Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"What are you doing? Why don't you let me do it? Can't I do more?"

Xiong Dabiao carried two large boxes of sweet potatoes angrily. It was only 8:30, and in just two and a half hours, Xiong Dabiao had already moved 30 boxes of sweet potatoes. Half of the work originally assigned to this group of people today had been completed.

"Xiong Dabiao, can you please stop? It's like this every time. I'll let you work for three or four days at most and then you can go back."

A team leader said, Xiong Dabiao still refused to let go, and immediately several people from Section 12 went over to pull Xiong Dabiao.

"Go up and have tea and play cards. Let's go."

The remaining petty criminals who were still digging sweet potatoes and packing them looked a little embarrassed, because once Xiong Dabiao left, they would not be able to get his help.

"That's pretty much it."

The team leader shook his head helplessly. Xiong Dabiao was a frequent visitor to Section 12. He often came here to work every three to five times throughout the year. Most of the time it was small fights. Moreover, he was a close friend of Niya, the chief of Section 5, and he was also a good person. He is generous and does not care about anything. Apart from his somewhat awkward personality, he is quite a nice person. Some people from the 12th Department even drank with him.

After Xiong Dabiao went to the second floor of a middle-boundary tower, he immediately saw a director of Section 12 sitting on it, and he got closer.

"Did Gait say anything to you?"

Xiong Dabiao scratched his head, picked up the kettle and drank.

"Speaking of nonsense, I think he is just an ordinary person."

The director in front of him also sighed helplessly.

"The people in Section 2 are just a little nervous. Forget it, since it is a task, you should continue to observe carefully. I will pass the temporary report. You can rest for a while before continuing to contact her."

Xiong Dabiao lay comfortably on the sofa, took out the remaining 10 eggs and started eating.

"Would you like some wine?"

As the director said, he took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet. Xiong Dabiao took it and unscrewed the lid and started drinking.

"But there is one thing that makes me feel suspicious. When he is alone, that guy will talk to himself from time to time. I think there is something wrong with this situation."

Xiong Dabiao said, and the director laughed.

"He is also a doctor of mental illness. Many people who work in this field may have some psychological problems."

"It's not like this. It just feels like I'm talking to someone, and it's very secret."

The director in front of him looked suspicious, sitting next to Xiong Dabiao, and slapped his strong and thick arm.

"Isn't that a mental problem?"

Xiong Dabiao didn't know how to describe it, and he couldn't care less, so he continued to drink.

Located in a large corn shack, Olivia held up a finger and kept putting boxes of corn on the truck. She followed Xiong Dabiao's instructions and helped Song Ying a little. When moving the boxes, he deliberately used a little telekinesis that was not noticed by others to help her, so Song Ying completed more than half of her morning workload.

"I've done enough, it's time to rest!"

Olivia asked, and several men from Section 12 gathered around, looking like they wanted to strike up a conversation. Olivia ignored them, just opened the truck door and sat in the passenger seat. Open the door on the other side and let the cool air flow.

Olivia has been observing Song Ying these days, and has basically found no clues. Apart from knowing that she is a coquettish woman, she has not discovered anything else.

But Olivia and Niya had the same considerations. Where did Gate and Song Ying go during the months when they disappeared? The files were kidnapped, and it was indeed people from the administrative department who rescued them later. However, the prisoner has not been caught so far, and the confessions given by the two are also very vague. Both said they were locked up in the basement, and they knew nothing except someone delivering food every day.

Olivia, who has been in the middle and lower classes all year round, naturally knows that there used to be people who specialized in kidnapping to make money, but after the introduction of strict laws, almost no criminals dared to do this industry anymore. The risk was too high. , once caught, all relevant persons, including family members, will be expelled unconditionally.

The two were kidnapped five years ago. According to Olivia's knowledge, the kidnappings five years ago have almost disappeared. Now the 113 S-class mutants of Lightning Skull are investigating the matter on a large scale at the bottom.

There is indeed something surging in the city recently, and Olivia doesn't want to see the situation like that night again.

Lightning Skull mainly takes over the escort work of some congressmen. The price is reasonable and it is easy. Especially during congressman elections, a lot of problems often arise, so hiring an S-class mutant is far more expensive than hiring a dozen B-class or several Class A is much more cost-effective.

Coupled with the Mutant Relegation Examination every three years, their Lightning Skull Guild can always shine in the exams. Those examiners in the business department are no match for them at all. Their reputation has naturally increased. This investigation , without any remuneration, everyone helped unconditionally out of friendship for Niya, and many people gave up their jobs.

