The feathers on Li Boli's head trembled.

She presses on step by step:

"If you connect it like this, you suddenly said yesterday that you would go to Penguin Logistics for help, it must be a lie."

"No, no, I really didn't lie. I talked to Serena about Ifrit because... because the doctor gave me her number yesterday. When I was helping Penguin Logistics, I talked to her on the phone. for a while."

Ashe finally came up with a barely reliable rhetoric, and smiled embarrassingly.

But Hemer was unmoved.

She took out her mobile phone directly.

"It's not too far from Longmen here, and the signal should be able to reach Penguin Logistics." Hemo pressed a series of numbers calmly and called.

Ashe was dumbfounded.

"Hey! Distinguished guest! This is the Angel of Penguin Logistics. May I ask what business you need to handle? Our company undertakes all logistics-related work, including but not limited to arms transportation, corpse burial, and bomb packages—"

The phone was connected quickly, and Neng Angel's energetic voice rang out.

Oh oh, fortunately it is Aneng, there is still help, there is still help!

The voice of vitality rekindled Ashe's hope. He was very glad that he had greeted Neng Angel before going to see Saria yesterday. Anyone who mentioned his name, Neng Angel would say that he was in Penguin Logistics all day and night help.

However, Hemer's voice poured cold water on Ashe's newly ignited hope.

"Hello, I'm Hemer, the deputy director of the Rhode Island Medical Department."

She said indifferently: "A member of our company named Aixi took a day off yesterday morning to go to your company, but he hasn't come back yet, and I can't reach him by phone. I want to know if he is still in your company?"

? ? ? ? ?

Ashe could imagine Angelic's face full of question marks now—just like him now.

"Ah, this..." Angel Neng's voice suddenly dropped an octave.

Ai Xi could hear Angel Neng muttering frantically in his heart through the phone, "Who is this Ai doing? He has been working for two days and hasn't come home yet, so I have to wipe his ass."

But no matter how much you mutter, brother is still saved.

After this rescue, something went wrong.

"Oh, it's like this. There were too many documents and data sorted out yesterday. We both worked all night to finish them. He caught up on sleep until this afternoon, and he just set off to go back." Neng Angel's energetic voice revived again: "No Worry! That child is very good!"

Be good, you big-headed ghost...

Ashe covered her face, unable to look directly at Hemo's indifferent expression.

"Then, let's explain." Hemer shook the phone: "You were at Saria's place last night, right?"

"Hey?"

Hemo didn't hang up the phone, and before Ashe made a sound, Neng Angel's surprised voice rang out. With her cleverness, she immediately realized who she was speaking to.

So, after a long silence, an awkward laugh came:

"Don't blame brother for not helping, who made the enemy too rampant—"

Hemer cut off the call.

She looked at Ashe the way she would look at a corpse.

Chapter 59 The First Mask

Since Ashe could remember, it was the first time that Hemer looked at herself with the eyes of a dead body—even after he and Saria had sex, Hemer's anger was poured on Saria instead of responding to her. He was not angry at all.

After all, he was only a few years old when he had sex, and normal people's first reaction would be to think in the direction of "adult's mistake", and it is impossible to guess that it was a kid who was a kid who played with fire first.

But today he is different. He is 15 years old even if he counts his biological age. Although he is still a minor, he has been recognized as an independent personality with the ability to act autonomously.

With him like this, without saying hello to Hemer, he stayed alone in a hotel with Seliya for a day and a night without authorization. What do you make Hemer think?

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Hemo paused word by word: "Have you forgotten all about the past?!"

"I'm just...trying to repair the relationship between you two." Ashe said helplessly, "By the way, I got more information about Ifrit from Saria."

"Repair the relationship?"

Hemer paused, pushed his glasses, and the corner of his mouth curved into an arc, but it was not so much a smile as an angry twitch:

"You still have the nerve to say this, don't you know—"

"Yes! I know! The relationship between you two is broken, and it is basically my problem!"

Ai Xi interrupted her, and suppressed her with a louder voice: "But you also said, that is all in the past, seven or eight years! You are the one who can't forget it!"

"..." The sudden counterattack made Hemo stagnate.

She stopped, took off her glasses, and wiped them with a cloth, as if she was taking this time to consider her words.

Ashe didn't give her a chance to think carefully, and chased after the victory: "Besides, Serena has already forgotten about it. Although we stayed in a hotel for a day, nothing happened. If you don't believe it, the most intuitive The evidence, haven’t you already seen it? Serena almost slapped me in the ward, if what happened to us just now, do you think she would treat me that way?”

——Thanks Serena, if it weren't for your attempted slap, I don't know how to find evidence, after all, you really tried to attack at night that night.

"A slap in the face...?"

Ashe's last reason is indeed strong. From the perspective of normal people's logic, the character who will get angry and slap the child because the child refuses to confide in the illness is usually a "father", and it is difficult to be identified as a "lover"—especially It's a lover who just had an adulterous affair.

Hemer's expression loosened, and she lowered her head, meditating on something silently.

"Besides, after all, wasn't the broken relationship caused by me repaired before and after Ifrit's birth?"

Ashe relaxed a little, and was about to finish the final finishing move: "Before you reunited with me, the resentment between you and Saria was also because of Ifrit's problem? Now that you know the crux , why do you need to use my reasons to vent your emotions to her?"

However, as soon as this finishing move was finished, Ashe regretted it.

Because Hemer showed a completely different expression from what he expected.

"Repaired?"

First, he was taken aback for a moment, then repeated the three words Ashe said, and finally, Hemer showed a strange expression—a smile that was not a smile, half a sarcasm.

"Me, and her?"

"That's right." Ai Xi didn't know where she made a mistake, and said cautiously: "In the photo of Ifrit's bedside, don't you look very... intimate with her? When she was in the hotel, she also said, Around the time of Ifrit's birth, you reached a certain level of reconciliation with her—"

"It's just to a certain extent."

This time it was Hemo who interrupted him, and she said coldly, "I guess, she must not have told you the reason for our reconciliation?"

"Ah... didn't you forgive her?" Ashe's forehead began to sweat.

"Forgive?" Hemer seemed to have heard the funniest joke in all of Terra, and his sarcasm became more intense: "Are you kidding, you don't think that I will really forgive a child under ten years old The so-called 'doctor', right?"

"Then why—" Ashe's mind was confused.

"It's just a disguise for Ifrit's mental health." Hemer said indifferently: "After she was born, Serena and I took off duty to take care of her, and we didn't say a word when we met. It was okay at the beginning, but after a long time, she noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and she always showed restlessness when the two of us were present at the same time. The psychology department judged that this state was extremely detrimental to her growth, and Serena and I reached an agreement. I made an agreement, at least in front of her, pretending to be happy and happy."

???

Ashe's face stiffened.

He couldn't imagine that in that photo, the three of them were holding hands, Serena was kissing Hemo, and Hemo's eyes were as gentle as water. All these beautiful things were actually a faked trick?

No, at least Ifrit, who was kept in the dark, wasn't pretending, and Selia wasn't pretending either... But even if only Hemer was pretending, it's too amazing, after all, she actually lied to five people. For six years, Ifrit was tricked into not even noticing the slightest sign.

Ashe tried her best to recall Hemer's subtle expression in that photo, but she couldn't find any flaws.

Is this... a woman?

He felt a little chill behind him.

This feeling is a bit like the horror story I read in the previous life, "There are two mothers suddenly in the family, and both of them say that the other is fake"-the person who I thought was the most familiar is suddenly found to be familiar with the familiar face. Hiding another strange face.

This statement may be a bit exaggerated, but Ashe still couldn't help thinking this way, maybe it was the pollution of negative emotions, today he can always quickly associate things with the worst possibility.

And Hemer's disguise of Ifrit was naturally led to a possibility by him——

——If Hemer still hated Saria, did he also hate him from the beginning?Is the tenderness she has shown since the reunion also a disguise?

When thinking of this, Ashe shrank back subconsciously, as if suddenly realizing that the vine at her feet was a poisonous snake.

Hemer obviously noticed this reaction, and for a moment, she showed a very hurt expression.

But quickly returned to indifference.

She turned her head:

"What? Think I'm lying to you too?"

"Ah, sorry."

Ashe instantly realized how much damage his small actions would cause to Hemer. He tried to remedy it, but he was at a loss for words: "I...I didn't mean that..."

After all, once the chain of suspicion between the two parties is formed, it will be difficult to break without the intervention of a third party.

Fortunately, there was a third party in this caravan.

"Sorry, I ran a little farther after the smell, just now... what's wrong with you?"

Serena is finally back.

Chapter 60 The Second Mask

Saria's return broke the stalemate between Ashe and Homer, but turned the fire on herself.

Seeing her for the first time, Hemer's eyes sharpened.

"Where were you the night before yesterday?" Hemer paused.

"what?"

Serena was shocked, and the scene of attacking Ashe that night flashed through her mind for the first time, followed by the thought of "has it been exposed" that made her scalp tingle.

Of course, Serena, who is not stupid, also quickly realized that even Ashe didn't know about the night attack (in her opinion), how could Hemer know, she was slightly relieved, and then understood what Hemer really wanted What is the question.

"I'm... at the hotel." Serena said with a stiff expression, "I... alone."

This belongs to my old father, Ashe lamented.

"A person?" Hemer repeated with a look as cold as a piece of ice.

"..." Serena was dumbfounded. No matter how stupid she was, seeing Ashe's strange expression and Hemer's cold face, she also understood that Ashe had already recruited, so what's the use of her hiding it?

She was silent.

Ashe closed her eyes, waiting for Mount Hemer to erupt.

But unexpectedly, Hemer didn't get angry. After Serena surrendered, she didn't pursue her any further. Her chest heaved a few times. She let out a deep breath, sat back beside Ashe, picked up the book, Turned over again.

???

Ashe was confused, he was getting more and more confused about what was going on in the woman's head.

Serena breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned, and also sat down.

But Hemer quickly closed the book and gave her a glare.

"In order to prevent you from losing your scent, I suggest you stay in the cab," she said.

Well, coauthoring is exile.

Exile is better than quarreling, and Saria obediently went to the cab, leaving only Ashe and Hemo in the living area.

Ashe closed her eyes obediently and pretended to be dead, so as not to be accidentally caught by Hemer again.

But Hemer spoke again.

"Leaving aside the matter of you hanging out with Serena the day before yesterday, what do you want to know about Ifrit and your fertilized egg project?"

Ashe was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that the cause of the quarrel between the two was just this question he asked.

Good guy, your ability to grasp the small and enlarge is really strong.

While slandering, Ashe also became serious, this time he didn't dare to play any sloppy eyes anymore, and said directly: "I want to know the information related to the governor, especially, where did she get the information about me and Evely?" A special fertilized egg."

——It is a natural judgment to lock the suspicion of the behind-the-scenes mastermind in the Balrog's mouth on the commander-in-chief of Rhine Life. After all, at the same time, "the woman who claims to be the mother of Ifrit and Ashe" and "mysterious and wise" , "suspected to hold a book" these few conditions, in Ashe's not-so-extensive network of relationships, there is only one person in charge left.

Even if she is not the mastermind behind the scenes, she at least has an inexplicable relationship with the mastermind behind the scenes. For example, she is the fertilized egg from the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Are you suspecting that the Balrog has something to do with her?" Hemo didn't have that much information, but she roughly guessed Ashe's intentions, she raised her eyebrows: "Then you should ask Selia, she is the one who died after the Balrog incident. I went to the general manager's office with full armor, and I can ask a lot of things... Oh yes, you have already asked her, right? Why, she didn't tell you?"
