Sharge and Baizhu turned their eyes away at the same time. They were not surprised. Instead, Lingena sighed in defeat.
In order to save their lives, part of the information would of course be withheld, and they would have to be spoken out at a critical moment to survive for a while. The two of them were just putting on a show, trying to get something out of them.
"Do you know where all these goods have been shipped?" Baizhu approached and squatted beside the cell. "Tell me about it, kids. Maybe your information will save all of your lives."
"You have to swear that you will let the five of us go! No, let the four of them go now, and I will stay! Otherwise, you will never know this secret!"
Lilia sat up, her hair covered with fine hay leaves, and glared at Bai Zhu.
"Are you negotiating terms with me?"
Bai Zhu chuckled, seeming to find it very interesting:
"But this condition is not good. How about this. I drag those three people out of the water prison. If you don't tell me, I will kill one of them in front of you. If you don't tell me, I will continue to kill him. What do you think?"
Lilia was so angry that her pale face was flushed with blood: "You are shameless!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Bai Zhu raised his eyebrows, "But those three people are too far away. Let's start with the person next to you. Gong Ling, cut her belly open and bleed. This kid can tell you when to save her."
"Yes." Gong Ling drew his knife and stepped forward.
Lilia remembered that this black knife could easily cut even the carapace of an alien, let alone the soft belly of a human being.
"You also think that knife is good?" Bai Zhu explained kindly, "That knife is called [Yusha]. It is made from the wings of an alien dragonfly. Blood will not stick to the knife, and it cuts iron like mud. Blood falls on the knife. The noodles look like raindrops that have been cut and broken, hence the name."
The blood on Lilia's face faded, and she became gray and haggard again.
Bai Zhu smiled and held up his chin, gently tapped his cheek with his black-gloved fingers, and said patiently:
"So, do you want to say it or not?"
Gong Ling pulled up Ling Gena, who turned around and shouted: "Lilia, don't tell them! They are just a bunch of beasts, and they can't keep their promises. Even if you tell her -"
The roar stopped suddenly, Gong Ling punched Lingena to the ground, and raised the [Rain Brake] with one hand to chop it down.
"No! I said! I said!"
Lilia screamed to stop: "In Agate River! They transported all the medicines to the city of Agate River! I used to count the medicine storage in the warehouse with my father, and heard the person in charge of transportation talking about the skyscrapers at the delivery location. And the revolving restaurant, close to the Agate River, is a city-wide building! I remember it clearly!"
Gong Ling stopped, sheathed the knife and stepped back.
"How wonderful this is," Bai Zhu sighed, stood up and looked down at her, "Good boy, in my place, only by being obedient can you survive."
Lilia nodded tremblingly.
"Give them something to eat."
After Bai Zhu finished speaking, he left with Sharge.
"Boss," Gong Ling, who followed after leaving the dungeon, asked, "Will these people stay?"
"Keep it." It was much colder outside than the dungeon. Bai Zhu folded his coat, "First let them write down the formula they know, and then prepare [Alice]. Then give the sample to our researchers, and do our best to destroy it." Alice] A drug that reverses the efficacy of the drug was developed.”
"Yes." Gong Ling left.
Nicks, who was guarding the entrance to the dungeon, lowered his head slightly: "Boss, Mr. Xia."
Although he stood here to show off, he could not stop Sharger.
"Go back and rest," Bai Zhu patted his shoulder as he passed by, "recharge your batteries, we will return tomorrow."
"Leave tomorrow..." Sharger sighed after listening to the conversation, "I knew it was a pretense for you to come back to celebrate the New Year with me. You also said you wanted to cook, but now you can't even watch the New Year's Eve kitchen show. "
Bai Zhu clicked his tongue: "I already said it was a problem with the range hood and the ingredients, not my cooking skills."
Xia Fan pushed open the villa door first, and Baizhu stepped in. The heater dispelled the cold.
She took off her coat, rolled up her shirt sleeves slightly, relaxed and lay down on the sofa:
"I left Dudu here. She was taught by me step by step. She is very talented in the research of bomb weapons and can barely do it on her own. When daybreak, I will tell her all the points to note in the new drawings, so that she can do it for her. I arrange, inspect and perfect the production line.
"But Dudu has a bad temper, is too out of touch, and is very rude to outsiders. Jiujiu will stay and take care of her. But if you really get into trouble with those old guys, for my sake Go up, but protect the point eccentrically.
"I will step up research on new materials. After all, we also have a relatively complete weapons production line and research base in Yichen. The venue and equipment are not a problem. I will tell you as soon as there is progress. If there are results, we will send them back for production as soon as possible.
