Elder brother's garrison

Page 1710

Outside the door, the black-clad ship girls stood in neat rows.

"Admiral Lu, we just heard some...not very friendly noises coming from inside." The leading black-clad ship girl looked embarrassed. Seeing Xiaobai and the other two come out, she quickly asked Xiaobai, "Did that protector attack you?"

"Yes, yes, he stabbed me with a knife." Xiaobai nodded.

"Huh? Is that so!" The black-clad ship girls' eyes widened in shock upon hearing this, their faces filled with anger. "Admiral Lu Lin, we'll go in right now and settle things for you!"

"No need, York has already protected me. She even did a little self-defense." Xiaobai scratched her cheek and smiled at the black-clad ship girl. "But the room is a bit messy right now, so I'll have to trouble you to go in and clean it up. Sorry."

"It's what we should do!" The black-clad ship girls nodded enthusiastically as soon as they heard Xiaobai's request.

"Then we'll be going now." Xiaobai and the other two waved and smiled at the black-clad ship girls before leaving the rooftop.

The black-clad ship girls watched as Xiaobai and her two companions descended the stairs. The smiles on their faces slowly faded, and they exchanged cold glances.

"I heard that the protector dared to draw a knife and injure Admiral Lu Lin?"

"It seems we've been too polite to him lately!"

"This is Admiral Lu Lin, even the Governor-General wouldn't dare speak loudly in her presence."

"How to do?"

"Fuck him!"

"Let him know he messed with someone he shouldn't have!"

The black-clad ship girls quickly reached a consensus, then rolled up their sleeves and rushed into the room in a flurry of activity.

The black-clad ship girls strode into the living room.

"Chen Rui! You actually—Eek?!!"

The black-clad ship girls originally intended to teach the man a lesson and let him experience the majesty of the Pacific Governor's Mansion. However, when they entered the living room, they found it in complete disarray, with the kitchen and bedroom littered with debris. There was no sign of the man in the entire suite; instead, there was only an unidentified object that was groaning, its face swollen purple like a pig's head, its consciousness blurred, and lying on the floor, barely breathing.

"Huh? What is this thing...?"

The black-clad ship girls covered their mouths and approached the pig-headed man, bending down to look at him for a long time before they could vaguely make out a little bit of Chen Rui's shadow.

"Good guy."

"That was ruthless."

The black-clad ship girls put their sleeves back down, marveling at the sight.

Judging from the situation, it seems they don't need to finish them off.

……

Upon arriving at the study, after explaining Chen Rui's situation, along with the diary they had taken from his bedroom, to Z31 and Fletcher, the three of them immediately received incredibly admiring looks from the two destroyers.

"No, as expected of Admiral Lu Lin!" Z31 held the diary she had taken from Xiao Bai, jumping up and down excitedly, as if she wanted to jump into Xiao Bai's arms. "You actually found so much evidence that we hadn't noticed on the person she was protecting in just one meeting! Admiral Lu Lin, you are amazing! You are a great detective!"

Fletcher, standing to the side, covered his mouth and nodded hastily, his eyes shining with admiration.

Xiao Bai quickly raised his hand and waved to the two destroyers: "No, I'm far from being a smart person. The reason I was able to detect that something was wrong with Chen Rui is simply because my admiral network is special and can be used as a lie detector."

Xiao Bai's admiral network does indeed have lie detector capabilities. Furthermore, if the Deep Sea Will were to operate it, it could even target and search the memories of sentient beings. However, Chen Rui is just an ordinary human obsessed with money; he doesn't possess mental power. Therefore, memory searching is ineffective on him. Otherwise, Xiao Bai would have only needed the Deep Sea Will to intervene, and the interrogation could have been avoided entirely.

"Oh, right, speaking of which, there's something I'd like you guys to do for me," Xiaobai asked Z31.

"What is it! Our Governor's Office will do everything in its power!" Z31 quickly raised his hands.

"Regarding the real person who filmed the Deep Sea Dean's video, I'm not sure if Chen Rui knows. But even if he does, he's unlikely to tell us. He's extremely tight-lipped about this kind of thing." Xiao Bai raised a finger. "However, the employees in Chen Rui's company probably know some information. Could you please investigate them in the name of the Governor's Office? I really need this information."

“Okay!” Fletcher, who was standing nearby, nodded quickly upon hearing this. “I’ll send someone to investigate right away!”

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiaobai smiled at Fletcher.

The two destroyers belonging to the Governor's Mansion, Fletcher in charge of foreign affairs and Z31 in charge of internal affairs, are two young girls, one young and mature and the other pure and lovely. Their work is clearly separate, but they help each other and manage the Governor's Mansion in an orderly manner.

Ugh.

Although my own Fubuki and the others are pretty good too.

However, there isn't even a rookie naval base that has a well-behaved and capable office destroyer.

Xiaobai is really envious.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but raise his hand again and rub Z31 and Fletcher's heads.

When Xiaobai and his two companions returned to the entrance of the tunnel in the attic, the green-haired ship girl who had previously guided them was there. When she saw Xiaobai and his companions again, she seemed to be much more polite.

