Liu Feng smiled and waved his hand, gently passing over the little episode just now, "It's okay, our progress is indeed a little slow due to some reasons."

There was a hint of apology in his words, and he put the blame on himself, which instantly made the atmosphere relaxed.

After receiving Lu Xi's reminder, the two children immediately changed into well-behaved appearances and greeted Liu Feng in unison: "Good afternoon, Uncle Liu Feng, nice to meet you."

Although they said they were happy, both of them had standard and sweet smiles on their faces, which were completely acted out and not sincere at all.

The call of "Uncle Liu Feng" was like a pebble thrown accidentally, which caused ripples on the calm lake surface and unexpectedly dragged Lu Xi into the ripples.

She didn't know whether to look left or right between the two of them, and couldn't help laughing in her heart: When did these two little guys become so in sync?

The generation difference when calling him uncle was so obvious. The generation issue that I was still struggling with a few days ago was highlighted in this way at this moment.

Lu Xi knew very well that if it was based on age, calling Liu Feng "uncle" might be more appropriate, but she usually called Liu Feng brother. Although "Brother Feng" in her mouth was more of a respectful title, she still called him that.

Oh, forget it, Lu Xi, I think I’ve been thinking too much.

The two six or seven-year-olds in the family should call Liu Feng uncle. Even she herself, according to her age, should also call Liu Feng uncle together with Rong Yu.

So be it. Anyway, they are just colleagues now. In this world interwoven with various relationships, seniority is sometimes just a relative concept.

It doesn’t matter, let them be.

This was the first time that Liu Feng had seen the system, and also the first time that he had met Long Ruilin in such a formal way. The two children in front of him, who looked like dolls from a fairy tale, made him feel both novel and interesting.

He asked with a smile, his voice unconsciously becoming gentle, "You two little guys, have you eaten yet?"

His words were full of care from an elder and his eyes were full of love.

"I have eaten. Thank you uncle." I don't know if the system and Long Ruilin had telepathy or something, but they answered politely and in unison.

But there seemed to be a hint of awkwardness in the air, as if a carefully choreographed but slightly stiff conversation was taking place, just an awkward chat.

Seeing this, Lu Xi decided to break the awkwardness at the right time. She cleared her throat and got straight to the point: "Let's talk about business."

Her voice was firm and powerful, instantly drawing everyone's attention back to the reason why Liu Feng came.

"Okay." Liu Feng nodded in agreement. He also knew that now was not the time to chat.

So he handed a file bag to Lu Xi, then sat down on the single sofa next to him and began to explain the task in detail.

"Here are the general information of the people you need to pick up, including photos, identity information, etc. They are currently distributed in different locations. Ali already has the specific information. The remaining documents are to prove your identity. Just give them to them when the time comes."

Originally they planned to gather them in the beautiful country and then have the system bring them back together, but this would take a lot of time.

Fortunately, the system came up with a more efficient solution. They were willing to take on the task of picking people up and ensure their safe return no matter where they were, which saved us a lot of trouble.

At this point, Liu Feng paused, his face showing trust and admiration for the system's capabilities: "After discussion, we decided to entrust you two with full authority to handle this matter. After all, your ability and efficiency are obvious to everyone."

In fact, this ability and efficiency mainly refers to the system, and Lu Xi is just a by-product.

As for why the final decision-making power falls on Lu Xi, the reason is actually very simple - because of the contractual relationship between her and the system, the two of them are unable to make any decisions as they are too far apart.

Especially when faced with challenges like cross-border distances, it was beyond the scope of their contract, so they had to come together.

Lu Xi opened the thick file bag, quickly scanned the photos and names on several pieces of paper, and silently memorized them in her mind.

In fact, she originally wanted to put it in the hands of the system and give this important task directly to it, but Liu Feng was still there, so she had to restrain herself.

"Don't worry, since we have already communicated well, we can set off at any time and ensure that we can complete the mission smoothly."

Lu Xi's words revealed determination and confidence, which made Liu Feng couldn't help but look at her with admiration, although normally Lu Xi's character made them quite helpless.

But when he was working normally, he really admired Lu Xi's decisiveness and straightforwardness.

"Sure, but how long will it take? We're ready to pick you up anytime."

Lu Xi made a gesture to stop him, indicating that Liu Feng didn't need to think too much about the time issue, as this was their own problem.

"Don't worry about the time. We will bring them directly to the base and ensure their safety. Of course, our safety will not be a problem either. After all, Ali is in the master protection mode."

Time is not a problem at all. As long as they can find the person, knock him out and throw him onto the boat, their efficiency will immediately increase.

As for the documents proving the pick-up, we'll talk about it after they get to the base.

"Of course I trust you two 100 percent." Liu Feng nodded in agreement. It was precisely because of the system's "master protection mode" that the people above agreed to let Lu Xi go.

Otherwise, this group of people would not be so brave as to let such a huge treasure take risks.

Then Liu Feng turned his gaze to Long Ruilin, with a trace of concern in his eyes, "What about Long Long? Why don't you go to my office to play first, or let Rong Yu and Wang Lei help take care of him?"

Apart from Lu Xi and the system, the only people who were familiar with this child who came back with Lu Xi were Rong Yu, Wang Lei and a few others.

They still have to help take care of Lu Xi during this unknown mission period.

When Lu Xi heard that they were going to take Long Long away, she quickly shook her head and refused, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone, "No need, Long Long will go with us, no need to trouble you."

Are you kidding me? Without Longlong, who will drive the boat for them? Who will protect them from being struck by lightning?
