Chapter 391 This bed has been stained with my scent
While Chu Zihang and Xia Mi were having a real basement romance, Lu Mingfei had already returned to the hotel with Fenrir's cocoon.
When I walked out of the elevator, I saw Finkel looking for his keys. He had gone to the Chinese branch to borrow some equipment to look for Mr. Friedrich von Roon, who was hiding somewhere unknown, and he had not returned until now.
But I don't know where I lost my room card and key, so I can't get in.
Even though he was careless and forgetful, his intelligence ability was truly remarkable. In such a short period of time, he actually managed to lock onto several suspicious targets.
As soon as he saw Lu Mingfei coming back, Finkel wanted to report the progress immediately, but his eyes fell on the big white ball in his hand, and his curiosity suddenly piqued:
"Junior brother, where did you pick up this dinosaur egg? Are you planning on having it as a midnight snack?"
This thing looks like an egg, but is the size of a basketball. It definitely can't be an ostrich egg.
The surface is delicate in color and has a jade-like texture, more like a work of art. He guessed that it must be an antique that Lu Mingfei found from somewhere.
"That's about right." Lu Mingfei tossed the egg in his hand and smiled mysteriously, "Do you want to eat some? I'll fry two bunches of leeks for you later."
"Forget it, I don't like eating eggs. They have too high cholesterol." Finkel shook his head and refused. Looking at Lu Mingfei's expression, he knew that there was definitely something wrong with the egg. Who knows, the person might be scrambled with the egg, or the egg might be scrambled with the person.
Lu Mingfei smiled and threw the room card to him.
Finger didn't ask him when he took it away. He opened the door and motioned Lu Mingfei to come in. After closing the door, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"Junior brother, I found a few suspicious targets..."
As the capital of a country, Beijing has tens of thousands of foreign residents. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to find a deliberately hidden German among them.
Finkel contacted Norma in advance and asked her to create the illusion that she was actively active on the Night Watchman Forum. After initially screening out clues from the massive amount of information, she carefully removed all traces of the search to prevent it from being noticed by interested parties.
Norma assisted him and knew what he was looking for. Although she could not directly access the investigation records of Kassel College over the past century, she could provide analytical support and help identify the target.
In the past, due to the underdeveloped information technology, if a person wanted to hide, it would be almost impossible to track him.
But this is the Internet age after all, and netizens are very happy to share their experiences online to gain attention. Some clues are hidden in these minor details.
As the strongest paparazzi in Kassel Academy, Finkel is extremely good at digging out privacy from clues. It is through these fragmented information that he successfully screened out several highly suspicious targets.
For confidentiality reasons, he did not leave any electronic records and kept all the information in his mind.
The suspects on the list have various identities: former embassy staff, foreign teachers at private schools, antique dealers, wealthy businessmen coming to China for recuperation, and an old doctor who settled in China after the war...
All of them are Germans who have lived in China for many years and have almost completely integrated into local society.
"Time is limited. This is all we've found so far. Give me some more time, and I'm sure we'll find more." Finkel shrugged. "So, do you plan to pry open the door and check the water meter tonight, or come visit tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm not the King of Hell. I don't have to report for duty in the middle of the night." Lu Mingfei didn't rush to act. There was no news from Su Enxi yet. He planned to cross-compare the information obtained by both parties and take action after comprehensive judgment to avoid alerting the enemy.
Since Friedrich von Roon was able to hide for a century, even if he was a pig, he should have run his own family. What's more, he was a traitor who plotted against the first generation of the Lionheart Society and almost led to their destruction.
Even if he doesn't have an established power, he must have established his own network of contacts and information channels.
And if he wasn't stupid, he would definitely keep a close eye on his German compatriots with similar backgrounds to see if they suddenly disappeared or were visited by people of unknown origin.
If there is any sign of this, it means that the strongest dragon slayer, Hilbert Jean Ange, who is full of revenge, is about to reach his doorstep.
