Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 54 Making Bird Friends
Xie Jing frowned and signaled that they could take Qin Chen away.

"What a noise." He said coldly.

Afterwards, the two policemen pretended not to smell anything, as they smelled a scent that even the most picky police dog brothers in the police station couldn't help but wrinkle their noses and shake their heads.

They looked righteous and took him away.

It was not until he was escorted onto the "luxury sightseeing car" with flashing red and blue police lights and the back door of the car slammed shut that Qin Chen realized that he had really been arrested.

He sneered indifferently, showing contempt for the current situation.

"Just two small policemen, they are really frogs in a well, ignorant of the immensity of the world! They actually dared to arrest the young master of the Qin family. This is undoubtedly the stupidest decision they have made in their careers."

He then went on to boast, "Just wait! Within three days, my lawyers will flood in like a tide, tearing down the doorstep of your workplace. Then, you'll understand the meaning of the word 'regret'."

He had even anticipated that he would walk out of the police station door with a swagger, followed by a team of lawyers in suits and ties holding legal scriptures to turn the tide.

It’s a pity that reality is not a movie, there are not so many reversals and counterattacks.

Qin Chen still had to sit obediently in the back seat of the police car, his hands handcuffed tightly, like a "bad king crab".

After Qin Chen was taken away by the police, the scene fell into silence for a while. It was so quiet that you could hear the echo of a pin drop. It was so awkward, like a lost balloon, floating in the air, unable to find its way.

Yun Ximo, adhering to the principle that "being low-key is the best way to show off", was preparing to quietly retreat back upstairs.

But who would have thought that fate was determined to make things difficult for her today and had to add some drama to her life.

Just as Yun Ximo was rubbing oil on her feet.

Xie Jing immediately spotted the "little fox trying to escape." His smile curled up, as light as water, but it was enough to make Yun Ximo's inner drum beat "boom, boom, boom," and she began to retreat. "Miss Yun, we meet again."

Yun Ximo's heart comrade directly announced: "I'm on strike! This stimulation is too much, I can't bear it!"

"Oh, heaven and earth, are you two conspiring to make fun of me? You're driving me down the path of 'end-stage embarrassment cancer'!"

But there's no way, the show has already started, we can't just go on strike suddenly, right?

So, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and stop to face the person she least wanted to see at the moment.

Yun Ximo felt helpless and irritated, her head was buzzing, and she answered very reluctantly.

"Mad, can't you just treat me like air, or an insignificant cloud that just floats by?"

But I had to maintain a polite yet awkward smile on my face, while the villain in my heart was waving frantically: "Why don't you leave? Why don't you leave? Your presence is too strong, do you have to say hello at this time?"

But when the words came to his lips, they could only turn into a forced smile and a simple "Oh, it's Captain Xie."

Seeing this, Yun Ling's curiosity was piqued. His eyes darted between Xie Jing and Yun Ximo, a look of "Tell me! Tell me!" written all over his face. With a hint of gossip mixed in with his suspicion, he asked, "Momo, how do you know Xie Jing? How come I didn't hear anything about it?"

Yun Ximo looked at Yun Ling with curiosity on her face, "..."

Uncle, what are you talking about? I just want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Yun Ximo felt helpless and irritated, and she answered very reluctantly.

"Mad, can't you just treat me like air, or an insignificant cloud that just floats by?"

But he had to maintain a polite yet awkward smile on his face, while the villain in his heart was waving frantically: "Why don't you leave? Why don't you leave? Why do you have to say hello at this time?" But when the words came to his lips, they could only turn into a forced smile and a simple "Oh, it's Captain Xie."

Seeing this, Yun Ling's curiosity was completely piqued. He looked at Yun Ximo in confusion and asked, "Momo, how do you know Xie Jing? Why have I never heard you mention him before?"

Her brain was working so fast, like a computer running countless programs at the same time, it was about to crash and turned into a "whimpering signal for help."

Let me tell you, that time when I was mistakenly identified as a suspect and was questioned in an interrogation room, it really reshaped my worldview. It was not a glorious experience.

