Chapter 33: Father and Son (Third Update, Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
When Russell returned from the statue of the deerhead, it was still early, far from nine o'clock in the morning that he had made an appointment with Miss Icewater.
Although it didn't match his style of always coming to the scene, Russell stretched and enjoyed the cool air of early seven in the morning.
But when he arrived at the office, he found that the delphinium had arrived.
β¦β¦ Or rather, she didn't go back.
"Good morning, Ultramarine."
Delphinium greeted gently: "The inferior is not here today, what are you going to eat?" I'll give you some takeout. β
"I heard half of it, and I thought you were going to cook for me yourself......"
Russell complained: "Speaking of which, I haven't eaten your cooking yet." I remember you could cook, right? β
As soon as he entered the door, he was keenly aware of the well-hidden tiredness of the delphinium.
She took a shower in the office of the Special Operations Department and put on her makeup to hide her dark circles.
But in the morning, the essence of "people who haven't slept enough" and "people who haven't slept enough" are completely different, and night owls can tell at a glance.
What's more, Delphinium is not playing games all night, but working overtime......
But since the delphinium didn't seem to want him to know, Russell pretended not to see it.
"I used to be a cook, but now I don't cook much......"
Delphinium sighed: "It's mainly my psionic relationship. My poison doesn't just make chips for you to use.
"If I'm in the mood...... If you are more excited, the food you make may be poisonous. β
Delphinium's words are more tactful.
But in fact, Russell knew what she meant - lethal love.
As the name suggests, when she has love, no matter what kind of love it is, it can kill someone.
"I'll eat it myself, but I can't give it to you.
"And since you can't give it to others, you can only eat it yourself...... I'm usually fooled around. It's better to cook than to order takeout. Over time, the cooking skills also regressed. β
"It's a shame......"
Russell sighed, "Your mother's craftsmanship is very good." I also think that in that case, your craftsmanship will probably not be bad. β
"Then come to my house for dinner. I'll just ask my mother to entertain you. β
The delphinium narrowed its eyes happily, the corners of its mouth raised, and the fluffy tail behind it swayed briskly from side to side.
When she realized that her tail was wagging unconsciously, she felt that it was a bit rude, and shyly tried to control it - but it was like trying to control her desire to shake or shake her legs, and it was very uncomfortable, even uncomfortable, and her ears twitched.
So the delphinium simply let its tail wag with all its might. The shaking suddenly became even greater.
"Speaking of which," she said casually, as if nothing had happened, "because I am a little concerned, I will help you check on Miss Bingshui by the way." β
By the way, checked?
I checked it all night, and I tried to verify the correctness of the information again and again for fear that Russell would be killed by a mistake in the information...... I'm afraid it wasn't until the second half of the night that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her lips were a little dry, and she was so nervous that she didn't drink much water.
Russell sighed in his heart.
It must be false to say that you are not distressed.
But they didn't confirm their relationship, nor did they express their affection for each other, although they both regarded each other as special people, but the relationship was always a little worse. This made Russell not very easy to care about each other...... The main thing is that I can't tell where I stand.
and a vague fear in my heart...... The rejection from the delphinium, and the rejection of "all of him".
Because he wasn't sure what Delphinium was thinking, Russell decided to take it steady.
If he had regarded Delphinium as a tool from the beginning, it would have been easy for Russell to gain her approval and favor - but it was precisely because of his concern that he could not use his abilities against her.
But even so...... Just after the two met for the first time, in just a few minutes after Russell got Xiao Liuli's suspected demon report, Russell had already synchronized his thoughts for a short time on the Delphinium, which was not special in his heart at that time.
- He thought, maybe it was that act at that time that made him always feel a little weak after that.
Because Russell couldn't figure it out, was the synchronization and tacit understanding between the two real, or was it the result of his mind reading at that time?
The result...... Russell will try to avoid the behavior patterns and personal preferences of the delphinch, which he is "fully aware". It's like a person who has secretly seen the best strategy, with the guilt of peeking at the strategy, knowing that there are shortcuts and truancy skills, but deliberately avoiding it and not using it.
Even if you have your original strength, you may be able to explore that shortcut, that skipping class technique
So Russell, who can speak well and be friends with anyone, becomes clumsy in front of Delphinium.
Now Russell can only try to follow the delphinium and say to reduce the pressure of the delphinch: "What have you found?" β
"The good news is that this incident has nothing to do with the dragon, and it may not have anything to do with history."
"Where's the bad news?" Russell asked.
He knew that since Delphinium had said so, there must be bad news hidden behind it.
"This matter is directly related to the board."
