At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when Qin Jiandan returned to the martial arts training ground used by his master for retreat, he saw his master and Dr. Li sitting on the sidelines, playing "Four Color Go" face to face.
This is an evolved version of the Go game in the Earth Age. In addition to black and white, red and blue chess pieces are added. Up to four people can play at the same time. Qin Jiandan never understood the rules.
"Jiandan, I heard that you went out on a date with a policewoman before the cadre meeting was over?"
The master twisted the chess piece in his hand, and his words were slightly angry, but his eyes did not turn to the disciple who stood aside.
Qin Jiandan felt like a primary school student who was forced to stand, and beads of sweat could not help but form in his palms.
"Master, this is not a private matter! I am asking the policewoman to help us investigate the traitor in the guild!"
"And the cadre meeting has been concluded. On the one hand, it is approaching noon, and on the other hand, Zhu Laoer also made arrangements to break up the meeting..."
The master shook his head, as if he was slightly confused about the move on the chessboard.
"Jiandan, I heard Hu Chi talk about the situation of the cadre meeting. Zhu Laoer is obviously not convinced by you, and you agreed to it after he just let the meeting go? Aren't you in a hurry to go on a date with the policewoman!?"
Qin Jiandan was really curious about what the policewoman wanted to do when she came to find him.
The master dropped a son and made a crisp sound.
"Power is something that is difficult to get back once you let it go! Next time Zhu Laoer proposes to adjourn the meeting, even if it really should be adjourned, you should delay it for a few minutes and then announce the adjournment!"
"Brother, I know I was wrong."
Qin Jiandan very much hoped that Hu Chi would also stay here, so that as a person attending the meeting at the same time, the senior brother could share some of the master's scolding.
The master had said before that only Qin Jiandan and Hu Chi knew about his serious illness, and he omitted Dr. Li who treated him at that time. After all, without a doctor, even the president himself would not know for sure what illness he had.
Dr. Li is dressed in neat buttoned Chinese clothes and wears thin glasses that reflect white light on his face. His eyes are always invisible, but other parts of his face are full of expressions.
Although he is proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine, his master always prefers to use Chinese medicine methods for treatment. Now there is a bowl of dark yellow medicinal soup next to the chessboard. The smell is not unpleasant or unpleasant.
"President, although Jian Dan has some talent in martial arts, he is still very immature in terms of power. Is it really a good move for you to make him the young master?"
Dr. Li has superb medical skills and a transcendent status in the Night Dragon Society. Even Zhu Laoer, the most arrogant among the four major cadres, does not dare to provoke him casually. After all, the outer city is in chaos, and offending the doctor will not bring good results.
"It's enough to have talent in martial arts. The so-called analogy is to understand everything." Although the master often cursed people in person, when talking about Qin Jiandan with third parties, he often spoke highly of it.
"Zhu Laoer is not immature at all when it comes to things like power. But I hate that kind of cunning person. If he hadn't been able to make money for the guild, I would have killed him long ago."
"On the other hand, Jian Dan has no great ambitions. In other words, he has no ambition. But he is quite proud and has the style of an ancient chivalrous man. I admire him very much."
This compliment made Qin Jiandan's face turn red. He didn't understand why liking beer and fried chicken was considered "chivalrous".
"Jiandan, don't be so proud. Do you think I forgive you for finding a woman?"
The master changed his tone and just after praising Qin Jiandan, he started to investigate the policewoman's problem again, which made Qin Jiandan's mood feel like a roller coaster.
Qin Jiandan had no choice but to explain in detail: "Master, the policewoman I went to see is Chief Mu Yue from District 12 in the inner city. She has the authority to inquire who from the Night Dragon Club has been to the inner city in the past three months and where they stayed. Passed. She promised to give me the data tomorrow!"
In exchange for data, Qin Jiandan needs to go through the divorce procedures with the policewoman. There is no need to let the master know this.
"Sheriff?" The master's tone did not change for the better. "Did she become a police chief at such a young age? I don't like it. It's enough for a woman to care for her husband and raise her children. There is no need to be so career-minded."
