Chapter 173 I Never Taught You to Lie

(The chapter name is wrong, it's Chapter 173, the damn chapter name can't be changed. Damn.)

The time is moved forward 48 hours, and the location is a seafood processing factory that is still in operation in the deep anchor area of ​​Opportunity City.

The temperature in Opportunity City has risen to 30 degrees in the past few days. In addition, it is close to the sea, and the humid and hot air makes people sweat all over.

Shirtless workers are processing batches of fish and freezing them with ice cubes for transportation to other cities.

Henard, holding a bag of food and water bought from the supermarket, walked through the workshop of the processing plant, and went down an inconspicuous staircase to an open basement.

In the basement, the old air conditioner made a whirring sound, and the temperature was kept at 24 degrees, which was very comfortable.

Before opening the green iron door, Heinard could hear the sound of a woman's breath coming from inside.

The space in this basement is not small. It has been used as a warehouse before, but under the arrangement of Pihom, it has become a secret safe house.

Lucina was wearing mint shorts and a black belly-baring tight vest, doing one-handed push-ups.

The doctor at Pihom had warned Lucina that her internal organs were slightly damaged and it was best not to do any exercise for a week, but she was so active that she didn't take the doctor's words to heart.

Her slightly curly dark brown long hair was tied into a ponytail, and there were bandages wrapped around her waist and abdomen, and thick gauze on one side of her cheek. It was a miracle that she could survive the battle with all four limbs intact in the psychic.

"For rehabilitation exercises, the intensity of your movements is a bit too high." Heinard knew his daughter's personality and did not dissuade her too much.

He put the large shopping bag in his hand on the table beside him and took out a three-layer beef burger from it.

"You know, Dad, exercise can cure all diseases." Lucina finished her movements, stretched her muscles and bones, and walked to the table.

Heinard handed the burger to Lucina, and then helped his daughter unscrew a large bottle of mineral water.

"Oh, by the way, how can we miss this." Heinard smiled and took out a large box of Twinkies cream sandwich cakes from the big shopping bag. Lucina laughed and held the box of cakes in her arms.

Twinkies cream sandwich cakes are the most popular high-calorie snacks in the United States. The reason for naming them "twins" may be because of their simple price and sufficient quantity, one box is enough for two children.

In addition to dealing with children, many young people and adults also like this cream cake because its cream tastes sweet and fragrant, and the taste is pleasant but not too sweet.

In short, it is a snack that can make people forget about obesity phobia.

Lucina's exercise volume can hold this high-calorie food, and she doesn't care much about her weight.

"It's great to see you jumping around, my girl." Heinard sat aside, watching Lucina feasting.

"Me too, Dad." Lucina touched Heinard's somewhat old hand.

"I used to be too obsessed with Margaret...your mother...to the point of not wanting to accept reality...and ignoring your feelings." Heinard said.

"All this is over, we have a new beginning, right? Mom would also hope that we can live a normal life." Lucina also sat down.

"That's right, girl, you are right, we should cherish the present." Heinard comforted.

"Dad, you are definitely not here to say this, right?" Lucina looked at Heinard, she understood her father's thoughts.

"That's right...you know why I came, just like I know you really want to ask me about Chen Ke..." Heinard laughed.

"He didn't come to see me, didn't you tell him where I was? I don't think this place needs to be kept secret from him." Lucina's tone was a little anxious.

"It's not what you think, Lucina, Pihom and I now regard him as our own. His actions have proved his role and loyalty to the postman. The last step is to call the postman together and formally introduce him to all members in the south and the north." Heinard shook his head.

"That means he... doesn't want to come?" Lucina frowned, with some disappointment in her eyes.

"I don't know, maybe he is too cautious, or he has encountered some trouble. We can't contact him these two days." Heinard said.

"Can't contact...? What do you mean?" Lucina asked immediately.

"His phone is out of service area. Either he removed the phone card or went to a place with no signal." Heinard said.

Lucina stood up slowly, threw the half-eaten hamburger on the table, stared at Heinard, and said angrily: "It seems that you are not in a hurry at all?"

"Don't get excited, girl, we have to keep a low profile for the time being, remember? Maybe he is just using his own unique way to disappear. Didn't Hall and Priskin come to see you?" Heinard laughed.

"What if Chen Ke really gets into trouble? Shouldn't we confirm this first? But you know, after I was kidnapped by those weirdos, he immediately got me out, and you actually let him disappear for two days?" Lucina was a little excited.

"Girl...Girl, sit down, listen to me carefully, sit down." Heinard knew Lucina's mood, he held Lucina's arm and asked her to calm down.

Lucina sat down slowly and looked at Heinard with pleading eyes.

"You like him, right? I can see it." Heinard said.

Lucina didn't say anything, but her breathing quickened a little.

"But I still want to advise you to stay away from him." Heinard said lightly.

"I don't understand what you mean, Dad." Lucina shook her head.

"Tell me, Lucina, how did he get you out of a group of weirdos?" Heinard asked.

Lucina thought about it, but she didn't know it herself, because she fainted when she saw Chen Ke pointing a gun at her, but she did see Chen Ke using his psychic power to defeat a big guy.

"He's very powerful, Dad, he's more powerful than you think, he never misses a shot, he's a killer among killers, and he's also very good at close combat..." Lucina talked endlessly, she would definitely not tell the postman and other people that Chen Ke was a psychic.

"Girl... I taught you everything I have, but I didn't teach you to lie, so you won't lie..." Heinard shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Lucina sighed, she also knew that she couldn't deceive Heinard.

"That Chen Ke, he also doesn't lie. Now I don't know whether to call him Chen Ke, Link, or Lin Mo..." Heinard laughed.

"What did he tell you?" Lucina asked curiously.

"I worked with a defected killer from the S Group a year ago. Believe it or not, he looks exactly like Chen Ke. And he's dead." Heinard said lightly.

As he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, but thinking that Lucina didn't like the smell of tobacco, he quietly put it back in his pocket.

"You told me that Chen Ke's name is Link, and he is Lin Mo's brother." Lucina laughed.

"Do you believe it? Link is Lin Mo's brother, but he doesn't know Lin Mo's sister." Heinard laughed.

Lucina didn't speak.

"And it's not like I haven't dealt with Asra before. It's not like I have no chance of winning against a silent witch, but that's limited to one-on-one and long-distance sneak attacks. With Asra's style, it's impossible for both of you to come back alive in the deal that night." Heinard said slowly.

Lucina knew what her father was going to say, he had seen through it a long time ago.

"Besides, he told me that he had dealt with the silent witch. I would rather believe what he said, but I can't believe that a man can save you from Asra's trap with just a pistol." Heinard said.

"Priskin told me that they scanned Chen Ke with equipment. He didn't have liquefied psychic energy. He was not a psychic, and he never used psychic energy during the operation." Lucina said, she was doing her best to keep Chen Ke's secret.

"This is where he is most dangerous... He is either a monster we have never seen, or he didn't die that time, but lost his memory and gained mysterious power. In short..." Heinard analyzed.

"Anyway, he saved me and didn't do anything to harm us." Lucina retorted.

Henard sighed, looked at the anxious Lucina, and said earnestly: "Lucina, I'm glad that you can meet someone who can open your heart to you at this age. I also hope you can be happy, but I can't let my daughter fall into danger. Those who fall in love with the devil will be devoured by the devil."

"Dad... he is not a devil. I have never seen a devil save people." Lucina said.
