The second day…
Ma Tao was suffocated by the trumpet and woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Su Lanxi's pretty face, who was still sleeping soundly.
Gently removing her arm from around his waist, Ma Tao hurried to the bathroom.
Su Lanxi was already awake when she came back, maybe she had just woken up by herself.
Ma Tao looked at Su Lanxi's jade body that looked like water and lotus. His eyes that were still a little sleepy lit up. He slipped out and got back into bed again.
"Hiss~" Maybe he drank too much yesterday. This big move made Ma Tao's head hurt so much that he groaned involuntarily.
"You have a headache? Who told you to drink so much yesterday?" Su Lanxi ignored him and went to get dressed as soon as he got up. His perfect figure was immediately covered.
Ma Tao massaged his temples with his hands, but he really had no energy to speak.
"I'll get you something to eat." As he spoke, Su Lanxi had already dressed, glanced at Ma Tao lying on the bed and said with a smile.
Ma Tao's head was still hurting and he didn't say anything. He nodded in agreement.
Su Lanxi glanced at him again, then opened the door and went out, but then came back again, pushing a small dining cart in her hand.
"What?" Ma Tao looked at her and asked again.
"The maid at Xiao Jinzi's house has put breakfast at the door. I think it must have been there a long time ago. Get up and eat something." Su Lanxi pushed the dining cart to the bedside and opened the lid. Inside was food such as porridge and eggs. .
"Are all rich people enjoying themselves like this? That little gold is no longer being fed by the maid." Ma Tao rolled his eyes and grinned, pretending to be envious.
"You are envious. Come, let me feed you." Su Lanxi was already very familiar with Ma Tao and definitely understood Ma Tao's temperament. When she saw him like that, she pursed her lips and smiled, then sat directly by the bed and started feeding him with a spoon. Ma Tao took a bite of porridge.
After all, he was at someone else's house. It was not good to be seen. Ma Tao ate something and felt that his head didn't hurt so much. After cleaning up, he quickly got up and took his own things with him, mainly weapons and identity cards. Others It's nothing.
After leaving the room, Ma Tao met Yue'er. This girl must have gotten up early, but she didn't disturb anyone.
Ma Tao looked at Xiao Jinzi's room and could vaguely hear snoring. He shook his head helplessly and looked at the two girls.
"Let's go first. Xiao Jinzi hasn't been back for a long time, so let him stay with his parents for a while." Su Lanxi whispered when she saw Ma Tao observing the door of Xiao Jinzi's room.
Ma Tao nodded, and the three of them quietly went down the stairs.
"Are you leaving? The young master hasn't woken up yet. Do you need me to call him?" At the door of the corridor, a nanny who was cleaning happened to meet Ma Tao and the other three, and she hurriedly put down the sweeping and other tools in her hands. ask.
"No, he drank too much last night. Let him have a good rest. Let's go first." Ma Tao waved his hand, stopping the nanny's idea of waking up Xiao Jinzi.
The aunt nodded and stepped aside, leaving the middle of the corridor open. This situation made Ma Tao sigh with emotion. The etiquette of wealthy families is so strict and harsh.
After going downstairs, Ma Tao and the others met the housekeeper they met last time.
"How did you three sleep last night? Master and Madam are inviting you." It seemed that the housekeeper wanted to wait for them here. As soon as he saw them coming down the stairs, he walked up to them and said hello.
"I drank too much last night, so I'm a bit presumptuous to disturb you." Although this is Xiao Jinzi's home, and Xiao Jinzi brought him in, it is not Ma Tao's home after all. He stayed overnight without going through Xiao Jinzi's parents, which somewhat made Ma Tao a little uncomfortable. Sorry.
"It's okay, please come with me." I don't know if all butlers are the same rigid. The butler in front of me said with an expressionless face and then went to lead the way. He was really like a robot.
We came to the big tea table from last time, where Xiao Jinzi’s parents were enjoying morning tea.
"Excuse me, Commissioner Kim." Ma Tao smiled when he saw him again.
