Ark Simulator, Don't I Lack a Physical Body?

Swire also realized that it was Su Rui who had been controlling Exusiai's phone to speak, and then she took out her own phone from her pocket:

"Interested in working for me? The salary and benefits are very generous!"

"Heh." Chen couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. Perhaps Swire could attract Su Rui with other things, but money was definitely not among them.

That's the "Queen" of Ursus, why would Su Rui be short of a little money?

In reality, Su Rui's thoughts were similar to Chen's. However, the real reason was that Su Rui didn't have any physical assets, so money was useless to him.

Besides, Su Rui's hobby doesn't cost much money; she just likes to eat good food.

However, Su Rui was more concerned about something else. "You haven't answered my question yet. Don't you find it troublesome to carry around something so expensive?"

"Of course not, I'm a police officer, who would dare to rob me?"

Swire hands on his hips smugly before explaining, "Of course, it's to deal with the current situation, like attracting talent like you. So, are you interested in working under me?"

"Thank you, but my ideal is not to work." Su Rui declined Swire's invitation. "If you encounter any problems, you can ask me for help. I usually contact Chen You."

"Really? Then could you give me your contact information?" Swire glanced at Chen with surprise, then tried to get Su Rui's contact information.

"If there are any problems, I will naturally find you."

After saying that, Su Rui ended the call, unable to provide Swire with a fixed contact method.

Although an empty, unconnected number could be used as a node to receive messages, if Su Rui started a new simulation and moved to a city with poor network connectivity, Swire would probably be unable to contact him, so that method of contact would be meaningless.

"Okay, but if you have any leads next time, feel free to contact me. I'll definitely be more generous with my offer than that Rice Noodle Dragon!"

Swire said, glancing smugly at Chen, but compared to her boasting, Chen was more concerned about something else:

"Miss Poet! Please don't call me that anymore!"

"What? Don't you also call me Miss Shi? I've told you so many times, my surname Swire."

"You little Char Siu Cat!"

Seeing that Chen and Swire were about to start arguing again, Hoshiguma quickly stepped in to stop them:

"Alright, Missy, and Lao Chen, you're still working. We'll talk about it when we get back."

"Tsk, I'll let you off this time." Chen glared at Swire with annoyance, then turned and beckoned Exusiai to follow.

"Let's go. Go back and give your statement, then you can go home."

Swire glanced at Chen with some surprise. Usually, if she encountered someone from Penguin Logistics, even if they hadn't done anything wrong, she wouldn't be able to resist giving them a lecture and questioning. What was wrong with her this time? Why was she being so open-minded?

Exusiai didn't have any objections and got into the police car with the three officers, looking around curiously the whole way.

At the same time, he asked Su Rui in his mind: 'What is the internal structure of the police station? Could there be some kind of secret operations base or something?'

"Even if Chen's special operations team is the kind you're talking about, the Lungmen Guard Department is, in the end, just a department, nothing special."

As Su Rui spoke, she directly showed the scanned images from the Lungmen Guard Department: "The warehouses, equipment, training areas, and the like are all very obvious, so there's nothing mysterious about them that you're expecting."

'So that's how it is. I thought there would be a force operating covertly to maintain order,' Exusiai with some regret.

Even if such a force existed, it wouldn't be the Lungmen Guard Department, Su Rui thought to himself. In reality, his Scanning Vision could see the Shadow Guards hidden in the shadows, monitoring the city from time to time.

These Shadow Guards must belong to Wei Yenwu, right? Most of the time they seem to have a pretty easy time.

Su Rui didn't think too much about it. Exusiai's statement was quickly taken down, and she was escorted to the door by Hoshiguma and Chen. Swire didn't know why she was following them, even though all three of them had things to take care of.

Exusiai turned around, smiled, and greeted them, "Then I'll be going now. No need to see me off, officers."

Su Rui didn't forget to use Chen's phone to say hello, "Goodbye, Rice Noodle Dragon ~"

"Don't call me that. You can call me Sister Chen."

Chen kept a straight face, trying her best not to laugh at Su Rui's tone, but she didn't notice that Chen and Hoshiguma next to her subconsciously showed expressions of fear because of her performance.

Volume 3, Chapter 154: Chen's Invitation

Chen turned his head and noticed Swire and Hoshiguma's strange expressions. He also realized that he and Su Rui hadn't been hiding their interaction from others, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed.

But she still scolded him in her usual impatient manner:

"What are you looking at? And Swire, don't you have anything better to do? Why are you following us out?"

