The bell rang for a while, but Annie still didn't come out to open the door. Zhang Yuanqing walked out of the bedroom and opened the security door himself.
Standing outside the door was a seven or eight-year-old boy with big eyes and delicate features. He was a rather cute boy.
This is the landlord's child.
He was holding a food box in his right hand and an aluminum can in his left hand, with the words "Iron Goddess of Mercy" written on the can.
"Hello, uncle!" the little boy called politely.
"It's brother, not uncle, call me again." Zhang Yuanqing corrected.
"Hello, brother!" Zhang Yuanqing admired the little boy's awareness of current affairs. He nodded with satisfaction and asked:
"What's up?"
The little boy lowered his head to look at the food box and said crisply: "Afternoon tea, my mother asked me to bring it over, and there are tea leaves."
Zhang Yuanqing got out of the way and said, "Come in."
He led the little boy inside, took the food box and placed it on the coffee table. He opened the lid and found a plate of pastries and a plate of red glutinous rice balls in the double-layered food box.
"Tangyuan?"
"No, it's just the candy."
What is sugar buns? Zhang Yuanqing took out the cakes and sugar buns and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Cao Chao, and my English name is Robin." the little boy said.
?Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and he held back a sentence for a long time: "What a good name. Well, I'm talking about the Chinese name. Who gave it to you?"
"dad."
"Does your dad like to watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
"How do you know?" Cao Chao's face was full of surprise.
I also know that my father must like Cao Cao very much. I hope that what he appreciates is Cao Cao's majestic talent and strategy.
The sweet and glutinous rice aroma reverberates through the taste buds.
Surprisingly delicious.
He opened the aluminum can again and smelled it. The aroma of tea was fragrant, and the quality of Tieguanyin was pretty good.
This should be a return gift from the landlady. After all, the new tenant gave the money so readily. He paid half a year's rent directly, plus a three-month deposit, a total of 50,000 federal coins.
At this time, Zhang Yuanqing saw the little boy named "Cao Chao" looking at the expensive snacks in the glass plate and swallowed quietly.
Annie bought the snacks in the supermarket.
"You can take whatever you want," Zhang Yuanqing said.
"If mom doesn't let you eat snacks, you will get beaten." Cao Chao shook his head with salivation.
"Oh, then don't eat it." Zhang Yuanqing is not a person who imposes things on others.
"I'm not very afraid of my mother's beating." The little boy followed his heart's wishes and reached out to grab a handful of snacks.
He stood by the coffee table, with his belly bulging out, and concentrated on eating. Zhang Yuanqing took the opportunity to ask the kid about the situation of the landlord's family.
Cao Chao's father is Cao Qing. His ancestral home is Guotang Province. When he was a child, he immigrated to the Free Federation with his parents and opened a small restaurant to make a living. After decades of operation by two generations, he now owns six chain restaurants and two snack bars in Chinatown.
He is also a big landlord with six apartments.
The landlady's name was Yang Xiujuan. When she married Cao Qing, there were only two restaurants in the house. In those days, the security in Chinatown was not very good. We often encountered Nico who ate overlord meals, law enforcement officers who demanded bribes, and local Chinese gangs who made things difficult.
The complex and chaotic public security environment made Yang Xiujuan develop an extremely violent temper, and she could not live a life without being fierce.
"Every time my father and mother quarrel, my father will call my mother a tigress, and then my mother will beat him. My sister sometimes calls her mother a tigress, and my mother will beat her. Only I never call my mother a tigress, because I
Afraid of being beaten." Cao Chao sold all his family information just for some snacks.
"But you just said tigress three times." Zhang Yuanqing pointed out pointedly.
The little boy's expression changed, and the snack in his mouth suddenly lost its flavor.
"I won't tell your mother, let alone your sister." Zhang Yuanqing said.
The little boy felt relieved immediately, and the snacks in his mouth became tasty again. He gnawed the chocolate-covered nuts like a hamster, and talked about his fighting sister.
