Wei Yanwu nodded and continued.
However, the topic he talked about seemed to naturally exclude Tallulah, as if he had other plans for her.
"No need, Rhodes Island will find a place to live." Kal'tsit shook her head to refuse.
"In that case, please keep in touch."
Wei Yanwu said so.
"Xiao Ta, do you want to come to your uncle's house for a meal later? After so many years of not seeing you, your aunt has a lot to say to you. By the way, you can also try your aunt's cooking to see if it is still the same as it was more than ten years ago?"
Just as everyone stood up and wanted to leave, Wen Yue suddenly called out to Tallulah, who paused and looked troubled for a while.
"Small tower."
Chen Huijie also looked at her expectantly. Before meeting Fang Zhou and the others, Wen Yue had already contacted Chen Huijie privately and invited her to dinner at home tonight. Chen Huijie herself was also looking forward to this family dinner tonight.
"...No need for that. I came here with my friends from Rhodes Island. It's not appropriate to abandon them and go to a relative's house for dinner."
"Your friend..."
"Thank you for the invitation, Aunt. I also need to send the good news about the business cooperation with Longmen back to Canaan and tell Shuangxing and the others. I'm sure they will be very happy."
Tallulah quickly interrupted Wen Yue before she could continue. Although she had figured out the root of the problem, it still required some mental preparation for her to go directly to Wei Yanwu's house for dinner.
Wen Yue watched Tallulah leave dejectedly. Wei Yanwu took a puff of the pipe in his hand, and the smoke he exhaled sounded like a sigh.
"Go see them off and make sure they get out of the city safely."
When Rhodes Island and Tallulah left, Wei Yanwu gave instructions to Chen Huijie.
"Yes."
Chen nodded, then followed the Ark trio and Tallulah's four companions.
"By the way, and for this cooperation, thank you for taking care of us, uncle."
Before leaving the meeting room, Tallulah turned around and smiled at Wei Yanwu, then disappeared from Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue's sight.
Looking at the conference room where only he and Wen Yue (Hei Mino, Bai Xue:?) were left, Wei Yanwu's lips curled up into a rare smile as Tallulah's last call of "Uncle" echoed in his mind.
At least the kid calls me uncle.
Wei Yanwu sat back in the leather chair, took a deep puff of his pipe, and inhaled the smoke comfortably.
win!
At this time, after leaving the Governor's Mansion, Chen Huijie was just about to drive Fang Zhou and the four of them to the slums of Longmen, which was the dark side of Longmen. 98% of the infected people in Longmen stayed in the slums, and the remaining 2% were receiving controlled medical treatment in the few infected treatment institutions in Longmen, and most of them were rich or noble.
However, after getting in the car, Fang Zhou looked up at Chen Huijie and said, "Before we go to the slums, I hope Officer Chen can take us to a place."
"Hmm? People from Rhodes Island, you must understand, even Tallulah is the same. As infected, if you do not wish to be controlled by the Lungmen Guards, then the slums are the only place you can stay. Wandering freely in Lungmen City is a taboo for infected people and is also a violation of the Lungmen Infected Control Law. Most importantly, I am only escorting you to the slums under the orders of Governor Wei. I am not your driver."
"No, no, no, we're not going to any busy area. We just want to go to a bar to meet an old friend."
"Old friend? Who?"
Chen Huijie turned his head and looked at Fang Zhou suspiciously. Even Amiya gave him a puzzled look. When did the Doctor have friends in Longmen?
Only Kal'tsit raised her eyebrows, as if she thought of a person, or rather, a penguin.
"Where?"
Perhaps out of selfish desire to stay with Tallulah for a while longer, Chen Huijie started the car and drove onto the main road after questioning, and asked in a slightly cold tone.
"Penguin Logistics, the end of the earth."
Chi——————
Chen Huijie stepped on the brakes and everyone in the car fell forward, barely holding on to the back of the chair and the center console to prevent themselves from hitting their faces.
"Where are you talking about?!"
----------------------
Chapter 39 The Emperor and the Lich
If you run red lights repeatedly, you will get tickets.
Of the twenty traffic tickets, sixteen were hers.
Reporting to the Guards Bureau felt like coming home.
If you ask the citizens of Longmen if there is any legendary figure, they will tell you in unison: Penguin Logistics.
