IRCDM Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Feudalism – I Heard You Found a New Love

Black Market Management Office.

Pei Zhong was trying to teach Jinbao how to play a shooting game. The poor little housekeeping robot was forced to abandon its beloved rag, staring dazedly at the crosshair on the virtual screen. When it heard Liang Huan’s voice, it burst into tears.

“Master, Jinbao doesn’t like shooting games.” It hugged Liang Huan’s leg tightly, not even as tall as Liang Huan’s calf, but with considerable strength. “Jinbao misses Master Li Yao. Jinbao likes playing garbage elimination games with Master Li Yao.”

“You can go find him tonight.” Liang Huan bent down to pick it up, speaking earnestly, “You are a robot, don’t cry at the drop of a hat.”

Jinbao obediently closed its tear system: “Okay.”

“Remember to clean the management office before you go.” Liang Huan smiled and put it down.

Jinbao happily said, “Goodbye Master, goodbye Mr. Pei Zhong.”

Then it fled this terrifying place as fast as it could.

“There’s no need for you to come again.” Pei Zhong said, “I won’t reveal any information.”

“You misunderstand.” Liang Huan smiled, placing a chip on the table. “The reason I kept you around was firstly, I suspected you were related to the release of the Black Market pollution source, and secondly, I wanted to investigate the ‘Mr.’ above you. But now there’s no need. You can go.”

Pei Zhong was stunned: “You’re willing to let me go?”

Liang Huan pushed the chip towards him: “I never force a deal.”

Pei Zhong was silent for a few seconds, then picked up the chip, glanced at Liang Huan, stood up, and left without hesitation.

Deng Meng was guarding the door. Seeing Liang Huan come out, he couldn’t help asking, “Brother Liang, should we send a couple of people to follow him?”

“No need,” Liang Huan said.

Deng Meng was a little puzzled. He had long realized how much his Brother Liang valued talent. Letting go of a genius like Pei Zhong, whose physical and mental strength were both 3S, even if he was a disabled genius, was like cutting flesh off Liang Huan’s bones.

But Liang Huan didn’t explain to him.

Military assignments usually have time limits. Pei Zhong has been in the Black Market safe and sound for so long. Even if he goes back, things won’t be so smooth.

He said to Deng Meng, “Tell the patrol team to keep a close watch during this time. If any mercenaries cause trouble, don’t be soft.”

“Okay.” Deng Meng handed him the document in his hand. “Brother Liang, everything is normal at the underground laboratory. It’s just that Mu Bo keeps wanting to see you.”

Liang Huan took the document and went upstairs without looking back. “Just say I’m not available.”

Deng Meng couldn’t help sighing. With Li Yao gone, the whole family really fell apart. Can a successful career and a happy family really not coexist?

The Eastern Third District’s Administrative Court was located on the east side of the Third District. The magnificent building looked somewhat similar to the Kai Angsa Club from the outside. The difference was that the staff inside weren’t so dedicated. Geng Lin, as the First Secretary of the Third District Administrative Court, handled most of the Third District’s trivial matters since Ling Zao was away all year round.

Geng Lin was a stern-looking middle-aged man. Compared to Ling Zao, who looked slick, he looked more like the head of a district. He was often mistaken for Ling Zao when they went out together, so Ling Zao didn’t like him either, and often made things difficult for him. He did the most work in the Administrative Court and got paid the least, but in order to support his family, he had to endure it.

But he didn’t expect Ling Zao to suddenly die.

Now it was even worse. Condolence communications from various districts, accountability documents from the military, reporters who didn’t mind the excitement blocking the door… Geng Lin’s already heavy workload was even worse. Every time he worked overtime until late at night, he looked at the traffic outside with a desolate gaze, wanting to jump out of the window and end it all.

Since Ling Zao died, he had been looking forward to the military assigning a new district chief. He would submit his resignation immediately. But as time passed, the new district chief didn’t arrive, but instead, he waited for investigators from the military.

After several rounds of interrogation, Geng Lin was even more exhausted.

Just like now, he sat behind a desk submerged in virtual files, staring blankly at the brand-new appointment order in front of him. His rusty brain clicked a few times before it finally came to life. His dry lips moved, and he read the name on it: “Liao Yuan, Liang Huan… Assigned to the Open Authorization Department?”

