Chapter 89 [Revised] A Victory He held it with both hands and touched it, it was cold...
To Yu Chen, Heinz's words could not be fully trusted.
Heinz is a cabinet civil servant. Since ancient times, the Western civil service system has maintained a tradition of political neutrality. They do not form parties, do not change terms, and keep a certain distance from the ruling party. Even if they are at the core of power, they always adhere to one principle:
Responsible only for national policies, not for the monarch.
This is why Heinz could betray Cade without any hesitation, because he served the regime, not just Cade as an emperor.
This brings up a problem.
Civil servants like Heinz don't care which emperor sits on the throne. Compared with the emperor's future, they were more concerned about whether fiscal cuts would result in two fewer meat dishes in the civil servants' canteen.
Therefore, Heinz would only pick out the parts that were beneficial to him and pass on the news. The information will not be false, but it will definitely be processed and reserved.
Yu Chen had dealt with this group of civil servants for many years and understood their temperaments.
He studied the message carefully, trying to determine its authenticity. Thirty seconds later, he made a quick decision to let the aircraft, which was about to land, hover in the air for a while and wait for the ground personnel to check the situation on the apron before landing.
Isuparaiso had experienced too many assassinations in his life, too many to count.
Spies from the Federation, assassins from the Duke's Mansion, radical elements from the opposition party... People say that one has walked more roads than one has eaten salt. In Yu Chen's case, he has been assassinated more frequently than he has swum.
This kind of assassination did not stop even after the old empire collapsed and he retreated to the second line.
Yu Chen can grow vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse, but he cannot rely on this to truly live a secluded pastoral life. The meat, alcohol, and medicine he consumed might have been mixed with all kinds of strange poisons.
Cade would also give him a little poison from time to time, a very small amount that could be metabolized in ten minutes. The purpose was not to take his life, but just to vent some dissatisfaction and disgust.
Yu Chen never takes these things to heart.
Firstly, his excellent kidneys can perfectly metabolize almost all poisons on the market. He felt no pain or itching after eating something poisonous.
Although after the birds came to build nests, the food inspection in the bedroom suddenly became ten times stricter. Everything he allowed Bai Ling to eat had been repeatedly tested for poison.
Secondly, after a person has suffered all kinds of hardships and learned that it is difficult for him to die, he will inevitably develop a numb mentality.
Yu Chen glanced at the time and looked out the porthole.
They have already landed, and are surrounded by a circle of explosion-proof bodyguards, all on high alert. The hatch will slowly open only after Gorgon's security team has cleared all suspicious targets along the way.
In Yu Chen's arms, Bai Ling rubbed his forehead, opened his gray eyes, and asked in a daze: "What time is it?"
Yu Chen said calmly, "It's still a quarter to one in the afternoon."
Bai Ling sat up suddenly. Wasn't his first game in 40 minutes?
It seems like there is enough time, but you have to go through security and then take a drug test when you get in. He had an IV drip today, and had to go to the organizing committee to explain the whole thing and hand over the certificate issued by the hospital.
He stood up, his cashmere coat falling from his back, and when he looked back, he instantly regained his usual coldness, "I have to go."
Yu Chen picked up the coat and put it on his shoulders again, "I'll go in with you."
The cabin door opened and a cool breeze blew from the tarmac, lifting the corners of his coat. The white-collar worker subconsciously moved closer to Yu Chen and handed his hot hand to the mermaid who was only wearing a thin black shirt.
Cold-blooded animals are not afraid of cold.
But Bai Ling couldn't help wanting to give it.
But then he frowned and glanced at the heavily guarded bionic people and mercenaries, "Is there such a big scene today?"
Yu Chen explained lightly, "Something happened in the finals before, so we have to increase security. And I'm one of the main sponsors of the competition, and I might even have to go on stage to present awards, so of course I have to give them enough pomp and circumstance."
Bai Ling's eyes lit up as he caught the key words: "Award ceremony."
Yu Chen smiled: "Yeah."
Walking in the VIP channel, the bottom of the snow-white wall is painted green to symbolize safety. There is no heating here, and there is only a cold camera rotating overhead.
Bai Ling exhaled a breath, which turned into wisps of white mist. He leaned forward with his arms folded, and the shadows of the two people under his feet changed in length and length depending on the angle of refraction of the light. He looked at the shadows for a while, then suddenly raised his face and said:
"Sponsors, let's negotiate."
"you say."
"If I win the championship, can you personally present the award to me? Hold the Grand Slam trophy in my hand, and personally give me that ugly fake flower bouquet."
Yu Chen said without hesitation: "No problem."
Bai Ling's eyes were full of smiles: "You are so easy to talk to, you can agree to anything. I will borrow a visor from the captain later, and you can wear it when you go up, I guarantee that no one will recognize you."
Walk out of the sparsely populated passage and officially enter the security check area. Noisy voices echoed under the towering ceiling. The bodyguards who had been following silently behind him now alertly formed a circle.
Yu Chen's intuition told him that this would attract attention and make him more of a target.
But there are too many people here and there are too many eyes. There is no better way than to form a human wall.
The security inspector reminded: "The front is the inner field, only staff and contestants are allowed to enter. Others please use the normal security check channel, thank you."
The bodyguards had to separate from them temporarily.
