Chapter 68 [044] Father-in-law, you call this an assist?
As a dog-eared girl, Vale's sense of smell is 10 times that of humans. It is not surprising that Qin Jiandan once carried Mu Yue into a collector's luxury car, so the smell was left on Mu Yue.
The moment Mu Yue's blush flew up her cheeks, she heard a man coughing behind her.
She turned around hurriedly and found that her father had entered the dormitory yard at some point and was watching his daughter and her best friend from a distance.
Mu Yue shyly pushed Vale away from her, and Vale made an unhappy sound of "Ah~".
Mu Yue adjusted his face to a serious mode, and at the same time turned sideways to cover his chest under the bandage - even his father had to avoid suspicion.
"Dad, what are you doing here? I heard that Nestor was injured and went into the regeneration chamber. Why don't you take him home to rest as soon as possible?"
A full voice outside the courtyard answered: "Thank you for your concern, Miss. I am fine now."
From the sound of the voice coming from the car window, it seemed that my father and Nestor had returned from the outer city in the classic car.
Han Tiancheng moved away slightly to avoid embarrassing his daughter with his gaze, and waved to Vale as a greeting.
Valei smiled - the former deputy chief of police didn't have a bottle of wine in his hand, which was a good sign. And Valei had eaten a lot of delicious food when he visited Mu Yue's house before, so he should be grateful for the food.
"I came here today to tell you something." Han Tiancheng's voice was rarely without the turbid smell of alcohol. "I went to the No. 49 settlement to watch the fake bullfight, and Nestor almost died. Fortunately, Qin Jiandan rescued him. He is very powerful."
Mu Yue nodded: "I have roughly heard the whole story of this matter. I will express my gratitude to Qin Jiandan. Dad, you don't have to worry about it."
After a pause, she bit her lower lip secretly and said, "I need to rest now. Dad, if you drink less, you'll be helping me."
Han Tiancheng ignored his daughter's implicit order to leave and suddenly said, "Don't be a police chief anymore."
"What did you say?" Mu Yue glared back at him angrily. Han Tiancheng thought of his stubborn wife. The eyes of mother and daughter were so similar!
Han Tiancheng subconsciously wanted to take a sip of wine, but his hands were empty.
"Being a special duty sheriff is a thankless job. It's...very stressful." Han Tiancheng chose his words carefully so as not to anger his daughter further.
"Qin Jiandan seems to really care about you. When he saved me, he kept calling me 'father-in-law'." Han Tiancheng continued, "Why don't you just marry to the outer city and become the young master's wife of the Night Dragon Society. That would be safer than continuing your investigation."
Mu Yue took deep and rhythmic breaths. Vale looked at her best friend and then at her father, not daring to breathe. She knew this was a sign of the sheriff's anger.
"Safety? Dad, when you opposed me becoming a city police officer, you used the excuse of safety, right? Do you hope that I will never investigate the "police car explosion case" that killed Mom again? "
"You kid don't understand anything..." When the former Deputy Chief of Police heard the words "police car bombing", his hands trembled and he tried his best to control his emotions.
"Listen to me, I will visit you often even if you marry in the outer city. I can quit drinking and gambling, and rent out half of the big house at home. I won't have any financial problems just because you quit as the police chief. If Qin Jiandan gets into any trouble in the inner city, I can also use my connections..."
"Compared to these, I need the truth more!" Mu Yue flatly rejected her father's proposal, "My mother's death that night will be forever imprinted in my broken right eye! I will never stop investigating!"
Han Tiancheng could no longer remain calm because of his daughter's stubbornness. He slapped himself hard on the thigh:
"If you don't marry me, I will use you as collateral to borrow money from Qin Jiandan!"
Mu Yue sneered: "I am an adult. According to the law, you don't have this power!"
There are many laws in Ringstone City that are unimaginable in the Earth era, such as underage children can be used as collateral for loans.
As the former deputy chief of police, Han Tiancheng not only failed to control his daughter but was also refuted by her legally. He was so embarrassed that he went to his grandmother's house without any face.
"You...there are no laws in the outer city, so what if I signed a loan contract like that with Qin Jiandan? I don't care if Qin Jiandan steals your marriage away from you in the outer city! Anyway, I will be your father-in-law!" Han Tiancheng kept saying that he wanted to sell his daughter. Mu Yue was already exhausted and almost fainted from anger.
The quarrel in the yard late at night had already woken up some of the dormitories near the dormitory door and they pricked up their ears to eavesdrop. The struggle between the sheriff and her father was a repertoire in the police dormitory and it would be staged from time to time.
"I, I won't marry him..." Mu Yue breathed rapidly and was supported by Valei to walk up the stairs again.
Before entering the dormitory, Mu Yue turned to her father and said one last thing:
"I don't want the position of the young master's wife. Whoever wants to take it can take it! I need to go to sleep. I also need to treat the wound on my leg. If I don't wrap it with a biochemical bandage, it will leave a scar!"
Han Tiancheng said "Oh" a little helplessly, thinking:
If she wants to get married, it would be best if she doesn't have scars on her legs. My daughter is not completely ignorant...
Walei helped Mu Yue into the dormitory corridor. It was raining and the room was damp. Dew formed on the metal ventilation duct above her head, and a drop of water dripped onto the tip of Walei's nose.
"It hurts!" The dripping spot happened to be the shallow wound on the tip of my nose. "I'll have to put on a biochemical bandage when I get home!"
Seeing that Mu Yue still lowered her head and didn't speak, Valei advised:
"Um... Although I don't quite understand what happened tonight, but uncle said that just now, probably to protect you, right?"
The two dog ears above the white hair swing back and forth crosswise as if doing "mental running".
"By the way, Mu Yue, if you are willing to marry to the outer city, I can go with you! I can be the leader of the Night Dragon Club's "Fire Tongs Group"!"
Vale spoke excitedly, but her best friend's cold gaze soon came over:
"Why are you so sure that you can be the leader of the fire tongs team? Did Qin Jiandan secretly poach you?"
"Eh? What's going on?" Vale had to play dumb. "I heard that the leader position of the Fire Tongs was vacant, so I just said it casually... I have to have a position in the Night Dragon Club, I can't just be a dog there..."
Mu Yue was exhausted both physically and mentally, and was on the verge of falling asleep at any moment.
When she thought about having to ask Vale to help treat her leg wound while she was sleeping, she felt even more humiliated by being taken advantage of by the lesbian.
"If you want to be Qin Jiandan's dog, go ahead. I won't stop you."
"Xiao Muyue, what are you talking about! Good sisters are meant to be together for life! You and your husband have to raise me together!"
Mu Yue felt a headache. Sometimes she felt that Valei was sent by God to punish her. As one of the three major families in the inner city, the Han family had done many things that harmed the rights and interests of the Furui people, and perhaps Valei was retribution.
However, after Mu Yue fell into a deep sleep on the bed, Vale dutifully helped her undress, wrap the bandages, and clean up the acid rain residue.
Apart from watching with a smile, he did not do anything out of the ordinary.
"You're doing something dangerous again. Do you know how worried I am?"
There was only a small bedside lamp left in their dormitory. Vale sat on a chair with his hands on his chin, observing Mu Yue's sleeping posture. The sheriff, who had worked hard all day, seemed to have had a nightmare.
The heartless smile gradually faded from Vale's face, and a sense of loneliness rose in the blue eyes of the animal-eared girl:
"Xiao Muyue, you must not die. If the master dies first, it will be the greatest punishment for the dog..."
