Chapter 294 Mutual Irony
So Gu Qing's mind raced, and she began to consider what she had. She didn't want to owe anyone favors; repaying them now was better than not knowing what she would have to pay in the future.
However, because of the importance of the sulfur gold mine marrow, she sighed inwardly, realizing that her assets were only barely worth it.
Compared to the wealth and resources of a prominent family, her family's wealth is just a drop in the ocean. Even if she gave it all up, it might not be enough to impress them.
However, looking at the faint light flashing on the smart device on her wrist, she suddenly had another thought: she wasn't completely without anything.
Once you have a plan, you can relax.
So she smiled and looked at Bo Chuan, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
With just that one sentence, Bo Chuan instantly understood her thoughts and gave a soft "hmm." He then began to mentally calculate the assets that the legion could draw upon.
Putting aside everything else, just the comforting of Sun Mo and the legion's dead, as well as the Lou family and his relatives, would take a considerable amount of money.
Don't even mention how reasonable his mother and Gao Yan are. Even reasonable people will lose all reason in front of a hen that lays golden eggs, and will still take a bite even if they can't get it.
In their brief exchange, both of them were deep in thought.
Gu Qing had no interest in listening to their analysis of the situation on the island or their veiled attacks on the other side; she was preoccupied with considering her next plan.
The next day, just as the sea turtles retreated at dawn, a group of people packed up to leave, but they didn't forget the eggs before they left. Gu Qing had already collected enough over the past few days.
In addition, I had something on my mind, so I didn't pay attention to these things.
A group of people flew out of the island in various spiritual forms. When they were more than 30 nautical miles away, the signal was completely restored, so a huge ship appeared a few minutes later.
Traveling by boat is much more convenient than traveling by spirit body, so at this point, no one cared who belonged to whom and they all went straight into the cabin.
Gu Qing greeted the others and then hurried back to her room. She wanted to take a bath; it had been almost a week, and she felt filthy.
Bo Chuan was somewhat puzzled. Gu Qing seemed unconcerned about what was to come. She frowned and went straight to an empty office.
Lou Xiaoyu and Yan Anli followed them in. At the door, Lou Xiaoyu placed her hand across the door frame and said, "Captain Yan, we need to discuss some family matters. It might be inconvenient for you to be here."
Yan Anli's expression darkened, and Yang Fan behind him was nervous for him. Their boss, who was usually tight-lipped, might suffer a loss in a verbal exchange.
But who knew that this person was indeed not talkative, but was clearly not one to suffer a loss. "I'm practically family, so it might not be appropriate for me to express my opinion right now, but it's okay to listen."
Lou Xiaoyu felt that she had become too good-tempered since following Gu Qing, and was now considering the consequences of taking action.
Bo Chuan's voice rang out, "Let him in!"
Lou Xiaoyu frowned, but kept her lips tightly closed and said nothing. She put down her arm, turned around and came in first, and sat down on the sofa next to Bo Chuan.
Yan Anli gave Yang Fan a wink, signaling him to wait outside. Then he came in, closed the door behind him, and sat down to Lou Xiaoyu's left, taking off his military cap and placing it beside him.
Bo Chuan's eyes flickered when he saw him like that.
He then spoke, "I received a report from Liao Wen that everyone who was supposed to arrive has arrived within a few days." He paused for a moment after saying this.
She continued, "Including Ms. Miao, Bo Xiyang, and Ms. Gao."
Yan Anli made no comment, but Lou Xiaoyu frowned deeply, "What is she doing here?"
No one answered him. After all, they knew Gao Yan's character to some extent, as people in the same circle.
She's not a bad person, at least she hasn't done anything immoral, but she's not exactly a good person either. She's indifferent to emotions and prioritizes her own interests above all else.
So everyone knows what such a person could be after. Although Lou Xiaoyu is now the current clan leader, his father only stepped down a few months ago.
Its inherent authority remains, coupled with the interests of the clan.
Gao Yan's arrival at this time clearly indicated that she wanted a share of the pie and also intended to use the Lou family to put pressure on Gu Qing.
After thinking for a while, Lou Xiaoyu said, "Once you get to the camp, I will go find them. I am now the patriarch of the Lou clan."
"Tch." The sound Yan Anli made earned him a glare from Lou Xiaoyu. He didn't want to say anything and cause further conflict, but seeing the other party like this, he couldn't help but say a few sarcastic remarks.
