Chapter 361 Ali is Entrapping Law Enforcers
"Go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things for you." Qu Tong unlocked the car door.
Xu An, who had been feeling a little uneasy, felt much more at ease after hearing Qu Tong's words.
Before the two could say anything, several men in black with their faces covered surrounded them.
Xu An had already consumed the energy liquid and was still in peak condition.
Even if he's not at his peak, Qu Tong won't let anything happen to him.
Qu Tong was texting Xuan Ping when someone, oblivious to her presence, raised a large knife and slashed at her.
Qu Tong didn't even raise her head. A leaf with a green glow flashed by, and the black-clad man's overly excited eyes turned to horror, then dimmed and became lifeless.
The others seemed surprised that their companion had fallen so quickly, and looked around in astonishment, trying to find the master hidden in the shadows.
The enemy was timid and hesitant, but Xu An became more courageous with each setback. The originally weaker side gradually found a breakthrough and, with Qu Tong's help, defeated the remaining five people one by one.
Qu Tong looked at the other five people who had been knocked unconscious, said nothing, and waited for Xuan Ping and the others to arrive.
In the following days, Qu Tong was not idle either. She didn't like going out normally, but in order to create opportunities for the enemy, she would go out for a stroll whenever she had free time.
Gu Xiuxuan, who had been idle all along, finally came in handy.
Qu Tong didn't call the police. When the Lan family sent people, she would take them and not let any of them go back.
Taking advantage of Gu Xiu, those with criminal records were killed, and those without were imprisoned.
She even specifically asked Si Yuting to withdraw the soldiers monitoring the Lan family.
She wanted to see just how many resources the Lan family had.
There are four courtyards in Yingyue Bay. When they were being renovated, many control rooms were built in the North Courtyard.
Si Yuting and the Empress were aware of this matter, but they turned a blind eye. The Empress even asked Si Yuting to arrange more people to protect Qu Tong, but Qu Tong politely declined.
Fewer people make it more attractive.
The Lan family wasn't stupid either; they knew to put pressure on Gu Xiu and send him away, and they specifically chose to strike when Si Yuting was busy.
They finally stopped after the two SS-level mercenaries sent by the Lan family failed to return.
Qu Tong looked at the two SS-level mercenaries in the control room with great satisfaction.
Qu Tong sat on a chair by the door, lazily crossing one leg, took the documents Hu Qing handed her, glanced at one of the young faces, and casually read aloud:
Lou Xiaochuan, 26 years old, whose deceased biological parents were both space pirates, was adopted by a couple from a remote planet when he was ten years old. He was admitted to the Fourth Military Academy at the age of 18, but was forced to withdraw from school six months later due to his involvement in a campus violence incident.
...
"Afterwards, he worked as a mercenary and applied for a security guard job. Two years later, he joined a pirate gang. He was arrested and imprisoned not long after, and was released a year later."
Qu Tong looked up and stared again at the young man who hadn't shown any expression from beginning to end: "Physique A? You used someone else's personal terminal?"
The young man still didn't react; he didn't even lift his eyelids.
Qu Tong wasn't annoyed. She said calmly, "How much did the Apothecary Guild give you? I'll give you double. How about you become my brother's bodyguard?"
Lou Xiaochuan glanced at Qu Tong, as if assessing something. After finishing his assessment, he looked away, clearly uninterested.
Upon seeing this, Qu Tong seemed to understand.
The Pharmacists' Guild has one, but she doesn't.
"this?"
Qu Tong took something out of the spatial button.
Not only did Lou Xiaochuan look over, but Gu Xiu, Hu Qing, and the others beside him couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"I've protected my brother for two years, how about I give you this potion?"
Qu Tong specifically displayed the inspection labels on the medicine.
Lou Xiaochuan stared at Qu Tong for a long while before speaking with difficulty: "You need to give me the medicine first. My mental state is not good, otherwise I won't be able to exert my SS-level strength."
Qu Tong thought Lou Xiaochuan couldn't speak, as she hadn't seen him speak before in the Yaoguang Star System. It turned out he had injured his throat.
Lou Xiaochuan's voice was hoarse, rough like sandpaper scraping a wall, and if you listened to it in a dark environment, it would give you a rather creepy feeling.
This sounded like a condition only a fool would agree to, but Qu Tong knew that Lou Xiaochuan's mental energy was indeed very chaotic, probably caused by taking some kind of drug to suppress mental turmoil.
If the medicine isn't taken in time, not only will he not be able to unleash his SS-level strength, but he might not even be able to recover from the mental breakdown.
But if you give it, whether you will keep your promise and do your best afterwards depends entirely on your own conscience.
Qu Tong only lowered her head and pondered for a moment before agreeing and handing over the medicine directly.
Lou Xiaochuan slowly took the medicine, opened his hand, and looked a little dazed.
After a long while, he looked up at Qu Tong again, his face full of doubt.
Is it... really that simple?
Qu Tong chuckled lightly: "The time can be extended when it's up, and the remuneration will remain the same."
Lou Xiaochuan nodded mechanically.
Qu Tong returned to her seat, pulled out another document, and looked at another person in the control room.
The middle-aged man with a full beard, seeing Qu Tong looking over, immediately withdrew his eager gaze from the potion in Lou Xiaochuan's hand, straightened his back, and said firmly, "If you want me to work for you, you must first pay for the potion."
"You?" Qu Tong glanced at her disdainfully and said sneer, "A fugitive who raped and murdered a young girl, you dare to say you're worthy?"
The middle-aged man immediately flew into a rage: "I'm an SS-level expert..."
Qu Tong didn't give him a chance to finish speaking. She unlocked Lou Xiaochuan's strong magnetic handcuffs and said in a cold and ruthless voice, "Kill him."
"You dare! You little bitch, just wait until I get out of here..."
The cursing was still going on behind him, but Qu Tong had already left the control room.
The personal terminal lit up with a message from Si Yuting: "I'm waiting for you at the door."
Qu Tong arranged for Gu Xiu to watch over Lou Xiaochuan, while she boarded Si Yuting's flying vehicle.
Qu Tong was preoccupied with something and didn't notice Si Yuting's outstretched hand.
Si Yuting raised an eyebrow and withdrew his hand.
Back at Yue Lan Bay, after Si Yuting finished his remaining work, he noticed Qu Tong still staring blankly at her water glass. He then asked, "What are you thinking about, Ali?"
"I'm thinking about how to make the Lan family lose their military trump card," Qu Tong answered subconsciously.
After speaking, Qu Tong realized with a start that she had voiced her innermost thoughts.
Si Yuting sat at the other end of the sofa, his eyes clear and devoid of any extra emotion, as if he had just heard something insignificant.
Qu Tong suddenly stood up, walked to Si Yuting, put one hand on Si Yuting's shoulder, leaned slightly forward, and asked teasingly, "Does Your Highness think I'm a bad woman?"
Si Yuting looked up at Qu Tong, his eyes slightly narrowed, a smile on his lips but a wary look in his eyes, making him so angry he wanted to hit her.
But I couldn't bear to part with it.
"Won't."
"real?"
"Is Ali entrapping law enforcement?"
Si Yuting glared at Qu Tong with annoyance, then pulled her down and made her sit on his lap.
Do I look like someone who can't distinguish right from wrong?
Qu Tong thought about it carefully: "Your Highness seems like the kind of person who would put aside family ties for the greater good."
"Then you have a pretty high opinion of me."
Qu Tong stopped joking. Since Si Yuting was on her side, Qu Tong simply asked directly, "After Lan Xingrui stepped down, who is in charge of the Fifth Legion now?"