The two young men in front of him seemed to have very good tempers. The one in front was thirty-five or six years old, refined and upright. The one next to him was even younger, only in his early twenties, and was so handsome that it was outrageous, looking at him with a smile.

“The work of the Open Authorization Department is the most complicated, let me see.” He drooped his eyelids, put the appointment order aside, found a box from a pile of seals in the drawer, pushed away the stacked files next to him, and said weakly, “Go, find an office yourself and hang up a sign.”

Liang Huan opened the box. The seals inside were covered with inkpad, and the handles were scratched by mechanical fingers.

“That’s it?” Liao Yuan looked at Geng Lin in disbelief, “Doesn’t the appointment order need to be checked again?”

“No need.” Geng Lin threw the appointment order haphazardly into the virtual files next to him. “People sent by the military are the most reassuring, go, go.”

Liao Yuan simply couldn’t accept it. He slammed the table. “What the hell is going on with your Administrative Court? The entry procedures are so sloppy. Aren’t you Ling Zao’s first secretary? Why are you so irresponsible!”

This was simply completely different from the Administrative Court he had imagined.

Geng Lin said calmly in a pile of documents, “Minister Liao, calm down a bit, go to work quickly.”

Liang Huan smiled and stopped the about-to-explode Liao Yuan, and smiled, “Secretary Geng, we’re new here and not familiar with the Third District Administrative Court. Would it be convenient to take us to take a look?”

His attitude was gentle and polite. Geng Lin raised his eyes and looked at him for two seconds, sighed faintly, and stood up from the dilapidated chair. “Follow me.”

The inside of the building, which looked magnificent from the outside, was completely different.

Most of the offices in the building were abandoned. The desks and chairs were covered with a thick layer of dust. The walls and ceilings became mottled and old because no one was active. Administrative auxiliary robots and external chip machines for printers were piled randomly in the corners, unattended. The only new thing was the lights on the ceiling, which were on even in the daytime, illuminating the dilapidated office brightly.

“Why are the lights on in the daytime?” Liao Yuan choked on the dust, trying to raise his hand to fan away the musty smell.

“Ling Zao ordered them to be replaced just before he was assassinated. They have to be kept on all the time, otherwise the Third District Administrative Court won’t be able to use up the power supply.” Geng Lin took them out. “The Third District Administrative Court building has a total of eighteen floors. Originally, there were eighteen departments, but Ling Zao thought that so many departments were not very useful, so he cut eight of them. Later, he couldn’t pay the wages, so he cut six more. Now the whole building only has four departments left, one, three, five, and seven, with a total of eighty people including me. Except for the tax department on the seventh floor, which is still operating normally and directly managed by Ling Zao, the work of other departments will be handed over to me.”

Liao Yuan was furious: “I pay Ling Zao so much tax every year, and your Administrative Court does so little work with so few people?!”

Geng Lin said numbly, “You have to ask Ling Zao about this. We’re just acting on orders.”

Liao Yuan was so angry that he was about to take out a gun and shoot him, but Liang Huan grabbed him. “He’s just working under Ling Zao. If you want to settle the score, you have to go find Ling Zao.”

“Ling Zao is dead, who am I going to find? The mercenaries from the Mercenary Base snatched resources back from the outer districts, exchanged them for Condensed Coins at the exchange office and had to pay taxes to the base, and then had to pay taxes to Ling Zao again. Damn it, I have to beg for electricity for my canteen. The empty houses in his office building are lit every day, and it’s difficult to get an Open Authorization from him. He keeps asking me to spend money——” Liao Yuan glared at Liang Huan and said angrily, “If he really had some ability, I wouldn’t be so angry. I was actually fooled around by such a fool!”

He looked a little fragile.

Liang Huan patted his shoulder comfortingly: “If the Mercenary Base and the Black Market didn’t give him so much money every year, how could he stay in the Kai Angsa Club every day? Fortunately, he’s dead.”

“It’s really cheap for him to die!” Liao Yuan gritted his teeth. “No wonder no one wants to come to the Third District Administrative Court!”

Geng Lin said upon hearing this, “The money given by the Mercenary Base and the Black Market is not enough. Ling Zao takes out loans from the First and Second Districts and the military every year. Now the Third District’s foreign debt is higher than the buildings outside. Whoever comes will take over this mess.”

