It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 157 [018] The deal is done, but if you don’t follow the rules you will be broadcast live on TV
In the humid laundry room, there was the smell of disinfectant and a faint smell of mold.

There are 10 large-capacity drum washing machines lined up in a row in front of Qin Jiandan. It's not that the guest house needs so many washing machines running at all times, but the water quality in the outer city is not good. Even after filtering, it will often clog the sewage pipes of the washing machines. According to Linlin, "redundant backup is needed."

At this time, none of the washing machines were working, and all of them had their drum doors open to the side to ensure air circulation and blow away the odor. Qin Jiandan did not notice Linlin's figure at the first time.

"My stupid sister..."

Qin Jiandan walked towards a washing machine in the middle. Although Linlin had crawled into the washing machine drum to "play hide and seek", her maintenance toolbox was still outside, which was too obvious.

"caught you!"

Qin Jiandan reached his hand into the drum to play a joke on Linlin, but found that Linlin was sitting in the drum with her knees hugged and facing outwards, with an expression like a child who had done something wrong.

"This washing machine is out of order." The chubby-haired girl held a screwdriver in her right hand, which was resting on her knees.

Qin Jiandan was a little puzzled: "Isn't that why you came here to repair it? Why did you get into the drum? Are you hiding from me?"

Linlin didn't answer her brother's question. She glanced at the start button of the washing machine with a sad look:

"I've fixed it. Brother, close the drum door and press the start button to spin me to death in the washing machine."

Qin Jiandan was so angry at his sister that he laughed:

"Linlin, what's wrong with you? The high-tech training suit you're wearing does have a quick-wash function, but you can't wash it with others! Why would I want to kill my sister in the washing machine?"

Linlin hid the lower half of her face behind her knees:
"The sheriff caught the adulterer after I tipped him off. Even if he didn't divorce you, your relationship must have been severely damaged, right? I did all this out of jealousy. You might as well kill me."

Linlin's confession of accepting punishment voluntarily made Qin Jiandan calm down quickly. After all, it was Linlin who had taken care of him when he was sick and had disasters for many years.

Qin Jiandan squatted down opposite the drum where Linlin was hiding, keeping his eyes level with his sister:

"Linlin, actually your snitching operation... failed. The sheriff never met me, and nothing happened last night like you imagined."

"Eh?" Linlin looked up in surprise in the drum, and ended up bumping 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 hands were soft and cold. It must be the damn metal roller that took away her body temperature.

Qin Jiandan resisted the urge to kick the washing machine and helped Linlin stand up:

"Linlin, don't tell the sheriff again. I have promised many times that I will not abandon you after I marry the sheriff. If the sheriff insists that I abandon you, I will not marry her!"

"Really?" Linlin looked up at her brother, the two strands of pink hair hanging down beside her ears swaying as she stood up:
"Are you really willing to marry the Sheriff for me?"

Qin Jiandan immediately corrected the ambiguity in her sister's words:

"What I mean is, I will not abandon you just to marry the sheriff. No matter where I end up in the world, I will always have you with me."

Linlin sighed with a feeling of discouragement and relief. After a moment, she raised her left pinky finger:

"Then make a promise with me! If you don't abandon me, I will stop spying on you and stop snitching on you! People who tell lies have to swallow a thousand needles!"

Qin Jiandan frowned: "Isn't the Falling Cherry Group's saying 'Thousand Needles'? The Night Dragon Society's saying should be 'No Changes for a Hundred Years', right?"

Linlin was about to poke her left pinky finger into her brother's nostrils:
"I think a thousand needles are more painful! It would be best if I could swallow a thousand needles every day for the next hundred years!"

There was no other way, Qin Jiandan made a pinky promise with his childish sister, then put his arm around her shoulders and patted her a few times before completing a full set of soothing actions.

"Then, I'll go back to the monitoring room. The Intelligence Department can't just rely on video..."