It makes me sad just thinking about it; if I don’t say it, this sudden “acquaintance” is harder to explain than proving that my mother is my mother.

If only I could transform into Super Mario and escape by jumping down a water pipe. But reality was harsh, and Yun Ximo could only bite the bullet and force out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Well, well, Captain Xie, it's just... well, we had the good fortune of running into each other at the police station last time, so it's like we didn't know each other until we fought."

As Yun Ximo spoke, she used her eyes to hint at Xie Jing frantically, hoping that he could understand her "difficulties".

Xie Jing, on the other hand, was also a man of good sense. He had a meaningful smile on his face, a hint of amusement and tacit understanding hidden in his smile: "Yes, Miss Yun is our 'lucky star'. She has brought us many clues."

Yun Ling was confused by what he heard, but nodded with an "I understand" expression on his face, thinking: "These days, the ways of making friends are really becoming more and more unique."

He turned to look at Xie Jing again, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes: "Captain Xie, hearing you say that, I really didn't expect that my Momo has such a skill."

Xie Jing responded seriously, "No, no, Miss Yun has great insight. She has made a real difference in our investigation. Our entire police force is deeply grateful to her!"

Yun Ximo: "...": Captain Xie, are you reciting a tongue twister? Can't you be simple and straightforward, like saying 'Thank you, Yun Ximo, and goodbye'? You have to add drama to my story. Aren't you tired? So, Yun Ximo decided to take the stage herself and speed up the "topic terminator": "Haha, Captain Xie, you are too kind. I just happened to help out by chance. Captain Xie, I also know that you are very busy, so we won't bother you any more. Go and do your thing. The people need you!"

After saying that, she deliberately gave Xie Jing a look that said "you know what I mean", implying to him: Retreat quickly!

Xie Jing received this "code" and felt both amused and helpless, but he still had to maintain a professional smile on his face: "Miss Yun, you are too polite. I will withdraw from here first. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything."

After hearing this, Yun Ling smiled from ear to ear, his face full of satisfaction as if his daughter had grown up. "Momo, remember, from now on, we should avoid getting involved in dangerous situations like this if we can. Safety first, don't rush in alone, okay?"

Yun Ximo: “…”

Uncle, thanks to my quick eloquence, I was able to swallow all those thrilling things down. They were all locked tightly in my stomach.

Otherwise, with your weak heart, you will probably have to take a spontaneous one-day trip to the ICU.

The key point is, we don’t have any heart-saving pills prepared at home!

As she walked towards the room in small steps, she muttered, "Since this little sparrow can call a woodpecker, will it be able to invite an eagle next time?"

After returning to the room, she turned again and headed straight for the balcony.

As a result, he almost laughed out loud at the scene in front of him - the little sparrow had a smug look on its face, basking in the sun leisurely, and its expression made it look like a "big boss in the sparrow world".

Yun Ximo teased, "Oh, isn't this our Great Sparrow Hero? You can't judge a bird by its cover, and you can't measure the depth of the ocean by its depth. It turns out you have a strong backer like Big Brother Woodpecker standing behind you! I have to quickly cling to him so I can walk sideways when I go out."

When the little sparrow heard this, it flapped its wings and said proudly, "Humph, I'm a social butterfly among sparrows. I have friends all over the world. If I need anything from now on, I can just ask a word!"

Yun Ximo reached out and touched the clever little ghost, then turned around to rummage through her supermarket shopping bag.

She took out a bag of nuts and poured them onto the ground. The sound of the nuts falling to the ground was like the music of nature to the little sparrow.

Seeing this, the little sparrow said nothing and started working hard, becoming the "Eating King of the Bird World".

Yun Ximo stared at the little sparrow's chubby belly, which was like a constantly rising and falling balloon. Her hands itched so much that she couldn't help but chuckle. She reached out and touched it, jokingly saying, "You little fellow, you look tiny on the outside, but it turns out you have a bottomless pit in your belly! You're no bigger than my palm, but your appetite can hold a whole granary. Be careful not to get as fat as a ball and become unable to flap your wings, turning into a 'free-range chicken'!"

