Chapter 57

Ten minutes ago.

Angsi woke up from the water prison of the Military Department, immediately called people to block the Military Department, and then reported to Luka.

"Colonel, I'm sorry, I was too careless. He said he would tell me the whereabouts of the cubs, and also said that if we didn't go find them, the cubs would starve to death. I thought he was wearing electronic shackles and had no mental power, so I fell into his trick. When I woke up, he had already run away."

Luka knew that Angsi was not a careless person at all. He fell into Zongfang's trap because Zongfang was willing to loosen his mouth to provide the whereabouts of the cubs. After all, he had interrogated him three times and gained nothing. Angsi was actually thinking for him.

He gave Angsi some precautions and intended to return to the Military Department immediately, but stopped after walking out the door.

Zongfang was cunning, agile, and paranoid. If he really escaped, Luka thought he would definitely find Qiao Suisui again. So he quickly returned to the small building and informed Laiboli to come over as soon as possible. This way, at least one person could be by her side, so as not to give Zongfang a chance to take action.

Luka decided to wait for Laiboli to arrive before returning to the Military Department to investigate.

Qiao Suisui heard him briefly explain the process, and her originally good mood was swept away.

"Suisui..." Luka hesitated, his eyes full of worry and guilt as he looked at her. "Before I catch Zongfang, have you considered moving back to the Huangting?"

Qiao Suisui was startled and immediately guessed that Laiboli should have reached some kind of consensus with Luka, but she could understand it after thinking about it carefully. Even if the people from the Military Department were stationed here, they couldn't beat an SSS-level male, not to mention that Zongfang didn't play by the rules. Luka couldn't guard her all the time, not to mention Laiboli; the new regime had just been established, and he needed to make decisions in all aspects. At this time, letting her return to the Huangting was indeed the best choice.

She lowered her eyes and pondered, and Luka hugged her when he saw this.

"I know you don't like being restrained, I promise you, I will definitely catch Zongfang, find our cubs, and not let you be threatened by Zongfang again."

"Even if it's not Zongfang, there will be others." Qiao Suisui buried her face in his chest, her voice muffled. "I can go to the Huangting, but I need some time."

"Really?"

Luka breathed a sigh of relief when he saw she wasn't repulsed.

Qiao Suisui nodded.

The ideological education she received as a modern woman told her that it was sad that her value could only be measured by childbirth. But she had to live. She didn't want to be trapped in one place all the time, even if that place was called protection. So after coming to this world, even though she didn't want to have children at first, she still actively adapted and made changes, because she firmly believed that everything could be created. The meaning of childbirth to her was to become strong, and there was no more meaning beyond that. This was also why she didn't even name these cubs, because she didn't want to add more meaning to them.

Originally, the inn business was on the right track, and she was happy that she finally had a means of making a living. Plus, now that she had talent and mental power, ordinary low-level beastmen couldn't hurt her, but Zongfang's escape was like a basin of cold water, waking her up.

She wasn't strong enough yet.

Because she wasn't strong enough, she was controlled by others and had no choice.

Luka was comforting her softly at this moment, not seeing the firm and calm light flashing in Qiao Suisui's eyes.

Laiboli brought a team of royal private guards to rush over. At this moment, outside the inconspicuous two-story small building, there were not only people from the Military Department but also royal guards, which was a bit like "there is no treasure here," as if telling others: Come quickly, there is a treasure here.

But Laiboli and Luka couldn't care about so much anymore, because her safety was the first priority.

"I want to wait until this batch of tenants is settled before leaving," she said.

Laiboli wanted to persuade her to leave now, but was blocked by Luka.

"Okay, you get ready, we can set off at any time."

Luka understood her, which was why he wanted to give her the maximum freedom. Laiboli frowned, feeling that doing so was simply creating extra trouble, but seeing Qiao Suisui's smile, he couldn't say anything even if it was on the tip of his tongue. He sighed and thought: Just this once, as long as she is happy.

Luka drove the flying ship back to the Military Department. Laiboli had a meeting that he had to attend. Before going upstairs, he pinched her face and said he would come to accompany her later. Qiao Suisui stayed in the first-floor living room and just happened to take the robot butler rewarded by the system out of the storage grid.

A round, white robot jumped before her eyes. It didn't have a human body, but was more like a bucket. The head part had a whole circle of black electronic screens, the eyes were a string of pixel graphics, and in standby state, they were two vertical lines, which would turn into two curves when happy. Its lower body was a cabinet that could be opened, and the capacity inside looked not small, able to hold a large bucket of barreled water.

"Master, I am number 6867, what are your instructions? ()"

Qiao Suisui felt novel and asked: "What can you do?"

"I can transport items, clean up, provide dialogue services, and connect directly to your optical computer. You can see everything I see through my camera. (_)"

"6867, can you help me watch the house?"

"Of course, I have an electric shock mode. If I encounter illegal intruders, I will issue an alarm and attack immediately, but my attack power is relatively low. (_)"

That was enough. Qiao Suisui touched 6867's head and said satisfactorily: "Thank you for your hard work. I will be away for a while. Please help me watch the house. If the guests have any needs, try to satisfy them."

"Leave it to me (_)"

6867 quickly entered the working state, not only efficiently cleaning every room but also preparing nutrient solutions for the two doctors.

Qiao Suisui felt that this reward was simply a stroke of genius. Then she studied the bamboo building and sky bridge given to her by the system and found that these two things could be used together. The bamboo building was placed next to the two-story small building, and then the sky bridge was used to connect the small building and the bamboo building, directly opening them up, thus completing the expansion.

Now her inn could only rent out four rooms, but with the bamboo building, she could rent out eight more rooms.

She lay on the window excitedly, looking at the location. To place the bamboo building out of the storage grid, the weeds and vegetation around the small building must be cleaned up.

It would be fine to take out a robot suddenly, just say it was bought on the Star Network. Although Aosilan didn't have the habit of using robots, the Federation headquarters already had robot factories as assembly lines, so it could be covered up. But suddenly taking out a building, anyone would be suspicious...

Qiao Suisui was calculating to herself when the doorbell suddenly rang.

6867 had already pressed the video doorbell very insightfully, asking who was coming, and the safety awareness was very in place.

When Qiao Suisui walked over, she heard a somewhat familiar voice coming from the video doorbell.

"Hello, we booked a room here."