In Cao Chao's eyes, his sister is an out-and-out big devil, moody, snatching snacks and toys from him, and also likes to beat him, just because she doesn't like him.
Beat your brother as early as possible, but your sister is aware of it. Zhang Yuanqing finally understood the reason why this child had a strong desire to survive at a young age. He had a bad-tempered mother and a sister who loved to beat others. If he had little desire to survive, he would have died at a young age.
.
"My sister can also do magic, so I don't dare to resist her." Cao Chao said with lingering fear.
"Magic?" Zhang Yuanqing's heart moved and he said deliberately: "That's all a lie to children."
"No!" The questioned little boy frowned and said loudly: "She showed me that she can discharge electricity, just like Pikachu."
As he spoke, he clenched his fists with both hands, held in his strength like shit, and shouted: "One hundred thousand volts!"
Zhang Yuanqing sensed Cao Chao's emotions and did not lie, but told the truth.
In other words, the little girl named Cao Qianxiu is a Thunder Mage? Well, no wonder he is irritable and loves to fight. I remember that the characteristics of the Lei Mage are irritable, irritable, and fair. Well, relatively fair, so the Lei Mage controls the Heavenly Punishment.
Thinking of his duties as a prosecutor, Zhang Yuanqing's thoughts changed and he asked again:
"Then when your mother and your father fought, did you release a hundred thousand volts?"
The little boy shook his head.
Also, generally speaking, the probability that the whole family is the same is very small. It cannot be such a coincidence, and it is not certain. If the whole family is the same, it will be easy to understand how to earn this family business. Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while, and then asked:
"Are your parents away from home for a few days every month?"
"How do you know?" the little boy asked in surprise.
This brother is really awesome. Not only does he know that my father loves to watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but he also knows that his parents are often away from home.
He was a little scared and suspected that others knew about his bedwetting last night.
Zhang Yuanqing grabbed a handful of snacks and stuffed them into the little boy's pocket, "I just made a random guess. Don't tell anyone what I said today. If you do it, you can come to my house and eat snacks at will in the future. You go home first, and I'll finish the box and plate."
Will send it back."
"Yes!" Cao Chao nodded happily and rushed out of the bedroom in a hurry.
After watching the little boy leave, Zhang Yuanqing ate two more candies before Annie came out of the bathroom. She was wrapped in a bath towel and her head was wrapped in a scarf. A few strands of golden hair were hanging down, showing her mature and lazy charm.
The bath towel wrapped around her heavy breasts, and the snowy ravine was bottomless. The towel hem reached to her thighs, and her two beautiful legs were long, straight, round and well-proportioned, and as white as condensed milk.
"Ah, Master, what are you eating? Anne, do you want a share?" The blonde beauty came over happily, as if she was attracted by the food and had no time to change her clothes.
Zhang Yuanqing handed over the chopsticks.
Annie used the chopsticks a little clumsily, picked up a "glutinous rice ball" and stuffed it into her mouth. The sweet and soft texture made her eyes light up:
"What's this?"
"Just think of it as glutinous rice balls."
"What are glutinous rice balls?"
"Don't worry about it, let's eat." Zhang Yuanqing picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, "I just found out that the landlord's family is the same. Do you think it's a coincidence?"
Annie, who was chewing glutinous rice dumplings, widened her beautiful eyes in astonishment, and immediately lowered her face: "They may be official people, official informants, or members of casual cultivators. Should we change places?"
Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, just pretend you don't know. Let's observe first and try to win the favor of the landlord and his family. Maybe we can use them in the future."
Annie said "Oh" and picked up another candy dumpling. She accidentally lost her grip and made a snap sound, and the dumpling fell into the depths of the ravine on her chest.
Annie quickly looked at Zhang Yuanqing and said aggrievedly: "Fall, fell in."
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the brown sugar stained on the white greasy chest, and said angrily: "Why do you tell me, do you still want me to help take it out?"
".I'm going to wash up right away." Annie stood up in a hurry and walked to the bathroom. When her back was turned to Zhang Yuanqing, she curled her lips.
