Qi Mi glanced at the knife at his neck, leaned back slightly, and moved away from the threat.
She clenched her fists and stared at the man coldly: "I just want to ask the boss for my wages for tonight."
As soon as he finished speaking, the uncle's voice, apologetically smiling, came from the room: "Hey, sir, sir, don't be angry. She came to me. Leave it to me!"
The man glanced sideways and retracted the knife from the crack in the door. The next second after he left, the door was quickly opened and the uncle leaned sideways and squeezed out from the gap in the door.
It was so cramped, as if they deliberately didn't want to open the door, hiding something in the house.
Qi Mi took a curious look, but before he could see anything, the uncle blocked his view, and then the door was closed.
"Work wages, right? You have to wait for me to check and make sure that the repair is done before I can pay you." The uncle said as he gestured for Qi Mi to leave the door and called her to come to the repair area.
Seeing that Qi Mi had repaired seven huge items in such a short time, the uncle was obviously stunned for a moment. After trying each one to make sure there was no problem, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out the corresponding 1,400 yuan and handed it to her.
Qi Mi raised her hand to take it, but the uncle suddenly made a feint, and the hand holding the money suddenly passed in front of her and went behind her back.
Qi Mi was already holding a grudge against the strange man, and when she saw the uncle putting the money behind his back as if he was playing a joke on her, she immediately became furious and grabbed the uncle's arm tightly.
"What do you mean?" She frowned.
The uncle never thought that a skinny girl could have so much strength, and he immediately cried out: "Girl, don't be anxious, I just want to remind you to remember to help me fix the watch, I don't mean to not pay you!"
"Oh." Qi Mi let go of his hand.
The uncle quickly handed over the money, rubbing the place on his arm where she had gripped him, and grinned, "I didn't realize you were so strong, girl."
Qi Mi lowered his head and counted the money. After confirming that it was correct, his expression eased a little. "It's a little big. Sorry, boss. I'll come back tomorrow to fix it. It's too late today. I have to take my students to find a place to stay."
"Okay, then you must come tomorrow."
"Um."
After saying that, Qi Mi asked his three children to say goodbye to the uncle politely, and then pushed the door and walked out of the repair shop.
"Hiss - this girl must have been born in the Year of the Ox, she's so strong." The uncle watched Qi Mi walk away and couldn't help but complain.
After he locked the shop door, he pushed it open and walked into the cabin while rubbing his arm.
There was only an incandescent lamp on the table in the room, and the environment was very dark.
The man was sitting on a chair in front of the table. When he saw him coming, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't tell me that a big and strong man like you was bullied by a little girl."
"Who knows what's wrong with that little girl? She has such a bad temper and such a strong force. Sigh—I feel like my arm won't be healed anytime soon."
The uncle sat back in the leather chair behind the table as he spoke. When he looked up, he was met with the man's displeased expression. He immediately loosened his arm and said with an apologetic smile, "Of course, I can definitely fulfill your request, sir. Don't worry."
The man leaned back and crossed his legs. “You still have an hour, hurry.”
“Understood!”
The uncle instantly turned serious. He first put on a pair of sophisticated glasses, then carefully put on white gloves, and stared at the half-disassembled gun on the table.
Unlike ordinary guns, this gun is silver-white all over and is a size larger than ordinary pistols/guns. It has smooth lines and is full of technology.
"Sir, your gun is in serious trouble. Did you encounter a formidable saboteur?"
The uncle raised his eyes, intending to try to get closer to the officer by chatting him up, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said this, he saw that the officer's face became even angrier.
Well, the chatter is getting on the tiger's butt.
The uncle immediately stopped talking and focused on repairing the gun.
Qi Mi and his friends were lucky enough that they found a hotel by just turning in a random direction.
The small hotel was clean, tidy, and affordable, with quite a few people already staying there. It just so happened that a family room had just been checked out, so Qi Mi and his friends took advantage of the situation and got a spacious family room for just 120 yuan.
The three children slept in the big bed, and Qi Mi slept in the small bed. In the warm atmosphere, they had a rare good sleep.
It was almost noon the next day when these people, big and small, woke up.
After a quick wash, Qi Mi prepared to take the children out for dinner. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ye Shiliu sitting on a small stool guarding the door.
He still looked clean and refreshed, wearing a well-fitting suit.
Seeing Qi Mi, Ye Shiliu's eyebrows curved, revealing two cute little rabbit teeth: "Good morning!"
The three children were very polite. When they saw the big brother who saved their lives, they immediately smiled and said, "Good morning!"
Only Qi Mi remained silent, looking at him with scrutiny: "How did you know we were here?"
He found this hotel and this room so accurately, and she didn't believe that no one was watching them.
