Chapter 87 [016] Scandal in Progress

Chapter 87 [016] Scandal in Progress
At noon that day, Qin Jiandan learned that reporter Ding Ling had left without saying goodbye, and he felt a little worried.

"She hasn't taken a picture of me yet! Could it be that she only brought a roll of film and couldn't take pictures after Zhu Shengzhi took it out of the camera?"

After thinking about it, it was all Zhu Shengzhi's fault. The bunny-eared girl lost control and threw herself on him during her high period. There was no need to take such a photo, nor was there any need to save it as a handle.

"Zhu Shengzhi, this idiot ran away so fast! What did you say that you are busy with things in your territory? You are busy with things, but you still come to the headquarters and want to take advantage of my interview?"

Zhu Shengzhi is a businessman through and through. As long as there is profit to be made, he will not miss any opportunity to gain external exposure and increase his popularity.

Qin Jiandan regretted not taking Ding Ling's film from Zhu Shengzhi immediately. While walking in the courtyard, he accidentally saw Doctor Li practicing Tai Chi under the shade of a tree.

Doctor Li was dressed in a Chinese-style suit with a buttonhole. His boxing and fitness exercises didn't have much strength, but he looked pretty good.

Seeing Qin Jiandan approaching, Doctor Li's glasses that reflected white light became brighter:
"Young Master, come here for a moment."

Qin Jiandan walked closer as instructed, and Doctor Li took out a small steel bottle similar to the size of nutritional oral solution from his pocket and put it in Qin Jiandan's hand.

"This is a 'liquid oxygen intravenous syringe.'" Doctor Li explained, "It can extend the duration of the 'Steel Armor Breathing Method' from a maximum of 5 minutes to a maximum of 10 minutes."

Qin Jiandan held up the small steel bottle and observed it carefully in the sunlight. He saw that there was a pressable mechanism on the top, which would pierce out the hidden needle as long as it was pressed against the skin.

"This is a good thing." Qin Jiandan threw the small cylinder and caught it again. "Doctor Li, did you prepare this specially for me?"

"I prepared this for the president before," said Doctor Li, "but the president was averse to technological products and didn't want to use it."

"That's right." Qin Jiandan stuffed the small steel bottle into the chest pocket of his jacket. "The enemy usually can't last more than a minute in front of Master, so this is useless."

Just because the master doesn't need it doesn't mean Qin Jiandan doesn't need it. If liquid oxygen is injected in advance, like the submachine gun suppression during Mrs. Watanabe's rebellion, maybe the other party can finish firing first!

"Only one bottle?" Qin Jiandan stretched out his hand to Doctor Li again. He was very shameless.

Doctor Li said, "Continuous injection of liquid oxygen is harmful to the human body. You only need to carry one bottle. Please help me do something. I will give you a new invention later."

Qin Jiandan knew that Doctor Li was not that kind, so he stood on tiptoe waiting for the other party to make a request.

Doctor Li handed Qin Jiandan a photo. Qin Jiandan took it and found that the photo showed a pretty boy with worries written all over his face.

"He is a member of our Night Dragon Society and once learned some medical skills from me." Doctor Li introduced, "He used to run a Chinese medicine pharmacy at the junction of Districts 2 and 3."

"Hanfang Pharmacy" is the customary name on Yingtong Street. At the headquarters, it is called Chinese Medicine Clinic, and there are also names such as "Baozhilin" and "Shaolin Tongrentang".

Qin Jiandan noticed the "before" in the words: "Then what's wrong with him now?"

Doctor Li: "There was a problem between him and his fiancée. His name is Xu Ritian, and his fiancée's name is Jenny. Jenny became a Furui because of the accident in the regeneration chamber, so Xu Ritian didn't want to marry her anymore. Then, he was persuaded by Master Tie Xin who passed by, and now he has closed the pharmacy and become a monk in Fahai Temple."

Qin Jiandan was filled with complaints:
Xu Ritian, oh Xu Ritian, your parents gave you such a domineering name, shouldn't you fuck the heavens, the earth, and the gods? You don't dare to fuck your fiancée anymore because she has become a Furui person. You really disgraced your name!
Besides, what do you have to do with yourself, Master Tie Xin? Why don't you lead the nuns to chant sutras, but persuade Xu Ritian to become a monk? It seems that Fahai Temple has a grudge against people with the surname Xu just by the name! Is this a universe remake of "Legend of the White Snake"?

"I understand." Qin Jiandan clenched his fists. "As the old saying goes, 'It is better to demolish ten temples than to break up a marriage.' I will go to Fahai Temple now. If they don't let me go, I will demolish Fahai Temple!"

Doctor Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head left and right:

"Young Master, you misunderstood. I don't care what happens to Xu Ritian and Jenny in the future. The problem now is that Xu Ritian is a member of the Night Dragon Society. He became a monk without returning the dragon emblem, which is not in compliance with the rules."

"Also, his Chinese medicine pharmacy, as a rule, has shares from the Night Dragon Society. Now he has casually closed the business without making any arrangements for the pharmacy. This is also very inappropriate and irresponsible."

Qin Jiandan cursed: "If he is responsible, he will not abandon his fiancée and become a monk!"

Doctor Li nodded:
"Young Master, please find some time to go to Fahai Temple. Try not to use force. Use the reputation of the Young Master of the Night Dragon Society to meet Xu Ritian. It would be best if Xu Ritian is willing to come back. If he doesn't come back, you can ask him to formally withdraw from the guild and then take the disposal materials of the Chinese Medicine Pharmacy and ask him to sign them."

From the perspective of guild management, Doctor Li’s suggestion was reasonable, but Qin Jiandan was a little unsatisfied.