"So, what about Chu Zihang and Xia Mi? How are they progressing now?"
Since he no longer needed to worry about serious matters, Finkel naturally became concerned about gossip.
If nothing unexpected happens, this year will be his last year at Kassel College. It will not be so easy to earn living expenses for his younger classmates in the future. He has to make good use of the opportunity now.
As Chu Zihang is a prominent figure in the academy, the odds related to him will naturally attract the interest of countless junior and senior students, and even graduated seniors and school leaders.
The only thing to pay attention to is the leak of information by Caesar and Nono, the two insiders, otherwise everyone will follow them and buy villas by the sea, and only he will have to sell his ass to pay off his debts.
And there's Susie, she would probably be very sad if she knew the news.
Alas, this is the bad thing about boys who are too popular. They hurt girls' hearts unintentionally.
Thinking back to when he and Eva got together, how many junior and senior students shed tears on the spot, and the whole Kassel Academy was filled with the sadness of a broken heart.
"I don't know. They're probably just hanging out somewhere. That's what happens when a young man and a young woman make their relationship public." Lu Mingfei pointed at them like a husky. "Don't try to make any big news, kid. If they start a mixed doubles match, I won't be able to stop them."
This successfully suppressed the raging gossip fire in Finger: "So should I still go for the physical examination tomorrow?"
"Go, you've been infected by the Dragon King's blood. The Word Spirit is too much of a burden on your body. If you don't find a way to resolve it, be careful that your bones will be crushed by your muscles."
Fingel had previously revealed his true strength when he fought against Odin's two wolves on the Nibelungen viaduct. He was so strong that Chu Zihang was not sure of winning. But at the same time, his flaws were also very obvious. His Word Spirit was consumed too much, and if it continued for a long time, his bones would not be able to bear the load of his muscles, eventually leading to physical collapse.
Finkel also knew about his physical problems and did not refuse the arrangement.
"Don't order fried chicken and Coke tonight. Keep your stomach empty. If it's not serious, I should be able to resolve your health issues tomorrow."
Su Enxi's return also brought good news. The research institute she invested in, referring to the information left by Herzog, successfully used the remains of the White King to develop a serum that can stabilize bloodline.
This is something that has been under research for a long time. Once the materials arrive, we can capture a few bounty hunters and Deadpools who value money more than their lives to conduct experiments, and it will be put into use soon.
"That would be great."
With Finkel's grateful farewell, Lu Mingfei pushed the door and left.
When I returned to my room, I found that Eri and Zero had already taken a shower. They were sitting on the bed in a duck position playing Super Mario Bros.
"It seems I came at the wrong time." Seeing that both of them were wearing pajamas, Lu Mingfei leaned on the doorstep and looked at them with a smile, but did not go in.
Ling didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly and nodded as a greeting.
Eiry almost jumped up from the spot and was about to pounce on him, but he raised his hand to stop her.
He had just been in the underground mine for so long that he was covered in dust.
"You're dirty, hold me tomorrow. You and Ling sleep together tonight, and I'll go get some old Chu to squeeze in." Lu Mingfei put the egg on the table and told Ling:
"This is something very important. Please keep an eye on it and don't let Eri take it to the kitchen to be used as fried rice this morning."
Although it is impossible to drill open the eggshell even with an electric drill.
"No way!" Eiry felt that she was being looked down upon. She had tasted ostrich eggs before, and they were not tasty at all. They were very fishy. It was obvious at a glance that such a big egg was not tasty.
Don’t add this kind of unpalatable egg to your five-meat fried rice!
"Haha, yes, yes~" Lu Mingfei smiled, took his backpack from the side, turned around and waved:
"Don't play too late. I'll get up early tomorrow and take you to the morning market."
Eri looked at his leaving back, her lips slightly pouted.
It was rare for the two of them to sleep in the same room. She had been secretly hoping that it would be like in the TV series, where they accidentally got into the wrong bed and picked up the wrong doll in the middle of the night. Now that her plan had gone down the drain, she naturally couldn't be happy.