Huh, she seems to have forgotten that I am an illusionist, and deliberately threw the dumplings into her chest to seduce me. It's ridiculous, am I so easy to seduce? Zhang Yuanqing looked at Annie's round buttocks and looked away with difficulty.
The "perfect figure" and "charm" of the profession of love have a fatal temptation for an adult male, just like a mouse seeing rice or a cigarette meeting a match.
Cao Chao returned to room 301 next door empty-handed and yelled: "Mom, I'm going to the room. The brother next door said he would bring the bowl back after eating."
Rushed to his room.
The landlady quickly chased after her and grabbed her youngest son by the collar: "What's in your pocket?"
"Nothing!" Cao Chao hurriedly covered it with his little hands.
"It's so stuffed, do you think I'm blind?" Without saying anything, the landlady leaned over and grabbed her son's ankle, lifted it upside down, and shook it.
The chocolates, milk candies, preserved fruits, and cookies in the trouser pockets fell with a clatter.
"Brother forced it on me, but I said I didn't want it." Cao Chao, who had a strong desire to survive, threw the blame away.
"It's quite rich." The landlady looked at it for a few times, gathered the snacks, and said, "Confiscated."
Cao Chao forced a smile and said, "Okay, give it all to mom."
Then he gave his father, who was enjoying afternoon tea at the dining table, a weak, helpless and pitiful expression.
Cao Qing is a middle-aged man of average height, slightly stout, with a small belly and regular facial features. At first glance, he looks calm and dignified, and his brows and eyes occasionally show shrewdness and smoothness.
His hairline is not high, but his hair is somewhat sparse. He wears a greasy hairdo that was popular in the 1980s and 1990s. He is also dressed very ordinary. He wears gray trousers and a black T-shirt with a pair of flip-flops. He does not look like the owner of a chain restaurant at all.
Cao Qing ignored his son's plea for help and said while drinking tea:
"My daughter said that the new tenants of 403 are a couple, a girl or a foreign girl? How does it feel? Is it reliable? I paid half a year's rent at once and gave a three-month deposit. There are no such stupid people in the world, right?
Don’t be tricked by others, what if you become a house thief after living here for half a year?”
"I'm better at judging people than you!" the landlady replied, "The boy graduated from Songhai University, and the foreign girl is a foreign language teacher. I think they have good academic qualifications. How about letting them help my daughter with her homework?"
?It’s too expensive to hire a tutor.”
Cao Qing chuckled, shook his head and said, "Let's take a look."
Early next morning.
Zhang Yuanqing got up and washed up, then sat at the dining table and ate the loving breakfast carefully prepared by Anne, including toast, milk, poached eggs, bacon, and sausages.
They are all high-calorie foods.
Zhang Yuanqing actually wanted to eat Xiao Long Bao, fried dough sticks and soy milk, but because Annie got up early in the morning and worked hard, and spent a lot of energy, he didn't want to throw cold water on her.
After breakfast, Zhang Yuanqing took a taxi to the company where Chen Shu worked.
Chen Shu worked in a large company in her early years. After accumulating a certain amount of experience, she resigned and went abroad, found several partners, started foreign trade, and became her own boss.
That foreign trade company is in New Testament Harbor, very close to the Statue of Liberty.
New Testament Port is the largest port in the Free Federation. Half a century ago, its throughput reached 100 million tons. In recent years, cargo volume has continuously broken records.
It is New York Harbor and the financial streets of the Isle of Man that have made New York County a world-class metropolis.
The two took a ferry across the sea and set foot on the New Covenant Port, the headquarters of Poseidon Church.
Chen Shu's company is called "Lianhua Trading". Zhang Yuanqing and Annie clicked on the navigation and found the company in an old office building.
The person at the front desk was a Chinese with delicate makeup, but at best a delicate appearance.
Zhang Yuanqing stepped forward and said in Chinese: "Hello, I'm looking for Chen Shu, your general manager here."
