After I V-brother Zheng 50

They even had the leisure to joke, "You don't seem to be a law enforcement officer, do you?"

"Can't a concerned citizen report you?"

Qin Xi said irritably, "Stop dawdling. Getting in with fake documents is still against the law."

“My mom works at the police station. She’ll go with you now and explain your situation properly. At most, you’ll be detained for half a month. As long as it’s confirmed that you’re not a member of the Restoration Organization, we can also help you get a temporary resident permit for the Jiangnan Base City.”

The girl didn't know why, but she felt that the 'illegal resident' in front of her wasn't a bad person.

then……

"Lu Zheng, you don't want to be hiding all day long, with considerable strength, yet living a nomadic life and constantly being suspected of being a wanted criminal, do you?"

She mentioned it briefly.

"..."

Qin Yu's lips twitched slightly.

This sentence structure has the feel of someone from a restoration organization.

Rush!

Chapter 192 My Sweet Little Girl, But She's a Soft Bud

Perhaps because he had nothing better to do, and considering that the investigation mission in the far east of his home planet Earth had not yet yielded results, and that he would have to wait a while longer anyway, Qin Yu went along with the little girl's wishes and prepared to go with her to the police headquarters in the Jiangnan base city.

In fact, official institutions in this era have become much simpler and more centralized.

Generally, the types of matters that can be handled within the same department have increased significantly, which has largely solved the previous predicament of "going through procedures and running around like crazy".

For example, the police station that Qin Xi is taking Qin Yu to now is not the place where temporary residence permits were issued in the past.

He was quite happy to have some free time regarding these changes.

I'm just treating this as an opportunity to experience life here.

It can only be said that Qin Yu, who now acts in an extremely casual manner, is willing to make slight concessions to anyone he finds agreeable.

Not to mention, Qin Xi's intentions were good.

Because she herself felt very close to Qin Yu.

That's why I'm so concerned about this 'stranger'.

Therefore, they wanted to help him resolve a series of troubles as much as possible.

As for what happens next... what if we accidentally cause some new trouble and delay other important matters?

It doesn't matter, he'll escape.

In any case, Qin Yu is not a person of this country in essence.

He wasn't even a person of this era...or even of this world.

Therefore, they are not obligated to abide by the local laws here.

Not actively doing evil is enough.

So, about ten minutes later...

"arrive."

Led by Qin Xi, Qin Yu arrived in front of a conspicuous building.

The lobby on the first floor of this place was bustling with people.

Looking to the side, you can also see another tall building of similar size, with the words "Martial Arts Hall" written on the door.

Qin Yu had learned about it in the library; it was a gathering place for gene warriors, and its nature was... well, similar to an adventurer's guild in a Western fantasy world.

Many missions involving venturing into the wilderness are posted there.

So it seems...

"It's unbelievable that such an organization would exist within China... Ha~ The impact of that catastrophe was truly immense."

Yes.

In Qin Yu's personal opinion, such a department would not have been possible in China unless the social structure had undergone a radical transformation, akin to "destruction followed by construction."

However, even in this day and age, there is still some constraint from the government.

And it's quite obvious.

Sure enough, the police headquarters is located right next to the martial arts hall, clearly for the purpose of facilitating rapid response to police calls.

Of course, none of these things concern him as an 'outsider'.

at the moment……

"Come with me."

Qin Xi, who was walking in front, was very familiar with the environment of the police headquarters.

It seems like everyone here knows her.

It's obvious they've been here quite a bit.

along the way...

"Xiao Xi, here to pick up Captain Shu from get off work again?"

"It's still early before you get off work, are you trying to slack off again, Uncle Chen?"

"Oh~ you even brought a handsome young man with you, could it be..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Sister Lu, please don't play matchmaker. He's just an ordinary friend I met by chance."

"Oh, I understand, I understand."

……

The little girl was well-liked and answered all the friendly "difficult" questions fluently.

She is not the kind of introverted girl who blushes to the roots of her neck just from a few jokes.

It was in this environment that the two joined hands and journeyed upwards together...

"You said before that your mother works in the police station. Now it seems she's a pretty high-ranking official?"

Qin Yu mentioned it briefly while riding the elevator.

Upon hearing this…

"It was alright. Back then, it was mainly my dad who was capable... Although it's not quite appropriate to say it like that, my mom benefited a lot from him."

Qin Xi then explained, "When Xiangcheng Base City fell, my father's unit completed Operation Sharp Knife despite the locust plague, preventing the affected area from expanding further. After the war, they were awarded the highest honor."

"Unfortunately, the medal will never be delivered to him."

At this point, the little girl pursed her lips, her true feelings unknown.

On Qin Yu's side...

"Would you normally just casually go around shouting about something like this?"

His expression was somewhat strange.

The daughter said her mother's success wasn't entirely due to her own abilities... That's quite a dig at her...

"Of course I wouldn't just say things randomly; I'm not the kind of person who talks big."

Qin Xi protested with a cold snort.

"Oh~~"

Qin Yu responded with a drawn-out tone.

Why did you just tell me directly...? He wisely didn't ask any further questions.

The little girl's lips curled slightly, a silent "you know what's good for you" attitude.

Qin Yu simply shrugged and smiled, not wanting to argue with her further.

Just then, the two arrived at the door of an office on a high floor of the police headquarters.

Clang!

"Mom, today..."

"Whoosh~"

Qin Xi pushed the door open and went in, but before she could even open her mouth, a small object was thrown at her forehead.

Behind them, Qin Yu stood with his hands in his pockets, calmly watching the show.

Qin Xi, however, was used to it and raised her hand to stop the small object.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a gummy candy with its wrapper still intact.

"I've told you so many times, knock before you come in. Don't be so rude, you have no manners at all."

Inside, a rather helpless female voice could be heard.

Upon hearing this…

"Okay~"

Qin Xi exited the way she came, pretended to knock on the door, and then walked back into the office as if nothing had happened.

"Mom, your most polite and well-behaved daughter, Lai Li."

"..."

"..."

At that moment, the mature woman in police uniform inside the room was completely speechless.

Similarly, Qin Yu, who was standing not far behind Qin Xi outside the door, was also in the same situation.

To be honest, he's actually a bit confused right now.

Because, logically speaking, an eighteen-year-old girl, even if she has a very good relationship with her mother and can casually make some harmless jokes with her open-minded mother, would most likely not do this in the presence of outsiders, just like usual.

To put it nicely, this is called being mindful of your own image and that of your elders.

To put it realistically, it means that people feel uncomfortable when there are outsiders around, and thus unconsciously restrain themselves.
