The four of Xie Sen walked into Youhai Hall and were walking towards the elevator. Xi Mai stopped them with four armed security guards and asked them to cooperate in the investigation in the name of alleged theft.
The four of them had already made preparations and cooperated very well, allowing Xi Mai to take them away.
Xie Sen originally thought that he would go to the local police station or something, but unexpectedly, Xi Mai took them directly to a lobby on the 87th floor.
The size of the hall is huge, and there is a set of white leather sofas on the right hand side, on which sits a man in a blue shirt, who is particularly good-looking, with blue hair and eyelashes. Xie Sen was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, is this makeup or is it natural
His gaze was too obvious, Lanny raised his eyes and looked at him lightly, Xie Sen subconsciously raised a smile to express his friendliness, this person must be a senior member of You Hai.
"Elder Prince." Sima saluted Lani.
Lenny waved his hand casually, signaling him to leave.
Simai's face was tense, and he stood still. In his opinion, these four people were weird and their strength was unfathomable. It was too dangerous for Lanny to meet them alone.
Lenny glanced at him: "Get out."
Xi Mai had no choice but to leave the hall and wait outside the door.
"Sit down." Lenny glanced at the four of Xie Sen and said calmly.
The four of Xie Sen looked at each other. Lenny's attitude was too friendly and calm, which made them even more vigilant. The four sat down opposite Lenny, waiting for him to speak.
Lenny's eyes fell on them one by one, pointing out their identities every time he looked at each person: "The dragon family, the Bai family, the only plant-type beast owner, the flying lion beast owner who has severed ties with the family, Brant Stars, are you provoking by stealing You Hai's treasure?"
Xie Sen blinked his eyes with an innocent face: "Stealing things? There may be a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Lanny snorted softly, "Do you think You Hai can't find any evidence and can't do anything about you? Leaving aside the evidence, as long as you don't throw away the things you stole, when you leave the country, if it comes from you The items lost in You Hai were found. According to the law of Blue Star, you can be thrown directly into the Dead Sea."
Xie Sendun felt guilty, Little Silver was born on Blue Star, it might not want to leave, but Giant Crocodile and Dire Bear are different, they were captured to Blue Star, and it is very likely that they will choose to be with them. leave together.
If they leave with them, Lenny will search them when they leave the country, and check them one by one.
Xie Sen maintained his composure: "Despite searching, we don't have anything from You Hai on us."
Lenny stared at him, frowning slightly: "Don't tell me, you stole things just to throw them away."
of course not! There was no way to say this, and Xie Sen didn't speak for a moment.
Maine stared at Lanny: "Your purpose?"
Since Lenny can think of searching when leaving the country, he can stand still and wait for them to leave before making a move. He didn't do that, but chose to sit with them in the lobby, which must have a purpose.
Lenny glanced at him, called up the picture sent to him by the search team, zoomed in on the screen and turned to them: "How did you escape?"
The photo was taken from a bird's-eye view. Next to the big reef in the sea, there is a blue whale that looks like a hill. Apart from that, there is no one else. Lanney then switched to a photo. The blue whale hadn't approached the reef yet, and there were four very small figures on the reef.
Comparing the two photos, after a blue whale approached the reef, all four people on the rock were eaten.
Xie Sen didn't expect the appearance of the blue whale to create such an illusion. He finally understood why the two aircraft withdrew. It turned out that he thought they were eaten by the blue whale.
"Wow! It looks bigger this way!" Long Teng's eyes glowed, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Bai Jiao pinched his hand, it didn't take a lot of strength, but it made him feel the pain, he reacted immediately, turned his head and smiled at Bai Jiao, shut up and didn't speak.
Xie Sen probed: "You just want to satisfy your curiosity? If you tell you how we escaped, you will no longer doubt us?"
"Of course not," Lanny said, "I'm not doubting, but affirming that you stole the things."
The four of them didn't speak again, and they made up their minds not to admit it. This was what they agreed on the road.
