Chapter 123

"Miss, could I have a drink?"

Makuku spoke, Xiao Huasheng came over upon hearing him, happily offering him a plate and saying with a smile, "Of course... Oh."

The moment their eyes met, the red-haired Angel's expression turned to surprise.

"Ma, Makuku? What are you doing here?"

The Queen of Hatred and Ku Tang, who were working together elsewhere, came upon hearing the news and saw Xiao Huasheng and Makuku.

Instead, Makuku placed a blue chip on her tray and took the bottle of champagne.

"Hey, wait a minute?" Xiao Huasheng hadn't even had a chance to speak.

He then proceeded to guzzle the opened champagne straight from the bottle, completely lacking in manners.

Glug glug.

The liquor poured from the bottle neck, refracting a golden light under the bottle's lamp.

Makuku tilted his head back, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down with each swallow, excess liquor spilling from the corners of his mouth and sliding down his jawline.

Glug, glug.

The bubbles churned violently inside the bottle, making a faint hissing sound, but they couldn't keep up with the speed at which he poured the wine.

The wine flowed down his long neck, soaking the collar of his shirt. The dark fabric gradually became seeped through and clung to his collarbone.

His chest rose and fell slightly, the liquor trickling down his clothes.

The surrounding crowd fell silent without him noticing, and all eyes were on him.

A few drops of wine clung to Makuku's eyelashes, glistening under the light.

When he finally put down the empty bottle, a trace of foam still lingered on the corner of his lips.

He casually rubbed his thumb across his fingertip, then lightly licked it with the tip of his tongue, his brow furrowing slightly.

"As expected..." His voice was low and tinged with helplessness, "I'm still not good at drinking sparkling wine."

Amazing!

The word exploded in everyone's mind, but no one dared to say it aloud.

They just stared blankly at the man who had just finished downing a whole bottle of champagne; to them, it seemed like his last act of madness after suffering a crushing defeat.

Xiao Huasheng, holding the empty tray, blinked. "... You finished drinking? Right?"

Makuku nodded calmly and placed the empty bottle back on her tray.

"Um."

After saying that, Xiao Huasheng threw the tray down, and the tray and champagne shattered on the ground with a crash.

Xiao Huasheng immediately stepped forward and choked the pretentious Makuku on the spot.

She locked Makuku's throat in her hand, and Angela, who had been hiding behind her, rushed over without saying a word.

Makuku was arrested on the spot.

"Wait, wait a minute?"

Slightly flustered, Makuku spoke, for this was the first time in so many reincarnations that he had appeared before Xiao Huasheng.

As a result, they were kidnapped on the spot by these two Angel as soon as they arrived.

He suddenly realized that it was a mistake to appear before them without having gathered enough information!

Everyone else stared blankly at the scene, and before anyone could utter a sound, they suddenly realized that it all made sense.

That's right, it's reasonable for Xiao Huasheng and Angela, the two waitresses, to kidnap the customer!

Although they didn't know the two people's names, they felt it was perfectly reasonable.

The powerful hand of Reality Warping has exerted its force.

Just a moment ago, Makuku was elegant and composed, but now his feet suddenly leave the ground.

It was caught by two Angel working together, who were afraid it would escape.

Xiao Huasheng's red hair brushed against his cheek, carrying a faint, sweet fragrance.

But he couldn't enjoy the delicious aroma.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and the cigarette fell from his mouth, burning a small hole in the carpet.

"Gurgle... you're going to strangle me!" he said with difficulty.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huasheng let out a slight sigh of relief.

Angela, however, wasn't so kind.

Her hands went under Makuku, her fingers interlacing and locking in front of his chest.

Her proud breasts pressed against his back, but the soft touch did not bring him any joy.

"Angela... could you be a little gentler?"

The only response he received was a firmer hold.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" Makuku's breathing became labored again.

This means he has completely lost any chance of breaking free.

Neither of the two Angel showed any intention of letting him go.

"Come quick, help us catch this guy!" Xiao Huasheng shouted.

"Could it be evil?! Here I come!" The Queen of Hatred hopped and skipped over.

"I'm here to help you, supervisor!"

Seeing this, Ku Tang rushed over to help.

Makuku immediately screamed in agony.

Hey! Where are you touching?!

"Wait, that's mine, oh!!"

He immediately screamed in pain, never expecting that being surrounded by four beautiful girls would be such a pleasant experience.

His long legs kicked twice in vain in the air, and his shiny leather shoes knocked over the champagne tower.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, two Angel, accompanied by two employees, carried him toward the employee passage.

