Chapter 22: The Lincoln Manor

At seven o’clock, North Luna and Ding Ze returned home. When they opened the door, they were stunned. In the living room, the table was filled with food: freshwater fish, seafood, vegetables, meat, etc… more than a dozen dishes and their fragrance filled the air. From the kitchen, Cui Ming brought a pot of a bean sprout. He greeted the two, “Good evening Boss. Good evening Ding Ze.”

North Luna saw the food and asked: “You make all this?”

Cui Ming nodded, “Yes.”

She sat down and hung her bag on the side of her chair, she said, “You should spend your time practicing the six Principles.”

“Yes,” Cui Ming also sat down.

Ding Ze tried a mouthful of fish soup, he could not help but praise, “Delicious! Cui Ming, when did you learn to cook?”

Cui Ming enjoyed his dishes, he replied, “When I was in charity school, I would often be punished to help in the kitchen.”

“Do not waste time on the meaningless things,” North Luna ate casually, then she picked up the cloth bag and went upstairs, “You are a good cook. Make preparations, today we go to Lincoln Manor. Ding Ze, brief him on the situation.”

Ding Ze nodded. Seeing that North Luna had disappeared, he whispered, “Although Boss didn’t say so, she is very happy. You must keep up this momentum, understood?”

Of course I understood. North Luna think of food only as a necessity for survive. You enjoy food, but you are lazy and want others to cook for you. Cui Ming asked, “If I recall, you investigated Lincoln Manor a month ago.”

“Yes.”

Lincoln Manor’s investigation had been going on for a month, and during this month, Sergeant Evelyn was also involved, but there had been no discovery so far. Three of them had thoroughly inspected every corner of the manor, but they were unable to find any sign of human's existence. But every few days, the fourth room on the third floor of Lincoln Manor would light up at night.

North Luna Office had received a commission from Special Department 101 to investigate, but hadn't made any progress. Ding Ze and North Luna felt quite helpless. Tomorrow was the last day, and if there was no progress in the investigation, they would have to return the commission fee.

Ding Ze said, “We are sure that a cultivator had sneaked into the Dawn City, and he has most likely made Lincoln Villa his residence, but neither can we find his presence, nor do we know his purpose. You are currently very weak, with almost no actual combat experience, so do not stray too far from us tonight. “

“Understood,” Cui Ming nodded. As a rookie, modesty was a must-have virtue.

“Another point is also very important.”

“Yep?”

“The next time you make so many dishes, please inform us first,” Ding Ze sighed, “We had already eaten much at the fast food restaurant in front of the office.”

“Yep.”

North Luna returned downstairs, she wore a set of black clothes, put her cloth bag on the back. She seemed like she wanted to say something, but she remained silent as she sat on the side, Ding Ze winked at Cui Ming, “I'll go and change clothes.”
