It's unbelievable that two of Penguin Logistics' top sales representatives would turn against each other over a man, even to the point of stabbing each other in the back.
But what does this have to do with her, a bread seller?
The Doctor is indeed a rare high-quality employer. He is generous and considerate to his subordinates, and speaks very kindly. She loves working at Rhodes Island, but she is not like Exusiai and Texas, who even sacrificed themselves and almost turned Penguin Logistics into their own Crystal Palace.
Yeah, at least you'll have to pay more.
If the Doctor were willing to spend a million or so LMD, she wouldn't mind making the situation even more chaotic, since it seemed like the Doctor would be at a disadvantage no matter how you looked at it.
"Croissant, lend me your car keys and phone!" Taking advantage of Croissant's distraction, Exusiai rummaged through her clothes, pulled out what she wanted, and rushed out the door.
She and the bread man were on the same page.
Given the swift and decisive actions of those two wolves, the Doctor would probably be completely naked and washed by now. If she had acted any later... she would have already seen little Texas and little Lappland calling her "Auntie."
"Hey, Platinum? It's me. Are you still searching for the Doctor in Lungmen City? Yes, Texas and Lappland know his location and have already come looking for him! Hurry, or it'll be too late!"
“Miss Melantha, something terrible has happened. The Doctor is being cornered in XX neighborhood by Lappland and Texas. Could you do something to mobilize your connections and go check on the situation there? At least make sure they don’t have time to make a move.”
"Blue Poison, quickly prepare all your potions. Yes, preferably the kind that can paralyze an orca. The doctor's situation is dire. Whether we can save him depends on how fast we are..."
Knowing that she could hardly deal with the duo of wolves on her own, Exusiai made a bold decision and called all the girls who had any connection with Qin Duanyu. The seemingly quiet Lungmen suddenly became a hotbed of undercurrents.
Exusiai, who had her foot firmly on the gas, didn't notice that a strange man wearing a hood was sitting in a taxi that passed by her.
……
"PhD!?"
A few minutes later, Qin Duanyu, who was near the safe house, used telepathy to contact the only left-behind child, Kesong, and asked her to open the door. She walked into the house while the child looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Where's Exusiai?" Qin Duanyu asked with some doubt after confirming that there was no one else in the room.
"She... stole my phone and car keys, saying she was going to rescue you from your old place. She just left a few minutes ago. Did you two just happen to miss each other?" Croissant's lips twitched, and she answered somewhat blankly.
What?
The apple pie that was almost in his mouth just flew away like that? After hearing Croissant's words, Qin Duanyu was a little stunned. After thinking carefully, she remembered that there did seem to be a car with the Penguin Logistics logo passing by on the way to the safe house.
He quickly took out his phone and sent a text message to Exusiai: "Exusiai, this is Doctor. I've escaped. Hurry back to the safe house and meet up with me!"
Exusiai dodged the obstacles in her path while glancing at her phone. Her expression softened for a moment before turning sharp again: "Lappland, don't try to fool me! I'm warning you, don't even think about doing anything strange to the Doctor. The other sisters are on their way!"
Just now, Lappland tricked the Doctor into giving her address in front of Exusiai. Now that so much time has passed, the Doctor is definitely under their control, so it's normal for them to have the Doctor's phone.
That cunning guy is definitely trying to use the same trick again, sending me a message on the PhD student's phone to lure me back. If I actually fall for it and obediently return, I'm afraid I'll have to help them take care of their children next year!
Exusiai was quite pleased with her flash of inspiration. Sure enough, spending so much time with the Doctor had given her a significant boost in intelligence.
As her phone vibrated again, several messages came in quick succession from a contact identified as a "doctor." Before she could even read them carefully, another call came in. Frustrated, she simply blocked the messages and focused all her attention on rushing to her destination to "rescue" the person.
"Doctor, how is it?" Croissant made a cup of tea and handed it to Qin Duanyu, asking curiously.
"It's all over!" As soon as Qin Duanyu saw the phrase "other sisters," he knew that Exusiai had excitedly notified everyone. It was probably impossible to go back to that house. With the fighting power of those girls, he would probably have to pay Wei Yanwu a large sum of money for house repairs.
Ah Neng, you idiot!
Section 246, Chapter Sixty: An Unknown and Powerful Enemy?
The next morning, in front of the Guard Bureau office building, there were still more than ten minutes before work.
Chen stood at the door with her arms crossed, her face serious and her eyes sharp. Any of the guards who caught her gaze shrank back and quickened their pace, fearing a friendly greeting from this virtuous and capable superintendent.
"Oh my god, is Inspector Chan planning to crack down on misconduct again? I don't want to find out which scoundrel messed with her, or he'll get us killed!" A police officer breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing fear.
When Chan was first promoted to superintendent of the Inspectorate, he put a lot of effort into cleaning up the bad practices of the Guard Bureau, including cracking down on tardiness and early departures, which caused everyone to complain bitterly.
