Chapter 28 [004] Gifts for straight men, great results
Linlin came down from the monitoring room and changed back into her usual set of dazzling kung fu clothes and slightly heavy insulated engineer boots.
It seems that the short, revealing cheongsam that the master gave her was only worn for her brother to see.
"Oh! Miss Linlin has become even more beautiful after not seeing her for a few days! I, Zhu Shengzhi, am so lucky to be received by the young master's sister..."
Zhu Shengzhi was a man with a thick skin. No matter how young the other person was, he would kneel down to the other person without hesitation in order to achieve his goal. Being extremely flattering to Linlin like this was just a daily routine.
Qin Jiandan took a step forward to stop Zhu Shengzhi from getting too close to his sister.
"Linlin, Brother Shengzhi said he wants to give you a gift, are you interested?"
The bun-haired (no kung fu) girl blinked her eyes and said, "Give me a gift? Why?"
Zhu Shengzhi presented the rectangular gift box with both hands: "Of course it is to calm Lady Linlin! I heard that the president has sent a gift, right? The other cadres actually forgot to consider Linlin's feelings. They really don't care about the young master. I feel ashamed of them!"
Qin Jiandan didn't fall for Zhu Shengzhi's plan to sow discord. Jiang Chouyun and the Clown Group were fighting for territory in District 12, so he needed to go back to command as soon as possible; the rebellion of the Falling Cherry Group had just happened three days ago, and Miyamoto Xiaoxia had too many things to deal with when she returned.
Zhu Shengzhi, you have nothing to do, so you come here to flatter? Since its inception, the Night Dragon Society has always valued strength and does not care about gifts or bribes. Master gave Linlin a cheongsam to pamper his granddaughter (and he had other plans). You and Linlin are not related, so you gave Linlin a gift to repair the tense relationship with me, right?
Linlin is an expert in computers, but she doesn't care much about the power struggle within the guild. She took the gift box curiously and began to unpack it.
It is understandable that a 15-year-old girl would want to take a look at a gift when it is presented to her.
But what are you staring at, Brother Huchi? Are you also a curious 15-year-old girl? If there is a 15-year-old girl like you in the world, her family will have to give the entire Huanshi City as a dowry in order for her to marry out!
"Eh? Is it the 'ultra-precision electronic screwdriver limited edition set' that can't be bought outside the city? I heard that this kind of screwdriver can even remove the hidden screws on the prosthesis!"
Linlin was so happy that she almost jumped up (even though her legs would hurt). The screwdriver set is a very "straight male" gift, but it is the most suitable gift for Linlin. Zhu Shengzhi must have done research beforehand.
"Thank you! Thank you, Uncle Shengzhi..."
Linlin hugged the screwdriver set and bowed to Zhu Shengzhi, who declined with a look of “no, no thanks”.
The tiger maniac standing next to him couldn't stand it anymore.
"Linlin, you can call me 'Brother Tiger', not Zhu Shengzhi 'Uncle'! We are almost the same age, so if you call me that, wouldn't it make me a generation younger than you? Just call me 'Brother Shengzhi' like the young master does."
"Oh." Linlin bowed to Zhu Shengzhi again, "Thank you for the gift, Brother Shengzhi."
Qin Jiandan pulled Zhu Shengzhi aside.
"Let's make it clear in advance that giving Linlin a gift is one thing, and who the Fire Tongs will support first is another. I won't give priority to supporting the Bio-Intelligence Team just because you gave Linlin a gift."
"Of course, of course!" Zhu Shengzhi rubbed his hands together with a smile, "I don't have any other intentions today, I just want Miss Linlin to be happy! Master, look, how happy Linlin is!"
What Zhu Shengzhi said was true. Linlin had already squatted on the ground and opened the casing of the screwdriver set. She picked out a few screwdrivers and tried to insert them into her multi-functional belt with excitement on her face.
Linlin almost cried this morning, but she felt better because of Zhu Shengzhi's gift. This was totally unexpected...
"Brother Shengzhi, if there is nothing else, how about we stop here for today? I may have to go out later..."
"Yes, yes, absolutely no problem!" Zhu Shengzhi said as he stepped back and said goodbye, "I also have to go back to District 6 to fight with the Nian Society for territory... Take care, Young Master, and take care, Miss Linlin!"
After Zhu Shengzhi left, Tiger Chi's curiosity was satisfied, and this 15-year-old girl, who was over her age (and also very ugly), continued to patrol along the road.
Linlin was still trying to figure out which screwdrivers would fit into her belt, while Qin Jiandan squatted down opposite her sister.
"Linlin, don't be careless. Check carefully to see if there are any bugs or other tricks in here."
“I understand, brother, you don’t have to worry.” Linlin didn’t even raise her head. “If Zhu Shengzhi wanted to cheat me on electronic devices, he would be 100 years too early! But this set is really rare. Hehe, being the young master’s sister does have its advantages…” Well, Linlin called me “brother” just now. Does this mean that now that she is my sister, she will not stop me from going to the inner city to meet Sheriff Mu Yue?