The girl at the front desk just had a smile on her face. When she heard this, she was stunned: "I'm sorry, sir, our general manager is not named Chen Shu."
Not Chen Shu? Zhang Yuanqing frowned: "Then it may be that the position has changed. I'm looking for Chen Shu, who is one of the shareholders of your company. Can you help me check it out."
The girl at the front desk shook her head: "I'm sorry, if you know the shareholders of our company, you can call her to inform her."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuanqing said impatiently: "Check it for me!"
His dark brown pupils became transparent, and his words seemed to contain the magic power that made people obey.
The girl at the front desk was filled with panic and resignation, and stammered: "You, please wait a moment."
She leaned over and typed on the keyboard. After a while, she raised her head, with an expression of fear and helplessness:
"Sorry, we don't have this person in our company."
Without this person, I had a hard fist. Zhang Yuanqing gritted his teeth and said in his heart that I was so blinded by lard that I actually believed Chen Shu. There was not a word of truth in that old woman's mouth.
The two had no choice but to return the same way they came. On the ferry, Zhang Yuanqing whispered:
"Annie, when you were working as Mr. Bill's assistant, did you meet my mother?"
Mr. Bill and Annie knew his real name, and they even knew that Chen Shu was his mother.
Anne shook her head: "I served Mr. Bill at the end of last year. He is a good boss and not a womanizer. I just need to do my job well."
Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and said, "Call and ask Mr. Bill. Forget it, don't ask. Bill and my mother are partners. They work together."
He even wanted to observe Chen Shu secretly.
This time I come to New York County, I will definitely let that riddle mother take off her disguise and reveal her true colors.
Taking the ferry back to the Isle of Man, Zhang Yuanqing went to the "Colorful Flag Bank" and deposited 500,000 federal coins into the bank card issued by the Hunter Guild.
Then he opened the bounty hunter app, entered the background, and selected the bounty task:
#魔君在Free Federation的女人综合#
Mission details: The buyer hopes to provide basic information about the Demon Lord’s lover, including but not limited to family background, position, organization, rank, photos, and detailed deeds of interactions with the Demon Lord.
Bounty hunters need to take assessments, points and levels to accept tasks, but there are no restrictions on bounty tasks. These days, the customer who sends money is always dad, who would set a threshold for dad.
Zhang Yuanqing came to the Federation for another purpose: to find the Demon King's beloved lover and collect map fragments.
I hope that the Demon Lord’s lover does not include the Heavenly Punishment CEO, otherwise I will have to give up collecting the fragments, kneel down to the Demon Lord, and shout out sincerely: 666.
Zhang Yuanqing prayed in his heart.
The two took a taxi back to Chinatown. Anne was greedy for roadside snacks, so she took Zhang Yuanqing to buy a basket of soup dumplings.
When I was returning home, I happened to see Cao Chao, the landlord's youngest son, playing on the roadside with a basketball in his arms.
At this moment, the sound of roaring motors came, and four motorcycles were speeding through the crowded streets. One of the motorcycles approached Cao Chao purposefully and suddenly slowed down. The rider on the car kicked his foot and knocked the little boy away.
The boy was kicked to the ground.
Several riders burst into laughter and quickly left.
The basketball rolled and rolled, rolling to the center of the road.
Cao Chao was very anxious and hurriedly got up to pick it up.
Zhang Yuanqing frowned on the roadside. He sensed that the rider did it on purpose, and his emotions were mixed with revenge, pleasure, and naked malice.
"Dudu~" A black car drove quickly. The sudden appearance of a child caught the driver off guard and honked the horn frantically.
Cao Chao trembled all over and was stunned on the spot.
In the distance, in front of a snack stall, a long-haired girl screamed: "Cao Chao, come back."
She threw away the food in her hand and rushed up like crazy, but she was too far away and had no time to save her.
Just when she was desperate, she suddenly saw a figure leaping past. He grabbed Cao Chao in front of the black car and quickly retreated.