"Admiral Lu, Lu Lin, you're back..." The green-haired ship girl scratched her cheek and smiled shyly at Xiaobai, "You were wearing a mask just now, so I didn't recognize you at first glance... Otherwise, I would have definitely carried you up!"

"It's alright, I didn't know you were from the Governor's Mansion." Xiaobai stopped in front of the green-haired ship girl, smiled at her, and then looked around. "Where's Salt Lake City?"

"Salt Lake City is still on guard duty outside; she hasn't returned yet," the green-haired ship girl replied honestly.

"Oh, that's a pity." Xiaobai took out a mask, put it on her face, and then smiled at the green-haired ship girl. "I wanted to say goodbye to her before I left and thank her for bringing me here."

"Haha, ha..." The green-haired ship girl scratched her cheek.

"What's your name?"

"Birds, Bird Sea..."

"Chokai, it's nice to meet you." Shiro murmured the green-haired ship girl's name and raised his hand to her. "I'll come see you again next time I'm here."

"Received!" Toriumi quickly straightened his chest and shook hands with Shiro.

After saying goodbye to Bird Sea, Xiaobai and his two companions pushed open the iron gate at the entrance of the tunnel and climbed down the stairs.

Outside the attic.

Inside the narrow alley.

A pair of fair hands pushed open the manhole cover, and a lithe figure leaped out, then bent down and reached into the opening.

"Admiral, give me your hand!"

York pulled Little White out of the sewer and gently lifted her out of the ditch.

Baltimore, who was finally climbing out, put the manhole cover back on, clapped his hands, and returned to Little White's side.

“Peicheng is so small, it really took quite a bit of time to meet a protector.” York stretched and walked out of the alley. “Admiral, what do we do next? If Chen Rui is a fraud, does that mean our trail has gone cold again? Should we wait for the Governor’s Office to finish investigating Chen Rui’s company?”

"It shouldn't take that long." Xiaobai patted the dust off his clothes and smiled at York. "Well, let's go back to find Miss Yu Gan now."

“Yu Gan… oh… Yu Gan… oh! Right!” York suddenly remembered this after being reminded by Xiao Bai. “Speaking of which, we were just saying that Miss Yu Gan’s behavior was a bit strange!”

"Miss Yu Gan's expression changed immediately when she heard that we were looking for the person who filmed the Deep Sea Dean's video," Baltimore interjected. "Hmm... to be honest, given her obvious reaction and the Admiral's recent discovery, it's hard for us not to think that Miss Yu Gan is involved in this matter. If we're lucky, we might even be able to find the real person who filmed the Deep Sea video through Miss Yu Gan's connections."

Chapter 2340 Yu Gan was bullied

Judging from Yu Gan's unusual behavior this morning, even if she has no direct connection to this matter, she is very likely to be an insider—after all, she is an unlicensed tour guide, with eyes and ears everywhere, and people in her line of work definitely know more about gossip than the average person.

As York and Baltimore talked, they gradually became more and more eager to try it out.

"Admiral, I can't wait to go back and see Miss Yu Gan!"

"Miss Yu Gan should still be waiting for us under that tree." Xiao Bai smiled at the ship girls, then took out her phone to check the time. "Hmm... It's been about two hours since we parted ways with Miss Yu Gan. I hope we haven't kept her waiting too long."

"It's only been two hours, nothing at all. I can treat Miss Yu Gan to morning tea when I get back."

"Yes, it's nice to chat about these things while having dim sum."

Are there any dim sum restaurants around here?

"I think so."

"I want shrimp dumplings! And I also want boat congee!"

The two ship girls chatted back and forth.

Xiao Bai and his two companions slowly retraced their steps.

Peicheng's so-called "rich area" covers a considerable area, with green hills and clear waters, and a leisurely landscape. The roads within the community are lined with dense artificial forests, and the buildings are mostly close together, hidden among these artificial forests in an irregular arrangement. Scattered among them are towering trees that are over ten meters tall. Although it cannot compare to the celebrity villa area where Xiaobai lives in Yuncheng, it can still be considered luxurious in a small city like Peicheng.

As Xiaobai and her two companions walked, they soon returned to the place where they had parted ways with Yu Gan.

At first glance, the familiar big trees stand tall by the roadside.

As Xiaobai and her two companions approached the large tree, they peered down at its base. Just as they took in the view of the scenery beneath the tree, some unexpected sights came into their view.

Under the big tree, Yu Gan, who hadn't been seen for two hours, was entangled with three or four men in security guard uniforms.

The men surrounding Yu Gan were roughly between twenty and thirty years old. They all had dark expressions and were talking to her, occasionally poking her shoulders and waist with their batons. Yu Gan stood in the middle of the men, her head bowed low, her expression unreadable. She offered no rebuttal to their accusations, simply clasping her hands together and listening quietly. Even when she occasionally lost her balance from being poked by a baton, she only stumbled a couple of steps before quickly regaining her footing and lowering her head even further.

"Hey!!! What are you doing!" York saw the scene and quickly hurried towards the tree. As she ran, she angrily shouted at the men beside Yu Gan, "Why are you bullying a little girl! Come at me if you dare!"

