Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 569

[Chapter 566 Xiaoxi’s Commission]

The haunted incident in Fenglin Building was perfectly resolved with the help of David and Ma Xiaoling.

The people in the Special Affairs Investigation Department have made a good start for the new department, and with the experience of dealing with evil spirits this time, they will definitely be able to handle similar situations in the future better.

Especially after the equipment and props provided by David have arrived one after another; Zhang Tianshi and Zhong Daochang tutored these rookies in various “professional knowledge” every now and then.

The Special Affairs Investigation Department, with upgraded equipment and skills, is gradually taking shape. Superintendent Hu feels that when he receives a case next time, he doesn’t need to call a master to calm the situation at the first time, but let his men try to solve it first.

In addition, after returning, Ma Xiaoling told her fellow monks in Hong Kong about the suspected Japanese spell found in Fenglin Building.

It is said that some monks have begun to investigate this matter through their own information channels.

However, these things have nothing to do with David. After he helped to deal with the matter of Fenglin Building and made all the props that Superintendent Hu wanted, he was free.

“Boss, have some tea!” After working for a while, Ruan Mei became more familiar with David and Cheng Le’er. When she talked to David, she was no longer as weak as she was at the beginning. She could talk to David normally. She

no longer used the unfamiliar name “Mr. Glamorgan” but changed to boss.

“Hmm!” After taking a sip of the teacup, David looked at the beige suit that Ruan Mei wore almost every day and asked her curiously: “Did you buy a lot of the same clothes?”

“No, they are all the same.”

David was speechless and asked Ruan Mei to buy a few more sets: “There is nothing to do today, you can buy a few more sets, so that you can change them.”

“Ah? No need? One set is too expensive.”

“The company will reimburse.” David waved his hand speechlessly. Although his company is not big, it is not short of money for Ruan Mei to buy a few sets of clothes: “Choose a few sets of different styles and colors.”

“What different styles? Colors?”

Cheng Le’er heard the suspicious conversation as soon as she came in, and looked at David and Ruan Mei strangely.

“I asked her to buy a few more sets of clothes to change into.”

“Oh, is that so!” Cheng Le’er suddenly realized: “I wanted to buy a few more sets at that time, but Ah Mei said she would not agree to anything! Look, the big boss is not satisfied, right? It happens that I have nothing to do today, let’s go shopping together!”

“Ah? Manager Cheng, but I’m at work!”

“What kind of work? Didn’t the big boss ask you to buy clothes? This is your job today.” Cheng Le’er pulled Ruan Mei and prepared to leave, and said hello to David: “By the way, Xiaoxi said she would come to see you today, and it seems that she needs your help.”

“Xiaoxi? Then I’ll wait for her here at the company.”

“If you want to leave the company, remember to call me, and I won’t call you for lunch.”

After seeing David making a gesture of understanding, Cheng Le’er happily took Ruan Mei away.

Although she liked David very much, she didn’t want to stay together every day, and it was more fun to go shopping with girls. In addition to helping to carry things, boys could not give any useful suggestions, and even couldn’t give a satisfactory response.

Watching the two women leave, David leaned back in his chair and started to be in a daze holding a teacup.

Sophia was still wandering around with Sansa, and now Cheng Le’er was also shopping. If Cheng Xiaoxi hadn’t come over, he could have gone to Hu Huishan to have a good chat about joining Winter City.

What should he say? Would he be misunderstood as actually plotting against her? Although this was a fact, it would be too embarrassing to be seen through at a glance.

Chen Xiaosheng was easier to deal with. He put out all kinds of chips directly, and it was just a matter of one sentence to agree or not.

Slurp~

After taking another sip of tea, David looked at the time and decided not to wait.

How long would it take to wait like this? Contact Cheng Xiaoxi directly with the multi-function tool, at least to ask clearly when she could arrive.

He sent a communication request, but after waiting for a while, Cheng Xiaoxi didn’t get through, but hung up directly.

Just as he was about to send a message to ask her what time she would come, Cheng Xiaoxi had already appeared in David’s sight: “Oh? What a coincidence!”

If it were usual, Cheng Xiaoxi would definitely make a few jokes, but today she looked worried, and obviously she was not in the mood to joke.

Seeing this situation, David also put on a serious expression, stood up and asked Cheng Xiaoxi to sit on the sofa, and poured her a glass of water.

“What happened?”

“David, Winter City… can cancer be cured?” Cheng Xiaoxi had seen many miracles in Winter City, but she had only been there for a few days, so it was impossible for her to have a clear grasp of all aspects of the situation.

Just like in the medical field, she only knew that Winter City had the magical power of Holy Light, and the Cathedral of Holy Light almost took care of all kinds of medical work in Winter City. On the contrary, not many people went to the hospital that had been built for some time.

Holy Light is magical, but what is its ability to cure diseases? She didn’t know what diseases can be cured and what diseases can’t be cured.

