"How are you? How do you feel?" After returning to the private residence, Jin Ying'er, who was waiting at the door, asked with concern.
Xia Mo smiled slightly and spread his hands: "No merit, no fault."
This result was enough for Jin Ying'er. She took Xia Mo's arm and went upstairs.
"Very good. I thought Xue Ming would make things more difficult for you, but I didn't expect him to be able to endure it."
Xia Mo said with a slightly depressed look: "But I think he is just forbearing like this for greater enjoyment. This person is really difficult to deal with."
Jin Ying'er patted Xia Mo's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, with our current progress, Xue Ming can only watch. He can't stop anything."
At the end of Xia, I understood and my complexion became better.
But then Jin Yinger added: "Unless... I underestimated him and Amy and made them choose to admit defeat earlier. And once they choose to retreat, even if we win, it will be equivalent to losing."
Xia Mo stopped to look at Jin Ying'er and said, "Sister, don't worry about this. As long as I'm still alive, I won't let Xue Ming give up easily."
The cryptic conversations between the siblings would sound completely confusing to outsiders.
But both of them could see the trust and confidence coming from each other.
At noon, Jin Ying'er and Xia Mo left their residence and went straight to Qingyun Building.
Arbiter intelligence officers who discovered this immediately reported the situation to Serah.
This is very important information. After all, it has been a month and a half since Jin Ying'er appeared, but she has not visited any of her old friends. All her itineraries are focused on two points, namely the lecture venue and her residence.
Now Jin Ying'er suddenly takes Xia Mo to Qingyun Building with her, and the intention behind this is a bit intriguing.
…
But knowing that there is a problem, but not being able to understand it too deeply has become the biggest problem that plagues Sera now.
"Don't try to enter the Qingyun Building. It will be very disadvantageous for us to disturb Lin Sen and the others." After thinking about it, it was obviously impossible to enter the Qingyun Building without a trace through technical means, so Sierra could only give up.
Got this great opportunity.
At the same time, she also submitted relevant information to Xue Ming.
Xue Ming was very interested when he learned about this, but like Sierra, he knew how much trouble monitoring Qingyun Building for no reason would bring, so in the end Xue Ming also chose to give up.
But before giving up, Xue Ming thought of a more compromise method to try to make up for it.
"Isn't Qin Wen working with Manny to develop a quantum curved edge computer recently? Let her go."
"Can Qin Wen do it? This girl is very naive. I don't think it's necessary to drag her so deep, right?"
"Of course it works, because we don't need to let Qin Wen know too much. As long as Qin Wen is here, she will be our eyes, right?"
"Oh, that's right, you are so smart."
…
"Sister, where is this?"
"An old friend's home, I don't know if he has gone out." Jin Ying'er's sudden visit actually had no special purpose at all. She came just to see Lin Sen and convey a few words.
So this impromptu visit encountered obstacles downstairs.
Even if the guards recognize Xia Mo, no one can easily enter without the permission of the building owner.
But it happened that Qin Wen also came nearby at this time. When she saw Jin Ying'er, she was much more surprised than Sierra, and this kind of surprise was not fake, because Xue Ming never mentioned Jin Ying to her at all.
Son, he just handed a special report to the little girl, and then Qin Wen happily came to Manni to do research.
So when she saw Jin Ying'er, Qin Wen was stunned at first, and then her eyes turned red.
This feeling not only comes from the relationship at the Liszt Military Base, but more importantly... Qin Wen's new life is closely related to Jin Ying'er.
Therefore, Qin Wen was really excited when her benefactor and friend who had not heard from him for many years appeared again.
Jin Ying'er was also surprised. When she saw Qin Wen, the familiarity also made her excited. But now Jin Ying'er is no longer as simple as Dr. Jin back then. She has controlled her emotions very well.
mood.
Even if Qin Wen rushed over and hugged her, it would be the same.
After a long while, when Qin Wen managed her emotions and looked very embarrassed, Jin Ying'er smiled and helped her wipe away her tears and asked, "Long time no see."
When Qin Wen heard this, she looked at her beautiful sister with a bit of anger, and said with a sob voice: "Sister, why have you disappeared for so long... I thought..."
"You think I'm dead? Haha, no, Nizi, thanks to the equipment you and Manny designed, now I'm not only living well, but also very healthy." Jin Ying'er's tone sounded a little raw.
Qin Wen was not that sensitive. After hearing this, she burst into tears and smiled: "Sister is teasing me again. Most of those equipment are the credit of Manny. I am only responsible for the later work."
At this time, Xia Mo on the side looked over curiously and said: "Sister, who is this?"
Jin Ying'er introduced: "This is one of the high-level executives of the Arbiter, Miss Qin Wen. Despite her girlish appearance, she is almost thirty, so you have to call her sister obediently. You know
?"
As soon as Qin Wen heard this, her pretty face immediately turned gloomy, and she held Jin Ying'er's hand and refused to let go: "Uh-huh! Sister! Why...you told everyone's age like this!!