The little sparrow was not happy to hear this. It felt deeply insulted and immediately chirped, "Who said that! Who said that! I'm storing up energy, don't you understand? I can still fight for another three hundred rounds. No, three thousand rounds is no problem!"

After saying that, it flapped its wings, then turned around gorgeously and landed steadily on Yun Ximo's shoulder.

After it stood still, it flapped its wings in a pretentious manner and said seriously: "You are such an interesting human, I can hardly find you even with a lantern. We must be friends. It would be unreasonable not to be friends, right?"

Yun Ximo smiled brightly. She stretched out her delicate hand and flicked the little sparrow's furry head. With an expression of "finding a treasure", she said, "Deal! It seems not bad to have a funny bird like you as a friend!"

After saying that, she couldn't help but land on the little sparrow's round, bulging belly, with a playful smile on her lips. "But, having said that, your little belly looks like a bottomless pit. Can you really stuff anything else in there? Don't eat so much that you can't even fly, and turn into my 'mobile pendant'. I'll have to carry you around the streets every day!"

The moment the little sparrow heard the word "eat," it immediately perked up, its little chest puffing out higher than anyone else's: "Eat? That's my life motto! Birds live for the simple sake of eating and drinking! Eat well, and you can fly high. Eat delicious food, and fly fast. Got it?"

After saying this, it tilted its clever little head, and looked around with its eyes rolling around, fearing that someone would dare to jump out and question its foodie philosophy.

The little sparrow patted its round belly and hopped to Yun Ximo's feet. It raised its furry little head and chirped to Yun Ximo: "Momo, I'm going to fly away first."

Yun Ximo: "..." This little guy, who has no limits in being cute, runs away after eating. He really knows how to enjoy life!

She squatted down, poked the sparrow's fluffy chest, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you clever little bean, take it easy when you fly, don't really think of yourself as a rocket, safety first, fly slowly and you won't fall~"

The little sparrow chirped twice and said, "Come and eat for free next time~"

Then, it flapped its wings and leaped. Although its posture was a bit clumsy, it managed to successfully take off into the air.

At this moment, Luo Luo suddenly jumped out, her voice tinged with malicious gossip: [Momo, Momo, are you still alive? Didn't Madam Qin's Eighteen Bronze Men (oops, wrong, it should be the bodyguard brigade) pack you up and send you back to the parts assembly factory as a courier?]

Yun Ximo: “???” Suddenly, she felt a flock of crows flying overhead.

He started to complain: "Lolo, how long has it been since you updated your creative library? Can't you just change your lines?"

Even though he said this, his tone was still filled with helplessness: "Tell me, is there a grudge between us from a past life or a feud in this life? You're giving me this 'hospice care' show as soon as you show up?"

Luo Luo, with an innocent look on his face, nodded seriously: [Us? Hatred? Not happening! We're comrades-in-arms!]

Then, it changed the subject, with an air of "I'm doing this for your own good": [Besides, we're all friends. Of course I hope you live longer than a cockroach! But, this is also out of humanitarian concern. If something unexpected happens to you, my system will have to retire early. How pitiful!]

After saying that, he pretended to wipe away two non-existent tears.

Yun Ximo sighed softly, "Your opening remarks and your way of expressing worry are truly unique. You've already arranged a scenario where I'm missing an arm or a leg. Am I, Yun Ximo, so vulnerable in your eyes?"

Luo Luo smiled awkwardly but politely: "I'm just worried about you. After all, our opponent is not a pushover. I'm afraid you might get killed if you're not careful. What should I do then?"

Yun Ximo took a sip of water and sighed softly, "Lolo, your opening line, your level of worry, is truly unique. It gave me the illusion of the 'Venus de Milo'. In your high-tech little head, I've become a piece of blue and white porcelain that shatters at the slightest touch. Even the slightest breeze can make me snap, shattering all over the floor like art."

Luo Luo, on the other hand, was trying so hard to stifle a laugh that his facial muscles were practically cramping: [Ahem, I'm just worried you'd run into a tough opponent and get 'plot-killed' the moment you're not paying attention. After all, those villains are tough as nails. I'm afraid you'll be 'harmonied' if you're not paying attention.]
