Ark Simulator, Don't I Have No Physical Form? Chapter 204
"To be precise, they are just ordinary truck drivers."
Su Rui's voice rang in Leontuso's ear, and as he turned around warily, Suri snatched the revolver from Leontuso's hand:
"Don't panic, I saved your life, didn't I? If it weren't for me, your car would have crashed straight into this truck."
Su Rui looked Leontuso up and down, clicking his tongue in amazement. "Although my data already told me everything, the physical fitness of the Terra is truly outrageous. They can actually survive being hit by a truck."
"It's you." Leontuso breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Su Rui, and said somewhat helplessly as he watched Su Rui fiddling with his revolver:
"I thought someone was trying to assassinate me, the mayor."
"To be precise, you're only taking office tomorrow."
Su Rui returned Leontuso's revolver to him:
"Looks like your car broke down, and you almost ended up in the hospital. Why don't you just stay at the hotel tonight?"
"No, I have things to prepare for tomorrow. Since nothing happened, let's leave the car here for now."
Leontuso smiled at Su Rui, "I'll call someone to handle this later... But what's with this truck?"
"It was an accident caused by a fight in the street; I don't know how it happened."
Su Rui shrugged, watching Leontuso turn and leave. He then turned back and waved to Su Rui, saying, "Thanks, but you should hurry back. Be careful not to stay out too long and make Ms. Ingrid angry."
Why do you think I'm here at this hour?
Su Rui muttered something under her breath in dissatisfaction, but Leontuso didn't hear her and quickened his pace, disappearing from Su Rui's sight.
Su Rui didn't forget to take this opportunity to teach Lily of the Suzuran a lesson. "Suzuran, did you see that? This is what happens when you're not home late at night. The only truck you can usually load is a big truck."
"Okay, I understand." Suzuran nodded solemnly from the rooftop.
Su Rui glanced at the truck that tried to escape after finding no one was injured, and at the Kingbreaker jumped off the truck and rushed towards Hong and Ziyue.
Well, since Lyudmila can't keep up with Red, I'll just stay here and watch.
Upstairs, Honeysuckle was surprised to find that although Su Rui hadn't stopped the conflict between Hong and Ziyue, she had still managed to make the outcome relatively better. She couldn't help but feel ashamed of her previous misjudgment of Su Rui.
' Su Rui...'
'What's wrong?'
'You called Lavinia over, right? I'll be gentler with you when we're playing in squads tonight.'
'Hmm, so what were you originally planning to do to me?'
Su Rui's question made Vulpisfoglia pause for a moment, then instead of answering Su Rui, she changed the subject: 'How long until Lavinia gets here?'
'It'll be about ten minutes, and Lavinia's place isn't too far from us.'
Su Rui said, without pressing further, and leaned against Leontuso's car, whose four tires had been blown out by Rapid-Fire Gun, waiting for Lavinia.
Soon, Lavinia, having driven to the hotel, received a call from Su Rui with some confusion. She came out of the hotel's lower parking lot, approached Su Rui, and asked, puzzled:
"Why did you make a special trip all the way here to meet me?... What's the deal with this car?"
Lavinia first approached Su Rui, somewhat disgruntled, and pulled Su Rui's hand to ask a question. Then she saw the car with all four tires blown out, and only after seeing the license plate did she realize:
"This is Leontuso's car. What happened to him?"
Lavinia instinctively tensed up; after all, he was her younger brother, and she still needed to pay attention to him.
"Relax, I'm here. Leontuso is definitely fine. He's just worried about missing tomorrow's inauguration ceremony, so he left his car here and went back first."
Su Rui reached out and pressed on Lavinia's shoulder to calm her down.
"Okay, I understand." Lavinia lowered her head and then looked at Su Rui:
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Okay, don't be nervous, let's talk slowly."
Su Rui took Lavinia's wrist and led her back into the hotel.
"I originally wanted to have that guy Leontuso stay here to curry favor with you, but he slipped away."
"Hmm, and then?"
"So what? I used my Scanning Vision to spot Leontuso, who was about to crash, and a truck. Then I used my Rapid-Fire Gun to blow out his tires, stopping him before he crashed."
