"Then... I'll stay away. Come on, Xiao Qin! Don't let them get away with it!"
Although Shi Jiu didn't know what he had been through, judging from Qin Lou's mood, she had never seen him so serious except when he first came, although he was cold most of the time.
This was his family affair, and she felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so she left while biting her candied haws. When she opened the door, she happened to meet Qin Tian coming in with his men.
"Hey, isn't this the guy who questioned the problem with my cafeteria before?" Shi Jiu couldn't help but say a few sarcastic words to Qin Tian when she saw his disgusting face.
How could Qin Tian dare to continue to go against her? The feeling of being unable to move his whole body yesterday was as vivid in his memory as the suffocating feeling that Qin Lou brought him. He lowered his head in a hurry and didn't dare to speak.
Shi Jiu just said a few words and left. There was still some time, so he decided to go and see the bustling atmosphere on the street.
Qin Tian waited until Shi Jiu left before he dared to stand up and walk in with Qin Peng and the others.
Hu Lanjia saw the young and beautiful Shi Jiu, who was clean and tidy, and looked completely unaffected by the apocalypse. She was extremely jealous and couldn't help asking Qin Tian, "Who was that woman just now?"
"The boss here!" Qin Tian only dared to say in a low voice, and then walked into the office.
Hu Lanjia, who was walking behind, was a little disdainful after hearing this, "What kind of boss is this? He's so young, but I don't know what tricks he used..." Before he could finish his words, he felt his body was completely out of control and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Ouch!" Hu Lanjia was caught off guard and fell headfirst, her face hitting the floor, making a sound that was so painful that even those around her could hear it.
The three people from the Qin family did not step forward to help her, nor did they say a word of concern. Their attention was all on the man in front of them.
"Xiaolou, you..." Qin Peng looked at Qin Lou, who was looking at them with an imposing manner and a cold expression, and called out hesitantly, but was immediately interrupted by Qin Lou.
"What do you want from me?" Qin Lou held a candied haws in one hand, which was quite contradictory to his temperament.
"How dare you talk like that, nephew? He is your father after all!" Qin Tian subconsciously used the aura of an elder to suppress him, but his eyes immediately retracted when they met his. Forget it, this is not his son, he can't control it.
"Father? Don't you even consider whether he's worthy of it?" Qin Lou sneered, turning his gaze to Qin Hang who was standing silently on the side, disgust in his eyes.
When Qin Hang arrived at the scene, he found that the atmosphere was completely different from what he had imagined. Although he had activated his superpower, which was the lightning-type with relatively strong attack power, the resources in the shelter were limited and the food was average. He was also lazy every day and did not persist in training, resulting in his superpower only having one shot at most.
Hu Lanjia finally managed to get up, enduring the pain. Her teeth felt loose and there was a bloody taste in her mouth. Seeing Qin Lou sitting at the desk, anger burned in her heart.
"You are so brave, Qin Lou! How dare you do this to me!" A blazing flame instantly rose in her hand, and her fire ability rose in the room, and the air became dry.
Qin Peng saw this and immediately grabbed her hand, "What are you doing!"
"What are you doing? He has no intention of recognizing us. He didn't even say hello when he came in. He even tripped me on purpose just now. Isn't he just trying to get revenge on me?" Hu Lanjia felt the pain and her mind became much clearer. They actually pinned their hopes on the stepson whom they had bullied before.
"She's quite right. I just wanted to take revenge on you. Thanks to Qin Tian, I was able to find you without any effort."
Qin Lou generously acknowledged Hu Lanjia's statement and stood up under the panicked gazes of the crowd. "You don't think that after doing that to me before, I would still be grateful to you..."
As he spoke, a white light flashed in his hand, and everyone at the scene except Qin Tian also experienced the same feeling of suffocation that he had experienced in the morning.
But Qin Lou didn't want to get rid of them like this. It would not only dirty his hands, but also make things easier for them.
So a minute later, the confined space was taken back. Qin Tian, who was standing next to him, watched the whole process and was completely dumbfounded. He was only confined for about ten seconds this morning, but the feeling of suffocation was too deep, so when he saw Qin Peng and the others struggling, he subconsciously hugged himself to give himself a sense of security.
"Ahem...Qin Lou! I...I am your father!" Qin Peng didn't expect Qin Lou to start fighting as soon as he said so, without considering the father-son relationship at all.
"When I was locked up in the basement, I think I asked you for help. What was your reaction then?" Qin Lou walked up to him, squatted down, and looked directly at Qin Peng.
Qin Peng heard his words, covered his neck and gasped for breath, not daring to respond, his eyes evasive, "You... when did you ask for help?"
"So... you knew I was locked up by them?" Qin Lou heard the second half of his response, tacitly acknowledging the first half, and his disgust for him increased even more.
Qin Peng choked. Qin Lou didn't look at him again, but turned his gaze to Qin Hang who was hiding behind Hu Lanjia.
"Qin Hang, weren't you so arrogant in front of me before? What's wrong? Why are you hiding behind your mother? If you have the guts, come out and fight me now!" Qin Lou looked at his half-brother sarcastically.
The wounds on his body had healed long ago, but he believed he would never forget the pain and humiliation he suffered at that time.
Qin Hang, who was originally so arrogant, didn't dare to look at him at all. He hid behind Hu Lanjia, as if he could avoid Qin Lou's interrogation in this way.
