It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?
Chapter 516 [165] I must apologize to my sister
Chapter 516 [165] I must apologize to my sister
Mu Yue drove the floating police car and landed at the headquarters of the Night Dragon Society. The guards at the door found it very novel and couldn't help but discuss it after the young master and the sheriff left.
"It feels more stable than a hover taxi... Can I drive a hover car directly across the isolation wall without going through the checkpoint?"
"Dream on! We will be shot down by the Spider Chariot if we do that! It will definitely be faster than before..."
After arriving at the headquarters, Mu Yue asked Qin Jiandan to ask Linlin to check the police car and give priority to official business. Mu Yue herself went to the guest house to visit Ruishuang and Nestor who lived there.
Qin Jiandan first went to the west barracks (arsenal) and took out the hidden black and pink two-color mechanical keyboard from there. This was a Christmas gift for Linlin.
Arriving at the Intelligence Department on the third floor underground, Qin Jiandan saw Linlin working behind a monitoring desk lined with screens. He hid the keyboard behind him and apologized first:
"Linlin, I finally got a chance to cure your leg, but because the other party is from the company, the surgery might have side effects, so I had to refuse... You won't be angry with me, right?"
The girl with a bun-like hair and wearing a red dazzling kung fu costume turned to face her brother in her seat. The pink hair hanging from her temples swayed gently, and her black eyes were full of confusion.
"What exactly is going on? The company wants to bribe my brother?"
Qin Jiandan briefly told Linlin about his meeting with Doctor Chen, including the possibility that Ding Yuyunxian had a back door in her brain. Doctor Chen said that with just a snap of his fingers he could make her get on all fours and bark like a dog.
"Doctor Chen promised that if I kill all the "funny ghosts", he would give me a share of the company's aid. But even if I get this share, I'm afraid I can't use it to treat your leg injury..."
"Of course!"
Linlin smiled innocently, not showing any anger at all. Instead, she thought it was strange that her brother came to apologize.
"The company is totally untrustworthy. What if they use me as an experiment to treat my leg? I don't want to be a dog for anyone other than my brother!"
Qin Jiandan frowned slightly: "The word 'being a dog'... is so unpleasant to hear."
I don’t know if it was the rebellious psychology of adolescence, but after being told by her brother that, Linlin pressed her right leg on top of her injured left leg and lifted up her heavy insulated engineer boots to show that her leg injury didn’t affect her life too much.
"Dogs are a symbol of loyalty! Don't you want to be my dog, brother?"
In order to eliminate the embarrassment, Qin Jiandan immediately took out the mechanical keyboard from behind.
"I saw this keyboard at the Special Zone Market. The black and pink color matches your hair color. Your current keyboard is quite old. Do you want to replace it with this one?"
Resources in the outer city are tight, so Qin Jiandan did not put Christmas packaging on every gift. If it was a packaging box, he used the packaging box; if it was a packaging bag, he used the packaging bag.
Linlin's eyes lit up, and she immediately put the keyboard on the table and tried the feel of it through the plastic bag. Compared with color, Linlin has a certain engineer's nature, and she pays more attention to practicality.
"It's really good! It's rare that my brother didn't get fooled when he went to pick out electronic products. Is this a Christmas present? What do you want in return?"
Qin Jiandan was not very familiar with electronic products. He was not fooled because the market vendors did not dare to cheat the young master of Yelong Society.
"You don't have to return the gift. I prepared Christmas gifts for many people this time, not just you, Linlin. Others don't have to return the gift, otherwise your good intentions will only increase the burden on them."
Linlin said to herself, "Then my original keyboard will have to be sent to the incinerator and burned."
Linlin usually pays attention to garbage recycling, and the price of electronic products in Huanshi City is much more expensive than on Earth. Qin Jiandan was surprised and asked, "Can't we sell them as second-hand goods at the market?"
The hacker girl tried to secretly release the posture of her right leg pressing on her left leg. She felt a little pain.
"This is an asset of the Intelligence Department. We can't treat it as ordinary second-hand goods. Some powerful decryption experts can even obtain confidential information based on the wear and tear of the keyboard. In case of emergency, we have to burn it."
"Brother, please help with it, but don't use the Eternal Spiritual Fire just to save trouble, otherwise it will waste heat energy. If you put it into the garbage incinerator yourself, it can at least increase the temperature of the pipe heating a little bit."
There is a garbage incinerator between the Intelligence Department and the Servants' Quarters, which is mainly used to burn confidential items and can also recover some heat energy.
Qin Jiandan agreed and helped Linlin replace the keyboard. Looking at the pink part of the new keyboard complementing Linlin's pink long hair, Qin Jiandan felt a little satisfied.
But a new keyboard is nothing compared to healing a broken leg...
As if she noticed the look on her brother's face, Linlin suddenly had an idea and asked in a very optimistic tone:
"If I get prosthetic legs after I turn 18, will my brother be responsible for supporting me?"
Qin Jiandan said without hesitation: "Of course!"
In fact, hackers are a very sought-after resource in all major guilds. As a general in the intelligence department, Linlin receives a fairly high salary, but she often uses it to buy electronic products, so she seems stretched.
After getting a positive answer, Linlin blinked and asked again: "If no one wants me because I have a prosthetic body...will my brother want me?"
Qin Jiandan grinned, because the two siblings were not related by blood. Since they were homeless, Linlin had developed a serious dependence on Qin Jiandan, and would occasionally relapse like this. "Installing a prosthesis... is a last resort. The company must have the technology to heal your leg. When I defeat the company in the future, I will take this technology away and let Doctor Li perform the surgery on you!"
"If you want me to, I won't treat my leg..."
Qin Jiandan was so embarrassed by his sister that his face turned red. He picked up the old keyboard from the table and was going to destroy it.
"The sheriff's car is parked outside. The police department installed a floating module on the police car. We suspect there may be eavesdropping devices inside. Go check it out when you are not busy."
After saying this, he quickly ran away.
After sending the old keyboard into the incinerator and watching it burn through the heat-resistant glass, Qin Jiandan returned to the west barracks and called a few guards to help him get the Christmas gifts he was going to give.
I had originally planned to give them out in bulk during Christmas, but now that I’ve already given Linlin a gift, I might as well give them all out in advance.
First, they met Aunt He who was watering the flowers in the atrium garden. Qin Jiandan gave Aunt He a flower seed set, some of which were quite rare. Aunt He happily accepted it.
Hu Chi got a prosthetic maintenance kit, but he was reluctant to replace his old model prosthetic right arm because he had developed feelings for it over time.
"Wow, Jiandan, you're so thoughtful. You said we don't have to return the gift, but I don't have much money left at the end of the month... By the way, didn't you buy anything for Master?"
Qin Jiandan winked at him: "What you should ask is what Christmas gift you bought for Master."
Tiger Chi was surprised and said, "I just said that I have no money... and Master has always hated Westerners. Although he agreed to this Christmas marketing, he may not like others to give him Christmas gifts, right?"
Qin Jiandan nodded and said, "That's why I sent Master a Cyber Dragon Spring Sword etched with an internal force circuit in your name. I have just sent guards to deliver it."
"Wait! What if Master gets angry?"
"Master may not be angry." Qin Jiandan smiled and waved goodbye to Hu Chi, "I have something else to do. When Master asks, you must openly admit that the gift was given by you, so as not to miss Master's praise!"
Hu Chi was very afraid of being scolded, so he ran without stopping to the west side of the martial arts training ground where his master was in seclusion to clarify that the Christmas gift was from Qin Jiandan.
Qin Qi felt that the Cyber Dragon Spring Sword was light and could be used in teaching the Sharp Frost Sword Technique, so he was very satisfied with the gift. If Tiger Chi had not clarified, he could have received a few compliments...
In Dr. Li's clinic, Qin Jiandan gave Dr. Li some miscellaneous medical equipment. Here he also met Uncle Gear who helped adjust electronic products and gave Uncle Gear a hard drive.
Uncle Gear had been feeling guilty and fearful about hiding Qin Jiandan and his sister in the hibernation chamber for so long. He was flattered to see that the young master actually gave him a Christmas present. He vowed to fill this hard drive with useful information for the Night Dragon Society.
In the past few days, Shaman Gesang has taken Doctor Li as his teacher, and he has been getting along well with other fellow practitioners. He has also been doing his best to treat patients. Except for some criticism about him carrying a bottle of cockroaches, everyone has a good impression of him.
Even Su Yue, who was recuperating here, and his daughter Su Xiao, who was a nurse, received small gifts. However, Qin Jiandan did not give Gesang a gift, hoping to test his reaction.
Gesang was a simple and honest person who was passionate about medicine. He didn't think there was anything wrong with not having his own Christmas present. If he had to say, the young master allowing him to learn from Doctor Li was the biggest Christmas gift.
Qin Jiandan went to room 602 of the guest house to visit his wife and children, and delivered Rui Shuang's cake box.
The girl with long black hair opened the exquisite cake box and saw cute cake forks, dessert knives, silver teaspoons, napkins and placemats, but she didn't find the most important cake.
"Where's Ruishuang's cake? Ruishuang can eat cake without cutlery! What's a Christmas present without a cake?"
Rui Shuang, who was 12 years old, but had been instilled with Mu Yue's memories before she was 8 years old, protested loudly. She even used her supernatural powers to strengthen her teeth, making them look like shark teeth, as if she wanted to bite the cake box into pieces.
“Don’t be mean to daddy.” Mu Yue stopped Rui Shuang in time, and Rui Shuang became obedient only after being hit lightly on the head.
"You can only have sweets once a week. They will be placed in this box for you to eat. If you break the box, you won't have any sweets to eat."
After hearing what her mother said, Rui Shuang took the exquisite cake box and carefully placed it among her collection of dolls, treating it as a treasure that would refresh the cake at a fixed time. She seemed to whisper to the little bear doll to help her take good care of the cake box.
Since some of Ruishuang's memories were copied from Mu Yue, Qin Jiandan suspected that Mu Yue also often talked to dolls when she was a child.
The gift chosen for Nestor was an Indian-style hand-woven tapestry. Qin Jiandan had already called the informant in the inner city and asked them to send it to Mu Yue's villa and hang it up in the restaurant. When Nestor returned and saw that the tapestry had been reunited, he would surely be happy.
After Nestor thanked Qin Jiandan, Mu Yue asked alertly: "Did you secretly buy wine and plan to give it to my father?"
Mu Yue guessed it right. Qin Jiandan had indeed selected good wine for Han Tiancheng, and planned to secretly give it to his father-in-law when Mu Yue was not around.
The sheriff knew the answer from Qin Jiandan's eyes. She angrily said, "Give that bottle of wine to someone else! Even if it's replaced with a lottery ticket issued by the Night Dragon Society, he can't get another chance to drink! What are you laughing at? You should also drink less beer. I don't want my father and husband to be alcoholics!"