Ma Tao doesn't care about what happened last time. Ma Tao, who worked in the past, has experienced many more embarrassing things than this. He has been tempered by society and can face it with a smile no matter how difficult it is. He doesn't even have any temper, and he doesn't dare to have one. He doesn't know Such habits are good or bad in this world.
"How can this be considered an intrusion? I didn't expect that after we haven't seen each other for a few days, my son has already become a glory hunter following you. It seems that I have a good vision. Please sit down!" Xiao Jinzi's father smiled when he saw Ma Tao and the others coming. Put down the tea cups and ask Ma Tao and the others to sit down.
There was a maid on the side who also served refreshments to each of the three of them.
"It seems that Mr. Jin already knows what happened to us yesterday." Ma Tao sat down in front of the tea table, while Su Lanxi and the girl Yue'er sat beside him.
"How could I not pay attention to the man who destroyed the water monster, paid off the water monster, blew up Noah's factory, owned two chariots, and helped my son vent his anger," said Jinbao's father.
"You all know this?" Ma Tao was a little surprised, but then he thought about it. He is a member of the Standing Committee. He must know about these things in Seoul as soon as possible. After all, the killing of the water ghost should be a big event for Seoul. .
"Jinbao can achieve such an achievement today. To be honest, we are very grateful to you, but I heard that you are going north?" Xiao Jinzi's father then asked tentatively.
"Commissioner Jin is really very knowledgeable," Ma Tao said with a smile.
The cooperation with Qian Santai had not yet been deployed, but the standing committee member already knew about it. Ma Tao believed that this was definitely not a requirement for his work, but that he and others were being monitored as soon as they entered the city.
"Don't be surprised if you love your son, but..." Xiao Jinzi's father replied apologetically, but his words were sudden.
"You hope that we won't bring little gold with us on this adventure north? But, I'm sorry, I can't guarantee this, let alone help you." Ma Tao smiled apologetically, reached out to take the tea cup handed by the servant, and blew gently He blew on the hot air and took a sip.
"You also have to be a parent one day. I believe you don't want to see your child have an accident, right?" Xiao Jinzi's mother, a lady still dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked at Ma Tao pleadingly.
"I said I can't help you because I am not Xiao Jinzi, and he must make his own decision. What I said does not represent Xiao Jinzi's attitude," Ma Tao said, putting down his tea cup.
"Don't worry about this. We will advise him. I just hope you will keep silent." Xiao Jinzi's father then looked at the girl Yue'er next to Ma Tao and signaled Jin Mu with his eyes.
Seeing her husband's hint, Xiao Jinzi's mother lowered her head and took out a document from under the table. Then, the housekeeper took it and placed it in front of Yue'er.
"This..." The girl Yue'er was stunned. She didn't expect that this thing was for her.
"What does this mean?" Ma Tao looked at Xiao Jinzi's parents in confusion.
Su Lanxi and Yue'er have been silent, but judging from the expression of Xiao Jinzi's father looking at Yue'er just now, the things here should be related to Yue'er.
"Inside this is a Seoul house deed, a permanent house of about 90 square meters, and an empty identification card with 2000G in it. We know that you plan to place this girl in Seoul. As long as you agree to us, you can get these. Come on, our Jin family also guarantees that this girl will live very freely in Seoul from now on," Xiao Jinzi's mother said.
"You installed a monitor on Xiao Jinzi's watch?" Ma Tao didn't look at the bag of things but stood up and looked at Xiao Jinzi's father.
"Please forgive me. We are also considering Jinbao's safety. We have to admit that you are a very good captain. During the factory battle, you were attacked by the water ghost and stayed calm in the face of danger. You were calm, decisive, careful, cautious, and courageous. But we don’t want anything to happen to Xiao Jinzi. The life of a bounty hunter is too dangerous. You should just pity the parents in the world and fulfill the wishes and expectations of a parent..." Xiao Jinzi’s father turned his head and closed his mouth after speaking. On the eyes.
Ma Tao stood up and the anger he originally had because of being monitored was silenced by Xiao Jinzi's father's words. What they said was reasonable and reasonable, and they also gave him something. They were sincere. Ma Tao, who was frozen there, really didn't know. How to answer the call.
