Bi Qiao'an lay weakly in the ice and snow, watching the heavy snow bury her alive. Thinking back to her three years of solitary survival in the apocalypse, her consciousness gradually blurred. ...
"Alright, let's fill up these two supply trucks outside first, and Zhou Qi and I will take them back to the base later."
After a moment of silence, Qin Yuncheng added, "Let Yuan Ruoxi come along too. With her there, we can save a lot of effort."
Deep down, he didn't want spatial ability users to get too involved in the daily affairs of the Su City Guard. After all, if they knew too much, and one day they betrayed him, there would be no way to undo the damage. So, he wanted to nip the danger in the bud.
However, the mobile warehouse is indeed very useful; one trip by her might be equivalent to five or six supply trucks making two trips.
In that case, Qin Yuncheng came up with a plan: Yuan Ruoxi would unload the supplies at a designated location, and then their guards would move the grain to a secret warehouse.
Sigh, it's exhausting. Although there's a saying, "Trust those you employ," they really don't dare take the risk, especially since someone's reputation isn't great.
Qin Yuncheng gave the order, and everyone sprang into action. However, he felt it was a waste to have people guarding the warehouse, so it would be better to move the rice and soybeans over there onto the carts first, so that Comrade Xiao Sun could move around freely.
Because it was difficult for Shen Yanming and his men to go up and down the wheat pit, they had to trouble the brothers who were carrying supplies outside the pit to go to the small warehouse and move some more sacks.
Since the rice and soybeans were already packed, it was very easy to move them; you could just stuff them into the truck bed.
However, there were still too few supply trucks. Even when both trucks were fully loaded, they couldn't move all the inventory in the small warehouse.
There was no other way but to let Sun Sainan continue guarding the small warehouse. Fortunately, Geng Zhixing didn't have to drive this time, so he could stay and chat with him.
Oh, by the way, Geng Zhixing's supply truck was requisitioned by the captain of the Su City guard team, who had come with Qin Yuncheng to inspect the scale of the grain shipment. His two teammates from the Imperial Capital guard team probably guessed their intentions, so they proactively avoided any appearance of impropriety.
However, when it came time to call Yuan Ruoxi to work, Qin Yuncheng almost lost his temper. The reason was simple: someone was using the same old trick again, threatening to take Tong Xianbao back to the guard team by refusing to cooperate.
Li Sikai's face darkened. Damn it, they never learn their lesson!
But Yuan Ruoxi had no time for such thoughts. She simply hadn't met someone so agreeable and didn't want to miss out on the pleasure of being flattered. So, when Tong Xianbao pretended to be innocent and deliberately said things that seemed ambiguous, this woman actually stood up for him and insisted on getting justice for him.
Qin Yuncheng was furious and really wanted to throw this thing out of the guard. But he couldn't make that decision, so he could only cast a sympathetic glance at Li Sikai.
Li Sikai's face darkened even more.
Perhaps because of the mutual hurt, Qin Yuncheng felt better seeing the other person's increasingly unpleasant expression. He thought he could just bear with it; after all, this guy wouldn't be here for long.
Moreover, they had no intention of exposing their secret warehouse to Yuan Ruoxi, so they nodded in agreement with a dark face.
“I’ll grant your request this time, but when you get there, remember to close your eyes and your mouth,” Qin Yuncheng said.
Yuan Ruoxi nodded, "Yes, yes, I understand the rules."
Then she patted Tong Xianbao's shoulder and said to her younger brother like an older sister, "The guard team has many forbidden areas. I'll take you to see them, but you have to forget them all after you leave."
Tong Xianbao nodded, but his eyes darted around where she couldn't see. He thought to himself, "What a joke! He finally has access to some core secrets, how could he possibly miss this opportunity?"
Qin Yuncheng naturally saw the interaction between the two. He sneered contemptuously, thinking, "Even if you are a space ability user, you are still someone excluded from the core. Those places you've been to are just the forbidden areas on the surface. As for the actual secret warehouses, those who aren't on our side have no idea where they are."
Therefore, you are far less important than you imagine.
After they left, Shen Yanming and Li Sikai sat down to rest. It was then that the two finally managed to strike up a conversation.
"Yanming, how many months pregnant is your wife? How come you're letting her go on this mission?" Li Sikai asked.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanming knew that the other party already knew about their transfer.
He smiled, gave a brief explanation, and then asked, "And you, why did you come to Suzhou? Is it because..."
Shen Yanming didn't spell it out, but everyone knew what he meant. Li Sikai nodded, "I've been here for a few months." He didn't say anything more.
Unfortunately, some things can be known by outsiders, while others need to be kept secret.
The two didn't dwell on the issue and instead started chatting about a few safer topics, such as the impact of the earthquake, the changes in the capital, Shanghai, and Suzhou before the earthquake, and the future development direction of the guard team.
Although these were all trivial matters, Li Sikai worked in the capital and had more comprehensive and extensive information than Shen Yanming. From his few words, Shen Yanming could deduce many directions for future reforms.
He didn't know whether the other party had revealed this intentionally or unintentionally, but he appreciated the favor.
The two chatted for a very long time until Qin Yuncheng returned with several cars. The drivers in the cars were all team leaders.
Then they continued working, transporting the wheat from the pit to the top.
Qin Yuncheng took Yuan Ruoxi to the small warehouse again to check on the soybeans and rice. Watching her put the sacks into her spatial storage, even though he didn't like her, Qin Yuncheng found it quite amazing.
After the warehouse was emptied, Qin Yuncheng asked Yuan Ruoxi, "How much space do you have left? How much grain can you store?"
Yuan Ruoxi checked the space with her consciousness and found that there was still more than ten square meters of space left. She shook her head and said, "I can put three or five more bags at most, not many."
"What a coincidence?" Qin Yuncheng thought the timing was too perfect.
"Yes, yes!" Yuan Ruoxi stammered under Captain Qin's powerful aura. She was planning to sneak in some wheat when no one was looking, and if her space was full, wouldn't she miss this great opportunity?
Qin Yuncheng was a man who had dealt with criminals countless times! He saw through Yuan Ruoxi's lie at a glance, but without evidence, he could only swallow his pride and admit it.
Then he took Yuan Ruoxi to the wheat pit and watched everyone continue working.
Seeing this, Li Sikai said to Qin Yuncheng, "Give her a few bags of wheat as payment for today. Yuan Ruoxi deserves much credit for finding this grain."
Upon hearing this, the woman's eyes widened in disbelief. She never imagined that the seemingly cold and unapproachable Captain Li would actually seek benefits for her.
