Chapter 1591 A Celebration Banquet Is About to Be Held

After that, there were successive condolences from family members. Some of these condolences were heart-warming, some were inspirational, some were said a lot but I didn't understand what they meant, and some "silly guy" took the opportunity to force marriage.

I smiled politely at first, but later on, I became completely numb. You guys can say whatever you like, and I can listen to whatever I like.

After shouting in vain for three hours, everyone retreated, and Emily accompanied the Elf Queen back home, leaving only Master Dewey and us.

Master Dewey picked up an apple, peeled it, cut it into pieces, and inserted a smaller piece into it. While feeding it to me, he said, "These people are gone, why are you still laughing?"

I twitched the corners of my mouth and said harshly: "I've been laughing for too long and my muscles have become stiff. I have to slow down."

Master Dewey stuffed the apple chunks into my mouth, put down the knife, frowned, and remained silent.

After a while, he sighed heavily and said: "I really didn't expect that there would be someone who dared to assassinate me, Dewey, on the territory of Fort Vicky."

"Just before today, I kept telling myself that Fort Wych was monolithic, with only external enemies and no internal disputes." He laughed at himself twice and continued: "It seems that this kind of self-hypnosis has reached its peak. It’s time to give up.”

After swallowing the apple chunks with juice and meat, I suddenly felt that my dry throat was filled with humidity, and even my voice gained strength when I spoke: "One kind of rice can feed all kinds of people. You can't ask everyone to be as caring as you are." The country, giving up everything for the benefit of the country, if that were the case, Wychburg would certainly become monolithic, but this would be too lifeless.”

"What are you talking about?" Master Dewey glared at me and said, "All people care about the country. Isn't this a great good thing?"

"From the perspective of those in power, this is a great good thing, but from the perspective of national development, this is a great bad thing."

"Why?"

"To maintain a country, we need common thoughts, common concepts, and the same direction, but if we want to develop a country, we need to question. Only by questioning can we discover mistakes. Only when we find mistakes can we have the opportunity to correct mistakes and move in the right direction. develop."

"What does this have to do with what I just said?" Master Dewey picked up a piece of apple, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it. While chewing, he said vaguely: "What I just said was the traitor who wanted to murder me. rather than different thoughts.”

I curled my lips and said helplessly, "You clearly mentioned an 'internal dispute' just now, but you didn't name the traitor."

"You have to let me point it out," Master Dewey said angrily: "You kid, your brain must have been hit by the monster's tentacles."

I:

After eating another piece of apple, I finally gathered enough strength to sit up from the bed, leaning on the bedside, panting slightly. After I got into a comfortable position, I said: "As for the traitor, you'd better withdraw the investigation as soon as possible. It is like a thorn in the flesh, a thorn in the side. If you don't remove it for a moment, it will burrow into your flesh an inch more. It will not stop until you remove it completely or it kills you."

"Well" Master Dewey breathed out heavily and said: "I will start a thorough investigation as soon as possible, but Xiaoyi, if a similar situation happens again in the future, don't be so impulsive as I am today. A business empire cannot be inherited by anyone.”

"I understand what you mean." I looked at him and said slowly, "But if you were me, what would you do?"

Master Dewey was silent.

I reached for a piece of apple and put it into my mouth. I planned to change the topic and asked, "By the way, Master Dewey, have you seen my knife?"

"Your knife is now in the secret room. When you recover, I will return the knife to you."

Having said this, Master Dewey sighed softly and said with emotion: "You, you, you really will never forget your identity as an adventurer until your death."

"ha?"

"When half of your body was shattered by the tentacles, you even lost consciousness. You didn't forget to hold the handle of the knife tightly. You were more entangled than a pair of life-and-death lovers."

Master Dewey shook his head and said with a smile: "Later, you were rescued ashore. It took a lot of effort for us to pry your fingers off and take off the knife. To be honest, I was always worried when we pried off your fingers. I'm afraid I'll break your fingers off."

"There's this thing!" I said in surprise.

"Isn't that right?" Master Dewey laughed and said, "After making sure everything was fine, your father-in-law praised you as a good prospect for an adventurer."

"Hey," I laughed for a moment, then asked, "What happened after I was hit by the tentacle, and how was I rescued?"

"It was the national forces that rushed in to save you," Master Dewey said, "What a critical moment. You were knocked out more than ten meters by that blow and were about to sink to the bottom of the sea. My daughter-in-law was so anxious at that time. I planned to forcefully break down the door and go out to rescue you. Fortunately, the state power came at this time, and she finally calmed down, and my old life was finally saved from being drowned in the sea."

I thought about it and asked curiously: "What did the Elf Queen do at that time?"

"The girl was stunned at the time. She stood there like a piece of wood. Hey, it's not her fault. Who knew the accident happened so quickly? I thought the monster was definitely dead," Master Dewey said with lingering fear.

"Well, it happened quite suddenly," I said.

Finally, he asked again: "Have you put away the broken chain?"

"I've asked people from the investigation team to thoroughly investigate the matter, but I'm afraid they won't be able to find any results."

"Why is this?"

Master Dewey snorted coldly and said: "The person who directly tampered with the chain is just a small role under the command. Even if he is arrested and brought to justice, it will not help. I am afraid there is someone else who actually gave the order. Besides, what happened now It’s been so long, I’m afraid the minor characters have been eliminated.”

"You mean to kill and silence?"

"It's not possible to silence them," Master Dewey said. "That would lead to a big incident. It's not a crime, but it's possible to kill a lot of people."

"That's right," I said, "Then what are you going to do next? Should you check accidental deaths and missing persons first, or collect intelligence first and wait and see what happens?"

"Who taught you these?" Master Dewey frowned and asked.

"No one taught me," I said, "I figured it out myself."

"No wonder" Master Dewey shook his head and said, "If someone really taught you to do this, I would definitely beat him. Wouldn't this lead to the destruction of my son?"

"Huh?" I asked in confusion: "What do you mean by this? Do you mean that my idea is wrong?"

"Of course that's wrong," Master Dewey said, "Whether it's investigating the case or collecting intelligence, that's not what I should do now. The first thing I have to do now is hold a celebration banquet."
