Arknights, my information is updated every day

Otherwise, Lin Yuxia would not be allowed to contact him.

But after this happened, he hesitated, feeling that Lin Yuxia could not control such a person.

If the two of them were allowed to continue to interact, Lin Yuxia would eventually be controlled by the other party, or even be used without realizing it.

If it weren't for Wei Yanwu's instructions, he would have been considering eliminating the hidden dangers.

However, he did not expect that this kid would take the initiative to visit him and bring a very important news.

"Reporting to the Rat King, what Zhongyitang wants to purchase from the Saint Jun Castle Hotel is arms, and they are brand new."

The Rat King paused holding the crutch, and his squinting eyes suddenly opened, revealing a gleam of light.

"Arms? After all these years, those guys in Ursus are still obsessed with stealing!"

"Master Lin, the news of Wang Dalong's arrest has not been made public yet."

After hearing this, the Rat King finally understood Chen Xiu's intention.

He had indeed come to show goodwill, and the so-called gift was this batch of smuggled arms.

As long as he finds out the details of the transaction, he can send people disguised as Zhongyitang to trade with the other side.

Take this opportunity to severely damage the Saint Castle Hotel, cut off the bear claws of Ursus, and give them a warning!

This matter cannot be done by Huiweitang alone, we must discuss it with Wei Yanwu...

Wait, has he seen through me?

The Rat King suddenly looked up at Chen Xiu, but saw that he was still respectful.

Facing the Rat King's slightly suspicious gaze, Chen Xiu smiled and said goodbye: "It's getting late, I won't bother you any longer."

After Chen Xiu left, the Rat King immediately called Wei Yanwu.

Chapter 80: Dragon Gate Son-in-Law (4K5)

Shi Huaiya's ancestral home, the master's bedroom.

On the Victorian-style dark walnut wall panels, the gilded tiger head relief is faintly visible in the halo of the wall lamp, and the thick dark green feather curtains filter the moonlight into gossamer.

Adams Shi Huaiya was half lying on a down pillow, the oxygen tube snaking around his sunken cheek, and the electrocardiogram monitor on the bedside table emitted a short electronic beep every ten seconds.

Wei Yanwu stood by the bed, with three bags of unfinished medicine hanging on the gold-plated infusion stand next to him.

At this time, there were only two of them in the room. The medical staff who usually stayed here had been temporarily asked to leave to avoid disturbing their conversation.

Wei Yanwu looked at Adams and a smile appeared on his lips.

"It's been a while since I last saw you, old man. You seem to be in much better shape than the last time we met."

"Oh, Governor Wei is a very busy man." Adams said bluntly: "No one comes to see me for no reason. It can't be good news if you come to see me. Tell me."

"Hand over Godfrey Swire."

"Oh? What terrible taboo did that kid commit that made you bother to come to his house in person?"

Adams took a long breath, and the silk quilt embroidered with dark gold tiger patterns rose and fell with his heavy breathing.

Wei Yanwu immediately explained what had happened to Godfrey, adding, "I don't know if he instructed those people to do this, or if he simply couldn't control his own people. Regardless, he disrupted Longmen's financial order and nearly caused a serious public safety incident! Someone like him is no longer fit to stay at Longmen."

"Haha, he's truly an incorrigible idiot." Adams nodded slowly. "Given the current status of the Shi Huaiya family, it would be truly shameful if he continued to eat in such an unpleasant manner..."

Adams naturally hopes that his successor will be someone who can blaze a completely new trail.

Even if not, he should be a smart person who knows how to maintain the status quo.

Rather than a fool who makes trouble.

"The Shi Huaiya family will give you and Longmen an explanation for this matter."

Adams coughed a few times and spoke in a weak voice, but his tone was firm enough to leave no room for doubt.

Wei Yanwu nodded. He believed that with Adams' control over the family, no one would dare to disobey his decision even if he was too sick to get out of bed.

"Next, let's talk about Beatrix."

Having said that, Lao Long showed a cunning smile on his face, looking very mercenary.

