Chapter 719 Prelude to the Confrontation (two chapters in one)
“Footprints of beasts?”
Lin Li was very surprised after hearing what Liu Jialin said.
Then, he sent a voice message and asked, "If the final investigation results show that the place where the flood occurred was really caused by alien beasts, what will be done next?"< br>
“Huh…”
A gust of wind blew by, and the leafy tree swayed gently, and some leaves fell from the tree and floated towards Liu Jialin's head.
Moving a step aside, Liu Jialin stretched out her left hand to catch the fallen leaves.
She glanced at the slightly yellow leaves in her hand, and then replied to Lin Li with a voice message.
"If the final investigation results show that it is really alien animals that cause trouble, then we will definitely continue to track down the culprit, and at the same time, we will find out and fill in the gaps to prevent such a thing from happening again."
Not long after the voice was sent, Lin Li replied with something that made Liu Jialin a little speechless.
"Tracing down the culprit and checking for deficiencies requires a lot of manpower, and the Supernatural Administration Bureau is currently short of manpower..." Lin Li's truthful words made Liu Jialin not sure how to answer. Lin Li's silence also made Lin Li feel a little embarrassed.
"This kind of thing is not something I should worry about. The leaders of the bureau will naturally find a way to solve it by then." Liu Jialin dumped this somewhat thorny issue on the leaders.
Of course, she is right to say that. The problem of shortage of manpower is not something Liu Jialin can solve. This kind of headache is naturally left to the leader to worry about and find a solution.
Lin Li did not continue chatting about the shortage of manpower in the Superpower Management Bureau. He turned his head and looked at the sky outside and said to Liu Jialin.
"There's nothing else to do, so go ahead and get busy! When you go on vacation later, we'll make an appointment to have a meal together."
"Yes." After Liu Jialin finished chatting with Lin Li, she put away her phone.
Just as he was about to return to his office, he saw a colleague he knew in the distance hurriedly walking over from a distance.
"Xiao He, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"I have received a piece of information about the Black Crow Organization, and I need to take it to the leader quickly." Investigator Xiao He simply said something to Liu Jialin, and then walked quickly to an office building in the distance.
Liu Jialin looked at her colleague's retreating figure, and her slender eyebrows immediately wrinkled.
"Intelligence from the Black Crow Organization? What do those guys want to do?"
…………
In the quiet living room, Lin Li was sitting on the sofa, Thinking back to the content of the chat with Liu Jialin just now.
"If the flood was really caused by alien beasts, wouldn't the Superpower Management Bureau take severe revenge on those alien beasts that caused trouble?"
Lin Li thought for a while, then put the flood aside. He picked up the TV remote control, turned the muted TV back on, jumped to a channel that played a TV series, then got up and left the living room, going to the kitchen to get ice cream.
"Ding dong..."
The doorbell at home was rang. Lin Li, who had just taken out a box of ice cream from the freezer and took a bite, heard the doorbell ringing and immediately put his hand on it. Put the ice cream on the dining table, and then quickly walked to the entrance hall.
“Click.”
Opening the door, Lin Li saw a courier boy in his twenties standing at the door of his home, holding a large package in his hand.
"I haven't done any online shopping recently. Where can I get express delivery from? This courier guy must have found the wrong place..."
Before Lin Li could ask the other party, he heard the courier guy asking for help.
"Hello, sir, this is your neighbor's express delivery. I couldn't get through to her when I called her just now. Could you please sign for it on her behalf?"
It turns out to be Xia Qing's express delivery. ...Lin Li smiled and nodded when he heard this, "Okay."
After a while, Lin Li, who was helping the neighbor next door to collect the express delivery, closed the door.
He came to the restaurant with the express delivery, put the package on the table, then picked up the ice cream and took a taste, and walked to the living room.
…………
Rongxi Primary School, the school bell rang, and the quiet campus became very noisy.
Many students ran out of the classroom and ran towards the entrance of the campus.
Although the teacher has repeatedly emphasized not to run in school, how can any child who is eager to go home and watch cartoons after school resist running?
