Chapter 13 [013] Qin Qi’s Traditional Arts
At 1 p.m., when Qin Jiandan returned to the martial arts training ground where his master was in seclusion, he saw his master and Doctor Li sitting on the sidelines, playing "Four-Color Go" face to face.
This is an evolved version of the Go game from the Earth Era. In addition to black and white, there are two more pieces, red and blue. Up to four people can play at the same time. Qin Jiandan couldn't understand the rules.
"Jian Dan, I heard that you went out on a date with a female police officer before the cadre meeting was even over?"
The master twisted the chess piece in his hand, with a hint of anger in his words, but his eyes did not turn to the disciple standing solemnly beside him.
Qin Jiandan felt like a primary school student who was punished to stand in the corner, and beads of sweat appeared on his palms.
"Master, this is not a personal matter! I am asking that policewoman to help us investigate the traitor in the guild!"
"And the cadre meeting has ended. On the one hand, it is close to noon, and on the other hand, Zhu Laoer is also arranging for the meeting to end..."
The master shook his head, as if he was a little confused about the moves on the chessboard.
"Jian Dan, I heard from Hu Chi about the cadres' meeting. It's obvious that Zhu Lao Er is not convinced by you. He arranged to adjourn the meeting and you agreed? Aren't you anxious to go on a date with the policewoman!?"
Qin Jiandan was indeed very curious at that time about what the policewoman wanted to do by looking for him.
The master dropped a piece, which made a crisp sound.
"Power is something that is hard to get back once you let it go! Next time Zhu Laoer proposes to adjourn the meeting, even if it really should be adjourned, you should delay it for a few minutes before you announce the adjournment!"
"Brother, I know I was wrong."
Qin Jiandan really hopes that Hu Chi can stay here as well, so that as a person attending the meeting at the same time, the senior brother can share some of the master's scolding.
Master had said before that only Qin Jiandan and Hu Chi knew that he was seriously ill, and he omitted the doctor Li who treated him. After all, without a doctor, even the president himself could not be sure what disease he had.
Doctor Li was dressed in a neat Chinese-style suit with buttons, and wore thin glasses that reflected white light, so his eyes could never be seen, but the expressions on other parts of his face were very rich.
Although he is proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine, the master always prefers to use Chinese medicine for treatment. Now there is a bowl of dark yellow medicine soup next to the chessboard, and the smell is neither bad nor bad.
"President, although Jiandan has some talent in martial arts, he is still very immature in political tactics. Is it really a good move for you to let him be the young master?"
Doctor Li is a skilled doctor and has an extraordinary status in the Yelong Society. Even Zhu Laoer, the most arrogant of the four major cadres, does not dare to provoke him. After all, the outer city is in chaos and there will be no good consequences if you offend a doctor.
"It is enough to have talent for martial arts. As the saying goes, if you learn by analogy, you will be able to learn by inference." Although the master often scolded people in person, he would always give high praise when talking about Qin Jiandan with a third party.
"When it comes to power politics and the like, Zhu Lao Er is not naive at all. But I hate those mean and cunning people. If he could not make money for the guild, I would have killed him long ago."
"On the other hand, Jian Dan has no great ambitions. In other words, he has no ambitions. But he is quite proud and has the spirit of an ancient knight. I admire him very much."
This compliment made Qin Jiandan blush. He didn't understand why liking beer and fried chicken was considered "chivalrous".
"Jiandan, don't be so proud. Do you think I forgive you for looking for a woman?"
The master suddenly changed the subject. After praising Qin Jiandan, he started to question the policewoman, making Qin Jiandan's mood feel like a roller coaster.
Qin Jiandan had no choice but to explain in detail: "Master, the female police officer I went to see is Chief Inspector Mu Yue of Inner City District 12. She has the authority to check which members of the Night Dragon Club have been to the Inner City in the past three months, and where they have stayed. She promised to give me the data tomorrow!"
In exchange for the data, Qin Jiandan needs to go through the divorce procedures with the policewoman, but there is no need to let his master know about this.
