With such tacit understanding, it would be hard to believe they weren't a couple.
"Yes! Of course, how could we be together if we weren't good enough?" Lin Yue showed no shyness and openly admitted her feelings.
While inspecting the items, Cang Yu kept an eye on Lin Yue's situation. Hearing their conversation, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he inspected the items even more diligently.
Secretary Chang really didn't know how to respond to Lin Yue's words.
Fortunately, Cang Yu was quite fast.
After the inspection, he gave Lin Yue an "OK" sign.
The inspection of Lin Yue's medications has also been completed.
"Miss Lin, since there are no problems, let's unload everything from your car first, and then we'll reload it for you."
Of the three items Lin Yue exchanged, the other two were fine, but the shockproof chamber was quite heavy, and Lin Yue and her team definitely couldn't lift it by hand.
“Okay!” Lin Yue replied.
There's no other way now but to rely on the army's cranes.
Fortunately, apart from the car being a bit of a hassle, Lin Yue's things were quite easy to unload, and it only took an hour or so.
The replacement seeds and acid rain protection clothing had already been loaded into the small truck, leaving only the shockproof compartment.
"Wait, everyone stop!" Before Chief Cao's car even arrived at its destination, he pulled out a megaphone and stuck it out of the window to shout.
Upon hearing this sound, everyone on the military region side stopped what they were doing, as the shock-absorbing chamber was hanging in mid-air.
Lin Yue frowned, a surge of anger rising within her.
Damn it, we were about to get on the bus, and then this happens.
"Secretary Chang, what does this mean?" She thought that Secretary Chang had already communicated with Chief Cao two days ago.
"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Secretary Chang walked over to Chief Cao, who was getting out of the car.
Last time I had a fight with Lao Cao, we reached an agreement, but I didn't expect Lao Cao to suddenly go back on his word.
"Old Cao..."
"Get out of my way." Chief Cao pushed Secretary Chang aside and walked up to Lin Yue and the others. "Miss Lin, this belongs to the base. Taking it without my permission is illegal."
“Chief Cao, that’s not right. I traded these supplies with the base for them. How can you say I took them for myself? I can’t accept that label.” Lin Yue replied expressionlessly.
The situation is special right now. Apart from the houses on the base, any other form of contract is invalid. So there is no such thing as a contract for the exchange. It is all just a direct barter.
Her things are still here, yet she's accusing her of taking them without permission? That's blatant lying!
I never expected that Chief Cao would actually lie through his teeth.
"Lin Yue, you said you provided supplies, where are they? I didn't see you bring any supplies. You came with an empty truck and tried to haul things away. What is that if not embezzlement?" Chief Cao didn't care about saving face at all. "Moreover, even if you did bring things, as a member of the base, it's your duty to contribute to the base. Where did you get so many supplies? We need to find out their source. If you stole them, the base has the right to confiscate them."
Lin Yue laughed, looked directly at Chief Cao without responding to any other statements, and asked only, "Chief Cao, are you trying to forcibly requisition my supplies?"
She genuinely had no idea that a base representing the nation could have such a shameless leader.
"Forced requisition? No, no, no, you don't even have any supplies, so how can you talk about forced requisition?"
So what if they forcibly requisition people? These are all his people; they can't do anything about it even if he forcibly requisitions them.
Hearing their commander say this, the soldiers around them blushed suspiciously on their young faces. Although they wanted to say something fair, a soldier's duty was to obey orders...
Ugh! This is so frustrating.
"Secretary Chang, do you think so too?" Lin Yue asked Secretary Chang again.
After these two encounters, she found that Secretary Chang was a good person, and the only one causing trouble was Chief Cao.
"Take Secretary Chang away," Chief Cao ordered directly.
He is the highest leader here, and no one else has the right to speak. If he is not doing well, then no one else can expect to do well either.
"Lin Yue, you are a capable person. As long as you take out all the life-saving medicine you have, I can let you go and not pursue the matter of you taking base supplies without permission."
"Chief Cao, I saved your life, so tell me, can I take your life too?" Lin Yue moved closer to Chief Cao and whispered.
Upon hearing that Lin Yue dared to threaten him, Chief Cao immediately pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Lin Yue: "Miss Lin, these are all my men. Do you think you can succeed?"
Cang Jun and Cang Jue were unarmed, but they immediately surrounded them. Cang Yu was even more direct, kicking Chief Cao's gun away without any warning. The gun was now in his hand, and this time the muzzle was pointed at Chief Cao.
"Chief Cao, be careful the gun doesn't go off accidentally." Cang Yu's voice was icy.
Seeing this, the others also raised their guns and pointed them at Lin Yue and the others.
A perfectly good deal inexplicably turned into a tense standoff.
"Lin Yue, Cang Yu, you hurt me, neither of you will leave here today." Chief Cao's eyes were fierce as he looked at them.
"Chief Cao, you don't need to worry about that. Even if I kill you today, I can walk out of here unscathed."
Lin Yue wasn't scared at all. She had a spatial dimension and an invisibility cloak. Even if she couldn't beat them, she could always hide. She could just throw the three of them into her spatial dimension and run away. It wouldn't be a problem.
If you can't make it here, just find another place.
As for Cang Yu and his group, it's not impossible for them to find a place to hide for now and build a base when their strength allows.
"Commander Cao, it's quite lively today!"
The tension was running high when suddenly a voice broke in.
Lin Yue looked at the person who had just arrived. He appeared to be around fifty years old. She didn't recognize him, but he looked somewhat familiar, though she couldn't quite place where she had seen him before.
"Qin Chao, why aren't you staying in the reception area? What are you doing here?" Chief Cao asked without moving, his back turned.
"I heard that Chief Cao is acting like a rogue here, so I came here specifically to see how he continues to take advantage of the country as always, and to learn how to be shameless." Qin Chao stood next to Lin Yue's small truck and looked at them.
Qin Dynasty, the son of Professor Qin next door?
Upon hearing the name, Lin Yue finally remembered who this face resembled.
She turned her head to look at Cang Yu, using her eyes to ask him if the person who came was the new leader of the base. If so, then it was almost certain.
Cang Yu nodded almost imperceptibly, indicating that Lin Yue had guessed correctly.
He hadn't met the newcomer yet, but his name was Qin Chao.
Chief Cao and Qin Chao didn't care what the two were thinking. When they heard Qin Chao say that, Chief Cao seemed to have forgotten that there was a gun pointed at him. He turned around directly, but at least he didn't dare to leave.
"Qin Dynasty, if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll have you riddled with holes."
"Commander Cao, you know best whether I'm talking nonsense or not. Ten years ago, you bribed the head of the assessment team and successfully became the commander of the army group..." Qin Chao began to reveal Commander Cao's secrets.
However, it was clear that Chief Cao couldn't stand it after only saying a little bit.
"Qin Dynasty..." Chief Cao roared!
