《Once Upon a Time in a Foreign Land》Chapter 167 : Ximen Yixiong

Zhengyi then moved closer to the telephone to order by phone.
"Caihong, you eat first. After you finish eating, you can go home," said Yiren.
Caihong nodded. Looked like he wanted to taste too. Maybe he hadn't eaten pizza in a long time.
Zhengyi's voice was very loud when he ordered the pizza. They all looked at each other while holding back laughter. Although Zhengyi was an expert in ancient languages. However, in his daily life, he often recites foreign words using the local accent of Yuandong. The names of these types of pizza were foreign names. The names that came out of Zhengyi's mouth sounded hilarious.
During scientific presentations or discussions, Zhengyi can pronounce foreign terms clearly and precisely. But in everyday life, he instead chooses to pronounce the words strangely. I think the pizza seller there must be desperately trying not to laugh at this point.
"All right," said Zhengyi. "We'll just have to wait a bit. This restaurant is very close to the Zhonghang Station. So I think our orders will arrive soon."
Yiren looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "Shall we call the police now or wait for them to call us?"
Yixiong looked up at Yiren. "I'm almost done copying these papers. Earlier, the police gave us an hour. So we don't need to rush. We'll just have to wait until they call us."
They all sat patiently waiting for the police to contact them via Huaxiang, and at the same time waiting for their pizza to arrive.
Not until five minutes later, there was the sound of a car stopping in front of their house.
"Who's coming?" Yiren turned to Yixiong. His gaze was filled with astonishment.
Yixiong shrugged.
About thirty seconds later, they heard the sound of someone screaming.

"Pizza!"
Everyone presented there looked at each other.
"So quick!" Jingkang said. "This is impossible!"
Zhengyi stood up instantly. He walked briskly to the front door. After opening the door, he ran towards the fence right away.
Yixiong glanced at the clock on the wall. It was still about fifteen minutes before the police were supposed to contact them.
A moment later, the front door opened again. Zhengyi appeared from behind the door. But strangely, he wasn't alone. Behind him was someone following Zhengyi's footsteps. The person pushed some kind of stroller. There were four boxes piled on top of the stroller.
This is the first time I've seen a pizza delivery man using a stroller. The boxes are big. But not that big, so the courier had to use something like that.
"This jumbo pizza is huge," Jingkang shouted.
Zhengyi kept walking. He headed towards the dining table. Arriving at the dining table. The person who brought the pizza moved the large cardboard boxes one by one onto the dining table. Yixiong could smell the sweet smell emanating from the pizza boxes. The smell made Yixiong feel starving.
The man finished putting the pizza boxes on the table. He then took off his hat.
"Gentlemen, I apologize. There is someone who wants to see you at this time."
They were all stunned when they heard the pizza delivery man's words.
Good grief! Is he an undercover cop? How could they predict we would order pizza?
"Who wants to meet us?" Yixiong asked.
The person then bent down beside the stroller he was carrying. He opened the panel at the bottom on the side of the stroller. From behind the open panel, came someone. The man was wearing a dark brown leather jacket. As he stood up, they could all see his face clearly. He was Zhongli Zhiren. Dongfang Zhengyi's friend.

Yixiong turned to Zhengyi. Zhengyi looked very surprised. His mouth opened as he looked at his friend.
Is Zhengyi just pretending to be surprised?
Everyone then stood up.
Zhongli Zhiren said, "Sorry, gentlemen. This pizza delivery guy is my colleague. He will take this stroller out and back into the vehicle we brought. This is to convince those who are watching this house that the person who just came it's just a pizza delivery guy. And that guy came right back after he finished delivering the order into the house."
The pizza delivery man bowed his head towards them. He put his hat back on. After that, he grabbed the handle to push the stroller. He turned the stroller toward the exit and headed straight for it.
Without being asked, Jingkang walked beside the person. They both then left the house. A moment later, they heard the sound of a car driving away. Not long after, Jingkang returned to the house. He immediately sat down where he had sat before.
"Good evening, gentlemen," said Zhengyi's friend. "I, Zhongli Zhiren, apologize for making you gentlemen wait too long. For one reason or another, only now have I been able to come here again. At this point, I have some things to say."

The deep timber of the man's voice rings out through the still night and my body shivers in fear and disgust. Suddenly another man is at my side, twining his fingers through my hair. I can't see either of them clearly in the dark. The man, Bennett apparently, leans down close to me and takes in a large lungful of my scent as well. My knees begin to shake in terror and a low growl rumbles from his chest."She does smell good. She's pretty too." He says, pecking a kiss to my cheek. My face crunches in despair as I try to pull from their hold. "Let me go." I beg and the first man chuckles. "Awe. The little human is nervous." He says, amusement evident in his voice. A sob breaks from my lips as I try to pull my arm from his grasp."You're hurting me." I say, tugging my arm again."Let her go, Rowan." Bennett says, making the larger man grunt."Don't get attached to her. You know what happened to the last one."Cover made by @ViaAlyssaNicole