Ye Shiliu ignored Qi Mi's unfriendly tone and stood up to explain, "Well, to ensure the safety of every resident, the base has hidden facial recognition machines everywhere. No matter where you go, as long as you're still in the base, everyone's whereabouts will be under our control."
Qi Mi scoffed, "Does that mean we have no privacy in this base?"
"Uh..." Ye Shiliu finally sensed some of her emotions. He smiled awkwardly and explained, "Well... the base is also to ensure the safety of the residents. After all, things like strange things are hard to guard against."
Qi Mi sneered and took the children downstairs.
Ye Shiliu followed immediately.
"So you plan to visit me three times and insist on making me the Purification Officer?" She said quietly without turning her head.
Ye Shiliu: "I really think you're perfect for this position. Even my boss thinks so. He's very optimistic about you, so he told me to keep up the good work and get you hired."
As they were talking, they walked to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
Hearing Ye Shiliu repeatedly mention his boss, Qi Mi stopped in his tracks curiously: "Your boss? Is he very optimistic about me?"
Ye Shiliu hummed a sound and was about to explain to Qi Mi when his eyes suddenly passed over and fell behind her. He immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Boss!"
Qi Mi was startled, and turned around following his gaze, and saw a burly man standing at the door of the hotel.
He was also dressed as a purification officer, wearing a neat black suit, a blue tie, and two five-pointed star medals on his chest.
Qi Mi's eyes widened as she raised her gaze and saw the man's face clearly.
"It's only been a few years since we last met, and you're already so hard to invite? Do I really have to come and invite you myself?"
The man had a flat head and a very conspicuous scar on his face. When he was not smiling, he gave people a ferocious feeling. But when he smiled like now, two shallow dimples appeared on his face, which instantly added to his approachability.
Qi Mi was dazed for a moment, and a smile of surprise gradually blossomed on his face: "Old Wei?!"
Lao Wei joked: "That's me."
Like her, Lao Wei is also a doomsday player.
Qi Mi met Lao Wei when she entered the Doomsday Game at the age of 19. At that time, she was still a newbie who knew nothing and caused a lot of trouble for Lao Wei. Lao Wei was a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He said that he didn't care about her, but every time she encountered difficulties, Lao Wei would always protect her.
Lao Wei can be considered as half of Qi Mi's master, and he learned general fighting techniques from him.
Qi Mi was still immersed in the joy of meeting an old friend when she saw Lao Wei suddenly punching her. She instantly came back to her senses and immediately stepped forward to dodge.
Lao Wei was probably trying to test her fists and feet on purpose, without using any skills, just attacking with his bare hands.
At the beginning, Qi Mi could still fight with him for a few moves, but seeing that Lao Wei's moves were getting faster and faster, she could not keep up with his moves and could only dodge.
As soon as she raised her left hand to resist, the sharp-eyed Old Wei noticed her and grabbed her left wrist.
Old Wei was about to pull open her sleeves, but Qi Mi immediately turned around and elbowed him, breaking free from his restraints.
She jumped to the side, deliberately stretched out her left sleeve, and hid her whole hand inside.
Old Wei stared at her for two seconds. Seeing that she lowered her brows and eyes as if avoiding talking about this topic, he tactfully avoided asking questions and just smiled, "Qi girl, have you been slacking off? How come even your moves have become so rusty?"
Qi Mi curled his lips and said nothing.
At this time, sparse applause broke out in the hall.
Ye Shiliu and his three children stood by, watching in amazement. Peng Yichen couldn't help but exclaim, "Teacher Qi is amazing! It turns out she's a real female warrior!"
The cute childish words diluted the awkward atmosphere. Qi Mi and Lao Wei smiled at each other, and both of them tacitly did not mention what happened just now.
Old Wei looked at the three children and blinked in disbelief. "Sure thing, Qi girl, you should either not look for a boyfriend, or if you do, look for one who can have three children in one year. My brother-in-law is still in good health."
"?"
Qi Mi took a few seconds to react, then came to his senses and sighed softly, "Old Wei, you're not serious again, are you? These are all my students, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Students?" Old Wei suddenly realized.
He knew Qi Mi and knew that she would not leave inexplicably, nor would she come back without a reason, so he asked, "It seems that you came in by accident this time?"
"Yeah." Qi Mi took out his phone, clicked on the photo and showed it to Lao Wei, "Two of my colleagues and a few students also came in together, but they're separated now."
Lao Wei fiddled with the phone for a few times and handed it back: "Don't worry, Xiao Ye has already told me about this. I have asked those junior purification officers to keep an eye out outside."
"Yes, thank you."
At this point, Old Wei returned to the point and extended an olive branch to Qi's fans: "But you still have to take care of this matter yourself. After all, those purification officers have no relationship with these people, so they won't be very dedicated to helping you find them... The best way is for you to become a purification officer and go out and find them yourself."