"That idiot is really lucky. He has a rich family, many friends, and a qualified teacher!"

Olivia couldn't help but smile when she thought about the past, when they were young, fighting and dominating at the bottom, and often misbehaving.

But one day a man came over and wanted to take Niya away. As a result, they all came together, and each one of them was left standing, completely beaten and unable to get up.

"If you dare to behave like this again, I will kill all of you next time."

Olivia still remembered Gene's threat, which was very effective. Since then, everyone has restrained themselves a little and found ways to quit hallucinogens. A lot of people have become more honest, and this is how they have a bright future.

At this time, Olivia stared sharply at Song Ying, who was lying on the muddy ground, and began to talk to herself like this again, whispering something. Occasionally, her lips could be seen moving, but such movements had unclear meaning. , Olivia couldn't tell what Song Ying was saying, it didn't sound like a certain word, but more like a certain tone.

Olivia has used micro vision and can clearly see the obvious rise and fall of Song Ying's throat. She can be sure that there is something wrong with this woman, because such a move can be seen once every few hours.

Olivia kept counting, and it was exactly 3 minutes. There were 16 rhythm changes in total, 6 of which were repeated. This was more like some kind of secret electricity, and it looked very weird now.

At this time, Olivia got out of the truck and walked towards the Middle Realm Tower. She planned to report what she saw to the waiting director of Section 12, and then pass it on to Section 2.

"What are you doing, Gene? It's not even nine o'clock yet."

Jewell stared at Jean with some dissatisfaction. Although there was a problem in the hotel manor, all the employees who were not taken away today were still working normally as usual. After all, there were still booked guests in the hotel, but some started this morning. All reservations from guests who wanted to stay at the Resort Manor Hotel were turned down.

"Eat first, then go surfing after eating."

Lu Xi looked at Jewell happily. After all, he wanted Jewell to teach him how to surf yesterday, but something happened suddenly. But he can have fun starting today.

Jewell worked on documents until after 3 a.m. last night before taking a break. He originally came here with a playful attitude, but in the end he had to start working.

A table of delicious dishes had been served, and Jewell started eating. Gene looked at some tourists who were still having fun outside.

"If you want to take advantage of this opportunity, you can play for a few more days."

"What do you mean Gene!"

Jewell seemed to realize something, and Ran Zai sighed.

"The old man plans to sell this place to cash out, including the two companies on the upper level."

Lu Xi stood up in surprise.

"If this place is sold"

"It should be a private gathering place and will not be open to the public."

Ran Zai immediately thought of who the buyer would be. Businessmen would generally not buy. After all, the maintenance fees for the facilities here and the maintenance fees for the manor were not cheap. If the price and grade were lowered, it would indeed be possible. The flow of people will increase, but labor costs and equipment costs will continue to increase.

Even if it needs to be renovated, the remodeling will be a big expense.

After eating, Gene stood by the window and looked at everything in front of him. He clearly remembered how this ancient manor came to be. Since the city was established more than a hundred years ago, three generations of the Phoebus family have been here. Little by little, land was reclaimed and houses were built. Jean could clearly remember all the changes before his eyes.

In the past, Jean would often bring some friends here to play. At that time, the place was open to the public because the construction had not yet been completed, but the former friends disappeared one by one.

"Just have fun for a few days. How about visiting all the places?"

Jean said and Jewel sighed.

"I'll just stay with you Jean."

Ran Zai looked quietly at Jean, who was leaning on the window with his arm. His back looked a little lonely, and he looked a little lonely.

"This is the price!"

Ran Zai said casually, and Jewell stared at Jean suspiciously, but said nothing, and Jean smiled slightly.

"What's the price? In fact, it's quite good. I can see young people embracing the future again and again. This scenery is very beautiful. Only I am qualified to see it!"

"What do you mean grandpa?"

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Locke's tone was cold and his eyes were resolute, turning his back to his grandson Ronnie and granddaughter Feili, who had already begun to cry.

"I'll leave this matter to you, Ronnie. Do it well. In a few days, the buyer will send someone over to do the accounting. You can start taking the things that need to be taken away to the lower level."

"I can't accept it, grandpa, is this the hard work of our family? This manor belongs to us."

Locke didn't say anything, turned around and walked to his two grandchildren with a slight smile.

"What does the future look like? I may not be able to see it, but you can!"
