If a suitable reason cannot be given, it may arouse the suspicion of Superintendent Chen.

Luo Chen thought for a moment and added:

"It was all Luo Chen's doing. He has a unique Originium Arts that can seal other people's Originium Arts."

"He not only sealed my Originium Arts, but also the old woman who once possessed me. If it weren't for our differences, I should thank Luo Chen."

"The old woman who possessed you?"

Chen Huijie frowned.

They were both shocked by Luo Chen's endless stream of trump cards and worried about this old lady who could possess other people.

"It's Koschei, the one who kidnapped me. He's actually an immortal being who has lived for countless years by possessing other people."

"There's such a thing?" Chen Huijie gasped in surprise.

"There are always things on this land that we don't know about, but then she met Luo Chen."

"If I'm not mistaken, this immortal old woman must have been tormented terribly by Luo Chen."

Luo Chen didn't like hearing Chen Huijie say that.

He was giving the Black Snake positive and uplifting education; how could that be called torture?

It seems that Superintendent Chan's thinking is seriously flawed and needs to be corrected.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen raised his fist and punched Chen Huijie hard on the head.

Jump--

Chen Huijie, who had just been gently punched, looked at Talulah in confusion:

Why did you hit me?

Talulah clenched her fists and raised her head:

"Xiao Chen, I have to say something to you. What you did a few days ago was too dangerous."

"If you didn't have no deep-seated hatred for Luo Chen, and weren't someone he wouldn't kill, you would already be ashes by now."

Chen Huijie scratched her cheek, somewhat unconvinced:

"Wasn't I trying to rescue you because you were imprisoned by Luo Chen? Why are you bringing it up?"

"I was used by Koschei to do wrong things before, which almost led to the Reunion Movement. He only imprisoned me, which is the best treatment I could receive."

It was as if he was recalling the various evil deeds he had committed while possessed by Koschei.

Talulah's tone became heavy, and tears slowly slid down her face.

"Don't think like that. You weren't the one who did the bad thing; it was that old lady."

Chen Huijie shouted, trying to persuade Talulah not to blame herself too much.

"No..." Talulah through tears, forcing a bitter smile that held despair and helplessness.

"I feel guilty because my actions have put Xiao Chen in danger as well."

"If you were to die because of me, I really don't know how I would go on living."

Talulah wept with self-reproach, and Chen was also feeling uneasy.

She hurriedly and loudly explained:

"It's all because of me."

"It's not your fault, I was too impulsive. I didn't understand the situation. Maybe I should have talked to Luo Chen beforehand."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's lips curled into a triumphant smile. He clenched his fist and punched Chen Huijie again.

The punch didn't land on Chen Huijie's head, which was already numb, but instead struck the wound on her back.

The latter gasped for breath on the spot after being punched.

"Hiss--"

"You can't do that again next time," Luo Chen said gently, then punched Talulah a few more times. "Just for my sake, okay?"

"Okay, I understand... I understand."

Chen Huijie was punched a few times by Bangbang. Apart from feeling some pain in her wounds, she also felt a faint sense of warmth and happiness.

Perhaps this is the taste of a sister's love.

Half an hour later.

"By the way, you just said you and Luo Chen have a disagreement, what kind of disagreement is it?"

Chen Huijie asked Talulah.

From their conversation, she roughly understood what Talulah had gone through in the past.

Talulah was first possessed and controlled by an old woman named Koschei, who then used the Reunion Movement to do many bad things.

Then she met Luo Chen, who was born simply to have fun.

Luo Chen not only tormented the old lady to the point of her values collapsing, but also eventually seized control of the Reunion Movement.

Logically speaking, although Luo Chen doesn't act logically...

But he still has his own bottom line.

If Talulah hadn't deliberately opposed Luo Chen, he wouldn't have been able to steal her Originium Arts, tie her to a fire to roast her, and have two muscular women bully her every day.

"Huijie, do you know which large companies Lungmen's Reunion Movement has conflicts with?"

"I know that. Luo Chen wants to control all the human resources in the Lower City so that he can collect more fees from the companies."

"Then do you know what Luo Chen wants to do?"

"What does Luo Chen want to do..." Chen Huijie recalled Luo Chen's past actions.

If anyone were to challenge him to a duel, given Luo Chen's style, he would most likely destroy both the opponent and the arena.

"He wouldn't be planning to kill all those conglomerate owners, would he?"

Luo Chen looked surprised; Superintendent Chen had said he wasn't his lapdog.

She's probably the person who understands her own thoughts the most right now.

"You seem to know Luo Chen quite well... you actually guessed most of it correctly."

"Only half of it is correct?" Chen Huijie was also surprised. She had been studying and analyzing Luo Chen's style of doing things and his behavioral logic day and night in the Lungmen Guard Department.