In front, red-haired Sakota dared to release a metal storm at the gangster's car with a burst gun on the highway in the prosperous area of Lungmen. Later, Lupert with a lightsaber unceremoniously used the bumper of an Originium car to send the Sicilians from Lungmen back to their beloved Syracuse.
If they were not too disturbing, I believe many Longmen citizens would like them, because for Longmen people, as long as they follow Penguin Logistics, it means there will be endless fun all day long.
Even five-star General MacArthur commented...
"Alright, alright, MacArthur's back in the East to see Oppenheimer. The big documentary 'Penguin Logistics Legend' is off the air!"
Interrupting the legendary man's dazzling appearance, Fang Zhou opened the car door and walked to the door of the neon-lit bar.
The end of the earth.
This remote bar has very few customers. According to the testimony of an unknown red-haired Sakota, on weekdays, only a henpecked uncle who always works overtime and a house-less mouse often visit this bar. For the rest, this bar is just a regular place for the girls from Penguin Logistics to rest and have parties.
"Are you connected to Penguin Logistics?"
"Their boss, to be exact."
Fang Zhou responded to Chen Huijie and pushed open the door of the bar with Amiya and Kal'tsit.
The noisy music rushed into everyone's ears in an instant, and the rhythmic drum set made people feel as if their souls were trembling.
"yeah!"
Holding the foamy beer in his hand high, Angel of Exiah squinted his eyes to feel the vibration of rock music brought to his soul, hugging Texas and cheering.
The Pocky in her mouth was bitten to pieces. With despair in her eyes, she watched the unscrupulous baker trying to trick Sora into going shopping with him using some gadgets he had bought from some fly market. At the same time, he quietly moved his feet towards the vinyl record player playing music. Until the sound of the door opening made the keen-hearing Rupert twitch his ears, and he reached out to push away the Archangel who had already rubbed his face against her.
"Stop it, there are guests coming."
"Ah? Where are the customers, Texas? Boss, you know this bar well. Besides that henpecked uncle and Uncle Lin, who else comes here? Nonsense—!"
Under the influence of alcohol, the face of the Archangel, which had already flushed cutely, even the originally golden halo on her head turned red.
It was not until he was pushed away by Texas that Exiah looked towards the door in a daze. When he saw the masked man wearing a helmet and a group of four or five people gathered outside, the sunset-red halo suddenly turned back to gold, and his flushed face instantly returned to normal.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Boss boss boss boss! There are customers coming to the bar! We don't have to close down anymore!!"
The noisy Nou Tian ran to the bar faster than Texas, grabbed a fat penguin sitting inside, picked it up and shook it back and forth, shouting loudly.
"**Unspeakable Penguin Screech**!!! Exia! Put me down now! You crazy Sakota!! And Croissant! Don't even think about stealing my vinyl! If I find out tomorrow that one of my records is missing, your salary and bonus this month won't be enough to pay for it!"
"Oh oh oh, hey, sorry, boss."
"Ahaha, don't worry, boss. I won't steal your vinyl to sell it. Minoans never do sneaky things!"
Click.
After pressing the off button on the remote control, the noise in the bar suddenly died down. Croissant and Sora, who didn't know what was happening, stuck their heads out from behind the sofa and looked over here. They saw a group of people entering the bar and their boss sitting behind the bar, wiping his face with a towel.
"Hey, welcome, everyone wants to... Chen... Chen..."
"Wow, Exia, even though we're a bar, we don't start by recommending people to buy aged... Aged! Aged!"
“Hello, Mr. Chen!!”
Looking at the two people in front of her who quickly took two steps back and bowed 90 degrees when they saw Chen Huijie, Tallulah looked at her sister with suspicion.
"Hey Huijie, are you really not some high-ranking police inspector on the surface but a high-ranking official behind the scenes, the kind of person who can do anything with what's good or bad?"
Veins popped out on Chen Huijie's forehead, and he looked at Exia and Croissant as if he were looking at dead people.
"Mr. Chen, look, why are you here? Are you here for a surprise inspection? Let me be clear! I'm just working at Penguin Logistics. I have nothing to do with this bar!"
"Exia!! I only earn tens of thousands of Lungmen coins a month, and I'm able to support an ungrateful person like you, right?"
Texas: ???
Texas looked at the Emperor with an indescribable look, while Exia looked at his boss with a grin: "Hey, Boss, there's an old saying in Dayan, 'Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately. What's more, we are just an employer-employee relationship."
"**Unspeakable Penguin Screech**!!! You're losing your bonus this month!!"
