"So you suspect that it was actually Wei Lao Er who deceived you?" Yakumo pushed the coconut cake on the table in front of Tallulah. "You said something like this in a place like this. If Wei Lao Er is really as you think, you won't see the sun tomorrow."
"If there really was a problem, you would have left long ago." Tallulah pretended to be an adult, but her words were full of insecurity. Even if she had read a lot of books and learned some knowledge, she was still a child after all.
"When you say this, if you speak calmly and straighten your back, the effect will be better." Yakumo laughed and didn't take Tallulah's words to heart.
"And... I heard from Lin Yuxia that her father seemed to be wary of you, but also respectful..." Tallulah added silently. Lin Yuxia's father was the Rat King, and the person who could make the Rat King maintain this attitude...
Tallulah felt that at least the other party would not be so afraid of Wei Yanwu that he would not dare to say a word.
In other words, Tallulah was really going crazy recently and didn't know who to talk to. Ever since that guess came into her mind, she had been suspicious and always felt that everyone around her was arranged by Wei Yanwu to monitor her.
She didn't dare to say anything inappropriate, not even to herself, for fear that Wei Yanwu would accidentally hear it and bring disaster to herself.
If things go on like this, Tallulah even thinks she might be driven crazy by herself first. Precocity is not all good, and overthinking is one of them.
Oh yes, by the way, Edward was forced to commit suicide in 1067, and Talullah was either a posthumous child or had been born at that time, so when she was taken away in 1077, Talullah was at least ten years old.
This year is the end of 1076, which means that Tallulah is at least nine years old now, or even ten years old. Oh, come to think of it, by the time the main story begins, Tallulah is actually thirty years old.
"I personally don't mind listening to it, but it's very dangerous to tell such an important thing to someone you don't know well." Yakumo took a sip of tea slowly: "You don't even know whether you were holding on to a plank or straw before you drowned."
"This is the first lesson you need to learn. Secondly, don't keep a diary for important things. If you have kept a diary before, you can stop. If it is really as you think, is it really safe to write down the thoughts in the diary?"
Tallulah's face turned pale.
"Don't worry, a child's diary will most likely be regarded as a fantasy. Of course, you can continue to make up stories and confuse people in this way. Finally, don't make a decision too early."
"You will never know whether someone hands you a bottle of poison or a bottle of vodka when you are thirsty." Yakumo said slowly, "Unless you have absolute force to make the other party explain clearly."
"Why vodka?" Tallulah tilted her head. If she had to use an analogy, shouldn't it be plain water?
"Because some places just like to drink vodka as water." Yakumo smiled slightly: "Of course, it is also possible that you are just overthinking it. Just go back and get some sleep."
"I'm not overthinking it!" Tallulah immediately retorted, but then she realized that she was indeed unconvincing, so she could only mutter in a low voice: "Why didn't he say anything when I asked him?"
It turns out that you have already asked Wei Yanwu. No wonder it is like this now.
Wei Yanwu not only didn't tell Tallulah, but also kept it a secret from Chen in the subsequent plot. I can only say that the Riddler deserves to be misunderstood.
"Even if you have such a guess, don't be too anxious. It will only make you exposed in the eyes of others. If you have any ideas later, come to me. At least you can still complain."
It must be said that Tallulah is too easy to deceive now. Kosice probably also played a role in the abduction of Tallulah by words, misleading Tallulah to hate Wei Yanwu and voluntarily leave with Kosice.
Even a man like him who didn't have much skill in speaking could make Tallulah's trust grow rapidly, let alone Kosice who had been immersed in the officialdom for many years? It was easy for him to control Tallulah who was still a child.
"Can I come to see you often in the future?" Tallulah's eyes were filled with hope again.
"I run a clinic. Isn't it normal for a clinic to receive patients?" Yakumo spread his hands and said to the person beside him, "Black Mino over there, it's best not to point your weapon at others casually."
"After all, I'm a timid person and I can't stand being frightened. If I get frightened and kill someone, that would be terrible. After all, we came here with an attitude of cooperation." The pressure on Yakumo made Hei Mino
I couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Chapter 51: Family Brotherhood
The Black Straws are the most elite force under Wei Yanwu. They are somewhat similar to the Internal Guards, but most of the Black Straws are normal people. The black straw raincoats and hats they wear are high-tech defense products that need to be supplied by several cities.
But even such a person like Hei Mino actually felt scared when facing Yakumo. This man's strength is definitely extraordinary! Hei Mino rationally avoided escalating the conflict and continued to hide in the shadows.
"That was..." Although the black cape appeared for only a moment, Tallulah still noticed it. A being like the black cape would not appear easily, and Tallulah had only seen it once by chance.
