Xia Chuhe: [Okay, it's my honor to receive your summons]
Xia Chuhe carried Mr. Zhao's things home first to put them away before going to Mingxiang's house.
Mingxiang: "My faucet is broken, can you fix it?"
Xia Chuhe subconsciously replied, "I'll get someone to fix it for you."
Mingxiang: "Expensive."
Xia Chuhe: "I'll treat you."
Mingxiang: "I don't like strangers coming into my house."
Xia Chuhe: "...Okay."
Xia Chuhe wanted to teach Mingxiang a lesson on the spot, but Mingxiang was sharing an apartment and his roommate could come back at any time.
If it's inconvenient to take action, it's easier to trick them into going to their own home.
Xia Chuhe said, "I didn't bring my toolbox. Why don't you stay at my house for today? I'll bring my toolbox and fix it for you tomorrow."
Mingxiang pointed to the top of the shoe cabinet: "I have a toolbox at home."
Xia Chuhe muttered, "You won't fix it yourself."
Mingxiang gave a half-smile: "Dirty."
Xia Chuhe: "..."
She remembered the rule that she had to reply, and gritted her teeth as she replied with "Okay".
Xia Chuhe checked the toolbox; it was excellent, fully equipped. Besides the usual screwdrivers and adjustable wrenches, there were pipe wrenches and pipe expanders. Next to the toolbox were unopened, brand-new faucets and pipes—all that was missing was a worker.
Worker Xia Chuhe carried a toolbox, a new faucet, turned off the water pipe valve, and removed the old faucet.
Xia Chuhe turned his head and glanced at Ming Xiang, who was standing at the bathroom door, looking quite relaxed.
Xia Chuhe shoved the old faucet into Mingxiang's hand: "Throw it in the trash can."
Mingxiang took the old faucet and walked towards the trash can in the living room.
Xia Chuhe quickly took out the pipe wrench from his toolbox, clamped it tightly on the pipe above the valve, and created a noticeable notch.
Then she quickly put the pipe wrench back and pretended to replace the faucet.
After replacing the faucet, Xia Chuhe didn't turn on the valve: "Okay, you try turning on the valve."
Mingxiang shook his head: "No."
Xia Chuhe raised the heavy adjustable wrench and said gently, "I'm tired of squatting, could you turn on the valve?"
The wrench was right above Mingxiang's head; if he refused, it would fall without mercy.
Mingxiang's head was buzzing; the concussion he'd suffered the night before hadn't healed yet...
He immediately succumbed to Xia Chuhe's tyranny: "Open."
As soon as the water valve was turned on, water gushed out from the broken pipe, splashing Mingxiang's face.
Mingxiang plopped down on the ground.
Xia Chuhe feigned surprise: "Oh dear, turn it off quickly! The pipe is broken too, we need to replace it with a new one, do you have one at home?"
Mingxiang quickly tightened the valve; the water pipe must have just broken!
Mingxiang stood up angrily: "Xia Chuhe!"
Xia Chuhe asked innocently, "If there aren't any new water pipes, are you going to stay at my place tonight?"
Mingxiang laughed angrily: "Fine."
"That's great," Xia Chuhe said.
Great! Li Qiusheng and 02 are waiting for her at home.
Mingxiang followed Xia Chuhe home, and as soon as he entered the house, 02 tore it to pieces.
Xia Chuhe picked up Mingxiang's knuckle. Beneath the skin-like surface, there were fine tubes representing blood vessels and ceramic-like artificial bones.
"It's incredibly precise," Xia Chuhe exclaimed.
02 was extremely proud: "There was a small chip in his brain that was misplaced, and I fixed it for him."
Xia Chuhe: "It's fine if he doesn't recover. He's currently suffering from a concussion; I caused it when he fell."
02: "I don't know exactly what's controlling their emotions. I've reinstalled it, but I can't guarantee it will work."
Xia Chuhe stopped 02 from acting: "Don't pretend. I was really shocked the other day. Let's leave it for now and pretend again tomorrow morning."
Before Mingxiang was removed, Xia Chuhe had to keep the vibration and maximum volume alarm on while sleeping, for fear of being shocked.
Tonight, I can finally get a good night's sleep.
But right now, there are things more important than sleeping.
Xia Chuhe deleted Mr. Zhao's phone password, intending to use it to lure out Ai Dong, the person behind the scenes.
On the phone, the chat history between the two remained on the meeting results sent by Mr. Zhao, who concluded that Xia Chuhe's phone was lost.
Xia Chuhe stared at the chat history, pondering Ai Dong's true purpose.
Why is Ai Dong so concerned about her private life?
Because of Mingxiang?
The minister may not know the identity of Mingxiang Robot, but Chairman Ai should, right?
Mingxiang...
Xia Chuhe remembered that the minister had called her to a meeting earlier that day, and her heart tightened; she had forgotten something.
02 As soon as Vega Company finished disassembling the robot, Wujiang Company was able to immediately know the robot's last location before it was disassembled.
Now, Mingxiang's house has been dismantled.
Wujiang Company must have found out by now.
Xia Chuhe was extremely annoyed. She had been too impatient, focusing only on completing the task assigned by Cupid and forgetting about the company.
The other teammates in the group completely ignored Wujiang Company, and no one remembered that insignificant technical meeting.
Cupid... Company...
Two seemingly unrelated things placed together, yet Xia Chuhe always felt there must be a connection between them. But she couldn't grasp that connection; she couldn't find the link.
It's too late to restore Mingxiang now; they need to leave immediately.
Xia Chuhe's expression was stern: "We forgot one thing: the company can see that Mingxiang has been demolished."
Li Qiusheng, being carefree, hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter: "So what if they demolished it? It's not like it's the first time."
“Mingxiang’s identity is different from the other robots. His identity is more confidential, and he may be more important to the company.” Xia Chuhe didn’t have time to explain further. “We have to leave quickly.”
02 quickly asked, "Does the person need to be rehabilitated?"
Xia Chuhe thought for a moment, then casually picked up a handful of parts from Mingxiang's body: "No, just leave them here, let's go."
Just as the three were about to leave, and Li Qiusheng had just put his hand on the doorknob, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Open the door! Love City Police. We received a report that your house is disturbing the peace. Open the door now!"
The knocking was very loud.
Regardless of whether they were police officers or not, Xia Chuhe did not want to confront them directly.
She glanced down from the window; it was the fourth floor. She couldn't just jump.
She needs a rope.
It's best to use rope with a claw hook.
Xia Chuhe's farm and combat pack both contain this rope, but this instance took away their watches and combat packs.
She needs a rope, even if it's just a rope twisted from a bed sheet.
The knocking sounded again: "Open the door quickly."
Xia Chuhe understood their unspoken message: if they didn't open the door soon, they were going to force their way in.
She really needed a rope; there were several ropes with hooks on the shelf in the farm warehouse.
Xia Chuhe frowned, a huge anxiety and longing engulfing her, breaking through the limitations imposed by external things.
Three ropes with claw hooks appeared in her hand.
