Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

My mind was still in a state of confusion, a blank. At this moment, the memo on my phone popped up an automatic reminder, with a vibration.

【Meet the Major at McMartin Bros. French Fries at ten o'clock.】

"Oops!"

I was going to be late. It was already past 9:30 and I hadn't gotten up to wash and get ready. After washing and getting ready, I had to find a way to catch a ride.

Nine o'clock in the morning is Victoria's rush hour, and there may be traffic jams on the road.

"Damn it... I'll definitely be punished by the major if I'm late."

After being in a daze for a while, there were only twenty-five minutes left.

Feng Qingyu didn't care about so much. He quickly got out of bed, rushed to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face as quickly as possible, and sprayed some water on his long black hair that was messed up by sleep.

If she has enough time, she would prefer to take a bath to wake herself up and wash off the oil accumulated on her body overnight.

But there is no extra time now.

There was a change of clothes in her backpack, and she dressed in two minutes at the same speed she had used when getting ready before early morning training at the police academy.

"Twenty minutes left..."

How great it would be to have motorbikes at this time. Small cars can travel freely through the streets and alleys without worrying about any traffic jams.

The problem is that there are no cars. If you want to hail a taxi, you have to wait, and you may not be able to hail an empty one.

Just when Feng Qingyu was at a loss, it just so happened that a delivery man from McMartin's French Fries was delivering food nearby on a motorcycle.

The delivery girl was a thin woman, less than 160cm tall, which was in stark contrast to the bulky motorcycle.

She is indeed not suitable for such a bulky means of transportation, and it would be better to replace it with a lighter electric scooter.

At this moment, this car became the life-saving straw that Feng Qingyu had to grasp.

"Miss, can you give me a ride? I'm going to your store."

The delivery girl's cheeks turned red.

"Sure... I've already delivered the food and I'm ready to go back... But, I've never driven anyone before, and I just got my driver's license..."

"Don't worry, I'll drive, you just need to hold me steady. I'm a pretty good driver."

The shy film delivery man nodded in agreement.

"Be careful. This car has a lot of power. I'm worried that if I drive too fast, I'll hit someone. If I damage someone, I'll have to pay for it. I've already crashed several times this month... and ruined my customers' meals."

"Don't worry, I've ridden bikes that are harder to ride than this."

Feng Qingyu didn't have time to continue talking nonsense with this girl.

Now she only had fifteen minutes left, and every minute was precious.

Fake Marriage

Feng Qingyu was secretly happy to ride a bicycle on the road after a long absence. Cycling is not allowed on Rhodes Island, and there is no need to ride a bicycle. You can rely on walking to get from one place to another.

She is similar to Xingxiong, and has a strong obsession with motorcycles. She likes to ride on the road and circle around the city of Longmen whenever she has nothing to do.

Riding a motorcycle, I feel as if the world is in my hands.

After the delivery girl sat firmly, Feng Qingyu immediately started the motorcycle and prepared to drive away.

"You show me the way. I'm in a hurry. Besides, I'm not familiar with the roads in Hill County."

"Aren't you a local?"

"I am a tourist from Longmen, Yan Country. Sit tight, it may be a little thrilling later, but I promise you that you will not be in danger."

The dark gray motorcycle turned into a gray phantom and suddenly disappeared around the corner.

The motorcycle was speeding, bringing with it strong gusts of wind that blew the hair of the two people on the bike all over the place. The delivery girl in the back seat was deeply disturbed by it and almost ate her hair several times.

Feng Qingyu had no choice but to spend more than ten seconds tying her hair up, while glancing at the time on her watch.

"It's over. There are less than ten minutes left..."

I could have avoided this strange meeting, but I went along out of courtesy to my brother. I should blame myself for sleeping so soundly that I even forgot to set the alarm.

What followed was a series of high-risk operations comparable to those at lightning speed. The motorcycle almost hit the fire hydrants on the roadside several times, and it narrowly missed people and cars many times, just a few centimeters away from collision.

"Wow... It's so dangerous, I feel like I'm going to die! So scary... So scary!"

The girl behind him had already closed her eyes and let out a cry that was completely consistent with her character, personality and age, and was close to a scream.

