The street lights on the street began to bloom with bright light, away from the hustle and bustle, and walked alone in the quiet and quiet alley. At the end of the alley, there was a small grocery store that was still not closed. The dim light brought Xia Lan here like the prophet's guidance.

Adelina was sitting in a chair in the grocery store and reading it with her hands intently. The sudden crisp sound of hitting the wooden door suddenly shifted her attention outside the door.

"Why is it so late today and it's not closed yet?" Xia Lan leaned outside the grocery store and smiled slightly at Aidelian.

"Because I have a premonition that you will come today, it has not closed for a long time." Adelina said shyly with a look of silly look on her face.

"Have you used dinner?" Xia Lan sighed.

"Not yet." Adelina said embarrassedly, covering her hungry belly.

"It happened that I didn't." Xia Lan smiled and said, "So, are you lucky enough to invite the little princess to have dinner together?"

"You are here again, and I'm not a little princess." Adelina turned around and ran to the grocery store with a red face. "You wait a moment, if you go out, I'll change my clothes."

Xia Lan didn't wait too long, so Adrina came out wearing the clothes she had when she went out for a trip with Xia Lan last time, turned off the lights, closed the grocery store door, and Xia Lan took Adrina's small and fair hand at the right time and left the alley together.

Xia Lan did not pay special attention or requirements for diet. If conditions permit, he always used to enjoying the best food in the best restaurant. In response, Adelina also whispered to persuade Xia Lan not to be so extravagant and wasteful, as cute as a little housekeeper. However, Xia Lan just smiled casually and ignored it. Sometimes women say no. In fact, it is another matter.

At least tonight's dinner allowed Adrina to enjoy it with great interest. She cannot say that women are materialistic, but that women are longing for beautiful things.

After dinner, Xia Lan led Adelina to a high-end women's clothing store.

"Mr. Xia Lan, why did you suddenly bring me here?"

Adrina gently pulled Xia Lan's sleeve and whispered to Xia Lan with a cautious look on her face.

"Because I want my little princess to be more beautiful." Xia Lan looked at the clothes worn by Adrina intentionally or unintentionally and chuckled. Love beauty is a woman's nature. A woman will always show her most beautiful place in front of outsiders. If a woman comes and goes on a date with a man, this undoubtedly shows a few points. First, the woman wants to remind men through the clothes she wears, maybe it should be time to buy new clothes for her. Second, the woman is in a poor family and she has no extra ability to buy new clothes. She can only wear her best clothes to meet the man every time. Third, this woman doesn't care about the man's impression of him.

And Adrina is obviously the second type.

Adelina was not stupid. In a moment, she knew through Xia Lan's gentle and concerned eyes that the other party realized the problem of her clothes. She blushed. Her little head was drooping as if she was too shy to see Xia Lan again. At the same time, she did not refuse Xia Lan's kindness, so she let Xia Lan lead her to buy it in the clothing store. After that, the two of them had a tour of the night view of Port Louis before they could barely return to the grocery store.

It was already dark, and Xia Lan came to her home again at the invitation of Adrina, enjoying the hot tea made by Adrina. His eyes would unconsciously glance at the oil paintings on the wall. Perhaps the characters in the oil paintings were too vivid, which made him always feel that the people in the painting were looking at him.

"Mr. Xia Lan, are you free next week today?" Not long after serving the tea set, Adrina suddenly asked after she noticed Xia Lan's eyes that looked at the oil painting from time to time.

"What's wrong?" Xia Lan withdrew her gaze and smiled at Adelinan.

"Because next week today is the death day of my adoptive parents, and I want you to accompany me to pray to Shenghui Cathedral." Adrina said with her silver teeth and bit her lips.

Is Shenghui Cathedral? It's exactly what I want!

Xia Lan thought to herself and nodded in agreement.

In the end, Xialan did not stay at Adrina's house, but returned to the hotel.

...

When she returned to the hotel, Xialan did not see Hermiya and Catherine. Since Sir Holebas met her mother and daughter, Hermiya's attitude towards Xialan became extremely cold. As long as Xialan didn't speak, Hermiya would automatically ignore the other party like air.

The next morning, Hermiya unexpectedly greeted Xia Lan. Of course, there was a reason for this.

"Mr. Xia Lan, when will you take your mother to treat the condition?"

Hermiya's attitude was still cold, but she still maintained politeness and respect in her inquiring tone.

"Within three days." Xia Lan gave the answer.

"Thanks."

After saying that, Hermiya turned around and left without looking at Xia Lan.

Xia Lan did not care about Hermiya's attitude. Young people always get impulsive and reckless when encountering problems. Moreover, Hermiya, as the illegitimate daughter of Holebas, would not pay attention to the other party as long as the other party did not touch his bottom line.

Before leaving, Xia Lan approached Catherland and ordered him to continue the surveillance and investigation. Even if Catherland was reluctant, as long as Hermiya was still in Port Louis for one day, he would always live under Xia Lan's willful assignment.

Port Louis during the day was as calm as ever, but there was no idea where it started to spread rumors that the old warehouse in Baifan District might collapse. It is said that Sir McFadden, who was missing at that time, accidentally dealing with the foundation while building the warehouse, seriously affecting the underground soil layer. If the warehouse collapses, it will inevitably cause the underground drainage pipeline to be blocked, and the consequences will affect the daily lives of people in Port Louis.

When the Governor's Office sent engineering teams to settle in, the news that soldiers blocked the abandoned warehouses came, and the rumors were further verified that the rumors were true. Many people began to talk about this when chatting.

Xia Lan sat in the lobby listening to the conversation around her. The topic was basically about the issue of abandoned warehouses. Unexpectedly, Holebass's actions were more straightforward than he thought. In less than a few days, the streets and alleys of Port Louis knew about this. In particular, the harm of secret propaganda caused everyone to be in danger.

People will pay special attention to any issues related to their own security interests. After this incident, it is believed that subverting Fang will start to start an investigation, but they will be futile in the end!

At this time, a little girl suddenly rushed in outside the door. Without saying a word, she came to a servant and asked, "Do you know where Your Excellency Xia Lan is?"

Hum? When he heard someone telling his last name, Xia Lan immediately looked in the sound, and as a result, he saw a familiar person.

"Lolice, here."

The ability to transmit the secret is not difficult for Xia Lan. When the little girl heard his call, she looked around. After a while, she saw Xia Lan in the corner of the lobby. She left her servant with a confused look on her face. The little girl quickly came to him and said, "Mr. Xia Lan, this morning, I heard that the masters who went to Minas to participate in academic exchanges were back, so...so... I will tell you..."

Seeing the little girl being angry, Xia Lan pushed the unused cup full of tea to her and signaled to drink it. The little girl was the waitress who had received Xia Lan several times. She didn't expect that she would be so concerned about what she told her. She must be unwilling to miss the benefits of him, the financial supporter.

“Is the message accurate?”

Seeing Loris drinking tea and calming down, Xia Lan said slowly.

"Of course, because a guy who pursued me was an apprentice of a master. Today, I heard him talk about this matter happily to me, so I came to you immediately."

"This is a reward for you." Xia Lan threw a bag of gold coins on the table, then stood up and walked directly towards the attendant, and after calling him to arrange the carriage, Xia Lan went directly to Hermiya's and her daughter's room to inform him.

When the pharmacist came back and his mother was about to be treated, Hermiya, who had been cold-faced, rarely thanked Xia Lan for her. She got on the carriage led by the servant out of the street. When Xia Lan left, she took Loris with her to take her back. After all, the little girl was tired enough to come to report the message. It was just a small task for him to take the other party.

The carriage lasted half an hour before it arrived at the door of the Alchemy Association. When Loris got off the car, Xialan asked the other party to prepare to receive them in the pharmacist.

While waiting for Hermiya to help Ms. Anderin get out of the car, a luxurious carriage slowly stopped in the street opposite. The carriage door opened and a little girl in a big white cloak walked down with light steps.

Xia Lan subconsciously looked at the street opposite, with a slightly stunned expression. She didn't expect that he would meet "acquaintances" here.

Winnie suddenly stopped going to the gate of the Alchemy Association, and was also stunned.

"His Excellency Xia Lan, please lead us in and treat my mother quickly."

At this time, Hermiya's urging sound came from his ears. Xia Lan came to her senses and did not look at Winnie again. She turned around and walked straight towards the Alchemy Association with Hermiya and her daughter.

"Dear! Be careful!"

At this time, Winnie was gently pulled behind her. Soon, a carriage slowly drove towards the middle of the street where she was standing.

Seeing this, Winnie suddenly woke up.

"Dear, you don't know that your behavior is very dangerous?! What should I do if something happens to you?"

Feeling the broad and warm chest of someone behind him, Winnie took a deep breath, shook her head and said softly: "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."

"Can you tell me what exactly makes you so unconscious?" The person behind him said with concern.

"Today is the assessment day, so I suddenly thought about what should I do if I failed the assessment?" Winnie said with her head down.

"Don't worry, because I know you are the best! Even if you fail this assessment, there will be next time, so don't always keep this kind of thing in mind." The person behind him comforted and encouraged.

"No! I will definitely pass this assessment! Because I want to become the youngest genius master!"

Winnie suddenly raised her head and looked proud.
Chapter completed!
