Chapter 173 What a coincidence, we meet again.



Li Xin'er returned to the base with the cassowary and Ali Gang. Lu Chen arrived at the location of the RV, accompanied by Lu Jin'an and Assistant Wang.

The moment Li Xin'er saw Lu Jin'an, she already had a guess in her mind. The appearance of this team here could not be a coincidence.

It seems the higher-ups are taking this very seriously; Li Xin'er is quite satisfied with the business she mentioned.

You should take it seriously. She's not afraid of being investigated; she's just afraid you won't take it seriously.

Li Xin'er asked with a hint of joking, "President Lu, are you here for a visit or to inspect our work?"

Lu Chen naturally replied, "Since I know you're staying here temporarily, I should at least come and see if there's anything I can do to help. If you have any requests, just let me know."

"Oh, by the way, are the drivers you asked for yesterday enough? Should I arrange a few more for you?"

As he spoke, he looked around, not seeing Carl or the others, and without giving Li Xin'er a chance to reply, he continued:

"Everyone else has been sent out? Looks like you're quite busy too."

Li Xin'er could clearly see through the smiling tiger's tricks.

The table was still set up at lunchtime, and Li Xin'er invited them to sit down and chat.

"Come sit down and talk. Don't just stand there. I'm doing alright, not too busy. Compared to you, I'm definitely nothing."

Seeing her perfunctory answer, Lu Chen didn't press the matter further and approached her.

"Okay, by the way, I forgot to introduce you, this is my nephew, Lu Jin'an."

As he spoke, he pointed to Lu Jin'an beside him and introduced him.

Lu Jin'an nodded slightly to Li Xin'er with a serious expression, his voice deep and magnetic.

"Hello."

Li Xin'er had already sat down. She glanced at Lu Jin'an, feigning surprise.

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

After saying that, he turned to Lu Chen and continued:

"So he's your nephew too. After all this time, we're all old acquaintances."

After Lu Chen sat down, he placed his hands on his knees. Upon hearing this, his suppressed gaze swept back and forth between Li Xin'er and Lu Jin'an.

Have you met before?

Lu Jin'an cooperated very well, speaking with the respect of a junior who reveres an elder, and patiently explaining.

"Yes, I saw him once recently when I was on a mission in Haishi."

Lu Chen suddenly realized and laughed, "Oh~ that's quite a coincidence."

Li Xin'er raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling rather bored. She was happy to play along with the two of them, but that didn't mean she would always comply.

He still spoke in a sarcastic tone, making a veiled sarcasm.

"Isn't it a coincidence? Last time it was because of Fu Xihan, right? This time, President Lu is here because of the Fu family. It seems that you uncle and nephew are destined to be connected with the Fu family."

Lu Chen thought to himself, rather than saying it was the Fu family, it was more like they were destined to be together.

But how could we not be destined to meet? I came here specifically for her.

But he was all smiles, as if he were just having a casual chat.

"Haha, that's true. By the way, did Master Sun come to your place today? I haven't seen him around."

He then changed the subject again.

Li Xin'er looked up at the RV in the middle; the door was closed and no one was inside.

She, Ali, and He Tuo had just returned when Lu Chen arrived, before they even had a chance to look for anyone.

However, when she left today, Sister Xia pulled her into the RV and spoke to her privately.

"The sun is nice this afternoon, so I'd like to take the two kids for a walk around the base later."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice and said:

“I heard that the expanded safe zone outside is almost cleared. It’s not good for us to keep living in RVs. I’ll go and find out how the houses are divided.”

After she finished speaking, her voice returned to normal.

"Don't worry, the base is relatively safe during the day. There are managers and patrols everywhere, so nothing will happen."

Li Xin'er didn't care about these houses or anything, but it would be boring to keep them in the RV all the time, so it would be nice for them to wander around the base.

I didn't stop Sister Xia, but I told her to be careful and to keep the satellite phone with her at all times so she could contact me if anything happened.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xin'er replied:

"Yes, I officially started work at noon. I should be going for a walk with Sister Xia right now."

Lu Chen smiled warmly, appearing as a considerate former customer to his long-time employee.

"You must be feeding more than a dozen people each time, right? Does that mean Old Sun has a lot of work to do? Should I arrange a few more people for you to help him out or something?"

Perfect, they're all tools that Old Sun is comfortable using, so they work well together.

Li Xin'er replied casually, "Then there's no need to trouble yourself for now. It's just the few of us around recently; the others aren't here."

She knew Lu Chen was testing her, but she did it on purpose, like squeezing toothpaste, letting it leak out little by little.

You ask a question, I'll answer it with one sentence, and I won't explain anything further.

Even if Lu Chen knew, he still had to bite the bullet and keep asking.

"There aren't that many people. Master Sun can handle it alone. As for those people, if I'm not mistaken, they should be Zhan Yi's men, right? Did they go back to Y country?"

When he asked that question, Lu Jin'an, who had been somewhat distracted, suddenly focused his attention.

They pricked up their ears, waiting for Li Xin'er's answer.

Li Xin'er maintained complete control of the entire situation with her spiritual power; even if his heart beat a little faster, she remained fully aware of it.

Therefore, Lu Jin'an's reaction was also noticed by her, and she couldn't help but find it a little funny.

His tone was always smiling as he spoke.

"Shouldn't you have thoroughly investigated whether they are from Zhan Yi or not?"

She turned to look at Lu Jin'an, a slight smile playing on her lips, and asked deliberately:
