Dutch took another closer look at her, then suddenly remembered and said, "I remember now, her name is Irina, the daughter of a Russian arms dealer. I used to buy arms from them, and it seems like she was the one who delivered them."
Because the bar was noisy, he didn't lower his voice when he spoke. However, the two were sitting very close together, and even though the surroundings were very noisy, the woman named Irina heard what he said and coldly swept her gaze over everyone.
No one paid attention to her unfriendly gaze. After all, it's not very polite to talk about others indiscriminately. The fact that she didn't come to cause trouble and just gave them a cold look was already quite polite.
"But why is she hanging out with the Blue Legion? I remember the Blue Legion mainly operates in the US, so I don't think I can hang out with them!" Dutch asked, puzzled.
"He's probably like you, buying weapons from her too," Locke said.
"That must be it." That was the only conclusion Dutch could draw.
“Oh, what business do they have with us? Come on, let’s keep drinking.” Levi didn’t like discussing such dull things when she was happy, and she shouted, raising her glass.
Everyone laughed and raised their glasses, but Shen Ye remained silent. He frowned, lost in thought, and muttered to himself.
“Irina…Soy…Soy…”
After Dutch mentioned Irina's name, Shen Ye fell into deep thought. At this moment, he had a vague idea of which story world the newly added plot character from the system notification came from.
CSOL!
When he first heard the name Soi, it sounded familiar, but since it was a very common name, he didn't think about it and assumed it was just a coincidence.
But after Irina appeared, he realized something was wrong. What a coincidence!
As a player who has played the classic online game CSOL, he naturally owned the character Irina. After all, a female character whose entire body is wrapped in bandages is too eye-catching, so it's impossible for him not to play her. Moreover, he had read the character's background information: Irina, the daughter of a Russian arms dealer, which was a perfect match.
"So, in this world, we'll not only have to face BOW, but also the alien beasts from the Pioneer Corporation?" Shen Ye only dared to think this way for now, since the later stages of that game had nothing to do with the word "biohazard" anymore.
Thinking of this, Shen Ye couldn't help but look up at Suo Yi, only to find that Suo Yi was also looking at him.
Actually, it wasn't just Zoe; several people around him were also looking at him, and everyone's gaze was surprisingly consistent, as if they were... looking at a scumbag.
Shen Ye said with displeasure, "What kind of looks are those?"
No one answered. Only Locke got up, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Shen Sang, although I admire you, Levi and the others are still here, and Soy only arrived today."
Shen Ye was completely confused: "I don't understand what you mean."
At this moment, Soi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke. She rested her chin on her hand and said in a low voice, "Although I do find you quite pleasing to the eye and wouldn't mind if something happened between us in the future, your women are all here. It seems a bit inappropriate to keep calling my name in front of them, doesn't it?"
Shen Ye then realized the situation and chuckled, "I was just thinking about something."
"Are you sure you're not thinking about someone?" Balalaika looked at him. "You just said Soi's name a dozen times."
"Really?" Shen Ye was taken aback.
“I heard it perfectly clearly,” Robert, who was sitting next to him, said.
Shen Ye scratched his head helplessly, but didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only spread his hands and say, "I remember I just said Irina's name."
“That proves you were thinking about two people at the same time just now,” Benny said, enjoying the spectacle and starting to fan the flames.
Shen Ye's breath hitched, then she glared at him fiercely, wondering if she should finally do what the Florida gangsters and the FBI had failed to do—drow him in the lake.
However, since Roanapur is near the sea, Shen Ye felt it would be better to throw him into the sea to feed the sharks.
Fortunately, everyone was just joking. Although the women did have some complaints, they didn't continue the conversation on that topic.
“Speaking of which, Shen, what were you thinking about just now? Why did you keep repeating Miss Soi and that guy’s names?” Dutch asked after a while.
Shen Ye did not answer his question, but looked at Soi and asked in a low voice, "Miss Soi, did you work in pharmaceutical research before?"
"Huh, you actually guessed it... No, it shouldn't be 'guessed it,' you must know something, and you're only just realizing it now." Soi looked at Shen Ye curiously, "How did you know?"
"Sorry, it's a secret." Shen Ye returned Soi's answer verbatim when he asked her the question at noon.
Soy immediately said irritably, "You really are unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss."
"Of course, I usually only like to take advantage of others," Shen Ye said, shrugging.
“Then I’ll have to stay away from you. Usually, when you say something is cheap, it’s not just a matter of words.” Soy said, getting up and moving his chair back as if he wanted to get away from him.
"Nonsense." Shen Ye twitched the corner of his mouth; the other party's actions had dealt him a significant blow.
Seeing that the two had started arguing, Dutch sighed helplessly and said, "These two guys have steered the conversation off-topic again."