Lanny could see what Xie Sen and the others were planning. Anyway, he decided that You Hai couldn't produce evidence and refused to admit it. He clicked his tongue softly and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you know how much loss You Hai will suffer because of this? Do you think I will suffer this dark loss?"
He operated a few times on the bracelet, called up a document, and showed them the screen: "If you don't recognize what this is, I don't mind explaining it."
There are still photos on the screen, but it is not a regular photo, the color is black and white, the walls and the floor have become transparent black, but there are other things in the middle of the black, there are fingerprints on the wall, and two rows of white on the ground footprints.
Xie Sen: Is there such a high-tech thing
He didn't know what technique was used to make this kind of picture, but he understood at a glance that these traces were left by him and Maine on the 82nd floor.
He smiled: "Hahaha, this... We just heard that Youhai's security is very strict, so we're just curious."
"Really?" Lanny raised his eyebrows, "Since it's just curiosity, shouldn't the thing be returned to its original owner?"
Xie Sen blinked, and said in a negotiating tone: "Why don't you make a price, the things are not in our hands, so we let them go."
"Do you think I will believe this reason?"
Xie Sen had a serious expression: "On Brant Star, it is illegal to sell contracted beasts privately. Contracted beasts are our friends. We don't want them to be bought or forced into contracts, so we took them away and released them."
"You can bid at the auction." Lanny said coldly.
Long Teng said: "But most of the auction price will go to the contracted beast sellers. They still enjoy the huge profits from selling contracted beasts, and they will definitely hurt contracted beasts in the future."
"The auction items are lost in You Hai, and You Hai must compensate them with the average auction price of similar items," Lanney glanced at him, "The money they get will not be less."
Long Teng said: "They are so bad, you don't want to compensate them!"
Lanny sneered: "It's surprising that Long Yu's son is so naive." He folded his hands and leaned on the sofa, "Give you a chance, tell me how you escaped from the blue whale, and hand over your things to me." Come out and I can act like nothing happened."
He paused, stretched out his hand, with a piece of black fungus between his fingers: "By the way, I have to explain how you got this thing on the lens."
Xie Sen looked at the black fungus, and couldn't help but ask, "Have you taken off the one on the camera?"
Lenny: "Of course."
The cold fungus came to Xie Sen's mind, and he swallowed: "Give it back to me, I can show you a demonstration."
Lenny looked at his expression, and threw the petal in his hand to him: "Just use this as a demonstration."
Xie Sen secretly thought it was a pity, he picked up the black fungus and squeezed it in his hand, the fungus flap would lose control when it leaves the root, this is useless at all.
He thought for a while, Little Silver and the Contracted Beast would definitely not return it. If he couldn't fulfill all three requirements raised by Lenny, he might as well not do any of them, and he wasn't going to demonstrate. However, he was also a little guilty, after all their actions were illegal and indeed harmed You Hai's interests.
He was holding the black fungus, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he leaned forward with a serious expression: "Prince, why don't we make a deal!"
There was a look of surprise in Lanny's eyes. If the four of them hadn't stolen the shells and contracted beasts, or consigned the watermelons, he might have dismissed them when he heard this, but now he won't underestimate them, but is a little curious.
"Tell me."
Xie Sen laughed, and his tone was full of sincerity: "I have never seen such a beautiful place as Bruce Star. When I arrived at the space port, I saw many tourists. They all looked very happy, facing the water. Cheers and praise."
"Prince, how can such a beautiful place tolerate bad things? Except for the mermaids, most people on the planet have awakened contracted beasts and regard contracted beasts as friends and partners. Many people hate selling contracted beasts." Behavior, I think everything in Bruce Star should be beautiful, and this kind of thing should be strictly prohibited."
Xie Sen paused as he spoke. This is what he just thought of. They can rescue two contracted beasts, but there will be countless contracted beasts to be auctioned.
Where there is a market, there will be harm. The real protection of contracted beasts should start from the distribution channels.