I don't know what happened, but the girl suddenly grabbed her tail.

"hiss--"

Can you grab the tail randomly?

This action immediately made Feng Qingyu feel his underwear tighten, and a little inexplicable pressure accumulated in his lower abdomen.

"Um... Miss, can you please let go first? My tail... it doesn't stand being grabbed. If you grab it again, it will have a stress reaction."

Feng Qingyu really didn't want to elaborate on the so-called stress response - Tail would cry after developing PTSD from being dragged, and the longer it was held, the harder it would cry.

"I'm sorry, I just..."

The delivery girl quickly let go of her hand. It is very rude to grab someone's tail.

The rest of the ride went smoothly. Willow's neighborhood was only a few kilometers away from the McMartin French Fries store, and could be reached in ten minutes by bike.

A minute before she was late, she pushed open the door of the chip shop and saw the major sitting in a corner on the first floor.

He ordered an extra-large portion of fish and chips, and the fries piled up like a small mountain on the plate. It was too much for Feng Qingyu, and it took her four or five to finish it.

The major was concentrating on eating and didn't notice her, so she had to walk over and sit opposite the major.

"I'm here. Good morning, Major. Am I not late?"

Addressing one's own brother as "Major" is very strange no matter how you think about it.

It was exactly ten o'clock in the morning, and Feng Qingyu arrived at the right time.

"Hmph, you're barely on time. I see you came in a hurry and you must not have eaten anything. I just accidentally ordered a little more, and since you're my sister, it's not impossible for me to share some with you."

The major took out a plate of the remaining French fries and pushed it in front of Feng Qingyu.

The food was still hot, obviously it had just been served.

"Thank you, Major."

Feng Qingyu went to the counter and ordered a cup of Coke. French fries are not called French fries without Coke.

During the meal, the two did not communicate at all. The major was a taciturn person, and if no one spoke, the silence would remain.

"Are you looking for me?"

Feng Qingyu dared to be the first brave man to speak.

The major grabbed a few French fries, dipped them in ketchup and stuffed them into his mouth. He slowly wiped the oil and salt off his hands before looking at her.

"Nothing special. I just want you to leave Hill County as soon as possible and not go to Toronto County. Go back to where you came from. Victoria is not a good place for you to stay."

"Is there a reason?"

"I'm one of the garrison commanders here. Do I need to give you a reason? You should leave as soon as possible. It's best to leave this afternoon. Otherwise, if something difficult happens, I won't be able to help you."

"..."

Feng Qingyu hated people who kept things in suspense. The colonel only said half of the words, telling her to leave Victoria quickly, but he didn't explain anything else. It felt like "listening to your words is like listening to your words".

"Can't you make it clear? It's very difficult for me to deal with you. I was doing well in the company, but Feng Tiancheng threatened me blatantly that if I didn't come to the blind date he arranged, my company would be in trouble. Do you think I really want to come?"

"Feng Tiancheng... this old man is really enough. Don't worry about it. Just leave when I tell you to. There has been a big move within the garrison recently, and I'm worried that you will be affected. No one wants to be infected with oripathy and be treated as an alien."

This was the greatest kindness the major could give to Feng Qingyu.

He knew that he could not change anything, and what he could do was limited. Those who opposed Colonel Hamilton had a miserable end, and his lame leg was the least of his.

The others are either on the run or dead.

"..."

Feng Qingyu quietly lifted up his sleeves, revealing an arm covered with black Originium crystals. While the major was still in shock, he quickly pulled off his coat sleeves.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If some things are not dealt with, they will continue to pile up. I have to find a way to deal with Feng Tiancheng and ask him to stop bothering me to go on blind dates."

The brother and sister fell silent again without any prior agreement.

As the children of aristocratic families, blind dates are an inevitable "disaster". Basically, when they reach a certain age, they will be thrown out to meet other nobles. If they meet the right person, they are lucky. If they are tied to someone they don't love, then all that is left is pain and suffering.

It seems that the major has had such an experience. Feng Qingyu can read it a little from his eyes.

