Chapter 99 Chapter 101 The truth of the matter
Jiang Jie and Rong Xianxian's eyes met. Rong Xianxian saw the tangle in Jiang Jie's eyes and knew that he couldn't bear to see the girl's desperate eyes. She sighed in her heart and said, "Okay."
Jiang Jie was stunned. He looked at Cui Lie as if he was uncertain. Cui Lie looked at Rong Xianxian with some confusion in his eyes.
Xiaoyuan's crying also stopped.
"Do you really want to take her in?" Brother Liu seemed surprised, and he asked back with some hopelessness.
"What? Are you interfering with the team members' stay or departure?" Rong Xianxian asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, no, I, I can leave anytime." The girl was afraid that Rong Xianxian would change her mind, so she interrupted anxiously.
"Xiao Yuan, since someone is willing to protect you, we are naturally happy for you. Have you packed your things?" Brother Liu asked as a reminder.
Thinking of the car she was waiting for, the girl shrank her head and stammered, "Actually, apart from the bag I was carrying, there were only some blankets in the convoy."
The girl glanced at Jiang Jie quickly and lowered her head again. It was obvious that she didn't want to go back.
Jiang Jie couldn't help but wanted to speak again, but Cui Lie gave him a cold look, and he swallowed the words back.
"Xiaoyuan, after all, we have been together for a long time. When we were in the safe zone, everyone took good care of you and the convoy protected you all the way. Now that you have a better place to go, don't you want to say goodbye to everyone? You can't be ungrateful and burn bridges after crossing them." Brother Liu saw that Xiaoyuan didn't say anything, and reminded her with a hint of meaning in his words.
"I'll go back with you to get the things." Seeing that no one from Rong Xianxian and the others spoke, the girl naturally understood their attitude.
Brother Liu showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Let's go then."
The girl walked slowly towards Brother Liu. When she passed by Rong Xianxian, Rong Xianxian patted her shoulder comfortingly.
Brother Liu looked at the girl coming over, turned around and led the way. His steps were brisk and full of satisfaction and joy.
"Sister Rong, why don't I catch up with her and see if she needs any help, so that she won't be bullied." Jiang Jie looked at Rong Xianxian in a flattering manner.
Rong Xianxian felt like the cabbages she had worked so hard to grow were eaten by pigs. Oh, that's not right, it seemed that the cabbages were growing over there.
"Sister Rong, we agreed at the beginning that we would not recruit anyone into our team. If we start now, it will be difficult to stop if we encounter such a thing again in the future." Cui Lie looked at Rong Xianxian with confusion. No matter what decision she made, Cui Lie would support her, but he would also give his opinion.
"I only said to take her in, but I never said to let her join our team." Rong Xianxian smiled lightly.
"Ah, Sister Rong, then she is considered a non-staff member." Jiang Jie asked.
"Ajie, you are so enthusiastic, do you have any ideas? Before leaving the city, I told you not to fall in love." Rong Xianxian looked at Jiang Jie with some amusement.
Jiang Jie's face flushed all of a sudden. "Sister Rong, what are you thinking? This girl is obviously underage. I just feel sorry for her. How could I have such thoughts?"
"Haha..." Rong Xianxian looked at Jiang Jie's anxious explanation and smiled lightly. Jiang Jie might not have any ideas, but others might also have ideas, haha.
"Sometimes, things are not as simple as you see. Just now, I put an activated sound transmission talisman on Xiaoyuan." As Rong Xianxian finished speaking, another sound transmission talisman in her hand flashed wildly.
"Xiao Yuan, you are being very dishonest. Now that you have climbed up the social ladder, you ignore your poor relatives. You begged me to act in that scene just now. You promised me that if you could join Dr. Rong's team, you would steal the supplies from their team and give them to me. That's why I agreed to help you. If you turn your back on me and turn your back on me, believe it or not, I will expose the matter to the public and make you happy for nothing." Brother Liu said viciously.
"Brother Liu, you are too anxious. I can't just steal things as soon as I join the team. I have to gain their trust and stand firm before I can fulfill my promise." The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, and her tone revealed the liveliness of a girl.
"Then how long do we have to wait? If you keep delaying, I don't know if I will be able to live to see what you promised." Brother Liu asked in a bad tone.
"How could that be? If you hadn't been taking care of me, Brother Liu, I would have been pushed out as bait long ago. Once I join Dr. Rong's team, I will definitely help with cooking and tidying up the sundries. As long as no one notices me, I will give you things. You should visit there often." The firmness in Xiao Yuan's tone made people involuntarily believe what she said.
Jiang Jie was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, Cui Lie had a sneer on his face, but Rong Xianxian had a calm look on her face. Sometimes what you see is what others deliberately let you see.
It seems that the girl is not as weak as she appears.
There was nothing wrong with what the girl did. She just lied to deceive Jiang Jie to protect herself. However, Jiang Jie did not expect the truth of the matter to be like this. He thought about how he was a little dissatisfied with Sister Rong's indifference just now, but it turned out that it was all written and acted out by the girl. In anger and shame, his pity for the girl disappeared without a trace.
"You'd better remember what you said, otherwise I'll tell them that you went in there to be an undercover agent and a traitor, and then see if they still want you." Brother Liu kept repeating the same thing over and over again.
There was a bang of the door closing, and Brother Liu seemed to have left.
"You're so stupid. It's me who will be close to them day and night. As long as I have feelings for them, why would I be afraid of you sowing discord between us?" The girl seemed to sneer and muttered to herself.
"Squeak" the door opened again, "Something for you." It seemed that the girl didn't want to go back, so Brother Liu went in to help her pack her things.
"What are you doing? Let go and give it back to me." The girl's angry voice came from the note transmission, "I heard from Sister Bian that you seemed to treasure your backpack very much. I'll keep the bag. Whether I can return it to you in the future depends on your performance." Brother Liu seemed to have snatched the little girl's backpack.
"Of course, you can also ask Doctor Rong and others to support you. However, you have been in the team for such a long time, you have to pay some living expenses and protection fees! Maybe Doctor Rong and others can accept you and help you redeem your bag." Brother Liu said casually.
Xiao Yuan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. It seemed that Brother Liu was afraid that she would not obey him, so he wanted to take away her precious bag to control her.
It goes without saying that if she could really convince Jiang Jie to come and help her get the bag, Brother Liu would definitely ask for a high price, a price they would not accept. Brother Liu was clearly threatening her, and he would not hesitate to lose everything and end up breaking up.