"That's enough, Mr. Penguin Logistics boss. I'm only here to bring a few people from Rhodes Island to see you. I don't have any official business. But seeing how Miss Exiah looked just now, I think I might be able to come here to perform some business in the next couple of days."
Ignoring the antics of Archangel and the Emperor, Chen Huijie signaled to the Emperor with his eyes that Fang Ark and others present were the current protagonists. He glanced at Archangel with a slightly downward corner of his mouth, and his words were a bit cryptic. The latter scratched his hair, chuckled a few times, and then looked at Fang Ark and others curiously.
"Rhodes Island? Oh, that's the medical company that solved the Originium pollution in Paramo City in Syracuse some time ago. Hmm, wait, if Rhodes Island comes here, then it means..."
As the emperor spoke, he seemed to remember something. He suddenly turned his head and used his short webbed paws to hold up his sunglasses. The penguin face with unique patterns and colors and the long beak with a slight curve were exposed under the light.
"Mr. Penguin!"
Those dark eyes with no visible whites were focused on Amiya.
Fang Zhou lowered his head slightly, looked at Amiya and said, "Call me Mr. Great Emperor."
"Hello, Mr. Great Emperor."
Amiya looked well-behaved.
The emperor said "hmm" softly, and after searching for a white-haired Philin among the five people in front of him, he seemed to have confirmed something and returned to his previous calm look.
"Hey, hey, hey? What? Syracuse? Boss, what are you talking about? Tell us."
"Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking. Go play! Texas, take Croissant, Sora, and this crazy Sakota back to the safe house. Today's party is over early."
"Ah—why!"
Exia let out a lovely cry, but Texas just indifferently grabbed her by the back of the neck, then called out to Croissant and walked towards the back door of the bar.
Seeing Sakota's kind halo disappear at the corner of the corridor, Fang Zhou put his hands in his pockets and smiled at the emperor penguin in front of him.
"Actually, it wouldn't be a big deal for those ladies to stay here. After all, they're only here to ask some insignificant questions today. They can also meet Mr. Great at the same time. This will make things easier for us when we collaborate with Penguin Logistics in the future."
"Hmph, I have no interest in dragging my girls into your mediation, and you say it's a small matter?"
The emperor moved his butt and turned around, his small eyes behind the sunglasses released a sharp look, which moved around and then locked on Tallulah.
"If what you call a small matter is bringing one of the last few Drakkirs on this land to me, then even Mr. Great Emperor would have to sigh at your magnanimity."
Upon hearing this, Tallulah immediately became uneasy.
In fact, up to now, in the past few years, apart from Fang Zhou, the Emperor was the second person who could recognize her true race at a glance... uh, person?
Others just regarded her as Vaifan with a weird character.
"But I have always wondered what you all want to do here. Since you are here, you are my emperor's guests. Please take a seat. You can order any drinks you want, except for alcohol."
Under the guidance of the emperor, several people took their seats one after another.
"Is the Emperor treating us?"
Fang Zhou sat down, Amiya and Kal'tsit sat on either side of her, while Tallulah and Chen Huijie seemed to have the same idea and sat on the other side together.
"Usually, I only treat friends. Rhodes Island is not yet considered a friend of my Emperor... But, I don't mind ordering a glass of juice for the little girl." The Emperor glanced at Amiya.
"Eh? Well, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Emperor, but I..."
Amiya was flattered and was about to refuse when she was interrupted by Fang Zhou.
"Do you have carrot juice? Give her a glass."
Fang Zhou asked the bartender behind the bar.
"Sir, you're really putting me in a difficult position. We have all kinds of fruits that can be used to make juice. We even have the specialty fruits from Xiosta. The only thing we don't have is a carrot-themed drink."
The bartender shook his head awkwardly, saying that he had no experience in making carrot drinks.
"Doctor!"
Amiya glared at Fang Zhou and said something coquettishly.
"I think you'll like it."
Fang Zhou glanced at the rabbit ears on Amiya's head and couldn't help but teasing, but the next second, as if something had suddenly looked at him, he suddenly shuddered.
"I don't like it, but I don't hate it either, just... huh? Doctor?"
Amiya looked at Fang Zhou, who seemed to be stared at by some dirty creature and couldn't help but sit up straight, and spoke in confusion.
"No problem. Sir, make her a glass of Granny Smith bubbles, thank you."
"Okay, don't worry, I will mix the juice into a dreamy color suitable for a pretty and cute girl."