The men heard York's voice and all turned their gaze toward Little White.

Upon seeing Xiaobai and his two companions, the men's expressions seemed to worsen.

"Who are they? Are they tourists you brought?" The man standing in the middle ignored York. He simply pointed his baton at the three of them and questioned Yu Gan with an unfriendly expression, "So, can't you bunch of unlicensed tour guides have any public decency? This is a private residential area. What do you mean by bringing tourists here every day? Legitimate tour guides take tourists to tourist attractions, but you guys are always thinking about crooked ways and gossip. Don't you unlicensed tour guides know where all these shady characters in our community come from?"

"Hey!" York had already walked up to the man. She rolled up her sleeves and made as if she was about to reach out to the man who had just spoken.

"This is none of your business! Get out of here!" The man's eyes were still fixed on the silent Yu Gan. He waved the hand that York was reaching out from behind him, trying to shake it off.

But the next second, the man felt a buzzing in his head, his whole body lightened, and his vision was completely reversed.

Boom!

The man landed lightly on the ground.

The man seemed not to understand what had just happened. He lay on the ground, his eyes wide open in confusion as he looked up, only to see two straight, long, bare legs appear in his field of vision.

The man looked upwards.

York tossed the man's baton while looking down at the man on the ground.

"You, you dare to lay a hand on me!" The man on the ground finally understood what had just happened. He angrily sat up and glared at his companion. "She made a move, what are you all standing there for!"

The man's companions exchanged glances, then grabbed their batons and swung them at York.

The dark police batons whistled and hissed in the cold wind.

York glanced at the batons being swung at him from both sides and gave a soft hum.

York stepped forward lightly, tossed the baton in her hand into the air, and then her two hands moved like a phantom, sweeping over the men in the blink of an eye!

The men who attacked York felt their heads buzz, their bodies instantly lose their balance, and the world before their eyes turned upside down in an instant.

next second.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The men who attacked York, just like the men at the beginning, all fell to the ground, staring wide-eyed at York's bare legs.

Several police batons fell from the sky and landed steadily on York's right hand.

"A bunch of grown men bullying a little girl, how shameful!" York stretched out his left hand, pulled open his eyelids, made a face at the man lying on the ground, and stuck out his tongue.

Just then, Xiaobai and Baltimore arrived at the scene.

York, are you alright?

"It's alright, Miss Bai... cough cough!" York turned around and gave Xiao Bai a victory sign. "Although I don't know what happened, I've already dealt with the people who bullied Miss Yu Gan!"

"Wh...what bullying! We were just following the rules!" The men on the ground scrambled to their feet, the leader eyeing the baton in York's hand warily, but his mouth didn't stop. "But you! You can't tell right from wrong, you're just accomplices to evil! What are you really up to!"

"Huh?" York heard the man's voice, and his eyes flashed with displeasure once again.

When the men saw that York was about to get angry, they immediately took several steps back.

"Miss Bai!" Just then, a clear voice rang out.

Under everyone's gaze, Yu Gan hurriedly ran to York and quickly bowed to Xiao Bai and the other two.

“It’s not what you think, Miss Bai. Um… they’re security guards here. Because I violated the community rules by bringing people unrelated to this community, they questioned me like they did just now. This is my responsibility. Now that you’re out, Miss Bai, let’s leave quickly!” Yu Gan finished speaking to Xiao Bai and the other two, then turned around and bowed to the security guards apologizing, “I’m so sorry for causing you trouble today! I’ll leave with them now, please don’t take it to heart!”

"Yes, yes! That's the right attitude!" The men, who were intimidated by York, suddenly felt they had found the moral high ground upon seeing Yu Gan's apology, and they began to condemn him angrily. "Do you know how much trouble those people have caused us by coming to our neighborhood lately?! It's all because someone who filmed the Deep Sea Dean video lives in our neighborhood! These people come day and night, blocking the attic every day, turning our neighborhood into a marketplace! Do you know how many complaints we've received from residents?! Are you the only ones allowed to bring people here, but we're not allowed to ask any questions to these unlicensed guides?!"

"You call that what you just did 'asking a couple of questions,' right? You used batons to ask questions, right? I think your batons almost pierced through Miss Yu Gan!" York narrowed his eyes, his expression becoming even more hostile.

"This..." The men fell silent.

“Thank you, Miss York, but… but there’s no need for this. This is my fault. We just need to leave here…” Yu Gan quickly stepped in front of York, shaking her head frantically at Xiao Bai and the other two. “This has nothing to do with you. Don’t ruin your trip for someone like me, Miss Bai. It’s really not worth it…”

“But look at what they just did—” York pouted, about to argue.

“York, Miss Yu Gan is right, let’s give the batons back to them.” Just then, Xiao Bai’s voice reached York’s ears.

"Ti..." York turned around in surprise upon hearing the voice. After staring blankly at Xiaobai for a while, she seemed to have a lot to say, but ultimately stopped herself at Xiaobai's gaze, and finally lowered her head dejectedly, "Alright then..."

York threw the baton in his hand at the men.