Qin Jiandan had always wanted to complain. Ever since the previous head of the Intelligence Department died suddenly at a young age, the Intelligence Department had become Linlin's one-person department, and the other maids and guards who helped watch the videos were just there to make up the numbers.

From this perspective, the master is quite inhuman. His principle is "use whoever is useful as much as possible". No wonder he doesn't want Linlin to marry someone else.

Hackers are an absolutely scarce resource in Huanshi City, and the bounty on each of them is not low. The "Biointelligence Team" and the "Sorrow Team" also have their own hackers, each of which is under strict protection and never meets each other. They only share some intelligence when it is absolutely necessary.

Qin Jiandan helped Linlin pick up the toolbox on the ground and walked beside Linlin.

Linlin felt uncomfortable curled up in the washing machine drum, and she dragged her left foot slightly when she walked.

Qin Jiandan looked at this with great pain. Although he knew that he would return to normal after walking a few steps and would not be different from ordinary people if he did not run or jump, as a brother, he was still gripped by the feeling of weakness in his stomach.

Doctor Li, who worked in the company, said that the opportunity for treatment has been missed, and the only way to restore full function is to replace the limbs with prosthetic ones... Is Linlin's coming-of-age ceremony an amputation surgery?

Now that we have Mu Yue, we can ask her to ask the Chief of Police if there are any more sophisticated prosthetics to choose from. If it is the same level as Mu Yue's prosthetic eye, it is barely acceptable. Qin Jiandan was evaluated by his master as "valuing love over friendship", but he did not "value love over sister". If Mu Yue strongly opposed Qin Jiandan's frequent meetings with his sister after marriage, Qin Jiandan would have to break up with Mu Yue with regret.

But I always feel that it’s not the case. Mu Yue seems to be very tolerant of young girls with unfortunate life experiences.

Just now, Qin Jiandan took a break from his busy schedule to answer a phone call. Chen Tom said that Sheriff Mu Yue did not make a scene in the honeymoon suite. Instead, he called Xiao Xia and Vale into the police car, as if he wanted to send Xiao Xia back to the Luoying Group.

Qin Jiandan had no idea how Vale and Xiaoxia fooled the sheriff, so he could only hope that Mu Yue would be more tolerant and treat Linlin with the same patience as he treated Xiaoxia.

Walking from the laundry room to the corridor outside, Linlin's steps returned to normal, but she had guessed about 70% of what her brother was thinking just now.

Linlin worked very hard in the intelligence department, just to avoid being a burden to her brother. Before her brother became the young master, every time Linlin treated her brother to fried chicken with her salary, she was filled with a complex feeling of pride and worry about her brother eating unhealthy food.

"Hmm!" Linlin coughed lightly to attract her brother's attention:
"Although I promised not to monitor you any more, I can't just ignore my brother's presence on the surveillance screen."

"Of course." Qin Jiandan smiled, "The spider web tunnel incident the night before yesterday was thanks to you tipping off Chief Mu Yue, so we were able to organize people to come to the rescue in time."

Linlin deliberately took a bigger step, even if it hurt her muscles, she wanted to appear fine. She also needed stronger words to divert her brother's worry about her:

"The regeneration chamber cannot cure diseases, you know that, brother? If you go to Yingtong Street to have fun just because I promised not to spy on you, I will risk being arrested by the company to hack into the TV station and broadcast your behavior live to the whole city!"

Wait a minute! What's so good about that live broadcast! Don't broadcast "The Night Dragon Club Young Master's Late Night Habits.avi" for free on TV! I've been showing up and working hard, so at least I can get some copyright fees back!
And is your brother such a person without self-control? Even if I want to go to Yingtong Street to have fun, why don't I go to Xiaoxia? At least Xiaoxia doesn't have the infectious disease you are worried about!

Linlin ignored her brother's inner complaints. She made a "V" shape with two fingers of her left hand, first pointing at her own eyes, and then following the trajectory of her gaze to point at her brother.

That means "I will keep watching you", which is a common gesture in the American TV drama DVDs sold by Jiang Chouyun. 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 broken. Linlin shrugged helplessly and took the elevator with Cuihua to fix the shower.

Qin Jiandan did not get into the elevator with them. He handed the toolbox to Cuihua and told her not to let Linlin get tired.

Cuihua agreed readily. She boasted that she and Linlin were close friends and that she was so close that she would lie down and act as a cushion for Linlin if she fell down.

Cuihua looks petite and Qin Jiandan doubts whether she can be used as a cushion. Moreover, the maids all like Linlin. If you ask them in person, every one of them will say that they are best friends with Linlin.

Before the elevator door closed, Cuihua asked Miss Vale when she would come back to live. Room 601 had already been cleaned and all the facilities were in the best condition.

Are you and Vale also close friends? You are just thinking about the tip Vale gave you! Some people say that you are having an affair with Zhu Shengzhi. If you leak the headquarters secrets to Zhu Shengzhi, don't blame me for being ruthless!

After saying goodbye to Linlin, Qin Jiandan returned to the lobby of the building and unexpectedly met Jiang Chouyun who was checking in at the front desk.

"Hello, young master!"

Jiang Chouyun, with thick hair and beard, saluted Qin Jiandan. A small travel backpack was placed on the platform in front of him. It seemed a little too small to be used for accommodation.

Qin Jiandan stopped and said:
"Brother Chouyun, why are you here? It's not time for the meeting of the four major cadres yet, right?"

Jiang Chouyun was very humble. He had heard about the young master's horrific deeds such as causing chaos in the spider web tunnel, single-handedly wiping out the team of Jefferson, the deputy of the cowboy group, and fighting a long battle against the black fog beast.

"I came here this time to apologize to you, young master. Young master, I gave gifts to Chief Inspector Mu Yue's relatives and friends without knowing the truth. My subordinates failed to carry out the execution and caused trouble for you..."

Qin Jiandan waved his hand and said, "This matter has passed. I should ask your subordinate... the one called A Fei to tell you that you don't need to give gifts to Chief Mu Yue anymore, right?"

Jiang Chouyun looked troubled:
"Master Tie Xin was chasing the young master. She was born in the Fahai Temple in District 1. This is the territory of the Sorrow Cloud Group. I am also to blame."

Having said that, Jiang Chouyun took out a velvet ring box from his arms and opened it slightly. The rainbow-colored glow inside was immediately reflected on the walls of the lobby, instantly turning it into a dreamy and misty ocean.

"This is a seven-color brilliant diamond." Jiang Chouyun said after closing the ring box, "My brothers got it at an auction in the inner city. We all think it is very suitable for the young master to give to Sheriff Mu Yue."

Qin Jiandan was not a greedy person, but he was indeed tempted at this moment and could be said to be overjoyed.

This is the treasure that should be won at the auction! In comparison, what kind of fake auction did you and Xu Jierui attend? Almost both of you died there!
Colorful brilliant diamonds are found in phlogiston crystal veins with a very low probability. They are usually made into a permanent gold base by famous craftsmen and made into engagement rings for top nobles.

The ring Jiang Chouyun presented was the best of the bunch, with a heart-shaped, colorful diamond cut perfectly and shining brightly under the fluorescent light. The moment the ring box was opened, the front desk maid showed a greedy expression as if she wanted to eat both the ring and Jiang Chouyun.

It's no wonder the maid had never seen the world. Qin Jiandan had heard that the brighter the seven-colored diamond, the more valuable it was. Judging from the burst of color just now, anyone who wasn't a high-ranking member of one of the three major families might not be able to afford it.

Luckily Linlin went to the 6th floor to fix the shower, otherwise I would definitely be jealous...

After only thinking for 1 second, Qin Jiandan took the ring box from Jiang Chouyun:
"Brother Chouyun, you are so thoughtful. Consider this colorful diamond as bought by me. I will go to the inner city to propose to the sheriff today!"