The crowd blocked the security checkpoint and passed through the inspection arch one by one. Bai Ling was unaware and walked ahead.
Yu Chen saw him standing there alone, looking at him and waving through the door, and his heart couldn't help but tighten inexplicably.
He was afraid that the bird would be left alone, and even more afraid that it would get hurt.
Ever since the Woodpile Bird's identity was revealed, his concerns have grown.
"Hey, sir, you don't look like a contestant, you can't go in--" The security inspector saw a brilliant golden light flashing before his eyes, was stunned for a second, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
Yu Chen held the ID card between two fingers and swiped it on the machine. The machine issued a reminder: "Ding! Sponsor representative, welcome, welcome."
The security guard fell silent immediately, bowed quickly, and let the sponsor of the grand contest in.
Bai Ling watched him walk towards him with steady and quick steps. The black veil covering his face was slightly blown by the wind, revealing his tense jaw.
What is he nervous about?
This thought flashed through Bai Ling's mind. While he was thinking, the mermaid had already put her arms around his waist, inadvertently half-covering him with her body.
Not far from them was the place where they had bought milk before.
"Would you like something to drink? I'll treat you this time. Coffee, juice, or milk?"
The moment Bai Ling lowered his eyes, he saw the back of the mermaid's hand with bulging veins. He held it with both hands and touched it. It felt cold, not like a real person.
"It's better to drink it hot." Bai Ling made up his mind before he could speak.
The floor of the venue needs to be kept clean at all times, and the eating and drinking areas are the hardest hit by spills. The nanny-type sweeping robot is running all the time, and its mechanical voice shouts: "Please make a detour, please make a detour."
Yu Chen took another look at it, then silently walked around it with Bai Ling.
Bai Ling looked at the mermaid in surprise. He always felt that the mermaid was a little... paranoid?
But he still bought two glasses of milk, one full-fat milk for himself and one with milkshake for Yu Chen. Old people should eat some sweets to avoid over-straining their brain nerves.
Yu Chen snatched his small paper cup and took a sip.
"Please take a detour, please take a detour." The sweeping robot came nearby.
Yu Chen carefully used his taste buds to break down the components of the milk and determined that it was made from milk powder. Apart from that, he did not taste any other "additives".
Yes, it's safe.
Yu Chen was about to hand it back to Bai Ling. At this moment, a strange intuition surged up, like the last second alertness of a wild animal before stepping into a trap. His muscles were tensed to the extreme, and his developed vision and hearing allowed him to judge the direction of the bullet with just his peripheral vision.
He could have easily avoided it.
But behind him, there stood a fluttering bird.
If he dodged like a coward, the bullet of unknown composition would pierce Bai Ling.
Yu Chen made the judgment in just 0.01 seconds.
The paper cup in his hand shook slightly, and the milk flowed out from the edge, flowing down his blue finger bones, drop by drop, splashing light flowers on the smooth marble floor.
"Please move aside, please move aside, stains have been detected and cleaning is in progress." The sweeping robot gently bumped into his heel.
With his eyes lowered, he exhaled softly, slowed down, and took another deep breath.
When he raised his eyes again, they were filled with tenderness as usual, "After you finish drinking, go and compete well. I'll wait for you to win."
It was an ultra-silent bullet, one of the most concealed and difficult to guard against assassination weapons today.
But it did not hit Bai Ling as predicted, but penetrated into his internal organs from the back, and fortunately, got stuck between his ribs.
No harm was caused to the bird.
Bai Ling sniffed and vaguely smelled a hint of blood. But the smell was so faint and weak amidst the scent of detergent all over the floor that it disappeared almost instantly.
He finished drinking the milk, hooked his arms around the mermaid's neck, and kissed her gloomy cheek through the veil, gently and cherishingly.
"Wait till I return with honor, King."
He didn't notice the momentary spasm of Yu Chen's mouth, so he said goodbye to the mermaid and strode towards the contestant area.
She stared at his back, her breathing stagnant for a few seconds. When she slowly turned around, she had regained her usual restraint and control. He snapped his fingers and gestured to the bodyguards who came over.
Clear the scene and arrest.
Soon, the well-trained sniper was brought in front of him.
The other party had obviously anticipated this and came with the mentality of being killed. He swallowed the poison right after firing the gun. The man had an ordinary appearance, his body was tied up and he was crawling at his feet.
"I don't know anything. I just took the money to do the job. Don't bother questioning me."
The man looked fearless, but when he saw no sound above his head, he looked up unconsciously. At this glance, he saw a pair of cold and evil vertical pupils, and the terrifying feeling as if he was being crawled by the scales of a demon from hell made his heart and soul tremble, and he screamed in fear with his mouth open.
Yu Chen smiled and asked, "Does your client want you to kill me, or the person next to me?"
The man trembled, shook his head and dared not speak.
Yu Chen lowered his eyes and slowly turned the ring: "Even if a person is dead, his memory can be retrieved."
The man suddenly recalled many horrific brain-stealing scenes, which flashed before his eyes like a kaleidoscope. His eyes were bloodshot as he shouted, "Devil, I'm going to kill you!"
His words confirmed Yu Chen's guess.
Yu Chen breathed in slightly, the corners of his mouth smoothed out, and he returned to calm from his tense state.
Ah...it's me.
It turns out that I was the one who was going to be killed.
Instead, he felt relieved.