So after finding David this time, she asked if cancer could be cured.

“Cancer? Who has cancer? Your relatives?”

“My dad.”

“Oh!” David was about to answer that he could cure it, but then he remembered that Cheng Xiaoxi’s father didn’t actually have cancer. He just made a test report to fool his three daughters, in order to urge them to find boyfriends.

In the plot, the three daughters also used their own magic to catch three people to pretend to be boyfriends, ready to fool their father who had a terminal illness.

Thinking of this, David suddenly became curious. In this comprehensive world, which three people would the three sisters of the Cheng family find to pretend to be their boyfriends?

“Can it be cured?” Cheng Xiaoxi was waiting for David to give an accurate answer, but she didn’t hear the answer after waiting for a long time. When she looked up and saw David thinking about something, she felt cold in her heart, thinking that the Holy Light had no effect on cancer. David, whose train of thought

was interrupted, happened to see Cheng Xiaoxi’s face full of disappointment, and quickly explained: “It’s just cancer, it’s very easy to cure. Even if you don’t use the Holy Light, Winter City has many ways to cure this disease… Uh, what kind of cancer is it?”

“Lung cancer.”

“…”

Didn’t you just take a test report of egg cancer to make up the number? Did I make no mistake this time? Did I get the right test report?

“Don’t worry, it’s very treatable. Shall we go to your house now?”

“Really?” Cheng Xiaoxi was originally sad, but when she heard David say that lung cancer could be cured, she stood up in surprise. The low pressure that was visible to the naked eye flew away instantly, and the energetic Banana was resurrected on the spot: “That’s great. If I had known that the Holy Light was so powerful, I shouldn’t have worried all night, and I also discussed with my eldest sister and second sister to hire someone to deceive my father…”

Cheng Xiaoxi suddenly swallowed the words she had not finished. She didn’t want to tell David that she had planned to ask David to pretend to be her boyfriend to fool her father if the Holy Light of Winter City couldn’t cure cancer, so that her father could spend his last days without regrets.

There was no need to mention this matter now, lest David think that she had a good impression of him and stretched out his evil wolf claws to her.

“As for the medical expenses…”

“Promise me your body!”

“Huh?”

Cheng Xiaoxi leaned back, holding her hands in front of her, looking at David with surprise. She didn’t expect David to say such a thing so straightforwardly.

“Why?” David looked at Cheng Xiaoxi with a vigilant face: “What else can you use to pay the medical expenses?”

“Uh…” Cheng Xiaoxi thought about it, and she found that she really couldn’t come up with anything that would satisfy the other party: “How about, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay your majesty’s kindness?”

“Are you sure?” David was not in a hurry to leave. He was idle anyway, so it would be fun to tease a beautiful woman: “If you say so, I can send you to the next life now.”

“…”

I was careless, always ignoring that the person in front of me was not only a king, but also a god with great power. Now he can immediately revive her after beating me to death and let her start the next life on the spot.

As for whether there are any other means? Cheng Xiaoxi didn’t know. Who knows if he can really send me to reincarnate, and then I will really become a cow and a horse? Cheng Xiaoxi

shuddered all over, and felt that if that was the case, it would be better to promise me her body!

“No more jokes, let’s go… Hey? Isn’t that your elder sister?” David had had enough jokes and was about to take Cheng Xiaoxi home to treat her father when he found Cheng Xiaodong walking in.

“Xiaoxi?”

“Eldest sister?”

“Why are you here?” ×2.

The two sisters questioned each other, and the next second they both realized.

“You also want to ask David for help to pretend to be a man…” Before Cheng Xiaodong finished speaking, Cheng Xiaoxi covered her mouth with her hand. However, the difference in their fighting power was too great. Cheng Xiaoxi’s hand only pressed for less than two seconds before Cheng Xiaodong pulled it away and threw it aside: “What are you doing?”

“Eldest sister, there is no need to fool Dad.” In order to prevent her elder sister from revealing their original plan, Cheng Xiaoxi hurriedly explained that she was actually here to ask David for help to treat her father.

“Treatment? Him?” Cheng Xiaodong looked at David in surprise, and then whispered to his third sister: “Can the company he opened treat patients? But even if it can, my dad has cancer!”

“Believe me, David knows a lot of things, and he also knows some special methods. He can definitely cure my dad’s lung cancer.”

“Really?”

Cheng Xiaodong looked at David again with doubt, not understanding why his third sister trusted this man so much?

After leaving the Fugui Maru, Xiaoxi followed David and said that they went back to their hometown. Could it be that the two of them have…

Wanted to ask more clearly, but now was not the right time. Seeing David close and lock the door of the Wanshiwu Company, Cheng Xiaodong prepared to see the situation first.

Unexpectedly, on the way to the car, David and Xiaoxi did not communicate at all. Instead, he asked her: “Officer Cheng, are you interested in changing jobs?”
