Chapter XXII: Political Marriages
"See, that's why it's not enough for you to stop taking advantage of it, and you have to pay it back. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" said with a smile helplessly, seeing Shen Ruoling as if he had seen a plague god.
"You feel like you're so afraid of her! She's not a man-eating tiger!"
"Huh. He smiled bitterly and said, "She is more terrible than a tiger." ”
The three of them approached, and the waiting group took the initiative to greet them.
"Welcome, welcome, the three of you are looking forward to it, let's talk inside. It was Beth, the CEO of Wingfield Phidi, a woman with very blonde hair, who led the crowd into the building.
Along the way, Shen Ruoling took the initiative to greet Yixiao. "Long time no see, Brother Yixiao?"
"It's not very long, only about five days. Yixiao really didn't want to deal with her, so he deliberately walked and chatted with Jingchen Allen on the side. They can't help but sigh at the financial resources of Yibi Feidi, the company's interior is not like the office buildings of other companies, and it is not simple to make it simple. Everywhere you look at the extravagant decorations, some of the ornaments such as vases and fountains are inlaid with gold, and the overall appearance is as if you have entered a royal palace, and you will never think that this is an office building.
Beth's office is located on the top 114th floor, and the windows here offer a panoramic view of the steel city. But the strange thing is that although the exterior is richly decorated, the CEO's office is very simple, with ordinary Nordic decoration style and extremely ordinary tables and chairs, with a high-end office computer, several leather sofas and a special tea table, and that's it.
"I don't really like to show off my wealth, I yearn for a low-key life more. Beth explained, seeing that everyone was suspicious.
"This building costs tens of billions of dollars, right? It seems that you can't keep a low profile. Alan whispered, not knowing whether it was envy or jealousy.
"The three of us are invited to come this time, mainly because of the proposal of Chief of Staff Shen Ruoling. "I'm afraid that the three of them don't know that there is a huge debt of affection here, and Beth will have to make up for it again. "She recommended you to me, saying that you are courageous, resourceful, bold and careful. Especially this little brother of Fu Yixiao, he is an excellent demon hunter with extraordinary talents, so it is only fitting that you can be invited to protect the safety of Nanguo Tears. ”
"Speaking of this southern tear ......" Yixiao wanted to ask when he was on the way, because he saw a booth in the hall on the first floor, covered with bulletproof glass covered with a gem, the gem was the size of two fists, and the shape was just a drop of water, like a tear. "It can't be the one on display on the first floor, right?"
Beth's subordinates were all guarding the door, and only she was talking in the office, Shen Ruoling and the three of them, and there were no other idle people, so she whispered: "It's just a fake, there are mechanisms set up around it, and if you touch the glass cover, a huge iron prison will fall from the sky." The purpose is mainly to attract brainless thieves and eliminate potential safety hazards in advance. ”
"I see...... Alan secretly rejoiced in his heart, he almost touched it when he passed by just now.
"The real Southland Tears, here. Beth opened the drawer of her desk and pressed the button inside, and the floor in the center of the office began to separate, and from inside rose an iron booth, the base of which was composed of two iron palms, and in each hand was the world's first giant diamond, Nanguo Tear.
The volume is almost the same as the fake, but the discerning person will know the difference between the two at a glance, the real southern tears are transparent with a little sky blue, and the whole hundreds of facets make the whole diamond reflect a dazzling light, and even illuminate the whole room more brightly, and the luxurious temperament of the famous diamond is fully revealed.
The four people except Beth couldn't help but be a little stunned, especially Shen Ruoling, how could there be a woman who didn't like diamonds? Such a big and beautiful diamond, let alone a thief, even if she wanted to take it for herself, she was envious of the princess of the southern country in her heart.
"This southern tear is priceless, so it has attracted the attention of many people. From the information we have obtained, at least three underworld organizations have put up bounties and hired capable people to steal the tears of the southern kingdom. Therefore, we have increased the security measures around the building, and we hope that there will be no accidents before the gems are delivered to Her Royal Highness. ”
"I've heard that your Bifidi is very influential in the southern country, and your chairman is a close friend of the king, so even if something happens, it won't be a big problem, right? Alan asked.
"The gem itself has a price, and of course we can afford it. But the meaning of this gem is priceless, and Princess Singila is the youngest daughter of King Pudrin and his most beloved daughter. On top of that, Pudlin had no children and only five daughters, so the most favored Singila had a chance to inherit the throne and become the first female king of the South. But it's a pity that the other four daughters are all married, but the youngest daughter is not married, so this political marriage with the north has to sacrifice the younger daughter. The king was so distressed by this that he ordered the craftsman to create the Tears of the South, and if the jewel was stolen, King Pudrin would not give up. ”
After listening to the laughter, the three of them instantly felt a lot of pressure. I used to think that this was just a welfare task with zero difficulty and good pay, but now it seems that it is not trivial, if one of them is stolen by someone carelessly, I am afraid that Wing Bi Feidi will put the responsibility on the three of them, and use them as substitutes for the dead ghosts.
While Alan and Jingchen were silent, Yixiao suddenly thought of another topic and asked, "Lady Beth, I heard that you are in charge of developing abilities, right?"
As soon as the word ability came out, Beth and Shen Ruoling were both surprised, but their expressions were slightly different. Beth was reflexively shocked as if she was allergic to these two words, and Shen Ruoling was the kind of surprise who didn't know how a smile could suddenly ask about such a topic.
"Uh...... Yes, King Pudlin gave our company the right to develop and research abilities, and in fact, the projects you can see, such as ability gathering and power generation, are all run by our wing Bifiddy. ”
"Dozens of kilometers from the border with Al Salin in the south, is there a strange energy mining area that you opened?"
"That's right, it's our newly discovered Anomaly, and we've put dozens of teams there. ”
"I'm sorry to tell you something. Yixiao pulled out his phone, pulled up the body of the monster he had photographed earlier, and handed it to Beth. "It seems like you're leaking in this mine, and on our way here, an infected human attacked us. ”
Shen Ruoling was shocked when she heard this, she snatched the phone and looked at it, nodding as she looked, as if she had an idea in her heart again.