Hu Lanjia, who was standing in front of him, coughed violently several times and protected her son while gasping for breath. "What do you want to do? Revenge on us? You are not afraid of being struck by lightning, and you even don't let your own father and brother go!"
Hearing Hu Lanjia's words, Qin Lou laughed as if she had heard something ridiculous. Even a shameless person like Qin Tian was trembling beside her and couldn't help but cast a stupid look at her.
"This is really funny to hear, Hu Lanjia, don't you feel any pain in your conscience when you say this? Oh, I forgot, you don't have any of these things, and you don't have any sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity or shame." After Qin Lou finished speaking, he stood up and waved his hand, asking the assistant at the door to bring people in.
"Throw them all into the small dark room." Qin Lou didn't want to see them again. As for how to punish them, he had already thought of a plan.
Qin Peng and the other two were forcibly taken out. As for Qin Tian, who was standing aside, the worst thing he had done before was probably always coming over to give bad advice. However, if Qin Peng hadn't had that intention, the final outcome wouldn't have been like this. The boss had also taught him a lesson about the cafeteria incident later. Now...
"As for you..." Qin Lou wanted to get rid of it once and for all, so why not just go into the small dark room directly.
Qin Tian's intuition told him that if he didn't say something, he might never see the light of day again, so he quickly fell to his knees.
"Butler Qin, please let me go! I...I just came here to make a living and seek a place to live. Let me go, I will never appear in front of you again. I will clarify our relationship directly to the public. I...I just lost my mind and recognized the wrong person. You and I have nothing to do with each other! Not at all..."
As Qin Tian's voice grew quieter, Qin Lou finally decided, "I don't want to see you again. If something like this happens again, just go and accompany them. You can refer to the scene in the small dark room on the HDTV in the lobby."
After saying that, he waved his hand and let him go out. Qin Tian saw that he still had a chance to survive, so he crawled and rolled out of the office. As if a ghost was chasing him, he ran downstairs in panic, and only then did he realize that he was sweating all over.
He touched his sticky forehead and saw the guard next to him. Thinking of what he had just said, he rushed forward and grabbed the guard and hurriedly explained: "Butler Qin has nothing to do with me. I recognized the wrong person. He has nothing to do with me. He has nothing to do with me, do you know?!"
The guard was confused, looking at Qin Tian who seemed a little mentally ill. Thinking of what he saw this morning, it was hard to imagine that a person could change so much in one day.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Qin Tian repeated what he had just said, forcing the guard to say that he understood.
"It's good to know... It's good to know..." His eyes were blank, and he muttered, then he took his things and left. He wanted to rent a house for himself first...
"You're crazy..."
Qin Lou looked at the time and found that the performance that Shi Jiu mentioned was about to begin, so he simply set a simple punishment for the three people in the small dark room, and then rushed to meet Shi Jiu.
Shi Jiu was standing in front of the street, holding a cup of milk tea in her hand. In this cold weather, a cup of hot milk tea always makes people happy. When she raised her eyes, she saw Qin Lou walking towards her.
"Xiao Qin! Over here!" She waved to him while holding a cup of milk tea, indicating that he should come over here.
"Boss, sorry to have kept you waiting." When Qin Lou arrived, the performance had just begun.
"It's okay, okay, half-sugar milk tea. This one is not very sweet. I think it's good. Want to try it?" Shi Jiu had finished the candied haws long ago and bought two cups of milk tea.
Qin Lou once again took the food that Shi Jiu handed to him. He had never drunk such a drink before. The warm liquid slid down his esophagus and flowed into his stomach. The coldness that he had brought from going out was instantly dispelled, and even his tense spirit relaxed.
"It tastes quite good..." Qin Lou responded.
"Have those things been resolved?" Shi Jiu could see the fatigue in his eyes and his spirit was a little depressed on the busy street.
"Well, that's enough. There shouldn't be any other accidents later." He didn't plan to release the three people. Let them repent in there.
The two of them didn't talk about these things anymore, and time passed in the wonderful performance.
When they went back to rest at night, Shi Jiu specifically asked Qin Lou to go back and rest first, and let her finish up at the main building.
Qin Lou didn't force himself. He also felt quite tired today, so he went back to wash up and rest.
What he didn't expect was that after he threw the person into the small dark room, he didn't notice that the room he opened at that time was the theme of related dream memories, so as soon as he lay down, he fell into a dream.
After Shi Jiu finished dealing with the matters in the main building, he returned to his room and wanted to see if there was anything else that needed to be dealt with on the tablet. He unexpectedly found a red dot coming out of the small dark room.
After clicking it, I saw a new theme. Different from the previous farmland and deep sea themes, it was a more illusory, dream theme.
It might have been updated together with the deep-sea scene, but it was more self-determined, so Shi Jiu didn't know.
It showed that there were three people inside. Shi Jiu thought that besides Qin Tian, there should be three other people who entered Qin Lou's office tonight.
The small black room showed that the punishment was currently in effect. She was a little curious about what the punishment was like. After searching for a long time, she didn't see any explanation or screen projection, but she did see an immersive experience.
Shi Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still clicked it, and the next second the world was spinning around him.
The author has something to say:
The next chapter will probably tell the whole story. Let Shi Jiu go and save Xiao Qin. Hehe~
