The Prodigal Son Reborn

When Wu Zhe went out, Lance was smiling happily, as if he had heard something particularly interesting.

Lance and Wu Zhe quickly exchanged glances, then got up and entered the control room.

He stayed inside for about 5 minutes, and when he came out again, he said that he had already contacted Bai Ke, and the meeting place was at the small cafe behind the Global Daily.The coffee shop is designated by the public. Although it is very close to the Global Daily, the location is remote, and it is almost impossible to meet acquaintances.

The Honor 3000X stopped when it was a whole street away from the cafe.

Five people got off the spaceship one after another.

Lance's face is too recognizable, and there is no mecha maker right now, so he can only barely cover it with a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Even so, a few people are very eye-catching walking on the street.Not long after, people gathered in twos and threes on both sides of the bustling street and pointed at them.

Zhang Li lowered his head in depression, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up, everyone. If you enter the alley, there will be fewer people."

A group of people hurried into the 3-meter-wide alley, and looking back, those curious people were gone, as if they were shielded by an invisible thing.

Zhuoma was very excited, like a happy little husky along the way, walking lightly and freely, "We are surrounded by crowds! We seem to be stars!"

Wu Zhe gave him a disgusted look, and muttered something in his throat.

Zhuoma didn't notice Wu Zhe's expression at all, and was still very excited: "The coffee in the quiet time is delicious! The taste is very pure! I like the cappuccino there the most!"

Zhang Li smiled and looked around while walking.

This is the backside of the Global Daily Building. Contrary to the majestic and majestic scenery on the front of the building, this place does not receive sunlight all year round, and is dark and humid.There is a rain shield on the top of the alley, and there are still many traces left by the rain on the ground.

Lance looked around, "There will be a cafe in this kind of place?" He wondered if he had been deceived by that Omega named Bai Ke.

Chen Qie looked around warily, his whole body strength was at the critical point of explosion, as long as there was an abnormal situation, he could immediately fight back with all his strength!

Zhuoma's interest is still very high, "Just in front, about 20 meters away, this place was opened by my father and father together. There was no cafe before!"

"Your father owns the cafe?"

"Yes, but there are few people here, and there is basically no business every day."

"..." Lance looked at the narrow, dark and terrifying passage, his brows twitched. Most people would never come to this kind of place.

Zhang Li asked softly, "How long has the cafe been open?"

"Half a year."

"No wonder..." It's not closed yet.Lance added darkly.

After walking a few steps, they came to the so-called tranquil time coffee shop.

This is a coffee shop completely embedded in the wall, with a facade of only 1 meter wide and 2 meters high. If it weren't for the fact that the door is open at the moment, Zhang Li is sure that even if they pass by this place, there will be no abnormality.

The four stood still.

Dolma stepped on it with half of her foot, turned her head and saw that they were still motionless, and hurriedly said, "Come in quickly, father is in the store today!"

Lance and the others looked at each other, and finally bit the bullet and stepped in.

When the last person walked into the door, the entrance and exit disappeared immediately, and there was no trace of its existence from the outside.

If you look at it from a traditional perspective, this is definitely not like a coffee shop, but more like a cozy little home.

The area of ​​the coffee shop is only 40 square meters. The whole space is divided into three areas by small wooden fences, an unusually low bar, a small round table, and a toilet.The overall layout of the coffee shop is elegant and comfortable. The light gray floor tiles, the wallpaper printed with light blue flowers, and the dimly lit orange desk lamp in the corner all reflect the unique attitude and taste of the owner.

Seeing all this, Lance's vigilance has been unknowingly lowered a lot. He always feels that the person who can arrange such a room should not belong to the cabinet.

Dolma enthusiastically invited them to sit around the round table, "Father is in the toilet, he will come out soon. Do you like cake? My father also made it, it is very delicious!"

Both Chen Qie and Wu Zhe were sullen and nervous; Lance was busy looking around and didn't speak; so Zhang Li naturally took on the role of diplomat.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we just had lunch and are not hungry yet."

"Ah? What a pity." Dolma's smile dimmed for a while, and soon she said cheerfully: "But it's okay, I'll pack it for you, and take it back to eat when you leave."