Delphinium crossed her fingers and said seriously: "In that kidnapping case, the hostage who was burned to death was codenamed Monkey-faced Eagle. He is the founder of 'Grass Owl Biotechnology'. He was in his forties when he was kidnapped, and his spiritual relatives were mildly ill, so he was in the prime of life at the time.
"That's a strange thing to do. Typically, kidnapping involves kidnapping the target's family rather than kidnapping the target themselves.
"I think it's not so much a kidnapping as it is that they intended to steal each other's memories in the first place. But in order not to attract attention, he pretended to claim that it was a kidnapping. β
"Hawk, ......"
Russell frowned slightly.
Although it does not prove that the other party's code name has an eagle in it, it means that his spiritual relatives are eagles.
But because of a certain man's relationship, Russell didn't have a crush on the eagle spirit - but fortunately, he also knew that he had some preconceived notions in this regard.
Although Monkey Faced Eagle is the boss of the company, he is also the core member of the entrepreneurial team. But few people know that at the same time he was a technical advisor to another start-up company.
"βthis company is called the 'Root Project.'"
Russell's pupils shrank slightly.
He remembers the name!
This name, Grandma Lan once told him......
Two of the three founders of Project Root rejected Kamalse's hostile takeover.
Kamalser then sent Morgan to permanently physically persuade the two men who refused to take hostile takeover, and divided their shares into the hands of the only shareholder who agreed to the takeover.
But after the remaining two died and the shares were in their hands, the remaining director suddenly turned around, exposed the matter to the Cyber Church, and issued asylum applications to Theosophical Heavy Industries and Thotreonic Energy.
And this is what Delphinium found out.
"The director's code name is 'Dust Gap'."
After saying similar things to Russell to Grandma Lan, Delphinium added what happened afterward:
Because of Kamalse's sudden disappearance, the director, whose life was in danger, is still alive today. The dust gap has now taken an airboat and safely arrived at Tongshen Island, which is under the jurisdiction of Shenzhi Heavy Industries. While he is in a safe state...... Previous information on the Internet about Kamalse's hostile takeover was also quickly erased. β
"I thought something was going to happen to the airboat he was on......"
"That's what I actually thought."
Delphinium shook her head: "But it seems, some people don't want him dead." β
Russell keenly sensed the key: "Does the dust gap have anything to do with the monkey-faced eagle?" β
"That's right."
Delphinium nodded: "The dust gap is the son of the monkey-faced eagle." That is, the 'son of the hostage' in the incident that Miss Bai Xue investigated.
"At that time, the technology that was stolen was not only the technology of grass owl biotechnology, but also the technology of the Root Project. However, compared with the grass owl biotechnology, which can be ranked first, and has already been acquired by Tianen Group, the 'root plan' at that time was simply driven by the interest of a few entrepreneurial college students.
"And Grass Owl Biotechnology got a big investment about 10 years ago...... It was during those three years that he relied on that investment to develop.
"I checked, and the investment was specially approved by the chairman."
ββ¦β¦ Chairman of Sailun? β
"Yes."
Delphinch nodded seriously: "And just about half a month ago, the root plan was also secretly made a huge amount of money by the same account.
It was because of the money that the two founders rejected Kamalse's subsequent hostile takeover.
It's not because they're conceited enough to think they can start a company without going to any head office. It's because they think that they have already defected to another director of the head office, so they don't look down on Kamalse.
"That is, Chairman Sailun."
ββ¦β¦ There was no need for Mr. Dust to leave Happiness Island. β
Russell didn't feel right halfway through.
That's not right either...... If the Root Project is a company that is sheltered by the Tianen Group, then there is no reason for Kamalser not to know that Sailun has invested in this company.
Even if he doesn't know, the root plan allows him to say it directly - he was given priority investment by your chairman, and there is nothing that can't be said.
"That's what I said. But here's what's weird...... Why did the chairman release him? Why did she make such a large sum of money? And it happens to be the son of the monkey-faced eagle she invested in ten years ago......"
Delphinium frowned: "I don't understand at all, there must be some key connection missing." But there are so many coincidences. What can be confirmed is that it must be related to Chairman Sailun. β
"Wait a minute," Russell suddenly thought of something, "you mean, half a month ago?"
"In other words, after we get the whole cooked?"
Hearing this, the delphinium was stunned for a moment. Only then did she remember that Russell had arrested someone more than a month ago.
"This has something to do with Downtown?"
She was a little puzzled: "It shouldn't be like it......"
It's not about the lower city, it's probably about the mage.
Russell muttered, "Then I might have found a clue."
"You were right at the beginning, Delphinium. This is indeed a very, very dangerous investigation......
"But I've been in it for a long time."
"Then there's no way around it."
Delphinium smiled helplessly: "Isn't that just refueling." β