"Also, Hu Chi told me that she is very beautiful. Do you think so too, Jian Dan?"
"Yes, it's quite beautiful." Qin Jiandan considered his words. The master has always favored boys over girls. The reason why Linlin is not accepted as a disciple is not because Linlin has a leg injury, but simply because the master does not accept female disciples.
"Hmph, beauty is a disaster!"
The master dropped a piece under the chessboard. Judging from Dr. Li's reaction, it seemed that this piece was not very clever.
"Women... From Concubine Yang to Cleopatra, I don't know how many countries and wealthy families have been defeated because of women. Haven't you learned your lesson, Jiandan?"
Qin Jiandan thought to himself that I have never touched a woman as a virgin, how should I learn my lesson?
"If you want to get married in the future, it's better for the other party to know everything about her. I think Linlin is good."
Qin Jiandan thought he heard wrongly at first.
"Eh...Eh??? Master, what are you talking about? Linlin is my sister!!!"
"What sister? Didn't the DNA test show that we are not related by blood? You are just childhood sweethearts who lived together when you were living on the streets."
Qin Jiandan did not dare to tell the master that he had a longer memory of living in the same family as Linlin. After all, those were just confusing fragments, and the master would probably regard them as wishful thinking.
"Linlin..." Doctor Li opposite the master smiled and said, "I don't know why she always reminds me of pandas. I remember that for a while, Jiandan, you nicknamed her "Panda Lin"? "
Qin Jiandan blushed and said, "I wasn't very sensible when I was a child. Doctor Li, please don't mention this."
"That's right." The master gave birth to another son. "Linlin's hacking skills are indeed as precious as those of a panda. She can also assemble her own weapons and learn everything very quickly. These are very valuable talents and cannot be compromised just because she marries elsewhere. Let these talents flow out.”
Forcing himself to marry his sister for such a reason was completely unacceptable to Qin Jiandan, but he also realized a certain point belatedly.
"Wait a minute, Master, you seem to be saying - the "Steel Armor Breathing Technique" is not a boy's skill, and it won't cause my kung fu to malfunction if I get married? "
"Hmph, you can't reach my level anyway. As long as you're not too obsessed with women, you won't lose your skills."
Qin Jiandan was very relieved, thinking that he would enter the coffin with the title of virgin.
My mood suddenly cheered up. I should share this good news with my wife immediately!
It's a pity that my wife didn't want a divorce because her marital life was not harmonious...
"Master... you seemed to have said just now that women don't need to have a career, but you asked me to be with Linlin and said that her talents are valuable to the guild - isn't it a bit contradictory?"
The master held the red piece in the air and was speechless for a moment. Finally, his face turned red and his neck was rough and he said: "Asshole, how dare you contradict the master when I'm sick!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The master started coughing again, and the chess pieces fell, breaking up the original layout on the chessboard. Qin Jiandan hurriedly came up to check, but Dr. Li took his time and checked the president's pulse step by step.
In Ringstone, the company has mastered biotechnology far beyond the age of Earth, but some cancers still have not been conquered. Although prosthetic technology is becoming increasingly mature, it is limited to external organs, and there are still many difficulties in replacing internal organs.
What's more, Qin Qi hates the company very much and cannot give his body to the company for surgery. As the legendary president of the Night Dragon Society, even if the news of his illness were leaked, it would cause a huge shock to the outer city's ecology.
"Jiandan, please step back... I want to rest for a while."
Qin Jiandan repeatedly confirmed that the master did not vomit blood this time before leaving uneasily.
After Qin Jiandan's back disappeared at the end of the martial arts training ground, Doctor Li let go of Qin Qi's wrist.
"President, you are pretending to cough even though you are not sick. Is it because you are about to lose this game of chess and you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of your disciples?"
Qin Qi glared at Dr. Li: "You are the only one who talks so much!"
※※※
Worried about his master's health, Qin Jiandan lowered his head and walked on the stone road at the Yelong Club headquarters. When he looked up, he found his sister watering flowers not far away.
Because the master said that just now, it's a little embarrassing to see Linlin now, but it's definitely not okay to not say hello.