"Give us fifteen days to be alone and don't disturb us. If we can't convince Jinbao, it may be our fate. No matter what the ending is, we will never take back the things here." Xiao Jinzi's mother looked at the three of them. He clasped his hands together and looked at Ma Tao with a pleading expression, looking like a loving mother.
"I agree~" With a long sigh, Ma Tao reached for the document bag and turned around to leave.
Su Lanxi and the girl Yue'er on the side looked at Ma Tao striding away and quickly stood up, gave Xiao Jinzi's parents a slight salute, and followed Ma Tao's footsteps out.
Ma Tao admitted that he is not a noble person, he is just an ordinary person. He also loves money, but a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way. He neither stole nor robbed the things given by the Jin family, let alone Asking him to do something that violates moral laws is just to keep them silent for 15 days. In this case, why should Ma Tao not do it?
After leaving Jin's house, Su Lanxi and Yue'er remained silent and followed Ma Tao silently.
"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking?" When they didn't speak, Ma Tao couldn't stand it anymore and turned to look at them.
"Are we just going to abandon Xiao Jinzi?" Su Lanxi looked at Ma Tao and asked.
"Haha" Ma Tao laughed first, then looked at them and said, "Do you all think I am a villain who betrays my teammates?"
Seeing that the two women looked at him without saying a word, I guessed that this must be what they were thinking.
Ma Tao continued, "Since you are a teammate, you have to trust him. We cannot solve this kind of thing at all. When it comes to making choices between family and friendship, none of us can answer for Xiao Jinzi. In this case, why don't I Let nature take its course, I’ve let nature take its course, why not be more free and easy?”
"But what should Xiao Jinzi do when he finds out?" Su Lanxi thought for a while and asked
"When he can make a choice, he has already thought about the outcome. No matter what the outcome is, even if he is persuaded by his parents or chooses to continue walking with us into the unknown, the final choice still depends on his own answer." Ma Tao looked towards the morning The newborn sun seemed to have a hint of worry in his eyes, but he didn't show it.
"Those things?" Su Lanxi looked at Yue'er beside him.
Ma Tao threw the document bag directly to the girl Yue'er without any nostalgia.
"I've given it all to you. After we leave, you have to live a good life," Ma Tao said
"I can't ask for so much. Besides, you gave me a lot before..." The girl Yue'er didn't want it, so she wanted to return the document bag in her hand to Ma Tao as she spoke.
"Just keep it. I don't know when we will meet again in the future. With Ma Tao here, we believe it will be better in the future." Su Lanxi quickly held the girl's hand and said to her.
"Thank you..." The girl Yue'er's eyes were a little moist.
"Don't think so much, let's go and see your new home. If we have a chance in the future, we will visit you again," Ma Tao clapped his hands and said happily.
If the sensation continues like this, Ma Tao will be infected by it.
The girl Yue'er nodded, opened the file bag, flipped through it for a while, and said, "No. 1018, South District."
"South District 1018?..." Su Lanxi thought for a moment and then said, "Seoul Elementary School happens to be in the South District. Let's go check it out later?"
"Okay! I'll go see Yue'er's new house later, and then I'll go see the children." Ma Tao agreed with Su Lanxi's proposal.
Walking along Central Street, there are more and more people in the morning. The Central Square has begun to show signs of being crowded. No matter when and where, the big market like a vegetable market is always so popular.
The South District of Seoul should belong to the old city, because the teleportation center is located in the South District. Ma Tao frowned as he looked at the merchant warriors who had started queuing up so early to wait for the teleportation.
If Qian Santai wants to go out of town, why doesn't he use a teleportation device?
Thinking of this problem, Ma Tao suddenly stopped at the door of the teleportation center.
"What's wrong? I remembered that black man again." Su Lanxi saw him stop at the door of the teleportation center and thought he was remembering what happened that day again.
"Brother, where can this teleportation device send people?" Ma Tao did not answer Su Lanxi but turned to ask a bounty hunter who was also queuing up with a knife on his back.
"Have you never used it before? First of all, you need to know where you are going, that is, the places you have been to. If you have not been to other villages and towns and have no coordinates, it is all in vain." The bounty hunter carrying a knife went up and down. I took a look at Ma Tao.
