Chapter28

"President, regarding the last transaction between us," Lang Chen changed the subject calmly, "Are you able to fulfill your promise?"

Although she used interrogative sentences, her tone was quite firm.

Carmen smiled, shrewdness instantly covered that young face:

"Hehe, Langchen, you completed the first step of the transaction beautifully. Now, it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

He said, beckoning to Lotas who was standing beside him, "Lotas, show Lang Chen the things."

Lotas agreed bluntly, then nodded to Lang Chen, and then turned around and walked into the small door on the side of the meeting room—it was a temporary reference room for storing things needed for each meeting.

She came back quickly, the high heels of her boots tapping rhythmically on the floor.

Lang Chen could feel her heart beat faster, and she waited calmly.

Lotas turned on the computer, quickly typed a few times on the keyboard, and a simple projection white screen landed in front of the conference hall with a "crash".

She walked over with the computer in her hand, holding a transparent glass box: "Deputy Director Lang Chen, here you are."

The moment he saw the glass box, Lang Chen's eyes turned sore: there was only an old bullet-shaped kaleidoscope in there, exactly the same as the one Man Man was holding and looking at in the photo.

Before he had time to open the glass box, Lotas operated the computer and gently reminded Langchen: "Deputy Director Langchen, now you can have a 2-minute video conversation with your sister. Are you ready?"

Lang Chen looked at the projection screen in front of him: "Let's start."

Lotas pressed the last key, and the channel was instantly connected.On the screen, the face of a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl appeared——

Round eyes, upturned nose, thick lips, long black hair tied into two braids, hanging on the chest.

Lang Chen burst into tears, she looked at the little girl in the white curtain, opened her mouth, but couldn't make any sound for a moment.

This made her very anxious-she had called this name in her heart countless times in the more than 400 years after her sister was lost, but at this moment she couldn't call her sister's name.

After more than ten seconds of trying, Lang Chen finally called out his sister's name: "Manman—"

The little girl on the white screen showed a puzzled expression.

She felt that this person was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but that was all; as for why the other person knew her - in her consciousness, this was a matter of course, because everyone around her knew each other She, they told her from childhood:

Her name is a single word "man".

But she didn't know that it was the innocent look of doubt on her immature face that completely knocked Lang Chen down.

Lang Chen couldn't hold it any longer and choked up.She exhausted all her strength to control herself from standing up, and flew to the projection screen to grab the illusory projection and cry loudly—the younger sister didn't recognize her anymore.

Her soft heart was full of bitterness, but she told herself secretly, at least now, she knew Manman's whereabouts; everything was going in a good direction, wasn't it?

Now, she still has 1 minute to say a few words to her sister.

Lotas handed over the tissue in time, and Lang Chen quickly wiped away his tears.

What to say and where to start?

At this time, the little girl in the projection suddenly came forward. She stood still in front of the projection, and reached out to touch the curtain in front of her, as if she wanted to touch Lang Chen: "Who are you? Why... I can't touch it." your turn?"

Lang Chen didn't dodge.The little girl's question made her feel relieved.She thought, let's start by answering the long questions.

"My name is Langchen. Because...we met through a projection, and what you see is the illusory me, so you can't touch me."

She stretched out her hand, and visually overlapped with the other's small hands in the air: "Manman, how old are you this year?"

"Eight years old—"

The projection screen flickered suddenly, then went out.Lotas stood up holding the computer: "Deputy Director Lang Chen, two minutes is up."

Eight years old—Has Manman even forgotten his own age?

This idea flashed by, but the excitement, joy and anticipation of the future completely occupied Lang Chen's heart, and she didn't think about it - besides, the transaction hadn't progressed to the point where she could ask more questions.

"President." After confirming that Lang Chen had left, Lotas locked the door of the conference hall from the inside, and the previous elegant smile disappeared, replaced by deep worry, "It seems that the little girl is still not smart enough. In just 2 minutes, he almost revealed himself in front of Lang Chen."

She patted her chest with lingering fear: "What do those people in the biological base do? Damn it! Such a little girl hasn't been trained or taught well in eight years."

"No hurry, Lotas." Carmen leaned on the sofa, with a meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth, "It's good that Langchen didn't find out. What's more, the people in the biological base have just started, and they will always be able to adjust and teach their works well." It will take a little time, as long as Blue Rose can hold on."

"The bastards of the Blue Rose Union have been restless these days."

Zhao Xi changed his previous image of kindness and elegance, and cursed several times.

More than a month ago, a small-scale battle broke out in the Empire State Building due to the arrest of the female supernatural being Lang Chen, resulting in the death of Nightingale, deputy director of the Criminal Justice Department.

There was a vacancy in the position of deputy director, and the empire could not find a suitable person to fill it in for the time being. Therefore, all the unfinished files in Nightingale's hands were handed over to Lan Su, the head of the criminal justice department.

Unexpectedly, Lang Chen, the protagonist of the arrest case, was involved too much: the theft of the NO. Miss Langchen's hand.

In the case of Seasong City's trade, the Empire and Blue Rose have always been hostile; the Wumu in Seasong City is a captured trade commodity——

From this, Lan Su logically deduced that Langchen was from Blue Rose or Haige Emperor Palace, so he tried his best to send people to infiltrate and track them, but he didn't expect to find nothing for more than a month.

