born criminal

The heavy door opened slowly, and then closed automatically behind him.

In the shadow of the wall stood a man who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.He walked towards Yangzhou and Andrew, and extended a hand gracefully: "Mr. Yang, welcome to Utopia."

His blond hair was shining brightly in the sun, but Yangzhou could see that it was dyed, and he was a Chinese.His eyes fell on the other person's chin, and he smiled slightly: "Hello, Mr. Fang."

Before coming here, Fred told Yang Zhou that Chen Jian has two right-hand men: Fang Xing and Eric.Fang Xing is easily recognizable because he has a sword tattooed on his chin, pointing from the jawbone to the center of the lip.

"Get in the car, both of you, Mr. Chen is waiting for you."

The sale of airships is prohibited at the Natural Born Criminal base, so the car he was talking about was just a car.

Yangzhou and Andrew got into an antique Porsche.Fang Xing observed Andrew's agile movements and praised: "The robot technology outside is really advanced now."

"Thank you." Andrew installed a specific voice system, speaking with a proud tone: "I am currently the most advanced intelligent humanoid robot in the world."

Fang Xing started the car and chatted with Yang Zhou: "Has Mr. Yang always worked in the Ministry of Justice?"

"No, it turned out to be from the Ministry of Commerce."

Fang Xing glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and mocked jokingly: "Then Mr. Yang has been demoted?"

Yangzhou smiled lightly: "It's just a transfer at the same level."

The gray scenery outside the window gives people a sense of depression. Except for the occasional robots and holographic images, this place is like an ordinary small county town more than 200 years ago.When he saw a cleaner coming out of a bakery in the distance, Yangzhou couldn't hide his surprise: "Do you still have sanitation workers?"

"Our technology is backward. Strictly speaking, the development of technology is prohibited in the base. There are not many simple intelligent robots, so some jobs still need to be done by humans - doesn't Mr. Yang know?"

Yangzhou responded to his sarcasm calmly: "I remember that the law does not prohibit the sale of robots to the base."

Fang Xing laughed out loud. The tattoo on his chin made his delicate face a bit indifferent: "Then please ask Director Yang to help us lobby in the parliament to reduce our tax burden."

After he finished speaking, he changed the topic directly and began to introduce the layout of the No. [-] base to Yang Zhou and Andrew.The planning of the base is very clear, divided into five districts, east, west, south, north and middle.The central district is the area where government, courts, schools, shopping malls, entertainment venues, hospitals and other public facilities gather, and the remaining four districts are residential areas.Most of the government officials, including Governor Chen Jian, live in the southern district, and some social celebrities—yes, there are such people in the base, live in the western district.

"Here we are." Half an hour later, the Porsche stopped on the lawn in the front yard. Fang Xing pointed to the white building in front of him and said, "Mr. Chen's mansion."

It was a gorgeous European-style villa with towering spires and beautiful Roman columns.Yang Zhou and Andrew followed behind Fang Xing. As soon as they walked to the corridor in front of the door, a robot like a trash can came out and said in an unhurried electronic voice: "Mr. Fang, this is Yang Si Is it long?"

"Hmm. Where's Chen Jian?"

Yangzhou glanced at him calmly.Calling them by their first names, it seems that the relationship between the two is really close.

"Mr. Chen is taking a nap." The robot said to Yang Zhou, "Hello Director Yang, my name is D3."

Yang Zhou was secretly surprised that this simple robot was equipped with a very intelligent system. "Hello D3," he pointed behind him: "This is Andrew."

"Hi." Andrew said, "You look a lot like R2-D2 in Star Wars."

"You look a lot like C-3PO."

After the two robots complimented each other, D3 turned the wheel around: "Come in with me."

The villa was very warm, with thick wool carpets on the floor and several oil paintings on the walls.Yangzhou saw the dancing flames in the fireplace, and made his first judgment in his heart, the owner of the room was very old-fashioned.

D3 said: "Wait a minute, I—"

Then there were footsteps on the stairs.A group of people looked up, and D3 also turned his camera and greeted: "Mr. Chen, you are awake."

The man was wearing a black nightgown, the belt around his waist was loosely tied, exposing a strong wheat-colored chest.He has disheveled hair, holds a freshly lit cigar in his left hand, and walks lazily and calmly, like a cheetah taking a leisurely walk after eating and drinking.

His gaze fell on Yang Zhou from the beginning to the end.

This young man in a snow-white shirt and black trousers has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, his nose is just right, and a plump bead protrudes from his thin lips, which makes people want to move.

Chen Jian simply stopped, leaned lazily on the armrest and smoked a cigar, staring at Yang Zhou intently in the smoke.

Fang Xing's face changed slightly.He was about to speak, but Yang Zhou preempted him: "Mr. Chen?"

Chen Jian smiled slightly.

He suddenly changed his laziness just now, walked downstairs quickly, and warmly extended his hand to Yang Zhou: "Director Yang, hello."

Yangzhou found that he was actually very handsome, with high browbones, deep eye sockets, and the profile of his face was as sharp as lightning.It's a pity that there is a wildness and arrogance in this handsome man, and that is what he hates the most.

"Hello." Yangzhou nodded politely.He wanted to let go, but Chen Jian held on tight and squeezed his fingertips.