"Sheriff?" The master's tone did not improve. "She became a sheriff at such a young age? I don't like it. It's enough for a woman to take care of her husband and children. She doesn't need to be so ambitious."
"Also, Hu Chi told me that she is very beautiful. Do you think so too, Jian Dan?"
"Yes, she is very beautiful." Qin Jiandan considered his words carefully. The master always favored boys over girls. He did not accept Linlin as his disciple not because of her leg injury, but simply because the master did not accept female disciples.
"Humph, beauty is a disaster!"
The master fiercely placed a piece on the chessboard. Judging from Doctor Li's reaction, it seemed that this move was not very clever.
"Women... From Yang Guifei to Cleopatra, countless countries and clans have been ruined because of women. Jiandan, haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
Qin Jiandan thought to himself, I’m a virgin and have never touched a woman, how can I learn from this lesson?
"If you want to get married in the future, it's better to know the other person well. I think Linlin is a good choice."
Qin Jiandan thought he had heard wrongly at first.
"Eh...eh??? Master, what are you talking about? Linlin is my sister!!!"
"What sister? Didn't the DNA test show that you are not related by blood? You are just childhood sweethearts who lived together when you were homeless on the streets."
Qin Jiandan didn't dare to tell his master that he had even more distant memories of living in the same family with Linlin. After all, those were just confused fragments and he was afraid that his master would think they were nonsense.
"Linlin..." Doctor Li, who was sitting opposite the master, laughed, "For some reason she always reminds me of a panda. I remember there was a time when you, Jiandan, nicknamed her "Panda Lin"? "
Qin Jiandan blushed and said, "I was not very sensible when I was a child, Doctor Li, please don't mention this."
"Not bad." The master dropped another child, "Linlin's hacking skills are indeed as precious as a panda, and she can also assemble weapons by herself. She learns everything very quickly. These are all very valuable talents. We can't let them flow out just because she marries somewhere else."
Qin Jiandan could not accept being forced to marry his sister for such a reason, but he realized something a little late.
"Wait, Master, you seem to mean that the "Steel Armor Breathing Method" is not a virgin skill, and my kung fu will not fail if I get married?" "Humph, you can't reach my level anyway, so as long as you are not too obsessed with women, you won't fail."
Qin Jiandan was greatly relieved and thought that he would go to his grave as a virgin.
My mood suddenly cheered up. I should share this good news with my wife right away!
Unfortunately, my wife didn’t want a divorce because of the disharmony between husband and wife…
"Master... you seemed to have said just now that women don't need to have a career, but then you asked me to be with Linlin, saying that her talents are valuable to the guild - isn't that a bit contradictory?"
The master was holding the red piece in the air, speechless for a moment, and finally said with a red face and thick neck: "Asshole, I'm sick and you dare to contradict the master!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The master started coughing again, and the chess pieces fell, breaking up the original layout on the chessboard. Qin Jiandan hurried over to check, but Doctor Li was not in a hurry and took the president's pulse step by step.
In Huanshi City, the biotechnology mastered by the company is far ahead of the Earth era, but some cancers have not yet been conquered. Although prosthetic technology is becoming more and more mature, it is limited to external organs, and there are still many difficulties in replacing internal organs.
What's more, Qin Qi hated the company so much that he would never give his body to the company for surgery. As the legendary president of the Night Dragon Society, even if the news of his illness leaked out, it would cause a huge shock to the ecology of the outer city.
"Jiandan, please step back... I need to rest for a while."
Qin Jiandan confirmed again and again that his master did not vomit blood this time before he left anxiously.
After Qin Jiandan's back disappeared at the end of the martial arts training ground, Doctor Li let go of Qin Qi's wrist.
"President, you're pretending to cough even though you're not sick. Is this because you're about to lose the game and don't want to embarrass yourself in front of your disciples?"
Qin Qi glared at Doctor Li and said, "You're the only one who talks too much!"
※※※
Worried about his master's health, Qin Jiandan walked with his head down on the stone road of the Yelong Society headquarters. When he looked up, he found his sister watering the flowers not far away.
