"I..." Yu Wanling was speechless.
Lu Jin'an glanced at a corner behind Yu Wanling, seemingly unintentionally.
He sensed from the beginning that someone was watching them from the shadows.
No, to be precise, they were the people monitoring Yu Wanling.
It's obvious that Liu Zhiyuan arranged this; releasing Yu Wanling was just a long-term strategy to catch a bigger fish.
Lu Jin'an made a move to leave again. Yu Wanling hadn't expected him to be so cold-hearted. Since being gentle didn't work, she had to try another method.
Are you sure you don't want to?
Lu Jin'an slightly lifted her eyelids, but this time she didn't reply at all.
Although Yu Wanling is a key figure, he wouldn't go so far as to trade his marriage away.
Not only would it not work for him, but even his father and the entire Lu family would despise this behavior; it's a path only the weak would choose.
Yu Wanling was furious; she was a woman of great fortune with a system!
Yu Wanling took a deep breath and said earnestly to Lu Jin'an:
"I'm giving you one last chance. If you agree, everything that's mine will be yours, and I can give you anything you want. Do you understand?"
No matter how many people the system will let her win over later, Lu Jin'an is at least the first one she liked, and she is a special one.
Because of this special connection, he will always have a place by her side.
Even if she just let a little bit slip through her fingers, wouldn't that be enough to make Lu Jin'an 'feast'?
Lu Jin'an didn't answer, but looked Yu Wanling up and down as if she were an idiot, then turned and left even faster than before.
Yu Wanling was about to call out to him again when she heard a chillingly sharp word drifting from ahead.
"roll."
Yu Wanling couldn't bring herself to call for help. She watched helplessly as Lu Jin'an left, stamping her foot in resentment and gritting her teeth as she said:
"I hope you won't regret it!"
She'll make him regret it!
Since there's no progress with Lu Jin'an, she'll put this mission aside for now. Once she reaches a level that Lu Jin'an can't reach, getting Lu Jin'an will be as simple as a word from her.
Yu Wanling envisioned a beautiful future.
Li Xin'er watched the whole thing online, and even she thought Lu Jin'an was a bit silly.
Such a great opportunity, practically delivered to his doorstep, and he even took the door off his back and had someone carry him away...
She slowly got up, opened the door, and went out.
The two soldiers guarding her door immediately bowed respectfully to her.
"Hello, Miss Li."
"Miss Li, please feel free to tell us if you need anything."
This was the first time Li Xin'er had gone out on her own initiative in the past few days. She couldn't be sure whether the two people Lu Zheng sent to guard the door, besides preventing anyone from disturbing her, also included prohibiting her from going out, or whether she had to go out with them.
She tentatively asked, "I need to go out, is that alright?"
The two men were alarmed and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Of course, Miss Li, you are our honored guest. Please feel free to ask us for anything you need."
Li Xin'er nodded, "Then I'd like to go out alone, is it okay if I don't take you guys?"
The two nodded in unison, "Of course, we won't interfere with Miss Li's private life."
Li Xin'er was satisfied with the answer, but she didn't really intend to go out alone. She just wanted to clarify Lu Zheng's and the others' attitude.
"Okay, then take me to the base commander. I need to talk to him."
Without hesitation, the two agreed. "Miss Li, this way please."
Li Xin'er put her hands in her pockets. "Why didn't I contact him beforehand? What if he's busy?"
One person, with a smile and a slightly ingratiating tone, explained:
"The base commander specifically instructed that no matter when, you can go directly to him if it's something you need to do."
After he finished speaking, he looked expectantly at Li Xin'er's expression, hoping to see a satisfied or happy look on her face...
As a result, Li Xin'er didn't react much, and just casually said...
"Oh, well, the base commander has thought things through quite thoroughly."
The person leading the way was initially a little disappointed, since the previous words had carried a hint of deliberate flattery.
Unfortunately, there was little response.
But thinking about it, it seems normal. After all, this is a distinguished guest whom even the base commander treats with respect. How could he be easily moved by such special treatment?
Normally, entering Lu Zheng's office would require a very strict check, but Li Xin'er was led there without any hindrance.
After the order was placed, Lu Zheng thought Li Xin'er would leave the base, but she stayed in the house the whole time and didn't even go out.
This was something Lu Zheng found utterly baffling.
Could she possibly be manufacturing supplies inside the house?
When Li Xin'er came to see him today, his first thought was that Li Xin'er might be leaving the base and had come to tell him.
After all, we agreed to deliver the supplies today, and it's still morning. As long as we deliver them before midnight, it won't be considered a breach of contract.
As Lu Zheng rose to greet him, he casually asked:
"Is Miss Li going out?"
Li Xin'er had just sat down on the sofa at the guest table and was still a little taken aback by what she heard.
Why do you ask that?
Her question made Lu Zheng less certain. He smiled and said, "I'm guessing."
Li Xin'er suddenly realized why he asked that question, and shrugged, saying with some regret:
"Then the base commander is wrong."
"I'm here to complete the transaction. Is now a convenient time for you?"
Lu Zheng was both surprised and felt that it was something he had expected.
If she didn't surprise people, she wouldn't be Li Xin'er.
The matter of supplies was more important, so Lu Zheng didn't think twice and immediately nodded.
"Of course, I'll arrange it right now."
As he spoke, he hurriedly got up and went to the office door to have someone call over Minister Wang of the Logistics Department.
Minister Wang had been counting down the days, and today, as soon as he heard Lu Zheng call him, he guessed it was about supplies.
He rushed to Lu Zheng's office as fast as he could, still panting heavily when he reached the door, extremely excited.
"Base Commander... Ha... You were looking for me!"
Looking up and seeing Li Xin'er chatting with Lu Zheng in the office, Minister Wang's smile widened even further.
"Miss Li is here too!"
The supplies are here!
Seeing his spineless appearance, Lu Zheng didn't waste any more time and said directly:
"It's about supplies. Miss Li has already made preparations, and you'll be in charge of receiving them."
Minister Wang was thrilled; finally, supplies were arriving! He nodded happily.
"Of course, I've been prepared for this for a long time."
After he finished speaking, he gave Lu Zheng a reassuring look.
The two understood what he meant: he had already made arrangements to ensure that Li Xin'er's affairs would not be exposed and that she would avoid Liu Zhiyuan's 'sight'.
Meanwhile, in his office, Liu Zhiyuan listened to Xin Yue's report, recording every word of the conversation between Yu Wanling and Lu Jin'an.
What Liu Zhiyuan was holding and examining closely were the strange items he had found in Yu Wanling's lounge.