After speaking, he happily ran to the fresh-keeping cabinet and began to pack small cakes for everyone.

The sound of flushing came from the bathroom, and the four of them all stared at the wooden door vigilantly.

The wooden door opened, and the first thing that appeared in front of them was the wheels of the wheelchair.

Lance and the others couldn't help being surprised.Sitting in a wheelchair is an Alpha in his 50s, with gray temples, a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a very kind smile.He was obviously a little surprised when he saw Lance and the others, but he quickly recovered, "I heard from the child's father that you are very interested in that booklet?"

Hearing this, Lance quickly recovered, "Yes, we plan to ask your lover to help make a more beautiful photo album."

The wheelchair sent Alpha to the back of the bar, and he ground the coffee beans skillfully and gracefully, "You should know who my lover is, right?"

"know."

"Then you still dare to come here? Are you not afraid that this is a trap?"

Lance raised his eyebrows, "Even if this is a trap, it can't trap us. Among the four of us, there are not only the first-generation controller of Silver X, but also the developer of the space jump path design. It is simply impossible to return to the palace from this place in an instant." easy."

"Hahaha, I'm really confident." Alpha put the coffee bean powder into the bean maker, "Then how are you sure that I will definitely help?"

"intuition."

"A straightforward young man." Alpha said with a smile: "I used to be the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, and I can be called the top of ten thousand people."

Lance's expression suddenly became serious.

Zhang Li even quickly searched for the information of the previous cabinet deputy prime ministers in his mind.By the way, he remembered that a deputy prime minister disappeared for no reason 5 years ago. At that time, he was still young and didn't pay special attention to this matter. Now it seems that there is something else hidden at the beginning?

Sure enough, Alpha said calmly, "Your guess is correct, I am the one who disappeared five years ago, Ye Yuanying."

Lance frowned, "Since you have disappeared, why are you here?"

Ye Yuanying paused for a moment, "It's nothing but a victim of political struggle. Does coffee need creamer and sugar cubes?"

Lance was silent for a moment, "Two spoonfuls of creamer, one cube of sugar."

Wu Zhe: "I am the same as him."

Zhang Li: "A spoonful of creamer, a cube of sugar."

Chen Qie: "Bitter coffee."

Ye Yuanying unhurriedly added up the things they needed with tweezers and put them in a small porcelain dish, then handed them to Zhuoma, "Give it to the guests."

"Hey!" Dolma picked up the tray and sent it over carefully.

Ye Yuanying brought a cup of coffee herself and came to the small round table.

Without the cover of other things, Lance could see clearly that his lower body was actually a high paraplegia!

Seemingly noticing Lance's surprised gaze, Ye Yuanying smiled, and carelessly said: "At the beginning, I found out that I had become disabled, and I really couldn't accept it psychologically. Fortunately, my child's father and Dolma were with me." I."

Zhang Li's eyes lingered between Ye Yuanying and Zhuoma, and the father and son had no other similarities except for the classification of race.

Ye Yuanying seemed to want to distract Dolma, "Go downstairs and get the photos that your father treasured."

Lance asked in surprise, "Downstairs?"

"Oh, you may not know that I was originally a senior mech maker."

"No wonder..." Lance sighed softly.

After Zhuoma left, Ye Yuanying took a sip of coffee, "After I was injured, they were the father and son who took me in."

In other words, Zhuoma is not Ye Yuanying's biological son?No wonder it doesn't look like it at all.Zhang Li said, "The person who hurt you should be Locke, right?"

Ye Yuanying's actions paused, but he didn't say a word, which was regarded as tacit consent.

"Since you know that Locke is by no means a good thing, why do you allow Bai Ke to continue to serve in the Global Daily? Isn't it clear that you are sending yourself to the tiger's mouth?"

Ye Yuanying seemed to be poked at the pain point, the hand holding the coffee cup suddenly tightened, and after a long time, she put down the cup and said softly, "Bai Jian also has difficulties."

"What's the reason?"

"He wants to..." Ye Yuanying raised her head slowly, her eyes under the lens were glowing, as if full of hatred, but also with the pleasure of revenge, "Collect evidence of crimes committed by the cabinet and join the imperial party."

"..." The four of Lance were shocked.
