Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

"No... No..." Jessica's face turned as red as a tomato.

"It's just that a friend is in trouble... I need to help. Franka often... asks me to borrow money... I don't know why... every time... it's Razer who helps her pay it back. Maybe the money I borrowed is too little... it's not enough for her."

It's infuriating that a certain cat head has no correct understanding of the fact that she is a rich woman.

While everyone was complaining about Jessica, Xingxiong drank his tea silently, feeling a little unhappy.

Why? Why did Feng Qingyu accept Jessica's sponsorship so readily, but refused to lend money to solve his financial difficulties? Is this what a good brother is?

She felt like she was abandoned and her heart was empty.

Lao Chen and Missy are both ladies, but I am the only one treated as an onii-chan. It’s not fair.

But asking a 1.80-meter-tall woman who is used to fighting and killing to play the role of an elegant lady would be worse than letting her die.

People's sorrows and joys are not the same, and now Xingxiong just thinks they are noisy.

……

The meal was tasteless for Xingxiong, but a mission was a mission and there was nothing he could do about it.

This mission is a joint operation between the Imperial Guard and Rhodes Island, with the goal of completely wiping out the integration movement in and around Longmen.

Chen has been temporarily suspended and has no real power. He cannot command the team or deploy personnel. Shi Huaiya is going to take over Chen's job, but she is the only one who can spare the time to stay with Rhodes Island.

It’s just right. Prajna must be feeling bored after not exercising for a long time.

Before leaving, Xingxiong checked his account and found only a few hundred thousand Longmen coins in it.

It seems like a lot, but compared to Jessica's five million, it can only be described as insignificant.

“I have to work harder to save money…”

It’s hard to chase girls these days if you don’t have a few million Longmen coins in savings.

From now on, you can no longer buy trendy shoes or motorcycle helmets casually, and you can’t go drinking often.

"Damn it, why am I not a rich woman?"

Xingxiong felt heartbroken.

In the Xing Chen Dou Shi group, Chen and Shi Huaiya both come from wealthy families and have extraordinary backgrounds, so they usually have no shortage of money to spend. Only she is a serious worker who has nothing but the spirit of working.

If she had saved five million, would Feng Qingyu not have gone to Jessica Py to make a deal?

In order to get Feng Qingyu back on track, Xing Xiong made up his mind to work hard to make money. Rich women are good, they can provide short-term relaxation and happiness, but once you degenerate into a rich woman's plaything, you will be doomed.

Regardless of whether he is a good friend or a good brother, Xingxiong must nip such buds in the bud.

After lunch, the team prepared the necessary items for the operation and headed towards the Ursus branch city.

The location of the branch city is relatively remote, far from Longmen, and requires transportation.

The means of transportation allocated for this operation is an off-road vehicle with extremely strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. It has a large body and can store a large amount of luggage and tools.

The trunk is filled with tents, fuel, food, water, ammunition, medical kits and other supplies. The scale of the rations is a bit like a long-distance self-driving tour.

Feng Qingyu now understood why Jessica was always brought along on long-distance missions. Only she knew and could provide the team with the best configuration.

She could easily accomplish what even Rhodes Island and the Imperial Guards could not do.

When the driving tasks were assigned, Xingxiong, Feng Qingyu and Jessica were immediately excluded.

"Captain Xingxiong is in a very bad mental state today, and you, Heiyu, are in the same situation. You two should forget about the steering wheel. Jessica, you... forget it. I want to live a few more years."

Finally decided to let Shuangye drive.

When she was a mercenary, she had a wealth of combat experience, not only in combat, but also in driving vehicles, and she had excellent driving skills.

Rhodes Island doesn't usually have missions that require her to drive a vehicle, and no one knows how much experience she has. Now is an opportunity to test her driving skills.

Jessica would tremble even when holding a gun, let alone driving a vehicle. No one was afraid to let her drive, for fear that the whole group would have a car accident.

"Don't worry, I drive very steadily and won't make too much noise. I can sneak into the area near the branch city quietly. When I was a mercenary, I carried out many infiltration missions and never failed."

Everyone has great confidence in Frost Leaf's abilities. After all, there are only a few people in Rhodes Island who have top combat experience, and she is one of them.