Liao Yuan took a deep breath and dragged Liang Huan away. “This is the first time I’ve seen someone rushing to be a sucker!”

He understood why Geng Lin couldn’t wait to shove that appointment order in just now.

Geng Lin quickly blocked them in front of them, but the speed of his speech was still half-dead and stable. “Two new ministers, the appointment order has been successfully entered into the Eastern District Base Administrative Court system. If you want to leave, you need to submit a resignation report.”

Liao Yuan: “What if I don’t submit it?”

“If you don’t submit it, you’ll be blacklisted in the Eastern District Base and expelled from the base.” Geng Lin said slowly, “The Administrative Court headquarters has a very low approval rate for resignation applications. You two should stay.”

Liang Huan: “…”

When Ling Zao took out the appointment order, he was reluctant. He thought it was because the other party didn’t want to delegate power. Now that he thought about it, he probably didn’t want people to discover that his Administrative Court was just a ridiculous makeshift team. The existence of the Third District Administrative Court was useless except to help Ling Zao collect money.

Geng Lin took them to Ling Zao’s office. “The Open Authorization Department of the Administrative Court has the power second only to the District Chief’s order. You two can work here. You can call me anytime if you need any information.”

He floated back to the small secretary’s office next door, half-dead.

Liang Huan and Liao Yuan were speechless.

“Ha.” Liao Yuan laughed, and only managed to squeeze out after holding it in for a long time, “This is simply a joke!”

The current situation far exceeded Liang Huan’s imagination, but he was more calm than Liao Yuan: “This matter is indeed absurd, but now that things have come to this, it may not be an opportunity for us.”

Liao Yuan looked at him: “What do you mean?”

“Your Mercenary Base, my Black Market, these two places account for two-thirds of the total population of the Third District. The remaining ordinary residents are under the jurisdiction of the Administrative Court. Now no one is willing to take over this hot potato. The bottom line is that they are afraid of mercenaries and Black Market criminals, these desperadoes.” Liang Huan paused. “But if we take over this mess, the Third District will be completely under our control. When the time comes, whether it’s power supply or entry and exit orders, won’t we have the final say?”

“But this is too uneconomical.” Liao Yuan frowned.

“No, this is quite economical.” Liang Huan pressed him into the chair. “Those high foreign debts were borrowed by Ling Zao in the name of the Third District Administrative Court. Now that Ling Zao is dead, these debts have become bad debts for the military and the First and Second Districts. Even if the entire Third District is sold, it won’t be enough to pay off the debts. Liao Yuan, logically speaking, given our identities, the military wouldn’t allow us to enter the Administrative Court.”

Liao Yuan’s mind turned around, and he suddenly realized: “We take over, these debts will come back to life, they need someone to pay Ling Zao’s debts, so they will definitely turn a blind eye.”

“That’s right.” Liang Huan said, “In simple terms, we use these debts to buy the freedom to enter and exit the outer districts and the power distribution of the Black Market and the Mercenary Base, and it’s justified.”

“!” Liao Yuan grabbed his shoulder. “It’s worth it! Anyway, the debtor is the boss. When and how much to pay doesn’t depend on our faces. As long as we can freely enter and exit the outer districts, can’t we earn as much money as we want!”

Liang Huan smiled slightly and pushed away his arm without leaving a trace: “But we can’t be too happy too early. This is just a temporary expedient for the military. When we earn enough money, or the Third District gets better and they feel the time is right——they will definitely attack the Third District and reap the benefits.”

Liao Yuan instantly woke up: “Yes, that’s right, we are not people from the Administrative Court after all.”

“So we don’t have much time to use. We have to grow as much as possible within the time range that the military can tolerate. When they react one day and want to get rid of you and me——” Liang Huan looked into his eyes. “They will find that it’s too late.”

Liao Yuan’s eyes became a little fanatical: “You kid is really capable.”

Liang Huan said: “The strength of the Mercenary Base is the foundation for me to dare to do this. Liao Yuan, I hope you can understand that the appointment order was not something I intentionally dragged you into, but I had to do it, otherwise you would not be able to see me.”

