Chapter 593: Repaying a Favor
Annan sighed silently. It was indeed an armored vehicle. The people were so badly injured, but the vehicle was in good working order.
Li Mingcheng nodded to his men, turned to Gu Zhiyu and said, "Can you help to tow the car?"
Gu Zhiyu nodded readily: "Okay."
Annan did not continue to ask about the origins of him and her parents. It was obvious that they could not have a good relationship, after all, she had not seen this man before at her mother's funeral.
Moreover, his attitude towards himself was very strange. It was hard to say whether he liked him or hated him. His expression and emotions were all very complicated.
Annan never liked to waste his brain energy on useless things.
No matter what their past relationship was like as old classmates, now that her mother and An Xingye have passed away, all the grudges and hatreds should be in the past.
What's more, her current identity is Mrs. Gu. Even if the other party has a grudge against her parents, they will not quarrel with Gu Zhiyu because of old grudges from decades ago.
Annan didn't think any more and went back to the car to find the tow rope.
The other party's car was overturned. In addition to using her black knight and the trailer rope to tow it, a group of people were needed to push it together to gain leverage in order to turn the car over.
The driver who caused the trouble had been dragged out of the car by the two bodyguards, tied up and thrown aside.
He didn't kill it outright, but probably planned to take it back for a thorough examination.
As the only lady on the scene, Annan was naturally the one responsible for driving.
Gu Zhiyu was outside with them pushing another cart.
The three little ones, who had been keeping warm in the car, saw their master return to the car and rushed up excitedly.
An Nan smiled and stroked the dog's head: "Be quiet and don't move. I want to drive the car."
In fact, among all the people present, Fugui is the strongest one. He can knock a tiger unconscious with just one throw from the sky.
But she didn't plan to let the dog join in the effort.
Li Mingcheng's character is unknown. If he sees that her pets have mutated and has some bad intentions, and sends people to tie them up and take them to the laboratory for research, it will be troublesome.
So the three little ones just sat obediently in the car and watched their owner drive.
Annan stepped lightly on the accelerator while looking at the situation behind him through the rearview mirror.
Looking at the men pushing the heavy military armored vehicle to the side with their veins bulging, I couldn't help but sigh that it is still more convenient to use a portable space.
You can just fold and unfold the car and put it wherever you want. Why do you need to drag it so laboriously?
Fortunately, everyone worked together and quickly straightened the car and towed it back to the road.
Annan got out of the car, retracted the trailer rope, and handed Gu Zhiyu and the others a wet towel for wiping their hands.
The two bodyguards stuffed the offending driver into the trunk, and then returned to the car to wait as instructed by Li Mingcheng.
But this time, both of them sat in the front, one in the driver's seat and the other in the passenger seat.
Li Mingcheng did not rush to get in the car. He stayed where he was and talked to Annan and the others for a few more words:
"Thank you for your hard work today. You delayed our trip, bandaged us and treated us, and even towed the car."
He looked at them apologetically and said, "Ordinarily, I should have invited you back for a meal as a token of my gratitude, but I still have a mission to complete, so I have to go first..."
Gu Zhiyu interrupted him and said, "Captain Li, just get back to work. We will have plenty of opportunities to meet again in the future."
Li Mingcheng nodded: "It's good that you two understand. I am indebted to you today. I, Li Mingcheng, will remember this favor. If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me. As long as I can do it, I will do my best to do it."
The boss is of extraordinary status, and this promise is very valuable.
Annan was happy and nodded with a smile. But Gu Zhiyu pursed his lips and suddenly said something surprising:
"To be honest, Commander Li, I actually remembered something."
Not to mention Li Mingcheng, even Annan was stunned for a moment.
Her A-Yu is really... rude.
He is even more shameless than her. When someone promises to repay a favor, he immediately demands payment.
It’s just that they don’t seem to be encountering any difficulties now?
But Annan knew that Gu Zhiyu was a stable person and he must have his reasons for doing so.
So she didn't say anything and just stood quietly by.
Li Mingcheng said straightforwardly: "Mr. Gu, just speak up."
Gu Zhiyu said in a steady voice: "I have not been able to redeem the land I agreed with you for before because I have been entangled with trivial matters during this period..."
Li Mingcheng nodded and said, "Don't worry about that. Since we have already agreed on this matter, there will be no changes."
"The second phase of the base has been almost completed, and the location of the land reserved for you has been planned. I was planning to send someone to inform you in a few days."
Gu Zhiyu smiled and said, "Chief Li always keeps his word, so I am relieved. What I want is other things."
"Oh?" Li Mingcheng looked at him and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
Gu Zhiyu was not polite either: "To be honest, I have been worried about the construction of that piece of land recently... Chief Li also knows that the world is in a difficult situation now, and the Gu family's materials are scattered all over the place, so it is inevitable that some of them will be lost."
"We went out here to retrieve some building materials to build the land. But we ran into some problems and had to return empty-handed."
"Look, if there are any leftover building materials from the second phase of the project..."
At this point, I can't make it any clearer.
He not only wants land, but also wants the government to provide building materials for him to build buildings and houses.
Regardless of Li Mingcheng's reaction, Annan, who was listening at the side, had his eyes lit up.
I was impressed in my heart: President Gu really has a quick mind!
Building materials are good things. In today's world, some categories are becoming less and less valuable.
When they bought the submarine, they also planned to exchange the building materials in the space with the government.
Now that he had obtained the submarine at no cost, he turned to the government for building materials.
When it comes to doing business, it really depends on her patron.
If the government provided the building materials, they would save a lot of trouble later.
That piece of land was inside the official base, so when they were building, they couldn't just use the space to make building materials appear out of thin air. Under the watchful eyes of the public, they still had to hire people and cars to make a clear path for those building materials.
The subsequent construction of the house was even more troublesome.
Before the disaster, it would take a long time for the owner to renovate a house of a few hundred square meters, not to mention building a house on a land of tens of thousands of square meters.
Gu Zhiyu's idea couldn't be better.
Not to mention how much convenience this brings, the "big prize redemption" is also very timely.
