At the same time, Lawrence arrived.
He handed Huai Shi two photographs.
"What is this?" Huai Shi restrained the urge of his twitching eyelids, inspecting the photographs in his hand, "Who are these two people?"
"You don’t need to know, but it concerns the safety and interests of the hybrid mainland of the entire Yingzhou, no, the entire Current Circumstances—once you trace these two people, you need to report immediately. If verified, Green Day will not be stingy with any rewards or commendations."
Lawrence extinguished his cigarette and spoke concisely, "No matter what happens, Huai Shi, this is something you must accomplish as a member of Green Day, the importance of which I don’t need to stress further, do I?"
"... I probably, understand."
Huai Shi tried to restrain his abnormality, showing only curiosity and confusion as if unrelated, raising the photo in his left hand, "Who is this?"
Lawrence irritably took out a pack of cigarettes, lit another one, and told him, "God City Future, a madman."
"What about this one?"
Huai Shi raised the photo in his right hand, pointing to the man with a flamboyant smile, "And who is this? The Cowherd who offended the five big bosses?"
In the silence, Lawrence’s expression suddenly became complicated, "This is a dangerous character, Huai, the more you know, the worse it is for you. This has nothing to do with you, just telling you to be prepared for contingencies."
"More than that, this is today’s highlight."
He placed a heavy box in front of Huai Shi, "This is originally the share of the Tiger King Group, we fought for it, and it’s handed over to you—have a good rest, tomorrow at the banquet I’ll introduce you to a few reliable people."
After leaving behind a box of alchemical precious metals that pass through all borders, Lawrence turned around and left in a hurry.
In the silence, Huai Shi raised his palm and swept over the box, confirming there were no monitoring devices, instructed Takuma to place it in the safe, and returned to his bedroom at present in Huaizhi Corporation.
Finally, he lowered his head and looked at the photo in his hand.
He squinted his eyes, carefully discerning, trying to find any difference from the person in his memory, but finally discovered that the guy in the photo looked exactly like that idiot Liu DongLi!
"Damn it, why?"
He could only risk activating his phone, trying to dial his number, but it went unanswered for a long time, and the guy’s social media had stopped updating half a month ago.
Calling, no answer.
Sending a message, no reply.
In the silence, he lowered his head, scrutinized the two photos side by side on the table, feeling like there were one hundred thousand small questions in the minds of one hundred thousand small friends.
In the silence, Huai Shi closed his eyes and softly asked, "Ai Qing, did you see it all?"
"Yes."
The woman on the other end, who seemed to be online at all times, answered, "I saw it all."
"Is there something you’re hiding from me?"
"Are you referring to Liu DongLi being raised by Green Day’s Great Commander, the agreement previously signed between Green Day and the Jurisdiction Bureau, and that he’s been missing ever since he escaped the Astronomical Society’s surveillance?"
Ai Qing calmly and straightforwardly answered, "Yes."
