The team leader followed closely behind. Before Lu Yuan could even settle into his seat, the team leader swore as he walked in: "Oh! Team Seven is still the same as always! By the way, Team Leader Lu, Minister Yuan just said that all your weapons will be confiscated, and your new appointment letter will be issued soon! You'd better pack your things as soon as possible!"
Several team members were warming themselves by the stove in the office when they heard what the other person said. They immediately jumped up, pointed at the team leader's nose, and cursed, "Sun Xing, what the hell are you saying!"
"Damn it! Last time your team came looking for trouble, we didn't teach you a lesson because we were being lenient. And now you're back again! I think your team just needs to be taught a lesson! Perfect timing, you've come looking for trouble! Brothers! Let's beat them up!"
"Stop! I'm telling the truth! Your captain heard the results of the meeting just now! I'm not making this up! You can ask other people if you don't believe me! I just put away my gun!" Sun Xing said, taking two steps back as soon as he heard they were going to beat him up.
The team members looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief: "Captain, he... he's telling the truth?"
Lu Yuan nodded, then pulled out his sidearm from his waistband and threw it onto the table.
"Heh! Tell your Minister Yuan, those who do many evil deeds will surely perish! Just wait and see what happens to you!"
Sun Xing picked up the pistol, inspected it, and said, "That's not your concern. Pack your things quickly! Don't blame us if you miss this opportunity and someone throws you out!"
After saying that, Sun Xingfei left Lu Yuan's office as if flying.
The team members surrounded him, all furious: "Captain, why?! Our team put in so much effort, and three brothers even died. The commendation order just came down, how can you punish us like this?!"
"Yeah! Captain, I can't stand this humiliation! Let's go find them! Is there no law anymore?! The commendation order is barely warm and they've already pulled this stunt, what did we do wrong?!"
"Captain, we can't just let them do this! We're heroes!"
"...!"
The group of people angrily denounced the unfairness of the order, while Lu Yuan sighed and said, "You all still have your original positions, it's me who's changed. I happen to have nothing to do tonight, so let me treat you all to dinner. Consider this my last farewell dinner as your team leader!"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the office became extremely oppressive. Hou Qiang and the others still wanted to speak up for Lu Yuan, but everyone understood that the main reason Lu Yuan was removed from his post was because he was too close to Chen Kaiming, and the higher-ups wanted to purge Chen Kaiming's influence.
At 6:30 p.m., Lu Yuan stood up, stretched, and looked around the office. He felt a pang of reluctance. He had been there for more than half a month, and it was really hard to leave now.
However, he still had his own mission, so he had to leave sooner or later. But finding a way back through this route was no longer feasible, which forced Lu Yuan to find another way to leave.
"Let's go! Let's eat! No overtime today!" Lu Yuan called out to everyone, and they grabbed their things and headed out the door.
A group of seven people arrived at Lu Yuan's residence. Lu Yuan originally planned to take them to a restaurant outside for a meal, but when he looked at the money in his pocket, he realized that he hadn't earned a single penny of wages since arriving here, and he had already been laid off. Lu Yuan was immediately depressed. The only savings he had were some that he had exchanged on the black market and the bonus from his last mission.
If these seven people were to go out to eat together, Lu Yuan might not even be able to afford the cost of a single meal.
So after much deliberation, Lu Yuan decided to invite everyone to dinner at home. After all, he had a dimensional space where the ingredients were much better than those outside, and most importantly, they were free.
When Lu Yuan decided to treat everyone to dinner at home, he had already prepared the ingredients and put them in the trunk. In order not to arouse suspicion, Lu Yuan specifically told everyone that he was going out to buy something.
Lu Yuan lit a cigarette by the roadside, glanced at the time, and then picked up his phone.
"Hey, if you don't come soon, I'm not waiting anymore!"
"No, no, no! Coming right away! Do you know how hard this is for me? I had to end the meeting halfway through, all because of this meal! If you're not satisfied, I'll complain about you!"
"Alright, enough talk! Get on with it!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan carried the bag upstairs. The room wasn't very big, so everyone sat around the stove to warm themselves.
After bringing out the pots and pans, Lu Yuan once again displayed his excellent culinary skills, cutting and marinating various meats, stir-frying them, adding side dishes and water to stew them. Originally, Lu Yuan planned to make hot pot, but these days there are no hot pot bases left. Lu Yuan was afraid that if he took out hot pot bases, it would cause some trouble, so he could only choose to stew the meat.
As they chatted and reminisced about the past, they swallowed their saliva, smelling the aroma of meat bubbling in the pot.
Not long after, footsteps echoed in the hallway, followed by the sound of a door opening rapidly. Hei Zi rushed in, panting heavily.
"I...I'm not late, am I?"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and said, "We just finished eating!"
Upon seeing Lu Yuan's smile, Hei Zi immediately stepped forward and lifted the pot lid, instantly filling the entire room with the aroma of meat.
"Holy crap! My mouth is watering! I'll taste it for everyone to see if it's poisoned!"
After saying that, Hei Zi reached out to grab the meat, but Lu Yuan slapped him aside.
"Who the hell would eat the food you grabbed with your nose-picking fingers?!"