Zhou Tongtong, who was carrying a cartoon schoolbag, came to Xia Qing. She saw that Xia Qing was on the phone, so she stood aside and waited.
"Okay, I understand, please excuse me."
Xia Qing finished the call, put away the phone, and handed the helmet to Zhou Tongtong.
"Mom, who were you calling just now?" Zhou Tongtong asked Xia Qing while putting on her helmet.
Xia Qing replied, "I was on the phone with the courier just now!"
"My things have arrived so soon?" Zhou Tongtong said in surprise after putting on her helmet.
“Tell me!” Xia Qing picked up Zhou Tongtong and put her on the back seat. “Because the delivery place is local, it arrived so quickly.”
“Mom, Let's go home quickly!" Zhou Tongtong urged as she wanted to see the online shopping as soon as possible.
"Don't be anxious. Before we go back, let's go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and bring some small fish to the two little wild cats." Xia Qing said as she started the electric car and drove her daughter to Driving to the grocery store.
…………
In the teacher's office, Su Yue packed up the things on the desk and got ready to get off work.
She took out her phone from the drawer, unlocked the screen, and planned to check whether the weather would rain again tonight, when she found that there were unread messages.
"Lin Li is back from the wilderness."
Su Yue saw the message from Lin Li. She browsed it quickly, then picked up her bag and walked out of the office. Sent another message to Lin Li.
“In the afternoon, it rained heavily. Did you get wet from the rain when you were hunting exotic animals in the wilderness?”
Lin Li was eating ice cream and was about to pick up the remote control to change the channel when the cell phone placed aside rang.
Putting the ice cream in his hand on the coffee table, Lin Li picked up his phone to check it, and then replied to Su Yue.
"I didn't get wet from the rain. I saw something was wrong with the weather, so I found a place to hide in advance..."
"Da, da, da..."
The heels of the shoes stepped on the ground, making a crisp sound. Su Yue walked out of the corridor and walked towards the carport where the electric vehicle was parked.
When she saw Lin Li's reply that he had not been exposed to the rain, her worries immediately dissipated, and then she talked about the floods she had seen on the news before.
“A few hours of rain actually caused floods. Something is indeed wrong.
I don’t know what caused it at the moment. I’ll wait for the investigation report from the relevant departments! Lin Li simply replied without revealing the information he received from Liu Jialin.
After talking about the flood, Su Yue came to her car. She put her phone back into her bag, and then rolled out her white Little Sheep electric car from the carport.
"Teacher Su, it just started raining. There will be water in some places on the road. You should be more careful when you go back!" A patrolling security guard passed by and saw Su who was about to get off work. Month, enthusiastic reminder to.
"Yes." Su Yue nodded with a smile, then started the electric car and drove towards the school gate.
Because the rain just stopped not long ago, there will be some water accumulation in some places on the road.
After Su Yue came out of school, she drove towards her old classmate's flower shop.
She saw some places with standing water along the way. For safety reasons, she would slow down the car.
.........
In a flower shop on Wangxi Road in the East District, a tall girl with short shoulder-length hair, an oval face, a well-proportioned figure, and a very beautiful girl was sitting at the checkout counter, bored. Inside.
"Hey..."
A sigh sounded in the quiet flower shop. Wang Ling held her cheek with her right hand and looked at the pots of flowers on the shelves, feeling a little depressed.
At this time, a white little sheep electric car stopped on the street outside the flower shop.
After a while, a beautiful figure with a pretty face, clear curves and charming temperament walked into the flower shop.
Wang Ling heard the movement at the door and immediately turned her head to look. Then her eyes suddenly lit up and she immediately stood up to greet him.
“You’re here!”
Su Yue looked at her good friend and said with a smile, “Why did you look so depressed just now?”
Wang Ling listened. When Su Yue mentioned this matter, the smile on her face faded slightly, and then she said without interest.
"After I finished my meal at noon, I rushed to the store immediately, cleaned the store and reopened it... After that, throughout the afternoon, I have made one business in total so far."
Su Yue said in surprise, "We only made one business?"
"Yes...otherwise why would I be a little depressed?" Wang Ling said.
