As soon as Luo Chenghai opened the door, he saw the rushing Luo Gang and immediately put on a stern face to scold him.
“You brat, didn’t you just go to the Little Madam’s place? Why are you back so soon? Are you deliberately slacking off? How did Grandpa teach you before? It seems you’re looking for a beating after not being disciplined for too long, aren’t you?”
Luo Gang listened with a bitter face as Luo Chenghai’s words became more and more outrageous. He quickly interrupted loudly.
He was afraid that if he didn’t interrupt, his grandfather would keep nagging him!
“Grandpa, I only got beaten when I was disobedient as a child. After that, I listened to you a lot! You can’t wrongly accuse me!”
“Oh my! No, why am I saying this!”
In his haste, Luo Gang pushed Luo Chenghai aside and rushed into the study.
“Old Commander, I have an important situation to report!”
Qin Jianguo was stunned when he heard this.
Why was there another important situation? Hadn’t he just reported one?
Then he looked up and saw Luo Gang, sweating profusely and in a panic, holding a radio.
For Luo Gang to be this rushed, the matter must be significant.
Qin Jianguo’s expression also turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, “Luo Gang, explain it carefully.”
Luo Chenghai also returned to the study, staring at Luo Gang with an unfriendly gaze.
His “rebellious grandson” had better have something truly important to report, otherwise, he would definitely give him a taste of his “loving iron fist”!
Luo Gang raised the radio in his hand. “There’s a spy transmitting a signal through this radio! I heard it!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Jianguo and Luo Chenghai’s expressions also became more serious.
Luo Chenghai pressed, “Gang, do you remember what the signal was?”
Luo Gang shook his head. “I didn’t remember it.”
Luo Chenghai rolled his eyes. “What’s the use if you didn’t remember it! Can you make the radio play it again!”
At this, Luo Gang immediately nodded frantically and said excitedly, “I can!”
“This radio belongs to the Little Madam. Although I don’t know how the Little Madam did it, she recorded the spy’s signal, and it can be played repeatedly!”
Qin Jianguo stood up and walked out from behind the desk, taking the radio from Luo Gang and examining it.
His first impression was that it looked quite shabby.
From a distance, the radio could barely be recognized as a radio from its appearance, but upon closer inspection, it was truly… very worn out…
Could a collection of broken parts truly function as a radio, and even record?
Qin Jianguo expressed some doubt.
“Play the spy signal recording.”
Qin Jianguo returned the radio to Luo Gang. He had to confirm Luo Gang’s words were true before reporting the matter to the Ministry of State Security.
“Yes!”
Luo Gang twisted the radio’s volume knob, and then a melodious tune began to play from the radio.
Qin Jianguo and Luo Chenghai listened carefully. After listening for two minutes, they did not hear any potential spy signals.
The irritable Luo Chenghai directly delivered an “loving slap” to Luo Gang’s back.
“This is the spy signal you mentioned?! Are you kidding us?!”
Luo Gang felt as if his back had been hit by an iron palm, and he almost dropped the radio in pain. He quickly explained, “I’m telling the truth, the spy signal is at the end!”
“Little Madam originally recorded it to play music for the Young Master, and accidentally recorded the spy signal, so most of it is music.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the music abruptly stopped, and a “drip-tap” sound, clearly not music, rang out again.
Qin Jianguo and Luo Chenghai’s expressions changed immediately.
Research Institute Family Compound.
Lin Banxia decided to do something drastic for her mother to believe that she truly had the ability to treat Qin Mo!
“Daughter, where are you taking your mother?”
Liu Meiyun’s eyes were covered by Lin Banxia from behind as she was led forward, speaking with a tone full of affection.
Liu Meiyun was somewhat expectant.
Her daughter had just said she would give her a surprise, which had made her very happy.
This was the first time her daughter had given her a surprise! She wondered what kind of surprise it would be.
Lin Banxia led Liu Meiyun to a room in a corner on the first floor.
This room was originally a storage room, which Lin Banxia had taken a liking to and intended to use as an operating room. For example, she could make small gadgets like the radio, dismantle household appliances, or conduct other small research and development projects, or even perform minor surgeries.
In Liu Meiyun’s words, it was for “tinkering” with various things.
Lin Banxia roughly divided the room into two areas: an equipment area and a medical area.
She then filled the equipment area with various tools she had brought from Rongcheng, categorized and arranged neatly.
Most of these tools, in addition to what the original owner already had, were salvaged by Lin Banxia from the junkyard and slightly modified to form Lin Banxia’s tool library.
Compared to the well-stocked equipment area, the medical area had very few devices. Besides a simple operating table, there were only some unknown reagents, a small amount of Chinese medicinal herbs, and an acupuncture kit.
Lin Banxia planned to visit the junkyards in the capital in a couple of days to find useful items and modify them herself to fill the medical area.
And the surprise Lin Banxia had prepared for Liu Meiyun was currently lying quietly on the bare operating table in the medical area.
“Mom, I’m going to let go now. Are you ready to receive your surprise?”
Lin Banxia reminded her.
“Okay, okay, I’ve been ready for a long time! Daughter, you’re something else, making such a mysterious surprise! Just give it to your mom directly!”
Liu Meiyun’s tone was a little chiding, but in reality, she was beaming.
Lin Banxia slowly moved her hands away from Liu Meiyun’s eyes. Liu Meiyun’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she blinked uncomfortably before meeting a pair of wet, round, small eyes.
Liu Meiyun was momentarily stunned. She looked back at Lin Banxia and pointed at the little creature on the operating table, asking uncertainly, “This is the surprise you’re giving your mom?”
“A dog?”
The little dog on the operating table seemed to understand their conversation and wagged its small black tail vigorously in greeting, looking pitifully at Liu Meiyun.
Lin Banxia leaned in with a smile and said cheerfully, “Mom, do you like it? From now on, Black General will guard our house for us!”
Liu Meiyun slapped Lin Banxia’s head and said grumpily, “What surprise! I can barely take care of you, and now you’ve brought back a dog. Are you trying to wear me out!”
Lin Banxia retorted, “Mom, I can take care of myself! Besides, Black General just needs to be fed, it won’t take much effort!”
Black General “whined” in agreement.
Liu Meiyun looked at the little black dog, its doggy eyes staring at her wetly, its tail wagging incessantly, looking pitiful. She wanted to say “throw the dog out,” but she couldn’t bear to. Finally, she sighed.
“And you named it Black General?”
Seeing that Liu Meiyun had relented, Lin Banxia immediately seized the opportunity and said ingratiatingly, “Mom, if you don’t like the name Black General, you can rename it!”
“Alright, let’s call him Black General.” He’s all black, so Black General is quite fitting.
“Tell me, where did Black General come from? I only looked away for a moment, and you brought back a dog!”
Since she had decided to keep it, she had to know the little dog’s basic information.
Lin Banxia chuckled twice and said mysteriously, “Mom, don’t be distracted. The real surprise is coming soon!”
