Chapter 284

Hearing her say that, Jing Liming breathed a sigh of relief, and pouted somewhat aggrievedly.
“I thought we were good friends, but it turns out you’ve been guarding against me all along.
You even drugged me, I’m so sad…”
Lin Qianhuan rolled her eyes and casually took out a cup of iced cola from her space and threw it into his arms.
“Wow!”
Jing Liming hurriedly took it, happily twisted open the cap, took a sip, and turned his head to look at Lin Qianhuan with a slightly fawning expression.
“You are my best friend in this life.
Is there anything else you want to ask? I will definitely tell you everything I know!”
Lin Qianhuan pushed him away with a look of disgust, and turned her gaze to the sleeping Number 7, sighing helplessly.
Using her mental tentacles, she wrapped him into a ball, and then lightly lifted him into the air.
“Hey, hey, what are you doing!”
Jing Liming was a little flustered, hesitating for a long time before finally making up his mind.
“Although this is a slum, it’s not without rules!
It’s true that I don’t have any family, and no one would suspect if I disappeared, but it’s unethical to take advantage of others like this and kidnap him!”
Lin Qianhuan’s face was full of speechless.
“What on earth are you thinking about every day?
He is a friend of Jiang Xing He Lu and the others. I’m taking him away to provide him with a better life.
What do you think I’m going to do to him? Am I such an indiscriminate person?”
Jing Liming smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Lin Qianhuan was too lazy to continue arguing with him and rubbed her temples wearily.
“I’m not only going to take him away, but you have to come with me too.
There’s no cooling equipment in the slums, and you might get heatstroke and die at any time.
I have an apartment in Silver Bay Gardens, just enough for you two to have one room each.”
Jing Liming raised his finger incredulously and pointed at his nose.
“Me? You’re going to take me to live in Silver Bay Gardens?”
“Yes.”
“But I can only earn less than 100 level-one crystal cores a month. After deducting the daily food expenses, there’s basically no money left.
I don’t want to live in your house for free, so forget it, I’m doing pretty well here.”
Lin Qianhuan wouldn’t allow him to refuse and directly dragged him out of the crumbling “dangerous building” with her mental tentacles.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you live here for free.
Furthermore, I will help you solve the problem with the research institute.
As long as you become a proper researcher, your monthly salary won’t be so low in the future.”
Jing Liming looked at Lin Qianhuan, his eyes blinked, and two red blushes gradually appeared on his cheeks.
“Why are you so nice to me? Is it because you…”
“Yes, I have something I need your help with researching.”
Now that Jing Liming has passed the test of the Truth Pill, he is a trustworthy and capable talent.
Lin Qianhuan had extracted several tubes of blood from Number 2’s body.
And these blood happened to be mixed with the inhibitor specially used by the Salvation Society to suppress zombies.
Lin Qianhuan didn’t dare to hand over these blood samples to the researchers in the research institute casually.
She couldn’t guarantee whether these people were connected to the Salvation Society. Once there was a spy among the researchers, the inhibitor developed would definitely be tampered with.
Lin Qianhuan didn’t dare to take the risk, so she could only focus on Jing Liming.
Although this guy is silly, he does have the ability and talent.
Lin Qianhuan was relieved to entrust him with the task of developing the inhibitor.
Jing Liming blinked, lowered his head without saying anything, but inexplicably seemed a little lost.
He didn’t understand what answer he wanted to get from Lin Qianhuan, but seeing her businesslike attitude, he felt inexplicably sour.
When the three of them drove back to Silver Bay Gardens, the sun had already set, leaving only a faint red glow on the horizon.
After simply preparing the necessary furniture for the two of them, Lin Qianhuan lowered her eyes and looked at the time.
“I have something to do tonight, so I need you to help him take a bath and change into clean clothes.
I’ve put the ingredients in the refrigerator. You can cook yourself if you need to.
I’m leaving, bye.”
Jing Liming smiled and waved goodbye to her, then lowered his head to look at Number 7 at his feet.
“Sigh, this is really a big project.”
When she rushed back to Villa 36, everyone except Lin Yixuan and Shu Qing had arrived.
Xuan Yuan Ao was directing Xuan Yuan Ye to blow up balloons and lay out red carpets, Song Yun was sitting on the sofa sipping tea, and Xuan Yuan Ming was carefully pasting various streamers. The house was decorated with a very festive atmosphere.
Fiery red roses were in full bloom, dazzling and eye-catching, and were placed in every corner of the house.
Gu Feng and Song Luozhi were busy cooking in the kitchen, and the aroma quickly overflowed, making people drool.
“Qianhuan!”
Seeing her come back, Song Luozhi smiled happily and quickly put down the spatula in her hand to greet her.
“I’m so glad to see you! If Gu Feng hadn’t insisted that you were busy with a lot of things recently, I would have come to chat with you a long time ago.”
Lin Qianhuan quickly opened her arms to hug her, her face full of smiles.
“Where’s Lingling? Where did the little girl go?”
“There, lying in the cradle.
Although she doesn’t understand anything, she still has to come over to get some luck.”
Lin Qianhuan walked to the cradle. Lingling was lying obediently inside, spitting bubbles. She was much fatter than before, and her skin was fair and tender.
She didn’t dare to continue moving and tiptoed away, for fear of waking up the baby in the cradle.
“Qianhuan! Big Brother and Sister-in-law are on their way back! Get ready quickly!”
He Lu, who was observing the situation from underground, came to report, and everyone quickly gathered in front of the door, preparing for the surprise with great excitement.
