In the humid laundry room, there is the smell of disinfectant and a faint musty smell.
Qin Jiandan saw 10 large-capacity drum washing machines lined up in front of him. It was not that the guest building needed so many washing machines to spin at any time, but that the water quality in the outer city was not good, and even if it was filtered, it would often block the sewage pipe of the washing machine. According to Linlin, is "Redundant Backup Required".
At this time, none of the washing machines were working, and all the drum doors were opened sideways to ensure air circulation and blow away the odor. Qin Jiandan did not notice Linlin's figure immediately.
"My stupid sister..."
Qin Jiandan walked towards a washing machine in the center. Although Linlin got into the washing machine drum to "hide and seek", her maintenance tool box was still outside, so it was not too obvious.
"caught you!"
Qin Jiandan put his hand into the roller and wanted to make a joke with Linlin, but found Linlin sitting in the roller with her knees facing outward, with an expression like a child who had done something wrong.
"This washing machine is out of order." The bun-headed girl held a screwdriver in her right hand on her lap.
Qin Jiandan was a little strange: "That's why you came here to repair it, wasn't it? Why did you get into the drum? Are you hiding from me?"
Linlin did not answer her brother's question, and glanced at the direction of the washing machine's start button with lonely eyes:
"I've fixed it. Brother, close the drum door, press the start button, and spin me to death in the washing machine."
Qin Jiandan was very happy with her sister:
"Linlin, what are you doing! The technical fabric training clothes you are wearing do have a quick-wash function, but you can't wash them with others! Why should I have to put my sister to death in the washing machine?"
Linlin hid the lower half of her face behind her knees:
"The police chief went there to catch the rapist on my tip. Even if I didn't divorce you, your relationship would have been severely damaged, right? I did all this out of jealousy, so just kill me."
Linlin's confession of taking the initiative to accept punishment quickly made Qin Jiandan relieved. After all, Linlin had been taking care of him through illness and disaster for many years.
Qin Jiandan squatted down opposite the roller where Linlin was hiding, keeping the same eye level as his sister:
"Linlin, in fact, your informant operation... failed. The police chief didn't meet me at all, and nothing like what you imagined happened last night."
"Eh?" Linlin looked up in surprise in the roller, but hit her head in the narrow space:
"oops!"
Qin Jiandan smiled and stretched out his hand to Linlin. Linlin responded with her left hand and climbed out of the washing machine drum with the help of her brother.
My sister's little hands were soft and cold. It must have been the hateful metal roller that took away her body heat.
Qin Jiandan resisted the urge to kick the washing machine and helped Linlin stand up:
"Linlin, please don't snitch to the Sheriff again. I have promised many times that I will not leave you after I marry the Sheriff. If the Sheriff insists that I leave you, I will not marry her." get married!"
"Really?" Linlin looked up into her brother's eyes. The two strands of pink hair beside her ears swayed as she stood up:
"Are you really willing not to marry the Sheriff for me?"
Qin Jiandan immediately corrected the ambiguity in his sister's words:
"What I mean is that I will not abandon you just to marry the police chief. No matter where I am in the world from now on, I will always take you with me."
Linlin sighed with some frustration and relief. After a moment, she raised her left little finger:
"Then hook up with me! If you don't abandon me, brother, I will stop spying on you and snitching on you! Those who lie will swallow a thousand needles!"
Qin Jiandan frowned: "Isn't Thousand Needles what the Luo Ying Group said? The Night Dragon Club should say "No change is allowed for a hundred years," right? "
Linlin was about to poke her left little finger into her brother's nostril:
"I think a thousand needles are more painful! It would be best to swallow a thousand needles every day for the next hundred years!"
There was nothing he could do, Qin Jiandan assured his naive sister, put his arm around her shoulders and patted her a few more times before completing a complete set of comforting movements.
"Then, I'll go back to the monitoring room. The Intelligence Department can't rely solely on video..."
Qin Jiandan has always wanted to complain. Since the sudden death of the previous head of the Intelligence Department, the Intelligence Department has become Linlin's one-person department. The other maids and guards who help watch the videos are just a make-up.
From this point of view, the master is quite impersonal. The principle is "whoever is useful should be used as hard as possible." No wonder I have to hope that Linlin will marry outside.
Hackers are an absolutely scarce resource in Ringstone City, and the bounty on each person's head is high. The "Shengzhi Group" and "Chouyun Group" also have their own hackers. Each of them is closely protected and does not meet each other. They only share some intelligence when absolutely necessary.
Qin Jiandan helped Linlin pack up the toolbox on the ground and walked next to Linlin.
She felt uncomfortable curling up in the washing machine drum, and Linlin dragged her left foot slightly when walking.
Qin Jiandan looked very heartbroken. Although he knew that he would return to normal after walking a few steps, and that if he didn't run or jump, he wouldn't be able to tell the difference from ordinary people, but as an older brother, he would still be gripped by the feeling of powerlessness in his stomach.
Dr. Li who has worked in the company all said that he missed the opportunity for treatment, and the only way to restore full function is to replace it with a prosthetic limb... Could it be that Linlin's coming-of-age ceremony was amputation?
Now that we have Mu Yue as a line, we can ask her to ask the Chief of Police if there is a more sophisticated prosthetic to choose from. If it is the level of Mu Yue's prosthetic eye, it is still acceptable.
Qin Jiandan was evaluated by his master as "valuing sex over friends", but he did not "value sex over girls". If Mu Yue strongly opposed Qin Jiandan's frequent meetings with his sister after marriage, Qin Jiandan would have to regretfully break up with Mu Yue.
But it doesn't feel like that. Mu Yue seems to have a strong tolerance for young girls with unfortunate backgrounds.
Just now, Qin Jiandan took a moment to answer a phone call. Tom Chen said that Sheriff Mu Yue did not make a fuss in the honeymoon suite, but instead called Xiao Xia and Valei into the police car together, as if to send Xiao Xia back to the Luoying Group.
Qin Jiandan still doesn't know how Valei and Xiaoxia got to Sheriff Lake. He can only hope that Mu Yue can be "tolerant and generous" and treat Linlin as patiently as he treats Xiaoxia.
Walking from the laundry room to the corridor outside, Linlin's steps became normal, but Linlin had a good guess as to what her brother was thinking just now.
Linlin works hard in the Intelligence Department so as not to become a burden to her brother. When her brother was not a young master, every time Linlin used her salary to treat her brother to fried chicken, she did so out of pride and a complicated psychology of worrying about her brother eating unhealthy food.
"Yeah!" Linlin coughed lightly to attract her brother's attention:
"Although I promised not to monitor you any more, I can't turn a blind eye when my brother's figure appears on the surveillance screen."
"Of course." Qin Jiandan smiled, "What happened in the Spider Web Tunnel the night before yesterday was thanks to you informing Sheriff Mu Yue that we were able to organize personnel to come to the rescue in time."
Linlin deliberately took the next big step, even if it hurt her muscles, she still wanted to show that she was fine. She also needed stronger words to divert her brother's worries about her:
"The regeneration cabin cannot cure diseases, brother, you know that, right? If you go to Yingtong Street to have a good time because I promised not to spy on you, I will risk being arrested by the company but also hack into the TV station and report your behavior to Live broadcast throughout the city!”
wait a minute! What’s so good about that live broadcast! "The Late Night Habits of the Young Master of the Night Dragon Club.avi" should not be broadcast for free on TV stations! I show my face and work hard, so I can finally get some royalties back!
And is your brother such a person with no self-control? Even if I want to go to Yingtong Street to have a good time, why not go to Xiaoxia? At least Xiaoxia doesn’t have the infectious diseases you’re worried about!
Linlin ignored her brother's inner complaints. She made a "V" shape with two fingers of her left hand, first pointed at her own eyes, and then pointed at her brother along the path of her eyes.
That means "I will always stare at you." This is a common gesture in the American drama DVDs sold by Jiang Chouyun, but it cannot be used in front of the master.
The maid Cuihua came over and told Linlin that the shower in room 606 was also defective. Linlin shrugged helplessly and took the elevator with Cuihua to repair the shower.
Qin Jiandan didn't get on the elevator together. He handed the toolbox to Cuihua and told Cuihua not to make Linlin tired.
Cuihua agreed wholeheartedly. She boasted that she and Linlin were sworn friends. It was Linlin who was willing to lie down and use her as a cushion when she fell down.
Cuihua is petty and stingy, and Qin Jiandan doubts whether she has the qualifications to be a sex mat. Moreover, the maids all like Linlin. If you ask her in person, each of them will say that they are sworn friends with Linlin.
Before the elevator door closed, Cuihua asked Miss Valei when she would come back to stay. Room 601 had been cleaned long ago and all facilities were in the most complete state.
Are you and Vale also close friends? You are just thinking about the tip Valle gave you! Some people say that you are having an affair with Zhu Shengzhi. If you leak headquarters secrets to Zhu Shengzhi, don't blame me for being ruthless!
Qin Jiandan bid farewell to Linlin and returned to the lobby of the hotel, where he unexpectedly encountered Jiang Chouyun checking in at the front desk.
"Hello, young master!"
Jiang Chouyun, who had thick hair and beard, saluted Qin Jiandan. A small travel backpack was placed on the platform in front of him. It seemed a bit too small for accommodation supplies.
Qin Jiandan stopped:
"Brother Qiuyun, why are you here? It's not yet time for the meeting of the four major cadres, right?"
Jiang Chouyun's posture was very low. He heard about the young master's horrific deeds such as causing trouble in the cobweb tunnel, annihilating deputy Jefferson's team of the Cowboys alone, and refusing to retreat in the face of the Black Mist Beast for a long time.
"I came here specifically to apologize to the Young Master. Young Master, I gave gifts to Sergeant Mu Yue's relatives and friends without knowing it clearly. My subordinates failed to execute the instructions well, which caused trouble for the Young Master..."
Qin Jiandan waved his hand and said: "This matter is over. I should ask your subordinate...that man named A Fei to tell you that you don't need to give gifts to Sheriff Mu Yue anymore, right?"
Jiang Chouyun's face turned pale:
"Master Tiexin is chasing the young master. She was born in Fahai Temple in District 1. This is the territory of the Choi Yun Group. I am also to blame."
Having said this, Jiang Chouyun took out a velvet ring box from his arms and opened it slightly at an angle. The rainbow-colored glow inside immediately reflected on the lobby wall, turning it into a dreamy and blurry ocean.
"This is a seven-color brilliant diamond." Jiang Chouyun said after closing the ring box. "The brothers got it at an auction in the inner city. We all think it is very suitable for the young master to give it to Sheriff Mu Yue."
Qin Jiandan is not a money-grubbing person, but he is indeed tempted at this moment. It can be said that he is overjoyed.
This is the treasure that should be won at the auction! In comparison, Tom Chen, what kind of fake auction did you and Jerry Xu attend? Both of them almost died on it!
Colorful brilliant diamonds are found in phlogiston crystal veins with a very low probability. They are usually made of eternal gold bases by famous craftsmen and made into engagement rings among top nobles.
The ring given by Jiang Chouyun was absolutely the best among them. The colorful diamond in the shape of a heart was cut and rounded, and it overflowed with brilliance under the sunlight. The moment the ring box was opened, the maid at the front desk showed a greedy expression as if she wanted to eat the ring and Jiang Chouyun together.
No wonder the maid has never seen the world. Qin Jiandan heard that the brighter the colorful diamonds, the more valuable they are. Just based on the burst of color just now, even those who are not high-ranking members of the three major families may not be able to afford them.
Fortunately, Linlin went to the 6th floor to repair the shower, otherwise she would definitely be jealous...
After only thinking for a second, Qin Jiandan took the ring box from Jiang Chouyun:
"Brother Qiuyun, you are serious. Consider this seven-color brilliant diamond bought by me. I will go to the inner city to propose to the police chief today!"
