At three in the morning, Wang Liumei was woken up by a phone call.
"Miss Wang, I want to make a deal with you." The man on the other end of the phone was short of breath and in a hasty tone. She had never encountered the other side's back and forth like this. "The situation is urgent, the troops are expensive, and the price is not a problem. If you have anything to ask, feel free to mention it. For the sake of our friendship for many years, I hope you can do your best this time."
As the current head of the Wang family, she has successfully suppressed a group of immortals and won the absolute right to speak in the family in the past few years by virtue of her extraordinary ability and her power. Therefore, as the most powerful figure in the clan, it is right for him to ensure that he can be contacted anytime, anywhere.
But the reality is cruel, to say that she is already an older young woman who is running three. Even if Wang Liumei still has supple skin and a beautiful appearance that can pretend to be a female college student, but that is just the result of her careful maintenance—and maybe some mysterious protein credits—in any case, lack of sleep is exactly what women maintain The enemy of appearance.
So, unsurprisingly, Miss Wang was very angry.
"Make it clear, it's three o'clock in the morning on my side, do you look a little begging for help?" She closed her eyes and made a deep nasal sound impatiently to express her dissatisfaction, "Give you one more chance to organize language and answer If I am not satisfied, I will hang up.”
"… stay in the United States, do me a favor."
"It's not too bad." Wang Liumei stood up lazily and rubbed her sleepy eyes, "Aren't your wives around? Is it convenient to start a video?"
Taking advantage of the fiddling on the phone, Wang Liumei rolled over and got out of bed, picked up a coat and draped it over a thin silk nightdress with suspenders. Although the room is warm with the thermostat turned on, the heat lost by waking up suddenly can easily make women cold. You must know that women do not take good care of themselves when they are young, and once they pass 30, they will begin to develop towards the yellow flowers of yesterday.
"Okay." The video was connected, and a familiar face appeared in the center of the screen. The background was probably his own bedroom. "Hey, aren't you at home?"
"Choose a coffin for yourself on the wheel of angels, if it wasn't for a chief designer with persecution paranoia who stipulated that only one group of civilians could be allowed in and out a day, I would have been at home by now." She gave a big yawn, and under her exaggerated movements, the front of the pajamas and the snow-white border on the chest flashed pink, "Fuck us so much money, at least we have to show some sincerity, as the chief responsible for the acceptance period. What's the matter with you going home for vacation?"
"Sorry, stay in the United States, I'm really not in the mood to joke with you now." The other end sent a link as if he didn't see anything, "You watch this video first, and we'll talk after you finish it."
The serious attitude of the other party made Wang Liumei embarrassed to chat any more. She patted her cheek hard to drive away the last trace of sleepiness, opened the link and watched intently. The video is short, and the progress bar is coming to an end in less than five minutes.
"... We will expose Lingus' conspiracy under the leadership of Mr. Mavdi Nabiyu Erin, and bring a bright future to all mankind!"
"Uh, what should I say?" Wang Liumei, who had seen the end of the video, turned off the video and looked at the man on the screen in tears and laughter, "As expected of your daughter, or in other words, as expected of your family. How many women taught it?"
"Minerva isn't—"
"Minerva isn't some kind of girl with deep scheming, don't I know what I taught myself?" Wang Liumei squinted and waved her hand, "Okay, okay, that little witch in your family has only seen me once and will follow up with her. You are guarding me like a thief, you should keep this kind of self-deception for yourself."
"Minerva stole a MS and kidnapped the daughter of PLANT's resident ambassador to the moon, and Brett's son drove up to chase after her, and lost the news." Ed ignored Wang Liumei's jokes. Guzi said, "The only clue now is this person named Mafudi. I want you to help me check the details of this person. If someone wants to use Minerva to deal with me, she will be in danger."
"If you care, you will be confused. I don't think you are calm right now." Wang Liumei put away her sneering expression, "There is usually no reward in dealing with people with defective brains. In order to maintain my good reputation in the industry, please prove yourself first. Be sensible, or forgive me for refusing to trade. Then answer me Ed, aside from cutting off your father-daughter relationship with you, what is the second most important message Minerva revealed in this video?"
In fact, Ed had already discovered that his thoughts were a little confusing, but the waves of Minerva's events gave him no chance to sort out his mood at all. Now, under Wang Liumei's rigid request, he finally began to force himself to rearrange his thoughts.
"Number one, she's an accomplice." Ed's increasingly relaxed look symbolizes that his IQ is starting to return to normal. "She's always emphasizing Mavdi's leadership, even hinting at the character's gender by emphasizing the other person's gender. Authenticity, in this case, she can always separate herself from being coerced and other reasons, which shows that she has always been considering a retreat for herself."
"Well, very good." Wang Liumei twisted a strand of long hair around her fingertips and played with it, "What about the second?"
"Secondly, she didn't expose the conspiracy." Ed's eyes began to wander, "As a debut, such a covert statement is not shocking and convincing enough. One of the reasonable considerations is that She was concerned about my reputation and didn't want to cause me trouble, so her purpose was simply to... sever the father-daughter relationship."
Clap, clap, clap, Wang Liumei slowly applauded with a smile on her face: "This is a small step in human history, but it is a big step for Mr. Self-Deception to face up to his daughter, I'm gratifying. Now you know how many people in your family are. Why don't you care?"
"How do you know they don't care?" Ed looked at her in surprise.
"Are they willing to intervene and get me to show my face?" Wang Liumei snorted angrily, "You're lucky, I happen to have heard of Mafudi."
After talking, Wang Liumei felt a little hot, so she casually took off her jacket. The clean shoulders, collarbone and the northern hemisphere are exposed to the air recklessly, exuding their own charm, but it is a pity that the people on the other side of the picture are not here, which makes her a little disappointed.
"Mavdi, he seems to be the leader of a secret association. He usually makes small moves in Europe. The funder behind the scenes is said to be Britannia. The scale of the association itself is not very large, so I haven't mentioned it to you." Wang Liumei explained in a sullen mood, "It seems that the Halevis have dealt with them. They should know better than me. I can help you find out."
"Secret association?" Ed was stunned. "It's already 0096 in the universe century, and there are still people engaged in secret associations?"
"Aren't you also the president of a secret association, where do you have the qualifications to talk about others?" Wang Liumei and Ed's communication line is top-level encrypted, so she doesn't have any scruples when she speaks, "You are with a bunch of big boys. Silently manipulating the fate of mankind behind the scenes, fooling the self-righteous dignitaries to give you money to build the Wheel of Angels, and how many of the downline members like me who betrayed their own class foolishly care for you?"
"Not much, you are the only child." Ed replied honestly, "You have the highest awareness."
Wang Liumei was both angry and funny, and even a little happy.
Regarding this so-called secret association, Ed never told Wang Liumei specific details in order to protect her. The core members she knew were only the leader Ed, the commander-in-chief of A-Laws Brett Noah, the moon queen Diana, and the lifelong members. Speaker Harman Kahn, and Nanali, who never attended.
The purpose of the Society is to protect the continuation of the human race, and the name of the Society is LOGOS, which Ed stubbornly interprets as "reason". But it is said that the name LOGOS was named by Nanali, just as LOGOS also has the meaning of the Holy Son in the Semitic Church, and considering that Nanali came up with such a thing as worshiping NT in the third world, the name LOGOS came from is quite meaningful.
However, Wang Liumei has no need or interest to worry about these things. She is a realistic woman, and her relationship with Ed is purely a matter of interest. All kinds of LOGOS only appeared in her mind in less than a second, and he was neat and tidy. He wiped it off: "Louis and his man will also come to choose a coffin tomorrow, so I'll reluctantly stay for another day, and help you by the way."
"Thank you." Ed nodded sincerely, "What about the fee?"
There is only a pure transaction between the two, Wang Liumei has always been very precise about her role positioning, and never brought any personal feelings: "Money is not very interesting to me or you, it is about your precious daughter. , you have to show some sincerity."
"Three days?" Ed asked tentatively.
"Seven days, one price." Wang Liumei stretched happily, the shoulder strap accidentally slipped off her shoulder, and a large piece of white flowers shook the eyes of the person on the other end of the video, "Don't ask me where I squeezed out for seven days, That's your business, it's a seller's market now. But I'm not a devil after all, allowing you to pay in installments."
"… make a deal."
…
"Mrs. Halaway, Mr. Halaway, this is the main control room of the Wheel of Angels." The receptionist introduced the young couple respectfully, "The commander will dispatch the powerful weapons on the Wheel of Angels to attack Foreign enemies, to protect the safety of the earth, this is also the place where NewType, the navigator, controls the channel in Ark mode."
"It's alright." Louis looked around and nodded his head, as one of the main investors of the Wheel of Angels, her purpose today is to check the product, and help her family choose a dormant cabin by the way, "On the wall Is this a Japanese samurai sword?"
"Yes, this is the saber of the commander of the fortress, General Kinkaram." The receptionist pointed to the cold weapon hanging on the wall, "This month, Colonel Amuro Ray is on duty. General Kinkaram is now on leave. He will His favorite knife hangs here to show that he and everyone in the army are always there."
"Well, the older generation is particular about it." Louis touched his husband beside him, "Shaci, what do you think?"
"Huh?" Sha Ci lifted his eyes from the phone, "I think it's very good. The Wheel of Angels has no flaws. It is indeed the work of Dr. Lingos, which is really reassuring."
"We are customers, not nurses." Louis sighed silently, "You should keep playing with your phone."
Sha Ci continued to lower his head and play with his mobile phone with kindness. He didn't have any right to speak anyway. Besides, he studied science and engineering when he was in college, and he had absolutely no concept of the operation of the upper class.
More importantly, the books he chased have been updated, and now he has no time to pay attention to Louis.
This novel full of radical descriptions and vicious political metaphors immediately became popular as soon as it appeared on the dark web. After careful analysis of the writing habits by him and the netizens in the group, it was concluded that the author of this book is likely to be a well-known eunuch. Xiao Huangwen's "The Secret History of Xia Ya" is the conclusion of the same person. And this time, the author extended his black hand to another world celebrity, whose title is "The Hidden Life of Lingos".
After reading the latest chapter in a hurry, Sha Ci couldn't wait to enter the group and had a heated discussion with the group friends. After so many years, the "Lingos Protection Association" has experienced many withdrawals from the group, and in the end all that is left are comrades who can entrust their backs. Even their spiritual leader, the Great God Carrot, secretly joined the group two years later. came back.
"There's no progress in the plot!" Sha Ci complained straight to the point, "The plot of falling in love with Lux has been over a million words and still hasn't been finished yet, and CC disappeared as soon as it was written. How eccentric?"
"It's coming soon. Didn't the chapter of Minerva appear? I think the plot should soon enter the main line of pushing satellites." The well-informed God Carrot stepped forward to explain, "But this author is really amazing, he even immediately You can write about Minerva in a book."
"But Minerva in the book is not cute at all." Shinji interjected, "It's too exaggerated to say that the attitude of robbing a man at the age of nine is too exaggerated. Does the author have any prejudice against Minerva?"
"It's just a novel. In this book, Minerva is still Char's daughter. If you look at the secret history, the world view is different." God Carrot made a funny expression, "I always think that the doctor will use another kind of Bad ways go down in history, it's good to think about it."
Then he was banned by the administrator ALICE.
"By the way, I have an unkind request." Shinji sent a pitiful expression, "I am getting married next month, if you have time, I would like to invite everyone to my wedding, of course travel expenses and accommodation. I will come out. If I don't have time, it's fine, I don't want to cause trouble for everyone, I just say it casually, everyone don't care. "
Sha Ci immediately planned to agree, and after thinking about it, he felt that he should discuss it with his wife. After all, he is still married, no matter how good the relationship between husband and wife is, he still has this self-consciousness.
"Louis, next month -" When he raised his head again, he found that he had been led into a conference room unconsciously, and Louis was talking to Wang Liumei, who appeared out of nowhere.
"Didn't I think my price was too high before?" Louis looked at Wang Liumei triumphantly. They were obviously the same age, but Wang Liumei didn't know what to eat and always looked much younger than her. Very upset, and now I finally have a chance to gain the upper hand, "Miss Wang who is invincible will also eat back grass?"
"Actually, yours isn't really any exclusive information, just thinking about taking care of or taking care of an old friend. You've negotiated that the status of a businessman in the Harlevy family will rise, and it won't hurt me, right?" Wang Liumei was not to be outdone. Looking back at each other, "Everyone has known each other for so many years, so don't be polite and deliver the goods directly."
Louis silently pointed to the ceiling.
"In case the aliens call and expect Lingos to save his life, even if there is an eavesdropping, what would happen to him?" Wang Liumei laughed dumbly, "What I do with the things sold to me is my freedom. Would you like to let people know?"
"It's quite abnormal for you to have such a positive attitude." Louis looked up and down the older single woman in front of him, "For men?"
"For myself, it is in the past, it is now, and it is in the future." Wang Liumei rolled her eyes, "Your man is still staring at you dryly and looking for something to do with you, don't waste your time."
"Okay." The suspicious look in Louis' eyes remained unabated, "The secret society Mavdi is in is called the Cross Pioneer, with a skull as a symbol. As far as our family knows, there are seven core members of the society, including him. Individuals, known internally as the Seven of Steel."
"It's 0096 in the universe century and still doing this kind of mysterious medieval dross." Wang Liumei couldn't help but spit out a sentence, "Apart from this Mafudi, who has never been seen before, do the other six have any clues?"
"Two are women, but the names are unclear." Louis recalled the information in his mind, "The other four had business dealings with our family, namely Cobatro Bagina, Fer Fronto, Edward Mars and Shuichi Ikeda."