Because of what Master said just now, it was a bit awkward to see Linlin now, but I certainly couldn't not say hello.
"Linlin, do you want to come out for a walk? These flowers are blooming so lushly!"
The girl in Kung Fu costume with a bun-like haircut nodded, and the watering can in her hand separated into several lines of water, reflecting a rainbow in the sun. Since she was moving while watering the flowers, she was walking sideways.
"Because you are the young master now, I, as your younger sister, have to practice the crab-like walking style in advance."
Linlin was obviously joking. She worked hard in the Night Dragon Club, was kind to everyone, and had always been popular. She would never bully others even if she was forced to do so.
Besides, the master was a strange person. He favored boys over girls, but he always saved all the delicious food for Linlin. In some ways, he spoiled her like his own granddaughter. No matter how high the status of the people in the guild was, they would rather bully Qin Jiandan than Linlin.
Of course, now that Qin Jiandan is the young master, he cannot be easily offended.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Linlin." Qin Jiandan apologized, "I was in a hurry when I came back from the inner city yesterday, and I forgot to buy you the inner city buns!"
"It's okay, I'm not angry." Linlin smiled, but whenever her sister showed this expression, Qin Jiandan always felt that there was murderous intent.
If you look closely, you can easily find that the tools in the sister's multi-functional belt have become a flower shovel, insecticide, and gardening shears - Linlin will put the tools corresponding to her job in her belt, which can greatly improve her work efficiency.
In addition, I always felt that Linlin's pink gradient Kung Fu costume had been washed. Her pink earlobe-covering hair was also much smoother, and there was a faint smell of shampoo in the air.
Did Linlin wash her hair last night... No, did she take a shower? Because it's hard to dry hair if you take a shower at night. Linlin usually takes a shower during the day. Was there anything special that caused her to take a shower at night?
What Qin Jiandan didn't know was that Linlin had failed to invade the inner city's drone as she had wished last night. However, when Qin Jiandan returned to the outer city, she saw through the drone camera in the outer city that Qin Jiandan's expression was obviously different from before.
That expression was not like the one from winning a competition or eating better-tasting beer fried chicken. It was a kind of expression that had never been seen before, a face full of hope for the future, as if falling in love.
"I heard from Tiger Chi that you just went on a date with... a female police officer from the inner city?"
Qin Jiandan showed an expression that was even more embarrassed than when he was facing his master, as if he had been caught cheating.
"No, it's just about the guild, Linlin, don't think too much about it."
When Linlin was watering the flowers, she accidentally poured water on her sleeves. However, the water did not remain on her clothes. It quickly turned into droplets and fell to the ground.
This pink gradient girl's kung fu suit is waterproof, fireproof and anti-pollution. It is a high-tech product customized through Dr. Li's channels. It is not because of the oil that it has the glare effect, but it is originally there, which can interfere with the thermal imaging scan of the drone to a certain extent.
Now, the sunlight reflected from this dress forced Qin Jiandan to look away slightly.
Seeing that her brother wasn't looking at her, Linlin turned her face away in angrily.
"Humph, in order to make it easier for my brother to come to the city, I had to get a Class B permit, but it ended up making you and the policewoman become "that kind of" family... I really asked for it!"
"Anyway," Linlin's eyes suddenly turned red when she said this, "Anyway, I'm a dirty kid who eats garbage, and she's an elegant lady from the inner city. How can I compete with her?"
Eh? Eh? Linlin, why are you crying? Are you jealous? Where did this stomachache come from? I remember that until last night, we were still a pure brother and sister, right? When we were young, we had garbage to eat. Who am I to complain about your dirtiness? Besides, you took a bath and cleaned your clothes, so you are very clean now!
That’s not right… Although the master in seclusion is only willing to see me, Hu Chi, and Doctor Li, it is not ruled out that the master said something that shouldn’t be said to Linlin through Hu Chi.
Although Senior Brother Huchi is loyal, he is loyal to the guild and the master. He still pits me mercilessly when he should! As expected, I wanted to sacrifice Senior Brother's other hand in exchange for Linlin's health before, and I didn't wrong him!