Meteorite sits in the passenger seat, ready to provide support at any time.

The off-road vehicle could seat six people, and there were two rows of seats in the back. Feng Qingyu chose to sit next to the rich woman without hesitation.

Both Surtur and Hoshiguma are dangerous men at the moment and should avoid embarrassment.

"Ms. Jessica, do you want to listen to some music? I brought some headphones with me."

Feng Qingyu had a pair of newly bought wired headphones in his pocket and a lot of songs downloaded on his phone, in case he got dizzy during long journeys and it was inconvenient to look at his phone.

"Call me... Just call me Jessica..."

Jessica took the other earphone with a shy look on her face.

The two have known each other for a while, and always calling each other "Miss xx" seemed very unfamiliar. Jessica decided to work hard to overcome her weakness of being shy and call her by her name.

"Jessica, what kind of music do you like to listen to? Rock? Or instrumental music?"

Feng Qingyu just didn't want to add a troublesome suffix after the name, and Jessica's words hit the mark.

"You can just call me Hei Yu, or you can call me by my name, whatever you want, but I'm still used to you calling me Hei Yu."

Jessica didn't respond, but just nodded, and then began to browse Feng Qingyu's playlist. There were many kinds of songs in the playlist, including all kinds of strange and not strange songs.

Most of the songs are in Eastern languages, with a light tone and brisk rhythm.

“This one, then.”

Jessica chose a song called "Unreachable Love". She didn't know what the title of the song meant, but judging from the word "love", it should be related to sweet love.

"This song is a famous one. I didn't expect you like to listen to Bai Xue's songs."

The two were chatting animatedly in the front row, and Xingxiong, who was sitting in the second row, became increasingly depressed. She was careless and let Jessica, who looked so weak and inconspicuous, sneak away.

Just a rich woman... damn!

Xingxiong sent a message to a friend, asking if there was a high-paying part-time job. It was too difficult to get money quickly without violating Longmen laws.

All the ways to make money quickly are written in the Longmen Code. You can make a fortune every day, but you will face legal sanctions.

Friends' messages were responded to quickly.

[I'm in need of someone to drink with customers. Not a hostess, but someone who can drink and chat with customers. This is equivalent to a legitimate gigolo. Do you want to come? ]

Strange Stories on Highway 139

Seeing the word "cowboy", Xingxiong instinctively wanted to refuse. However, the hourly wage offered by his friend was too high.

[My partner's bar is a high-end club. The hourly wage is 500 Longmen coins. Working 7 hours a night means 3500 Longmen coins a day. In a month, it's more than . The customers are very rich. The tips start at a few thousand Longmen coins. What else are you considering, sister?]

Xingxiong was very moved by his friend's words.

You can earn so many Longmen coins in a month, which is easier than the work of the Guard Bureau. Just drinking with customers can make so much money, there is no room for hesitation.

[It's not an improper job, right? If I find out, your bar will be invited to have tea by the Imperial Guard.]

This was Xingxiong's last hesitation as a senior inspector.

The Royal Guard Bureau does not have any explicit regulations prohibiting police officers from taking on other jobs to earn extra money after get off work. It is better to say that it does not care at all. As long as it does not affect their main job, there will be no punishment.

Land is very expensive in Longmen. Housing, living, and children's education require money. It is difficult to support a large family with just a fixed salary. Many police officers in the Guard Bureau take part-time jobs after get off work.

Xingxiong never expected that he would embark on a path of making money part-time, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

She still replied to her friend's message within seconds, and this time she sent a long string of messages explaining her intention of hiring Xingxiong.

[How dare I? Everyone knows that you are a famous senior inspector. One of the reasons why we invite you to our bar is to deter those who have bad intentions and want to do something to us. Don't worry, the boss has already given you a big red envelope. As long as you agree to work, she will transfer the money immediately to show you her sincerity.]

Xingxiong was also very curious about how much money the other party would offer him, so he sent a message saying [OK, I agree].

One minute later, two hundred thousand Longmen coins were deposited into Xingxiong's account.

"..."

She didn't scream immediately. Although she was surprised and excited, she had to suppress her emotions.

The boss is generous, giving two hundred thousand at once!

[Okay, I'll come back to work after I finish my mission.]

Xingxiong cleared the information in the chat window and estimated his current savings in his mind.

Five hundred thousand, plus two hundred thousand, and the year-end bonus from the Guards, it's almost one million.

The funds and stocks I bought before also saw some increase, and by the end of the year I would have around 300,000.

One million and three hundred thousand was still far from her goal of five million.

Should I go to Shi Huaiya to borrow it? No, that would be meaningless.

Although five million was nothing to Shi Huaiya, the money in her account was increasing with every breath she took. Once she asked others for help, her efforts would seem pale and powerless.

I must rely on my own strength to snatch that person away from Jessica, this hideous rich woman!

At this moment, Jessica in the back row felt a chill on her back, as if someone was following her or cursing her.

There are seats behind me, and I'm sitting in the last row, so there's no possibility of being followed.

The detector did not detect any living reaction around, so there was no one behind him.

Could it be a ghost?

"Woooo..."

Jessica was very scared, and immediately hugged Feng Qingyu beside her and hid her face in her arms.

Although it was still approaching evening, it was not yet nightfall and the surroundings were dark.

"It's suddenly cold... There's a chilly wind behind me... Are there ghosts wandering around here? Before... my friend told me some urban legends about Ursus... I'm scared..."

Frost Leaf, who was driving, became interested.

During her years as a mercenary, she had to work night shifts many times and could not sleep. In order to refresh herself, she often asked some older mercenaries to tell her horror stories.

The price is not high, just treat them to some drinks and cigarettes and they can chat all night long.

"I have a few horror stories about the Ursus border troops. Do you want to hear them?"

The people in the car were just bored.

"Go ahead. We still have a few hours to drive. If you don't say something interesting, everyone will fall asleep."

Allowed to take the lead in agreeing, the others all nodded, except Feng Qingyu and Jessica.

In fact, Feng Qingyu was not very brave. Last time when she watched a horror movie, she was scared and cried, and she hugged Xing Xiong next to her. This time, she could only hug the cat-headed rich woman next to her who was even more scared.

She didn't dare hug Sister Gui for fear that she might have any misunderstanding.

"I... I'm not afraid. Tell me, I can tell you anything. My sister Qinglong was not scared."

Jessica couldn't spoil everyone's fun, so she pretended to be very interested in urban legends and horror stories, but in fact she didn't want to hear a word of it.

However, the best way to overcome fear is to face it head-on. Only by being exposed to more horror stories can you avoid being afraid.

With everyone's unanimous approval, Shuangye began to tell the story he had heard from the old mercenary. The atmosphere became terrifying from this point on, because Shuangye's tone was also cold, without too many ups and downs, which was very suitable for telling such a story.

"That was a story from decades ago. An old mercenary I know, referred to as A here, was on a mission at the border between Ursus and Yan Country. It was a dark and windy night with no moon in the sky. Several vehicles of the mercenary group broke down on the road and could not move forward no matter how they started."

"After checking, we found that the fuel was exhausted and we needed to go to a nearby village to buy more. But it was already late at night and the car was in the middle of the desert. Where was the village nearby?"

"Captain C suggested that two-thirds of the team camp where they are, and the rest go to find a nearby village. The food and water they brought with them have been almost used up, and they can only hold out for one more day at most. If they don't find a place to resupply resources, they will die in this desert."

The story told by Shuangye had the flavor of an adventure story, and everyone was very interested in listening.

In this boundless desert, the radio station cannot receive any signals, nor can we do anything else to distract ourselves, and the signals can easily be captured using communication equipment.

It would be great if someone was willing to tell stories.

Everyone was listening attentively, so Shuangye saw no need to stop and continued to tell the story.

"A was assigned to a team to search for a nearby village. He was timid and the youngest in the team at that time. He was very scared. But since this was the captain's order and the captain treated him very well, he didn't want to disappoint the captain, so he set out anyway."

"The car had only traveled a few kilometers when suddenly—"

Frost Leaf's story came to an abrupt end.

Feng Qingyu and Jessica's hearts were in their throats. At times like this, it was usually scary.

"Suddenly, the lights of the car flickered, flashed a few times, and then went out. Not far in front of the car, a dark shadow slowly approached."