“Don’t mention these things, I understand.” Liao Yuan said, “This trick might not work if you change someone, but I, Liao Yuan, am born to be unafraid of death, this thing can be done! But are we really going to work here in the future?”

“Merging the administrative areas of the Black Market and the Mercenary Base with the Third District Administrative Court is the best way at present.” Liang Huan said, “The administrative building left by Ling Zao is about the same distance from the Black Market and the Mercenary Base.”

Liao Yuan pondered for a moment: “Okay.”

A few days later, the Black Market Management Office and the Mercenary Base Office moved to the Administrative Court building together. Liang Huan and Liao Yuan also began to gradually take over the relevant affairs of the Third District Administrative Court. As they expected, whether it was the military or the Administrative Court headquarters, they were in a state of laissez-faire regarding this matter, which was essentially non-compliant, and only sent documents ordering the district chief candidate to be determined as soon as possible.

Liang Huan was very modest and refused to do anything. Liao Yuan declined many times, but with the bait of fully controlling the Open Authorization hanging in front of him, he finally agreed to serve as the district chief of the Eastern Third District. The entire Mercenary Base almost boiled.

Liang Huan sat in the vice-district chief’s office, listening to the noise outside, and slowly took a sip of tea.

Ling Xuan sat opposite him, her hawk-like eyes staring at Liang Huan: “Mr. Liang, the candidates for the people transferred from the Black Market to the Administrative Court have been determined.”

Liang Huan opened the list. In addition to Ling Xuan, Yue Hang, Deng Meng, and Lu Biao Chen Jia, Su Murong and Wang Le Ren were also on the list.

“Dr. Su said that the abandoned laboratories in the Administrative Court have better conditions, and Dean Wang needs to provide medical support to the mercenaries. He doesn’t dare to live in the mercenary building with the doctors, so he can only live here temporarily.”

“Mm.” Liang Huan turned a page. “What about the Mercenary Base?”

“Many people have come over from Liao Yuan’s side. Most of the matters are handled by You Zhao Chen, and there is also a girl named Jiang Chuxia. The others are all here to be able to freely enter and exit the outer districts.” Ling Xuan paused. “Mr. Liang, Liao Yuan is bold, loyal, but impulsive and lacks strategy. Long-term cooperation with him is not an easy task. And we seem to be a little… impatient recently.”

“I know, Liao Yuan is not someone who can achieve great things, but those mercenaries trust him very much. Moreover, he has some connections with the military and Dawn Group behind him. It is more convenient to put him in the open.” Liang Huan said unhurriedly, “As for being impatient——Ms. Ling, if Ling Zao is still alive, we can take our time, but as soon as he dies, we can only take risks, because opportunities are fleeting.”

Ling Xuan sighed: “That’s true. If we don’t take action this time, the military will send new people over, and the Black Market will probably be suppressed all the time.”

Liang Huan smiled: “You don’t seem to be in good spirits recently. Are you still thinking about Lou Chu?”

Ling Xuan shook her head: “Lou Chu did such outrageous things, he deserved to die. I’m just worried about the Mercenary Base. Mr. Liang, compared with their forces, the Black Market is too weak. What if Liao Yuan wants to attack you——”

“He doesn’t dare for the time being.” Liang Huan said firmly, “The Black Market is indeed not as good as the mercenaries, but the population of the Black Market is five times that of the Mercenary Base, and our business has low risks, unlike mercenaries who do tasks and fill them with their lives. The Black Market and the Mercenary Base are like a couple now. The mercenaries need our money and equipment support, and we need the mercenaries’ armed protection. Strength and weakness are temporary. Ultimately, we have to become a family.”

Ling Xuan understood: “But you still have to pay attention to safety.”

Liang Huan smiled: “Don’t worry.”

He continued to flip through the list in his hand and asked casually, “Li Yao didn’t come over?”

Ling Xuan said: “Li Yao is the chief training officer of the Mercenary Base and is now staying at the Mercenary Base to help train our Shenfeng and patrol team.”

“That’s good,” Liang Huan said.

Ling Xuan said: “Mr. Liang, you and him were married after all. If we can win Li Yao over to our side, it will be very beneficial for us to fully take over the Mercenary Base later.”