"So you're the one who punctured the tire."
Lavinia smiled helplessly. Since her brother was alright, the condition of the car didn't matter.
Thinking this, Lavinia leaned closer to Su Rui and kissed him on the cheek:
"Thanks."
"Hmm, with our relationship, do I need to say thank you?"
Su Rui turned her head and nuzzled Lavinia's lips:
"By the way, don't you need me to provide evidence? Actually, the truck driver didn't crash because of driving error; the factors involved are a bit complicated."
"It also involves your plan, right? You just need to provide me with the information you think is sufficient, and I will continue along the route you provide."
Lavinia reached out and pinched Su Rui's cheek. "Looks like the show you were talking about is about to begin?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
As Su Rui spoke, she pulled Lavinia into the elevator. After arriving at the top floor, she gestured for Lavinia to proceed. "Then, please look forward to it."
"Hmm... I don't see Vulpisfoglia or Lappland. Aren't they here?"
Vulpisfoglia looked around but didn't see Vulpisfoglia or Lappland, which made her a little puzzled.
"We saw what happened from the rooftop." Lappland's voice came from the stairs leading to the roof. Lavinia looked in the direction of the voice and noticed Lappland, Suzuran, and Vulpisfoglia.
"Suzuran isn't asleep yet? Children should go to bed early."
"I understand, Aunt Lavinia ~"
Suzuran nodded, walked past Lavinia, threw herself into Su Rui's arms, hugged Su Rui, and then went into her own bedroom.
Volume 7, Chapter 448: Wake up!
After Suzuran entered the bedroom and turned off the lights, the three women outside the door became increasingly audacious.
After all, the three of them had spent so much time with Su Rui, so they naturally relaxed.
Lappland smiled and walked over to Su Rui, placing her hands on Su Rui's shoulders:
"What we're supposed to do doesn't start until tomorrow, right? So let's relax for now."
Vulpisfoglia nodded. "There might be things to do tomorrow, so don't stay up too late."
Lavinia glanced at Vulpisfoglia with some surprise. Vulpisfoglia was usually very enthusiastic about hiking with Su Rui, but today she seemed rather restrained for some reason.
However, at least in front of Su Rui, Lavinia relaxed and reached out to hold Su Rui along with Lappland's:
"I really want to thank Su Rui; you saved my brother."
"Actually, even without me, your brother wouldn't have really been in any serious trouble; at most, he'd end up in the hospital."
As Su Rui was speaking, Lavinia covered her mouth. "Being in the hospital is bad enough, isn't it?"
"Let's not talk about this now. Suzuran is already asleep. Let's get started."
As Lappland spoke, she immediately wanted to start hiking with Su Rui in the living room outside.
"Let me go inside first. What if you wake Suzuran up if you stay here?"
Su Rui slapped Lappland's wrist in annoyance, then, with her large tail wrapped around Vulpisfoglia, Lavinia, and Lappland, they headed into the bedroom.
Between Lily of the Suzuran's bedroom and Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia's bedroom, there is actually an empty bedroom.
On the surface, it was supposed to be a place for Lappland to sleep while she rested, but in reality, Lappland always waited until Suzuran fell asleep before going to Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia's room to sleep with Su Rui.
It's pretty much the same now; everyone's sleeping together in Su Rui and Vulpisfoglia's room.
... As a result, Vulpisfoglia forgot what she had said at the beginning. Although she was somewhat restrained at first, after seeing the intimacy between Su Rui, Lappland, and Lavinia, she couldn't help but increase the intensity when she was climbing the mountain with Su Rui.
As a result, the four of them didn't get to rest until the early hours of the morning, and when it was time to get up the next day, none of them were awake.
Moreover, Lavinia and Lappland should theoretically have things to do today.
Su Rui was woken up by her own alarm clock. Reluctantly, she sat up with a splitting headache and drowsy mind. She patted her cheeks, using her powers to dispel all the sleepiness.
If you want to sleep, you can continue sleeping, but if you want to get up, you can also directly eliminate the drowsiness—that's Su Rui.
Of course, this method cannot be applied to other people, so Su Rui had to use another method.
