About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, the aftermath of a sudden banquet disruption due to a terrorist attack prompts characters Hoshiguma, Chen, Talula, and Orson to decide on the next course of action. Hoshiguma suggests they report to Wei Yanwu, the commander, to gather information about the attack, while Orson quips about mixing drinks afterward, leading to misunderstandings and jealous reactions from Talula and Chen, who both vie for Orson's attention. Eventually, they all head to Wei Yanwu’s office, where tensions rise as the Rat King, Lin Geri, confronts Wei about his recent reckless decisions regarding security in Longmen. The conversation delves into the deteriorating relationship between the ruling figures of Longmen and the slums, with Wei emphasizing that the slum residents have tacitly accepted the Sicilian gang's infiltration, undermining his authority. Chen struggles with the reality of Wei's claims that the slum residents do not view Longmen as their home, feeling a deep rift between ordinary citizens and the infected. As the discussion escalates, Talula, embodying her alter ego Black Snake, intervenes, proposing a management shift for the slums, suggesting that Orson should take charge. This proposal sparks heated debate, with Wei Yanwu stunned at Black Snake’s suggestion and Chen bracing for potential conflict. Black Snake further indicates that if Orson fails to enact change in the slums within two months, she is willing to transfer her consciousness to Wei for execution, leading to internal conflict among the characters. With various emotional stakes at play, the chapter culminates in an agreement of sorts, allowing for Orson to demonstrate his capabilities while hinting at the complex dynamics of power, trust, and the dire circumstances surrounding Longmen.
