Not only did she see a Jia Fruit, but she also wasn't dissolved by it, which was doubly fortunate.
Quan Yuxun nodded, "That should be it. How many Jia Fruits did you see?"
Xia Chujian was dumbfounded, "...How many? There's more than one of those things?!"
"...There should be two." Quan Yuxun looked at her, his gaze gradually sharpening, "Where's the other one?"
Xia Chujian was defeated, spreading her hands and saying sullenly, "I really don't know. I only saw one, and it was eaten by that Bunis thing."
Quan Yuxun wasn't very convinced, and quietly used the button-type detection device, aiming it at Xia Chujian's direction.
But there was indeed no reaction from her side.
If Xia Chujian had really hidden a Jia Fruit, she couldn't have escaped his detector.
He had even detected the residual energy waves here before.
Therefore, after a long silence, Quan Yuxun said, "In that case, I have to take away the remaining four Tentacle Algae Ball Monster corpses here."
Residual energy waves can still be detected in these monster corpses, and they have to be handed over to the High Priest.
Xia Chujian said sullenly, "I won't help you move them... Those things are so ugly, so disgusting..."
She had been talking for a long time, her mouth was dry, and this guy still didn't understand her "hidden meaning".
Her bullet costs...
One bullet costs 10,000 Beichen Coins...
Xia Chujian was heartbroken at this moment, especially heartbroken.
Quan Yuxun didn't care what she was thinking and immediately contacted his bodyguards.
Five minutes later, the bodyguards came in fully armed.
When they saw the scene in front of them, they were also taken aback.
Xia Chujian was surprised to see them acting as if nothing had happened.
But she quickly realized that this underground building should have good shielding equipment.
The "roars" of those Bunis probably didn't reach the outside.
Thinking about it, it was normal. After all, this place had existed for who knows how long, but the humans and Humanoids living in the South District didn't know there was such a place, which showed that there was special shielding equipment here.
Quan Yuxun was talking to his people, "You four use special equipment to take these four Bunis on the ground away."
"You four go get some High-Yield Explosives. This place can't be left."
"The rest of you stay alert."
These bodyguards were his most trusted confidants and would never betray him.
So he was very relieved to leave the cleanup work to them.
They were orphans raised by the Quan Family since childhood, and after his multiple screenings, those who were disloyal, easily bribed, or had many weaknesses had long been eliminated.
Now, the people who could follow Quan Yuxun to carry out secret missions were the elite of the elite that the Quan Family cultivated for their heir.
As soon as Quan Yuxun finished his instructions, they began to act in an orderly manner.
Xia Chujian didn't understand and quietly asked Quan Yuxun, "...Why blow this place up? Don't you want to know who is behind this genetic research? Don't you want to bring them to justice?"
Quan Yuxun said with a smile, "I'm just a legal counsel, not the Disciplinary Department, nor the Special Security Bureau. These are not under my jurisdiction."
"...Not under your jurisdiction, so you can blow it up?" Xia Chujian asked suspiciously, "Why not ask the Special Security Bureau? I'm a Special Operations Personnel of the Special Security Bureau."
Quan Yuxun said, "Since your Inspector Huo sent me a great gift, I'll send him one too. - Remember, destroying this place is good for you, for me, and for him, and the benefit to Inspector Huo is the greatest. If you don't believe me, ask him yourself after this is over."
Quan Yuxun thought for a while and added, "You have to keep this a secret too. You have to remember the confidentiality agreement I signed with you. You can't say a word, or you'll have to pay 100 million."
Xia Chujian said unhappily, "You said I can't tell anyone, or I'll have to pay money, so how can I tell Inspector Huo? - Aren't you bullying me?"
Quan Yuxun said, "You definitely didn't read the confidentiality clauses carefully. The conversation objects recognized in the confidentiality clauses don't count as leaks."
"...Your confidentiality clauses recognize the Special Security Bureau?"
"The Inspector of the Special Security Bureau, the Emperor, the High Priest of the Holy Church, the Speaker of the Senate, and the Grand Commander of the Cabinet are all among the conversation objects permitted in the confidentiality clauses. You can talk about tonight's actions if these people ask."
"Are all the confidentiality clauses clearly stated?" Xia Chujian hadn't really read it carefully. There were so many pages, and the font was quite small. She was too lazy to pull up the virtual display screen to examine it closely.
Quan Yuxun thought to himself, this girl was lucky to have been circling at the very bottom, and even if the people she encountered were cunning, they couldn't do much harm.
If she were in a higher social stratum, she would have been schemed against until there wasn't a bone left...
Those at the bottom could only abide by the rules, while those at the top made the rules.
Playing by other people's rules all the time, no matter how capable you are, you're limited.
Quan Yuxun sighed, "In the future, if you need to sign any agreements, you must let me look at them first. The way you are, I don't know how many traps people will dig for you in agreements or contracts."
