The call started without any sound. It lasted for more than ten seconds before a deep male voice appeared: "Can I still trust you?"

Zhou Jinru said calmly: "Think about it again."

"There are some things that I still can't figure out, but my old friend is willing to believe in you."

"Um."

"I will call you again later today."

The male voice on the other end of the call paused for a few seconds: "You can refuse."

Then he hung up.

This endless call made Zhou Jinru fall into deep thought. Who was so hesitant and had to choose himself?

"Old friend, you are willing to trust me, but you can't. Who are you?"

Guigui hid outside the door and secretly observed inside. Seeing that Zhou Jinru had finished the call, he crept over.

"Doctor, what do you think?"

"I'm much better, thank you."

Turtle's little face burst into a bright smile: "That's great."

Sure enough, the little girl can heal the soul, Zhou Jinru quietly gave a thumbs up.

When he and Turtle walked out of the room, it was already noon. They went to the cafeteria to eat, and the operators had been notified that they were about to leave Victoria.

"Doctor, are we leaving soon?"

What Zhou Jinru didn't expect was that the first person who came to him turned out to be Lapland. In the past few days, Lapland had been hanging out with people from Penguin Logistics and rarely stayed in the hotel, so Zhou Jinru didn't pay much attention to it.

to her.

Her question was confirmed, the Rhode Island operators were indeed leaving.

Zhou Jinru didn't see Texas and Lapland in the sitcom, and even the capable angels didn't know where they were. He could only say that the city simulated in the dream was so large that only a few people could enter.

Main plot.

Chen came over with a dinner plate, sat opposite Zhou Jinru, watched Lapland leave, and said seriously: "If the doctor has carefully studied the style of Penguin Logistics, he should know what kind of role they play in the sitcom."

"What?"

"Street gangs operate in a gray area."

Zhou Jinru said thoughtfully: "Then I should go find Xing Xiong to understand the situation."

"What are you talking about?"

Xingxiong came over with a bowl of Dongguo special noodles, sat next to Chen, and placed a can of drink in Chen's hand.

Zhou Jinru took a look at the drink note. It was a low-alcohol drink, similar to beer, and one of Victoria's specialty drinks.

"I remember you don't like drinking?"

Chen casually opened the tab of the can: "I just don't like high-strength alcohol. Getting drunk will delay things and affect my judgment, but Ah Xing can do it. If the doctor is interested, he can compete with her."

Zhou Jinru looked away. He couldn't drink, so he wouldn't participate in this kind of thing. The so-called showdown was that Xingxiong drank on the table while he slept under the table.

Chen took a sip of the drink, fiddled with the food gently with chopsticks, and said casually: "The doctor is asking about Penguin Logistics. Ah Xing, do you have any information there?"

Star Bear was eating, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he recalled: "It's not a big deal. The members of Penguin Logistics have limited participation in the sitcom. Only Croissant has appeared a few times, and everyone else is basically doing it."

They seem to have no interest in this public performance."

This is a bit inconsistent with the behavior of the brilliant Penguin Logistics. When did they become so low-key?

Chen ate a little and didn't speak much during the whole meal. It wasn't until Zhou Jinru drank a bowl of soup after eating that she spoke: "Doctor, do you have time in the afternoon to accompany me..."

"Doctor, it turns out you are here. I finally found you."

Shi Huaiya's voice came from the door of the cafeteria. The decibel level was so high that it covered up half of what Chen said, making it impossible for her to continue talking.

Zhou Jinru asked doubtfully: "Ah Chen?"

"No, it's nothing, doctor, I'm full."

She stood up holding the dinner plate, her shoulders still strong, but her back looked slightly bleak.

Zhou Jinru narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that Chen wanted to say something to him. He managed to muster up the courage, but was finally interrupted by Shi Huaiya. He was discouraged. It was not so easy to regain his courage again.

Xing Xiong quickly put down his chopsticks and chased Chen away. Shi Huaiya was already approaching. The little tiger was sweating profusely. He took Zhou Jinru's hand and said quickly: "Doctor, come with me quickly. If you are later, it will be too late!"

Zhou Jinru was stunned: "Now? In such a hurry, where are we going?"

