Chapter 195 Having you all is truly my blessing
Wen Qing placed the porcelain bowl in front of Lu Beiye: "Aye, eat it while it's hot."
In front of Lu Beiye, there was a steamed egg with shrimp so tender it could ripple, a vegetable porridge topped with a small carrot flower, and a small dish of fruit and nuts.
—These days, whenever possible, Wen Qing insists on giving Lu Beiye the most meticulous care.
Lu Beiye: "Thank you, Sister Wenqing."
After the meal, Chi Yanzhou and the other boys planned to find Zhong Song, using the pretext of "job hunting" to sneak into the area where the base chief lived...
Before we even set off, a rhythmic knocking sound came from the courtyard gate.
Zhong Song slipped into the courtyard, sweat still clinging to his forehead.
He lowered his voice and spoke rapidly: "Zhao Huan's father has mobilized all his trusted men to search for his daughter. Someone identified Zhao Huan as having been last seen in the villa area! The base commander told me to inform you that you should lay low at the villa for the next couple of days..."
Lu Xici raised an eyebrow: "Captain Zhong is joking. We're new here and don't even know who Zhao Huan is..."
Outside the courtyard wall, the sound of Hong's footsteps grew closer.
"Remember to report any leads immediately!" Zhong Song slammed the door shut, and as he turned around, he "coincidentally" bumped into Captain Hong.
He rubbed his shoulder and gave a wry smile: "Is Captain Hong here to check up on things?"
Captain Hong squinted at the tightly closed courtyard gate: "Oh, even our Captain Zhong gets turned away at the door?"
"Hey, everyone living here is a big shot, right?" Zhong Song shrugged. "I'm just destined to be a gofer."
Team Leader Hong: "Did Team Leader Zhong find out anything? If we don't finish this job, none of us will be happy!"
Zhong Song shrugged: "Nothing unusual was found."
A slightly familiar, cursing voice came from nearby, and everyone, including Lu Nange and her group in the courtyard, turned to look.
Yuri: "That Zhao Huan, that idiot with underdeveloped cerebellum and completely underdeveloped brain, is always causing trouble. He might get eaten by zombies. What does that have to do with me?"
The officer in the red uniform took a half step back: "Ms. You, this is just a routine inquiry ordered from above. Please cooperate..."
Yuri: "Cooperate? You want to come into my house? Does my husband know?"
Captain Hong stepped forward with a grim face: "This is Mr. Zhao's order."
"Send that Zhao guy here in person! Let's see if he dares to search my house!" Yuri suddenly unleashed a blazing fireball from her palm: "Are you leaving or not? If you don't, I won't be so polite..."
"Ms. You, please don't be angry. We'll go get Mr. Zhao right away." Captain Hong gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Withdraw!"
Zhong Song gave Lu Nange and her group a deep look, then led his men to follow Hong's group.
Only after the footsteps had faded away did everyone take off their masks.
Yuri approached with a "clack-clack" of high heels, her fiery red lips curving into a smile.
Upon seeing Lu Nange and the others clearly, they exclaimed, "Wow, such beautiful girls! It's a real treat to the eyes!"
She suddenly lowered her voice: "But you guys have to be careful in this world. Those two guys in our base, surnamed Zhao and Hong, aren't good people. They're ruthless!"
Lu Nange's eyes flickered slightly: "Thank you, Sister Youli. We've just arrived and aren't familiar with our base yet. Could you tell us about it?"
Yuri: "Come on in, why don't you come to my house for a bit? I'll tell you something."
Lu Nange and the others exchanged glances: "Then we'll have to trouble you!"
Yuri: "Don't mention it! I'll go prepare some tea first. Come over after you've closed the door!"
After Yuli walked away, Lu Nange took out the vegetables and some packaged snacks she had bought at the market yesterday from her spatial storage in a blind corner inside the door.
"Shall we take these? It's not really convenient to bring anything else."
Wen Qing: "There are many of us, it would be appropriate to take some things with us..."
He Zhuo stopped Chi Yanzhou and the others: "Let Mei Bao and the others go visit that older sister, and we'll go ask about the 'working like cattle' thing, shall we?"
Everyone collectively facepalmed...
He Zhuo: "No... what does this mean?"
Gu Wan slapped him on the back: "If you can't figure it out, just learn from me—" She made a zipper-sealing motion: "Shut up, just follow the organization!"
He Zhuo tugged at Gu Qi's sleeve, looking aggrieved. "I don't quite understand, so please tell me!"
Lu Nange: "Brother Zhuo, what did that little Li say was their base commander's last name yesterday?"
He Zhuo scratched his head: "Let me think, it seems like the surname is Liu..."
"So—" He Zhuo and Gu Wan exclaimed in unison, "You Li is the base commander's wife?!"
At the same time, Ji Xian, Chi Yi, Luo Xingyou, and Wen Qing...
He Zhuo looked at the group of people who suddenly realized what was happening: "Wait, you all don't know, you just collectively facepalmed at me?"
Ji Xian: "We knew you'd ask, so we'll just wait."
Luo Xingyou: "It's good that Nan Nan and the others know what's going on. They'll tell us when it's our turn!"
Chi Yi: "Young Master and Miss Nan Nan's judgment is correct!"
Wen Qing: "Xiao He... um... you're Wen Qing's mouth double..."
He Zhuo glared fiercely: "Having you all is truly my blessing..."