"
Jin Ying'er was happy, now she finally let down her guard.
Xia Mo saw it and called out obediently: "Hello, sister Qin Wen, my name is Xia Mo."
"Xia Mo? Huh?" Qin Wen's eyes flickered, and she said in surprise: "Xia Mo!? Are you Xia Mo, the leader of the Transcendent School who is particularly popular recently?"
Xia Mo smiled politely and nodded slightly: "Yes, does Sister Qin Wen also pay attention to the Transcendent School?"
Qin Wen immediately looked a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Uh, haha, well, I just heard your name and searched for some information. In fact, I have been very busy recently... Um... eh!? Manny?"
Just as he was talking, the front door of Qingyun Building suddenly opened, and Manny, dressed in work clothes, came out with a chicken coop on her head without even washing her face.
"Xiao Wenzi? Why are you...hey? This is...Sister Ying'er?!!! Oh my God! Is it really Sister Ying'er?"
With continuous doubts and exclamations, the guards watched helplessly as the two high-ranking arbiters hugged a strange beauty regardless of their personal appearance.
Although this beauty is indeed pretty enough, this is a public place after all, and it is a bit inappropriate for the two senior executives to behave like this.
Fortunately, Jin Ying'er was much more mature. She immediately reminded Manny that the situation was not right, and then several people entered the building.
The familiar environment is still the old elevator.
It's just that at this time, all the original residents and companies in Qingyun Building have been evicted, and now it has been completely transformed into a private residence for Lin Sen and others.
However, Lin Sen still has only a few houses, and most of the remaining areas are reserved for Manny to conduct research. And due to space limitations, Manny also expanded downwards to four underground research areas, where
The world's top elites of all kinds are gathered together, and they are working day and night to carry out research and development work that they are good at in accordance with the needs of the arbiters.
However, since the underground and above-ground structures are one-way isolated, the busyness underground does not penetrate to the ground. Therefore, for first timers arriving in late summer, this place seems very peaceful and comfortable. At least it is not like the one in Area C of the Top of Turin.
Busy and depressing.
As one of the owners of the building, Manny naturally has to shoulder the responsibility of reception now that Lin Sen is away.
Although Jin Ying'er was a little disappointed when she heard that Lin Sen was not here, Manny's enthusiasm was hard to resist. In addition, there was still time before the dinner, so Jin Ying'er simply gave herself and Xia Mo a holiday to have a good rest.
On the top floor, in the bamboo house, Jin Ying'er unexpectedly saw another old friend, or two...
Two people, Dongfang Ruo, who had exactly the same movements and expressions, were sitting opposite each other in the bamboo house drinking tea. When they saw Jin Ying'er, one of them wearing a clown mask stood up to greet her, while the other wearing a silver fox mask stood up to greet her.
But he just looked at everyone quietly.
"Long time no see." Jin Ying'er was very happy to see Dongfang Ruoshi, but she was even more surprised by the peaceful coexistence between Dongfang Ruo and her other self, so she inadvertently looked more at Dongfang Ruo who was wearing the silver fox mask.
A few glances.
Dongfang Ruo, who was wearing the clown mask, noticed this, but she didn't need to turn around. Dongfang Ruo, who was wearing the silver fox mask behind her back, left gracefully. She walked quietly and casually, not caring about anything here.
Manny was relieved that there was only one Dongfang Ruo left. After all, she was not very good at dealing with this kind of situation.
Now that one of them is gone, Manny feels much more relaxed.
"Uh, um, sister Dongfang, my place is too dirty and it's really inconvenient to receive them, so I brought sister Ying'er and Manny here. Please accompany me for a while. I'll go wash and change clothes and I'll be back.
"Mannie left after saying this, in a hot-tempered and carefree manner. Who would have thought that such a character could actually develop the world's top weapons and equipment.
Dongfang Ruoya had long been used to it, and she immediately called everyone into the house.
Unexpectedly, there was a maid in the room who had already prepared tea and snacks. It seemed that the person who left before had ordered it.
After sitting down, Xia Mo quietly looked at Dongfang Ruo on the right, and then used the corner of his eye to look at Dongfang Ruo, who had only a few outlines left behind the screen. While sighing in his heart, he inadvertently raised the corners of his lips.
.
During the tea tasting time, they first chatted about some innocuous household matters, mostly centered around Jin Ying'er's experiences over the years, and also talked about the experiences of Qin Wen and others over the years.
It's just that Jin Ying'er said it very roughly. She avoided the important and ignored the light from the beginning to the end. She didn't mention why she disappeared for so long and why she appeared here at the end of summer.
Of course, Qin Wen was not very curious. Jin Ying'er didn't want to tell how smart Dongfang was, so she didn't ask further.
It wasn't until Manny packed up and went upstairs that Jin Ying'er explained the purpose of her visit today.