"A member of a private army, it's no big deal." Yakumo ordered another glass of milk for Tallulah: "Okay, drink this glass of milk and go back. If you stay out for too long, your family will be worried."
In any case, Edward is dead, but Tallulah's mother is still alive. One thing must be made clear, after giving birth to Tallulah, Tallulah's mother remarried and gave birth to Chen Huijie, also known as Old Chen.
So it is true that Tallulah and Chen are related by blood. Their mother is Wei Yanwu's sister, which means that Tallulah is also Wei Yanwu's niece. They are all related in this circle.
This is why Yakumo felt that Wei Yanwu would not really have any opinion on Tallulah, or want to get rid of Tallulah. But it is true that Wei Yanwu is a weird person, and some of the things he handled were really unpleasant.
"...I don't want to go back." After seeing Hei Luo, Tallulah didn't want to go back anymore. She was still young and thought that Hei Luo was monitoring her every day just to report to Wei Yanwu.
Tallulah, who was already dissatisfied and wary of Wei Yanwu, now seemed to have found evidence. Her vigilance towards Wei Yanwu instantly reached its highest point and she wanted to avoid Wei Yanwu.
"…" Did I use too much force? Yakumo's mouth twitched slightly. Tallulah was a little stressed. I don't know what Tallulah had in her mind at that moment.
"This is such a headache..." Yakumo covered her forehead. She had no experience in taking care of children. And he didn't plan to kidnap Tallulah right now, otherwise he would really confront Wei Yanwu.
"How will you get money to eat if you don't go back, kid?" Yakumo flicked Tallulah's forehead unhappily. "Although you look cool when you swear that you won't go back, it's really embarrassing when you can't find a way to live."
Talullah was only ten years old. How could a ten-year-old child survive on her own in a place like Talullah? Without Wei Yanwu's identity, it was still unknown whether Talullah could survive.
Then Tallulah shut herself in. Children always have their own ideas, and when Yakumo mentioned this to her, she realized that she really had no other options, and that running away from home... might fail on the first day.
In the end, she could only go back obediently and could not show any rebelliousness. However, the words that Yakumo said to her took root in her heart and continued to take root in her heart.
At night, a fight really happened in the underground street. Talulah left early and did not see the fight on the street. Instead, Yakumo suffered a lot afterwards. After all, after the fight, the injured must be treated, right?
In a place like the underground street, gangsters should at least be loyal. If you abandon your subordinates when they are injured, who will be willing to fight for you?
Yakumo's clinic is recognized as the best place in the underground street. So such a weird scene appeared, the two gangsters who had just finished fighting, while looking at each other with dislike and cursing, walked into Yakumo's clinic together.
"Those who are seriously injured, come in first. Don't make trouble in the clinic, otherwise the doctors will throw you all out!" Ah Xing was busy confirming the condition of each person's injuries, arranging for them to receive treatment, and at the same time calculating how much money to charge this time.
The gangsters who come to Yakumo's clinic have a tacit rule that they must not cause trouble in Yakumo's clinic. This rule is sometimes more effective than the rules set by the Rat King in the underground street.
Sometimes when some people encounter a gang fight, it is absolutely safe to run to Yakumo's clinic to hide for a while.
"Stop crying. The most serious injury is just a broken bone. No one is dead. He will be fully recovered after one or two months of recuperation." Yakumo said while treating the person with a broken bone.
That is to say, on Terra, these people can fully recover after a fracture in a month, and they are no different from before the fracture. If it were on Earth, a month would be the first step of recovery.
"Fuck! This is your second fracture. Fengti has a good physique and shouldn't have fractured his bones twice in a few months! " Yakumo was too lazy to give him quick treatment this time and just let him rest for now.
"Hehe, isn't it true that the one who gets ahead gets more money? If I save more money, I can open a small shop. I still have to save more." Feng Ti smiled foolishly and scratched his head.
"It's the Rat King's rule that we can't kill people easily, otherwise you would have died long ago. Don't use your arms vigorously for a month after you go back. Exercise your arms appropriately. Come back after a month to have them removed. Next one!"
In one night, Yakumo finally finished dealing with all the people he had. When he walked out of the operating room, Yakumo saw the Rat King sitting on a chair outside.
"Hey, what wind brings you here?
Didn't you fight for family status?" Yakumo laughed, because there was a clear mark on the Rat King's right eye.
"Ahem, this is what I accidentally fell when I was going downstairs today!" The Rat King was choked and quickly made an excuse for himself: "Do you have any ointment to reduce the swelling?"
"You are too careless. You fell from the upstairs. What if you broke a bone?" Yakumo held back his laughter and cast a recovery magic on the Rat King. The marks on the Rat King's face quickly disappeared.
"What a magical ability..." The Rat King touched the corner of his eyes and looked at the mirror again.