After the guy finished speaking, he looked at the two women next to Ma Tao. When he saw Su Lanxi, he was stunned. After a while, his laughter started to flow down. This guy was still stunned and didn't notice.
"Alas!" Ma Tao hit him with his hand, interrupting his daze, and then asked, "Can we leave Seoul?"
"Are you annoying? I'm looking at the beauty!" The bounty hunter, who was carrying a knife, was looking at Su Lanxi in a daze, and was very dissatisfied when Ma Tao interrupted him.
"What are you talking about! Leave..." Suddenly the bounty hunter carrying a knife suddenly looked at Ma Tao. Then he seemed to have thought of something, glanced around secretly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have the coordinates of the equipment number when you go out?" ?”
"No," Ma Tao answered him directly.
"Tch!" The hunter carrying the knife was overjoyed and exhaled through his nose, "Why would I do that if you didn't say it? If I had the coordinates or the serial number of the transmission device, I would have become famous by now."
"Then where are you going?" When Ma Tao couldn't recognize Seoul, his heart dropped. At least it proved that Qian Santai had no conspiracy.
"Of course we are going to the villages and towns around Seoul. You don't know this? Are you from Seoul?" The hunter carrying the knife looked at Ma Tao suspiciously.
If it weren't for the real flesh and blood of the man in front of him, he might have thought that Ma Tao was a simulation machine sent in by Noah.
"Excuse me? It's true that I'm not a native of Seoul, but also from another small village. I'm laughing at you." Ma Tao chuckled to resolve the embarrassment.
"What do I mean? Which village are you from?" The bounty hunter carrying a knife took a few steps forward because of the movement of the team, and Ma Tao quickly followed suit and took a few steps forward.
"Nado Village" Ma Tao replied
The people at the back saw that Ma Tao was not here to jump in the queue to teleport, or even to ask some questions and ignored him. They were all looking at Su Lanxi, but no one left the team.
If you give up waiting in line for a woman, if you get pouted by a beautiful woman later, you will have to wait in line again. The mistake is not a mistake.
"That multi-village? I've never heard of it. Isn't it small? It's not on a transportation hub?" The hunter carrying the knife thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, surrounded by mountains on three sides, not many people go there." Ma Tao nodded and then asked, "Then why are you teleporting back and forth in these villages?"
"Alas." When the hunter carrying the knife heard Ma Tao's question, he couldn't help sighing and said, "Some of them are here to transport supplies, and some are here for weapons and equipment. Those who come here to use teleportation are all poor people who are really capable. They all have tanks. Equip the fax in the tank, and you can go wherever you want. For someone like me, if you encounter an octopus tank outside, it will kill you, so you can only go to a safer village to earn money. "little money"
"I see." When Ma Tao heard him talking about the chariot, he smiled inwardly and said nothing. After thanking this buddy, Ma Tao turned around and returned to Su Lanxi and his two daughters.
"What were you talking about just now?" Su Lanxi saw that he was finally back.
"Nothing, I just asked about the transmission device."
"We found the house in the document." Su Lanxi suddenly shook the document bag in his hand as if he was taking credit.
"So fast!" Ma Tao turned around after hearing this.
"We are not idle. We asked some old men over there. They are all permanent residents of Seoul. They have almost occupied the seats." Su Lanxi held the girl Yue'er's hand with a happy face.
"Then what are you waiting for? The key is inside, go directly!" Ma Tao waved his hand and signaled to leave quickly.
"You know there is a key here?" Su Lanxi said, holding the document bag in his hand.
"Of course, I just touched it," Ma Tao replied.
Several people talked, left the transmission center and went to look for the house in the file.
After Ma Tao and the others left, a thin figure in the crowd who had always turned his back to them slowly turned around and looked at the direction where Ma Tao and the others left with a strange smile.
"Beautiful lady! I didn't expect to meet again so soon. You can't run away this time."
If Ma Tao were still here, he would know him. This person is the Kemoer that Ma Tao has been thinking about. At this time, this guy's ugly appearance is even more terrifying. One eye seems to have been pinched by something. , completely blind, and now a terrifying hole has been formed there, and the scars around it are even more disgusting.
