Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

The Emperor went to the recording studio, taking with him his most important assistant, Is.

So only the Rupert and Sakota remained.

"I'm thinking about the next delivery."

As soon as Texas finished speaking, Exusiai reached out her hands and pressed them tightly against Lupo's cheeks, slowly turning her head towards her.

“Texas, look me in the eye. You’re not a liar. Every word you just said sounds like a lie to me. You must have something very important that you haven’t told me.”

"It's nothing, really nothing."

A hint of panic appeared in the Lupo's eyes.

"I wasn't sure before, but now I believe it's true."

Exusiai sighed: "Texas, I thought we were inseparable comrades. We've been through so many life and death together, and you've never shown such an expression before."

"Feel sorry."

The Lupo, who was really bad at speaking, found that she couldn't out-argue the Exia, not even if there were two more. So she had to admit defeat. But admitting defeat didn't mean being honest. She still had to keep the things that needed to be kept secret.

Exusiai wasn't surprised by Texas's denial; she realized her position had shifted somewhat.

"Is that Mike, the owner of the auto repair shop?"

"what?"

Texas's denial didn't deter Exusiai. She looked at her companion seriously and said, "You go to that store every two days. I don't think it's for our sports cars. To be honest, Penguin Logistics can complete the delivery mission even without sports cars. Are you going to see Javi and the others? Do you think that's possible?"

The Luper stared at the little angel in shock. When did the angel begin to observe her actions?

Going to the repair shop to see Mike was an unconscious act she couldn't help, as it was the only way to slightly alleviate her longing.

If I had succeeded that day, perhaps I wouldn't feel so bad.

However, Mike Ann's identity needs to be kept secret, and even if Exusiai has some suspicions, Texas cannot tell her.

"You're overthinking it. I really just went to check on the repair progress of the sports car. After all, that car holds a lot of memories for us, and you don't want it to be scrapped like this, do you?"

Texas's reasoning was so sound that Exusiai had no chance to raise any objections.

Speaking of that sports car, the little angel was filled with emotion.

She and a deceased person were fleeing together in that car in Syracuse, playing a chase in the holy city of Lateran.

She originally thought that person was her everything, her future, but time stopped on that day more than two months ago.

Her righteous man is gone.

She has no more righteous people.

"Okay, Texas, maybe I made a mistake. If you have time, let's go to the repair shop together tomorrow."

Faced with Exusiai's demands, Texas had no choice but to agree.

The little angel began to have doubts; if he refused again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"But speaking of which, Texas, you really are different from before. I don't know what happened to you. I didn't get involved in the events in the outer rings of Lungmen. I just hope you're safe and sound."

"I've already told you I'm fine, your worries are unnecessary."

The Luper people remain aloof, responding with their individuality.

26. Next to arrive was Swire.

"I'm tired, I'm going to rest."

Texas got up and left.

She dared not stay with Exusiai any longer and continue the conversation they had just had.

Because it's very likely that the truth will be revealed if one is not careful.

"Texas."

Exusiai called out to the Lupo from behind.

Texas looked at her, her eyes asking if there was anything else.

"Are you sure you're not looking for a boyfriend?"

"Why do you think so?"

"I……"

Exusiai hesitated for two seconds, and the usually optimistic person showed a conflicted expression.

"I was just wondering what kind of person Texas would have if she got a boyfriend."

Boyfriend?

Texas recalled the scenes she had experienced with Mike and knew that if Exusiai found out, it would cause a lot of trouble.

She and An are not boyfriend and girlfriend yet.

"No, I don't have a boyfriend, don't worry."

"Feel sorry."

"I can understand."

Texas left without looking back, naturally not noticing that Exusiai's little face was almost scrunched up.

She watched the Lupo woman's retreating figure and murmured, "You really don't have a boyfriend?"

……

Koi Detective Agency.

The family's elder brother, Lao Li, got up very early and went to a market more than ten kilometers away to buy a lot of things. His children also reminded him that an important person was coming to visit today.

