Chapter 33 Father and Son Seeking Guarantee Monthly Pass)
When Russell came back from the deer-headed statue, it was still very early, far from the nine o'clock in the morning that he had made an appointment with Miss Bingshui.
Although it was inconsistent with his style of always rushing to the venue, Russell still stretched out and enjoyed the cool air at early seven in the morning and went out.
But when he arrived at the office, he found that Delphinium had already arrived.
...or in other words, she never went back.
"Morning, Ultramarine."
Delphinium greeted gently: "The bad guy is not here today, what are you going to eat? I'll give you some takeout."
"I heard half of it and thought you were going to cook for me yourself..."
Russell complained: "Speaking of which, I haven't eaten your cooking yet. I remember you can cook, right?"
As soon as he walked in, he was keenly aware of Delphinium's well-hidden tiredness.
She took a shower in the Special Enforcement Division office and put on makeup again to cover up the dark circles under her eyes.
But in the morning, the nature of "people who haven't slept enough" and "people who haven't slept enough" are completely different, and old night owls can tell them apart at a glance.
What's more, Delphinium is not playing games all night, but working overtime...
But since Delphinium didn't seem to want him to know, Russell pretended that he couldn't tell.
"I used to know how to cook, but now I rarely cook..."
Delphinium sighed: "It's mainly because of my spiritual power. My poison can't just be made into chips and given to you for use.
"If I'm in a...excited mood, the food I make may be poisonous."
Delphinium's words are more tactful.
But in fact Russell knew what she meant - a fatal amount of love.
As the name suggests, when she has love, no matter what kind of love it is, it may kill someone.
"I can eat it myself, but I can't give it to you.
"And since I can't eat it for others, but only for myself... I usually just fool around with it. It's better to order takeout than to cook. Over time, my cooking skills will deteriorate."
"What a pity..."
Russell sighed: "Your mother's craftsmanship is very good. I also thought, in this case, your craftsmanship is probably not bad."
"Then come to my house for dinner often. I'll just ask my mother to entertain you well."
The delphinium narrowed its eyes happily, raised the corners of its mouth, and its fluffy tail behind it swayed briskly from side to side.
When she realized that her tail was wagging unconsciously, she felt that it was a bit impolite, and shyly tried to control it - but it was like trying to control her desire to shake or shake her legs.
It was really uncomfortable, and my ears even shook in discomfort.
So the delphinium simply let its tail wag with all its strength. The swing suddenly became even greater.
"Speaking of which," she said casually, as if nothing had happened, "because I'm a little concerned, I helped you check up on Miss Bingshui."
Did you check it by the way?
I must have been checking for a whole night. In order to worry that the information was wrong and Russell would be killed, I repeatedly verified the accuracy of the information... I am afraid that it was not until late at night that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her lips were a little dry. She must have been so nervous that she didn't drink much water.
Russell sighed secretly in his heart.
It would be a lie to say that I don't feel sad.
But they did not confirm their relationship, nor did they express their good feelings for each other. Although they regarded each other as special people, their relationship was still a bit weak. This made it difficult for Russell to care about each other... Mainly
It's because you can't decide where you stand.
And there was a vague fear in my heart...the rejection from Delphinium, and the resistance to "all of him".
Because he was not sure what Delphinium was thinking, Russell decided to play it safe.
If he had regarded Delphinium as a tool from the beginning, it would have been easy for Russell to gain her recognition and favor - but it was precisely because he cared a little that he could not use his abilities to her.
But even so... just after the first meeting between the two, in just a few minutes when Russell got Xiao Liuli's report of a suspected demon, Russell had already made some mistakes about Delphinium, who was not considered special in his heart at the time.
A brief synchronicity of thoughts.
——He thought that maybe it was that action at that time that made him always feel guilty afterwards.
Because Russell was not sure whether the synchronization and tacit understanding between the two were real, or was it the result of his mind reading at that time?
The result is...Russell will instead try to avoid Delphinium's behavioral patterns and personal preferences that are "completely known" to him. It's like a person who secretly peeked at the best strategy, feeling guilty for peeking at the strategy, knowing that there are shortcuts.
, even though he has the skills to skip classes, he deliberately avoids them and does not use them.
Even with his original strength, he might be able to discover that shortcut, and the same goes for that skill of skipping classes.
So Russell, who was eloquent and could be friends with anyone, became clumsy in front of Delphinium.
Now Russell can only try his best to follow the advice of Delphinium and reduce the pressure on Delphinium: "What have you found?"
"The better news is that this incident most likely has nothing to do with the dragon, or it may have nothing to do with history."
"What's the bad news?" Russell asked.
He knew that since Delphinium said this, there must be bad news hidden behind it.
"This matter is directly related to the board of directors."