However, that was two or three years ago. After personally dealing with a few lazy old hands, the entire Guard Bureau team was completely transformed, and it had been a long time since we had seen her like this.
This situation reminded him of the fear of being dominated by the foul language and scabbards of Lungmen, and he guessed that the new police officer did not know the rules, which led Chen to prepare to bring out the old ways again.
"That's not necessarily true. Do you remember a few months ago? Inspector Chen was right there at the door, personally leading that person in." A bespectacled office worker said with a grin. "We just received a notice yesterday afternoon that that person will be staying at the Guard Bureau for another week and is supposed to report for duty this morning."
"Oh, you mean the Doctor from Rhodes Island? That explains it... Speaking of which, I even bet 1,000 LMD that Inspector Chen would win. I wonder what the final result will be." The officer suddenly realized, a strange smile appearing on his lips.
In those tabloid gossip stories, the doctor was portrayed as a god, with female bodyguards surnamed Neng and De, and female subordinates surnamed Lan and Bai, making him seem like the ruler of a crystal palace.
Based on his basic professional ethics as a police officer, he simply did not believe it. He thought it was just some unscrupulous media making things up for the sake of sales. How could anyone manage to date so many girls without getting dumped?
However, the policewoman surnamed Chen and the young lady surnamed Shi mentioned in the article were both observed by the Imperial Guards not long ago. The two superintendents were almost undisguised in their jealousy and rivalry, which makes one admire the doctor's ability to switch sides.
If it were that master of the Dragon-Subduing and Tiger-Taming Kung Fu who was coming, it wouldn't be surprising for Inspector Chen to be waiting eagerly outside.
On the other side, Chen ignored her subordinates' whispers. Although she appeared to be no different from usual, the way she tightly gripped her arms and the way her tail wagged occasionally revealed her inner anxiety.
Finally, just as the clock was about to strike nine, a guy in a hooded jacket suddenly popped out from some corner.
"Hey, Inspector Chen, are you going to catch me late again?" Qin Duanyu glanced at the clock tower not far away, secretly relieved, and said to Chen with a smile.
Perfect, and on point again.
Although they had spent one night together, going through a full range of hugs, kisses, and even he had sent flowers the next day, he felt that given Chen's awkward personality, she might express her feelings in some way, such as catching him late for work and scolding him... Now it seems that this was indeed the case.
Fortunately, he found an alarm clock in the safe house that hadn't been damaged by Exusiai, and finally arrived at the Guard Bureau before officially starting work.
To his surprise, the other person not only didn't argue back, but instead rushed over and started groping him.
ha?
Am I dreaming? Chen Sir is hugging and kissing me like crazy this early in the morning?!
Qin Duanyu was stunned and stood there, letting her do as she pleased.
"You weren't injured in yesterday's attack, were you?" Chen quickly realized his lapse in composure, withdrew his hand, and said somewhat insincerely, "Don't overthink it. I didn't mean to worry about you, it's just that if you died in Lungmen, it would make the Guard Bureau look incompetent!"
"An attack?" Qin Duanyu was already used to the girl's hypocritical behavior, but her mention of an attack was still a bit puzzling.
Perhaps under the protection of some strategic mastermind surnamed Sun, he slept soundly in the safe house of Penguin Logistics, with only harmless bread people around him. It can be said that he survived the crisis without any real danger.
“Around 8 p.m. last night, your residence was attacked by an unknown force, and several Rhodes Island operators who were secretly protecting you were injured!” Seeing Qin Duanyu’s bewildered look, Chen also frowned and took out a scene investigation report.
"Oh, I went to talk to the owner of Penguin Logistics yesterday, so I wasn't home." Qin Duanyu glanced at him and immediately realized what was going on, scratching the back of his head as he replied perfunctorily, "Unfortunately, the Emperor was too busy and I couldn't get in touch with him, so I ended up spending the night at their place late at night."
Looks like these girls are fighting pretty hard.
The report clearly stated in black and white: the house Lao Wei borrowed was mostly destroyed, Melantha's dress was ripped in several places, Platinum's hair was blackened by flames, a small patch of Lappland's tail was ripped off, Texas's Pocky was shattered by gunfire, Exusiai was exhausted and needed to eat a lot to recover, and Miss Skyfire suffered a backlash at the crucial moment of casting a spell...
In addition, several girls suffered from mild poisoning. Fortunately, Miss Blue Poison, who was stunned by the unknown Originium Arts, woke up when the police arrived and distributed antidotes to everyone, thus resolving the crisis.
"Doctor, do you think this attack is related to the Reunion Movement?" Chen asked with some concern.
The injured Rhodes Island operators were all elites, yet even they couldn't clearly describe the attacker's appearance, and their testimonies didn't match up. If these operators weren't all the Doctor's confidants and hadn't proven their loyalty in previous battles, Chen would have even suspected them of being traitors, deliberately attacking each other to provide false intelligence to the Guard Bureau.