"I saw you two come out with me, why can't I? I was just passing by."

Swire retorted sharply to Chen, "What, does the Lungmen Guard Department belong to your family?"

In a sense, it really is run by the Chen family, Su Rui couldn't help but smile.

Swire also shifted his attention to Chen's phone:

"Speaking of which, you wouldn't happen to have a crush on her, would you? You're calling her so affectionately; I've never seen you this friendly to anyone before?"

"Char Siu Cat, don't talk nonsense, this is my relative."

Chen frowned in annoyance, but her heart skipped a beat because of Swire's words. Su Rui was her brother-in-law, and she couldn't let Swire's words affect her relationship with Su Rui.

Just as Chen and Swire were about to continue arguing, Su Rui interrupted them using Chen's phone:

"Chen, you have a guest!"

"I already told you you can call me Sister Chen, what kind of guest are you?" Chen was subconsciously a little dissatisfied with Su Rui's way of addressing her; she still hoped Su Rui would call her Sister Chen.

Su Rui, however, remained true to himself. If it weren't for saving face for Chen, he would have preferred to use the nickname "Rice Noodle Dragon."

"It's not convenient to say explicitly. Check your phone; it's someone you can only meet alone."

Su Rui's words made Chen look down at her phone with some confusion. Her expression changed slightly, but she reacted quickly, turning into a blank expression that left no trace of her true feelings.

Su Rui named this expression "Heavy Armor Chip Mode".

Anyway, after seeing the message, Chen greeted Swire and Hoshiguma:

"I have to go now, you can continue."

With that, he grabbed his weapon and quickly headed towards the rear of the Lungmen Guard Department.

There, a Shadow Guards dressed in a black raincoat was waiting for Chen and bowed to her, saying, "I didn't expect you to have already discovered me, Miss."

"... What does that guy want with me?" Chen looked at the Shadow Guards in front of her. The other party was also her elder, so Chen didn't want to be too impolite.

However, considering Wei Yenwu's actions, Chen was really not in the mood to be too friendly.

The Shadow Guards didn't seem to care about Chen's attitude; he simply paused for a moment before saying, "You'll see when you go to meet him."

"If that's the case, why not just send a message or make a phone call? Wei Yenwu communicates with you by phone or something, right? It can't be just for the sake of a formality, can it?"

Su Rui's voice came from the phone, and Chen immediately looked nervously at the Shadow Guards in front of him, fearing that the other party would make some extreme reaction.

Why speak up now? The Shadow Guards's identity is very sensitive; if it gets out...

However, to Chen's surprise, the Shadow Guards did not react at all, and even bowed to Chen again:

"Your Highness the Queen of Ursus? Lord Wei is also a relative of yours, so would you do me the honor of meeting my master?"

"So you came to see Chen about this, right?"

Su Rui wasn't surprised, since Su Rui had recorded the call when Wei Yenwu mentioned Su Rui to the Shadow Guards.

Su Rui didn't seem to care, but Chen became wary and subconsciously took a few steps back. "In that case, I won't go to see him."

At the same time, in front of the Shadow Guards, Chen did not give Wei Yenwu any face, but instead reminded Su Rui:

"That guy is a treacherous and cunning villain; don't believe a word he says."

"...Miss, Lord Wei also has his own difficulties. What he did was for your own good." The Shadow Guards paused for a moment, then awkwardly spoke up for Wei Yenwu.

"Hmph." Chen snorted and prepared to leave, but Su Rui wanted to talk to Wei Yenwu, after all, he was also a member of Talulah's family, and they should meet him.

"Since you don't want to go, Chen, I'll just contact Wei Yenwu directly. You should go home first."

Chen should be satisfied now that he doesn't have to see people he dislikes, right?

Su Rui nodded, but Chen refused his offer. "No, don't rush. I'll go with you, but don't talk to Wei Yenwu first, understand?"

"It's fine, why be so cautious?" Su Rui didn't seem to have any objections.

"This is for your own good." Chen's tone softened, and he even felt a little annoyed at his own overly harsh tone just now.

After all, her brother-in-law seemed too gullible, and Chen was worried that he would be fooled by Wei Yenwu, that old fox, with just a few words.

Soon, Chen arrived at Wei Yenwu's home—yes, home, not his office.

Pushing open the door and entering the living room, Chen, with a dark expression, saw Wei Yenwu sitting somewhat uncomfortably on the sofa, and his aunt Wenyue walking out of the kitchen with a smile on her face.

"Aunt? Why are you here too..." Chen's expression changed instantly. She had a good impression of her aunt and couldn't show such a bad expression in front of her.