Delphinium crossed his fingers and said seriously: "In that kidnapping case, the hostage who was burned to death was codenamed Monkey Faced Eagle. He was the founder of 'Grass Owl Biotechnology'. He was in his forties when he was kidnapped.
His spiritual relative had a mild illness, so he was in his prime at the time.
"This alone is actually very strange. Generally speaking, kidnapping usually involves kidnapping the target's family for blackmail, rather than directly kidnapping the target himself.
"I think it's not so much a kidnapping, but rather that they planned to steal each other's memories from the beginning. But in order not to attract attention, they pretended to be a kidnapping."
"Eagle..."
Russell frowned slightly.
Although it does not prove that there is an eagle in the other person's code name, it does mean that his spiritual relative is an eagle.
But because of a certain man's relationship, Russell was born with no favorable impression of eagle spiritual relatives - but fortunately, he also knew that he had some preconceptions in this regard.
"Although Monkey-Faced Eagle is the boss of the company himself, he is also the core member of the entrepreneurial team. However, only a few people know that at the same time, he is also a technical consultant for another newly founded company.
"——This company is called 'Root Project'."
Russell's pupils shrank slightly.
He remembers the name!
This name, Grandma Lan once told him...
Two of the three founders of "Project Root" rejected Kamalser's hostile takeover.
So Camarse sent Morgan to permanently persuade the two people who refused the hostile takeover, and distributed their shares to the only shareholder who agreed to the takeover.
But after the remaining two people died and the shares were obtained, the remaining director suddenly turned against him, exposed the matter to the Cyber Church, and applied for asylum to Theosophical Heavy Industries and Thoth Psychic.
And this is what Delphinium found out.
"The codename of this director is 'Dust Gap'."
After telling Russell the same thing as Grandma Lan, Delphinium added what happened next:
"Due to Kamalse's sudden disappearance, the director whose life was in danger is still alive. Dust Gap has now boarded an airship and safely arrived at Tongshen Island under the jurisdiction of Shenzhi Heavy Industry. While he is in a safe state... Before Online
The information that Camarse’s hostile takeover could not be carried out directly was also quickly erased.”
"I thought something would happen to the airship he was traveling on..."
"I actually think so too."
Delphinium shook her head: "But it seems that some people don't want him to die."
Russell keenly sensed the key: "Is there any relationship between the dust gap and the monkey-faced eagle?"
"That's right."
Delphinium nodded: "Chen Gap is the son of Monkey-Faced Eagle. He is also the 'son of the hostage' in the incident investigated by Miss Bai Xue.
"The technology that was stolen at that time was actually not only the technology of Grass Owl Biotechnology, but also the technology of Project Root. But compared to a company like Grass Owl Biotechnology that can be ranked as a company that has already acquired shares of Tianen Group,
For example, the 'Root Plan' at that time was simply the result of the interests of a few entrepreneurial college students.
"As for Grass Owl Biotechnology, it received a large investment about ten years ago... and it was during those three years that it relied on that investment to develop.
"I checked and found that the investment was specially approved by the chairman."
"...Chairman Sai Lun?"
"right."
Delphinium nodded seriously: "And just about half a month ago, a huge amount of money was secretly transferred to Gen Plan from the same account.
“It was precisely because of this amount of money that the two founders rejected the hostile takeover bid that followed Camarse.
"——It's not because they are arrogant enough to think that they can start a company without joining any head office. It's because they think that they have already joined a director of another head office, so they look down on Kama.
Else.
"That's Chairman Sai Lun."
"...There is absolutely no need for Mr. Chenzhao to leave Happy Island."
Russell felt something was wrong halfway through.
That's not right... If Project Root is a company protected by Tian'en Group, then there is no reason for Camarse not to know that Sailon invested in this company.
Even if he doesn't know, Gen Plan allows him to say it directly - he has been given priority to invest by your chairman, there is nothing he can't say about it.
"That's what I said. But this is the strange thing... Why did the chairman let him go? Why did she make such a large sum of money? And he happened to be the son of the monkey-faced eagle she invested ten years ago...
"
Delphinium frowned: "I can't figure it out at all. There must be some key connection missing. But there are too many coincidences. What can be confirmed is that it must be related to Chairman Sai Lun."
"Wait a minute," Russell suddenly thought of something, "You mean, half a month ago?
"That is to say, after we capture Quan Shu?"
Hearing this, Delphinium was startled for a moment. Then she remembered that Russell had captured someone more than a month ago.
"Is this thing related to Xiacheng District?"
She was a little confused: "It shouldn't happen..."
It's not related to Xiacheng District, but it may be related to the mage.
Russell murmured: "Then I may have found a clue.
"You were right at the beginning, Delphinium. This is indeed a very, very dangerous investigation...
"But, I've already been in it."
"Then there's nothing we can do."
Delphinium smiled helplessly: "Then we can only work harder."
