Chapter 155 I also became a protective umbrella - 156 is broken)
Chapter 155 I also became a protective umbrella (third update)
Qu Jianlei finally did not reject Xiao Qin - he could feel that the people in the inspection office cared too much about reputation.
As soon as it got dark that night, he drove his off-road vehicle and drove Xiao Qin out of the city.
Halfway through, it started to rain. Xiao Qin was delighted when he saw this.
"If it rains, I can help you quietly. Rainy days won't leave traces easily."
"Just help me hold the battle," Qu Jianlei smiled, "Help me so much, what do you want to get?"
Xiao Qin thought for a while and answered, "Isn't it right for colleagues to help each other?"
"Is it difficult to be more honest between people?" Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes, "If you don't say it, you will miss the opportunity."
Xiao Qin blinked, "I'm going to say it, will you definitely agree?"
"What are you thinking about?" Qu Jianlei replied while driving, "It's not that I don't want to do many things... it's that I can't."
My soul comes from Blue Star, how can I tell you this?
"Can you officially join the Inspectorate?" Xiao Qin directly revealed his trump card.
The cultivation of electromagnetic properties and the use of crystallization are too targeted. Inviting the other party to join is the real package and take away.
"Officially... join?" Qu Jianlei was really excited at this moment.
But thinking of Hua Xiezi and Bentley who were still in Tianzi District, he felt that he couldn't be too selfish.
They agreed to rely on each other, and if he joins the Inspectorate, it won't be because he is careless in his work, but because he has a problem with his conduct.
So he said frankly, "Change the request."
"Let's talk about it later," Xiao Qin replied without hesitation. She always remembers that she does not seek merit but seeks no fault.
Central City is very big, and Qu Jianlei drove for two and a half hours before he found the place.
It was a settlement on the edge of the central city, about the size of a small village.
These two guys were hiding in a deserted house, eating and drinking happily, and they were both a little drunk.
A thinner one spoke, "This time you were wronged a bit. You hide away for two years and then go back and give that guy a hard time?"
For people in society, it is not shameful to run away, but it is shameful not to be able to regain face.
"I'm afraid it's going to be a bit difficult," said the fatter one. "The Inspectorate will take action. We two brothers may have to hide in the residential area."
"I know the settlement area well, and I have connections in Tianzi District," the thin man said, patting his chest.
Then he said with great embarrassment, "It's just that the conditions in the residential area are really too bad."
"Oh, what's so bad?" a voice rang.
"Everywhere is bad," the thin man replied casually, and then he realized, "Who the hell are you?"
"You smashed my home camera and you asked me who I am?" A young man walked out of the rain.
It was raining very hard at the moment, but the raindrops did not fall on the visitor at all.
There seemed to be a layer of air cover on his body, and the raindrops falling on it slipped to the side.
"Ultimate warrior?" The thin man's body stiffened instantly. He is an ordinary person, but he knows his stuff.
Transformed warriors are also invulnerable to wind and rain, but when their attributes are not awakened, an aura cannot be formed around them.
Without an attribute aura, you still have to get wet when it’s time to get wet, but you can handle it yourself.
The next moment, he recognized the person and felt a chill start to form all over his body, "Sir, sir, this is a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?" Qu Jianlei walked over and asked expressionlessly, "Who said you would trouble me again in two years?"
That night, both men were quartered.
What Qu Jianlei did was actually not too cruel. He just divided the person into six parts - cutting off the head and limbs.
Then he hung the head directly on the roof and walked away.
There was even a hint of emotion in his heart: So as a member of the Inspectorate, you can still act like this!
After seeing the whole process, Xiao Qin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart: Why do you have to be so cruel?
She felt that if she killed the person, that would be the end of it. Is it necessary to divide it into several pieces?
Human lives in the wasteland are not valuable, but they really don’t have the habit of torturing corpses.
Living people are a threat, but dead people are not.
