When the magic flower blooms

In the southeast corner of the greenhouse, in the comfortable rest area, the Wu family's helpers have arranged refreshments.After the host and guest exchanged greetings and sat down, Wu Feng gently placed the rose in his hand on the table.

"This rose is called Shezhi, and it is a new variety of rose produced in a small country in Southeast Asia. About half a year ago, our buyers at the Yunnan Flower Auction Center began to try to buy and sell this flower, and the sales were very good. You can enjoy it."

Lin Dejing, who was sitting next to Wu Feng, was not prepared to participate in this matter, and after appreciating it for a while, he handed the flowers to Ming Ruoxing directly.

Ming Ruoxing took the bouquet and began to observe carefully, and soon showed a clear expression.

"This flower is plump, large, and bright in color. It should be a high-quality flower material specially supplied to professional florists. Although the flower has not yet fully bloomed, there are varying degrees of corruption on the edges of the flower stalk and petals. It shows that this flower should have been stored in a refrigerated state for a period of time. This probably means that this rose itself should be a piece of evidence. So Mr. Wu hopes that we can witness and analyze it with our own eyes."

Having said that, he sent the petals to his nose again, closed his eyes and sniffed gently.

"Although I'm not a professional, I can still smell it. The fragrance of this flower is different from ordinary roses."

"Mr. Ming is right."

Wu Feng nodded and said: "This rose was airlifted to Yunnan four days ago. The smell is indeed an important suspicious point. But there is another more critical evidence, which is hidden on the petals of this flower."

"petal?"

The other party had already narrowed down the scope to the flowers, and Ming Ruoxing suddenly felt that if he couldn't find the crux of the problem, he would feel ashamed.

But no matter how carefully he observed, he still couldn't find Wu Feng's so-called "key evidence" except for the obviously unnatural sweet scent.

"……let me see."

Aware of Ming Ruoxing's embarrassment, He Tiansi leaned closer, supported the bud with one hand, and gently opened the outermost petals a little with his thumb.And soon important discoveries were made.

"Here...Look, is there something?"

Looking in the direction he pointed, Ming Ruoxing swore that he only saw a piece of bright red rose petals, other than that, there wasn't even a grain of pollen.

But the strange thing is that He Tiansi is more and more sure of his discovery.

"...It's a word!"

He pushed aside a few more petals, pointed to the petals that were clearly empty, and said loudly, "These petals are all written on them!!"

After hearing this answer, Wu Feng finally nodded in satisfaction.

The female secretary who had been standing beside Wu Feng took the rose from Ming Ruoxing's hand.Peel off the outermost petals and put them in a cardboard box.Then he took out a small black light from his pocket and shone it on the roses.

An incredible scene happened.Faint fluorescent spots appeared on the petals of the originally bright red Shezhi rose.Part of it is very clearly spelled out with several groups of Chinese characters and English letters.

"HELP... help me?" Ming Ruoxing recognized several glowing words, "What's going on?"

"We think it should have been put on with inferior skin care products."

Wu Feng explained: "One of the advantages of bee genes is that when I need it, I can directly observe the existence of ultraviolet rays with the naked eye. Although the color is different from what you see now, it is clear enough."

Having said that, he nodded to He Tiansi.

"It seems that Mr. He is also a demihuman with similar talent genes."

"...I also discovered it by accident." He Tiansi was not modest, he really didn't know what was going on with him.

Although Ming Ruoxing was also surprised, he knew that He Tiansi was not an ordinary demihuman, so he remained calm.

"So, the person who left the words on this rose should also be a demihuman?"

The Yunnan branch under Wu Feng began to purchase this kind of roses about half a year ago.The first time I discovered the secret of rose petals was nearly five months ago.

At the end of the year, the person in charge of the Yunnan branch came to the headquarters in S City to report to Wu Feng and the board of directors on a routine basis, and brought back a batch of flower varieties with the best performance from the branch that year for research and promotion as well as gifts .

On that day, Wu Feng's president's office and the floor where he was located were filled with flower art works using Shezhi as the main flower material.And it just so happened that Wu Feng found a rose with words written on it.

"In the beginning, the text on the petals didn't have any coherent meaning. It was just a single Chinese character, English letters and even graffiti. It looked as if someone was using the petals as a canvas to scribble randomly."

According to Wu Feng's recollection, besides the most basic and crooked Chinese characters, the first words that appeared on rose petals included English letters and some short but strange words that were not in English.After investigation, it was found that it was written in a small country in Southeast Asia, which happens to be the place of origin of the rose.

So the truth was gradually pieced together—far away in the rose garden where Shezhi was planted, there was a demihuman who might be learning to write, and smeared the petals with inferior skin care products.Because there are ordinary humans around him, he doesn't have to worry about his little secret being discovered.

Similar childhood experiences made Wu Feng a little bit interested in this strange "word rose".He took special care of his subordinates, and there was an additional inspection process for the Shezhi roses he bought, and all the roses with words were sent to him.

"We have found more than 40 text roses since then. From the content of the text, we can basically know that this is a seven-year-old Asian boy surnamed Wong. Judging from the surname, it is likely to be a descendant of local Chinese."

For Ming Ruoxing and He Tiansi who came to assist in the investigation, Wu Feng was very frank.

"Actually, I started planning a month ago and considered bringing the child back to China. However, the local political situation is unstable, the economy is backward, and child labor is very serious. In order to avoid high fines, many plantations not only refused They do not recognize the existence of child labor, and even kill children in extreme cases, destroying their bodies and leaving their traces. Therefore, we dare not act rashly unless it is absolutely necessary."

"I also don't recommend that you take casual actions."

Ming Ruoxing nodded in affirmation of his choice, "In Southeast Asia, Chimera activities are rampant. All the demi-humans who can escape have already fled, and the rest who cannot escape are also hidden. It must be hard to find."

"So that's why I came here for you."

Wu Feng took a deep breath, "I will be responsible for creating legal business identities for the two of you, and sending you to that country. Please help me find out the truth about Word Rose. If possible, please bring that child back. As for As for the immigration issue, my friend will take care of it."

Then, he quoted a generous remuneration price that far exceeded expectations.

But Ming Ruoxing hesitated.

"Let me ask one more question, is it worth paying such a large amount of money for a child you never know?"

Wu Feng laughed.

"Mr. Ming, you don't know my past. If the doctor more than 20 years ago hadn't risked his life to bring me out of the 'concentration camp' in Camera with my parents dead and seriously injured. Then I am now At best, it’s nothing more than a corpse specimen soaked in formalin.”

Ming Ruoxing was slightly startled by his words, and when he spoke again, his tone seemed to have softened.

"Please understand that I cannot give you an answer right away. If you can, give us a few hours to discuss."

Wu Feng nodded in agreement, Ming He and Lin Dejing stood up and said goodbye.

After leaving the greenhouse, Lin Dejing directly asked Ming Ruoxing: "Will you take this job?"

Ming Ruoxing also answered straightforwardly: "The price is indeed very attractive, but the risks can vary."

"Are you afraid of encountering Camera? As far as I know, that country is more peaceful than the surrounding areas. And they don't dare to touch the Chinese."

"If you don't meet it, it's zero percent. If you meet it, it's [-] percent white. I don't like gambling."

"...I think it's pretty good."

He Tiansi, who didn't know anything, suddenly interjected, "Didn't that Boss Wu also say that just now? It must not be the two of us fighting alone. He will hire bodyguards and equip us with a decent negotiating team. On the surface, we are An ordinary business team that used to negotiate. Besides, even if no one can be rescued, there is still a 50% commission."

"I only know money." Ming Ruoxing rolled his eyes at him, "If your life is gone, what's the use of asking for money?"

"But if the money is gone, life doesn't mean much."

He Tiansi still looked at him with a playful smile, "Besides, if a child can be saved, it is indeed a good thing."

