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

Chapter 544 [193] Biscuits, Beer and Secrets

"Forget about blind dates. I'm talking about general social activities."

Qin Jiandan leaned back on the sofa in the audio-visual room. He pressed the remote control he found under his butt, and the projector immediately started playing "Zootopia", starting from the middle according to his memory.

"Eh? So Mu Yue, you secretly watch cartoons to relieve stress? The protagonist of this cartoon is also a criminal policeman, with a similar identity to you, so you watch it over and over again, causing it to be the most popular..."

"It's not me!" Mu Yue denied immediately, "It's a maid's daughter who likes to watch it. She sometimes comes to visit my house!"

Mu Yue's family are relatively approachable and get along very well with the housekeeper and maid, unlike other nobles who have a clear distinction between master and servant.

Qin Jiandan nodded: "Whenever the little girl comes over, can you legitimately come over to watch the cartoons with her under the pretext of "accompanying the child"?"

"I don't have that much free time! Please don't just add the attribute of loving to watch anime to me!"

After having a fever, Mu Yue's eyes became even brighter. She was easily agitated. It should be because the side effects of the medicine had not completely disappeared, and Qin Jiandan witnessed the shameful scene.

At this time, the older maid who had played chess with Mu Yue knocked on the door and came in to bring some snacks. The rabbit headband she was still wearing on her head made Mu Yue dare not look directly at her.

The refreshments included Mu Yue’s favorite lemon soda and some delicious handmade cookies.

Mu Yue drank the lemon soda at a speed that could only be described as a guzzle. However, because she had just recovered from her illness, she did not blow from the bottle, but used the straw provided by the maid. While drinking the soda, her eyes did not leave the cartoon plot on the screen.

Well, even if Mu Yue doesn't have much free time, she's not the type who hates cartoons. I see she particularly likes cartoons with animals as the main characters.

Qin Jiandan picked up the baked biscuits and ate two of them. They tasted very mellow.

"Do you usually bake these cookies yourself? I really want to eat the cookies baked by my wife."

Mu Yue looked over with a very strange look.

"This is a semi-finished product bought from the supermarket and baked by the maid. Why do you think I would bake cookies for you? I can neither make pastries nor cook."

"Eh?" Qin Jiandan seemed to have discovered a new world, "You can't cook?"

"I have a busy official career and have been doing physical and combat training since I was very young - why should a woman have to know how to cook?"

Qin Jiandan stuffed a few cookies on herself awkwardly: "It's just that your face looks... more like a good wife and mother."

Mu Yue snorted long and put her left leg over her right knee.

"I was hoping you could cook! You would definitely say that the Young Master of the Night Dragon Society is a very busy man and can't cook at all!"

"Eh? You asked me the right question." Qin Jiandan was delighted. "I can cook. When Linlin and I were homeless, I once made a deep-fried caterpillar meal. I'll let you taste my cooking skills when I have the chance!"

"Can mutant caterpillars be eaten?"

"Remove the three glands in the middle and the toxicity will be greatly reduced." Qin Jiandan generously shared his survival experience, "Linlin used to like eating caterpillars, but later on, for some reason, she got angry when I brought them to her again."

"Nonsense! I would be angry too if I were in your shoes! There's no need to reminisce about the good old days!"

The older (rabbit-eared) maid was very tactful and prepared a can of beer for Qin Jiandan. Qin Jiandan opened it to quench his thirst and paired it with biscuits.

Mu Yue held the soda bottle and looked at the beer in Qin Jiandan's hand with hostility.

"My dad is drunk every day, can't you just not drink beer?"

Qin Jiandan raised his beer, as if to toast his father-in-law who was at the Yelonghui headquarters.

"I promised Linlin that I would only drink one cup a day unless it was necessary for official business. This is very little."

Seeing that the temperature monitoring patch on Mu Yue's collarbone had dropped to 36 degrees, Qin Jiandan felt relieved and couldn't help but say good things about Beer.

"I have a back injury. Doctor Li said that drinking beer can relieve pain better than taking painkillers or applying pain-relieving patches. As long as the alcohol content in the blood is raised to above 0.08%, the human body's pain threshold will increase significantly. Some people use this trick to fight chronic pain such as arthritis by drinking alcohol for a long time!"

Mu Yue immediately discovered the fallacy in Qin Jiandan's words.

"To get the blood alcohol content to 0.08%, wouldn't it mean drinking at least 6 bottles of beer? Are we ignoring the long-term adverse effects of alcohol on our health just for a little pain tolerance?"

Qin Jiandan was still stubborn: "But many people around me said that drinking until you black out can make you immune to all pain!"

"That's just postponing the pain until the next morning! You're not allowed to drink any more after this can!"

"If you give me a kiss, I won't even drink the remaining half can."

"No! What if I catch a cold?" "Nestor said it's not a viral cold... My wife doesn't want to kiss me, and I'm so sad that I have to drink to drown my sorrows..."

Next, Qin Jiandan drank the beer very slowly and coyly, constantly showing his right cheek, hoping that Mu Yue would be unable to resist kissing him, but unfortunately he failed.