Anyone who wants to torture corpses must achieve a certain goal, and situations like this in the wasteland are pitifully rare.
But she didn't say anything. After all, this was Jian Lei's behavior and had nothing to do with her.
This was just a casual feeling. What she really cared about was that Qu Jianlei could walk in the rain without getting his clothes wet.
This is a unique performance of the ultimate warrior. With this characteristic, it doesn’t matter whether it is certified or not.
In fact, some ultimate warriors still can't do this.
On the way back, Xiao Qin couldn't help but ask Qu Jianlei, "What attribute did you awaken?"
Qu Jianlei did not answer, and there was silence in the off-road vehicle.
It wasn't until he arrived at the small courtyard that he asked, "Does it have to have attributes?"
Xiao Qin pursed her lips and said no more. When she got into her car, she closed the door and started pressing her watch.
"Boss, just now I asked Jian Lei about his attributes, and he asked back, does it have to have attributes?"
Jamali was silent for a while, then asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't understand anything," Xiao Qin replied simply, "I don't dare to influence the boss's thinking."
"It doesn't necessarily mean anything," Jamali said nonchalantly, "He is also a maintenance engineer with a broad mind."
The next day, news spread that the two gangsters had been killed.
The security in the central city is better than that in the residential areas, but murders are not uncommon. However, the murderer's brutality still surprised everyone.
When the news reached the ears of other gangsters, someone immediately said, "I am willing to compensate and lose everything."
If you still can't avoid death after paying compensation, then you'll have to admit it. The key is that that person is too cruel.
Not long after, the three security officers also expressed their willingness to use all their assets to pay compensation.
Only the reformed warrior whose legs were broken was silent, but no one cared - this man already had the intention to die.
This information was fed back to Jamali's ears, and the inspector general expressed his attitude: I don't care if you go bankrupt.
Compensation must be paid, otherwise the matter will not end.
The security team could also guess at whose hands those two gangsters died, but this case... there was no way to pursue it.
Qu Jianlei began to continue his otaku life.
However, as the decoration was completed, waves of people came to ask how to rent his house.
After looking at the house, no one thinks that the monthly rent of 900 is expensive, but I heard that it is possible to rent it if the price is increased, and some people still make mistakes.
However, after two or three days, price increases began to appear.
At first, it was adding fifty, and soon there were adding one hundred and two hundred.
Finally, the person who added three hundred showed up. They were a middle-aged couple who planned to open a restaurant here.
Qu Jianlei felt a little strange, is it so profitable to open a restaurant?
After asking again, I found out that the food cooked by this couple is very famous, so they don't have to worry about customers at all.
Then they were targeted by gangsters who not only demanded protection money, but also forced the men to gamble.
Men don't like gambling, but if they don't play, they won't give each other face, and the restaurant won't be able to open.
They once found someone to talk to each other, but it didn't help much. The gangsters took a step back and just played three times a month.
Anyway, in this matter, the loss of money is one aspect, and it also makes people angry.
The couple heard two days ago that gangsters and security guards fell into the hands of someone, and that person had a store for rent.
So the two of them rushed over immediately and decided to rent it as long as it was about the same.
Only then did Qu Jianlei realize why some people had been raising prices one after another recently. The co-author had become a protective umbrella for himself.
According to his original intention, he actually didn't want to rent it out to a hotel, not to mention the noise and fumes.
But this couple is indeed a bit pitiful, and they also bring a team.
Qu Jianlei already loved food, so he immediately agreed, "You two make me a table of dishes to try."
The couple got started immediately, and in less than two hours, they cooked a sumptuous table of dishes.
Qu Jianlei tasted it and found that it tasted really good, "Then the monthly rent of one thousand and two thousand dollars will be rented to you two."
The couple acted quickly and hired several trucks that night to move all their belongings.
In a man's words, there is half a month's rent left over there, but I don't need it anymore.
