Xia Yuanfang was very surprised, "So they were all convicted for their words? What were their sentences?"
Quan Yuxun said, word by word, "... All were sentenced to death."
Xia Yuanfang raised her eyebrows in surprise, "That serious? I searched the library for a long time and really didn't see any precedents for this."
"These cases are not uploaded to the public library." Quan Yuxun said with a faint smile, "The cases are handled by specialized lawyers and the Court, all controlled by the Imperial Clan."
Xia Yuanfang fell silent.
She took a sip of Ficus Pumila Tea, finished all the breakfast on her plate, and then said, "If I only use natural medicinal materials for reproductive assistance treatment, is it possible that I will be considered to be involved in the field of gene research?"
Quan Yuxun pondered for a long time, then said decisively, "I can guarantee that if you can prove that you only use natural medicinal materials for reproductive assistance treatment, without any chemical ingredients added, and without any words involving the field of gene research, you will definitely not be judged as conducting gene research. If anyone dares to sue you for this, come to me, and I will personally help you fight the lawsuit."
As he spoke, he directly handed over a business card that he had prepared long ago.
It wasn't the official kind, which only had the communicator number of the secretary in the official office.
It was his personal business card, which even had his home address and Quantum Optical Brain number.
Xia Yuanfang understood and said, "After the New Year, my studio will open. When that time comes, I will send you an invitation."
Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "Tell me the specific time, and I will have my secretary arrange it for me. I will definitely attend your opening ceremony."
Xia Yuanfang: "..."
"That won't be necessary. You are too important, and my small shop really can't accommodate you..." Xia Yuanfang said with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Quan Yuxun understood and said, "That's right, it's better to be low-key in Mulan City."
After the two reached an agreement, Quan Yuxun also explained his intention for coming today.
"Ms. Xia, I have another matter to discuss with you today. I would like to get your consent to have Xia Chujian provide security for me, for about three or four days. I will pay her 10,000 Xiaoxiang Tickets per day."
Xia Yuanfang: "..."
She had worked at Li's Pharmaceuticals in Mulan City for so many years and only earned 500 Xiaoxiang Tickets a month, but that was already considered a high salary in Mulan City.
She didn't expect Xia Chujian to become truly highly paid as a Hunter.
Xia Chujian looked up in surprise, looked at Quan Yuxun, and then at Xia Yuanfang, not knowing whether to speak or not.
Xia Yuanfang didn't give her a chance to speak, and said directly, "Chief Quan, since you are paying her such a high salary, the work must be very dangerous, right? High risk, high reward..."
Quan Yuxun thought, I said 10,000 Xiaoxiang Tickets a day precisely because I didn't want you to think that way.
If Xia Yuanfang knew that Xia Chujian's Team was providing security for Quan Caiwei for two million Xiaoxiang Tickets a day, she would probably faint.
Quan Yuxun quickly said, "This salary is not high for Hunters, it's just average, and the level of danger is not high either."
Xia Yuanfang didn't believe Quan Yuxun's words. What kind of person was Quan Yuxun? Could the troubles he encountered be small troubles?
She was thinking about what method to use to politely decline.
"Chief Quan, can I ask what you are going to do?" Xia Yuanfang said with some apology, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that she is young, she just turned eighteen two weeks ago..."
Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "Of course, I just have something to do and I want to visit the South District of Mulan City. As you know, the South District recently had a Humanoids riot. Although it has been suppressed, the Senate is still very concerned about the situation here, so they asked me to come and take a look."
"In order not to alert anyone, I came to Mulan City under the guise of visiting friends, and then made a private visit, not in an official capacity, so I didn't bring any official security personnel. By the way, I brought a lot of Quan Family's security. Don't worry, Xia Chujian is not my only security."
Even though Quan Yuxun said this, Xia Yuanfang still firmly disagreed.
She only had one thought: if a person like Quan Yuxun encountered trouble and danger, it would definitely not be a small trouble, nor ordinary danger, it would definitely be very dangerous, a matter of life and death.
She couldn't earn money from such a high-risk job.
Xia Yuanfang flatly refused, "Chief Quan, since you have already brought a lot of Quan Family's security, our Chujian is even more unimportant. She is not even a Gene Evolver, she won't be able to help if something happens."
Quan Yuxun sat up straight, trying to persuade Xia Yuanfang.
But no matter what he said, Xia Yuanfang insisted that it was not possible.
She always felt it was too dangerous.
Finally, Xia Chujian noticed that Quan Yuxun's expression was a little unsightly, and hurriedly said, "Aunt, it's just going to the South District for a walk, I don't think it's very dangerous. And I am a Hunter, this is the kind of work I usually do. Last time in Da Fu Prefecture, we protected the Quan Family's Noble Lady. It must be that Noble Lady who thought our service was good, so she recommended us to Chief Quan, right?"
Quan Yuxun was very cooperative and immediately understood Xia Chujian's meaning, smiling and saying, "Exactly, Caiwei has told me many times, so I had the idea of finding a local security person, also as a guide."
Xia Yuanfang saw that Xia Chujian was eager to try, and sighed in her heart.
She had been unconscious for the past three years, and the child had clearly gotten used to making her own decisions...
Xia Yuanfang pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Chujian is already an adult, and this is within her scope of work. I really can't make decisions for her. Why don't you ask her yourself?"
Quan Yuxun immediately said, "Xia Chujian, shall we talk in your study?"
Xia Chujian perked up her ears. Finally, her aunt was giving her autonomy!
