Chapter 136: Goal (3)
When Adlai whispered a warning to Hughes to be patient, a figure had made its way through the crowd of people on the street and quickly came to their table.
βhello?β
This cramped and uneasy greeting caused the two who were talking to turn their heads to look at the visitor.
βExcuse meοΌWho is β¦β¦β
"Stop! We understand Chinese. β
Before anyone could stumble over this broken English, Hughes interrupted impatiently.
"Oh, okay, may I ask you, which one is Mr. Adelaide?"
"It's adelai, not adelaide. β
Adlai, who was silently looking at the person who came, frowned when he heard this, raised his head and said solemnly.
"Haha, Adelaide, friend, you're so funny. β
Knowing very well that the name Adelaide (Adelaide) is mostly for women in Europe, Xius, he immediately laughed out loud.
"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Adlai, I may have misheard your name from my employer. β
The man in blue, who realized that he had made a big mistake, hurriedly apologized to the middle-aged man on his right hand who was expressionless and seemed to be a little unhappy.
Then, he hurriedly said to Adlai: "I am a staff member of the Shencheng Mi family's errand errand, and I just received an order to return this notebook that you left in their conference room on behalf of your employer. β
With that, he placed the beige plastic bag he had been carrying in front of Adlai.
"The ...... I lost?"
Adlai hesitated after hearing this, opened the plastic bag and looked inside, quickly nodded, and said, "Thank you, this is my notebook." β
"Alright, then I'll leave first, Mr. Adlaide. β
According to his employer's instructions, the man in blue, who had really found his target in this open-air coffee shop, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked away slowly, gradually disappearing into the crowd on the street.
"Is this the next ...... for adults?"
Hughes watched as Adlai opened the plastic bag, took out a thin business notebook from it, and opened his mouth to ask.
Adlai didn't answer him, just quickly flipped through the notebook, and before he was halfway there, he found what he was looking for.
I saw that the pages inside were densely filled with English words, and when Adlaimer read them, he frowned, spread out the notes on the page, and handed them to Hughes, who was looking at him curiously.
"Let me see ......"
Hughes, who noticed the change in the expression on his companion's face, took the note and quickly read it, and it didn't take long for his face to be at a loss.
"What the hell, this is a list of favorites to win the Golden Dragon Award? What the hell does that mean, Adlai?"
Xius, who really couldn't cope with this kind of puzzle, didn't want to think about it at all, and asked his companion directly.
Adlai, who had already guessed that he would react like this, sighed, retrieved the notebook from his hand, and got up and walked out of the square.
"Hey, hey, this guy ......!"
Seeing that the other party left without saying a word, Xius shouted a few times in annoyance, and could only quickly raise his glass and drink his coffee before hurriedly leaving his seat and chasing after him.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Bang!"
With the sound of the door slamming shut, Adlai and Theseus returned to their tentative place of stay.
"Now that we're here, you can always talk, right?"
Suspecting that his companion had found the answer, Theseus couldn't wait to shout to Adlai.
"I only guessed one thing, no, maybe that's what the adults meant. β
Adlai sat on the sofa in the living room, the fingers of both hands clasped together, and after a moment of silence, he spoke slowly.
"As I mentioned to you before, you didn't intend to tell me all the details of the mission at the beginning, the purpose of this was to minimize the possibility of being discovered by those Chinese madmen, and it seems that this notebook is the same. β
He pointed to the spread notebook on the coffee table, and continued: "If you look closely, you will find that the names of several contestants on it are different from others, and that should not be a coincidence, but a deliberate approach by the recorder. β
Suspiciously, Hughes picked up the notebook and looked at the list again.
This time, he glanced at it a few times, and found that it was indeed the same as what his companion said, and the names of the contestants with several awards on it were different from those of the person next to him, as if they had been repeated several times, and the font was deliberately bolded, making it appear thick and black, which is really rare even in the United States.
"So...... What do these special names represent?"
Hughes, who was still confused, had to ask again.
"It's not clear yet, maybe they're the target of our trip, but I'd rather like they're just the next step in our action, like today......"
At this, Adlai shrugged, "Maybe we'll have to go through them to get the next word of action." β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Doesn't that mean we're going to stay in China for a long time......"
Xius, who understood something about his companion's words, was taken aback.
Adlai nodded, he had already taken out his laptop and typed the bold names into the search page one by one, hoping to find some information about them as soon as possible.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Mom, I'll have to concentrate on painting later, so you don't have to send me stewed fish gelatin. β
After the family went out in the evening and celebrated Lao Fang's birthday outside, Fang Ye parked the car and just entered the living room, called to the woman who was watering the flowers and plants on the balcony, and then went into his room.
"Alas, this kid ......"
When the woman who turned around and had not yet answered, she shook her head and sighed, complaining helplessly.
"How's it going, Mosquito Girl, is it over?"
On the other side, Fang Ye, who had just locked the door of his room, asked the mosquito girl who was left by him during the day and was responsible for keeping an eye on the original manuscript of the 'Gate of Heaven' throughout the whole process.
"Not yet, master, but I feel like it's almost there. β
Due to Fang Ye's return, the mosquito girl who flew happily from the doorknob landed firmly on Fang Ye's shoulder and whispered.
"Really, you stop here first, and I'll go and have a look. β
Fang Ye, who prevented the recurrence of the 'miracle resonance' phenomenon, stretched out his food indicator and flew back obediently before he walked towards the desk, obviously only a few steps away, but he felt the beating sound of his heart for a long time.
"Whether it succeeds or not is up to you. β
He muttered to himself, staring intently, until he saw the nearly full-page golden manuscript.
When he stretched out his hand to pick up the drawing, he suddenly swooped it out!
"It's ......!"
The next moment, a sudden change appeared!