Liang Huan was noncommittal: “We’ll talk about it later. Don’t let private matters affect public affairs.”

——

Mercenary Base training ground.

A dozen people wearing protective clothing were chased into the sandy ground by Heteromorphs. The mental fluctuations in the air were unusually strong. The screams of horror and curses almost drowned out the Heteromorphs.

Li Yao sat on the roof of an off-road vehicle, irritably twisting out the cigarette in his hand, and roared: “Are your brains eaten by zombies! If your mental power is low, won’t you forcibly close the mental source! Do you have to wait for the Heteromorph to kiss you?! Are you using the protective equipment to play with——”

Only then did someone open the protective equipment in a panic, but as soon as they opened it, they were slapped away by the Heteromorph.

Li Yao couldn’t help cursing: “You have to stand here and open it! Are the screws growing below your waist and can’t you move!”

The man rolled and crawled into the sandy nest. Seeing that the Heteromorph was about to rush in and swallow him, Li Yao jumped out of the car and shook off the wristband, turning it into a light sniper rifle, and shot the Heteromorph’s brain core. The huge Heteromorph directly smashed into the sand pile, and the humans who were fleeing everywhere looked at each other.

Li Yao took a deep breath: “I understand that this is the first time you have seen Heteromorphs, but babies, you are going to risk your lives in the outer districts, not going on a picnic, can you be more serious?”

The person who crawled out of the sandy nest unfastened the hood of the protective clothing and said muffledly, “Sorry, Instructor Li, I will definitely work hard next time.”

“There won’t be a next time in a real situation.” Li Yao looked at him with a headache. “Mi Hui, you are not suitable to go to the outer districts.”

Mi Hui pulled the suspender skirt in the protective clothing and said in a low voice: “But I heard that you can earn a lot in the outer districts~ I finally grabbed this spot, and I passed the physical test, Instructor Li~~”

Li Yao resisted the urge to punch him in the face and roared irritably: “Yue Hang? Call Yue Hang to me!”

Yue Hang had just led people to successfully kill a Heteromorph during training. When he came over, his protective clothing was covered in blood. Seeing this, he said: “Instructor Li, do you need me?”

Li Yao raised his finger to point at Mi Hui, and then pointed at the others: “Take your people back to me. They are not suitable for entering the outer districts at all. They will die if they go! It’s really hard for Liang Huan to find these messy people. What’s the matter, let them line up to deliver takeaway to the Heteromorphs in the outer districts?”

Yue Hang choked on him: “Instructor Li, the Shenfeng team and the patrol team are going to the outer districts. Mr. Liang said that these people are members of the reserve team just in case. He just asked you to take some time to help guide them.”

Li Yao was laughed at by him: “Do you think there is a need to guide them?”

“…” Yue Hang said with difficulty, “It’s Mr. Liang’s meaning. After all, it is not impossible for Heteromorphs to appear in the base.”

Li Yao was silent for a moment: “I know, give me the people from the patrol team, you train these people yourself.”

Yue Hang had to nod.

The people in the patrol team were originally criminals who did all kinds of evil. It was not easy to provoke anyone who was picked out at random. Someone probably wanted to stand up for Yue Hang and shouted: “We don’t need him to train!”

“That’s right! He divorced our boss, why can he train us?” Someone echoed.

“Scumbag! I heard that he found another one in the base, bah!”

Li Yao sneered: “Who said that just now, have the guts to stand up for me!”

There was silence below. Someone with no fear of death stood up with his neck stiffened, and the next second, Li Yao kicked him away. Li Yao hooked his fingers at the second person who spoke.

The other party swallowed his saliva and rushed up with a loud roar.

The next second, Li Yao stepped him into the sand.

In a few minutes, most of the people in the patrol team were stuffed into the Heteromorph’s bloody belly.

Li Yao patted the sand on his hands and smiled arrogantly: “I divorced your boss, that’s because your boss is incompetent. I can have any kind of wife I want. There are more people who want to marry me than there are zombies in the base.”

He shook his wristband and turned it into a stick. He knocked these thorns out of the Heteromorph’s belly like he was hitting groundhogs. Looking at this group of quail-like blood people, he lowered his eyes and said: “If I hear another unpleasant word, I will send you to see King Yama before the Heteromorphs in the outer districts do! Did you hear that!”