"I will contact the Li family over there in Yicheng as soon as possible, but I heard that he is a playboy and the mastermind behind the biggest fraud case in the inner city in the past twenty years [DreamWorks], but the empire has no evidence to arrest him. Of course, that is I don’t dare to take it out if I have it, after all, it’s the Li family, and my father is the vice president of the parliament.”
After she said so much, Sharge sat down and put the coat on the back of the single sofa. Xia Fan made a cup of coffee and hot cocoa, put them on the table and left silently.
"You need to be trustworthy in business, but you should also be careful to prevent others from trying to trick you."
"A monk who can run away can't run away from the temple." Bai Shu put his arms across his eyes and laughed. "If he lies to me, I will blow up all his properties, including the Li family's property in the inner city."
She knew exactly where the loopholes in the inner city's protection were.
The speaker of the parliament is now thinking about how to get rid of the deputy speaker of the Li family who is worried about his position. If Bai Shu really wants to play this way, the Li family's vitality will be severely damaged and they will be eaten alive, and revenge will not be launched in time.
"The snipe and the clam are competing for the fisherman's profit, so don't play too crazy. But you must be careful when you go to a city this time."
At this point, Bai Zhu lowered his arm that was blocking his eyes: "What news do you have?"
"Not really, but..."
Sherge lowered his eyes and patted the leather sofa beside him, as if he was just chatting:
"I used a batch of mahogany furniture a long time ago. The red wood is a pure color from the inside out. The material is very hard and not easy to break. It is very practical to use."
"But now, for some reasons, many so-called mahogany furniture are only painted with a layer of paint on the outside, but the inside is white, or glued with wood slag. I couldn't find high-quality products, so I had to use sofas instead.
"I'm not worried that the chair will turn into ordinary wood. I'm just worried that this white wood slag chair will be painted with a layer of red paint and change its quality. People still have to lie to me and say: The red color of this wood is always the same and it is very authentic."
"You're going around in circles again."
Bai Shu slumped on the sofa, closed his eyes and sighed: "Now it's just the two of us, and we are still on our own territory. Just tell me, I don't want to play brainteasers with you."
Sherge shook his head helplessly.
He propped up his forehead and looked at the huge country map hanging on the wall of the living room. The occupied areas were specially painted in gray, and war zone camps and so on were marked, as well as some notes on military operations.
It was drawn by Bai Zhu before. Sharger thought it was very meaningful and wanted to come over and hang it here.
"The empire is no longer the original empire. The war has lasted for ten years, and the situation has undergone new changes. Now that it has finally entered the recovery period, many forces are ready to take the opportunity to stir up trouble, including the official parliament and opposition parties.
"The deputy speaker's intention to take over the parliament is also obvious. This can be seen from the fact that he allowed his son to participate in the arms business. The military is now divided into the Lin faction in the inner city and Major General Bai Lingyu in the outer city. The new faction headed by the former is responsible for defense, while the latter is responsible for attacking... Speaking of this, Major General Bai seems to be promoted to lieutenant general soon."
Seeing that Bai Shu was unmoved and didn't even respond at all, Sharge gave up extending the topic and continued:
"So I want to say that the outer city is in chaos now, and it will be even more chaotic in the future. Even the battles in the inner city will take place in one city. We are now in the limelight in the outer city, and you are an agent on the surface, trying to win over Those who will kill you are everywhere, so be careful.
"Besides that, and this is what I want to say the most: the inner and outer cities have been experiencing rifts over the past decade, and they are growing. You have to be prepared to deal with this situation."
Bai Shu suddenly opened his eyes: "Do you think the inner and outer cities will break off diplomatic relations and confront each other?"
"I didn't say that," Sharger said with a slight smile, "but as soon as the war started to stop, the city's private arms orders surged. Since the guns are not aimed at aliens, there is only one possibility."
Aim for the same kind.
Bai Shu stood up and sat cross-legged on the sofa: "The new sect will not allow this to happen."
"You are trying to say that Major General Bai will not allow it. After all, he is also very good at people's livelihood policies. He has also snatched the city management power from the parliament. The inspection team will have to make a living in his hands."
Sharger said: "But after entering the cultivation period, the wars have decreased. Who knows if the parliament has the idea of [birds disappearing and bows hide], even if it is not that serious, they will definitely find ways to reduce their power.
"This matter is also easy to judge - we will know if Major General Bai can be promoted normally at the beginning of next year. If not, it will prove that what I said is right.
"Although the alien tide has subsided, the war is far from over."