"She donated two million to Huijie's special investigation team in order to join the Imperial Guard Bureau. What's your offer?"

"Oh?" Adams raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else? Did she do anything else?"

"Do you think I'm here to report to you?" Wei Yanwu rolled his eyes at Adams and casually pulled over a chair to sit down. "She contributed to the investigation of Godfrey's case, and she also played a role in the robbers' capture."

Anyway, he worked late last night and had some free time tonight, so he didn't mind chatting with the sick old tiger.

"Haha, that's quite interesting." Adams laughed. "Although I don't see her having the ability to take over the Imperial Guard Bureau, she's definitely doing the right thing to achieve her goals. She even took down a competitor along the way. She's suddenly become smart."

"This brings me to the third thing I want to tell you." Wei Yanwu sighed. "Whether it's Huijie or Beatrice, they were able to achieve their goals this time not because of their own abilities, but because someone helped them."

"So what?" Adams asked doubtfully. "You and I can accomplish this by fighting alone, can we?"

"Of course not." Wei Yanwu explained in a low voice, "I'm worried that they will become the guests and the masters in the future."

Adams frowned and asked, "It seems that a powerful figure has appeared. Can you tell me more about it?"

Facing an old friend who was seriously ill and dying, Wei Yanwu didn't care whether he was embarrassed or not.

He immediately told the story of how his niece had blocked him in the Governor's Mansion and forced him to abdicate.

This caused Adams to point at him and laugh, even his face turned a lot redder.

"Hahahaha! I see. I was wondering why you got rid of Godfrey so early. According to your personality, you should have waited until he finished demolishing the old city before settling the accounts."

"Yes, the demolition is now at a standstill, and we have to spend time finding someone to take over again."

"This Chen Xiu is truly a character." Adams smacked his lips. "He can actually win even with two burdens."

To put it bluntly, Chen Huijie and Beatrice spent half of their time being Chen Xiu's puppets.

It’s no wonder that Wei Yanwu, the lazy dragon, is worried. The rank difference between the two sides is indeed too big.

However, Adams thought there was another idea that could be tried.

"In that case, why not just recruit him as your son-in-law?"

Wei Yanwu's eyes widened, and he almost thought that Adams had just become senile.

"Old Sick Tiger, are you crazy? That's a Sarkaz. What you did is really..."

"Boldly going against the will of the world?" Adams said disdainfully, "If I were afraid of this, the Shi Huaiya family wouldn't have come to Longmen! If you said he was infected, I would definitely give up on the spot. Otherwise, I wouldn't care what race he was."

Wei Yanwu snorted coldly, "Aren't you afraid that the Shi Huaiya family will be replaced by someone else in the future?"

"Not as long as I'm alive. If I die, it's none of my business." Adams was very open-minded about this: "I will try my best to find out whether he is worthy of trust. Besides, no family can exist forever."

Wei Yanwu fell silent. After all, the thinking of the Yan people and the Victoria people is quite different.

"Your wife probably has the same idea." Adams suddenly added, "My cat's personality is fine, but its abilities and character are still lacking in refinement. As for your little Chen, I don't think you can force him to succeed."

Wei Yanwu suddenly realized that Dongguo also had a tradition of recruiting a son-in-law as the family heir. Anyway, the child born by his daughter would definitely be of his own blood. As long as the family name was not lost, he would still be one of their own people in the future.

In that case, let's leave it to Wen Yue first and see what she is up to...

The sudden ringing of the phone interrupted his thoughts. When he picked it up, it was Lao Lin.

After the call was connected, Wei Yanwu quickly learned about the arms smuggling. His slightly frowned brows tightened in fear and his face became very gloomy.

If it weren't for the instructions from certain people, the Saint Jun Castle Hotel would never have the courage to make such a deal with Zhongyi Hall.

The Rat King had mentioned this matter before, but he didn't take it seriously at the time and just asked the Guards to investigate.

As a result, before the Guards could pry open Wang Dalong's mouth, Chen Xiu told the Rat King about it.

The progress of the Guard Bureau is too slow, so let the Shadow Guard take over to verify the authenticity.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Yanwu and Adams looked at each other in silence for a while.

