Chapter 369: Coming for the Treasure
In the following days, Shen Yanming went out early and came back late every day. After lying in bed for two days, Bi Qiaoan could no longer lie still.
Although she didn't want to go out and be watched by others, it was really uncomfortable to lie down every day. The tent was stuffy, and even if she stayed still, her body was covered in sweat.
It's very sunny outside, and the sun on arms and legs can really make people's skin peel off.
There was no other choice, Bi Qiaoan could only dig out a sun-protective jacket from his clothes, put up a parasol, and walk around nearby.
But it was really boring to walk around like this. Everyone here had a job, but she was the only one sitting idle, which was really not a good look.
Bi Qiaoan decided to go to the temporary restaurant to help out. Although he couldn't do any heavy work, he should be able to pick vegetables or something.
And so, Bi Qiaoan became a regular customer of the temporary restaurant.
In fact, she couldn't do much work just sitting there every day. Although she was picking vegetables, her work efficiency was pitifully low and it was all done by the other two laborers.
But even so, everyone was quite welcoming. Although she did less work, it could at least lighten the burden of others, and everyone felt a lot more relaxed as they chatted while working.
However, every time the guard invited her to stay for dinner, she refused, still using the same excuse as before.
The guards felt that with so much food, Bi Qiaoan wouldn't need to eat a bite, but Bi Qiaoan thought it was better to keep public and private things separate.
Besides, if she hides back and cooks for herself, it won't necessarily be worse than what they eat from the big pot.
Well, let’s not talk about them, because Shen Bi and his wife’s life is so dull. They just do whatever others arrange for them to do, and there is nothing wrong with them.
But Tong Xianbao and Lu Nanfang are different.
Because Tong Xianbao sprained his leg the next day.
To be honest, dozens of new guards including Li Gangtie and Zhou Qi couldn't understand how Tong Xianbao sprained his leg on flat ground without any weight on his body. But the examination results showed that he was really injured.
Li Gangtie had no choice but to let Tong Xianbao go back to recuperate. Lu Nanfang happened to have nothing to do, so she could take care of him.
But is this really the case? Obviously not!
Lu Nanfang is still busy going to the residential areas of Su City to gather information every day.
On the first day she arrived, she found the gathering place of the disaster-stricken residents. Without saying hello to anyone, she went in under the name of a guard and started chatting with those who had just experienced the tragedy.
Because she introduced herself as the guard team, the disaster-stricken people who were in urgent need of an outlet did not guard against her and blurted out everything they should and should not say.
When Lu Nanfang didn't get the information she wanted, she pretended to comfort the other party and then told him that she would come back in two days.
Even with her amazing talking skills, those who had chatted with her for the entire afternoon held her hands and were reluctant to let her go.
But was Lu Nanfang so easily moved? Of course not. She left without looking back.
Then, continue the next day.
However, when she came back the next night, she found Tong Xianbao lying in the tent.
Lu Nanfang asked: "Why are you back? Aren't you moving bricks?"
"I can't work anymore. I'm too tired. Moving bricks is not as comfortable as lying down!" said Tong Xianbao.
"Is your Captain Li willing to let you lie like this?" Lu Nanfang didn't believe that the big black-faced man was so kind.
"Hey, of course I don't agree, but I'm injured, so he can't do anything to me." Tong Xianbao laughed, thinking he was very smart, "Well, I sprained my leg!"
"How did you sprain it? Doesn't it hurt?"
"It hurts, but it's okay. It will be fine in a few days." Tong Xianbao didn't say how he sprained his leg. He changed the subject and said, "By the way, how did you investigate?"
"It's not that easy. Such things are confidential. Even the top leaders are unaware of it, let alone ordinary residents!
We are looking for clues based on ambiguous information. Do you think we can find out in a day or two?" Lu Nanfang complained while lying on the quilt in frustration.
"In fact, in my opinion, there is no need for us to go through all this trouble. If there really is such a legendary thing, would they not hide it from you and let you know about it?
Besides, even if it really exists and is discovered, as the owner, can he not be protected by the alliance and the guards? Can we approach such a person?"
Tong Xianbao rolled his eyes at Lu Nanfang and said, "You are so careless that you want to dig out other people's secrets without even realizing how big the gap is between you and them."
"What's wrong? Are your family members not kind-hearted? If they were not kind-hearted, would they have found a way to get you into the Guard?
Besides, this operation was planned by the two families. Even if we can't dig out the secrets of the other party, we have to build a good relationship with the other party and cling to the golden thigh, understand?"
Tong Xianbao didn't even look at Lu Nanfang. He lay on the bed, holding his head with his hands behind his head, "You can't even confirm whether the news is true or false, let alone find that special one among millions of people.
Don't say that everyone in the family agrees. I didn't want to get involved in this mess, but you guys forced me into it. If it weren't for your crazy ideas, I would still be living a leisurely life with no worries about food and drink."
Lu Nanfang was almost mad at her boyfriend's useless behavior. She picked up the pillow next to her and threw it at him, "Damn it, space, the legendary divine object, how dare you not be tempted!"
Tong Xianbao also got angry. He grabbed the needle on his face and threw it back. "You are stupid but you don't even know it. People just said something was lost in the supermarket, but you can associate it with space. Should I say you have a rich imagination or you are like a madman?"
"I'm stupid? I think you're stupid! How the hell can you move things from the supermarket under the eyes of so many people? If you don't have special abilities, who can do that?"
"Oh, only you crazy people would think like that! Wouldn't the first reaction of a normal person be that there was a traitor in the supermarket, working together to move the supplies away?"
"An insider? You can think so when one supermarket is robbed, but there are several thefts in a row. You can't say that all the insiders are gathered together, right?"
"Why is this impossible? The end of the world has already happened. People are active in their hearts and want to leave a way out for themselves. It's normal to take the opportunity to create some supernatural events!"
Lu Nanfang was speechless, but she still felt that it was not the case. She didn't know why, but the word "space" lingered in her mind.
She also knew that Tong Xianbao was right. Even if they found the person with the treasure, they couldn't get to him easily. But she just couldn't give up.
She also wanted to see if there was any chance to transfer the treasure to herself.
