Huo Yushen said: "Of course they are not fools."
"Because the position of Executive Vice President also has many restrictions, and one can never be promoted to nobility."
"With this restriction, there are almost no people willing to be the permanent vice-president of the lower house of the Senate."
"If there is one, everyone would wish that he would be welded to death in this position during his lifetime."
Xia Chujian was amazed and said, "Then this Teng Kexin's rise to power in the Senate must be closely related to his position as Executive Vice President and his Teng's Restaurant, right?"
Huo Yushen said, "Of course. Who wouldn't be friends with any council member who wants to eat at Teng's restaurant?"
"He is also a very personable person, kind to others, generous and capable."
"How could the senators not like such a good and non-competitive person?"
Xia Chujian chuckled and said, "It's a good thing that Teng Pingmao committed suicide long ago. Otherwise, in time, he would have become another Teng Kexin!"
"Believe it or not, this position of Executive Vice President of the Lower House of the Senate will become a hereditary position for the Teng family!"
Huo Yushen nodded and said, "If Teng Pingmao doesn't die, then he will definitely follow Teng Kexin's path."
"In another twenty years, Teng Kexin will be seventy and will have to retire."
"Teng Pingmao is only under fifty, in the prime of his life."
"Isn't this just a continuation of one generation after another?"
Xia Chujian said dissatisfiedly: "He got such a good deal!"
"Teng Kexin definitely has more than one illegitimate child."
"Perhaps he already has an illegitimate child serving as a senator in the lower house of the Senate."
"And that crappy restaurant of his, what can one eat to prolong life?! - Is it the longevity flying fish?"
Xia Chujian was just cursing and complaining, but after saying this, she suddenly shut up and looked up at Huo Yushen.
Huo Yushen's eyes moved slightly, and he thought of something.
Xia Chujian said as if waking from a dream, "Back then on Planet Morizawa, the Wanshou Flying Fish were hunted to extinction by the Empire!"
"The Longevity Flying Fish is said to have the effect of prolonging life!"
"And Teng Pingmao's military achievement was on Senze Star, where he traded his Star Marines with the local Shang people in exchange for the Wanshou Flying Fish!"
Huo Yushen nodded slowly and said, "That ties it all together."
"If we're not mistaken, then Teng Kexin's Teng's Restaurant probably started out by using longevity flying fish as its main food, serving it to the wealthy and powerful."
"However, there is one particularly suspicious point."
Xia Chujian listened with great interest and said quickly, "What's suspicious about it? I think the whole logic makes perfect sense!"
Huo Yushen said: "As far as I know, the ingredient of Wanshou Flying Fish is not unique to Teng's Restaurant."
"Other high-end restaurants in the Beichen Star Capital also offer Wanshou Flying Fish."
“The prices are also very expensive.”
"One bite of fish can cost as much as an apartment in a first-tier city."
“Only the top elites can afford it.”
"But I've never heard that it has the effect of prolonging life."
"Don't you find it strange?"
Xia Chujian nodded and said, "It's indeed strange."
"So why is the Longevity Flying Fish served at Teng's Restaurant so mysterious and has the effect of prolonging life?"
"Other restaurants also offer the longevity flying fish, but they don't have this effect..."
"Have those restaurants never thought about finding out the secrets of Teng's Restaurant?"
Huo Yushen said, "Of course they did. But as you said, Teng's restaurant's menu, not even pictures of the dishes, have ever appeared on Starnet. This shows that they have done a very good job of keeping it secret. No one must have found out."
“But this still needs to be verified.”
"Because the ingredients provided by Teng's Restaurant are Wanshou Flying Fish, this is our guess."
"Until it is confirmed, we cannot jump to conclusions."
"Perhaps the food they provide that can prolong life is something else, not the longevity flying fish."
Xia Chujian nodded: "Okay, let's keep it in doubt for now."
"So now, should we go find this Teng Pinghai, the current Teng Hai?"
"Tsk tsk, these two Teng and Teng look very similar!"
Huo Yushen said humorously: "Maybe he doesn't want to forget his roots even after changing his name..."
Xia Chujian burst out laughing.
…
The small bat fighter quickly set its destination and made a space jump in space.
Fifteen minutes later, we returned to the sky above Mulan City on Guiyuan Star.
After breaking through the stealth layer below the atmosphere, Xia Chujian switched the small bat fighter into a conventional civilian aircraft and parked it at high altitude.
She and Huo Yushen jumped down from the mecha and flew to a terrace of a high-rise building in the central business district of Mulan City.
This is where my aunt Xia Yuanfang’s studio is located.
Xia Chujian asked Xia Yuanfang to buy this commercial housing when the real estate in Mulan City was the cheapest.
Now the housing prices in Mulan City have increased by almost fifty times. Even if this commercial property is rented out for rent, the Xia family will make a lot of money.
However, Xia Yuanfang and his companions left in a hurry and the place was not cleaned up, so it is still vacant.
Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen settled on the terrace outside the studio, and then entered the small pergola next to the terrace.
When the doors and windows of this small shed are closed, it becomes a hidden space, from which you can directly enter the studio inside.
The two of them entered the studio from here and changed their appearance inside.
Of course, you have to wear a human face mask, and then wear a standard bounty hunter outfit.