Zero looked at her lost expression, pondered for two seconds, and came up with a solution, and quietly suggested:
"Then I'll leave?"
"No, Sakura said we should sleep together." When Eri heard that Ling wanted to leave, she refused to agree and shook her head like a rattle.
Now that Sakura is gone, she can't let Zero get away.
As she spoke, she suddenly leaned forward and hugged the petite and cold "three-no" girl like a dragon pouncing on its prey.
The princess, who always disliked physical contact, suddenly felt a soft warmth on her face:((Y(
Zero was a little confused.
She had only known Eri for a short time and didn't understand why she was so close to her.
She didn't hate it though.
She accepted Eri's hugs and rubs with an expressionless face. After a while, when she was about to say "Stop hugging me, let's play games for a while", she suddenly heard the girl's subconscious whisper, and she was stunned on the spot.
"Renata is so cute~ I've been wanting to hug her like this for a long time~"
Suddenly hearing the name that he had long abandoned coming out of Eiry's mouth, Ling subconsciously thought that Lu Mingfei had mentioned his past to Eiry.
But she quickly denied this speculation. Although Lu Mingfei seemed outspoken, he actually paid close attention to other people's privacy and would not easily tell others about the past of those around him.
Especially when it comes to a past as bitter as hers, Lu Mingfei would never mention it casually.
so……
"How do you know my previous name?" Ling asked softly.
Eiry was originally rubbing her cheek against Zero's hair, but the smile on her face suddenly froze when she heard that. It seemed as if she had accidentally said what was in her heart.
My brother said that you can’t tell others about what you dream about.
but……
If it's zero, there should be no problem, right?
She looked at the girl in front of her who was even more silent than she was, and thought of Sakura's unconditional trust in her. Finally, she quietly put her lips to Zero's ear and said softly like a breath:
“I saw it in my dream.
Sakura takes you and Aze... Let's go to the beach together."
After saying that, she looked around furtively and added in a low voice, "This is a secret, don't tell anyone else."
She looked so cautious, as if she would raise her little finger in the next second and ask Zero to make a pinky promise with her that they would never change for a hundred years.
Zero stared at her, his heart filled with turmoil.
She didn't understand why Eri dreamed about past events that had never been mentioned, and she didn't understand why she had to keep all of this a secret.
Could it be that Lu Mingfei let the secret slip and asked her to keep it a secret?
Or is there something else going on?
Zero didn't know, but she didn't ask any more questions in the end. She just met Eri's bright and expectant gaze and nodded slightly.
"I knew Zero was the best." Eiry smiled and hugged Zero like a doll.
Zero: ((Y(
…
"The Chu family's old house? Of course we have to go there!"
In front of a barbecue stall, Xia Mi, wearing the Shilan Middle School uniform and a pair of newly bought crystal sandals, held the barbecue skewers in one hand and a plastic cup in the other for Chu Zihang to pour Coke. Her posture was as heroic as the tiger-slaying hero Wu Song, who was drinking and eating meat in big mouthfuls and ready to go on duty tonight.
The customers eating barbecue around and the owner of the barbecue restaurant couldn't help but cast their eyes on this petite and cute girl who behaved like a big sister.
If I hadn't just seen them getting out of the black Maybach on the side of the road, anyone would have thought they were some street urchins from some alley.
But both of them have outstanding looks and extraordinary temperament, and there are no tattoos of hairtail fish or mantis shrimp on their bodies. Instead, they exude an indescribable sense of alienation and nobility.
That's why everyone knew that this was a young lady from a wealthy family who came out to experience the life of the city, so they just watched it for fun, and some curious people even made jokes.
"Hey, girl, you're going to look at the old house with me. Are you planning to get married?"
Xia Mi wasn't angry either. She turned around and looked at the man and asked, "Why, you want to contribute money?"
"Of course. If you really want to have a banquet and come over here to say hello, I promise to give you a big red envelope." The man patted his chest and laughed.
Upon hearing this, his companions at the same table stuffed the skewers into his mouth while laughing and complaining:
"Just save your money! Go eat your skewers. Even all that meat can't keep you craving. And don't you even look at what kind of car other people drive? You pedal a two-wheeled scooter to and from get off work all day, and you still get a big red envelope! One of their tires is worth half a year's salary!"
"So what?" The man, perhaps drunk, said with a red face, biting the skewer and arguing:
"What's wrong with riding a bicycle? Does riding a bicycle mean you're poor? Green travel is a response to the national call. Besides, cars can't drive into Yangjiao Hutong, where I live!"
These words drew laughter from the entire audience, and the atmosphere inside and outside the store was instantly filled with joy.
Xia Mi curled her lips and didn't say anything else. She turned her head to look at Chu Zihang and said in a softer voice, "Are you going to buy the house back?"
Chu Zihang nodded.
"Is the money enough?" Xia Mi asked. She sold her brother's remains to Lu Mingfei at a bargain price, and the money would be in her account within the next two days at the latest.
Although she didn't ask for the specific amount, he made a gesture of nine, which obviously would not be less than a small goal.
And he indicated that the settlement currency is the US dollar.
This income alone would allow Xia Mi and Xia Tian to directly join the ranks of financially independent rich people.
I can only say that Xia Tian is indeed a good brother. He always thinks about his sister both in life and in death.
Of course, Xia Mi also saved a lot of money by living frugally. For example, the cash she has available now is $3 million.
It was also thanks to the fact that no one completed the mission to find the seven deadly sins she had issued before, otherwise she would have lost $2.5 million.
However, if you can really exchange $2.5 million for the seven deadly sins, it would be a very profitable deal.
After all, the seven deadly sins are truly priceless treasures.
"No rush." Chu Zihang saw her confident look and knew that she had either made a windfall or... had already figured out how to make some ill-gotten gains.
But as a man, a capable and proud man, how could he be willing to let the girl he likes use her coffin to help him redeem his old house?
Xia Mi didn't notice his impolite inner thoughts. She just bit the skewers and said calmly:
"If you need anything, come to me. Don't always rely on Lu Mingfei for everything. He makes me look like a vase. I can't even protect you."
She might have felt guilty saying this before, but now she just wanted to pat her biceps and ask proudly, "Who else?!"
Even if Lu Mingfei wasn't present, she could still tease everyone present: "Hey, I'm not looking down on you, I'm saying that everyone here is a bitch!"
The words sounded domineering, but he didn't know if it was because Chu Zihang's database was really too polluted, but he felt like there was another meaning behind the words. He could only quickly drink the drink in the cup to calm his nerves: "Yeah."
Seeing this, Xia Mi paused in eating the skewers and looked at him with empty eyes:
"You're holding my cup."
Chu Zihang looked down and realized that Xia Mi had just finished drinking the Coke and handed him the cup to pour the drink, while his own cup was still placed next to it.
"Forget it." Xia Mi reached out and took the half-empty Coke in front of him, took a sip, and then gave him a slightly provocative smile:
"That's even now."
Chu Zihang's action of pouring the drink paused slightly.
He felt a little overwhelmed, she was really that good.
The interaction between the two was open and aboveboard, and the onlookers around them couldn't help but smile, obviously seeing themselves in their youth in the two.
Who hasn’t been young once? Who hasn’t had their heartbeats pound like drums at the slightest gesture of another?
After they finished their midnight snack in front of everyone and were about to go back, Chu Zihang asked Xia Mi whether they wanted to go home or go to the hotel together.
"Of course it's a hotel. Who would want to use a fan when there's air conditioning?" Xia Mi said as a matter of course.
In the past, she just didn't want to spend money on unnecessary things. Enjoying too much would make her feel guilty and sorry for Fenrir who was trapped in the Nibelungen.