The opening of the restaurant solved another problem for Qu Jianlei - the other party agreed to buy mutated animal meat for him.
The restaurant owner would definitely not buy more expensive ingredients than he did, and the couple was also good at making mutated animal meat.
They actually wanted to rent the upstairs as well, and the price was negotiable.
However, Qu Jianlei did not agree. It was his private space. He only agreed to rent out four houses for the other party to rest.
He also made a special partition for this purpose.
It took ten days to move in and renovate the hotel. Simple decoration was enough. The main thing was to prepare the kitchen, separate the private rooms, and make a plaque.
On the second day after the hotel opened, four or five arrogant guys came over and said, "Young man, have you changed the place?"
The little girl at the front desk turned pale with fright, and the landlady plucked up the courage to come out.
"You'd better find out who owns this house...the landlord will not allow outsiders to bully the tenants."
"What a nonsense," a gangster smiled disdainfully, "What a stupid landlord, do you know who our boss is?"
"Lord Jian Lei, someone scolded you," the landlady shouted, her voice sharp and high-pitched.
Then she looked at the gangster and said, "If you have the ability, can you say it again?"
"Lord Jian Lei..." The gangster smiled disdainfully, but then the smile solidified on his face.
"Where, where...which Master Jian Lei?"
"Who scolded me?" Qu Jianlei's figure appeared on the roof of the second floor, his face not very good-looking.
He was calculating the exercises and didn't pay attention to what was happening outside. He was interrupted by this voice, and of course he felt unhappy.
The gangster was dumbfounded when he saw the way he appeared - he appeared on the second floor for nothing, at least he was a reformed warrior.
Thinking about the recent rumors on the road again, he fell to his knees on the spot.
"Lord Jian Lei, the little one deserves to die, your lord has a large number... He who doesn't know is not guilty!"
——————
Chapter 156: Ending (Fourth update)
Qu Jianlei ignored the kneeling gangster at all, but looked at the landlady and spoke expressionlessly.
"What did he scold me for?"
The landlady immediately said, "What a nonsense. What kind of landlord do you know who our boss is?"
Not to mention, he really learned it perfectly, even his facial expressions and movements, so he has some acting talent.
Only then did Qu Jianlei look at the gangster, "In a gangster society, you have to understand that your eyebrows are high but your eyes are low... If you cut off your arm, I will spare your life."
In fact, he is not so aggressive in doing things.
But his colleagues talk about "the face of the Inspectorate" at every turn, so he can't let go, can he?
The gangster was stunned for a moment, and then kept kowtowing, "Sir, spare my life, I know I was wrong."
"Tsk," Qu Jianlei smacked his lips and cooed softly, "It seems that I am really tired of living."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, a gangster next to him took out the dagger from his waist and cut off the gangster's left arm with one knife.
The gangster cried out in pain.
The one who drew the knife put away the dagger and raised his hand to Qu Jianlei on the roof.
"Lord Jian Lei, we know we were wrong and we will never come again. Can you let us go this time?"
"I asked him to cut off his arm," Qu Jianlei was a little dissatisfied, "What's wrong with you?"
"I heard that your boss likes gambling? Let him come back to me to play a few games... It's best not to wait for me to find him."
After he finished speaking, he flashed his body and disappeared.
Several gangsters picked up the broken arm and escaped while holding the gangster with the broken arm.
"Let me go, is this Mr. Jian Lei?" A spectator next to him whispered softly, "You are so young."
"Congratulations to the proprietress," someone congratulated the proprietress, "Master Jian Lei has come forward to seek justice for your family."
The couple had many regular customers, and many people knew about their grievances.
But the landlady was sensible, she smiled and shook her head.
"How dare we do anything to you, sir? We're just chasing you here to cause trouble. Of course, you have to uphold the dignity of the patrol."
Still able to speak, Qu Jianlei heard this sentence in the yard, shook his head, and entered the bungalow in the backyard.