Su Yue thought for a while and comforted herself, "It rained most of the afternoon, so it would be good to do some business.
And because of road construction, your flowers The store has been closed for so long, and those customers who came to buy flowers in the past may not know that your store has reopened.
After a while, when those previous customers know that your flower shop has reopened, the business will definitely get better..."
Wang Ling felt really depressed after hearing what Su Yue said. It’s gotten a lot better, “I hope it’s as you said! Come on, let's find a place to have dinner. "
"Eh? ! ! ! "Su Yue, who had just arrived at the flower shop for a while, saw that Wang Ling was about to close the flower shop and said quickly.
"Is it going to close now? There is still some time before dark, so we can stay open for a while..."
Wang Ling shook her head, "That's it for today! It rained in the afternoon and there were no people on the street. If we continue to operate for a while, no one will come to buy things..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the two girls walked into the flower shop and said, "Boss, bring us two pots of roses."
Wang Ling felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. At this time, Su Yue hurriedly said.
"Why are you standing there stupidly? Go and pack the bags for the guests!"
"Yes." Wang Ling nodded quickly, and then went to get roses for the guests with a smile on her face.
One business was done in the afternoon, and two businesses came in at this time. Although the money was not much, Wang Ling's heart was completely filled with joy.
Su Yue looked at the busy Wang Ling and couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face.
When she saw the depressed expression on the other party's face earlier, she actually felt quite unhappy because she knew that this flower shop was one of the few times Wang Ling had started her business and was successful.
Due to unfortunate road construction, the flower shop had to close down for a period of time.
From the perspective of business now, if the business cannot recover to what it was before, this will have a huge impact on Wang Ling.
Just after sending away the two customers who had bought flowers, three more customers came, which made Wang Ling, who had planned to get off work early, very happy.
What happened next was even more unexpected to Wang Ling, because customers came one after another to buy flowers, and Su Yue on the side stepped forward to help entertain the guests.
After a while, the store finally became quiet again.
Wang Ling, who had been busy for a while, wiped some beads of sweat from her forehead and looked at Su Yue with a smile, who also had a bright smile on her face.
“You are really my lucky star!”
After saying that, Wang Ling took a step forward, spread her arms, hugged Su Yue, and then pressed her lips on Su Yue’s fair skin. on the cheek.
"Yeah~" Su Yue screamed after being kissed by Wang Ling. Seeing Su Yue's reaction, Wang Ling covered her mouth and giggled.
"You are going to treat us to dinner tonight." Su Yue looked at her good friend who couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, then wiped the area where he had been kissed with the back of his hand, and then said with a smile. .
"Okay! Just choose whatever you want to eat tonight..." Wang Ling said.
The two were talking and laughing, and the sun had already set at this time, and the street lights were on.
After a while, Su Yue and Wang Ling closed the flower shop and went to a nearby restaurant to eat.
.........
In the suburbs, in an abandoned warehouse, a figure wrapped in bandages stood at the door.
"Why don't you answer the phone?" The leader of the Black Crow Organization, who led the team to Rongcheng this time, said to himself with a frown.
"Beep..."
More than ten seconds passed after the call was dialed, and the person on the other side finally answered.
"Hello?" A woman's voice came from the mobile phone.
"Are you busy?" the leader of the Black Crow Organization asked.
"I just went to the bathroom." The woman with a slightly hoarse voice replied, "Why did you call me?"
"I encountered some trouble here." Hei The leader of the Crow Organization spoke.
"Huh?" The woman with a slightly hoarse voice asked with concern after hearing what the other party said.
"Didn't you just arrive in Rongcheng? Why did you run into trouble so quickly? Is it because those guys are difficult to deal with?"
"Mr. Xu is more difficult to deal with than the rumors say..." The leader of the dark organization said, and then he added another sentence.
"But compared to dealing with Mr. Xu, there is someone else who poses a greater threat to me this time."
"Who? Do they have helpers?" The voice was slightly soft. some husky woman asked.
"That person should not be with them..." the leader of the Black Crow Organization said.
"Tell me the specific situation in detail." The woman with a slightly hoarse voice frowned and asked.
