Chapter 228: The Heart of the Skull
Wang Liu Mei was awakened by a phone call at 3:00 am.
"Miss Wang, I want to make a deal with you." The man on the other end of the phone was breathing heavily and in a hurry, she had never seen the other side so out of control, "The situation is urgent, and the price is not a problem, you can ask for anything. For the sake of our friendship for many years, I hope you can do your best this time."
"Get it straight, it's three in the morning on my end, do you have any sense of begging for help?" She closed her eyes and let out a low nasal sound impatiently to show her displeasure, "Give you one more chance to organize your words. If your answer can't make me feel satisfied, I'll hang up."
"… Liu Mei, do me a favor."
"That's more like it." Wang Liu Mei languidly supported her body and rubbed her sleepy eyes, "Are your wives around? Is it convenient to turn on the video?"
Wang Liu Mei rolled out of bed, grabbed a jacket, and draped it over her thin silk camisole.
"Okay." The video came on and a familiar face appeared in the middle of the screen, the background was probably his own bedroom, "Huh, Liu Mei, you're not at home?"
"On the Wheel of Angels to choose a coffin for myself." Wang Liu Mei yawned, "After spending people so much money to build this thing, you should at least have to show some sincerity, right? As the chief, how could you go home to have a rest?"
"Sorry, Liu Mei, I'm really not in the mood to joke with you right now." Ade sent a link over as if he didn't see anything, "Watch this video first, and we'll talk afterwards."
Ade's serious attitude made Wang Liu Mei too embarrassed to chat. She patted her cheeks hard to drive away the last trace of sleep, clicked on the link, and watched it intently. The video was short, and the progress bar was about to come to an end in less than five minutes.
"… We will uncover the conspiracy of Lingus under the leadership of Mr. Mufti Navue Erin and return a clear sky to all mankind!"
"Uh, what should I say?" Wang Liu Mei, who had watched the video from the beginning to the end, turned off the video and looked at the man on the screen, "It's really worthy of your daughter, or rather, it's really worthy of being taught by those women in your family?"
"Mineva is not the one who—"
"Mineva is not a deep-hearted girl, right?" Wang Liu Mei squinted and waved her hand, "Okay, okay, stop this kind of self-deceiving words."
"Mineva, she robbed an MS, and also abducted the P.L.A.N.T. ambassador's daughter. Bright's son drove Gundam to chase her and then didn't come back." Ade ignored Wang Liu Mei's teasing and went on to say, "The only clue now is this person called Mufti, I want you to help me find out the details of this person. In case someone wants to use Mineva against me, she will be in danger."
"I don't think you're too calm right now." Wang Liu Mei put away her flirtatious expression, "Making deals with people with brain defects usually doesn't pay much, in order to maintain my good reputation in the industry, please prove that you are now sane first, otherwise, forgive me for refusing to deal. So answer me, Ade, apart from breaking off the father-daughter relationship with you, what is the next most important message Mineva reveals in this video?"
Ade had actually found his thoughts a bit confused for a long time, but he had no chance to organize his mood, and now he finally started to force himself to reorganize his thoughts under Wang Liu Mei's rigid demand.
"First, she is an accessory." Ade's subdued look symbolized that his intelligence was beginning to return to normal levels, "She is always emphasizing Mufti's leadership position, and even implies the authenticity of the character by emphasizing this person's gender, indicating that she has always been thinking of a way back for herself. "
"Well, that's good." Wang Liu Mei twisted a strand of long hair around her fingertips and played with it, "And the second?"
"Second, she didn't reveal exactly what the conspiracy was." Ade's eyes began to wander, "As a debut, that's not impactful and convincing enough. One of the reasonable considerations is that she is concerned about my reputation and doesn't want to give me trouble, so her purpose is really simply to … break off the father-daughter relationship with me. "
Pa, pa, pa. Wang Liu Mei slowly applauded with a smile on her face, "This is a small step in the history of mankind, but a big step for Mr. Self-Deception to face his daughter squarely, congratulations. Now you know why those few in your family don't care, right?"
"How do you know they all don't care?" Ade looked at her with a surprised expression.
"If they are willing to intervene, do you need me to show my face?" Wang Liu Mei stifled a grunt, "You're lucky, I happen to have heard of Mufti."
"Mufti seems to be the leader of a secret society. The association itself is not very large, so it has not been mentioned to you." Wang Liu Mei explained with interest, "The Halevy family seems to have dealt with them, they should know more than me. I can help you find out."
"A secret society?" Ade was dumbfounded, "It's already U.C. 0096, and people are still running secret societies?"
"Aren't you also the president of a secret society? Where do you get the right to talk about others?" Wang Liu Mei and Ade's communication lines were top-notch encrypted, so she had no qualms about speaking up, "You and a bunch of bigwigs are silently manipulating the fate of mankind behind the scenes, fooling the self-righteous powerful to send money to you to build the Wheel of Angels, and an unknown number of downline members like me are foolish enough to serve as your trustees, right? "
"Not much, just you as a trustee." Ade replied honestly, "You have the highest ideological awareness."
Wang Liu Mei felt both annoyed and funny, and even a little happy.
Ade never gave Wang Liu Mei any specific details about this so-called secret society in order to protect her, and the only core members she knew were Ade, Bright Noa, Queen Diana, Haman Karn, and Nunnally, who never attended.
The purpose of this society is to protect the continuation of the human race, and the name of the society is LOGOS. Ade stubbornly interpreted it as "rational". But it is said that the name LOGOS was given by Nunnally, LOGOS in the Semitic religion also has the meaning of the Son of God. In this case, LOGOS is quite meaningful as a name.
But Wang Liu Mei doesn't need and is not interested in worrying about these things. She is a realistic woman, and her relationship with Ade is only a simple relationship of interest. "Louise and her man will also come to choose coffins for themselves tomorrow, I will be reluctant to stay another day. and help you get more information from them by the way."
"Thanks a lot." Ade nodded sincerely, "And the charge?"
There is only a pure transaction between the two, Wang Liu Mei has always grasped her role quite accurately, never bringing in any personal feelings, "Money for me and for you are not too much meaning. It's to save your honey girl, you need to show some sincerity."
"Three days?" Ade asked tentatively.
"Seven days." Wang Liu Mei pleasantly stretched, "Do not ask me how can you squeeze seven days out, that is your business, and now this is a seller's market. But I am not a devil after all, you are allowed to pay in installments."
"… deal."
