Xia Chujian roared in her heart, but on the surface she just hugged the obsidian jewelry box tightly in her arms and said with a smile, "Then I will obey your command. Thank you, Aunt She! Thank you so much!"
She Zhuyin said, "Child, don't be so polite."
"You saved Yu Shen's life, and I only made some jewelry for you. I'm taking advantage of you."
"I've also prepared some gold, and I'll make you a weapon when the time comes..."
Xia Chujian: “!!!”
She hurriedly stopped She Zhuyin: "Auntie, don't do this! If you really want to give it to me, you can just give me the gold bars!"
"I'm not picky!"
"Using gold to make weapons is such a waste!"
She Zhuyin was amused by her and said, "I'll give you the gold bars and the golden weapons as well."
"Don't you want a little golden pistol that can rival a sniper rifle?"
Xia Chujian: “!!!”
Oh no!
To kill a snake, you have to strike at its most vulnerable part. Aunt She has grasped her lifeline!
What sharpshooter could refuse a small golden pistol that rivals a sniper rifle?!
Just thinking about it makes me feel cool!
It was in this dazed state that Xia Chujian returned to his small bat fighter.
Fortunately, she still remembered what she had to do.
She went to her villa near the Empire's First Military Academy, took the two household robots, Liushun and Xiaofei, and space-jumped back to Mulan City on Guiyuan Star.
She has already inspected half of the mansion here, and there is still half to be inspected.
She spent half a day inspecting the remaining rooms and signing their signatures.
Baili Xin took the acceptance form signed by her and went to Quan to ask for reimbursement of the balance.
This reconstruction was entirely funded by the Quan family, and Baili Xin did not save them any money.
All materials and craftsmanship are of the best quality available on the market.
He also sought out experts in the industry to redraw the blueprints for the design of the entire mansion.
However, the other party's drawings only showed two basement floors.
Baili Xin expanded and renovated the building based on the other party's drawings.
Two more basements were dug underground, so there are four basements in total.
The room above cleverly uses light and shadow and human eye errors to create two secret rooms.
A secret room is where the armory used to be, and it is still used as an armory.
But the building materials are at least ten times better than last time, and have reached the minimum standards for military arsenals.
This is already top-grade for civilian escape rooms.
There is also a secret room, which was suggested by Xia Chujian. It should be very spacious and can be used as a laboratory for Xia Yuanfang.
Some experimental equipment and devices that cannot be displayed in public are placed in that secret room.
When Xia Chujian came back today with a jewelry box, she felt for the first time that she also needed a secret room, no, a vault.
Just like the Huo family mansion.
Of course, it doesn’t need to be that professional or that big.
Just keep it dry at a constant temperature.
After she told Baili Xin her requirements, Baili Xin carefully studied the drawings, and then separated a small secret room between the studio and the cloakroom in the suite where Xia Chujian lived.
There are built-in jewelry cabinets on three walls inside.
All cabinet doors are installed with transparent material.
The jewelry inside can be seen from the outside.
Baili Xin also installed surveillance cameras in every jewelry drawer.
In this way, Xia Chujian can clearly see the jewelry in each drawer on the virtual display screen and try them on virtually to facilitate selection.
If any jewelry in a drawer suddenly disappears, she can also call the police in time.
The surveillance in this secret room has a 360-degree coverage without blind spots, and it is online 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Xia Chujian was very satisfied with this design and was planning to build a secret room like this for himself in Area 150 West of Shaofu Star.
She planned to take the drawings there and have the professionals there build it for her.
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, at the Huo family mansion on the outskirts of the Beichen Star Capital.
It has been several hours since Xia Chujian left.
Huo Yushen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, staring at the night outside in a daze.
She Zhuyin sat on the sofa behind him, looking at him with a complicated expression.
After a long while, Huo Yushen said in a cold voice: "...So, twenty years have passed?"
She Zhuyin nodded and said, "Yes, it has been twenty years."
Huo Yushen said indifferently: "I used to be the marshal here? And the chief inspector of the Special Security Bureau?"
She Zhuyin said gently: "It's not the case anymore."
"The reason for your injury should have been seen on the surveillance video."
Huo Yushen said coldly: "I saw it, but I didn't feel anything."
“It’s like watching someone else’s business.”
She Zhuyin said: "Your memory is damaged. You have lost at least the memories of the last twenty years."
"Don't worry, it will recover."
After calming herself down, she continued, "The girl you met today, Xia Chujian, was the one who saved you."
"Without her, your severe brain failure would be irreversible. If you're not dead now, your best condition would be a lifelong vegetable."
Huo Yushen still had no expression and did not turn around. He remained motionless, looking at the night outside the window.
From She Zhuyin's perspective, she could actually see that he was not looking at the night outside the window, but was using the window in front of him, which was so clean that there was not a speck of dust, as a mirror.
He was looking at his own face as if he were a stranger.