After ordering a few breakfast items that Lappland and the others liked over the phone, Su Rui saw Suzuran of the Valley, who had also changed her clothes and gotten up.
Although Suzuran was still a little groggy from just waking up, she still came to Su Rui's side and greeted Su Rui:
"Good morning, Dad. Where are Mom and the aunties?"
"They're all still a bit sleepy; they stayed up too late playing games last night."
As Su Rui spoke, she reached out and ruffled Suzuran's hair. "I've already ordered breakfast. How about we go make coffee for Mom and the aunties together?"
"Mm." Suzuran nodded and followed Su Rui into the kitchen.
A moment later, Su Rui carried a steaming cup of coffee, with milk or sugar added, into her and Vulpisfoglia's bedroom.
Everyone has different preferences; Su Rui remembers exactly what flavors of coffee Vulpisfoglia, Lavinia, and Lappland like.
Su Rui gently knocked on the door and placed the coffee aside, then gently fanned its aroma toward the sleeping Lavinia and the others.
This trick doesn't actually provide much of a substitute effect, but it's a lot of fun. And Lavinia and the others are actually quite self-disciplined; after being woken up by Su Rui in this way, they didn't stay in bed any longer, but got up wearily.
"Here's your coffee. After you finish it, breakfast will be ready outside."
As Su Rui spoke, she handed each of them a coffee, watching them sit up in front of her without even wearing pajamas and drink their coffee.
They're already this intimate; there's really no need to be so concerned about the details.
Su Rui nodded, picked up the coffee in front of her with sugar and milk, and slowly savored it.
Without the urge to fall asleep, coffee just feels like an ordinary beverage.
Breakfast time passed quickly, but Su Rui kept Lavinia behind:
"Could you please look after Suzuran for a bit today, Lavinia? Vulpisfoglia and I need to go out for a while. I'll help with the case investigation; I'll give you the information directly, and you can look after Suzuran while you organize the data."
Lavinia nodded. "No problem, I'll make a call to ask for leave."
Lappland already knew what she was about to do. She nodded, gave Su Rui a hard pinch on the waist, and then left the hotel with a smile.
Vulpisfoglia ruffled Lily of the Suzuran's hair, looking at Su Rui with a puzzled expression. "Is there some plan for us to go out?"
"There's an elderly person you might be interested in. Anyway, we're going to visit the Venice Family again today. Speaking of which, a large part of the chaos that followed in New Wolseini was caused by the Venice Family, or rather, the Venice Family was the main trigger."
"I see." Vulpisfoglia nodded calmly, gave Suzuran a few instructions, and then went to Su Rui's side, walking towards the elevator with Su Rui.
After learning that Su Rui and she had been isolated alone in a confined space, Vulpisfoglia continued to ask:
' Su Rui, what do you mean by "old people"?'
"An old tailor's grandson witnessed last night's car accident and has been placed under house arrest by the Venice Family. Actually, the truck in question was carrying weapons smuggled by the Venice Family. Leontuso escaped because I used intimidation tactics, but I can't be in two places at the same time as the old tailor's grandson; the distance is too great, I can't save him."
"So, are we going to rescue the old tailor's grandson now?"
'Hmm, I don't really care about that, but you'd probably prefer me to be kinder?'
Su Rui glanced at Vulpisfoglia, and after receiving a reassuring look, she leaned against the elevator wall, then Vulpisfoglia pulled her into her arms.
"Let's go, the elevator's here. I'm driving. How do we get there?"
'I've given you the map; just take a look at it to Scanning Vision.'
Volume 7, Chapter 449: Infiltration, or what?
Vulpisfoglia glanced at the map of the Scanning Vision provided by Su Rui, and paused for a moment:
' Su Rui? Are we going straight to the Venice Family?'
"Right? Where else would we go? We can just solve the problem directly, then take the old tailor's grandson to him, and that'll settle things, right? Then we can just watch how things develop."
Su Rui didn't understand why Vulpisfoglia seemed hesitant.
"... I think we should discuss this with the tailor beforehand, or at least inform him. After all, we'll regret it later if the plan falls apart due to a lack of communication."
