Chapter 83. The second temptation
"Was it really just a small accident?"
Shi Huaiya's face was full of disbelief, Miss Longmen flicked her bag, hung it on her shoulder, and waved her hand: "Let's go, I know there is a good restaurant nearby, which will definitely satisfy you." ”
The big tail gently patted Zhou Jinru's calf, and she stepped in a straight line towards the exit of the Royal Guards Academy.
Xingxiong didn't say anything, and followed Shi Huaiya, then Chen dragged the bagpipes with a restless face, and Su Suluo stood beside Zhou Jinru.
"It really doesn't matter."
Su Suluo nodded hesitantly: "If the doctor has any questions, you must tell me in time." ”
When everyone walked out of the Guards Academy, the same commercial vehicles they had been riding in were waiting on the side of the road.
Shi Huaiya gave a few words, and soon, another car drove over, and she said in a pure Victorian tone: "Doctor, the new clothes are ready, you can go to the car to change, it's not convenient to eat when you're soaked." ”
Zhou Jinru couldn't help but laugh and said, "How many things have you prepared?" ”
"A lot, it depends on whether the doctor has the ability to try them all."
Miss Longmen gently covered her lower lip, her tail swaying behind her, and told him with her eyes that he should be bolder.
Zhou Jinru looked at the new car, there were obvious traces of modification, like a bus cut off a part, he walked to the back compartment, two waiters in formal clothes opened the door, and a temporary changing room appeared in front of him, not only all kinds of men's clothing are complete, but even watches, pocket watches, canes and top hats have many styles to choose from.
Rhode Island came to Victoria's team, and he was the only man except the puppet, and Shi Huaiya didn't necessarily know about the existence of the puppet, so what she prepared should be for herself.
Zhou Jinru grabbed the handrail and stepped into the car door, and the waiter whispered before closing the car door: "You can open the door by yourself, or you can knock on the door to signal us to open the door." ”
After taking two steps in the changing room, Zhou Jinru's eyes were fixed on a Victorian trend magazine, which was obviously also reserved for him to choose the right style.
After flipping through a few pages, he turned to look at the display hanger, his eyes swept over it, and he had an idea in his mind.
……
……
"Chen Chen, I'm really sorry for today's incident, I didn't expect an accident to happen."
The bagpipes shook Chen's hand and sincerely apologized.
Chen waved his hand: "You don't have to care, it's not your problem at all, accidents happen every day, and it's because no one knows that it will happen that it's called an accident." ”
"But ......"
"No, bagpipes, you've been using your code name when you were in school?"
The bagpipe was uneasy, she saw that Chen took the initiative to divert the topic, so she didn't keep dwelling on it, and nodded: "Yes, if I use a different code name, if I meet someone I know, they don't know, it will bring trouble." ”
Chen sighed in her heart, she knew very well what the character of the bagpipes was, and asked, "Have you been on vacation now?" ”
The bagpipes had a gloomy expression and reluctantly said, "Yes, yes, I'm still on vacation." ”
"What's going on, aren't you already in the army?"
"I'm just on vacation, don't worry about me."
Chen frowned, the girl in front of her refused to tell the truth, the two had been separated for a long time, and she didn't know whether she should continue to ask, so she said: "It just so happens that I am also on vacation, and Master Wei of Longmen gave me a long vacation, so I came out to relax." ”
When the bagpipes heard Chen's story, their eyes lit up, and they immediately lowered their heads: "You still have to go back to Longmen anyway." ”
"Don't go back for the time being, I have a temporary position in a pharmaceutical company, and I am a special agent of the Longmen Guards Bureau to support them, both on vacation and working, can you leave Victoria?"
Work and vacation?
The bagpipes looked at Chen blankly, and there was such a thing?
"If you leave Victoria, you should have an application that will be approved, but you won't be able to submit it until the working day after the recovery day."
"Then come and help me, maybe it will help to relax in a different environment."
"Is that okay?"
Chen smiled and said, "Aren't you on vacation, you should receive another salary, why can't you?" ”
Is this really possible?
The bagpipes didn't know what to say for a while.
"The doctor is out."
