Li Xin'er hadn't expected Sister Xia to arrive at the base so quickly, but she didn't intend to involve Sister Xia in this matter.
"No need, there's still some time before dinner, I'll just go check on her."
As she spoke, Li Xin'er stood up, realizing that there was nothing to talk about with Lu Chen while she was sitting there.
Lu Chen, being perceptive, didn't suggest going together, but instead gestured to his assistant beside him.
"Then I won't disturb your reunion. Assistant Wang will take you there."
Li Xin'er nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, thank you."
Assistant Wang, also a middle-aged man, was dressed in a neat dark blue suit, his hair was styled meticulously, and he looked very shrewd.
He nodded respectfully to Li Xin'er, gesturing for her to proceed.
"Miss Xin, this way please."
As the group left the office building, Li Xin'er suddenly realized that Xia Jie's place probably wasn't very spacious, and it would be somewhat inconvenient for Zhan Yi and his dozen or so men to accompany them.
She turned to Carl and instructed him:
"You guys can wander around here for a bit, I'll be right back."
Carl had also considered this point. Secondly, he felt that since it was an official base, it wasn't appropriate for them to wander around aimlessly, lest they cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"good."
Then he suggested asking Li Xin'er:
"How about Gavin goes with you?"
Since I'm visiting a friend and don't know what the situation is, Gavin, being a doctor, might be able to help if needed.
Li Xin'er was about to say it wasn't necessary, but Gavin, who was behind her, heard that there was a chance to go with Li Xin'er, and without hesitation, he stepped forward.
"Okay, Sister Xin, I'll go with you?"
Since awakening his superpowers last time, Gavin has become more aware of his identity and has started calling her Sister Xin like everyone else.
Li Xin'er glanced at Gavin, and seeing that he really wanted to go, she agreed.
"Um."
Seeing that they had finished discussing it, Assistant Wang, who was standing nearby, then spoke up:
"If you're not going to the dormitory building, you can take a stroll around the base. I'll have someone show you the way."
Because he heard Carl and the others speaking in a foreign language, Assistant Wang also adapted by speaking to Carl and the others in the same foreign language.
Carl politely declined.
"No need, we can just wait here for a while."
"That won't do, it's too cold outside. Let's go inside and sit for a while."
Assistant Wang knew the importance of these distinguished guests from his boss's attitude towards them, and he certainly wouldn't let them just stand there waiting.
Without further ado, he called to the guards on duty at the door and led Carl and the others to the reception room to rest.
This time Carl didn't refuse. He greeted Li Xin'er and led the others to the meeting room in the office building.
Li Xin'er, holding Wenwen's hand and leading Gavin, arrived at Xia Jie's dormitory building under the guidance of Assistant Wang.
The moment she entered the dormitory building, Li Xin'er frowned slightly.
There were too many people, and to keep warm, many windows were not opened, resulting in a pungent mix of various smells.
On the way here, Li Xin'er already learned from Assistant Wang that this dormitory building was the best accommodation area in the base.
The other facilities are either warehouses or playgrounds, and in this freezing winter weather, it's even harder to endure...
It wasn't dark yet, and the dormitory building still had no electricity, but the room was already quite dim.
Many people were getting some fresh air and light in the stairwell when Li Xin'er and her group arrived, drawing curious glances from everyone.
Putting aside her outstanding appearance, her clean attire and status as a foreigner made her seem out of place here.
The people in the dormitory have been living together for several days and are familiar with each other, often chatting. Now, many of them have started whispering among themselves.
Some people were suspicious, "Weren't there no vacant beds? Why are they still bringing people in?"
Some people exclaimed, "That woman is really beautiful, and she looks very young."
Some people worried, "Why is there a foreigner here? Our own people are still freezing on the playground. We can't let him stay here."
"Are you stupid? Didn't you see that man had a gun on his waist? He's a soldier, probably here to escort that family of three."
Everyone was talking at once, each with their own ideas, and when they all came together, the storybook was almost ready to be published.
Assistant Wang was clearly here for the first time as well, carefully avoiding the people sitting in the hallway while looking at the room numbers.
"3-12, it should be just ahead."
Just as the four of them reached the door, they suddenly heard a child crying inside.
Li Xin'er stood at the door and looked inside. She saw a woman with wide hips and a thick waist; she was very fat, at least 180 or 190 pounds.
She had shoulder-length, light brown curly hair, which was tied messily at the back of her head.
His hair was so greasy that it reflected light when viewed from the doorway.
She was wrapped in a thick, long black cotton-padded coat, and was eating something half-heartedly.
Standing in front of her was a little boy, only as tall as her thigh, holding a sausage in his fist, wailing loudly.
The original owner had met Sister Xia's son, and she had also seen a photo of the mother and son on Sister Xia's desk.
Li Xin'er recognized that the one crying was Ranran, but before she could go inside,
Ge Qiuxia rushed out of the bathroom, her face full of anxiety. She knelt down, hugged Ranran tightly, and asked anxiously:
"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
As she asked the question, her hands frantically checked Ranran's body, afraid that he might be injured somewhere.
And it was at this glance that one noticed a large chunk of the sausage in Ranran's hand was missing.
She had just opened the door for Ranran, and then went inside to hang up a towel...
Ge Qiuxia instantly understood, and her sharp gaze shot towards the fat woman beside her.
