Chapter 75: Learning from others’ strengths and losing control
No matter what happens, will I still be your sister?
Looking at Leon, who was resting peacefully on his shoulder, breathing softer and lighter, and seemed to have fallen asleep, Anna, who had received the promise, was not only not relieved, but also bit her lip unconsciously until it turned white.
What if... I am not your sister at all, and all the happiness you have now was stolen from me? After you find out what I've done to you, will you still think like this?
…
Amidst the fear and uneasiness of the sickly girl, a carriage carrying a family of four was speeding through the streets of the royal capital. Leon in the carriage only took a nap for less than thirty minutes before he was awakened by the whistle of the carriage arriving.
Are carriages that fast?
After rubbing his sleepy eyes and yawning again, Leon first reached out and smoothed the pressed wrinkles on Anna's shoulders, and then slapped each of his younger siblings on the buttocks who were sleeping soundly on the seat opposite.
"Wake up! The new home has arrived!"
"arrive?!"
After hearing Leon's words, William rubbed his eyes and sat up. Following Leon's example, he carefully arranged the clothes that were messed up while sleeping, and then stabbed his sister in the ribs mercilessly.
"Get up! We're here!"
"Don't make any noise..."
Melanie, who was disturbed by her sweet dream, snorted twice, kicked her feet in small leather shoes twice, and then like a baby maggot, she arched along the seat in the direction away from William, leaving There was a saliva mark more than ten centimeters long.
"Let me sleep a little longer..."
"Ugh...so disgusting!"
After grabbing Melanie's arm in disgust and wiping the drool on the chair with her sleeve, William patted his sister's face and said:
"Wake up quickly! Your new home is on the sixth floor. How can you go up there if you don't get up?"
"Um...don't shoot..."
After getting up from the chair with a pout, she saw Leon with a helpless face opposite her. Melanie's eyes suddenly lit up and she stretched out her arms towards him.
"I'm sleeping in big brother's arms. Big brother can carry me up!"
"No, big brother really can't carry you up today."
"Ah? Why..."
"Because my eldest brother has to work to support the family, he has money to buy you a beautiful little dress~"
Smiling, he pinched his sister's pouty face, and after holding her and William out of the carriage, Leon turned his head and looked in the direction of the Happy Apartment.
Sure enough, a strong old man who claimed to be in poor health was holding a pair of gardening shears more than one meter long, staring at him eagerly in the small garden in front of the building. On the ground, shrubs as thick as a bowl are pruned...
Don't cut it, don't cut it. Isn't it okay if I don't go there?
Looking at the dark muscles that exploded under the thin vest of the strong old man, and then looking at his thighs that were not as thick as other people’s forearms, Leon, who was worried about changing from the eldest brother to the eldest brother, really did not dare to stay for a moment longer. , after struggling to move the luggage from the car to the apartment door, he ran away without hesitation.
Seeing that the "Devil's Child" had not come over, the strong old man couldn't help but snorted and shoved the gardening shears into the ground. Then he limped to the door and looked at the new residents of Xingfu Apartment. .
"Excuse me, Mr. John."
Anna, who has been to Xingfu Apartment twice in the past few days, is already familiar with this fierce-looking administrator. After politely greeting her, she first picked up all the luggage she could carry and called on her younger brothers and sisters to do the same. After a while, he said apologetically:
"My brother is a little busy at work, so he doesn't have time to help us move. Can you please...ah!" In Anna's shocked expression, the administrator who was as strong as a bear in front of her grinned, showing a very serious expression. With a fierce smile, he then acted like an acrobat and threw six or seven large bags into the air, and then carried them all on his body with a bang.
After adjusting the position a little and making sure that the three hundred kilogram luggage was stable, the strong old man snatched the luggage from Anna's hand, hung it on his body without saying anything, and then turned around and left without saying a word.
"Mr. John?!"
After the startled Anna reacted, she immediately pulled her younger siblings and chased after her. She wanted to help him get some, but looking at the mountain of luggage piled on the back of the strong old man, she really had no way to start, so she had to follow. I kept saying thank you in the back...
Huh...it seems like there's no problem at all.
Seeing that Anna and the others had indeed been accepted into the Happy Apartment, Leon, who was hiding on the street corner, was completely relieved, and then walked quickly towards the cleanup bureau with a frown on his face.
As long as there are more than 600 live fires, the shooter badge can be advanced. But before that, he has to go to the director first and use her contacts to investigate Anna's situation to see what she has. What's on your mind...
What? Didn't I just promise half an hour ago that as long as Anna doesn't want to say anything, I can not ask?
I said not to ask, but I also didn’t say not to check! In the words of the director, it means no questioning, no questioning, investigation is investigation, these two things go hand in hand.
Or if you change it to Senior Emma, you should never take any chances. Only by mastering enough information in advance can you ensure that you will be able to do everything with ease at any time!
Regarding Anna's secret, if it's not important, then I can pretend to not know it for the rest of my life. But if it's a very dangerous secret, if I don't find out now and solve it early, am I still waiting for her to do something stupid?
……
With the stability he learned from senior Emma and the shamelessness he learned from the red-haired director, Leon arrived at the cleanup bureau early and knocked hard on the door of the director's office.
"Director, are you there?"
However, it was probably because he came a little early and the sun had not fully risen. The red-haired director didn't know whether he didn't wake up or simply didn't come to work, so he never responded.
After waiting for a while and receiving no response, Leon knocked on the door again and said with a slightly higher volume:
"Director, this is Leon! Are you there?"
"I am here."
Leon's raised volume seemed to have an effect, and the red-haired director finally responded to him, but the sound did not come from the office, but seemed to come directly from the floor.
"Director? Are you upstairs?"
"Well, I'm upstairs."
After giving the answer to the question in a calm and even indifferent voice, the red-haired director said in a vague and authentic voice:
"Are you looking for me? If you are looking for me, just come up here."
Go upstairs...?
After hearing what the red-haired director said, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.
Although there was no rule against going upstairs in the Sixth Cleanup Bureau, according to his observation, no one in the bureau had ever gone upstairs. Not only was there not even a single shoe print in the stairwell, but there was also a thick layer of dirt accumulated there. There is a layer of dust. It is estimated that no one has been in it for at least half a year. Why did the director suddenly call me up today?
Also, remember the director mentioned that the upstairs was filled with her anomalies?
Although the tone at that time sounded like she was talking nonsense, I remember that when I asked about the work content of the Cleanup Bureau, she talked about the work content of the Cleanup Bureau in a joking tone.
I later verified with Senior Emma that although she might not meet him once in a few years, what she told him at the beginning was indeed true, so...
Could it be true this time? The person who is talking to me now is the Director’s abnormal object?