Xia Chujian cheered inwardly, but remained calm on the surface.
She smiled and said, "Chief Quan, I don't have a study in my house. My study is in my bedroom."
Quan Yuxun was speechless.
He had overstepped. He was really sorry.
His face flushed slightly, and he said, "I apologize. I meant, could I talk to Xia Chujian alone?"
Xia Yuanfang stood up and said, "You can talk in the living room. I'll go see what the Housekeeping Robot is doing."
After Xia Yuanfang left, Xia Chujian and Quan Yuxun went to the living room together.
The two sat down on the sofa.
Quan Yuxun said, "Xia Chujian, let's add each other as friends. It'll be easier to talk business."
Xia Chujian made a last-ditch effort: "...We can talk business without adding friends, right?"
Quan Yuxun smiled slightly: "Don't you want to know how much I'm really paying you per day?"
Xia Chujian was speechless.
She was tempted.
She involuntarily raised her wrist and projected her Quantum Optical Brain QR code into the air.
Quan Yuxun also raised his wrist and scanned it with his Quantum Optical Brain. The two added each other as friends.
Quan Yuxun sent her a message while maintaining a casual conversation.
Their real conversation couldn't be heard by Xia Yuanfang, so they both adopted this method.
[Quan Yuxun]: I need to visit the South District and need a bodyguard with your special qualities. I'll pay you two hundred thousand a day for four hours of work.
Xia Chujian's heart itched, but the words "special qualities bodyguard" made her uneasy.
Huo Yushen was really perceptive.
He could see what Chief Quan Da was up to.
Xia Chujian chuckled and secretly sent a message to Huo Yushen.
[Xia Chujian]: Inspector Huo, Chief Quan specifically wants to hire me as a "special qualities bodyguard" for his security. Can I show him my Special Security Bureau special agent ID?
Her question was an implicit suggestion of whether she should take out the Lily-of-the-Valley Purple Silk Hat helmet.
The powerful helmet that could withstand Rank S Mental Strength.
Huo Yushen replied to her message almost instantly.
[Huo Yushen]: You may.
Xia Chujian immediately returned to the chat interface with Quan Yuxun.
[Xia Chujian]: What do you mean by "special qualities"?
Quan Yuxun didn't beat around the bush and replied directly.
[Quan Yuxun]: That day in Plaza Garden, you could use thermal weapons against those Niapula. And the mental attacks of those Mental Strength experts had no effect on you.
Xia Chujian showed a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to say it, but still wanted to say it.
Her fingers kept stretching and curling above the Quantum Optical Brain, as if she couldn't decide whether to reply.
Seeing this, Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "You can ask for anything you want."
In the end, Xia Chujian didn't send a message on the Quantum Optical Brain. Instead, she stood up and said, "Chief Quan, let me show you something. If you're still willing to hire me as a bodyguard after seeing it, I'll definitely accept. Who would turn down a high salary?"
Besides, because Xia Yuanfang wanted to open a studio, Xia Chujian suddenly felt that she didn't have enough money again.
And since it was a high-tech business in the field of reproductive assistance, the initial investment in equipment couldn't be skimped on.
Quan Yuxun nodded: "What is it?"
Xia Chujian returned to her bedroom, took out the thin Lily-of-the-Valley Purple Silk Hat, and showed it to Quan Yuxun: "Chief Quan, why didn't the Mental Strength of those Mental Strength experts work on me that day? It's because of this thing."
Quan Yuxun was slightly stunned: "...What is this?"
Xia Chujian put the thin Lily-of-the-Valley Purple Silk Hat on her head and said, "Chief Quan thinks highly of me, and I won't hide it from you. I am actually a special agent of the Special Security Bureau. Because of my good Gunmanship, the Special Security Bureau needs me to help them carry out some special tasks. But I don't have Mental Strength, so the Special Security Bureau's research institute specially developed this helmet for me, which can defend against Rank S Mental Strength attacks."
Quan Yuxun was moved: "...It can actually defend against Rank S Mental Strength attacks?!"
He only had a helmet that could defend against A-Rank Peak Mental Strength attacks! Xia Chujian smiled and said, "I didn't believe it before, until that day when I was with you, and experienced those Gray-Robed People in the Plaza Garden, I was really convinced!"
The Mental Strength level of that group of Gray-Robed People was at most Rank S, which Quan Yuxun's bodyguards had confirmed.
Quan Yuxun said with a smile, "So that's how it is. That's good. I was originally hesitating about this. I also prepared a helmet for you that can defend against A-Rank Peak Mental Strength attacks. Now that you have a better one, I have no worries."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Too hasty. If she had known, she wouldn't have taken out the helmet. Maybe she could have gotten another Mental Strength defense helmet for nothing.
But she was just thinking about it. Who knew if Quan Yuxun was saying it on purpose, or if it was really a coincidence? Xia Chujian twirled the Lily of the Valley Purple Silk Hat in her hand, and said in a serious business-like manner, "In that case, I have a request..."
Quan Yuxun changed his posture.
Xia Chujian quickly changed her words and said, "...No, there is a cooperation agreement that I want to discuss with Chief Quan."
Since Quan Yuxun wanted her help, she would also ask him for a favor. That was a win-win cooperation...
It wasn't that she wanted to win twice.
Quan Yuxun was noncommittal: "Speak."
Xia Chujian got straight to the point: "I want to buy a piece of land outside Mulan City, but I heard that the land suitable for cultivation in the South District of Mulan City belongs to the Royal Family. I don't know if it's true?"
