We moved to Golden Courtyard

Who knows? Even Xu Qi himself isn't quite sure.

Perhaps only Xin'an herself knows how intense the shock she felt when she saw that white exoskeleton armor rushing towards the tracks on the 914 train that day.

Xin'an, born in such a country, never believed that anyone would be willing to risk everything for the life of another!

But with this living example right in front of her, she had no choice but to believe it.

He was my savior, so I helped him.

Besides, he doesn't even care that she turned around and threw herself into Li Fu's arms, so why should she be coy? This man probably can't even tolerate any other woman...

A workaholic who only cares about work.

"They're all missing the point... They're all analyzing why emergency braking and regular braking fail to stop the car, but they seem to have overlooked a crucial point."

"What?" Xin'an asked casually.

In fact, although she was a victim of the 914 incident, she didn't care at all—since she had already survived, what was there to worry about?

It's just a frightening and terrifying, rather painful memory.

"I remember telling you guys at the time to try manually stopping the train using the EB valve inside the carriage."

Xin'an frowned—indeed…

"Another issue, which is the key issue in this incident as described in these reports, is the aging of the (10238) segment bus cable."

But emergency braking systems are not so simple. And hasn't anyone considered why the brake failure only occurred during the 60-speed test?

"Perhaps it's because 60 km/h is too fast, which led to..."

"Isn't that just nonsense?" Xu Qi interrupted Xin An without any politeness and gave an explanation on the spot.

"The train first completed the TC1 head test, and then the TC2 head test."

This means that the entire train's cabling has already been subjected to the impact of 80-speed braking. If the aging cabling wasn't properly secured, it could break at high speeds. This would have happened long ago. The TC2 unit should have discovered the braking failure during the 20-speed test.

……

Xu Qi was right, but Xin An still couldn't help but frown—this guy... dared to interrupt me! He really is a guy whose eyes are only on work. (Crowdfunding group: 456127940)

"Moreover, I was in charge of the entire rectification process. I checked all the cables related to the braking system, and the static adjustment results were normal. How could this happen..."

"It's exactly the same as it was ten years ago."

"what?"

Xu Qi frowned. "What did you say?"

Xin'an took a sip of water nonchalantly and said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Don't you know? Ten years ago, a similar accident occurred."

And that time was even worse; the train brakes failed on the main line.

On the main line... brakes... failed?

Xu Qi suddenly felt a discomfort in his heart. His brain seemed to have been stimulated by something, and a familiar sense of despair seemed to be engulfing him!

His breathing grew heavier, just as he seemed to be remembering something!

Before my eyes… it was as if I were hallucinating; shimmering golden butterflies circled above my head, and starlight sprinkled down, and the painful illusion vanished… disappeared…

"Hey!"

Xu Qi shuddered as if startled awake. His gaze returned to normal, while Xin An sat opposite him with a furrowed brow, seemingly worried.

What happened to you just now?

She pointed to Xu Qi's forehead.

"I'm starting to break out in a cold sweat."

Xu Qi wiped his forehead—it really was true…

He shook his head, took a deep breath, and said casually, "It's nothing, I'm probably not fully recovered yet... What did you just say? Ten years ago? The same accident?"

"Yeah, didn't you know? You used to be so close to Supervisor Xia, I thought you knew. Even I, a newbie who's only been here for three or four years, knew."

"What is the relationship between Master... and Xia?"

Xin'an raised an eyebrow, a silent, mocking smile curving her lips, and said.

"It seems you really don't know... Speaking of which, aren't you even a little bit surprised? Why is it that Supervisor Xia is so outstanding, yet he's still just a technical supervisor in his forties?"

Xu Qi frowned—at this moment, he suddenly had many bad thoughts.

He recalled his conversation with Xia in the hospital room once again, when he... seemed to have made up his mind to accomplish something.

Char...

"Ten years ago, the brakes of train 956 failed on the main line, and at that time, Xia was the department manager of the sixth maintenance department. In that incident... it seems that something happened that Xia still can't get over."

······

I returned to the Golden Courtyard in a daze.

Even when Alicia greeted him as he opened the door, he acted as if he hadn't heard her and went straight to the sofa, where he then... collapsed onto it.

Aponia was right beside him, and the ever-loving woman couldn't help but move closer, stroking Xu Qi's forehead with her hand and whispering, "Did something happen, Xu Qi?"

……

Upon seeing this, everyone in the Golden Courtyard approached.

At first, they thought there was something wrong with his health, since he had just been discharged from the hospital.

But looking at Xu Qi's current mental state—it doesn't seem like it.

"I can't... just sit idly by..."

"Ok?"

"I have to figure this out—I absolutely have to figure this out!"

Xu Qi seemed to suddenly come back to his senses! His gaze hardened again, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Padofilis, who had leaned closer out of curiosity.

"Huh? Boss... Boss?"

"Kitty—this time, we need you!"

20. Pado has a pretty good figure.

Outside the Jiuting base of the Shanghai Metro.

Inside a van, Vivi was adjusting her various communication devices, while in the back seat, Pado had already changed into her night clothes.

The black bodysuit made Xu Qi take a few more glances – after all, he really couldn't tell that the cat had such a good figure.

Her curvaceous figure perfectly matches the golden ratio.

Her chest wasn't as...impressive as Alicia's or the others'. But the feeling of something so small it could be grasped in one hand was arguably more likely to arouse the desire to play with it...

"Hmm? Boss, could you check if the zipper on the back is zipped up properly?"

"okay."

Suppressing the urge to suddenly scare the little girl from behind, Xu Qi helped Pado zip up her jacket.

This scene was naturally witnessed by Vervi, who was standing nearby.

After Xu Qi sat back down, he couldn't help but lean in and whisper, "How is it? Little Pado has a great figure, right... at least she looks very strong, doesn't she? Like a gymnast."

"Cough! Cough cough!" Xu Qi pondered for a moment, then gave Vervi a thumbs up.

"It's really great."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Pado turned around in confusion.

"Nothing!" Because Xu Qi and Vervier spoke in such unison that Pado's gaze became even more suspicious.

"Alright, at least show some tension..."

Mei, sitting in the passenger seat, let out a long sigh—so why am I in this place?

Xu Qi scratched his head awkwardly, feeling a little guilty for a moment, after all, his girlfriend, oh... not yet, but almost, Mei was sitting in front of him.

And here I am, admiring Little Paddo's figure!

Ok……

It doesn't seem to work either.

"Mei, if there are any problems later, just call me."

"Don't worry... By the way, if I hadn't come over tonight, were you planning to go on stage yourself? Luckily Alicia told me, otherwise I wouldn't have known you were going to do something so dangerous!"

"Um... I'm sorry... I made you worry."

Seeing Xu Qi's guilty and remorseful expression, Wilvi couldn't help but laugh out loud—it was quite rare to see Xu Qi like this; it seemed... he really did like Mei.

Sakura, who was in charge of driving, saw that everyone was almost ready and said, "Alright, let me reiterate the battle plan."

"Pado, you're in charge of infiltrating the archives and finding all the information from ten years ago regarding the 956's brake failure. Mei, you're in charge of keeping watch for Pado. If you're discovered, just say you were helping Xu Qi retrieve the documents, understand?"

Mei and Paddo nodded solemnly.

"understand!"

"Don't worry, Xu Qi and I will take good care of you and provide support. After you infiltrate, Vilvi will take control of the entire Jiuting base's surveillance and show you the way."

"Leave it to me." Velvi patted the equipment beside her. "It's just a subway base, it's no problem for me."

Xu Qi took a deep breath, looked at everyone who was ready, felt a warm current surge in his heart, and couldn't help but say with deep emotion.

"Everyone... I'm troubling you all like this because of a capricious request of mine..."

"Alright, Sakura-nee, I'm off."

"Hey? Wait for me, Mei-nee!"

"Have a safe trip! With my communication equipment as a backup, there won't be any problems."

"Be careful. If things get too difficult, I'll rush in and forcibly take you out."

……

Soon, everyone on the bus got back to work. Xu Qi… Xu Qi sighed deeply.

"Okay, maybe I was being dramatic."

Through the communication device, whether it was Sakura and Vervi in ​​the car, or Mei and Pado who were already preparing to take action, they couldn't help but show a smile.

Xu Qi.

In the end, Mei felt sorry for Xu Qi and pressed the communication earpiece to speak.

"Everyone helps you unconditionally because they respect you, just as you would help us unconditionally... right?"

Sakura turned her head to look at Xu Qi.

"Look? Your girlfriend knows more than you do."

"Sister Ying!"

"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you guys."

Indeed...

Xu Qi put on his headphones and began working with Wei Erwei to crack the subway base's surveillance firewall. Some things... are better left unsaid.

Thank you, everyone at Golden Courtyard.

······

Meanwhile, on the other side, there was also a van, but the people in it were much more professional than those on Xu Qi's side.

After all, the information they needed was located at the group's headquarters in the Shanghai Metro.

Kevin's fingers flew across the computer screen; it was clear he was working hard to crack the other party's security firewall.

Fu Hua and Qian Jie were in charge of the stealth mission.

This setup clearly shows that they intend to force their way out when all else fails.

"This time, our Golden Courtyard has really gone all out," Su said, sitting in the driver's seat, unable to help but laugh. "Aren't we spoiling Xu Qi a bit too much?"

“Not counting the entire force, Alicia, Aponia, Gretchen, and Kosmo will be guarding the Golden Garden.” Mebius was setting up the various communication devices he had obtained from Velvi.