And in the early morning of September [-], after the empire arrested two hostages of Blue Rose at the western train station of Yuemang City, the relationship between the two parties deteriorated even more.

Because of the dispatch of personnel, the empire has not yet completed the training of new supernatural beings, and it is the time when there is a shortage of manpower. Therefore, it is proposed to negotiate with Blue Rose-about the division of the scope of Wumu trade in Seasong City.

Blue Rose refused to negotiate at first.Yesterday, he suddenly claimed to accept the negotiation, but his attitude was extremely arrogant: he asked the empire to give up two-thirds of the hunting range of Haisong City, and at the same time, he could not interfere with the resources of Hegula's northern region.

Of course, the empire refused to agree, so Blue Rose sent more than 100 mechanical soldiers to attack the industrial base in the north of the empire late last night on the grounds that the negotiations had broken down, causing considerable losses.

It was the first time for the empire to fall into such a passive situation, and several back-to-defense meetings were held in a row. Because of this, Zhao Xi stayed up all night until this afternoon.

After explaining the situation to the subordinates of the clean-up department, she angrily cursed several times, and anger was brewing every step she took to step off the stage.

Li Wenqing seemed much gentler at this time, and she glanced at the subordinates with different expressions:

"At present, the relationship between the two parties is sensitive. Please don't go out casually and be on standby at any time. Let's end the meeting."

She turned to look at Hu Xun who was sitting in the corner: "Fox, come to room 17602 immediately."

Room 1706-02 is next door.

When Li Wenqing wanted to open the door, he found that it was locked.

She frowned and entered the door lock codes one by one.As soon as the door opened, a piercing siren rushed into Li Wenqing's ears——

Faint smoke lingered in the room, triggering the smoke alarm.

Zhao Xi leaned crookedly on the loveseat sofa, propped his chin with one hand, and fell asleep in such a noisy environment.

However, what makes people laugh and cry is that even at this moment she is still crossing her legs, and a cigarette is burning rapidly between her right fingers——

The soot kept falling, and the fireworks touched Zhao Xi's fingers.

"Damn it!"

Feeling the heat, Zhao Xi woke up irritably from a nap, and found Li Wenqing standing in front of her, leaning over and looking at her with a smile.

Seeing Zhao Xi wake up, Li Wenqing frowned. She threw the document on the table casually, and took Zhao Xi's fingers with both hands, showing a distressed look on her face, but a sly smile in her eyes.

"Zhao Bu, are you okay? Does it hurt?"

Zhao Xi saw Li Wenqing's disguise at a glance, but she was happy to cooperate with Li Wenqing in the performance, and also wanted to see how Li Wenqing wanted to play tricks on her, so she took a breath on purpose: "It hurts a bit, but I'm fine."

"Pfft—hahaha!"

Zhao Xi frowned and pretended that Li Wenqing couldn't hold back his laughter.She reached out and nodded Zhao Xi's head:

"Zhao Bu obviously doesn't hurt, so he insists on pretending! You say you, why are you so irritable today? It feels like we have exchanged souls!"

At this time, Zhao Xi realized that Li Wenqing was much calmer today, but she herself was irritable because of the continuous meetings. The roles of the two of them were suddenly completely reversed. Does this mean that they are influencing each other and changing? How about getting more and more like each other?

Zhao Xi became overjoyed because of this discovery, and there was a bit of joy in those empty pupils, which was really decent.

When the two of them were sitting together and making love to each other, Hu Xun came in.

She was not surprised, and sat on the sofa opposite the two calmly: "Excuse me."

Li Wenqing sat up straight from Zhao Xi's arms, picked up the document on the table and handed it to Hu Xun:

"After the last interrogation, Lan Su's real name submitted to the imperial court for a retrial to investigate the evidence that you deliberately colluded with Langchen and assassinated Nightingale. However, it was dismissed due to serious lack of evidence."

"Langchen was originally the target of your mission, but you don't know whether she is dead or alive. The empire has searched for it to no avail. The current situation is tense and manpower is urgently needed, so I have decided to give up and continue the search.

In any case, your completion of this task is very low, and you cannot increase the corresponding points.can you understand "

The siren that kept screaming in the room made Hu Xun feel agitated——

Zhao Xi lit another cigarette, took a deep puff, and exhaled a large cloud of white smoke.

Hu Xun was like an irritated big cat, jumped up from the sofa, strode to the corner, and kicked it down.

The siren stopped abruptly, and the room was finally cleared up.

Li Wen knew early on that Hu Xun had such a temper, and she frowned habitually.

"Also, your mission this time really opened my eyes, Fox." Li Wenqing's tone became sarcasm, "You actually fell in love with that Miss Lang Chen, and even said it in front of Lan Su. You Do you know that for an assassin—for the entire empire, it is a big joke?"

Hu Xun sank into the sofa, shrugged nonchalantly: "It's a joke, it's a joke, it didn't cause any loss anyway."

She still hasn't recovered from the disappointment that she just lost five points——

"Damn, I really lost my wife and lost my army!"