It is illegal to sell contracted beasts on Brant Star, and the military has put a lot of pressure on the black market. Last time he was arrested, the military eliminated a contracted animal dealer organization, and the contract trader failed to recover on Brant Star.
However, they cannot be sold on Brant Star, so they may not come to Blue Star to sell them. Blue Star is a special planet. The native mermaids do not have contracted beasts, so there is no relevant law to protect contracted beasts. For contracted animal dealers , is undoubtedly a treasure.
Lanny's eyes moved slightly: "As far as I know, forming a contract is a sacred thing. Beast owners are eager to form a bond, but they can't find a contracted beast. Youhai auctioned a contracted beast to satisfy their wish, and they can The person who bids will have a good family background, and the beast owner treats his contracted beast very well, this is a good thing, not a bad thing."
Xie Sen looked at him in surprise. He originally thought that Lanny cared more about profit, but he didn't expect that Lanny said such a thing, which seemed to mean that everything in Bruce Star was good.
He said seriously: "That's not the case. Contracted beasts have a high IQ. They are individuals with independent thinking."
He thought for a while: "You can think about it differently. I heard that mermaids can change between human and beast forms. If there is a famous mermaid beast owner who forces a bond with you, you have to follow that person and obey him in everything you do. His actions, but he's been nice to you, are you willing? Are you happy?"
Lanny's face darkened: "No one can drive a mermaid," he said coldly, "I don't like this empathy... I don't want to."
Xie Sen said: "Look, that's how it is. Contracted beasts can't communicate with humans in words, but their IQ is not inferior to humans. Forcing a bond and even injuring contracted beasts is a very bad thing."
"That's right," Long Teng said aside, "If it has the ability, the contracted beast will willingly obey the beast owner, there is no need to force a contract at all."
Lenny thought about it with an unpredictable expression, and said after a while: "Bruce star will lose a lot of wealth by prohibiting the sale of contracted beasts."
Xie Sen thought to himself, as expected, profit was mentioned, and he was already prepared: "This is the deal I said, I don't sell contract beasts, I can sell other things, things that everyone likes."
"You mean watermelon?" Lenny asked.
Xie Sen said: "This is just one of them. Don't underestimate the profit of food. After you taste the taste of watermelon, you will definitely find a huge business opportunity. Of course, watermelon can not be included in the transaction."
"Do you want to exchange watermelon for shells and contracted beasts?" Lanny poked at his thoughts.
Xie Sen smiled and said: "I think it's worth it. In your eyes, shells and contracted beasts are nothing, right? You can try it now and judge whether what I said is true."
Lanny glanced at him indifferently and said nothing, it really wasn't a big deal, otherwise he wouldn't be so polite. The reason why he didn't have them arrested directly, but chose to meet them, was because these things were not as important to him as satisfying his interests.
He sent a message with his bracelet. Not long after, Simai came in with a watermelon in his arms and put it on the tea table in the middle of the sofa.
Xie Sen smiled, took out a fruit knife and cut the watermelon in half vertically, then divided it into pieces, picked up a piece and handed it to Lenny: "Eat the red flesh, the black one is the seed, spit it out."
He couldn't help but sell it while talking: "In addition to eating like this, you can also squeeze it into watermelon juice. Think about how wonderful it feels to drink juice while soaking in the sea!"
Lenny sniffed it subconsciously after receiving the hand, and the faint and sweet fragrance rushed into the tip of his nose. His eyes lit up slightly, he took a bite, and chewed it casually, the sweet juice filled his mouth, and his mouth was filled with saliva.
His eyes became brighter, he finished eating a piece of watermelon and wiped his hands: "Planting conditions?"
Xie Sen thought about it: "Dry land, does Blue Star have dry land?"
Lanny: "Only the island has dry land, and the area is very small, but it doesn't matter. Blue Star has resource stars, so you can try to plant it."
Xie Sen smiled and said, "So, you agreed to my deal?"
Lanny: "There are thousands of contracted beasts. If you only use one kind of fruit, I'm at a disadvantage. But I don't have to pursue the matter of shells and contracted beasts."
This was the result Xie Sen wanted most when he was invited here, but now that he has a better idea, he is a little dissatisfied with this result.
"I think you should consider the deal I mentioned. Watermelon is just a kind of fruit. Apart from looking at the scenery, the most important thing in human travel is to eat. Although seafood is delicious, eating it continuously will make you tired, and it's too bland."
Lanny raised his eyebrows: "You mean, there are other foods? As far as I know, there are very few edible foods on Brant Star."
Xie Sen laughed: "Of course there are other plants," he said, looking at the time, "It's almost time for lunch, how about we have a meal together? Let you try other flavors."
The five people moved to the fifty-seventh floor. Unlike the fifty-sixth floor, the fifty-seventh floor had private rooms besides individual seats. Lanny directly booked a luxurious private room.
Xie Sen ordered two hot pots, the waiter served all the seafood, and when he left, he was about to close the door, but Xie Sen stopped him: "Don't close it, just open it like this." Otherwise, it will be difficult to breathe.
The waiter looked at Lenny, who nodded.
The seafood was slowly cooking in the pot to give off its aroma. Xie Sen exchanged it for a moderately hot pepper, turned it into powder and evenly sprinkled it into the hot pot in front of him. Soon, the spiciness wafted out.
Long Teng was eating seafood that could be eaten raw, he raised his head and swallowed: "A Sen, did you put chili? It smells delicious!"
Xie Sen nodded, the spiciness is really magical, and the smell whets one's appetite. He looked at the red soup in the pot, and he couldn't wait for it. He was worried that it was not cooked, so he could only wait patiently.
But Lanny didn't hesitate, he just picked up a scallop, let it cool down, and ate the meat in one bite. The next moment, his face turned red, his eyes were red, and his lips were red as if bloody.
Xie Sen secretly thought it was bad, although it was medium spicy, but mermaids were used to light tastes, and suddenly they ate spicy food, medium spicy might be considered very spicy for them.
"If it's too spicy, you can try a dish of water before eating it?" He suggested.
Lenny glanced at him with red eyes, took a sip of water, grabbed another scallop without hesitation, and ate the meat.
Xie Sen watched him eat one after another, knowing that he liked it very much, so he rested his mind and talked about it as soon as he liked it.
Long Teng couldn't help it, and stretched out his chopsticks, but Bai Jiao grabbed his wrist: "We will get sick if we eat half-cooked seafood."
"Wow! Don't eat it, it's not cooked yet!" Long Teng could only retract his hand, staring straight at the spicy hot pot. Seeing that the seafood in the pot was getting less and less, he hurriedly covered the hot pot with his hand and stared at Lan. Ni.
Lenny drank several sips of water, his eyes were wet because it was too spicy: "It doesn't matter." No matter what kind of seafood, mermaids can eat it.
A long time ago, when mermaids couldn't transform into humans, they couldn't eat hot food. After they can naturally transform into human and animal forms, they will be fine.
Bai Jiao pulled Long Teng's hand away with a funny face, and Lanny continued to eat. Bai Jiao scooped some seafood from the clear soup pot into the spicy pot with a spoon: "If it's not enough, add more later."
Long Teng laughed immediately, and looked at Bai Jiao with a bright smile: "You are so kind and smart."
Xie Sen complained, "You are the one who is stupid."
Main picked up a scallop, glanced at it, and immediately put it on Xie Sen's plate: "It's cooked, you can eat it." Xie Sen turned his head and smiled at him, "You eat too."
Long Teng pouted and was about to refute Xie Sen's words, but he didn't refute when he saw this, and started to eat quickly.
The aroma became more and more intense, and it wafted from the private room to the outside. After ordering food in the bakery, the waiter opened the door and was about to leave. The smell of the aroma made him stop.
The eyes of the guests in the private room lit up: "Wait, don't leave yet, what kind of smell is this, give us some too."
The waiter was stunned: "Sorry, I don't know."
"Go to the kitchen and ask, no matter what it is, don't care about the price, just order one first. The smell is so attractive. I wasn't hungry at first, but when I smelled it, I really wanted to eat something."
"I'm drooling, completely uncontrollable!"
"Me too, God knows I hate eating the most!"
The waiter ran to the kitchen in a daze, and the chef glared at him, "How can there be anything new? Isn't it the same every day? Except that there is more salt and less salt, there is no difference."
"No," the waiter said quickly, "it's really fragrant, not the smell of salt. If you don't believe it, you'll know it as soon as you go out. The outside is full of fragrance."
The chef walked out and said as he walked: "How is it possible that I don't know what I cook?" After a while, "Oh my God, how could it be so delicious!"
He walked towards the private room following the scent, when a guest saw him wearing a uniform, he grabbed him: "Whatever they eat, let's get a portion, hurry up, I'm so hungry."
The chef wondered how I would know, and he comforted him, "Go back to the private room and wait." After fooling the guests, he came all the way to Xie Sen's private room.
Seeing Lanny, he was taken aback, stared at Xie Sen and the others and scolded: "You guys are so brave, you dare to bully the eldest prince!"
"Get out." Lanny wiped his mouth and said lightly.
The corner of Xie Sen's mouth twitched: "Where did we bully him?"
"The eldest prince is crying." The chef said angrily.
Xie Sen looked at Lanny and saw that your eyes were moist and red, and your face was also red. It really looked like you were crying. He lowered his head and suppressed a smile.
Lenny's face turned cold: "Who is crying?"
The chef panicked into a Muggle in an instant: "No... no one," he glanced at it. Although the rest of the people are in better condition than Lenny, they have similar symptoms. He looked at the place where the spicy smell came from the table, and decisively changed the subject, " There are many guests who want to eat this, big prince, how is this done?"
Laney looked at Xie Sen, Xie Sen shrugged, Lanny said: "New product research, not for sale."
The chef left reluctantly, using the words given by Lanny to deal with all the guests who were waiting to eat.
Some customers were so greedy that they ran to the door of the private room: "Dude, can I take a seat?"
A minute later, the man was invited away by the people led by Xi Mai. Xi Mai stood at the door and looked at Lenny worriedly.
Simai stared at him for a while, making sure that he was not crying and was in a normal mood, so he personally stood guard three meters outside the door, and he stopped any guests who wanted to approach.
The five people ate to their heart's content, while the rest of the guests on the same floor were in great pain. It was really torture if they couldn't smell it.
Back on the 87th floor, Lenny ate another piece of watermelon, the blush on his face gradually dissipated, and he took a sip of water: "What did you just put in?"
Xie Sen spread out his palm, and there was a red chili pepper in his palm: "Chili, just now is moderately spicy. Different chili peppers have different spiciness, and can be made into powder for seasoning, just like just now. It can also be used as food. There are many ways to eat it."
Lanny stretched out his hand to take it, but Xie Sen retracted his fist: "Now, what do you think of the deal I'm talking about?"
"It can be considered, but plant research is a long and uncertain thing. Can you provide the seeds and the exact planting method?" Laney asked.
Xie Sen said: "Okay." He glanced at the calendar and was taken aback for a moment. It was actually the twentieth, and he didn't know how the apartment and the contracted beast's residence were going. He decided to find time to ask later.
As soon as his thoughts turned, he looked at Lanny, "In half a month, the Brant star pepper will be available. If you don't believe me, I can send you the picture of the growing pepper right now."
Lanny pondered for a moment, and was about to say something when Simai walked in with a tense expression: "Prince, I just received an emergency report that the blue whale has entered the safe waters and is moving quickly to the east. The sea monsters in the Dead Sea Gathered at the edge, no action for now."
Lanny's complexion changed: "Stop the blue whale as soon as possible," he said coldly, "No limit."
