Zongman: The chef who is not doing his job

"You call this talking nicely?" my aunt complained.

"Didn't I speak nicely?" Wang Lin looked at Pu Qinglan in surprise and asked.

Pu Qinglan: "...If you say so, then it is."

At this time, Kidd complained: "Come on, three of you, I'm still here, you don't treat me as a human being? And you threaten me? Am I the kind of person who is afraid of this little threat?"

"No problem!" Wang Lin waved his hand casually and continued to say to Kidd: "We are going to hold an exhibition in a while, I hope you can come and patronize it!"

"What do you mean?" Kidd became interested immediately after hearing Wang Lin's words.

"Literally, I want to borrow your reputation to make some money from ticket sales." Wang Lin rubbed his hands and explained with a chuckle.

"Why should I cooperate with you? What's in it for me?" Kidd asked speechlessly. Why does this guy feel so good about himself?

"Don't you ask us what we are going to exhibit?" Wang Lin smiled slightly, showing that he was very confident.

Kidd curled his lips in disdain: "I won't come to any of your exhibitions. Don't bother. Even if I jump from here, I can't die without flying a hang glider. I can't..."

Wang Lin didn't wait for Kidd to finish his words, and immediately interrupted and said, "The main exhibits are two things, one is the Jade Dragon Pot, one of the eight legendary kitchen utensils, and the other is a gem called Pandora."

"...I suddenly think it would be nice to come and have a look when the time comes! Just consider it as supporting your exhibition. After all, it is not easy for the three of you to organize an exhibition." Kidd did not hesitate, and immediately changed his tone and answered sincerely.

"Very good! I like people like you who speak boldly!" Wang Lin showed a satisfied smile: "Although I still like your rebellious look just now!"

"Hahaha..." Kidd laughed awkwardly.

“Hehehe…” Wang Lin smiled foolishly.

"Wait, I have another condition!" Kidd suddenly came to his senses, with a confident smile on his face: "I want the Egg of Memory!"

"No!" This is Hong Aidi.

"Sure!" This is Pu Qinglan.

"Qinglan! This is a gift from me to you!" Hong Aidie stared at Pu Qinglan with dissatisfaction.

Pu Qinglan chuckled and shook her head: "Miss, I understand, but compared to this thing, you are more important. If you want to protect your family, I will naturally support you with all my strength. A memory egg is nothing."

Hong Aidi was very happy to hear Pu Qinglan's words, but she still looked at Kidd unhappily and asked, "Aren't your usual targets gems and the like? Why did you choose antiques this time? Although the gem on the Egg of Memory is not small, it should not meet your usual standards, right?"

Kidd was a little embarrassed at this time. Hong Aidi and Pu Qinglan's words made him feel guilty. After all, that was 800 million! Even if it was converted into RMB, it would be more than 400W.

He opened his mouth and asked for the Egg of Memories. Well, actually he was just giving it a try.

"Actually, I just want to return the Egg of Memory to its real owner." Kidd scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "There are actually two Eggs of Memory. They are both works left by the maker, Mr. Kiichi, to his family."

"This one from the Suzuki family is just a core." Wang Lin suddenly interrupted and said, "Just like the Russian nesting dolls, in addition to this core there should be a shell."

"By the way, I forgot to ask you before, why did you give the Egg of Memory to Sister Qinglan, Aunt?" This was indeed something Wang Lin was curious about, because he was not sure whether Pu Qinglan was the descendant of Rasputin.

"Well..." Hong Aidie hesitated for a moment, but Pu Qinglan was very open-minded and explained simply: "If there is nothing wrong with the notes my mother left me, then I should be the descendant of the Russian Imperial priest, Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin."

It is no wonder that Hong Aidie hesitated. After all, this priest has a bad reputation in history. He can even be said to be an evil monk who brought disaster to the country and the people. As a descendant, he naturally does not want to say it easily, for fear of being looked at strangely by others.

As for the original plot, Wang Lin didn’t know what others were thinking. Anyway, the person in front of him was very normal and did not have any excessive and stupid worship of the priest.