"Come with me first. If you have anything to say, tell me upstairs."

As a last resort, he had no choice but to follow Shi Huaiya first. The two of them walked through the hotel lobby and went straight to the extended commercial vehicle parked on the roadside.

As the door closed and the vehicle slowly drove onto the road, Zhou Jinru repeated the question just now. Shihuaiya drank half a bottle of water and explained: "I also just got the news that the venue of the party has been temporarily changed. It is not the previous one."

It’s a small military base.”

"Where?"

Shi Huaiya pointed to the top of her head: "There."

Zhou Jinru was surprised: "Ah?!"

There is no doubt that the place Shihuaiya was referring to was Little Londinium, the floating city that he had known about before but had not paid attention to.

"No way, we really want to take the aircraft and go to the party above?"

Shi Huaiya said nervously: "It's my first time too."

What kind of party would be able to achieve this level of performance?

Zhou Jinru shook his head: "I need a formal suit."

"I have prepared ten sets in total. Doctors can choose freely."

Obviously, the little tiger came prepared.

He turned around and looked behind him. There was a row of men's formal clothes hanging in the closet behind him. Not to mention the style and appearance, the cost alone was enough to make people tear up the bill.

When attending a party of this size, no matter how expensive it is, the formal attire worn is disposable and is thrown away as soon as you take it off. There is no concept of reuse.

"Thank you, Shi Huaiya."

Shi Huaiya blushed: "Can't you call me Beatrix?"

Zhou Jinru said unexpectedly: "I thought you didn't care about this."

"I care a lot, I really care, I care a lot!"

Shi Huaiya put a hand on her chest and assumed the posture of a young lady: "How could I not care? She's not the street dragon. She's so slow..."

"Beatrix, can you tell me the general process of starting the party?"

After being interrupted by Zhou Jinru, Shi Huaiya's face turned redder and her voice softened: "Oh, okay..."

…

…

Going to the floating city is not an easy task. First, they have to go to the temporary airport arranged by the Victoria government and take the aircraft with a special invitation. During this process, they have to go through several security checks. They are not allowed to carry any weapons, not even a screwdriver.

Can't.

To Zhou Jinru's surprise, his revolver was not found and passed through the metal detector smoothly.

Since the guests attending the party all had very high status, no manual search took place. In other words, Zhou Jinru boarded the aircraft with a revolver.

Shi Huaiya looked at Zhou Jinru in formal attire, even taking care of his hair, and couldn't help but be fascinated.

The styles of those ten formal suits were very different, including the deep and low-key Victorian gentleman's dress, the romantic and classical Letania dress, the mysterious and graceful Yanguo dress, and the heroic Casimir knight dress, but Zhou Jinru chose the

A retro formal suit from two centuries ago.

Shi Huaiya subconsciously said: "A Guang has a special liking for ancient style clothes?"

Zhou Jinru smiled and said, "I don't think I would be suitable to wear a formal suit with any country's characteristics. Why don't I just stick to this retro style? If you insist on giving me a reason, just think of me as an antique."

The aircraft was very stable under their feet and could not feel any bumps. Zhou Jinru knew that they would soon arrive at the floating city. In Little Londinium, many unimaginable things might happen.

"Beatrix, do you still like your current life?"

Shi Huaiya was dressed in a fiery red evening dress, which combined the softness and restraint of the Yan Kingdom with the nobility and beauty of Victoria. Her long dark golden hair was combed into big waves and draped over her shoulders. There were all kinds of amorous feelings in her every frown and smile.

Zhou Jinru was quite intoxicated.

"What aspect is Aguang referring to?"

Zhou Jinru sat upright, put his hands on his legs, and looked forward. His movements made Shi Huaiya feel serious and old-fashioned.

"Life in Rhode Island is busier than that at the Guards Bureau. I'm considering giving you a salary increase."

Shi Huaiya glanced at Zhou Jinru, and the charm in it was like a bullet hitting his heart.

"Aguang, you want to say that the past has been overturned, so now is a new beginning?"

Zhou Jinru lamented that he was not firm enough in his heart, and nodded: "Yes, isn't there a new chapter?"
