In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 226 Having Chips
After this happened, Qiao Yu and the other three were no longer in the mood to take on the mission and went straight home.
After two days of recuperation, Huayue has basically recovered completely and is now squatting in the yard playing with Wang Zha.
"Captain Qiao, Mr. Jiang, you're back..." Hua Yue heard the sound of Qiao Yu and the other three coming back, so she stood up with her legs propped up and greeted them with a smile.
Seeing that Hua Yue looked good and moved very flexibly, Qiao Yu guessed that her wound must have healed.
"Yes, Huayue, are your injuries healed yet?"
"Yes, he has fully recovered." Hua Yue said, and then stood in front of Qiao Yu and turned around, "Look, there is no problem at all."
Qiao Yu smiled and said, "That's good!"
"Captain Qiao, now that my wound has healed, I won't bother you any more... I'll go out and look for a house after lunch!" Hua Yue said sincerely.
Qiao Yu thought about it, and finally waved her, "Don't worry, take your time to look for a place. You can stay here until you find a house."
Although Qiao Yu felt that Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue were very likely, they had not made much progress at present. Hua Yue was not a member of the Pendulum, so there was no reason to keep her.
Moreover, Qiao Yu had helped her many times before by using Hua Yue to speak for her, so this reason obviously could not be used again.
So Qiao Yu simply let him go. As for what happens in the future, let's talk about it later.
"Thank you, Captain Qiao!" Hua Yue bowed to Qiao Yu with tears of gratitude.
Yu Qingchuan came back at noon.
Due to the "squatting" behavior of four people this morning, Yu Qingchuan hurried back during the lunch break of the research institute.
"What's going on with you today? Why did you actually go to the waiting room?" Yu Qingchuan asked anxiously as he entered the door.
Qiao Yu and the other three were having lunch, and they were quite surprised to see Yu Qingchuan come back at this time.
Qiao Yu took out another set of bowls and chopsticks from the space and set them aside, letting Yu Qingchuan sit down and talk while eating.
"We really are just unlucky." Qiao Yu said seriously, then turned and asked, "How did you know the news so quickly? We just arrived at the West District Prison, and you came to rescue us right after."
Yu Qingchuan sighed helplessly, "It wasn't me who rescued you. It was Commander Xie who rescued you. He just sent someone to inform me and Professor Kang after he was done."
"Hmm? Thank you, Commander?"
Qiao Yu was slightly stunned. Why did he suddenly feel like he was crying at the wrong grave?
"Yes." Yu Qingchuan nodded, "It's Commander Xie of the Eastern Military Region, Xie Ping'an."
Qiao Yu thought about it and quickly understood.
——Sure enough, Feng Xing was not the only one staring at Li Pingwei.
The people they found following Li Pingwei at the mercenary hunter center were most likely hired by several groups of people.
Cheng Sinian had obviously thought of this as well. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that Commander Xie might not really want this Li Pingwei."
Since he paid such close attention to Li Pingwei's movements but did not extend an olive branch like Commander Feng, it was enough to prove that he was just afraid of Li Pingwei's ability, rather than wanting to recruit him.
I have to say that Commander Xie is worthy of being Professor Kang’s friend. He has a keen eye.
When Qiao Yu heard Cheng Sinian's words, he suddenly smiled and said, "Li Pingwei...I guess there will be a result soon."
"Besides, shouldn't we go and thank Commander Xie?"
Jiang Zhan was feeding Qiao Yu and nodded suddenly when he heard this. "Thank you."
Qiao Yu was stunned and suddenly forgot to chew the food in his mouth.
"A Zhan, why are you so active all of a sudden?"
Jiang Zhan scratched Qiao Yu's nose and whispered, "Don't you want to get in touch with the military district's leaders?"
"That's true..." Qiao Yu swallowed the food in his mouth, then opened his mouth to take the food Jiang Zhan fed him, and then said vaguely: "But we don't have any bargaining chips now. Even if we make contact, there is nothing to talk about."
"How can there be no bargaining chips?" Jiang Zhan chuckled again, "Isn't the matter of the 331st Legion the best bargaining chip?"
Qiao Yu paused while chewing. Yes, she had almost forgotten about it.
Although the specific composition of the medicine of the 331st Legion has not yet been analyzed, they now have the powder and witnesses, so they can express their goodwill and demonstrate their value to Commander Xie.
"It's a good idea, but Brother Zhan..." Cheng Sinian looked at Jiang Zhan with some suspicion, "Why haven't I seen you mention this before?"
Jiang Zhan still looked at Qiao Yu tenderly and wiped the corner of Qiao Yu's mouth with a tissue. "Because there was no Li Pingwei before. But now... I'm afraid that soon, our special abilities will be revealed."
What this means is that Li Pingwei will soon become the first natural mutant to be experimented on at the G City Survivor Base.
Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows with a sly smile, "Are you so sure Feng Xing won't want Li Pingwei anymore?"
"What if he's not in his right mind and insists on taking him in?"
Jiang Zhan continued to smile, "Then find a way to wake him up."
"Even if he doesn't care about Li Pingwei's reputation and stupidity, if he finds that Li Pingwei can't provide him with corresponding value, will he continue to tolerate Li Pingwei?"
Relationships maintained by interests are destined to be destroyed by interests.
Hearing this, Cheng Sinian smiled even more cunningly, "When it comes to being insidious, it has to be Brother Zhan!"
When Qiao Yu heard Cheng Sinian say Jiang Zhan was insidious, he immediately became unhappy and bared his teeth and shouted, "You are the insidious one! Our Ah Zhan is just smart!"
Cheng Sinian touched his nose and said, "Okay, okay, your husband is smart, okay!"
Yu Qingchuan watched Cheng Sinian get humiliated and laughed for a long time, then said seriously, "If you really want to see Commander Xie, I can arrange it for you."
Qiao Yu frowned and thought for a while, "Let's wait for two more days. After Li Pingwei's matter is settled, we can make arrangements."
"Okay." Yu Qingchuan nodded. "We can also wait for the powder test results from the research institute in the next two days."
"Huh?" Qiao Yu blinked. "Didn't you say that you're currently working on the Branmai project and all other projects are on hold?"
"This isn't a private job." Yu Qingchuan sighed, "You're the boss. How could I not do the work you assign?"
"Oh right, there's also the matter of Manman."
"I've already told Professor Kang about this. Professor Kang and I will find time to discuss and resolve this privately."
"However, we still have to focus on the Bran Wheat project. Don't you also hope that this project will be implemented as soon as possible?"