"I know what you mean."

Ming Ruoxing sighed, "Let me investigate first, and then make the final decision."

-

For the next few hours, Ming Ruoxing did not just sit and let the heaven and man fight in his heart.He quickly screened out a few special people from his mind that he interacted with on weekdays, and started making phone calls.

Two hours later, the intelligence elements sent back from all sides gradually pieced together.

First of all, Southeast Asia is still a hotspot for activities organized by Cameroon.But it is not so much the organization's command center around the world as it is the last bunker.

The country where the Sherfat rose is grown is not the active country of Camera.This may be because the country's native subhuman population is extremely small and does not have the soil needed for the development of Camera.

And the Shezhi Rose Garden that Wu Feng is concerned about is an industry of ordinary human beings.There has never been any indication that it has operational or any other ties to the Camerian group in neighboring countries.The revenue and tax payment of the Rose Garden over the years have been normal, and it has even created employment opportunities for many local people.

Therefore, the trapped Little Asians can basically be regarded as ordinary child laborers.

Based on a comprehensive assessment, the risk of this operation is indeed low to medium level.

After repeated weighing and deliberation, Ming Ruoxing finally decided to accept.

-

Afterwards, Ming Ruoxing found out that just to find someone from the rose garden, Wu Feng was negotiating with five groups of people at the same time.And just before Ming Ruoxing nodded in agreement, three groups of people agreed to take over the case without hesitation.

But considering that among these people, only Ming Ruoxing was born in the Asian Security Bureau and has military-level actual combat experience.And He Tiansi is one of the rare people who can directly see ultraviolet rays, so Wu Feng finally chose their group.

Since the entire rescue operation has been planned for nearly a month, a lot of preparations have already been put in place.For the remaining three days, Ming Ruoxing and He Tiansi successfully completed their disguise, and that night they took Wu Feng's private plane and started this fantastic trip to Southeast Asia.

___________

Seriously, this was the first time that He Tiansi took a plane and went abroad since he lost his memory.

In He Tiansi's own words: "The first time the specification was so high, what can we do in the future?"

Ming Ruoxing was not in the mood to mess around with him—they were not traveling this time.Since you want to pretend to be a flower merchant, you have to look like a merchant.Although Wu Feng deliberately arranged for a company manager who is also Asian to act as an English translator, considering that there are not a few people in Southeast Asian countries who can speak Chinese, Ming Ruoxing decided to take advantage of the flight time to learn more about the industry.

In addition to the "English translator", there were also several sub-human security guards (almost all of them were of excellent bloodhound blood) disguised as accompanying members of the inspection team on board.and a regional representative who is familiar with business matters in Southeast Asia.

In addition to these people on the plane, they will join a team of ten people when they arrive at the local area.Two of them were Chinese tour guides hired locally, and the other eight were local bodyguards hired—of course, these people knew nothing about the true intentions of the delegation.

After several hours of flying.The flight finally arrived at the airport of the destination city Q when the sky was getting dark.

With the faint morning light, one can see the grayness on the vast skyline.The low-slung buildings with exposed concrete walls are in stark contrast to the surrounding lush green forests and the blue sea in the distance.

Half an hour later, the delegation walked out of the airport through the VIP passage.Boarded the vehicle that came to pick up the plane, and drove to the hotel where we stayed.

"I didn't say it, it's really hard to say here."

He Tiansi looked out through the car window and found that there were continuous low concrete and colored steel buildings outside, and it was almost impossible to see buildings with more than four floors.The streets are also full of dust, and from time to time you can see barefoot, ragged children playing in the streets.

But Ming Ruoxing didn't care about his exclamation at all.

"This is not the capital, nor is it a famous tourist city. Besides, Rome was not built in a day. Looking back in 50 years, it may be completely modernized."

"...it's also possible that it could get worse."

While they were chatting, a group of militiamen with long guns passed in front of them.It seems to silently remind everyone that this place may still be a crossroad between war and peace.
