07. There will be voices criticizing me when I go forward, and encouragement when I go backward, and
Shi Qi stopped talking and walked to the window.
While her hair was blowing, her eyes fell on the people in front of the manor gate in the distance, or rather on Mu Su among them.
"You don't need to be hostile to me. Although we are not an alliance with Haven, at least we are not hostile." Eugene walked aside and looked at the same place as her.
"I don't trust anyone."
Eugene looked sideways at her: "Can you represent Haven?"
"Can you represent the Eternal Life Society?" Shi Qi asked.
…
The head of the Adams family has a very significant genetic characteristic - a head of brown-red hair.
This also made Mu Su stand out among a large family.
The person who came was obviously not a business partner, otherwise the whole family would not have come out to greet him. According to old man Wesley, he was an old friend of his for decades.
The guests did not keep them waiting for too long. A few minutes later, a ship more than ten meters long penetrated the dark clouds and descended from the sky. The color of the tail flames kept switching, and the speed slowed down to the landing platform.
The bracket is lowered and supported on the metal floor, and the side door opens smoothly.
After a set of power armor appears at the side door.
Mu Su looked at it with envy: "Is your old friend so cool?"
Except for Mu Su, everyone else stood behind Wesley as juniors. Without Shi Qi to care about him, he could do whatever he wanted.
"That's just his mercenary." Wesley said. "You have to know that his job is much more dangerous than mine."
Jones Edward is a border smuggler. His identity is to engage in illegal work of smuggling various things from outside the country, but he is vaguely protected by the federal government. In addition to black and white, he is the third color: gray.
Pure gray area.
Two new types of power armor mercenaries were the first to step out. The non-streamlined appearance looked thick and clumsy, but it also meant that it could withstand many attacks and stay in space for a short period of time.
An old man with gray shawl hair and a black suit appeared next. The years inevitably left traces on his face, and he was unsmiling. Then he stumbled on the steps and bumped into the power armor in front of him. Nothing.
Behind him is another powered armor of different models. This one has a streamlined appearance, slender and beautiful. The main body is dark red, and the complicated patterns outline the shadow of a Russian matryoshka doll.
"You're still so careful when you come to the Sun Ring." Seeing him tripping over, Wesley smiled happily.
Jones walked up to Wesley under the protection of layers of power armor. The two hugged warmly, and then looked at Musu: "Your son's boyfriend?"
Lancelot and Monroe in the back twitched their lips.
"You haven't changed your bad habits at all." Wesley laughed: "One of my guests."
Like close friends, the two of them first started sarcastic and sarcastic about each other when they met. None of this had anything to do with Mu Su, but the slender armor in the team moved inexplicably and walked up to Mu Su.
Wesley, Jones and others looked at her in confusion as the armored mask opened, revealing a beautiful three-dimensional face.
"Musu."
Katyusha, who was already tall but was a few centimeters taller after wearing the power armor, lowered her head slightly and looked directly at Musu.
Mu Su took off his hat and pressed it to his face. A muffled sound came through the gap.
"I am Lord Grim, you have recognized the wrong person."
"I should have admitted it right." The red lips raised a dangerous arc.
The truth is that it is so unpredictable. Mu Su was disgusted when others clamored to hit me if they could, but he never thought that he would be touched along the network cable.
"It seems that my daughter has something to do with your guest." Jones looked back and forth between the two of them with interest, trying to figure out something. "Don't let the blood get everywhere."
Wesley smiled and said nothing. He knew that his old friend liked to play around and was not serious. Besides, he was quite happy to see Mu Su get frustrated.
"What you see now is not the real me. The real me is actually Lord Grim. If you don't believe me, I'll call him over and let you do whatever you want." Mu Su still insisted on playing Lord Grim, and quickly opened his vision to Lord Grim.
Send a message with a smile.
[Axiao, there is a beautiful girl who wants to meet you, please send me her address soon]
He betrayed his teammates without mercy.
"Really?" Katyusha is as cold and dangerous as in the game. "I can deal with you first, and then the other you."
"It's the first time I see him, so I'll give him a 50% discount. Just hit him." Mu Su laughed, hiding his face. Then he threw down his hat and ran away before anyone could react.
"Killing people!!! Shi Qi, please save me!!!"
"Your guests are very interesting." Jones picked up the black hat that fell on the ground and put it on Katyusha's head.
Wesley avoided answering, turned sideways and said, "Please come in."
…
His eyes fell on Mu Su, who was running back and yelling. Eugene said, "Aren't you going to help him?"
"Compared to me, you should be the one who needs help more."
"The time has not come yet." Eugene said. I don't know if he meant to help Mu Su or something else.
Jones will stay at the manor one night and head to Alpha City tomorrow morning to do business. This means that their filming today will be delayed.
It will be broadcast tomorrow night. Although the work efficiency of Eugene and his team is still within the acceptable range,... the quality cannot be guaranteed.
Later, in the lounge, Eugene told Wesley what he was thinking. And Jones, who learned that they were filming, also rolled up his sleeves and wanted to join in the fun.
This flamboyant galaxy smuggler has none of the low-keyness and forbearance of his colleagues.
"So, since our father Jones has also joined the filming, does that mean there is one more suspect?" Musu, who had been hiding, took advantage of the crowd to show his face, and said as he approached, "I have decided -"
"I have a suggestion." Before Mu Su could say anything, Wesley raised his hand and said with a smile, "Let this guy die for once tonight. There is no need to drastically change the script and it will save him too much limelight."
"I object." Jones was unhappy.
"Objection is invalid. I invited them. If you have the ability, you can also invite them." Wesley looked at Eugene with a smile. "How about it, will it be difficult to appropriately modify the script like this?"
What else can Eugene do? He can only let the old guy and the two old guys fool around.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to make appropriate changes. At dusk, everyone except Mu Su and others received an improved version of the script.
The general plot is that the guest Jones had a grudge against Wesley, and then he said that he deserved to die, that he was late, and so on. However, when all the fingers were pointed at Jones, one night passed, and Jones was found dead.
In the bathroom, he was also strangled to death by his own hands.