"The Rat King came to me not just to heal his eye injury, right?" Yakumo emphasized the word "injured".
"What did you say to the little girl who came to your place yesterday?" The Rat King didn't really want to get involved in Wei Yanwu's family affairs, but this was somewhat related to the stability of Longmen, and it happened in the underground street, so he had to step in.
"Nothing. Instead of asking me, shouldn't Wei Yanwu reflect on his own education? The child is unwilling to confide in his parents, but instead goes to outsiders to complain. Isn't this the parents' own problem?"
"Isn't this situation common in Longmen? For example... your family, Rat King?"
"How is this possible!" The Rat King's reaction seemed a little too excited?
Chapter 52 Meeting Wei Yanwu
The Rat King was like someone whose tail had been stepped on, and he wanted to jump up. How could he be the same as Wei Lao Er?! Wei Lao Er didn't know how to educate his children at all, and his two nieces were as rebellious as each other.
And his daughter, Lin Yuxia, is so good! She has been sensible since she was young and is very motivated in school. How can the children of Wei Laoer's family compare to her? You said Lin Yuxia didn't listen to you? Impossible, you must have seen it wrong!
Yakumo didn't expose the Rat King's words: "I've been in Longmen for such a long time, and Wei Yanwu hasn't asked to see me. Is he so busy? Or does he not really care about the situation in Rhodes Island?"
"If Rhodes Island sticks to its own position, Longmen doesn't mind Rhodes Island carrying out activities here within a certain limit." The Rat King seemed to have prepared a plan in advance: "The premise is that Rhodes Island really abides by its own principles."
"Of course not. I even think Longmen should give me a five-star good citizen medal." Yakumo grinned, "After coming to Longmen, I have been conscientious and have saved lives and have never done anything out of line."
"Even the injuries you suffered from falling down the stairs, Rat King, I carefully treated them for you. Look, is there any citizen in the entire underground street who is better than me?"
Yakumo's words almost made the Rat King lose his breath, just like he was injured and couldn't get over it, right! Is the management of Rhodes Island intentional or just stupid?
"Wei Yanwu plans to arrange an envoy to go to Rhodes Island to discuss a cooperative project on mineral disease inhibitors." The Rat King did not hide anything in front of Yakumo. He didn't know where Yakumo got the information from, but he knew that Yakumo knew his identity.
Even the relationship between him and Wei Yanwu, Yakumo seemed to know everything. The Rat King never knew how Yakumo did it. Not many people in Longmen or even Da Yan knew about this relationship!
"I'm quite interested in this news." Yakumo's expression became more serious when it came to Rhodes Island. "Perhaps, I should go back to Rhodes Island to deal with the content of this contact?"
"No need. The delegation is just a public one. Wei Yanwu knows that you make the decision, so he will invite you later." The Rat King lowered his voice: "But it won't be a big deal. It's a private agreement and contract."
"Tsk tsk, Wei Yanwu is really... Never mind, since I'm here, I should respect his arrangements. Who will be responsible for contacting me later? It won't be you, the Rat King, will it?"
"I'm not Wei Laoer's messenger, someone will come naturally." The Rat King shook his head.
Before leaving, the Rat King was silent for a moment before he said, "Since you came to the underground street, the situation here has improved a lot. At least in this regard, I am grateful to you."
Yes, at least in Yakumo, the environment is much better. Some infected people will not be openly reprimanded or discriminated against when they are active here.
In the entire underground street, this place is considered a paradise.
"It's a pity that you can't stay here forever." The Rat King sighed. If Yakumo had been here, the situation in the underground street would have been much better. It's a pity that someone like Yakumo couldn't stay here forever.
After the Rat King finished speaking, he left. Perhaps the Rat King and Yakumo would not have many interactions in the future, but the Rat King's attitude now, to a certain extent, can be regarded as tacit approval of Yakumo's actions in the underground street.
"Goodbye." Yakumo waved his hand. Although the Rat King promised Wei Yanwu that he would guard the underground street forever, it did not mean that the Rat King would obey Wei Yanwu's orders. After all, the Rat King himself was also a person and would have his own arrangements.
However, the relationship between the Rat King and Wei Yanwu is indeed good, otherwise the Rat King would not have agreed to guard the underground street forever.
The two brothers quarreled, but they kept it to themselves. So what's wrong with bickering from time to time? It's just a daily routine.
Not long after the Rat King left, Wei Yanwu's envoy arrived. No surprise, he invited Yakumo to a banquet. Chinese people used to like to talk about things at the dinner table, and Dayan, a place with strong symbols, was no exception.
Of course, it was not a family dinner, but a more formal reception. The only person who came was Wei Yanwu.
