In the process of renovation, to prevent them from playing tricks, he basically supervised the entire process.

The time for cultivation was delayed a bit, but saving such a large sum of money was worth it.

Even more interestingly, because that middle manager often came by, their relationship improved noticeably.

Unfortunately, it still wasn't close enough to discuss the "Gorge."

During this time, Xiao Qin also came by often, and the middle manager noticed, valuing Qu Jianlei even more.

When helping out, Xiao Qin would occasionally chat with Qu Jianlei, always intentionally or unintentionally mentioning Crystal.

Qu Jianlei didn't pay much attention because, no matter whether it was a peacekeeper or a thug, the compensation with Crystal had not been settled.

The Earth Room constantly applied pressure, each time more severe, but the other party stubbornly didn't collapse.

On the day of completion, someone came to discuss renting the storefront, starting with, "Is the rent still nine hundred a month? I'll rent it!"

The storefront was also renovated, looking unimpressive from the outside, but magnificent inside upon entering.

Qu Jianlei felt embarrassed to temporarily raise the rent, but now it didn't seem suitable to rent it out for just nine hundred.

Those who knew him knew he was kind-hearted, those who didn't might think he was lacking in intelligence.

He stated the house had just been renovated, and he planned to leave it vacant for half a month. During this period, if someone offered a higher bid, he would rent it to them.

He's really not good at negotiating prices, and this approach is basically like an unofficial auction.

Whether the other party wants to raise their bid or not is none of his business; it's a standard lazy person's way of doing things.

As soon as the prospective tenant left, Xiao Qin came with new information.

The hiding place of the two thugs who first smashed the surveillance camera had been discovered.

These two thugs didn't roam this area; they weren't involved in the vandalism. They only smashed the camera because they were unfamiliar faces.

After the incident, they got wind of it quickly, realizing they hit a hard surface, and ran away in fear.

The captured thug gave them up, but their whereabouts remained a mystery; for people in the underworld, hiding is a basic survival skill.

This time, the hideout's exposure was due to that old man, the thugs' leader, providing the information.

Xiao Qin came to inform Qu Jianlei: you can settle scores and resolve your grievances.

The Inspection Bureau wasn't unwilling to help him get revenge, but taking action against two ordinary thugs would be beneath them.

But as a victim, Qu Jianlei's retaliation would be justified, and no one would ridicule him.

Qu Jianlei felt tempted; with the meal served up to him, how could he wait to be fed?

However, he still asked, "My Ultimate Warrior isn't certified yet; will taking action cause problems?"

Xiao Qin nonchalantly replied, "They're outside the city, and if no one sees you, it's not a problem."

"Actually, with your Inspection Bureau status, taking action inside the city wouldn't be much of a problem either... Of course, it would be even better if you got certified."

Could it be a trap? The thought flashed through Qu Jianlei's mind.

But in the next moment, he dismissed the thought: if he didn't act soon, he'd lose respect for himself!

He asked Xiao Qin for the two's address, "Alright, thank you, you've worked hard."

"It's hardly anything," Xiao Qin rolled her eyes, "I'll go with you."

"I won't get involved in your vendetta, but what if... that old guy is lying?"

Qu Jianlei looked at her and felt deeply ashamed of his earlier suspicion: truly, he had judged a noble person with a small mind.

He shook his head, "Never mind, I can go myself, no need to trouble you."

"I have to go with you," Xiao Qin replied seriously.

"If there's an ambush, not only will you be in danger, but the Inspection Bureau will also become a laughing stock... falling into such a trap!"

From her words, it was clear that the reputation of that elderly Ultimate Warrior wasn't good.
