False Court
Chapter 751 The Visit
"It doesn't matter. By the way, how is your father's health?"
Su asked with concern. "He's fine now. I still have to thank you for this. By the way, I'm returning this card to you." Lin Zi returned the colored diamond card Su had given her. "You don't want it anymore?"
"I don't need it, but I've used up all the money inside."
Lin Zi replied a little embarrassedly. "I thought it was something. It's a small matter."
Su then took it and said, "Let me state first that I have no money to pay you back. At most, I can offer myself."
Lin Zi replied cheekily, "Ahem, don't joke around! What kind of relationship do we have? Do I need you to say more? Besides, the United Credits are not worth much now, so what are you paying back?"
Su smiled and said, "It's different. One thing is one thing. It was still very valuable back then."
"Don't say that. It sounds too distant."
"Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Why did you suddenly come to the M District?"
"I saw it on the way," Su said sternly.
"What you saw is just the surface. The nightlife is more lively."
"Invest in what?"
"The United's administrative center is moving here, so there will definitely be people coming to investigate."
Lin Zi looked at Su curiously. "You're thinking too much. I'm here to collect a debt."
Su replied with a smile, "Oh, collect a debt? Who owes you money?"
Lin Zi looked at Su with a puzzled expression. Who owed Su money that would make him come all the way here? Su opened his suitcase, took out a document from it, and mysteriously handed it to Lin Zi. "Read it yourself."
"You've been doing well recently. You're collecting debts from the United government?" Lin Zi looked at the document in her hand and then at the United government's logo on the cover, and was slightly taken aback. She then replied, "So-so."
Su replied in a very good mood. Lin Zi picked up her water glass and looked through the document while drinking water. When she saw the string of zeros and the words "Star Credits" on the amount owed, she spat a mouthful of water directly on Su's face.
Su picked up a tissue from the table, wiped his face, and looked at Lin Zi with a dark expression. "Did you do that on purpose?"
"Ahem, on purpose? How come there are so many zeros? The numbers on this can't be something you filled in yourself, right?"
Lin Zi looked at Su as if he were an idiot.
"Why would I fill this in randomly? This is how much money it is. Now you know why I look down on your little bit of money." Su replied very calmly.
After hearing what Su said, Lin Zi carefully checked the entire document. She found that it seemed to be real and not fake. She said in surprise, "So much money, then aren't you rich?"
"This money is a lot for now, but not much for the future." Su explained meaningfully to Lin Zi.
"Alright, put your document away and don't lose it. You probably won't be able to collect it in a short time. The new United Assembly Building is very strictly controlled, and you can't get in at all. Also, I heard from my father that the situation has been very turbulent recently. Not only are there frequent conflicts in the outer space, but many minions of the Imperial Army have also infiltrated the United, so don't run around!"
Lin Zi handed the document to Su and cautiously instructed him. "Don't worry, I understand. By the way, what is your father doing? Why do you need to stay and help?"
Su asked very curiously. Speaking of this, Lin Zi beckoned to Su and asked him to come closer. Su curiously leaned over. What was so mysterious about it? "My father has been appointed by the United government to be responsible for carrying out a top-secret SSS-level project."
When Su heard Lin Zi's words, he also looked surprised. Any SSS-level project was the United's most core secret. "What project?"
"The construction of the multi-functional planetary transition fortress, the Zhi Xing Zhi Guang (Wisdom Star Light). I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone else, or you'll be shot." Lin Zi said to Su in a low voice.
When Su heard this, he was even more shocked. This newly appointed Speaker was really generous. He dared to build such a big project. It seemed that he really had money. "Are you scared?"
Lin Zi looked at Su, who hadn't spoken for a long time, and asked with a smile.
"Ahem, I'm fine. By the way, I have something I want to ask you to help with."
Su said easily, "Tell me, as long as I can help."
Lin Zi replied without thinking, "Do you know someone named Ogliss?"
Su asked directly, "Are you kidding me? Ogliss was the previous Speaker of the M District. Who doesn't know him? The question is, does he know me?"
After Lin Zi heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. She looked at Su unhappily.
Su wasn't annoyed, but just smiled and said, "It's good that you know him. Where does he live?"
"What are you going to do? Don't joke around. Although Ogliss has retired, he is still a veteran figure. It's not like we can just see him whenever we want. If you accidentally offend him, you'll be finished."
Lin Zi reminded Su with great concern. "It's okay, I know what I'm doing. Just tell me the address." Su's expression was very calm.
"Alright, he lives at 777 Saint Grace Street. There's an independent manor there. It's very recognizable. Are you really going?"
Seeing that Su was so insistent, Lin Zi finally told him. Actually, even if she didn't tell him, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to find Ogliss's residence, since he was too famous.
Su smiled and nodded. "Alright, then how many days are you going to stay in Freedom City this time?"
Lin Zi looked at Su expectantly. "It's not certain. It mainly depends on whether the debt collection goes smoothly."
Su thought for a while and said, since he had already come, he had to get the money back no matter what. "Then do you have a place to stay now? Why don't you come and stay at my house?"
Lin Zi directly invited Su. "Let's talk about it later. Let's see how things go first. Let's not talk about that. Let's eat."
"Alright."
…
More than an hour later, Su and Lin Zi finished their meal and temporarily said goodbye. He hailed a speeder and headed towards Saint Grace Street. Looking at the scenery flashing by along the way, Su looked thoughtful. Now that the M District was so strictly controlled, he definitely couldn't get into the United Assembly Building, so he could only bite the bullet and ask Ogliss for help. He might as well pay him a visit as well. After all, he was also a giant here.
Su thought to himself, although his relationship with Ogliss wasn't that deep, there was still some connection. He should help him out, right?
At the very least, he wouldn't refuse to see him, right?
Just as Su was thinking, the speeder stopped. The driver said, "Sir, you've arrived at your destination."
"Okay."
After Su paid the fare with his phone, he got out of the car. After getting out of the car, Su looked up and found Ogliss's house at a glance. It was indeed as Lin Zi had said, it was very recognizable. The entire area belonged to Ogliss's family. How could it not be recognizable? The gate was made of pure white jade. However, at this time, there were a lot of people gathered at the gate. There were wealthy people wearing very fancy brand-name clothes, military officers wearing military uniforms, and some officials wearing United government uniforms. Su roughly estimated that there were at least several hundred people.
So many people wanted to see Ogliss, which was a bit troublesome. In addition, Su found that the gate of Ogliss's house was tightly closed, and there was no intention of receiving guests. Su couldn't help but walk over with a suspicious expression, preparing to personally inquire about the news.