But now... I've been poor for so many years, can't I enjoy myself?!
So the Maybach roared again into the night, heading towards the hotel.
It was already late at night and there were few people on the road.
In the presidential suite of the Regent Hotel, Su Enxi was typing away at her computer keyboard. Jiude Mai, wearing a black nightgown, stood by the window. Seeing a familiar Maybach passing below, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Still hanging out so late, it seems Her Highness the Dragon Lady and the cold-faced little white rabbit classmate are having a great time."
"Why, are you feeling romantic too?" Su Enxi didn't even raise her head.
"Are you kidding? Do I need it?" Jude Mai curled her lips. "Can't I get a boyfriend just by snapping my fingers?"
"Yeah, that's awesome." Su Enxi responded in a stern tone. It was obvious that she had been hit so many times that she was numb.
Didn't she want a handsome, gentle, and considerate boyfriend? But she was only eighteen, a recluse, socially anxious, and would say, "A nerd doesn't deserve a relationship."
Jiude Mai was too lazy to care about this useless potato chip. Her eyes followed the Maybach that disappeared at the end of the road, and she thought of the three-no who stayed at the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
Sure enough, sometimes sexiness may not be omnipotent.
Cuteness is the real killer.
After parking the car, Chu Zihang and Xia Mi took the elevator to the floor where the room was located.
At first, Xia Mi had her own luxury suite, but because of Fenrir's affairs she couldn't stay, so she gave it to Zero who came later.
Originally, Chu Zihang wanted to book a new room for her, but she said that it doesn't matter where you sleep, so she asked Chu Zihang to get used to the feeling of sleeping on the sofa in advance.
Chu Zihang was speechless.
Even though their relationship had not yet been confirmed, as his childhood sweetheart, Xia Mi naturally enjoyed the privilege of entering and leaving his room at any time and even staying overnight.
However, the moment the door opened, Xia Mi and Chu Zihang were both stunned.
Seeing Lu Mingfei sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding a game console in his hands, his hair still wet, Xia Mi immediately blurted out: "Why are you here?"
"Hey, you're back?" Lu Mingfei had already heard their footsteps. He raised his head and smiled harmlessly.
"I gave my bed to Ling, so I had to come and squeeze in with Lao Chu."
While chatting and laughing, he flicked his fingers and easily defeated his opponent with a series of moves. He threw the game console aside, shrugged and said:
"Oh, you're so leisurely and elegant, and you even went out for a barbecue. Why didn't you even think of packing some for me?"
He is the main C tonight, but Xia Mi didn't even prepare some thank-you gift for her benefactor. The old lady is a bit ignorant.
"Pack up? Packing up your head is more like giving you a packing!" Xia Mi hummed in her heart, but her face remained calm.
She looked around, didn't see Fenrir's cocoon, and gave him a questioning look.
"It's next door." He was worried about the safety, so he put Xia Tian in the kitchen. The most dangerous place is the safest place, and it just so happened that Eiry didn't like to go into places with a lot of oil smoke.
Seeing that the two did not come back hand in hand, Lu Mingfei was a little disappointed, but he did not intend to give up the room and fell directly onto the bed:
_(:з」∠)_
"So, are you guys planning to sleep together tonight?
Unfortunately, this bed has become stained with my scent."
He smiled at the two of them and shook the room card that had been between his fingers for some time:
"How about you two go to Yuan Xiaxianling's empty room and sleep there? I promise not to disturb you and I won't tell anyone."
"I want to beat you to death!" Xia Mi thought viciously in her heart, but her face remained calm.
In fact, she had not intended to take a step too far, but Lu Mingfei happened to interrupt her, so she simply went along with it, so as to avoid forcing herself on the man in a fit of impulse tonight.
So she raised her hand to catch the room card flying towards her, turned around and walked out the door:
"Forget it, let's leave it to you brothers to exchange feelings."