"Linlin, do you want to go for a walk? These flowers are already blooming so luxuriantly!"
The bun-headed girl in kung fu uniform nodded. The water bottle in her hand separated into several lines of water, reflecting a rainbow in the sunlight. Since she was moving while watering the flowers, she was walking sideways.
"Because brother, you have become the young master, so I, the younger sister, should practice the walking method of a crab in advance."
Linlin was obviously joking. She works hard in the Night Dragon Club, treats people kindly, and has always been very popular. She can't bully others even if they are forced to do so.
Moreover, the master is quite strange. You could say that he favors boys over girls. He remembers to save any delicious food for Linlin. In some ways, he spoils her like his own granddaughter. No matter how high their status is, people in the guild would rather bully Qin Jiandan than Linlin.
Of course, now that Qin Jiandan has become the young master, he cannot be easily offended.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Linlin." Qin Jiandan apologized, "I was in a hurry when I came back from the inner city yesterday and forgot to buy you the inner city buns!"
"It doesn't matter, I'm not angry." Linlin smiled, but whenever her sister showed this expression, Qin Jiandan always felt that it contained murderous intent.
If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that the tools in my sister's multi-functional belt have become flower shovels, insecticides, and gardening scissors. Linlin will put whatever tools she wants in her belt for whatever job she is doing, which can greatly improve work efficiency.
In addition, I always feel that the pink gradient kung fu suit on Linlin has been cleaned. The pink earlobe hair is also much smoother, and there is a faint smell of shampoo in the air.
Linlin washed her hair last night... no, took a shower? Because her hair is not easy to dry when bathing at night, Linlin usually bathes during the day. What special circumstances caused her to bathe at night last night?
What Qin Jiandan didn't know was that Linlin failed to invade the inner city's drone last night, but when Qin Jiandan returned to the outer city, she saw Qin Jiandan's expression clearly different from before through the drone lens in the outer city.
The expression didn't look like he had won a martial arts competition in the past, or had eaten beer-fried chicken that tasted better, but a face he had never seen before, as if he was full of expectations for the future, as if he had fallen in love.
"I heard Hu Chi say, brother, you just went on a date with... a policewoman from the inner city?"
Qin Jiandan showed an even more embarrassed expression than when facing his master, as if he had been caught cheating on someone.
"No, it's just for the guild, Linlin, don't think too much about it."
Linlin accidentally poured water on her sleeves when watering the flowers, but the water did not remain on her clothes and quickly dispersed into water droplets and fell to the ground.
This pink gradient girl's kung fu suit is waterproof, fire-resistant, and anti-pollution. It is a high-tech product customized through Dr. Li's approach. The glare effect is not caused by being stained with oil, but it is already present and can interfere with the thermal imaging scanning of the drone to a certain extent.
Now, the sunlight reflected by this dress forced Qin Jiandan to avoid looking away slightly.
Seeing that her brother was not looking at her, Linlin turned her face in the opposite direction angrily.
"Hmph, I had to get a B-level permit to make it easier for my brother to enter the city. As a result, you and the policewoman became "that kind of" family... I really asked for it! "
"Anyway," Linlin's eyes suddenly turned red when she said this, "Anyway, I am a dirty kid who eats garbage. She is an elegant young lady in the inner city. How can I compare to her?"
Eh? Eh eh eh? Linlin, why are you crying? How can you be so jealous when you eat? Where does this stomach ache come from? I remember that until last night, we still had a pure brother-sister relationship, right? It's good to eat garbage and other things we had when we were kids. Who do I have to think you're dirty? And didn’t you take a shower and clean your clothes and they are now very clean?
No... Although the master in retreat is now only willing to see me, Hu Chi, and Dr. Li, it is not ruled out that Master said something to Linlin through Hu Chi that should not be said.
Although Senior Brother Huchi is loyal, he is loyal to the guild and Master. When it is time to trick me, he will trick me mercilessly! Sure enough, I wanted to sacrifice senior brother's other hand in exchange for Linlin's health, and I didn't wrong him!
