Chapter 10 - Can I Keep It Secret For Now?

Hearing these words, Jin Xiangdong almost spit the juice out of his mouth as the robot’s shining eyes were fixed on him.

Jin Xiangdong wiped his mouth.”Ike, what did you just say?”

“Master, are you in love?” Ike the robot continued blinking its cute eyes.

“Basis for judgment?” asked Jin Xiangdong.

“Perfume and this love song!” replied Ike the robot.

Jin Xiangdong slightly raised the corners of his mouth. “The basis is too weak to be relied on!”

“Your expression and smile!” Ike the robot continued.

“What does my expression look like?” asked Jin Xiangdong.

Ike the robot began scanning his face and then answered concisely. “Pleasureable!”

Jin Xiangdong raised his brows slightly. “Anything else?”

“Horny!” Ike the robot’s answer was simple.

Jin Xiangdong felt a little embarrassed. He had not expected that Ike would use ‘horny’ to describe his expression. “The last time Jason said that he had wanted you to go to his home as his son. Wanna think about it?” he said.

The master was never to be offended. Ike blinked its cute eyes. “No, I want to be with my master!”

Jin Xiangdong glanced at it. “But I may consider it!” With these words, he put the glass in his hand on the tea table and then walked toward the study.

Ike stood still for a few seconds and then followed. “Master… ”

Jin Xiangdong walked to the desk, pulled up a chair and sit down. He saw Ike was coming in. He turned on the computer and said, “I have to start work!”

“I will help my master to handle the work together. Please don’t give me away to Jason?” Ike blinked with a pitiful look.

He cast a glance at it and showed a touch of a subtle smile. Of course he was just teasing it. Even if he gave this house to Jason, he would not give Ike away to him.

Lu Jia’er had three courses a week. Today, there was no course. Su Han asked her to accompany her to the bookstore to buy books.

On the way, Lu Jia’er received a phone call from an important person, He Yao, who was director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

“Mr. He!” Lu Jia’er addressed him respectfully.

“I’ve heard from the sub-bureau about a report stating that you stepped up and rescued a girl!” Mr. He said over the telephone line.

“I just happened to be there!” Lu Jia’er replied coolly.

Mr. He knew Lu Jia’er had a cool personality, but he called her out of curiosity.

“Saving people is a good deed!” said He. “But you must pay more attention to safety!”

Lu Jia’er asked, “Mr. He, do you want to know what I said to the criminal?”

Since his intention was seen through, he asked straightforwardly, “What did you say to the criminal to make him give himself up!”

“Mr. He, can I keep it secret for now?” Lu Jia’er became mischievous.

Mr. He couldn’t help laughing. “You’re a knowing card. Well, I will attend your course when you come to the bureau for training!”

“Mr. He, my humble class does not deserve your presence! I will tell you now!” Lu Jia’er smiled.

“No, no, Jia’er, I mean you should come to our bureau and serve as a crimes consultant in psychology!”

“I appreciate your kind favor but I am not fit for the job as consultant!” Lu Jia’er refused mildly.

“I am afraid that our great professor might despise my little bureau!”

“Mr. He, don’t make fun of me!” Lu Jia’er said.

“I’m not making fun of you. It’s a sincere invitation!” Mr. He said earnestly.

Lu Jia’er knew that Mr. He was as crafty as an old fox. He had asked her to perform psychology training for the staff at the Municipal Public Security Bureau with the intention to let her join their criminal investigation brigade in the first place. Lu Jia’er knew that fighting criminals and protecting people was a noble profession with which her knowledge and the talent to listen to others’ voices within could be used to their full extent. But if she joined, her “natural talent” might end up making her the eventual target of investigation.