On the contrary, Wang Lin could see that Pu Qinglan did not like this ancestor, and even felt a little disgusted with him, but she seemed to have other complex emotions as well.

"I see..." Kidd was even more embarrassed when he said this. If that were the case, this girl could also be related to the Egg of Memory! Even if it was the priest who brought disaster to the country and the people.

"Are the people you want to return to the descendants of Princess Maria Nikolaevna?" Wang Lin asked Kidd again.

Kidd was confused: "What? What did you say?"

"Maria Nikolaevna? Didn't she die in history?" asked the aunt at the side in surprise.

"Nonsense, he must be dead after so many years!" Wang Lin complained speechlessly.

The aunt glared at Wang Lin: "I mean, didn't she die in the Russian Revolution?"

“Who knows?” Wang Lin shrugged. He didn’t know which princess Xiyi brought out that year. He just asked casually. He wanted to see if Kidd knew. But it turned out that this guy didn’t even know the princess.

Kidd touched his nose awkwardly, and then he realized that Wang Lin was asking about the third daughter of Nicholas II, the last emperor of the Russian Empire.

"I don't know which princess Mr. Kiichi brought out back then, but it must be one of those princesses!" Kidd said with certainty.

“Did you see it in your father’s notes again?” Wang Lin glared at him with dead eyes and complained.

"Ha...what did you say? I don't understand!" Kidd was so frightened by Wang Lin's words that he broke out in a cold sweat! Doesn't this guy know something?

"Don't worry, I didn't tell Officer Nakamori your identity. I'm already giving you face. By the way, didn't the witch lady beside you remind you? Or is it that she can't figure out anything about me?" Wang Lin speculated, touching his chin.

It seems that my system is quite powerful! Even Koizumi Hongzi can't predict his fate.

Good boy, Kidd is now certain that Wang Lin really knows something! No! This guy might know everything!

"Forget it, Sister Qinglan, if you don't want to return it, then forget it. At worst, we can go and help that descendant to find another egg of memory." Wang Lin yawned and said to Pu Qinglan:

"Don't worry about what Kidd said. No matter what it was like in the past, we bought it with our own money now. If we return it, it's a favor. If we don't, it's our duty. No one has the right to say anything!"

Hearing Wang Lin's words, Hong Aidi nodded in agreement and said to Pu Qinglan seriously: "That's right! Qinglan, don't think too much! Just make your own decision!"

This time, Pu Qinglan was silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's better to return it. I don't need to look for any ancestral items anymore, so there's no need to keep them."

"What's more, if what this Phantom Thief said is true, then this Egg of Memory itself is not something that belonged to my ancestors. It doesn't belong to me in the first place, so I should return it to its owner."

Qinglan's words finally made Kidd breathe a sigh of relief, and he assured her, "Thank you very much, young lady. Don't worry, I will remember what we agreed on. The 'Egg of Memories' is a favor I owe you three. If you need anything else, just come to me."

"Then, your actions tonight should be considered a failure?" Hong Aidie made a "please" gesture with a slightly displeased expression, and it was obvious that she was trying to drive someone away.

Kaito Kidd gave an awkward smile and bowed slightly to the three people as a farewell. Then he turned around and jumped off the roof of Tsutenkaku and left on a hang glider.

"Is there any reason for collecting that priest's things in the past?" Seeing that there were no outsiders present, Wang Lin's curiosity began to overflow again.

The aunt glanced at Wang Lin and said coldly, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"

It can be seen that my aunt is very angry now!

“It’s nothing, actually. It’s just that the power inherited from our ancestors also contains another curse that prevents future generations from living past the age of thirty. Before I reunited with the young lady, I had been frantically looking for something that could lift this curse.” Pu Qinglan directly answered Wang Lin’s doubts.

"Did you find it?" Wang Lin continued to ask.

"No." Pu Qinglan shook her head.

"It was my father who helped to break the curse and helped Qinglan control the power. Moreover, that priest left a big trouble for future generations. He will make them worship him mindlessly and even has the plan to borrow the bodies of future generations to revive him!" Speaking of this, Hong Aidie looked disgusted.

If Hong Anguo hadn't been so powerful and killed the demons, this old friend of mine would have been gone!