"Tell me, what are you going to do next?"

"What? Are you trying to trick me?"

Adams glanced at a certain lazy dragon.

"It's not the right time to intervene now. It's best to wait and see what happens."

"Don't be so impatient. Weren't you very patient before? You're really getting worse as time goes by."

Although he said this, Adams was thinking in his heart that he should send someone to find an opportunity to contact Chen Xiu.

After much thought, it seemed that only his eldest son, Beatrix's father, was the most suitable.

Although this guy has no big ambitions, he is quite good at making friends.

But Beatrix couldn't know about this at first.

Meanwhile, Little Tiger was at home waiting for Smith to fulfill his bet.

"Look! This is a certificate awarded to me by the Imperial Guard Bureau in recognition of my contribution to the case!"

Logically speaking, this thing would not be distributed so quickly. After all, the robber was caught just yesterday, and any commendation would have to wait until the dust settles.

But Shi Huaiya really couldn't wait that long.

So, considering the two million yuan in funding, Chen Huijie awarded her one in advance.

Smith was even more shocked. He never expected that his daughter could achieve such brilliant results within a week.

The tiger's tail was raised high, and Shi Huaiya held his head high and chest out, almost lifting his chin to the sky.

Looking at his daughter's smug look, Smith sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with his old father.

"Beatrix, just do it if you want to."

"Your mother once said that your eyes always reflected the moonlight of Victoria. Now it seems that moonlight has been tempered into a blade guarding the Dragon Gate... The Shi Huaiya family has been engaged in business for generations, but this is not the only path we can take!"

Shi Huaiya stared at Smith in a daze, and heard relief and joy in his words. He seemed very happy to see her find her own way.

"Dad, I will achieve something that I can be proud of."

The little tiger stared down at the commendation order in his hand.

“This is just the beginning!”

Guard Bureau headquarters building, detention room.

The lead-gray searchlight pierced through the iron windows and bars, cutting out pale squares on the concrete floor.

Liu Yuanshe was crouching in the shadow of the corner, his snake tail twitching nervously, and his scales scraping against the ground, making a rustling sound that was extremely irritating to the ears.

"Hiss, Lawyer Fang will get me out soon."

He stared at the hill-like outline of the iron bed opposite him, and there were Chen Huijie's shoe prints in the folds of his suit.

"Heh, the death of all your peasant brothers is none of my business! If you weren't more trouble than help, I would have been acquitted by now..."

"Bullshit! You're a motherless lizard!!"

The iron chain suddenly straightened, Wang Dalong's spine arched like an angry rhinoceros, and the cast iron bed legs twisted and groaned under the strange force.

Before Liu Yuanshe could see the trajectory of the hook punch, he heard a crisp sound of bone breaking in his jaw. Two broken teeth mixed with blood foam splattered on the wall, and his gold-rimmed glasses were thrown away in an instant.

"Don't think I don't know what shameless and perverse thoughts you've had!"

Vaifan's roar made the ventilation duct buzz. He wanted to beat Liu Yuanshe up from the moment he entered the door.

Liu Yuanshe's snake tail wrapped around the opponent's waist and abdomen, trying to strangle him, but the scales were forcibly stretched apart by the opponent's tangled muscles.

He casually grabbed the snake's tail and twisted it hard, and some of the vertebrae in the long tail made a sound like a dead branch breaking.

A fishy and sweet taste filled his mouth, and Liu Yuanshe curled up on the ground and retched. Through his swollen eyelids, he saw his severed tail twitching in a pool of blood. The severe pain paralyzed his nerves, and panic and fear finally appeared on his face.

"Help! Help! Help!"

Wang Dalong walked slowly forward, and the heavy shadow completely covered the snake's trembling body.

"Wait! Master Godfrey promised, grunt..."

The pleading stopped abruptly, and Wang Dalong pressed Liu Yuanshe's head and stuffed him into the smelly toilet.

"Ha! Money, I can give you money! I still have some! No, gurgle gurgle gurgle ..."