"I didn't expect the Ministry of Justice to have such a... young and handsome director." Chen Jian blinked ambiguously.

Yang Zhou withdrew his hand forcefully: "I'm overwhelmed. Mr. Chen is young and promising."

"Sit down." Chen Jian made a gesture of invitation, and led them to sit on the sofa near the mantelpiece: "What would you like to drink?"

"No need." Yangzhou said, "Andrew and I are just here to visit, and we will go to the United Government Hotel to register for accommodation later."

Chen Jian leaned on the sofa with no image, folded his arms, and sincerely objected: "How can that be done? The conditions there are too bad, and Mr. Yang cannot be wronged. There is also this one - it's called Andrew, right? A charging socket for your power."

Andrew: "I have solar panels."

"There is always a time when there is not enough sunshine in winter?" Chen Jian looked at him half-jokingly.Andrew compared that look with the picture library, and found that there was a sense of threat in it.

Fang Xing, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help frowning and interjected: "I remember that the official hotel has—" Before he finished speaking, he met Chen Jian's stern gaze, his heart skipped a beat, and he reluctantly closed his mouth.

Chen Jian graciously proposed: "Actually, as soon as I heard that the investigators from the Ministry of Justice were coming, I asked someone to clean up all the empty rooms in my house. If you two don't dislike it, you can live with me for a while."

Andrew looked at Yangzhou. On the premise of obeying Jeffrey's order, he had to obey the arrangement of the retired policeman.

Yangzhou was silent for a few seconds, then smiled faintly: "Then bother Mr. Chen."

Chen Jian rested his chin and lazily said: "My honor." He turned his head and told D3: "Arrange Mr. Yang in the room opposite to me."

Yangzhou's heart tightened, but his expression remained calm. "Andrew, can you accompany me to pick up my luggage in the car?" he asked.

"You're crazy, Chen Jian!" As soon as Yang Zhou and Andrew left, Fang Xing scolded, "It's fine if you mess around in the city, this is a member of the coalition government, and a policeman!"

"Retired policeman." Chen Jian pressed his hands down: "Why are you excited? I have a sense of proportion."

Fang Xing took a few deep breaths and calmed down a bit: "Do you want to keep him by your side to stare at? It's too risky, in case he really comes to investigate..."

"It depends on who will show his feet first." Chen Jian raised an expectant and cruel smile, obviously very interested in the next "game".

Fang Xing sighed heavily, and gave up the idea of ​​persuading Chen Jian to change his mind.Chen Jian is Chen Jian, and once he makes a decision, no one can convince him.He hesitated and asked, "Isn't it because he is good-looking that you kept him?"

Chen Jian looked ambiguous: "Of course there is also this reason."

"You..." Fang Xing felt something stuck in his throat, and he coughed twice in discomfort.

Chen Jian raised his left hand and found that the cigar had stopped burning, so he threw it into the fireplace in disappointment.

A burst of white smoke drifted out slowly, and the room was filled with a strong tobacco aroma.

"It's violent." Fang Xing complained.After being silent for a while, he looked towards the door: "It takes a long time to carry a luggage?"

"We're discussing countermeasures." Chen Jian twitched his lips: "This Yangzhou...is very interesting."

Yang Zhou took the luggage out of the Porsche's trunk and motioned Andrew to help him carry one of them.

Andrew took the suitcase, but stood still, and said in a low voice, "Yangzhou, I think it's wrong for you to agree to Chen Jian's request, which makes it inconvenient for us to move."

"Action? How to act?" Yangzhou sarcastically said, "Tell me, who is your informant? Apart from knowing that she is a woman and has a false name called Irene, what else do you know?"

Andrew was silent, he really didn’t know more.The informant who provided information to Jeffrey was very mysterious, out of the control of UNPO, and did things inexplicably.Sometimes she would take the initiative to report various situations at the base, but sometimes she ignored the police department's investigation request.

"Andrew, think about it. The technology here is backward, the economy is underdeveloped, and the genetic engineering must have the corresponding equipment, and it also requires a certain amount of manpower and material resources. Can one person do it?"

Andrew raised his bionic eyebrows in surprise: "No. So, it's Chen Jian pushing behind?"

"Almost certainly." Yang Zhou looked at the villa not far away, his body became hot with excitement, but his tone of voice was cold: "He wants to test me, and I want to test him."

Andrew hesitated: "I still think it's too risky."

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch a tiger's cub." Yang Zhou picked up his luggage and walked towards the villa, and said flatly, "Don't worry, no matter where you live, it won't prevent you from watching me. You can also report today's affairs to Jeffrey."

"I'm not here to spy on you," Andrew said, "I'm your partner."

Yangzhou let out a "huh".That's why he's against people marrying robots, because they're boring and just follow orders.

Andrew followed behind Yangzhou, searching for all information about Yangzhou in the storage.

Jeffrey's two sentences caught his attention.

"A man who doesn't follow the rules."

"There was a sublime humanity in him."

There are dozens of definitions of human nature stored in Andrew's chip, none of which can correspond to what he saw in Yangzhou.He turned his head stiffly, as if shaking his head and sighing.

Seeing Fang Xing approaching, Yang Zhou ordered in a low voice, "I'll check for monitoring equipment in the room later, and install a signal jammer."

"Ok."