Everyone shivered.

“I’m asking you, did you hear that?” Li Yao asked with a smile, carrying the stick.

“I heard it.”

“Louder!” Li Yao roared.

A group of people trembled in unison and shouted desperately: “I heard it!”

“Trash.” Li Yao sneered and knocked the stick on the car. “Train!”

Yue Hang and Lu Biao, who watched the whole process next to him: “…”

Lu Biao said with lingering fear: “Brother Liang is also very difficult.”

Yue Hang frowned: “Don’t tell Liang Huan about him and You Zhao Chen.”

Lu Biao was shocked: “He and that You Zhao Chen?! Damn it, where is our Brother Liang not as good as that pretty boy? Why?”

“Shut up.” Yue Hang dragged him away. “Don’t you know?”

“I don’t know.” Lu Biao scratched his head. “I thought they could remarry.”

Yue Hang was puzzled: “Then why are you so rude to Li Yao?”

“Why can’t I beat him up a few times while they haven’t made up yet?” Lu Biao didn’t understand either. “Don’t you think he deserves a beating?”

“…Forget it, just shut up.” Yue Hang was too lazy to argue with him. “You go train the reserve team.”

“Ah? Why is it me?” Lu Biao was unhappy. “Boss, boss, wait for me!”

When Li Yao returned to the dormitory building, it was already dark outside.

“Hey, Li Yao.” Uncle Yang stopped him. “Captain You said that your communication could not be received. He asked me to tell you that the Administrative Court building has been cleaned up and asked you to move over and live together.”

“No need, this place is pretty good.” Li Yao handed him a pack of cigarettes. “Has anyone come to find me recently?”

“No, only a few plumbers came today.” Uncle Yang asked, “Did you really divorce Little Liang?”

“Yeah, divorced.” Li Yao lit a cigarette and leaned against the window to watch the mecha competition with him for a while.

“This mecha called “Rampage” is very powerful. Although it only has A-level mental power, it has swept away many opponents with S-level mental power. I heard that the operator is also very young. Maybe he will be recruited by the military before the final.” Uncle Yang lit a cigarette and took a puff. “You and Little Liang were doing well, why did you divorce?”

“I couldn’t live with him, he thought I was broke.” Li Yao snorted and laughed. “We quarreled every day, there was really no way.”

Uncle Yang sighed: “Hey, you should save some money.”

“I can’t save it. Maybe I’ll save it, but I won’t have the life to spend it.” Li Yao twisted out the cigarette. “I’m leaving, Uncle Yang.”

“Hey, wait.” Uncle Yang took a box of candy from under the window and handed it to him. “My son brought it back during his vacation. He said it was a welfare from their company. I don’t like to eat this stuff either. Take it.”

Li Yao took it over: “Yo, good stuff, Little Yang’s job is not bad.”

“After studying for so many years, he has finally settled down.” Uncle Yang said with a smile: “He said that he is a researcher at Dawn Laboratory. The salary is very high. I asked him to ask if their company is still short of people. Why don’t you go too?”

“Forget it.” Li Yao waved his hands repeatedly. “I didn’t even graduate from elementary school. They don’t even want me to watch the gate, I’m leaving.”

“You brat, who are you burying!” Uncle Yang scolded with a smile and closed the window.

Li Yao hummed a song and returned to 7104. As soon as he opened the door, he noticed something was wrong. He was about to draw his gun when he saw Jinbao rushing up with a rag: “Master Li Yao, Jinbao is back!”

Li Yao picked him up and shook him, wondering: “What are you doing back?”

Jinbao’s eyes turned into mosquito coil circles: “Jinbao doesn’t like playing shooting games, Jinbao likes garbage elimination games.”

“What the hell.” Li Yao patted the head of this artificial retard, quickly checked it, confirmed that there were no cameras or locators inside, and then put it back on the carpet, scanned around, confirmed that there was no second living person in the room besides himself, and then closed the door with peace of mind.

Jinbao returned to familiar territory and continued the cleaning he had only done half of.

Li Yao tutted, completely deleted Liang Huan’s pupil scan from the access control system, took off the jacket and vest covered with gray and blood stains, kicked off his boots, buckled off the anti-tracking chip on the belt, and simply removed the wrist chip and put it into the external operating device next to him, then pressed his neck and twisted his stiff neck, pulled open the door of the bathroom and prepared to take a shower.

