Chapter 117 – Reviewing Xiaomi’s Smartphone (1)
Beijing, inside an unlisted courtyard…
The middle-aged team leader, who was remotely commanding the operation to capture the foreign agents, looked at the arrested white man displayed on the screen. Picking up his headset, he asked, “Does he have anything from the warehouse on him?”
“No. The items he has on him are just a bunch of special mining tools.”
“What about the black man? Why did you capture only one person? There should be another.”
“Team Leader, we only found one person. The other person should still be inside the tunnel, but…” the police officer on the screen trailed off his words and stopped talking.
“But what?”
“When the white man was crawling out of the tunnel, we heard his companion’s screams.”
“Oh?” In a suspicious tone, Little Peach asked, “Really?”
“Really!” While racking his brain for ideas, the black man repeatedly nodded and said, “I-Initially, I already felt that something was wrong when I saw the cement layer. After digging a hole and poking my head through it, I found that I had indeed dug in the wrong location. I’m sorry. I’ll compensate you for the damage.”
“Hand over the money,” Little Peach said as she stretched out her delicate hand.
The black man was momentarily stunned by Little Peach’s actions. In the next moment, however, he grew overjoyed as he said, “I have money! It’s in my pocket! I’ll fully compensate you for the damages once you help me back into the tunnel!”
“Really?” Little Peach’s eyes glowed in joy.
“Really! I promise! I swear!”
“Okay!”
Nodding excitedly, Little Peach stood up, raised her left foot, and aimed it at the black man’s head.
“Uh? W-Wait! When I said help, I didn’t-”
Boom!
“x_x…”
“You’re in!” Little Peach jumped up in joy when she saw the black man’s head disappearing into the hold. Afterward, she laid down by the tunnel’s entrance and looked through it, shouting, “Hello? Pay up!”
Inside the tunnel: “…”
“What about the money?”
“…”
“Did you lie to me?!”
“…”
“I helped you! Why aren’t you paying up?” Little Peach gradually grew annoyed. “Hey! Did you run away?”
“…”
“You liar! Give me the money!!”
“…”
Meanwhile, after falling down the tunnel’s slope, the black man’s eyes rolled back into his head, and he laid motionless at the bottom of the tunnel…
“I knew it! You humans are so cunning!”
Boom!
Little Peach stomped her feet with all her strength in dissatisfaction, the impact shattering the concrete floor.
“Without compensation, how am I supposed to explain this to Mr. Chen?!” Little Peach pouted. She then pushed the surrounding bricks and cement blocks into the hole.
Afterward, she pushed her heavy slumber pod over the hole, thoroughly stoppering it.
“I definitely cannot let Mr. Chen find out about this. Otherwise, he’ll get angry and hurt his health.
“So, I am not lying. Ensuring that no harm comes to my owner’s health is completely reasonable and legal behavior. I am perfectly abiding by the three laws of robots.”
“Yes, that’s right…”
…
Inside the underground tunnel…
The shaking and trembling from above caused the black man to awoke with a start. Opening his eyes in a daze, the black man clutched his aching head and looked around with a blank face.
“Who am I?
“Where is this?
“What was I doing?”
…
By the time Chen Yu returned home from school, it was already seven in the evening.
As soon as he entered the house, his three little sisters immediately rushed him.
Chen Yike: “You’re too late!”
Chen Erke: “Dog!”
Chen Sanke: “You’re too late! Dog!”
Scratching his forehead, Chen Yu muttered, “Why do I feel like you’re cursing at me?”
“Big Brother! Dog!” Grabbing Chen Yu’s shirt, Chen Erke pulled him toward his bedroom while saying, “The doggy will starve to death.”
“I know, I know. I’ll open the door now. Stop pulling.”
Pulling out his key, Chen Yu looked around and asked, “Where’s mom?”
“Mommy went to attend some gathering. She’s not back yet. She told us to make dinner ourselves,” Chen Yike said anxiously. “We can use this chance to let Pikachu get some fresh air.”
Creak…
After unlocking and opening the door, Chen Yu walked into his room, grabbed the husky lying on the floor, and threw it to Chen Yike, saying, “Take it. Don’t disturb me.”
Bang!
After saying so, Chen Yu promptly slammed the wooden door shut and locked it.
“Mr. Chen, you’re back! Hehehe.” Canceling her invisibility, Little Peach put her arms behind her back and looked at Chen Yu with a bright smile.
“Mhm. We’re going to review Xiaomi’s smartphone tonight. Go get ready. Also, post a status update online in advance.”
“Understood! Hehe…”
“Hm?” Frowning, Chen Yu asked, “Why are you laughing so awkwardly?”
“I’m not!”
“Did you make trouble for me again?”
“Absolutely not!” Patting her chest, Little Peach declared, “I’m just delighted! Today, I sold another piece of software and made over 100,000 for you!”
“Over 100,000?” Chen Yu exclaimed. “Beautiful!”
“Yes! I’ll become more and more beautiful!”
