Lu Chen, who was having breakfast, knew something was wrong when he saw Qi Hongshen and Jiang Yong both come looking for him at this time.
Before he could even put down his chopsticks, he anxiously asked:
"What's wrong? Is something urgent?"
Qi Hongshen nodded slightly to him as a greeting, then asked:
"President Lu, are the medicines in the office building prepared for our base? When can we have them moved to the warehouse?"
Jiang Yong, standing beside him, nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Mr. Lu, with this weather, the frost and dew are heavy outside this morning, and those cardboard boxes have all gotten damp."
Lu Chen's reaction was exactly the same as Qi Hongshen's before; both were somewhat bewildered.
However, Lu Chen was also thinking about his deal with Li Xin'er. When the topic of medicine came up, he was momentarily confused, but then he immediately understood.
"The medicine has been delivered?!"
He hadn't expected Li Xin'er to be so quick; the list was only given out last night...
It's been delivered to the base already?
Jiang Yong answered Lu Chen's question with a smile.
"Yes, the medicine is right there, didn't you know?"
Jiang Yong and Qi Hongshen, based on Lu Chen's words, both assumed that he had made the arrangements, but he had only just woken up and was unaware of it.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen lost his appetite for breakfast and quickly got up to greet the two of them.
"Let's go take a look."
Lu Chen took the lead and strode out, not even having time to grab his coat.
Assistant Wang, who was behind him, quickly took a long black trench coat from the clothes rack, draped it over his arm, and chased after him.
Lu Chen, Lu Jin'an, and Lu Peiting all lived in a five-story building. This old-style dormitory building was originally the dormitory for officers of the military base, but it was all vacated this time and given to people from Kyoto for office and accommodation.
The group rushed downstairs, making quite a commotion. Lu Jin'an and Lu Peiting both came out of their respective rooms upon hearing the noise. Lu Peiting called out to Assistant Wang, who was at the back, and asked curiously:
"Uncle Wang, where is my third uncle going?"
Since they were all members of the Lu family, and Lu Chen hadn't specifically instructed them to keep it a secret, Assistant Wang didn't hide anything either, stating frankly:
"The medicine I ordered has arrived, and Mr. Lu is in a hurry to go see him."
Lu Jin'an wiped the large beads of sweat from her forehead with the white towel draped around her neck, somewhat surprised.
"So fast?"
Last night, their team was responsible for security at Li Xin'er and Lu Chen's dinner party, so they knew more than Lu Peiting.
At this moment, Lu Jin'an's military green T-shirt was soaked with sweat. The shirt clung to his skin, revealing his strong and well-defined muscles. It was clear that he had just finished his morning exercise.
Assistant Wang looked over and secretly admired Lu Jin'an's muscular physique; it looked incredibly solid! No wonder he was such a good fighter!
At the same time, he smiled politely and replied:
"We were also surprised. It was Commander Qi and his team who came to tell us, so President Lu rushed off to confirm it."
Upon hearing that it was about buying medicine and matters related to the base, Lu Peiting lost interest in asking any further questions and simply greeted Lu Jin'an.
"Brother, I'm going to have breakfast first."
Lu Jin'an nodded and gave a soft "hmm".
Assistant Wang, who was standing nearby, was also anxious to catch up with Lu Chen, and at the same time said to Lu Jin'an:
"I'll go find President Lu now."
As she spoke, she raised her arm to show him Lu Chen's coat.
"I still have Mr. Lu's coat with me."
Lu Jin'an nodded in agreement.
As soon as Assistant Wang left, Lu Jin'an immediately returned to the house, washed up and changed clothes, preparing to go and see what was going on.
He was still very curious about Li Xin'er's abilities.
On the other side, when Lu Chen and his group arrived at the office building, Lu Chen's heart jumped when he saw the piles of medicines.
It was a sudden sense of apprehension towards Li Xin'er's abilities.
Who exactly is she?
Lu Chen had his men quickly clean up the medicines and compile a list, while he went to the back of the office building to find Li Xin'er's RV.
It was too early; Li Xin'er hadn't gotten up yet. However, there was a yellow sticky note with writing on it on the door of the RV where Li Xin'er was staying.
The handwriting is very beautiful and powerful, with a neat and unrestrained style between the lines, each stroke vigorous and powerful.
The medicine has been delivered; please pay as soon as possible.
After reading the note, Lu Chen hesitated again. Was the note left by the person who delivered the medicine for Li Xin'er, or by Li Xin'er for him?
If it's the former, does that mean Li Xin'er has a previous employer?
As Lu Chen was deep in thought while looking at the note, Sister Xia opened the door of the RV next door and reminded him:
"Mr. Lu, that note was left for you by Xin'er."
Last night, when she was chatting with Li Xin'er, Li Xin'er mentioned that she didn't need to be woken up for breakfast this morning, as she wanted to sleep in.
There's no need to worry about the people at the base looking for her; she'll leave a note on the door beforehand.
Ge Qiuxia and Master Sun are used to getting up early. They were making breakfast when they heard some noise over here. Seeing Lu Chen staring blankly at the note, she reminded him.
Ge Qiuxia's words interrupted Lu Chen's deep thoughts and indirectly broke his first idea.
He took the note, chatted with Sister Xia for a bit, and said goodbye to Master Sun before leaving.
Back in the office building, Lu Chen encountered Lu Jin'an, who had finished tidying up and come to check on the situation.
Lu Chen called him along and went to Qi Hongshen's office to wait for the people downstairs to move the medicines to the warehouse and to make a list.
Jiang Yong was also there, and the four of them sat together. Lu Chen naturally asked about what happened last night.
"Have you asked everyone? Did no one see anything?"
Qi Hongshen was in the safe zone outside last night, and he also looked at Jiang Yong.
Jiang Yong nodded, somewhat incredulous, yet also tinged with a hint of horror.
"We asked everyone on duty in the office building last night, but no one knows when it appeared."
Qi Hongshen refused to believe it and pressed for an answer.
"Did you ask the security guards all those questions?"
Jiang Yong nodded again, "Not to mention the base gate guards, we even asked all the patrol guards in the outer security zone, and no vehicles entered the base last night."
After a brief pause, Jiang Yong emphasized and added,
"No, there aren't any vehicles, not even anyone entering the base."
Qi Hongshen frowned, puzzled.
"That's really strange. How did she manage to get all these medicines in?"
Lu Chen and Lu Jin'an, standing beside him, both had similarly expressionless faces, deep eyes, and were silently pondering.
They could roughly guess the answer to this question, since three RVs could accommodate space-type ability users, so it wouldn't be surprising to store some supplies there as well.
However, Jiang Yong and Qi Hongshen are unaware of this matter, and Lu Chen and the others have not revealed much more information about Li Xin'er to the outside world for the time being.
At this moment, Lu Chen and Lu Jin'an were racking their brains trying to figure out where these supplies came from.
The medicines were sorted out quickly, and Lu Chen made a copy of the list he had given to Li Xin'er and handed it to Lu Jin'an.
"I'll leave this to you to take stock of."
"Okay." After Lu Jin'an took the list, Jiang Yong and Qi Hongshen also took their leave and went about their own business.
With the medicine issue resolved, there are still many other miscellaneous matters to attend to at the base.
