Chapter 63: Bai Heng? Not really acquainted.

When hearing the last two sentences of the interstellar peace broadcast, Bai Heng choked on a mouthful of coffee.

What?

What did he hear?

Suspect?

Bai Heng always felt that the male anchor of the Interstellar Peace Company had a bit of personal grudge in it.

Sitting down again, Bai Heng covered his forehead and suddenly felt a bit of a headache.

Just knowing that Ruan Mei has a lover has made him a wanted criminal of the Ruan Fan Association and he will soon be hunted down by the other party.

If the other party knows that he is a scumbag...

Bai Heng shook his head and stopped imagining his own fate. Instead, he quickly finished his breakfast, held a training sword and began to practice sword swings as instructed by Jing Liu.

Well... Now he has one more reason to swing his sword.

....

Two system hours later.

Bai Heng took a private car and headed to the headquarters of the Interstellar Astronomical Society.

On the way, he received a call.

Clicking on the headset, he first heard snorting sounds, and then a refreshing female voice:

"Hey, wait a minute. Zhangzhang, don't make trouble... Wait until I finish answering the phone."

Bai Heng recognized the person on the other end of the phone, so his tone was relaxed and he said:

"Topaz? Why did you think of contacting me?"

After he and Topaz reached an agreement on the project related to the simulated universe when they visited the "Black Tower" space station last time, they can be considered acquainted.

The two have compatible personalities. During the early days in Peerpoint, Topaz also often visited Bai Heng.

After coming and going, the relationship between the two has drawn closer. They can be regarded as friends instead of just colleagues for the time being.

Over there, Topaz seemed to have tussled with Zhangzhang for a while and broke free before answering:

"This is not because I heard that you have finished your work. I want to ask you out for a drink and talk to you about a case."

Bai Heng knew that the latter part was the key point and spoke directly:

"You have taken on another project?"

The voice on the other end seemed a bit helpless and said:

"Yes... You should have heard of Jarilo-VI, right?"

"Well, the Nameless Ones on the Stellar Express eradicated the star core on this planet last month and reestablished the connection between this planet and the universe. Don't tell me that there can still be some transactions between Jarilo-VI and the company. Even if there are, it should be a bad debt, right?" Bai Heng asked unhurriedly.

Topaz on the other end of the phone seemed to have had a drink. The sound of glass clinking came from the headset:

"You guessed right. Before being affected by the star core, Jarilo-VI did indeed negotiate a contract with the company. Now it has indeed become a bad debt. But since Jarilo-VI has reestablished a connection with the company, then the company has to send someone to collect this debt."

She continued:

"However, no one is willing to take on this thorny project. After all, it won't yield much profit and even if it is completed, there won't be much achievement."

Bai Heng understood:

"So you took the initiative to take on this tough nut?"

"That's right."

"In your line of work, being too kind can easily narrow your path." Bai Heng said with a smile and teased: "So what are your plans now? Under the pretext of collecting bad debts, incorporate Jarilo-VI into the company system and then support the civilization reconstruction plan?"

"The general process is similar to what you said." Topaz shrugged and said: "However, the specific situation still needs to be determined after completing the asset evaluation of Jarilo-VI. After all, no one can be sure of the specific situation of this planet. Of course, before going to that planet, I also need to access the library of the Interstellar Astronomical Society to consult the information about Jarilo-VI."

"No problem." Bai Heng nodded slightly and said:

"Is this the reason for calling me today?"

Topaz replied:

"This is official business. There is also a little personal matter. In the morning, when I was listening to the company's broadcast, I heard the news about Ms. Ruan Mei. Is it true?"

Listening to the gossipy tone on the other end of Topaz's phone.

Bai Heng suddenly felt relieved. It seems that no matter what level of person they are, they will all have a gossipy heart.

Sighing, Bai Heng pressed the headset and cast his gaze on the passing buildings outside the window and said:

"Sort of."

As soon as these words were uttered, Topaz's tone was a mixture of excitement and a little schadenfreude:

"It's really... In fact, when we were at the "Black Tower" space station last time, it was enough to see that your relationship is not ordinary. I just didn't expect that you could develop so quickly. In just one month, she actually admitted your relationship in the interstellar media. Bai Heng, it seems that you have a talent in certain aspects."

"But according to the current situation, you can only pray for good luck."

Bai Heng knew that Topaz was referring to the matter of the suspect. He self-deprecatingly said:

"So being a gigolo is not so easy."

"No risk, no reward... Alas, Zhangzhang, don't bite or lick that thing." There was again the snorting sound of the dimensional piggy bank from the other end of the phone. After a long while, it finally calmed down.

At this time, listening to Topaz's words "No risk, no reward", Bai Heng suddenly decided to ask Topaz a more important question:

"By the way, Topaz, can I ask you a few questions related to emotions?"

Topaz on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned and then said:

"Emotion-related questions? Are there problems in your relationship with Ms. Ruan Mei?"

"That's not it." Bai Heng said naturally: "Our relationship is very good."

"Then what questions do you need to ask?" Topaz became interested and said:

After thinking for a moment, Bai Heng asked his question:

"If I want to be responsible for two girls at the same time, what should I do?"

First there was silence.

After a long while, Topaz asked:

"Are you kidding?"

"No."

After some time, Topaz finally digested the information of this sentence and slowly said:

"Bai Heng... No, from now on I should call you Bai Scumbag. Although emotional disputes are very common for men like you who have achieved so much at a young age. But I still can't understand what kind of person makes you dare to cheat on Ms. Ruan Mei of the Genius Club."

"Tell me, who is the other one?" Topaz's tone already had a hint of disgust for a scumbag, but her friend's emotional infidelity didn't have much impact on their relationship.

Anyway, Bai Heng didn't cheat on her.

"Jing Liu from Luofu, Xianzhou." Bai Heng casually uttered these words.

But just these seemingly light words made Topaz feel that she regretted asking this question.

In the private room of the "Morning" bar, Topaz crossed her round and white legs. The hand holding the goblet trembled faintly. After a long time, she said:

"Well, Bai Scumbag... Let's just pretend we never knew each other. Remember to buy full insurance from the Interstellar Peace Company. That thing comes with a cemetery plot."
