Yingzi could hardly believe it; she stared wide-eyed at her father.
However, she seemed to recall her father's state just now, thinking that he had risked his life to obtain these things.
So she couldn't help but cry, but to prevent anyone around her from hearing, she could only cover her mouth with her hand and cry silently.
"Dad, let's not take this. Can we give it back to him? I don't want you to die!"
After saying that, Yingzi threw herself into Shiquan's arms.
Shi Quan sighed and patted his daughter's head.
"It's alright, honey. Boss Lu is a good man. I believe he won't kill me. He probably just wants me to go fix something. I'll be back in two days, so don't worry! There's water here, go ahead and have a couple of sips!"

Qi Liang counted the number of people at the door.
"Have we arrived at Shiquan yet?"
Qi Liang stood on tiptoe and glanced into the crowd.
Shi Quan, who was of medium build, quickly raised his hand: "Here it is!"
Qi Liang glanced at the other person, nodded, and then ticked it off in his notebook.
After taking attendance, Qi Liang collected the notebooks and then waved to everyone.
"Come with me, I'm taking you somewhere!"
Those who were called all wore expressions of trepidation and confusion, unsure of their fate.