“Fuck!” He cursed directly when he saw the dark figure inside.

During non-power supply hours, the already narrow dormitory became even darker. Liang Huan was shaving in front of the mirror. He stared at the shocked Li Yao in the mirror and said unhurriedly: “Is that all the courage you have?”

Li Yao didn’t hear any breathing at all. He turned his head to look at the closed dormitory door, and then looked at Liang Huan, who was only wrapped in a bath towel in front of him, and had nowhere to vent his anger: “What are you doing in my house?”

“Jinbao said he missed you, so I sent him over.” Liang Huan picked up a towel and wiped his chin, turned around and looked at him. “By the way, I took a shower.”

Li Yao was very puzzled: “You came here to take a shower?”

“The Administrative Court building is undergoing a comprehensive overhaul and the water is cut off for three days. It’s too troublesome to go back to the Black Market.” Liang Huan said apologetically, “Sorry, I forgot that you are most afraid of trouble. I will transfer the water bill and Jinbao’s electricity bill to you.”

Li Yao tutted.

Liang Huan pushed his shoulder aside and walked to the closet to rummage. Sure enough, he found his clothes and put them on as a matter of course.

“Aren’t you a little too familiar?” Li Yao finally came back to his senses and narrowed his eyes. “How do I remember that we are already divorced?”

Liang Huan sighed faintly: “It’s true that we are divorced, so I came to you this time for public affairs.”

“Then go to the office to find me.” Li Yao saw him sitting in front of the coffee table familiarly and taking out the tea set from below, and tutted unhappily, walked over and sat opposite him. “I haven’t heard of anyone who has to go to the other person’s house to take a shower before asking someone to do something.”

Liang Huan raised his eyebrows.

“Can’t even seduce people?” Li Yao looked at him with ill intentions. “If you don’t take off your clothes, how can I help you do things?”

“…” Liang Huan lowered his head and looked at the hoodie on his body, grabbed the edge and pretended to take it off.

“Fuck.” Li Yao cursed and grabbed his wrist, glaring at him.

Liang Huan followed his strength and put down his hand, and asked: “I heard you found a new love?”

Li Yao raised his chin: “Yes, it’s very sweet. Don’t bother me, you ex-wife.”

“Although you are divorced from me, we had a brief marriage after all. You are a person of the Liang family in life, and a ghost of the Liang family in death. It may not be appropriate to marry again.” Liang Huan said unhurriedly.

Li Yao was shocked: “Aren’t you very enlightened?”

“I am an emperor after all. I have to be feudal when I should be feudal.” Liang Huan sighed, “Break up with that You, otherwise I will kill him.”

Li Yao said: “What a joke.”

“It concerns my face, I never joke about this kind of thing.” Liang Huan smiled gently. “You shot me and insisted on divorcing me. For the sake of our past relationship, I won’t argue with you, but this matter is not okay.”

Li Yao said: “Don’t make trouble, go take medicine if your mental power is disordered.”

Liang Huan smiled rather than smiled: “In public, the Black Market has just merged with the Mercenary Base, and it is time for me to establish my prestige, but you are ruining my reputation on the training ground. In private, you used to be my person. After divorcing me, you are entangled with other men. In either case, the impact is very bad.”

“No, wait.” Li Yao was continuously shocked by his feudal atmosphere. “First of all, let’s not talk about the truth of this matter, don’t you think you are being unreasonable now?”

“I am the emperor. I can reason with you when I am in a good mood. When I am in a bad mood, there is no need to reason.” Liang Huan smiled slightly. “Even if the matter between you and You Zhao Chen is just a rumor, I will not allow it.”

Li Yao couldn’t help laughing, raised his chin arrogantly: “If you really can’t help but come to me, just come, there’s no need to find this kind of reason, it’s too outrageous.”

“Li Yao, you have to be clear that whether you are divorced or not, you can only be my person forever.” Liang Huan slowly restrained his smile, looking at Li Yao’s gaze coldly and oppressively. “I have given you the maximum tolerance and patience.”

Li Yao: “…”

Fuck, he was actually serious.
