131: Chapter 60, This is your duty
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Lin Xiaohu opened the door and saw three people standing outside.
"Mr. Lin, we are the waiters specially arranged by Minister Li Jianshen; my name is Xie An!"
Xie An bowed very politely.
"Mr. Lin, my name is Chen Song, and he is Liu Feng; we are all here to serve you!"
The three of them said very respectfully.
"Then how do you intend to serve me?"
Lin Xiaohu looked at them playfully; the moment he saw them, his super brain had already pulled up their information.
They were all newly trained spies from the Great Yan Empire, and they still had the nerve to call themselves waiters?
Since when did spies become so low-end?
"Mr. Lin, is this your first time in the capital?"
Xie An asked.
"Ah, no, I've been here quite a few times already!"
Lin Xiaohu smiled, wanting to see exactly what they were up to.
"Then, sir, have you been to the Jin Sheng Tea House?"
"You want to take me to the Jin Sheng Tea House?"
Lin Xiaohu asked in surprise.
"Of course, if you would like to go, sir."
"Won't that delay Prime Minister Liu Sheng from seeing me?"
Upon hearing this, a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the few. How could you just call Prime Minister Liu Sheng by his name?
As expected, he has no sense of belonging to the country; he is someone who must be dealt with!
"It won't. If Prime Minister Liu Sheng wants to see you, he will notify us immediately!"
"Then when will he be able to see me?"
"This, we don't know either. We are only following orders to accompany you. As you know, Prime Minister Liu Sheng, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, has many matters to handle every day! So..."
"So it might be tomorrow, or it might be the day after. But he said that we must not neglect Mr. Lin!"
"Alright, then you stay outside and keep watch. I will call you if I need anything!"
Saying this, Lin Xiaohu closed the door.
Leaving a few spies there, looking at each other in dismay.
Once the door was closed, Lin Xiaohu's expression darkened.
"Prime Minister Liu Sheng, it's up to you now. You'd better not court death!"
Meanwhile, the few people outside the door stood there dumbfounded.
They had considered many options, but they never expected this outcome.
Being directly shut out, leaving them to wait outside like real waiters, ready to serve.
"He this..."
"Don't talk, just stand properly. You are a waiter now, not anything else, understand?"
"Yes!"
In the following half-month.
Lin Xiaohu stayed in his room, doing nothing but eating and practicing his Mind-Cultivation Technique, without stepping out for even a moment.
This caused all their planned schemes to fall through; they didn't even have an hour of contact time.
They were just like servants, delivering meals to Lin Xiaohu or buying things for him.
They didn't even have time to say a word, just rushing by.
Gradually, they were losing their patience, while Lin Xiaohu remained leisurely and content.
On one hand, he was training the people brought over by his super brain in the metaverse, and on the other, he was designing how to reorganize Blue Star.
There were people here responsible for his food and drink, so he didn't have to worry about anything at all, just like being in his own manor.
This caused the few young men to lose their patience.
One time, Chen Song couldn't help but put truth serum in the food, but the food sent in was immediately sent back.
And he even made Chen Song eat all of that food in front of Lin Xiaohu.
No matter how others tried to persuade him, Lin Xiaohu insisted that Chen Song finish it, and no one else could eat it for him.
This made the other two feel their scalps go numb, and they immediately notified Minister Li Jianshen and Chen Fei.
Even when Minister Li Jianshen rushed over, he couldn't stop it from happening.
Lin Xiaohu just glanced at him coldly and said, "How about you finish it?"
Minister Li Jianshen didn't speak.
He could only watch helplessly as Chen Song swallowed the food as if he had eaten a fly.
Only after questioning did they find out that Chen Song had privately put truth serum in the food, which made Lin Xiaohu fly into such a rage.
Minister Li Jianshen was instantly enraged, glaring at Chen Fei and the others.
He wanted to kill the bastard Chen Song.
Did he know who they were facing right now?
It's the world's number one expert, and you actually dared to mess around like this, even trying to use truth serum—were you trying to interrogate him?
He was truly furious!
He had gone to great lengths to get Lin Xiaohu to come to the capital, but after he arrived, half a month had already passed.
What on earth are you all trying to do?
"Minister Li Jianshen, let me handle this matter. You go and busy yourself!"
Chen Fei pulled Minister Li Jianshen aside and said.
"You... Lord Chen, how do you intend to handle it?"
Minister Li Jianshen asked worriedly.
"It's not convenient to tell you that. Anyway, I will handle this matter!"
Chen Fei asked Minister Li Jianshen to leave, which left the latter feeling very helpless.
He wanted to give a warning, but he knew Chen Fei wouldn't listen to him; he would only listen to Prime Minister Liu Sheng.
He had no choice but to leave helplessly.
Chen Fei watched as Chen Song finished the food and then sat blankly on the ground, his eyes dull, muttering to himself, with saliva flowing from the corner of his mouth, just like someone with an intellectual disability.
This made Chen Fei feel very irritated.
"This idiot!"
"Mr. Lin, I apologize. My subordinate acted improperly, and I am here to offer my apologies!"
Chen Fei took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Lin Xiaohu.
Lin Xiaohu didn't speak, just looked at him coldly, waiting to see what other tricks he could perform.
"May I go inside to talk?"
Chen Fei stood up and asked, pointing inside the room.
"Sure!"
Lin Xiaohu stepped aside to let Chen Fei in.
He didn't offer him tea, just told him to sit wherever he liked.
"Lord Chen, if you have anything to say, go ahead!"
Lin Xiaohu sat on a chair and said, looking at Chen Fei.
"Mr. Lin, do you know why Prime Minister Liu Sheng asked you to come here this time?"
Chen Fei took a deep breath, hiding the anger in his heart.
He didn't expect Lin Xiaohu to dare to treat him like this, and to treat his subordinate like that; didn't he know who he was?
"Tell me, I really don't know!"
"Mr. Lin, your Lin Family Manor is too special in the Great Yan Empire; the Great Yan Empire cannot have such a special existence!"
Chen Fei said, looking directly at Lin Xiaohu.
"So, you want me to move away?"
Lin Xiaohu asked, feigning ignorance.
"Mr. Lin, you are a sensible person, why pretend to be foolish?"
"I believe you also know what I am talking about; the Empire needs your help!"
Chen Fei said seriously.
"Oh? Then how do you want me to help?"
Chen Fei was silent for a while before speaking.
"Hand over Lin Family Manor to the state, let the state move in, conduct research together, and it must accept the state's control!"
Chen Fei said forcefully.
"I believe Mr. Lin will understand the state's good intentions!"
"Then what can the state give me?"
Lin Xiaohu asked curiously.
"Mr. Lin, you are a citizen of the Great Yan Empire, so you have an obligation to contribute to the country. We are not stripping you of your Lin Family Manor, just having you accept the state's control; there cannot be any uncontrollable forces!"
Chen Fei emphasized seriously again.
"In other words, I get nothing, and I must still hand over Lin Family Manor to the state for control?"
Lin Xiaohu looked at the brazen Chen Fei in shock.
He had never seen such a shameless person!
"I said, this is your obligation!"
Chen Fei said forcefully again.