But on the other hand, what kind of terrifying existence would be able to manipulate these operators so easily, without even knowing what their opponents look like?
"I'm not too sure about that either. I have amnesia, so I really can't remember offending anyone in the past," Qin Duanyu said, pretending to think for a while before answering with difficulty.
Should we just tell Inspector Chan that the girls fought because of him? Putting aside the fact that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, I'm afraid that once Officer Long finds out the truth, the first thing he'll do is kill this scumbag playboy.
"Could it be W from the Reunion Movement?"
After much thought, Chen remembered one person: during the battle to catch Shattered Bones, that Sarkaz mercenary, skilled in scheming, had caused them considerable trouble. If this guy really had his eye on the Doctor, and was accompanied by several powerful Sarkaz as helpers…
As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion, and Chen completely forgot the scene of Qin Duanyu tearing the enemy apart that night.
"Maybe, anyway, we can't live in that house anymore. I wonder how much we'll have to compensate Lao Wei." Qin Duanyu shrugged and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm lucky, I won't die."
"You still have the mind to joke? No, you must be under the close protection of the Guard Bureau for the time being." Chen thought for a moment and said with some difficulty, "But in order to guard against the Reunion Movement, the Guard Bureau is already short-handed, and it is difficult for ordinary police officers to guarantee your safety..."
Suddenly, a bold idea popped into her head.
"Starting today, you'll be living in my house!"
Yes, it's a top-secret operation, the kind that even Hoshiguma won't tell. This way, we can avoid gossip—I mean, leaks—and also protect the Doctor 24/7.
Reasonable.
Chapter 61, Section 247: The Doctor Stays Tonight
As soon as Qin Duanyu opened the office door, she was warmly welcomed by the inspection team.
"Doctor, it's been a long time!"
"Good morning!"
"Master, the method you taught me last time was really effective. That rich woman was completely subdued. Teach me a little more, like how to get her to put my name on her will... umm..."
Ferdinand and Joel put down their documents and nodded to Qin Duanyu. Machider rushed over and eagerly offered him the desserts she had prepared, but before she could finish speaking, she was silenced with a kiss.
The once lifeless and dull office of the inspection team, which only became lively when there was fierce competition, suddenly became bustling. Even Joel, who always had a sour face, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Machider clinging to Qin Duanyu's leg.
"Alright, don't cause trouble for the Doctor. You don't want to be scolded by Inspector Chen if you can't complete the mission on time, do you?" Hoshiguma walked over and stopped everyone, grabbing Machider and throwing her out.
"Star Sir, is the new motorcycle any good?" Qin Duanyu breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile.
"It's fantastic, no doubt about it! The ones I used to ride were absolute garbage!" Hoshiguma nodded gratefully, then looked behind him with a puzzled expression. "Where's Chen? She was waiting for you outside this morning. Did you upset her again?"
It seems that Hoshiguma is unaware that his residence has been destroyed, and thinks it's due to Old Chen's eccentric personality, or that he had some conflict with the Doctor when they met that morning.
Although it's said that scolding is a sign of affection, and Old Chen and the PhD might even enjoy it, there's still a cat watching nearby. If she takes advantage of the situation, where will Old Chen go to cry? They have to resolve the conflict as soon as possible.
For example, telling the PhD student about Old Chen's hobbies could not only help warm up their relationship, but also give him the opportunity to get some coupons from him.
"Oh, she had some official business to attend to, so she asked me to come over first," Qin Duanyu replied casually.
Upon hearing Chen's suggestion, he agreed without hesitation.
Although something felt off, given the underwear theft and the sliding tackle incident the night before last, living with Chen seemed dangerous no matter how you looked at it, the house provided by Lao Wei had been destroyed, and the girls on the island had gotten into a fight because of him. If it weren't for Bo's terrifying methods, appearing in front of them right now would be the most foolish choice.
Chen's protection plan to deal with the "unknown enemy" was exactly what Qin Duanyu needed. While the shrewd girls like Lappland and Platinum could be tricked into revealing information, the police officer Long, once he got into work mode, was not so easy to fool.
Once he gets through these crucial few days, the suppression mode will be off cooldown. With enough confidence to ensure his safety, Qin Duanyu can then calmly handle the girls' problems and say goodbye to the days of hiding and living in fear.
If Chen Zhen had done anything rash before this, his sliding tackle skill wouldn't have been useless. If all else failed, he could have half-heartedly given in to her. Anyway, it's hard to say who suffered more, and Qin Duanyu even managed to save her life.
Thinking about it, I'm actually a little excited.
……
"Where was that comic book from last time?" After greeting Xiao Ma and the others, Qin Duanyu returned to her familiar workstation, fumbled around on the desk for a while, and then pulled out a comic book from a hidden compartment in the drawer.