The next day, Ma Long came, and he helped Qu Jianlei find a job. He was also a mecha from the Inspection Office, and this time there were three.
Qu Jianlei was a little speechless, "I'm only responsible for the real estate. This time it's free because of your face. I won't do it next time."
There's no way it won't be free. Ma Long was very helpful from the beginning to the end of the last incident.
Although Qu Jianlei has promised benefits, but one code is the same - he took the initiative.
After testing the mecha, he invited Ma Long to have a meal at the door.
In the middle, Ma Long went to the bathroom and when he came back, he asked, "How come you are facing off against the Frost Wolf?"
Frost wolf? Qu Jianlei blinked and said, "I have beaten two Frost Wolf Kings. What do you mean by that?"
"Have you ever been to Zhouzi District?" Ma Long was stunned. He knew that frost wolves were a specialty of the area.
But the next moment, he laughed, "He's the one who runs the casino, and the person standing behind him is a B-class warrior."
Qu Jianlei blinked, "This Frost Wolf...is also the ultimate warrior?"
"Absolutely," Ma Long replied with a smile, "How can anyone who dares to open a casino not have the support of the ultimate warrior?"
Qu Jianlei frowned, "I used to think there weren't many Ultimate Warriors, why do they feel like they are everywhere now?"
Ma Long rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Not much, but not much. Otherwise, how about setting up an inspection bureau?"
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and then said, "The order of this casino...can't you control it?"
"How can you control it?" Ma Long shook his head, looking disapproving.
"Frost Wolf retires to the private sector. Every time he is recruited, he goes all out. He not only contributes his efforts but also pays for it. Who will care about such a trivial matter?"
Qu Jianlei also fell silent. The perfect city in Bentley's words... haha, that's all.
Seeing his lack of interest, Ma Long smiled.
"His men will definitely not dare to harass you again. I just suggest... that you don't go to him until you are strong enough."
Qu Jianlei turned his head to think about it and nodded, "Okay, I just said I would look for him back, but I didn't say when."
Two days later, Xiao Qin also heard about this and asked him about it when he came to give him the earth element cultivation method.
Qu Jianlei didn't care and explained the process - it's not to protect the reputation of the Inspection Office, I'm too lazy to do anything.
Xiao Qin was unhappy after hearing this, "Didn't Frost Wolf send anyone to bet with you?"
In her words, Ultimate Warrior won't do things like casinos personally, he just sits in the background.
The person who did such disgusting things to ordinary people is a reform warrior. How dare he not give face to the inspection office?
The other party did not come to apologize, either because there was something wrong with the management, or because Frost Wolf personally gave the order.
Since there was an Ultimate Warrior who refused to give him face, Xiao Qin said, "I'll go talk to him about this matter."
"You don't have to worry about it, right?" Qu Jianlei felt dizzy again.
He had a feeling that Xiao Qin, like Jamali, wanted to use various things to push himself to a certain level.
If he receives too much help and does not repay it... his conscience will not be able to bear it.
Xiao Qin said seriously, "Our inspection office has never given up halfway in its work."
"Ma Long said we could wait," Qu Jianlei asked helplessly, "What are you trying to do by helping me like this?"
If the other party continued to use the prestige of the Inspectorate as a cover, he would make up his mind not to appreciate it.
However, Xiao Qin's emotional intelligence is not bad, and I heard that his tone was not right.
So she said straightforwardly, "You can do a lot for the Inspectorate, and we need to support you."
Qu Jianlei sighed leisurely, "Take your time."
Since he and the two people in Tianzi District have agreed to rely on each other, the dragging technique comes in handy.
He didn't want to drag it out forever. As long as his cultivation could protect him, it was natural to give the other party some benefits.
Xiao Qin went to take care of this matter, and sure enough, within two days, a man came to see the landlady.
This person was the person who had forced the boss to gamble, and he brought more than 6,000 yuan in silver notes.