In fact, the children have already met all the important figures in Longmen.

From Governor Wei and his wife, to the Rat King who rules the outer ring of Longmen, and then to the current Director of the Guard Bureau, Swire, they are all regulars.

"Lord Wei especially loves this braised bamboo shoots; today we'll make sure he's salivating from the aroma."

Old Carp wields his wooden spatula up and down, cooking one fragrant home-style dish after another.

A few meters away from the kitchen door, on the sofa, the boy sat watching TV, his fingers lightly tapping the remote control, his mind wandering elsewhere.

If no one is visiting, he will definitely add more homemade ingredients.

"We're back."

Two young men, one tall and one short, pushed open the door and came in. As they walked in, the girl in the film, who was taking off her training clothes, called out, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry!"

Old Carp glanced back and saw that Miss Feilin was reaching for a plate of cut fruit on the table. He roared, "Huaihu, go wash your hands before you eat. After you eat, go take a shower. Hurry up, don't let Lord Wei see you like this!"

Upon hearing his shout, Huaihu quickly retracted its claws and said with a grin, "I know, I know, that was an accident."

Old Li snorted. This wasn't the first time he'd heard the word "accident" from Huai Hu. Could accidents happen every day?

"And you, Hum, come and help when you're done with your work."

"Good boss."

Of all my children, Hong is the least worrisome.

Before long, Huaihu washed his hands, ate a few pieces of fruit, and took a shower. His wet fur had dried with the help of the dryer.

Huaihu practiced her skills every day without fail, and the rest of the time she would find things to do on her own. Occasionally, when there was work to be done at the agency, she would help out.

The girl, named Felin, sat on the sofa. Arrang moved aside and whispered, "Do you know why Governor Wei came today?"

"I don't know? Do you know?"

"Of course, I'm very well-informed. I heard... oh dear."

Suddenly, Lao Li appeared behind the two of them and lightly chopped A on the head: "Don't make wild guesses about Lord Wei's affairs. Children shouldn't concern themselves with the adult world."

"I know, I know."

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang, and Hong, wearing an apron, went to open the door and saw Mr. and Mrs. Wei Yanwu standing there.

"Governor Wei, please come in."

The people in the living room also got up to greet Wei Yanwu's arrival.

Lady Wenyue followed behind her husband, both carrying gifts they had brought.

Old Carp quickly said, "You've come all this way, why bring gifts? Take them back, take them all back."

Wei Yanwu smiled and waved to the young people in the room, then said to Lao Li rather rudely, "I'm not giving it to you, why are you in such a hurry?"

Old Li's expression froze for a moment, thinking to himself that the things you're carrying are mostly for adults and children can't use them, but the snack gift pack is nice.

"What did you do? I could smell the aroma from the doorway."

Wei Yanwu bypassed Lao Li and came to the dining table. He saw a dish of braised bamboo shoots that looked and smelled delicious. Madam Wen Yue, who was changing her clothes, said gently, "I don't have any requirements for Lao Wei, except for one thing: you can't drink too much."

"That's nature, that's nature."

Old Carp readily agreed.

Actually, today's dinner was not just about the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Wei Yanwu, but also about another matter.

Not long after, the doorbell rang again.

As Huaihu walked to the door, he wondered to himself, "Who will it be this time?"

Upon opening the door, a tall figure appeared—it was Hoshiguma, with her long, flowing dark green hair.

The second-in-command of the Imperial Guard Bureau was wearing a tracksuit today. When he saw Hoshino, he first asked, "Am I late?"

"No, no, Governor Wei just arrived, it's not time for dinner yet."

“Then it’s not too late.” Hoshiguma nodded.

Her tall stature made it a little difficult for her to enter the door, as the corner of her head almost hit the door frame.

Hoshiguma and Hoshiguma had spent some time together at Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals. They not only knew each other but were quite familiar with each other, since they both lived in Lungmen and would run into each other frequently.

Having this connection with the operator eliminates a lot of unnecessary trouble.