At this time, Zhu Shengzhi, who had left the headquarters of the Night Dragon Society, was also making his own plans.
Humph, I heard that Zhao Huoqian was beaten to death by Qin Jiandan. If I can use Qin Jiandan's hand to kill other senior cadres one by one, wouldn't it be very beneficial for me to become the chairman in the future? After killing someone with a borrowed knife, it will be the same to kill Qin Jiandan!
Or... it would be even better if Qin Jiandan could be killed by the Nian Society! Linlin will definitely avenge her brother by then, and her hacking skills will be very useful to me!
Hahaha, I, Zhu Shengzhi, am so smart! Qin Jiandan and Linlin, you two brothers and sisters will become puppets in my hands and dedicate your whole lives to me, the future president!
※※※
In District 12 of the outer city, the "Joker Group" and the "Gloomy Group" each have half and half of their power, and it is a neutral zone where conflicts often occur.
The leader of the "Clown Team" is called Donald. He has golden hair, which he combed into an ice cream cone shape with hairspray, which is very eye-catching. In addition, his mouth is very protruding, a bit like Suneo Bonekawa in "Doraemon". In comparison, his face is covered with white powder and clown costumes like other members, which is not a special feature.
Now, Donald is holding a cadre meeting of the Joker Group in the base on the west side of District 12.
"I think everyone among you knows that the chief assassin, "Chameleon" Johnny, is dead. The company recovered his body and made his "camouflage invisibility" ability into a skill tank. Now many outsiders in Ringstone City have learned it."
The eight clowns sitting on both sides of the conference table usually act crazy, cruel and absurd, but in front of their leader Donald, they all restrained their crazy behavior and acted like office workers in a company.
"Zhao Huoqian failed in his attempt to assassinate Qin Jiandan, and Mrs. Watanabe is also dead. We suffered heavy losses. Jiang Chouyun has already begun to recover the lost territory in District 12, and several stores have been taken back by his people."
Standing at the head of the conference table, after calmly stating the above information, Donald suddenly pulled out a pistol from his bosom and laughed wildly: "Hahaha! Haha! How ironic! Since I took over as the leader of the Joker Group, I have never experienced such a disastrous defeat! Hahaha!"
The pistol is completely black, and its appearance is copied from the American M1911 pistol of the Earth era. The black muzzle keeps shaking with the owner's arm.
The clown who was sitting in the fourth position spoke up: "We shouldn't have cooperated with Zhao Huoqiang. We should kill all the Orientals and then cut off their scalps!"
Donald's arm instantly regained stability, he raised his hand and the gun, and shot the man cleanly!
As if it had been measured in advance, the bullet embedded itself in the center of the man's forehead with incredible precision, causing his body to fall backward and slump into the chair.
The other cadres' faces turned pale, but because they were already covered in white powder, no difference could be seen.
Donald rested his hands on the conference table, the heat still lingering on the M1911 in his right hand.
"Idiots! We should allow the enemy to join us before they are defeated. After we defeat them, we will have the final say on how to deal with them! Johnny and the guy just now are too crazy, it's better for them to die."
"Pass on my words: If there are still people in the Night Dragon Society who are willing to surrender, the Clown Group will always open its doors to them. We must also step up efforts to win over Zhu Shengzhi and Jiang Chouyun, and take every opportunity to test their opinions."
Donald used the M1911 as a comb to comb his ice cream-shaped hair.
"Also, stop killing city police so casually. There are many members of the Han family among the city police, and it would be terrible if we accidentally killed someone from the Han family. We also need to do business with the inner city and smuggle weapons from the inner city. Do you still want to compete with the Night Dragon Society after angering one of the three major families?"
"Also, the new young master of the Night Dragon Society, Qin Jiandan, is said to have the invulnerable "Steel Armor Breathing Method" and the powerful "Wolf Roaring Bullet". He is a very difficult guy to deal with. You should pay more attention to him."
The clowns nodded, and Donald walked out of the meeting room without announcing the adjournment.
However, just as he pushed open the door of the conference room, he suddenly stopped, turned half way back, and the terrifying smile on his face made all the participants tremble with fear.
"Robert, you and the guy I just shot are brothers, right?"
Robert, who was sitting in the third position, waved his hand and said, "They are just cousins. Team leader, you..."
Donald raised his hand and fired, killing Robert on the spot without giving him any chance to defend himself.
“The Clown Group… must wash away the shame of failure! I’ve found an opportunity to force the Han family to cooperate with us. You must bring all your brothers with you to fight with me! Hahahaha! If we can’t succeed, there’s no need for the Clown Group to exist! Hahahaha!”
Donald laughed wildly with a gun in hand, and the six clowns who survived in the conference room were all trembling in fear at the leader's laughter.