"To be honest, I was kicked out by him because I didn't obey his orders, and I haven't taken a penny from home for a long time. When my mother passed away, she left me some inheritance. I used part of it to buy a house and property, and used the other part to do business. Now I'm living a decent life. If you have any financial difficulties, I can help you solve them. There's no need to sacrifice the rest of your life for it."

There was a bank card from the Central Bank of Victoria on the table. It was unknown how much money was in the card, but it was definitely not small.

"No, I'm not short of money, and this money is earned by your own hard work, how can I take it casually?"

Feng Qingyu pushed the bank card back.

"I just don't want him to cause trouble for Rhodes Island. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with him. If you want to help me, is there any socialite who wants to get married in a fake marriage that you can introduce to me?"

Thirty-two reached a consensus

The major held his chin up and thought for a few seconds, his expression was kind of cute.

"Fake marriages... yes, there are, and quite a few of them. Victoria has a special website full of nobles who want fake marriages. I'll give you the website. You post your request and you should get a response soon."

Then, Feng Qingyu received a web link in her inbox. She clicked on it and found that the page was an anonymous communication website. Everyone used a pseudonym and posted their requirements for blind dates on the forum and waited for a reply.

After following each other, they can enter private chat mode, arrange meeting time and place, and start preparing fake dating and fake marriage plans.

Some of them turned fake things into real ones, but most of them were poor people who wanted to avoid family marriages and seek true happiness.

"It's interesting that there is such a website. I'll post a thread and see if I can find a suitable candidate."

Feng Qingyu posted a message following the format of others, stating his own age and gender, as well as the age and gender of the blind date partner he wanted.

The age range she can accept is between 20 and 35, which is barely considered wide. To be honest, family marriage is just a way for family elders to seek more benefits. It doesn't matter whether the married people are happy or not.

Just after I sent the message, someone responded within a few minutes.

The name of the respondent was "Saileach". Feng Qingyu tried to spell it but found it was not smooth and he didn't know what language it was from.

Never mind, as long as someone replies.

Feng Qingyu and Saileach paid attention to each other and chatted for a while. The other party was anxious to find a fake blind date to deal with the blind date arranged by his family, hoping to meet as soon as possible, the sooner the better, today was the deadline.

It just so happened that Feng Qingyu also hoped to deal with it as soon as possible, so he immediately made an appointment with Saileach to meet at the Ribak Café in Victoria.

The Ribak restaurant was only a few hundred meters away from the McMartin's chip shop, on the next block, so there was plenty of time to eat the chips and then go over for a cup of coffee.

"You've made a date so soon? Humph, you're quite capable. You've inherited your mother's good genes."

The major's tone was still a little harsh, but it was more emotional. Judging from his actions today, his bad attitude towards him was just tsundere.

It is extremely insincere to wrap good intentions in bad words.

There is a characteristic of arrogant people that makes people want to tease them. Feng Qingyu immediately teased him.

"You're not bad, you're so handsome, why don't you consider dating a girl? Of course, a boy is also fine."

"Go to hell, I'm not married and I have no interest in dating anyone. Anyway, I've said everything I need to say. It's your business whether you want to leave or not. If anything goes wrong, you have to clean up the mess yourself. I won't help you."

"Yes, yes, I got it. I will leave as soon as I finish my work. Major Drake, please don't worry. I am hungry, so I will eat something first. Since you still have so much, I won't be polite."

Just when they had finished eating half of their food, the major received a phone call and had something urgent to deal with, so he had to leave Feng Qingyu alone in the chip shop.

"The food has been paid for, please help yourself. I have something else to do in the barracks, so I have to leave first. I'll contact you if you need anything else."

"Okay, good luck to you."

Feng Qingyu watched his brother limping away with his cane.

The meeting time with Miss Saileach, whom I met on the Internet, is at 11 o'clock. There is still half an hour left. After eating, I have plenty of time to wait from here to Ribak.

The token of their meeting was a copy of the latest fashion magazine, Victoria Beauty. The cover of this issue happened to be Feng Qingyu's favorite band, AUS.

At that time, Miss Saileach, who is eager to find a fake marriage partner, will also show up with the same magazine as hers.

Feng Qingyu was quite curious about what kind of beautiful lady the other party was, but this website did not have the function of posting pictures, so he could only post text.