The boss has already exported tens of thousands of silver dollars, and this compensation is simply not enough.
But this person said that he spent it as soon as he had money, and now he can come up with more than 6,000 yuan by selling his house.
This is also the normal life of most gangsters. It is no exception in any society. Money comes quickly and money is spent quickly.
Then the man took out a dagger and chopped off his left hand. His face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "This hand is responsible for the debt, okay?"
The boss and his wife were a little dumbfounded when they saw this. They are both honest people - at least they are not promiscuous.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door, "Keep the severed hand and it will be settled."
It was Qu Jianlei who said that the other party did not bet against him, but chose to lose money, which was his own decision.
Of course it's good to show mercy, but it's obviously a little guy coming to top the tank, which makes him a little unhappy.
Then leave Broken Hand behind. Central City's medical level can connect to Broken Hand.
The last time the gangster took away the broken arm, he must have planned to reconnect it. At that time, Qu Jianlei didn't care - he just cursed.
But this time... do you want to play hard with me? Then don't touch it with your palm.
A trace of deeply hidden resentment flashed across the gangster's eyes, but he didn't dare to speak. He pinched his left arm and turned around to leave.
This matter should have ended here. Next, the security team finally relented.
They did not expect that the Inspectorate would blatantly go to Frostwolf to exert pressure for the sake of a simple base. This was something they did not expect.
Frost Wolf just sits in the casino, and the person behind the scenes is not just him, but a member of the Thirty-Sixth Family.
The head of the inspection department is so tough that the security team doesn't want to hold on any longer.
However, they did not pay full compensation, they just confiscated the belongings of everyone involved - even the former tenants were not spared.
Then, the security team added a little more symbolically and handed it over to the Inspectorate.
The main methods of compensation are silver coins and gold. There are three B-level crystals, but none at A-level.
The other party said that we can't get these things and can only pay with banknotes. Anyway, you know a lot of ultimate warriors in the Inspectorate.
As for the arrears, it will be settled gradually. They said they accept this account.
Qu Jianlei felt that it might become a bad debt or bad debt, but he let the inspector general make the decision.
The compensation received now is divided half and half between him and Dizifang - the benefits cannot be fully paid for the time being, and you can't blame me.
However, Jamali said that he would keep the three B-grade crystals and give Jian Lei some more cash and gold.
As for the welfare of other people in Dizifang, the inspector general said that he would use cash to offset it.
Because he is already a B-level warrior, he can directly use B-level crystals to practice, which is a necessity.
Qu Jianlei curled his lips and didn't express any objection - after all, you can't be too greedy if you get a windfall from heaven.
He didn't notice that Jamali observed his curling of his lips out of the corner of his eye.
Next, Qu Jianlei returned to a peaceful life.
Like the moon, summer passed in the blink of an eye. In the mid-autumn season, he finally broke through the bottleneck and reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Ordinarily, his cultivation should not improve so quickly.
The main reason is that he has read a lot of cultivation methods recently, not just the five attributes.
He has also read through the mutated attributes attached to the five elements, such as ice and stone.
In addition, with the support of a windfall, he doesn't have to be distracted and can just concentrate on his cultivation. He doesn't even have to worry about buying food.
He only needs to go to the inspection office once a month to collect his salary.
During this period, some people came to him to repair equipment. Because his colleagues had made a little fortune with him, they didn't mind coming to see him.
On this day, he finally broke through the bottleneck, and for a moment he felt a little complacent, "The next step is to hit the big realm."
The movement when he broke through was not small, but there were no ultimate warriors around, so there was no need to be on guard.
What he didn't expect was that in the restaurant at the door, a chef who was cutting vegetables suddenly stopped his knife.
Then he glanced at the backyard intentionally or unintentionally before continuing to cut vegetables.
This person is a member of the boss's team. His name is Xiao Moshan. He is in his forties or fifties. He has very good knife skills and specializes in chopping vegetables.