Xia Chujian was silent for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "...If you help me look at agreements and contracts, will you charge me?"
"If I charged you, could you afford it?"
"I couldn't afford it, I couldn't afford it..."
"So... is there any point in asking such a question?"
Xia Chujian understood from Quan Yuxun's tone that he was going to review legal agreements and contracts for her for free. This was too generous, completely unbelievable, so she didn't take it seriously, and said with a laugh, "It's not very meaningful. My shield cost over ten thousand Beichen Coins, and it's gone just like that..."
The topic changed too abruptly.
Quan Yuxun glanced at her and said, "During the term of my employment, I can reimburse your expenses. After we return, just find my secretary."
Xia Chujian was about to be happy, but then she thought of Yun Nvluo, who had come with Quan Yuxun, and her little face immediately fell. "...Do I have to find a secretary? Never mind, just consider it my loss... The Association was right, I really shouldn't take on tasks privately outside. Without the Association's oversight, I often get scammed!"
Quan Yuxun: "..."
Didn't he say he would reimburse her?
But he quickly realized the reason.
Quan Yuxun said with a smile, "...I have more than one secretary... Moreover, Secretary Yun doesn't know about this, and there's no need for her to know."
"Oh, oh, oh! So there are other secretaries!" Xia Chujian perked up again. "So Secretary Yun doesn't know the real purpose of your visit here this time..."
Quan Yuxun smiled without saying anything. Any more would be too much.
Xia Chujian settled her ammunition expenses and felt a little better. She remembered the ultra-miniature Controllable Nuclear Fusion Generator she had seen in the innermost laboratory.
That thing was so useful...
Their Association's high-end Flying Vehicles had this installed as a power system. When she received her equipment last time, she also rented two Small Controlled Nuclear Fusion Generators, which she later returned to the Association.
Having tasted the benefits of this equipment, Xia Chujian never forgot them.
But they were too expensive, probably starting at a billion Beichen Coins, with no upper limit.
Moreover, they weren't sold publicly on the Star Network. They were the kind of thing you couldn't buy even if you had the money.
The small Flying Vehicle they had seized from Feng Qianzhan was considered a mid-to-high-end model, but its generator was just a regular model.
After this winter, they would have to buy new energy blocks to replace them, otherwise the generator wouldn't work.
Moreover, she had now bought a large piece of land and needed a larger power supply system to maintain the greenhouses, water systems, and various construction and planting needs.
If she continued to use regular generators, the energy blocks alone would eat up all her income.
Therefore, Xia Chujian really wanted to get this Ultra-Miniature Controllable Nuclear Fusion Generator.
With this thing, she wouldn't have to worry about the energy needed for that piece of land! Of course, more importantly, even if there were purchasing channels, buying this thing with real money would cost so much that she couldn't afford it even if she sold her land.
So Xia Chujian quietly said, "...Can I go to the innermost laboratory and take something?"
"What thing?"
"I remember there's an Ultra-Miniature Controllable Nuclear Fusion Generator there. If it's still usable, it can last for thirty thousand years..."
Quan Yuxun was surprised that Xia Chujian had noticed this and said, "I'll have someone take a look."
With that, he called one of his subordinates and asked him to go to the room at the end of the corridor to see if the Ultra-Miniature Controllable Nuclear Fusion Generator was still usable.
The subordinate went and, after a while, came back carrying a square thing that looked like a small stool, saying, "...Young Master, this thing is still usable, and the outer shell is just blackened. The seal is still intact. I checked the production date, and it's actually from October of last year."
"So new?" Xia Chujian was pleasantly surprised. "Then thank you!"
She reached out to take the thing.
The subordinate didn't hand it directly to Xia Chujian, but looked at Quan Yuxun.
Quan Yuxun said, "Give it to her, it was meant for her anyway."
Only then did the subordinate hand it to Xia Chujian, saying, "Be careful, it's a bit heavy."
Xia Chujian was quite strong, and hugged it immediately, overjoyed.
They waited another ten minutes, and Quan Yuxun's subordinates used a special device to collect the four dead Tentacle Algae Ball Monsters. Then, they buried explosives in the structurally weak points of this underground building.
Xia Chujian watched attentively, secretly marveling in her heart.
Although these people's apparent identities were Quan Yuxun's bodyguards, their professional skills were beyond what bodyguards who risked their lives could do. If she wasn't mistaken, among these people, there were firearms experts, explosives experts, and probably also architectural structure experts and civil engineering experts.
Each person had their own area of expertise.
No wonder they could be brought by Quan Yuxun to carry out such a secret mission.
It was obvious that Yun Nvluo, Quan Yuxun's so-called First Secretary, was not qualified to participate in Quan Yuxun's mission this time.
Xia Chujian also thought of Quan Yuxun's words that he had more than one secretary.
So, was Quan Yuxun holding Yun Nvluo up as a target in the open?
