The warden chuckled, "No, you see how confident our Lord is, he'll surely handle it with perfect discretion."
"Mm, I hope so!" the SWAT commander nodded and said.
"Brother, spare me!"
Latimo began to grovel, "I beg you, I really can't take it anymore!"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "I don't see your sincerity!"
"You're not my grandson, why should I spare you!"
Latimo wailed, "I'll be your grandson, is that enough?"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered, "Who wants a stinking grandson like you,"
"It's better to confess all the bad things you've done!"
Latimo cried out, "I can't confess, I'll die if I do!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Alright, it seems your suffering isn't enough,"
"Then I'll add another dose!"
Whoosh!
Cheng Xiaofan inserted another bone-seeking needle into him.
Under normal circumstances, one bone-seeking needle
was enough to make someone want to die,
and had no will to live.
Let alone three bone-seeking needles!
Even if Latimo had bones of iron and skin of copper,
he couldn't bear it any longer.
"Aoooow!"
Latimo let out a terrible scream,
and began to wail, "Don't... don't torture me anymore,"
"I'll confess!"
"I'll confess, alright!"
...
Less than an hour passed.
Latimo confessed everything about how he hijacked the gold six years ago,
without missing a single detail.
Afterward, police sirens wailed,
and they rushed to the cemetery in the west of the city...
However, none of this had anything to do with Cheng Xiaofan anymore.
Just as he got into the car with the Lorraine sisters,
and arrived at the royal palace,
the police cars had already reached the cemetery,
and a group of police officers were busy digging up the gold buried there.
"My Lord, thank you for your hard work!"
At this moment, Moncitz saw Cheng Xiaofan get out of the car,
and greeted him with smiles, along with the ministers.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Old Meng, no need for formalities,"
"It was just a small effort, hardly worth mentioning!"
Moncitz said, "My Lord, as soon as you appeared,"
" you solved the six-year-old cold case,"
"it's truly remarkable!"
"You really shouldn't be so modest!"
Entering the palace, Cheng Xiaofan found that Xiang Wanli and Yang Jigang were both present,
and even the other three who had accompanied the team were here.
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but smile and say, "Beautiful Xiang, Old Yang, you're here too!"
Xiang Wanli smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, His Majesty the King sent people to pick us up,"
"He said he'd be hosting us at the royal palace for lunch!"
Moncitz said, "My Lord, you're in a hurry to return tomorrow,"
"I must do my duty as a host,"
"and entertain Director Xiang and her team!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and smiled, "You can arrange it then!"
It was already lunchtime.
The group was led into the most luxurious restaurant in the royal palace.
This restaurant was specifically used by Moncitz to entertain distinguished guests.
Most foreign guests were accommodated at the state guesthouse.
During the meal, Queen Wanke, along with Lorraine and Fenny, also joined them.
Chef Huang Hongyuan was also invited to the table.
Huang Hongyuan looked at Cheng Xiaofan and said, "Sect Master Cheng,"
"I heard from His Majesty the King that you're returning to your country tomorrow?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Yes, there are many things at home,"
"and the epidemic here has stabilized, so I naturally have to rush back."
Huang Hongyuan said, "Mai Jiaxi from Huashang Street said that before you leave,"
"he wants to lead the heads of the entire Chamber of Commerce in a banquet for you!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "Huang Hongyuan, please convey my thanks to Old Mai for me,"
"This time is tight, so I won't trouble him!"
This banquet lasted until past two in the afternoon.
As Cheng Xiaofan was about to return to the state guesthouse, he was detained by Moncitz.
"My Lord, I'll send someone to escort Director Xiang back immediately,"
"and I kindly ask you to stay here for a while, I have something to discuss with you."
Cheng Xiaofan asked with a smile, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Please wait a moment, My Lord, don't be impatient!" Moncitz said with a smile.
Only when the restaurant was left with Queen Wanke, Lorraine, and Fenny,
did Moncitz pull Cheng Xiaofan to sit down and gesture for Lorraine and Fenny to serve tea.
After taking a few sips of tea, he finally spoke,
"My Lord, you haven't forgotten, have you,"
"Lorraine and Fenny are the Queen's adopted sisters,"
"and the Queen has already betrothed them to you!"
"You can't just cast these two aside!"
"You know, there's a rule in our small country,"
"the Queen's promises must be fulfilled,"
"otherwise, it would be a breach of faith!"
"..." Cheng Xiaofan's head began to ache upon hearing this.
He had truly not taken the Queen's promise seriously at the time,
and he hadn't expected Moncitz to bring it up again.
"Old Meng, you should understand the situation in China,"
Cheng Xiaofan looked at Lorraine and Fenny present,
and scratched his head with great difficulty, saying,
"I already have a girlfriend at home,"
"and I'll be getting married not long from now."
Moncitz smiled and said, "What does that matter?"
"Lorraine and Fenny don't care about status,"
"they don't demand that you marry them."
Cheng Xiaofan knew that the situation in the small country was special,
with more women than men. Unlike other Western countries,
polygamy was common.
Moncitz had already said this much,
and Cheng Xiaofan couldn't outright refuse,
after all, the young ladies also had their pride.
"Old Meng, can you let me think about this matter!"
Cheng Xiaofan said with great distress.
Moncitz smiled and said, "My Lord, you don't need to think about it,"
"I plan to establish an office in China within the next few days,"
"and the Lorraine sisters will be in charge there, focusing on investment in China,"
"Economically, the two countries can establish a strategic partnership."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "This is indeed a good thing for both countries!"
Moncitz said, "Of course it's a good thing, but the prerequisite is that My Lord,"
"should take good care of the two sisters from now on!"
"After all, they are your women!"
The topic quickly circled back.
Cheng Xiaofan felt that if he refused again,
it would be truly heartless.
He nodded speechlessly,
and said, "Old Meng, you've really put in a lot of effort,"
"I understand this matter now!"
Moncitz continued, "In addition, I need to report to My Lord,"
"that the Golden Pavilion is under construction, and once it's completed,"
"along with the 2,500 tons of gold that will be awarded,"
"I will arrange for a special person to air-freight it to you!"
In fact, Cheng Xiaofan really wanted to tell him,
that when the Golden Pavilion was completed,
he only needed to make a phone call,
and he would fly there in minutes with the Sky-Piercer Eagle,
and with a wave of his hand, it would be loaded into his space and taken back.
But!
This was really hard to say.
Moreover, his portable space,
was not something he could easily reveal to everyone.
"Old Meng, there's no need to rush this!"
