However, after turning the corner, they saw two women surrounding Cheng Zhen, and a group of four or five people following Old Chen to visit the forest farm.
Jiang Wan stopped and looked around the forest farm to make sure there were no problems before turning to Yu Fen, who was following closely behind him, looking anxious and sweating profusely despite the cold winter weather. He asked with his eyes: What's going on?
Yu Fen opened his mouth, but what was he supposed to say?
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the forest farm.
The main reason is that Cheng Zhen is quite sensitive to Jiang Wan's aura. As soon as she arrived, he knew it and then walked towards her as if no one else was there.
The two women who had been surrounding him but hadn't received a single glance from him both looked at Jiang Wan.
Xu Xiaoling remained calm, because this wasn't the first time she had seen Jiang Wan. She had seen her before at the First People's Hospital of Xiangcheng and knew that she and Captain Cheng had given birth to twins!
She had already inquired and found that Captain Cheng was not married, and she had never heard of him having a girlfriend over the years!
So how did Jiang Wan and her twins come to be?
Tsk tsk, having a child out of wedlock, how shameless!
Lian Jiaojiao, however, looked jealous, her eyes scanning Jiang Wan's entire body like a powerful scanner.
This woman managed to catch Cheng Zhen's attention the moment she arrived! What's so special about her?
Old Chen greeted Jiang Wan and then introduced her to the people around him: "This is Jiang Wan, the only botany expert in Xiangcheng."
He then said to Jiang Wan, "This is Secretary-General Lian from Xiangcheng and his assistant, Xiao Huo. These two are doctors from Xiangcheng First People's Hospital, here to provide systematic treatment for the infected people in our camp."
Jiang Wan subtly raised an eyebrow, noticing that Chen Liang had introduced her as "the only botany expert."
So, has Li Siming been completely kicked out by him?
She nodded coolly to Secretary-General Lian and the others, which was considered a greeting. She didn't have a very good impression of the people who came from the inner city.
It must have been about ten days since the infected person developed symptoms, right?
Why are they only sending someone now?
Hehe, anyone with eyes can see what they're up to.
Jiang Wan's indifferent attitude made Lian Chuan take a second look, but he was no ordinary person to have risen to the position of Secretary-General of Xiangcheng at such a young age, so he could tell at a glance that there was more to her and Cheng Zhen than met the eye.
He didn't say anything, but Xiao Huo and the two female doctors were displeased. So what if she was the only botany expert? Right now, standing in front of her was Secretary-General Lian, who was second only to the emperor in Xiangcheng!
Jiang Wan's attitude is actually like this?
She's tired of living!
Xiao Huo glanced at Lian Jiaojiao, then emphasized to Jiang Wan, "This is Secretary-General Lian!"
He stood straight, his gaze sharp, his face serious, exuding an air of oppressive power.
Such bureaucratic tricks were commonplace before the oxygen-deprived apocalypse, and have become even more rampant since. Jiang Wan was used to it and remained calm, simply reaching into his pockets with both hands.
Old Chen had long disliked the way things were done in the inner city, and Jiang Wan was now a talent he valued; how could he let a mere assistant bully her?
He turned around to face Jiang Wan without making a sound, which conveniently blocked Xiao Huo's angry glare, and then said, "Xiao Wan, you've been working hard lately. This forest farm is all managed by you, and you've done such a good job. It's all thanks to you!"
As he spoke, he subtly winked, reminding her not to let slip that Li Siming was mentioned!
Jiang Wan isn't stupid. Li Siming was brought back by Cheng Zhen after he secretly destroyed the "Chaoyang" organization. To this day, the inner city still doesn't know who wiped out "Chaoyang" in one fell swoop!
If people knew that Li Siming was here, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that the outer city camp was related to the suppression of "Chaoyang"?
She gave Old Chen a reassuring look and casually replied, "Everyone has worked hard."
That's true; she was just an instructor, while the labor was done by the city guards.
She wasn't good at handling these kinds of situations, and after saying that, she was about to leave. Cheng Zhen also didn't like these kinds of situations; he had an aura of "keep away" throughout. Now that he saw her about to leave, he immediately followed.
Besides, the city only sent out these few small fry, which is enough for Old Chen to handle!
Wouldn't it be a waste of his talents to have him stay here?
Lian Jiaojiao had long disliked Jiang Wan's aloof, noble, and superior attitude!
She's clearly the rich heiress!
She is the one of noble birth who deserves Cheng Zhen's respect and gentle treatment!
What is this yellow-faced expert who digs in the dirt?
But Jiang Wan's fair and delicate face shone with a soft glow in the sunlight, and coincidentally, Cheng Zhen's eyes had never left her since she arrived!
Now that she wants to leave, he actually wants to go with her?
Even Jiaojiao is here!
She was furious and immediately shouted, "Stop!"
Almost as soon as she opened her mouth, Lian Chuan called out to her, "Jiao Jiao."
Then give a warning look, reminding them to be mindful of the occasion and their status, and not to embarrass themselves.
Lian Jiaojiao pouted and said angrily, "We're here to treat patients! What's with us standing here in the cold wind?"
Lian Chuan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and then he looked at Old Chen without making a sound.
After Lian Jiaojiao finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Wan provocatively: "Are you taking me to see the infected people? Don't just stand there, lead the way!"
Yu Guang clung to Cheng Zhen, then walked arrogantly to Jiang Wan, his pointed chin held high, his eyes deliberately lowered, and commanded Jiang Wan with a haughty air: "Let's go!"
Jiang Wan's gaze fell on her pointed chin, secretly wondering how many surgeries she had undergone. The chin was so sharp that it could probably pierce through an egg pancake.
He completely ignored her provocative attitude and instead felt confused, wondering if this woman was sick.
Cheng Zhen protected Jiang Wan, nodded to Lian Chuan, and said, "Expert Jiang Wan has been going out to dig up green plants to take care of these precious Class II protected wild plants. She hasn't had a good night's sleep for several days. I'll take her back to rest first."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone's reaction, he reached out and casually put his arm around Jiang Wan's shoulder, then led her away.
Jiang Wan took a quicker step to create some distance between them, and Cheng Zhen naturally withdrew his hand.
Old Chen quickly laughed it off: "Yes, haha, our expert Xiao Wan is too tired. She can't help with treating patients. Are you two doctors going to see patients now? You are truly compassionate doctors! It's rare to see such kindness!"
Then he instructed Yu Fen, who was standing by like a shadow, "Take the two doctors to the infected area! Make sure everyone wears masks! No unrelated people should come out!"
Yu Fen immediately understood; Huang Ying couldn't show her face either!
Then he led the way in a serious and methodical manner, while inwardly cursing all these pretentious people!
Those two siblings surnamed Lian are no good! If it weren't for them, his eldest brother would have already stormed into Dragon City and made a name for himself!
Why should I stay here as a company commander in an outer city camp?
Lian Jiaojiao followed along unwillingly, frequently turning back to look at Cheng Zhen.