"Xiao Chen is here! Please have a seat. My sister and I have prepared dinner, it will be ready soon. We'll eat at home in a bit."

"My mom's here too?" Chen looked at his mother coming out of the kitchen, somewhat surprised, then looked at Wei Yenwu sitting on the sofa, and realized what was going on.

No wonder Wei Yenwu was so nervous; it turns out it wasn't just his aunt who was here.

"Looks like we'll be chatting over dinner?" Su Rui's voice came from Chen's phone, greeting Wenyue and Chen's mother.

Hello, you two!

"Su Rui? This is Little Tal's husband? I've seen you in Little Tal's speech videos, you're a good kid..." It's just that this kid is a bit too childish.

Wenyue wore a smile, but her heart was filled with mixed feelings; she didn't know what to say about her niece's hobby.

Although Drak are rare to begin with, it seems a bit too much to expect them to grow up before they're even grown up, making one wonder.

"Um, I'm sorry, I'm not here in person right now, so this is the only way I can communicate with the three elders."

Wei Yenwu is at least an elder, so let's just call him that.

Su Rui's words didn't arouse any suspicion, after all, he was the "Queen" of Ursus, and it was indeed not very time-consuming or appropriate for him to come to Lungmen openly.

In reality, Su Rui doesn't even have a physical body now; her status as "Empress" is quite suitable as an excuse.

And so, with Wei Yenwu behaving reservedly, the family of five began their dinner... even though Su Rui was currently speechless.

Volume 3, Chapter 155: Su Rui's Daughter

The scene that Su Rui and Chen imagined—a confrontation and mutual scheming between Di and Wei Yenwu —did not materialize.

On the contrary, Wei Yenwu would get up from time to time to pour tea for his wife and sister, watching them chat happily with Su Rui on the phone.

The lowly governor could only cautiously express his opinions from time to time. Occasionally, he would try to bring up the matter of Lungmen and Ursus, but after being glared at by Wenyue next to him, he would swallow his words and be unable to speak.

However, there were some questions that Su Rui couldn't answer so easily, so he simply reconnected with Talulah online to check on Talulah situation.

After dinner, Su Rui not only didn't get to eat anything, but was also quite tired from the questions from the two parents.

"Well, that's enough for today. I'm a little tired. Time to go eat."

Seeing that they had almost finished their dinner, Su Rui quickly made an excuse and hung up the phone.

Wei Yenwu couldn't help but sigh. He still had some things he wanted to discuss with Su Rui, regarding the trade between Lungmen and Ursus...

It's not that Old Wei is heartless or ungrateful; rather, trade can deepen ties, and it can serve as a bridge to connect Talulah and Su Rui...

Although Wei Yenwu admitted that part of his intentions were indeed for the benefit of Lungmen.

Su Rui could actually see through Wei Yenwu's thoughts. Before leaving, he left a few messages on Wei Yenwu's phone and told him a few ways to hide his secret stash of money. Governor Wei was immediately moved to tears and couldn't help but think to himself how "sensible" Su Rui was as his son-in-law.

Well, if we ignore the fact that Su Rui sent Wenyue the method of pretending to have accidentally discovered these ways of hiding money, Su Rui is still quite tactful.

Having finally dealt with the exhausting interpersonal relationships, Su Rui returned to Exusiai's side, only to find Exusiai seemingly on the third floor of Penguin Logistics, preparing dinner with Vulpisfoglia.

"Apuru pie~ Apuru pie~" Exusiai hummed the lyrics softly, her hands holding an apple pie that was ready to be put in the oven.

"By the way, Exusiai, hasn't Su Rui said anything yet?"

Vulpisfoglia was preparing the pizza when she couldn't help but ask Exusiai was eating Texas next to her, a knowing look in her eyes.

Texas's interactions with Vulpisfoglia during this time also made her aware of Su Rui's special qualities, so Texas readily accepted the current situation.

On the third floor, in an area reserved for Vulpisfoglia and her teammates, Vulpisfoglia and Exusiai were preparing food in the kitchen, while Texas was helping Vulpisfoglia.

Outside, Suzuran had already gone home from school and was doing her homework, while Sora had just returned.

Exusiai was being questioned, paused for a moment, then shook her head. "Su Rui didn't say anything."

"I'll eat something for dinner too... but we share the same stomach, so I can't eat much."

Su Rui speaking into Exusiai's mind at this moment startled the red-haired Sankta, who then looked at Vulpisfoglia and said:
