That little golden-haired guy! He’s the one who touched my heart!』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden hair… the Lyon family has had golden hair for generations; right now, only one man in the room has golden hair—so is the sheep organ in the Lyon family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cast an idle glance at the middle-aged golden-haired man, memorizing his build and features, then lowered his head slightly, shielding most of his face with his hat brim, and hurried toward the woman collapsed on the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not recognizing the guard as an acquaintance, the girl with a baby face, utterly panicked at her mother’s convulsions, grabbed Leon’s arm and cried out frantically:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go get a doctor! Call someone! Lift her up and take her to…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t move her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having quickly assessed the middle-aged woman’s condition and recognized it as likely epilepsy, Leon had hesitated whether to help—he feared intervening might expose his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But remembering what he’d overheard outside: that the Charles Department Store’s lady seemed willing to shoulder compensation for the public water pipe incident, Leon decided to prevent further complications and shouted to stop the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After directing her to lay the woman flat, tilt her head to one side to prevent choking on saliva, Leon stood and scanned the room, then tore a cloth from a nearby sofa cushion, rolled it into a tube, and shoved it between the woman’s teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s enough… hold her chin up slightly, loosen any tight clothing—keep her airway open!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes! I’ll hold it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In emergencies, people fear most not clear danger, but total uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively following Leon’s instructions and completing the steps, the girl with the baby face, now facing the only person who had given a clear answer, instinctively turned her tear-filled eyes toward him and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what? What else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then wait a few minutes and see if she recovers on her own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving a few instructions to the other “temporary guard” to fetch a cart just in case, Leon crouched low and whispered reassurance:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve seen this before. As long as she doesn’t choke on saliva or bite her tongue, she’ll usually recover within minutes. If she doesn’t improve, keep this position and push her to a doctor—there’s little risk of death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay! Thank you… thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing there was no risk of death, the girl’s tense heart finally eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling her legs go weak, she collapsed backward with a thud like a duck onto the carpet, still holding her mother’s chin, tears streaming as she kept thanking Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this seemed complex, but took less than a minute; when the others in the room saw the woman’s condition seemed under control, they all exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colluding to seize Charles Department Store’s assets was just a business matter; though many rules were broken, the three of them working together could easily suppress any retaliation. But if Madame Charles suffered a heart attack and died right here, the nature of the matter would change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Times are no longer what they used to be—no longer can a noble title silence a merchant. If this truly exploded and rallied the entire Business Alliance against them, the three of them might face a joint merchant boycott.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Business Alliance holds many parliamentary seats—it’s a political force not to be underestimated. If these people felt threatened and united, combined with old Charles’s maneuvering as vice-chairman, the three of them might be in deep trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a major crisis averted before it erupted, several directors beamed with joy; the hydro company’s meeting chairperson, breathing a long sigh of relief, smiled at Leon:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your salary for this month is doubled! Go find your department’s… uh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this strange employee dressed in a security uniform but carrying a large broom, the chairperson frowned in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which department are you from? Security or Cleaning?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Security! I’m from Security.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again donning the simple, earnest smile he’d learned from the coffee cart old man, Leon lowered his head with a bashful, innocent expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lately there’ve been disturbances outside. Our manager feared unsavory types might sneak in and disturb our guests, so he assigned us to guard the door—and if any emergency arose, we could step in. Didn’t expect it’d actually be needed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding in satisfaction, the meeting chairperson waved him off:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re from Security, go find your manager, Andrew. Tell him your salary is doubled this month—and future pay will be raised 30% above base! That’s all, you’re dismissed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he despised the lot in the room, this trip had yielded information, confirmed the location of one sheep organ, and would soon give him evidence of the hydro company’s violations—Leon knew when to quit while ahead. He pressed down his hat brim, grabbed his broom, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something strange happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Leon turned to go, the sheep’s head in his shopping bag swayed slightly with the motion, its sharp horn slicing through the bag again, tumbling out with a thud and landing squarely on the carpet, staring directly at the directors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(⊙?⊙)?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(⊙?⊙)?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(⊙?⊙)?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait… this scene feels familiar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… sorry, my wife loves sheep head soup. I bought it at the morning market—I’m taking it home after work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a completely unflinching face, Leon told the same terrible lie as before, then swiftly bent down, snatched up the sheep’s head, and prepared to flee while they were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, his security uniform jacket was too short, and the pocket sat noticeably high; as he bent over, the ID card in his front chest pocket slid out with uncanny precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It bounced cheerfully twice on the carpet, tracing a mischievous arc, then landed directly before the directors’ eyes—the distinctive emblem of the Police Department gleaming brightly under the lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(?｀?Д?′)!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(?｀?Д?′)!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(?｀?Д?′)!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn’t over yet. At this most critical moment, a heavy thud echoed from outside the meeting room door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the wide-open door, the guest lying on the floor foaming at the mouth, and Leon bending over to pick up the Police Department ID, the security manager, returning from the archives, instantly broke down. He dropped his files, pointed at Leon, and screamed in pale-faced terror:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not me! He forced me to do it! I knew nothing!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1168,"2026-06-20T03:18:28.556Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","620d300ab96ae6f4b1dfb70ac984d99e106a3917d01ebe7349cd992b7efa06a5","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-40","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-38",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