Bai Shu frowned, bowed his head and said nothing.
Because she was lean and thin, her collarbone and neck were very clear. Sitting quietly like this, she looked somewhat elegant.
It’s not easy to drink alcohol in the early morning, so Sharger picked up the hot cocoa prepared by Xia Fan and took a sip:
"Major General Bai..."
Bai Shu was lost in thought when he heard the voice and instinctively tilted his head towards Sharg. However, he forcibly stopped the movement in the middle, which was quite abrupt and unnatural.
Sharger was amused in his heart and pinched his eyebrows to cheer up:
"I know you found something at the beginning, but after all, there is no direct evidence and the logical chain is incomplete. You know this better than I do. You haven't seen him for so many years because you are probably afraid that the truth is not what you want. To put it bluntly, escape.
"But father and daughter are father and daughter. Not to mention the aid you have given to the army over the years and the anonymous disaster relief donations. Just say that you left Cheng Youyue in Yicheng when you came back this time. You clearly gave her tacit permission to go back with you. Contact Major General Bai."
Bai Zhu said stubbornly: "I didn't."
"Yes, yes, you didn't, 'It's just the two of us now, and we are still on our own territory.' You insist on telling the truth." Sharger returned the original words, laughed muffledly, and then smiled like a sigh, "Go and take a look. Your father, he must miss you very much during the Chinese New Year."
"I thought you wanted me to stay during New Year's Day," Bai Shu clicked his tongue, "You've been making trouble for a long time just to drive me away, but it turns out that the smell is far away but smelly at the same time."
Sharger didn't say anything. He was indeed a bit old, with gray hair on his temples and a thin body. He was in poor health in his early years and is now declining prematurely. The New Year is approaching, and his words seem to have softened a little with this special festival:
"I want you to stay too."
There is no elder who doesn't want his children to spend more time with him during the New Year, let alone him who is a loner.
Bai Shu paused. She originally planned to leave for Yicheng tomorrow. The sooner she could start tracking down [Alice], the better. But now that the Chinese New Year was mentioned, she felt that it would be okay if it was later: "Then I will stay during the Chinese New Year..."
"Need not."
Sharger shook his head gently and declined Wen Sheng.
"Go and see Major General Bai. This year is very special. Once the fighting stops, he will definitely miss you more when he is free.
"Most importantly, you must miss him too."
He paused, his eyes were soft, and a smile appeared on his lips:
"I sincerely hope that you will be happy, my child."
Bai Shu opened his mouth: "I..."
Sharge bent down, took out an exquisite long mahogany box from the drawer under the table, handed it to Bai Shu, and gave the blessings of his elders:
"Look, your New Year's gift."
Bai Shu calmed down his emotions and opened the long box: "Is this... arm armor?"
There is a silver-white arm armor inside the box. It is shiny, very thin, and light in the hand.
The arm armor is low-profile to carry, the damage is controllable, and it is well compatible with unarmed combat techniques. It is not even a controlled item and can directly parry short knives and daggers.
But this one is obviously more special.
"What material is this made of?"
Bai Shu clasped it on his left arm. It was just the right size, "Could it be...the unusual wings of that silver butterfly?"
That was the time when Baizhu broke into other people's homes and disturbed their mating and childbirth.
Special grade special shaped silver butterfly.
The wings are extremely light, but because their structure is very nano-advantageous, it is extremely hard, but has a flexible and flexible structure every short distance, allowing the silver butterfly to flap its wings and fly.
Although he was seriously injured, he managed to get some souvenirs.
It was given to Sharge, who was rarely angry, and he expected him to be short-handed. Unfortunately, it failed, and Baizhu was criticized for the first time.
"Yes, it will become a handicraft if left alone, why not use it to make a weapon for you.
"Actually, I was thinking about this two years ago, but the technology was not up to standard at the time. Later, when I looked through your research notes, I found a record about [the special toughness of silver butterfly wings], so I analyzed the butterfly wings according to the anatomical diagram you drew. A cut was made.
"But because the technicians are unskilled, most of the products fail. It would be great if one can succeed... Xiao Shu, what's wrong with you?"
Realizing that Bai Shu had been staring at the armband without speaking, Sharge paused for a moment: "Is there any problem?"
"No, there isn't."
Bai Zhu turned his armband and his eyes gradually brightened: "Where are the discarded and remaining materials?"
"These are all scraps. They should be in the waste pile of the research laboratory... What are you going to do?"
"Go dig through the trash can!"
Bai Shu pulled up his coat and threw it on casually, and ran towards the research room in large strides.