Once the topic veers off course, it becomes difficult to get back on track. However, apart from Shen Ye and Suo Yi, no one present was interested in the backstory, so they started talking about other things until late at night before the event ended.
……
(Sorry, Chapter 2 will be added tomorrow, in this chapter.)
Chapter 340! I've come to find you.
(The part I missed yesterday has been made up. Please go to the previous chapter.)
……
Before they left, most of the Blue Legion members had already left, leaving only a blond middle-aged man and a few of his subordinates, who were keeping Irina company at the next table.
After Shen Ye and the others left, Irina got up shortly afterward. However, she had no other intentions; she simply wanted to find a hotel to rest.
"Miss Irina, please wait a moment."
Seeing Irina get up, the middle-aged man followed her with his men.
"Is there something you need?" Irina asked coldly, looking at him expressionlessly.
The middle-aged man, unconcerned by her tone, smiled obsequiously and said, "It's like this, I've already arranged accommodations for you. If you'd like, I'll send someone to take you there. Ah, don't rush to refuse, Miss Irina. You should know that Roanapura isn't a tourist city. The most luxurious hotels aren't necessarily as comfortable as local accommodations, and it's a very chaotic place. The hotels are mostly frequented by patrons of prostitutes, drug addicts, and johns. I suppose you wouldn't want to be too close to them, would you?"
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Irina thought for a moment and silently nodded: "I don't want to."
"So, I've arranged a luxurious rental room for you, with hot water, a bathtub, air conditioning, and clean beds. Most importantly, no one will bother you. What do you think?" the middle-aged man asked again.
“Okay.” Irina nodded, then asked in return, “What do you want from me to do all this?”
"It's nothing, I just hope you can put in a good word for me in the alliance in the future. As you know, I haven't been here long," the middle-aged man said humbly.
Irina stared at him coldly for a long time before nodding and saying, "I understand."
After saying that, she got into the car that had been prepared for her.
Watching the car speed away, the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. He cursed under his breath, "Damn it, if it weren't for your arms dealer father having influence in the alliance, I wouldn't be so servile to you."
After hurling a few more angry curses, the middle-aged man left with his men...
……
Inside the rental house.
After taking a shower, Shen Ye lay down on the bed, but he didn't close his eyes to sleep. Partly because Robert was still taking a shower, and partly because he suddenly felt uneasy, as if something might happen in the next few days.
Pressing his rapidly beating heart, Shen Ye sat cross-legged on the bed. He sat there blankly for a while, then suddenly muttered to himself, "It shouldn't be anything bad, right? I've always been lucky."
At this moment, Roberta, who had just finished showering and was wrapped in a bath towel, walked into the bedroom. Seeing Shen Ye sitting cross-legged on the bed, head down in deep thought, she asked in confusion, "Shen, what's wrong?"
Shen Ye raised his head, pointed to his heart, and said with some distress, "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel uneasy."
"Is it because of Soi?" Robert sat down on the edge of the bed, raised his hand and placed it on Soi's chest, gently rubbing it.
Shen Ye shook his head: "It wasn't her."
“That must be because you drank too much.” Robert smiled slightly. “Drinking alcohol speeds up your blood circulation, which makes your heart beat faster.”
"Maybe." Shen Ye sighed, but he knew that wasn't the reason.
"Okay, no matter what the reason, no matter what happens, I will help you solve it." Robert bit his lip, then untied his towel and hugged Shen Ye.
"Let's go to sleep now."
……
Meanwhile, it was already morning in Country M.
Jill was packing her luggage in advance while making a phone call.
"Chris, I need to take a few days off to go to Roanapur in Southeast Asia."
"Why are you going there?" Chris asked in surprise on the other end of the phone.
“Cui Zhiyun said he saw Shen there, I have to go find him.”
"Shen? What's that guy doing there?"
"How would I know? Anyway, Choi Ji-yun told me."
“Okay, but I still want to say something. That guy has been gone for so long, couldn’t you just wait for him to come to you?” Chris suddenly said indignantly.
“Maybe he doesn’t know where I am right now. You know we’re a special organization, and our identities are classified.” Jill immediately found a reason to exonerate Shen Ye.
Chris: "..."
After a long silence, Chris spoke again: "Okay, maybe you're right, but leave requires an application and signature in advance, and I'm still in Europe right now, so I won't be able to get it for a few more days..."
Jill immediately interrupted him: "I've already bought my plane ticket for tomorrow night."
Chris: "..."
After another moment of silence, Chris said quietly, "Since you're all prepared, what else can I say? I can only wish you a pleasant journey. You can sign the leave slip when you get back."
“Thank you, Chris,” Jill said gratefully.
"You're welcome," Chris said with a wry smile.