Xingxiong, who was leaning on the door of the car and playing the handheld, stood up straight, only to see the door of the changing car being opened by two waiters, and a man in a long black windbreaker walked down, the heels of his leather shoes fell to the ground, he held the top hat in his hand, and looked at it with a calm gaze, as if he was a person who came out of a melodrama, because this was the style of dressing in that era.
Shi Huaiya's eyes widened, she knew very well that there was no such outfit in that Victorian pop style, the doctor should have taken multiple sets of clothes apart and made this one, but he was really dressed appropriately, not energetic enough, not young enough, but deep enough to wear the heaviness of an era.
"According to the information released by Rhode Island, the actual age of the doctor seems to be only twenty-five years old, why do I think he is already thirty-five years old?"
Xingxiong glanced at Shi Huaiya: "Do you like to look younger?" ”
Miss Longmen shook her head: "When I was studying abroad in Victoria, when I attended parties, those little children liked to brag about how capable they were, they were always like this, frivolous, reckless, eager to express themselves, just like Liboli who opened the screen, desperately showing off his beautiful feathers, I prefer the doctor like this, he was still very young in Longmen, but after a few months, I began to suspect that his real age was twice as old as the published information." ”
She lifted her chin slightly and looked at the man not far away with satisfaction: "I liked handsome and cool people before I was twenty years old, and after I started to get in touch with the family industry after I was twenty years old, my view of mate selection has become capable, courageous, financial, and handsome, and now I think that the doctor is my goal, no, he is not for the time being, I should first strive for him to be the key partner of the Swire Group." ”
Xingxiong couldn't help but take half a step back, Miss Shi Huaiya seemed to have said something terrible, I hope she came to her senses and didn't want to kill her.
The eldest sister of the ghost clan subconsciously turned her head to look at her old partner, and was shocked to find that even Chen fell into a deep dazed state when she saw the doctor.
"Ah Chen, are you okay?"
Chen stared at the approaching doctor and muttered, "Don't you think he's the character in the sitcom?" ”
"That character?"
Xingxiong looked at Zhou Jinru again, and his eyes were in a trance for a while, until a powerful palm pressed on her shoulder.
"Star sir, you're distracted."
For a moment, a royal bloody story emerged in the memory of the star bear, it was a bizarre world, the protagonist was an unknown ghost, and finally became a heroic character with the company and help of various companions, in the story, the protagonist has a mature and stable human friend by his side, he failed to accompany the protagonist to the end, and disappeared after giving enough help, and never appeared again, it may be that the author forgot to add a plot to this character, and he disappeared after his role ended.
"It's like that."
She couldn't help but say.
Zhou Jinru's face was full of doubts, he changed his clothes and came out, why did they all become like this?
"Guys, shouldn't we go to dinner?"
His voice reminded everyone, and Shi Huaiya, who came to her senses, subconsciously covered her face, and quickly ran to the business car to pull the door and sit in.
Chen pulled the bagpipes into the car without saying a word, and Xingxiong followed closely behind, and no one said a word, making the second monk Zhou Jinru puzzled and didn't know what was going on.
"Dr. Susulo, what happened when I wasn't there?"
Faced with the doctor's question, Su Suluo also blushed and asked rhetorically, "Doesn't the doctor realize that it is his own problem?" ”
What's wrong with me?
He feels very good about himself.
I don't have a problem, you have a problem.
……
……
"Barely hiding your identity?"
The blonde-haired Duke Edward sat at his desk, reading his men's report on the investigation that roughly stated that the Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Company had retrieved several of its frigates in the outer ports of Victoria, and that another of their team had entered Lentinium with the Swire Group.
"The guy I saw at the gala yesterday is most likely a Dr. from Rhode Island?"
Duke Edward couldn't believe his eyes, and laughed, "How bold is he, or is he unaware of his situation?" ”
Is such a nervous person swaggering into Lentinium to attend the Resurgence Day celebrations and private parties, or is he ignorant?
Jingle bell~
The phone at his desk rang, and Edward picked it up casually, listening to the report on the other side of the microphone, and after a few minutes, he couldn't help but glance at the photo of the man on the work report a few more times.