The fingers that had been so adept at manipulating the chips were now gripping Xiao Huasheng's forearm tightly, their knuckles white from the force but remaining motionless.

The crystal chandeliers on the casino dome swayed in Makuku's upside-down view.

He noticed that the hem of his suit jacket had been rolled up, revealing the wrinkled hem of his shirt.

I saw Angela's uniform skirt flutter slightly as she ran, and I also saw one of my leather shoes come off during the struggle, landing with a "thud" in front of a bunny girl.

The moment the passageway door closed, Makuku's last shred of dignity, along with the lone leather shoe left behind in the casino, was forever etched in everyone's memory.

Xiao Huasheng and Angela were beaming with joy.

They were both so worried about not having a rollback function, when Makuku just delivered it to their doorstep.

Poor Makuku didn't even get to show off for long.

He was arrested on the spot by two Angel.

Lobotomy Corporation needs you!

Chapter Two: Family Heroes [1 update]

At Ai Er Lan's place.

His hometown is not far from here.

He didn't ask Xiao Huasheng to take him home; Ai Er Lan just wanted to experience the joy of returning home.

Having made the arduous journey home, I'll surely be able to prepare even more gifts and surprise my wife and daughters.

This was one of the few small surprises this middle-aged man could expect.

"The supervisor is really generous; this job change was definitely the right one." Ai Er Lan laughed. He used the funds he received from Xiao Huasheng to buy the nearest plane ticket and some gifts.

He then went into the phone booth, inserted coins, and called his wife and daughter.

The call was answered quickly.

A polite but slightly weary voice came out.

Hello? Who are you?

"Hey, guess who I am?" Ai Er Lan said, a cigarette dangling from his lips, unable to stop laughing as he held the phone in his hands.

"Ai Er Lan?!" A shocked voice came from the other end of the phone. "Weren't you dead? You're not dead? You're not dead!"

"How could I die?"

Ai Er Lan's fingers trembled slightly, and cigarette ash fell softly onto the floor of the phone booth.

He had only one thought in his mind.

This might be a confidentiality agreement the Foundation used to deal with him when he switched jobs.

As long as it's announced that he's dead, it can be kept secret for a while, and no one will know that he changed jobs.

After all, the person is dead; they can't change jobs anymore.

"This is truly..." Ai Er Lan couldn't help but click his tongue. The Foundation really went all out.

Then, his wife's joyful cries came from the other end of the phone.

"But... but they all said you were dead! I'm so glad you're alright... hahaha, waaaaah!"

"That's their secrecy measure, isn't it?" Ai Er Lan said slowly, letting her know he was safe.

A series of loud sobs came from the other end of the phone.

His wife's breathing became rapid, like a drowning person finally surfacing.

"They...they brought your work badge back..." Her voice trembled so much it was almost incoherent, "And your coat, it was covered in blood..."

She suddenly choked up, the memory alone suffocating her. "I... I personally put your things into the coffin..."

"Those are all lies, right?"

Ai Er Lan's heart clenched suddenly, and the cigarette slipped from his fingers, burning his trouser leg without him even noticing.

He opened his mouth, but found his throat dry, and could only manage a low murmur, "... I'm sorry, I made you worry."

His wife couldn't help but complain, and Ai Er Lan listened attentively.

The wife took a deep breath, her voice soft and trembling. "... Lily was sleeping with your picture in her arms yesterday."

Ai Er Lan could imagine what she looked like right now.

"When the company people came to deliver the belongings..." She paused, as if gathering her emotions, "Lily asked me, 'Where did Daddy go?'"

All I can say is... you've gone to the stars.

"How should I tell her now?" The wife suddenly chuckled softly, sniffed, and said, "Should I tell her that Daddy came back from the stars?"

"Sorry, I didn't tell you I was changing jobs," Ai Er Lan continued. "I changed jobs, maybe that's why the company resorted to this tactic?"

"This company actually did this kind of thing. What were you doing all this time?"

Ai Er Lan: "There's still work to be done over there."

"Your previous company was a complete scumbag! And now they're pulling this kind of stunt!" the wife couldn't help but yell.

"Hahaha..."

Ai Er Lan could only force a smile, but after learning that he was alright, his wife's emotions clearly calmed down considerably.

"Lily, come here quickly, listen to whose voice this is!"

A little girl's indistinct voice came from the far end of the phone, "Mommy, who is it...?"

"Hello?"

A clear, childlike voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Bong!" He couldn't help but startle his daughter after hearing the sound.