But there was more than one person behind him, Wei Yanwu's wife, Wen Yue, also came.
"Welcome, Mr. Yakumo from Rhodes Island. Should I call you Doctor like the other members of Rhodes Island?" Wei Yanwu said to Yakumo.
"That's not necessary. Just call me by my name." Yakumo took a seat. "I heard that the envoy of Longmen has already gone to Rhodes Island. I thought that Commander Wei would not come to see a mere doctor like me."
"How could that be? Mr. Yakumo has helped us a lot." Wei Yanwu took a puff of his cigarette. He used a slightly longer pipe. After taking a puff, Wei Yanwu slowly exhaled the smoke.
"Huh... Mr. Yakumo has made a great contribution to the peace in the underground street. Do you want me to help you get a five-star good citizen certificate?"
"I will post it in the lobby of the clinic after I get it. This is a certificate of honor personally awarded by Chief Wei. It's a golden signboard!"
"..." Why doesn't this guy play by the rules? ! Wei Yanwu almost dropped the cigarette in his hand. I've seen people climbing up the pole at night, but I've never seen someone so arrogant!
"How come Commander Wei is actually lying?" Yakumo tilted his head: "It doesn't matter if there is no award certificate or not. It doesn't matter if there is an award certificate or not. It's just that it won't sound good if Commander Wei tells others about this."
"You won't be missing out on the certificate!" Wei Yanwu's face darkened. Why was this guy holding on to the certificate? !
"Well, thank you very much, Commander Wei. By the way, is there anything you want me to come here for? I am just a law-abiding doctor, and I have never done anything to let Longmen down!"
"It's about the mineral sickness inhibitor." Wei Yanwu put down his pipe. He finally understood that he couldn't talk about anything else with Yakumo, and he had to get straight to the point. Otherwise, Yakumo would definitely digress the topic.
"Oh! So it's an oripathy inhibitor. Commander Wei, you should have told me earlier." Yakumo laughed, "Then let's talk business. How do you plan to buy it, Commander Wei?"
"I heard that Rhodes Island has many types of inhibitors?" Wei Yanwu breathed a sigh of relief and finally started talking about business.
"Indeed, if Commander Wei is interested, I can introduce it to you." Yakumo handed the album to Wei Yanwu. He had a lot of such albums, all in his backpack.
This was also the first time that Wei Yanwu saw the introduction in the album. Like everyone else who had seen the album, when he saw the level 10 inhibitor, Wei Yanwu swallowed involuntarily.
"How big is Commander Wei's order?"
Chapter 53: Stingy
How big is the order? Wei Yanwu was speechless for a moment. How could he be in the mood to think about any order? Wasn't his first move to establish contact with Rhodes Island and see what kind of people Rhodes Island was?
How come when it came to Yakumo, both parties were ready to finalize the details of the cooperation? Was Rhodes Island so short of money?
"That's not great. Rhodes Island has just started to develop, and everything costs money. It can't be compared with Longmen." Yakumo said while eating: "Commander Wei, Rhodes Island is poor, sometimes I am so anxious that I almost have to sell my pants."
"Look, I'm a leader of Rhodes Island, but I've come to Longmen to open a clinic and make money!" Yakumo spat out a bone. Longmen's dishes are very similar to those in the real world, but because the raw materials are different, the taste is also a little different.
"If you really wanted to make money, you wouldn't go to the underground streets. With your medical skills, you would be treated as a guest of honor wherever you go, right? Even my brother...even the Sicilian lady in Syracuse would probably spend a lot of money to invite you."
"Hey, it's not that I'm thin-skinned, I don't have any channels!" Yakumo turned the turntable on the table and moved another dish in front of him: "Or is it that Chief Wei is willing to provide me with some channels?"
Why is this guy always hitting the snake with a stick? Wei Yanwu rubbed his head. There was no way the conversation could go on like this! Wei Yanwu wanted to determine Yakumo's true purpose and whether he could establish some cooperation with Rhodes Island to give Longmen some advantages.
But the negotiations seemed to be wrong from the beginning and never succeeded. And this person seemed to be eating all the time... Wait, how come there are only two dishes left on the table? !
Wei Yanwu then realized that there were only two plates left on the table, and the cold dishes were completely gone. When on earth did this guy eat all the food so cleanly? !
Although this kind of reception is mainly for discussing things, not for eating and drinking, but not mainly for eating and drinking does not mean no eating and drinking. Wei Yanwu is in a bad position to pick up his chopsticks now, and it is also wrong not to pick up his chopsticks.
"Rhodes Island is currently focusing on the business of mineral disease inhibitors. We adhere to the principle of absolute neutrality. Commander Wei wants to invite us to interfere in Longmen's internal affairs, but that's wishful thinking."
