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

Chapter 383 [032] Old Gear

Qin Jiandan did not give in to material gain. He left the hotel room immediately to discuss matters with the Chouyun group. He had no time to give the warmth of love to Xiaoxia or Walei.

In the sneak attack of the Ni'an Society last night, four members of the Chouyun Group were killed and many were injured. If it weren't for Qin Jiandan's superhuman water control, I'm afraid many more would have been poisoned to death or disabled. Currently, the Chouyun Group is very excited and they all say they want to organize their forces to attack District 4 and fight back.

Qin Jiandan came forward and persuaded the brothers gathered in the square. In the past, Qin Jiandan, a young man, would have rushed over by himself, but as a leader, he needed to analyze the situation carefully.

A simple calculation showed that 17 people from the Ni'an Society died, and a lot of guns and ammunition were left behind, and the goal of assassinating Jiang Chouyun was not accomplished. The other side suffered even greater losses.

The Cowboys and the Seven Colors launched a surprise attack, using the triple cover of darkness, spider web tunnels, and floating objects in the upper reaches of the canal to achieve a sudden attack. Now that the other side is prepared, the Night Dragon will hastily organize a counterattack and will not gain much advantage.

Qin Jiandan assured his brothers that he would take action in District 6 and organize people to retaliate against District 7 downstream. The main task of the Sorrow Cloud Group is still defense, and with the support of the headquarters and the Falling Cherry Group, it should not be difficult to do so.

Superman worked hard last night... No, the young master who saved people has spoken, and everyone feels embarrassed to disobey.

When Master Hui'an of Fahai Temple left, Qin Jiandan went to see her off. After all, she was the widow of Xu Jierui. Xu Jierui had been a deputy in the fire tongs group, and died in an explosion planned by the Nian Society. His death was both aggrieved and glorious. He should not be too negligent in public or in private, so as not to disappoint his brothers.

Unfortunately, Master Huiheng was shot and killed. The nuns cremated her on the spot and took her remains back to Fahai Temple. The urn was held by the only young monk, Mingwu.

Mingwu was also shot last night, and he has recovered after first aid in the regeneration chamber. But Qin Jiandan seemed to find something on the other party's waist, and after a closer look - isn't this a big rat tail!
You all said that Ming Wu didn't turn into a Furui, but his human body grew a rat tail! He coiled it around his waist and thought that others couldn't see it!

In Huanshi City, the degree of beast transformation of Furui people varies. There are cat girls who only grow two cat ears, and strong men whose hands turn into bear paws... Although Mingwu's degree of transformation is small, he has also become a Furui person! Combined with his original rat-like appearance, some people believe that he has directly turned into a rat Furui person. Xu Jierui has a successor!
Master Hui'an kept silent about her son's change, which might be related to the long-term discrimination policy of the Fahai Temple against Furui people. Qin Jiandan pretended to be deaf and dumb, and brought up all sorts of issues.

After seeing off Master Huian, Qin Jiandan had a private conversation with Jiang Chouyun and asked him to find a way to find the traitor in the Chouyun Group.

"How could the Ni'an know the exact location of the hospital's purified water warehouse? How did they know that you would appear in the Sanyi Temple Teahouse last night? There must be a traitor! Before digging out the traitor, the Sorrow Cloud Group cannot organize an attack, otherwise they will fall into the enemy's trap!"

Jiang Chouyun also suspected the existence of a traitor. He and the young master agreed to keep the traitor alive after catching him, and then kill him after obtaining information from him through interrogation.

Xiao Xia was temporarily left in District 12 to help manage the reinforcements of the Falling Cherry Blossom Group (Xiao Xia's objection was ineffective). Qin Jiandan asked Valei to drive for him, and the two drove to District 1 to meet up with Linlin.

Linlin rarely leaves the headquarters. She came to Area 1 with a few guards because she made a new discovery while investigating the old data of the Dark Rift Network.

"Brother, do you know who that person with the nickname 'Master of the Sutra Collection' who is a data hoarder on the forum is? It took me some effort to determine his real address. He is our old acquaintance, Uncle Gear!"

"Uncle Gear?" Qin Jiandan was stunned. "The boss of the prosthetics store, the one everyone calls 'Old Gear'?"

The meeting place between Qin Jiandan and Linlin was in Area 1, which was also the territory of the Chouyun Group. However, this area was close to the edge of Huanshi City and had little development.

The unclear morning light enveloped a desolate and dilapidated scene. Qin Jiandan, Linlin, and Valei walked on the abandoned streets, looking for the legendary "Uncle Gear's" prosthetic store. In order to take care of his sister's injured leg, Qin Jiandan deliberately slowed down his pace, but Linlin removed the weights from her engineer boots today, and her steps became much lighter, not holding her brother back.

The purpose of searching for old data on the Darknet was to find out the truth about the "police car explosion" that killed the chief's mother. The truth didn't need to be known by too many people. Qin Jiandan ordered several guards to guard the vehicles and check for suspicious pedestrians.

"Uncle Gear is our benefactor." Looking at Linlin's expression, she was obviously reminiscing about the past.

"Before my brother and I were adopted by our master, we would have starved to death long ago, thanks to the generosity of Uncle Gear who opened a shop nearby and fed us!"

Qin Jiandan thought carefully about Uncle Gear's appearance, and only remembered that he often had engine oil on his face, which made it look gray. Maybe Linlin was prone to having engine oil on her face, so she was like Uncle Gear.

Vale held the two Lingshu maces in his hands and looked at the unfamiliar streets warily:

"Since Uncle Gear is so nice, why doesn't he just adopt you?"

Linlin smiled helplessly: "Uncle Gear's prosthetic store is not very big. He was able to share the extra food with us and outsource some repair work to me. It was already a great favor. I just don't understand why Uncle Gear didn't contact us after he moved..."

There were few intact houses on both sides of the street, and some homeless people built temporary tents with plastic and synthetic fibers. Qin Jiandan and others were too lazy to raise their eyes when they passed by.

A foul smell escaped from the cracks of the metal manhole cover, causing Qin Jiandan and Linlin to hold their breath. Vale, who had a keen sense of smell, almost cried. "Hurry up and find the person, finish your business, and leave." Vale requested, "I really want to share half of my 10-fold sense of smell with you."

"We're here..." Linlin stopped in front of a building that was not much different from the surrounding ruins. Its biggest feature was a metal door.

After years of erosion by acid rain, the door has taken on a dark brown color. The exposed rivets and screw heads add a rough and primitive industrial feel. Above the door hangs a shabby sign, the paint has peeled off, but the words "Gear Prosthetics Shop" are still recognizable.

"Hello! Uncle Gear! You didn't expect it was us!" Linlin happily pressed the doorbell, "I'm Linlin, my brother and I are here to see you!"

No one responded for a long time. Linlin thought that Uncle Gear must be welding or something, so she continued to ring the doorbell and raised the volume of her greeting: "I'm Linlin! Do you remember me..."

Suddenly there was a "bang" from behind the door, followed by the ominous sound of a body falling to the ground. Linlin was startled, and she exchanged glances with her brother.

"Maybe someone is trying to rob!" Qin Jiandan immediately condensed the black ice battle blade, cut the metal door into pieces in a few seconds, and then rushed in first.

Valei protected Linlin behind him, and Linlin also reached her right hand towards the multi-functional belt, which contained emergency self-defense weapons, such as screwdrivers, wire cutters, and hex wrenches.

However, there was no sign of the robber inside. Qin Jiandan looked left and right, and only saw a fat old man with a white beard lying on the ground. There was engine oil on his face, like a decadent version of Santa Claus who had just finished burning the boiler - blood was gushing out near his temple, and the murder weapon was a gun held in his own hand.

"Isn't this Uncle Gear?" Linlin walked up to him, her face looking grim. "Why did Uncle Gear commit suicide?"

Qin Jiandan quickly looked around and saw no hidden dangers, only discarded parts and tools all over the floor. The ceiling was very low, and like the floor and walls, it was made of recycled scrap metal. Next to the workbench with only a few lights, some dilapidated prostheses were being repaired and displayed.

As a police officer and an outsider, Vale quickly made a judgment:

"Uncle Gear was probably scared to death by you, Linlin. He didn't contact you for so many years because he might have done something to let you down. Now that Qin Jiandan, the young master of the Night Dragon Society, has come to visit him in person, he was afraid of being tortured by you, so he had no choice but to commit suicide."

"Eh?" Linlin opened her mouth wide. "This shouldn't be like this! Why is Uncle Gear so depressed?!"

Qin Jiandan called out to the guards on the street and asked them to carry Uncle Gear to the nearest regeneration chamber to save his life. Then, Qin Jiandan protected Linlin and came to the workbench.

Linlin groped the bottom of the workbench and finally found a special protrusion. After pressing it, the workbench made a humming sound of metal friction, and three computer screens and keyboards rose from their hiding places.

"Uncle Gear still has this habit of hiding things... The password might have been used before. I want to see if Uncle Gear has the Dark Breach Network data we need. Maybe I can even find out why Uncle Gear committed suicide!"

Sitting on Uncle Gear's swivel stool, after trying several times, Linlin guessed the computer password correctly.

Data flowed quickly on the computer screen, and the girl's eyes followed closely, as if she wanted to absorb all the secrets into her black eyes. The lights in the store were dim, and only the computer screen and Linlin's eyes were shining in the darkness.

Linlin's dazzling kung fu suit extends from shoulders to legs, and the color gradually changes from light pink to dark red. This dress has the function of blocking drone thermal imaging and reflects dazzling colors under the light.

Linlin's fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard. She was skilled in her movements and each keystroke was accurate. Her brows were slightly furrowed and her lips were tightly pursed, as if she was mumbling something silently, perhaps memorizing data or thinking about how to crack the password.

The blood belonging to Uncle Gear on the ground had not yet dried, and the entire space was filled with an atmosphere of tension and expectation.

Finally, Linlin slammed the Enter key and shouted, "I found it!"

Qin Jiandan and Walei, two outsiders, could no longer wait, and they came over together, wanting to hear Linlin explain the data on the computer.

"Hehehe, I told you that Linlin is awesome..." Linlin turned around with the help of the swivel chair under her butt, wanting to brag to her brother. However, when she saw the bloodstains on the ground, her mood dropped again.

"I don't know if Uncle Gear can be saved... Anyway, I found the message from the Sheriff's mother. It's just a short message, which says "The door is closed, and the oppression is eternal." "