Just twenty minutes earlier, Dr. Rhode Island had gone to the Royal Guards College and had a physical altercation with someone from the Yan Mission, who had been instigated by the Yan Mission, so they cautiously did nothing and let him go.
In addition to the Rhode Island operatives, the entourage also included the heirs of the Swire Group, the former director and deputy of the Longmen Guards Bureau, and a Victorian active duty soldier, and the results of the relationship investigation showed that the military and the heir of the Swire Group and the former director of the Longmen Guards Bureau were classmates.
"It's that person's daughter, hasn't she faded out of the military? The doctor from Rhode Island is here, and it still has something to do with the military?! ”
"No, I can't just look at the present, the biggest reason for her retirement is the collision of the old nobles and the new nobles, and the arrival of the regent, eventful, anything can happen, I must be more cautious."
Duke Edward's brows furrowed into the shape of "Chuan" little by little, and he was not allowed to think too much about it in a special period.
"Continue to observe, if he just comes to play, he will naturally leave the country when the recovery day is over."
……
……
"No rejection, no opposition, everything goes according to plan, my appearance will inevitably attract attention from many parties, some people will think that I am here to play, and some people will think that I am here to make trouble, no matter what they think, instead of guessing what I want to do, they have to guard against their own people."
"In the cracked sky over Lentinium, it is not only the old and new nobles of Victoria who are stuck in the quagmire, but also the one, the new nobles want to break the old system and gain more power and wealth, the old nobles want to maintain their position and overwhelm the challenges from the outside world, that one wants to wear the second crown, but unfortunately the old and new nobles will not agree, so no matter who does anything, the other two parties will take the initiative to seek a breakthrough, so they will most likely continue to observe and try to maintain the status quo."
"Vina's visit to Lentinium is a very risky act, her features are quite obvious, and countless pairs of eyes will watch her every move."
"It's just a rehash of the same trick, and I won't have any problems until someone breaks the balance, that's all."
"Scenario...... Pass. ”
Zhou Jinru opened his eyes suddenly, his mind was a mess, and it took a long time for him to wake up.
"I'm supposed to dine at the Seven Cities Restaurant, why is it here?"
His last memory is of a dessert during the meal.
The scene in front of him was obviously not the Seven Cities Style Restaurant, he was sitting on a chair with a few lines of paper in his hand.
"Don't go out."
"Don't open the door."
"No one can believe it."
All right.
Zhou Jinru put his hand into his clothes, he felt out the Colt revolver, his fingers gently flicked the magazine, and the metal machinery made a clicking sound.
"I should have been dragged into the dream by someone, this is just a temptation, as long as I am more visible, the safer Vina will be."
Holding the revolver, he stood up and walked towards the door step by step.
The sound of the wind whistling behind a thin layer of wooden door panels, and it was clear that a strong night breeze was blowing outside, and a narrow and bright space was enough to give people a sense of security.
"Strong self-suggestion, I'm acquainted."
Zhou Jinru grinned and shouted softly: "Lighthouse! ”
A bright light burst out from above his head, and the dazzling light like the scorching sun instantly filled the entire room, and then, the picture in front of him directly shattered, and a noisy sound suddenly appeared in his ears.
"The doctor seems to be asleep?"
"He's probably too tired, and he has to work until the early hours of the morning every day."
"It's okay, let him lean in, I don't feel it."
Zhou Jinru opened his eyes and found that he was leaning on Xingxiong's shoulder, her long dark green hair pressed against her forehead, and her nose smelled the fragrance of shampoo.
One of the guests sitting at the front table suddenly covered his mouth and let out a violent cough, red blood running from between his fingers, and blood sliding down his nose, ears, and eyes.
Zhou Jinru slowly sat up straight, took a bite of a piece of meat handed over by Shi Huaiya, and watched the guest stumble out of the restaurant, and the service staff hurriedly chased after him, asking if he needed to call an ambulance.
The lighthouse has the effect of breaking through the fog, and the mountain is immune to all mind control, so even if you get hit, you can immediately understand what is happening.
His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, staring at the sign of the Seven Cities Style Restaurant, and he could already guess who was testing him.