Although I don’t know Jenny, and I don’t know what kind of Furui person she has become, but the fact that she was abandoned by her fiancé just because of this really makes me want to beat Xu Ritian up!
Qin Jiandan had some other decisions in mind:
"Okay, I'll go to Fahai Temple to meet this brat. Probably tomorrow."

Doctor Li: "I will have my men prepare Xu Ritian's withdrawal from the guild and the written materials for the disposal of the pharmacy in advance and send them to the young master."

Qin Jiandan turned and left, waving his hand casually behind him, as if to imply that no materials were needed at all.

※※※

The next morning, Qin Jiandan wanted to go outside the headquarters to eat beer and fried chicken, but as soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he felt that the guards' eyes were a little strange. Eh? Could it be that Linlin shouted "molest" and the guards heard it? But a day has passed, why did the consequences only appear today?
Qin Jiandan walked through the courtyard and all the way to the gate. The four guards standing guard at the gate also looked unhappy, and they stumbled when greeting the young master.

"What are you hiding from me?" Qin Jiandan asked, "Is it fun for everyone to be a riddle teller?"

Seeing that the young master was about to get angry, the guards looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first to step out.

Fortunately, Tiger Chi was patrolling nearby with a magazine in his hand, and the guards were relieved when they saw him.

"Young master, look." Hu Chi handed the latest issue of "Crime Fighter" to Qin Jiandan, which was just released this morning.

In the lower left corner of the magazine cover, the bunny-eared girl Ding Ling was crying with her hands covering her face like a victim of a crime, and Qin Jiandan's heart skipped a beat.

Flipping to the magazine's catalog, the clarification article that was supposed to clear the Night Dragon Society's name was withdrawn, and replaced with Rabbit reporter's tearful accusation:
"Insulted during interview! The Night Dragon Society's young master's two hours of inhumane treatment!"

The content of the article is full of true feelings, every word is heartbreaking, and it confuses right and wrong, which is outrageous...

What attracted more attention than the article was the selfies taken by the reporter in the tea room. Although these photos did not reveal her nipples, they were quite emotional with her beautiful breasts. Ding Ling's tearful face was also pitiful.

"Damn, she also took the picture of the scenery outside the window!" Qin Jiandan felt the seriousness of the situation.

Ding Ling's selfie was taken with the window as the background, and the iconic Chinese-style building of Yelonghui was also captured in the photo.

Reporter Rabbit wrote in the article that these photos were taken by the young master of the Night Dragon Society in order to coerce her, and she risked her life to steal some of them.

Some of the photos are now released publicly to expose the ugly behavior of the young master of the Night Dragon Society. Even if it means sacrificing one's own reputation, other female reporters must be warned not to approach the gate of the Night Dragon Society.

The article ends with this:

"After being tortured for two hours without any safety measures, I am probably pregnant. But no matter what, I will fight with Qin Jiandan to the end for the rights of women and the rights of Furui people."

"If I am found dead in a stinking ditch outside the city soon, then it must be Qin Jiandan who murdered me to silence me! He would not hesitate to brutally kill me and the child in my belly, which belongs to him!"

"Dear readers, please remember me. I am Ding Ling, an overseas correspondent. If there are no more follow-up reports, this article will be my last..."

After reading the article standing at the door, Qin Jiandan felt like he had been fucked by a dog... no, like he had been fucked by a rabbit.

"The whole article is nonsense! She was clearly the one who lost control during her high period and attacked me, how did it become me torturing her? Was she bribed by the Ni'an Society to write this kind of article?!"

The four guards lowered their heads and looked at their feet, and no one answered the young master's question.

Qin Jiandan secretly thought that this was not good. The rabbit Ding Ling looked very appealing and did not look like someone who would accept bribes from Ni An.

On the other hand, everyone in the guild knew that in order to practice the "Steel Armor Breathing Technique", one had to remain a virgin. Now that the technique was complete, some guards were betting on "when the young master would lose his virginity".

Hu Chi stepped forward and pulled the emotional Qin Jiandan to the shadow behind the door:
"Master, I believe you are innocent. But there are many people who read the magazine, and they may not believe that you are innocent."

Tiger Chi glanced at the guards outside the door:
"The reporter Rabbit was in a high period. The younger brothers at the headquarters believed it, but some people thought that the young master did not refuse and was only half-hearted. The reporter regretted it after returning and wrote that kind of article..."

"Zhu Shengzhi, Zhu Shengzhi can testify for me..." Qin Jiandan stopped talking halfway through.

It is well known that Zhu Shengzhi has a very bad character, and asking him to come out to testify would only make things worse.

Even the film that Zhu Shengzhi used as a "handle" was useless. Readers would definitely believe Ding Ling's statement based on their preconceived notions. If Yelonghui printed a large number of photos of the rabbit's reverse derivation, the authenticity of the photos would be doubted.

As digital technology is monopolized by companies, the Photoshop techniques of the Earth era have basically been lost. However, the absence of digital photos and computer technology does not mean that photos developed using film cannot be faked.

"Young Master, calm down!" Tiger Chi grabbed Qin Jiandan's left shoulder:

"Do you know what people on the street are saying about you after reading the magazine? They say you snatched glass balls from children, forced decent girls to marry, and even ripped off the female reporter who came to interview you..."

"How can I stay calm when things are like this!" Qin Jiandan said angrily, "I'll go catch the dead rabbit right now..."

Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck Qin Jiandan's brain neurons, and he thought of something more urgent.

Oh no! Chief Inspector Mu Yue might have seen the report in Crime Fighter. I must call her to explain before any misunderstanding occurs!
There was a phone at the entrance of the headquarters. Qin Jiandan picked up the phone and dialed Mu Yue's office number.
