Unfortunately, Strange arrived just as the lamb was roasted.

Fortunately, Strange brought Han Yu with him.

When Fatty and Zoey saw Han Yu, their eyes welled up with tears. They felt that the three of them were finally reunited. Although Master was absent this time, it couldn't stop their pleasant mood after a long separation.

Han Yu was still displeased to see Li Decha. Li Decha was also sensible and tried to avoid Han Yu's gaze.

Strange greeted them with a smile and walked towards Fatty, proactively reaching out his hand for a handshake, "Oh, it's my first time meeting Mr. Shi Chuan. I've heard so much about you. You've managed to escape death several times. Your skills must be extraordinary."

Fatty was annoyed by Strange's flattery, but he didn't want to embarrass him in front of Strange's subordinates, especially since Han Yu was still in his hands. Fatty reached out and shook Strange's hand, but secretly exerted force.

Strange wasn't made of iron after all, and he knew pain. Although he was still forcing a smile on his face, he was in severe pain from Fatty's strong grip. His face turned green and red, and he was sweating profusely.

Fatty released his hand when he saw Strange's smile gradually disappear, "I've heard so much about your name. We little minions have always been active under your watch."

Strange's expression changed quickly, and a smile reappeared on his face. "Oh, this is also to protect your safety."

Fatty and Strange chatted like this, flattering each other insincerely. Fatty didn't want to pay attention to him and kept busy handling the roasted lamb chops in his hand.

Fatty, as always, gave the best leg of lamb to Han Yu. Han Yu smelled the aroma of roasted lamb chops as soon as she got out of the car, and swallowed several times. As soon as she took the leg of lamb, she started gnawing without saying a word.

Fatty gave the second leg of lamb to Jennifer, who was sick. He didn't know how much Jennifer could eat, but based on her previous selfless help, she deserved this leg of lamb.

Fatty naturally gave the third leg of lamb to Zoey.

As for the last leg of lamb, Fatty really wanted to take it for himself, but considering Strange's status, he gave the leg of lamb to Strange.

Although Strange had an exceptional position in Organization Z, he wasn't too particular. He took the leg of lamb, thanked Fatty, and then tore the meat with his bare hands, chewing with big mouthfuls. At the same time, he praised Fatty's craftsmanship, saying that Fatty's cooking skills were definitely comparable to the top chefs in Michelin. Perhaps this flattering approach was his deliberate means of getting closer to Fatty.

Seeing that Li Decha was taking care of Jennifer, Fatty also gave Li Decha a few pieces of lamb ribs, which was Fatty's unilateral reconciliation with him.

Even the little puppies got a few bones with unshaved meat from Fatty. At this moment, it seemed that only Dodge and his group in the farm didn't get any meat. Dodge was drooling with envy and hated Fatty to the bone.

While eating the lamb, everyone enjoyed the wine that had been hidden in the farm for many years. It seemed that Strange hadn't had such a leisurely time for a long time. Previously, he had been living a "life of licking blood from the knife's edge," and it was rare for him to relax so much.

However, leisure was leisure, and serious matters couldn't be delayed. After eating and drinking enough, Strange said to Han Yu, Fatty, and Zoey, "Dr. Han, Mr. Shi, and Ms. Zoey, you see, I have shown enough sincerity. The work of searching for and researching meteorites still needs your help."

Strange first used courtesy and then force. His attitude changed, and he said to Fatty and Zoey in an extremely serious tone, "Then, please tell me what happened in the desert. I hope you can tell me honestly and don't force me to use other methods."

"Dodge." Strange called Dodge over and said to him, "Take Zoey to the car alone and ask her about what happened. Record Zoey's account of the events."

Then Strange said to Fatty, "Mr. Shi, let's talk here. Please understand that the foundation of trust is honesty."

Strange's move was really clever, alternating between looseness and tightness, not giving them any chance to react or respond.

When Zoey followed Dodge away, Fatty secretly winked at Zoey, and Zoey understood.

Dodge led Zoey into the car they had arrived in. Once the car door was closed, no sound could be heard from outside, and no sound could be heard from inside either.

"Then, Mr. Shi, please tell me the whole story now." Strange crossed his arms, with an attitude that everything was under control.

Fatty told Strange everything from when they disguised themselves to enter the desert, to when they encountered the black sandstorm, and entered the underground ancient city. However, he didn't mention anything about the history of the ancient city, the Kunlun Divine Realm and the story of the Queen Mother of the West, the appearance of Zhao Chenguang, the resurrection of the mummies, and the three magical artifacts. He only said that there was something strange in the underground ancient city that he couldn't explain.

Later, Fatty glossed over the details, only saying that the underground ancient city collapsed and was destroyed by quicksand, and they escaped by chance, while everyone else died in the quicksand.

What Fatty said was reasonable, and Strange couldn't find any doubts.

Not long after Fatty and Strange finished their conversation, Zoey and Dodge's conversation also ended. Dodge handed a voice recorder to Strange.

After Strange received the voice recorder, Dodge and his subordinates became alert, and the atmosphere on the scene was tense.

Han Yu was very conflicted at this time. She wanted to stand up and say something for Fatty and Zoey, but as long as she stood up to plead, she would inevitably expose herself; if she didn't plead, she was afraid that Strange would not give Han Yu a chance to plead after judging that one of them was lying.

However, Han Yu could be sure that Strange would still use Fatty and Zoey to control herself and would not harm their lives, but she couldn't be sure if there would be other situations, after all, there was a cautionary tale in Jennifer.

Strange looked serious and pressed the play button on the voice recorder in front of Fatty and Zoey.

Fatty's palms were sweating, and his heart was trembling as he listened to the voice recorder. Dodge and Zoey spoke very quickly, and Fatty's English level could only understand about seventy or eighty percent, but fortunately, Zoey's account of her experience in the desert was almost the same as what Fatty had stated.

After the recording was played, Fatty and Zoey's hearts that had been hanging in the air instantly fell to the ground, and Strange expressed his satisfaction with the result.

Strange said that this was a good start to their "cooperation."

Strange said to Fatty and Zoey, "Dr. Han and I have already negotiated. You two will still need to participate in the organization's actions later."

——Participate?

Hearing the strangeness in Strange's words, Fatty asked, "Participate in what?"

Strange laughed heartily, as if everything was within his plan.

"Of course, it's to find meteorites."