I thought I had seen through Luo Chen, but it turns out I'm not even half as good as him!

What is the other half?

"Luo Chen not only wants to find a reason to swallow up disobedient companies and conglomerates, he also plans to support an agent who shares his views to become a high-ranking official in Lungmen."

"He wants to support a proxy? What does he take Wei Yenwu for? Wei Yenwu is the governor appointed by the Yan."

"Although Wei Yenwu is the nominal governor, as long as we transfer all his power and armed forces to someone he can't bring himself to kill, that will solve the problem."

"How could Wei Yenwu possibly have such a person around him?"

"Who said there isn't?"

Luo Chen stared intently into Chen Huijie's eyes halfway through his sentence.

Wei Yenwu had no children. Besides his wife, whom he cared about most, the only other person he cared about was Chen Huijie.

Even Talulah could not possibly hold the same importance in Wei Yenwu's heart as Chen Huijie.

"You mean Luo Chen wants to support me as his proxy? He wants me to stage a coup in Lungmen! Does he think I'm a fool?"

Chen Huijie snorted coldly.

She knew which factors led to her predictions being only half correct.

That means I'm too conservative and don't dare to think about it.

Luo Chen only cares about maximizing profits, and never about the success rate.

Talulah continued:

"Of course he doesn't think you're stupid, that's why he came to me, wanting me to deceive you and trick you into accepting his plan."

"He wants to use me to make you hate those conglomerates, then purge all disobedient capital and corporations, and then simultaneously control the Lungmen Guard Department and the Reunion Movement, becoming the local tyrant of Lungmen and establishing the order he desires."

An indescribable light flickered in Chen Huijie's eyes; she seemed to have already sketched out the outline of the entire incident in her mind.

She frowned slightly, her tone tinged with worry:

"You rejected Luo Chen, so he retaliated against you? He sealed your abilities and hired a few people to bully you every day."

Talulah sat to the side, her expression particularly complicated.

As her sister's closest person, she could sense the worry and anger in her sister's heart at that moment.

She sighed softly, her voice low and firm:

"Hmm... No matter how righteous Luo Chen's goal is, I cannot allow others to take advantage of my beloved sister."

"Sister... me too."

Chen Huijie pursed her lips, forgetting her haughty way of calling Talulah by her full name, and instead called her "sister".

Even the most proud and aloof person would be moved to tears in this situation.

"However, our actions have completely ruined Luo Chen's plans. He is now very likely to use the Empire's power to take even more extreme measures against Lungmen."

Talulah added.

Although Luo Chen's plan to use Chen Huijie failed, Luo Chen is the kind of person who will never give up until he achieves his goal.

Even if not for Wei Yenwu, we should think about the future of ordinary people in Lungmen.

"Won't this birth lead to the Reunion Movement attacking Lungmen?"

"It's hard to say. You know Luo Chen; if he could bring in a few more Sarkaz mercenaries, he'd dare to attack Saint Petersburg."

What should we do now?

However, as long as the sisters work together, they will surely be able to protect the Lungmen and thwart Luo Chen's conspiracy.

"First, go back to Lungmen and reclaim your Lungmen Guard Department. Then, we'll find a way to control the Reunion Movement in the Lower City. Once we have all of Lungmen's armed forces under our control..."

"Then we'll negotiate with those large corporations and conglomerates, telling them not to cause trouble and to accept the management and leadership of the Lungmen Guard Department."

"We will not give Luo Chen any excuse to start a war in Lungmen, nor will we give external forces any opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

Talulah simply mentioned a plan in a casual manner.

But it gave Chen Huijie a glimmer of hope. In the past, when she was fighting against Luo Chen alone, she always felt that she had the will but not the strength.

Now that she has her good older sister Talulah to advise her, she actually feels that Luo Chen is nothing special.

As long as the sisters work together, little Luo Chen will be easy to catch.

"Okay, we'll do it your way. I'll head back to the Lungmen Guard Department as soon as we get back to Lungmen."

Chen's eyes were fixed on Lungmen, which was still on the horizon.

With her loved ones by her side, she must now shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving Lungmen.

This feeling reminded her of the chivalrous heroes in martial arts stories.

She now seems to have become the heroine in the story.

Seeing Chen Huijie's childish expression, Luo Chen knew she was dreaming again.

To make her dream even sweeter, Luo Chen stuck out his tongue slightly and said mischievously:

"Xiao Chen, you have to protect me, okay? I'm just a vulnerable young girl right now."

"You're so old, why would you call yourself a young girl?"

Chen Huijie turned her head and glanced at Talulah. The other girl was older than her, so how could she still be considered a young girl?

Then she's no longer a child?

But my older sister looks so beautiful now!

"Xiao Chen, I'm angry."