"... Let's continue with the previous topic. Do you think the Night Dragon Club and the Han family should hold a social event?"

"It doesn't have to be someone with the last name Han. It can also be someone from your police force, students at the training center, or someone with connections to the Police Department."

"What kind of social activities are they?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but we should let them get to know each other. Police officers don't always wear police uniforms, especially when they come to the outer city. When members of the Night Dragon Society come to the inner city, they will take off the dragon emblem on their chests to hide their identities. If they run into each other and don't recognize each other's identities, how embarrassing would it be if the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple?"

Mu Yue held the empty soda bottle in both hands.

"That seems to make sense. I'll go to the police department and ask what kind of social activities everyone is interested in."

At this time, a phone rang outside, and soon after, a rabbit-eared maid came in carrying a tray (on the tray was a landline phone with a very long line) - this was an embarrassing situation caused by the lack of mobile phones in Ringstone City.

The receiver had been picked up, and it was obviously not handed to Mu Yue but to Qin Jiandan. Qin Jiandan held it in confusion.

"Hey?"

"Brother, it's me! You are indeed at my sister-in-law's house... I have something to report to you. Is the area safe?"

Qin Jiandan glanced at the maid, and the maid tactfully placed the tray and phone on the sofa and left.

After confirming that there were no outsiders, Linlin continued, "I have just decoded part of the intelligence room data that my brother gave me. Some of the information is the latest archived information, which may be the main reason for Scar Sister's death..."

Qin Jiandan became interested: "What kind of information is it? Is it related to the Ni'an Society, the Night Dragon Society, or the company?"

"It has nothing to do with anything. Instead, it's related to my sister-in-law's cousin and the kidnapping of Han Shiyu when she was a child..."

"Eh? Tell me more about it."

Linlin explained the information she had decoded in a clear and logical manner.

According to the data from Scar Sister's intelligence house, Han Shiyu was kidnapped when she was 6 years old and her hands and feet were brutally cut off. The criminal is most likely the bounty hunter "Thousand Man Killer" Zwick who had fought with Qin Jiandan and Mu Yue.

The image of this man appeared in Qin Jiandan and Mu Yue's minds. Zwick had a typical Western face, a half-wolf-tail samurai hairstyle, and wore clothes that were a fusion of Western cowboys and Eastern knights. He liked to hold a toothpick in his mouth and had an electronic samurai sword with a thick scabbard on his waist.

Zwick was working as a bodyguard for the Collector together with the "Quenching Monk" at the time, posing a great threat to Mu Yue. Finally, with the assistance of Qin Jiandan, he was completely eliminated by Mu Yue using "Moonlight Justice".

"Is it so easy to solve the case?" Qin Jiandan asked, "Zwick has the ability of "Near-Death Soul Transfer", which allows him to transfer his soul to someone else when he dies. When he kidnapped Han Shiyu, he used another body, so he escaped the police department's years of hunting?"

Mu Yue was indignant: "This bad guy killed a beast girl and also killed my pet hamster C!"

Linlin said on the other end of the phone: "I don't think it's that simple. If Zwick is the only criminal, why was Scar Sister killed? I'm afraid Zwick is just one of the criminals who kidnapped Han Shiyu, or there are deeper secrets that need to be hidden."

Mu Yue became a little depressed. She clasped her hands on her knees and shook the empty soda bottle in her hand clockwise.

"Zwick is just a bounty hunter who does things for money. The murder of Scar Sister from the Intelligence House may be...maybe the mastermind behind this is another scum of the Han family like the Collector."

Qin Jiandan always kept the receiver between himself and Mu Yue, ensuring that his wife could hear it even without turning on the speaker.

"That makes sense. Birds of a feather flock together. Han Yuan, who played "Sense Sharing" before, knew many people who were like him. It's not surprising that a collector who likes hands would know a scumbag who likes both hands and feet. Mu Yue, don't blame yourself too much. The person who ordered Zwick to kidnap Han Shiyu may not be named Han. He may also be a bad seed from the Ding family or the Luo family."

Mu Yue sighed: "Don't tell Shiyu about this news yet, lest she act on her own and cause unpredictable consequences."

"She has a bad temper. We really shouldn't tell her about it before we understand everything." Qin Jiandan nodded. "Linlin, continue decoding and check all the information in the intelligence room to see if there is anything new."

"I know~" Linlin agreed, "If this continues, I'll become the second generation of the intelligence house!"

After hanging up the phone, Mu Yue suddenly asked, "Did he drink the bottle of red wine you were going to give to my father as a Christmas gift?"

"Eh? I gave it to the pizza shop, and then Vale blurted it out, so your dad chased after him and drank it at the pizza shop! This has nothing to do with me! And how did you know?"

Mu Yue lifted her long hair that was scattered around her neck and shoulders: "Cuihua told me."

"Oh my god! It turns out it's not just me, Zhu Shengzhi and Valei. Cuihua has also become your informant? She has become a spy for all four parties!"
