Chapter 155 Big Trouble [Update 1]
Although the two old men bickered, they had a really good relationship. With his son handling official duties, Mr. He was happy to have some free time. He spent all day hanging out with his old friends, playing chess, bickering, strolling around, etc. However, their favorite routine was video calls with Ruan Xi and He Ziqian.
However, from the first video call, Mr. An knew that his consideration was in vain. These two useless children would rather go camping in the woods than stay at home and do what they loved, causing him to be ridiculed by Mr. He.
"Let me tell you, how could Ziqian and Xiaoxi, two such ambitious children, be so obsessed with romance as you think? Otherwise, how could Xiaoxi have the title of little miracle doctor? Don't worry about them every day. Those two children have their own ideas and don't need you to control them."
Despite the arguments, Mr. An also agreed with Mr. He's words that came from the heart. He admitted that he was a little impatient, but...wasn't it because he was afraid that his icy grandson would miss the opportunity? God knows, he has been looking forward to his grandson falling in love for many years, and it's almost enough to write a book about his sad history.
"Grandpa, Grandpa He, we just hunted a red leaf beast. The meat is so delicious, perfect for hot pot. I'll send you some slices in a freezer. Remember to let us know when you receive it!"
During their adventure in the woods, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian would save a portion of anything delicious or fun they found for the two old men who video-called them every day. They would mail out a batch every few days and did not find it annoying at all. Instead, they enjoyed it.
He just loves to pamper the elderly at home, how wonderful!
"Oh! Okay! Xiaoxi, when you are free, come and see grandpa. Grandpa misses you. You are such a good child, why aren't you mine..." Mr. He suddenly sighed with emotion, and the melancholy ending tone seemed to express such a great regret.
Considering that the old man has been in an overly lively state recently with Mr. An, there doesn't seem to be anything abnormal.
However, Ruan Xi felt a sudden shock in his heart at that moment. Although the feeling disappeared quickly, as if it was an illusion, he still felt a sense of uneasiness inexplicably in his heart.
After hanging up the video call, He Ziqian leaned in and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing... I just suddenly felt a little nervous. Is it because we have been hanging out outside for too long?" Ruan Xi couldn't describe what this feeling was, so she made a half-seriously joke. Then, she casually opened the calendar and her eyes widened.
"Hey, there are only four days left of my winter vacation!"
Holy shit, how did it go by so fast? It feels like their jungle adventure has just begun!
"Otherwise, do you think your vacation will be automatically extended? Don't worry, I have already arranged the return trip. We will take the base's tailwind boat back and go through the military space station. It will take one day to get there." He Ziqian raised his hand lovingly and gently scratched Ruan Xi's nose before telling her about his arrangements.
"Cool! Then we can play for two more days, then take a day to rest and sort out our things. We still have a batch of local specialties to send to Grandpa and Grandpa He!"
Thinking that they could play for two more days, Ruan Xi became happy again and pulled He Ziqian into the woods.
"Hurry, hurry, there are still several kinds of medicinal herbs that we haven't picked at the spot we marked yesterday. Let's go there before it gets dark."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
He Ziqian's favor for Ruan Xi has almost reached the point of lawlessness. He will do whatever he asks her to do, even climbing a cliff to collect herbs in the middle of the night is no problem for him. Anyway, he has good physical fitness and high fighting power, so this difficulty is no problem for him.
In this joyful state, Ruan Xi subconsciously forgot the uneasiness that surged in his heart at that moment.
However, when they returned to the Imperial Capital Star, they immediately heard bad news and a big trouble.
"Isaac? Who?" When Ruan Xi heard the name for the first time, he didn't react and wondered what this person had to do with him. But soon, he remembered who this person was and couldn't help but swear.
"Holy crap! He was in such a big trouble, and he actually escaped? Isn't the central base detention area supposed to be a place where people can only enter but not leave? How did he escape? Is there a traitor?"
Ruan Xi hit the nail on the head. General Tian, who happened to meet the two of them and personally delivered the news to them, felt like he was shot in the chest.
If Ruan Xi still couldn't understand this expression of "you've revealed the truth", then he must be blind.
Ruan Xi remained silent, pondering. With Isaac's madman-like temperament, wouldn't he be constantly at risk of being kidnapped, no matter where he went? Why was Isaac so obsessed with him? Did he really love him so deeply? It was clear they'd only met once. Even after frequenting the central base, he hadn't had the time to remember who Isaac was!
Ruan Xi felt that he was extremely wronged, so wronged that he wanted to spit out blood.
"From the first time we met, I felt that Isaac was particularly strange, almost eerie. His interest in me was simply inexplicable. He had other thoughts about me, and I felt that he was more like teasing... He used this opportunity to disrupt everything for all of us. Because, my existence is now very important to the Central Base, and even the entire Yinyu Empire... What can you think of this?"
It was a rare occasion for Ruan Xi to think about human nature. He really didn't think that Isaac was so obsessed with him because he liked him. People like that would always put profit above all else. Even if they were bored, they would not do something purely meaningless.
Moreover, during the only close contact with Isaac, although he was quite panicked at the time, he was still keenly aware of the excitement and persistence in Isaac's emotions. That was the first time they met. What was there to be obsessed with a stranger?
Ruan Xi couldn't figure out the reason for this for the time being, but Isaac knew Ruan Xi's identity and his position in the central base during his confinement. It was conceivable how much energy was needed behind this.
so……
"There's definitely a traitor in the base, that's beyond doubt. Don't worry, the first thing I'm going to do is eliminate the internal environment of the base. I won't care about what's happening outside. If I let you get into danger in my own base, then I, a general, can retire early."
General Tian said this with gritted teeth, and it was obvious that he was very angry.
Soon, General Tian left in a hurry to go about his business, leaving Ruan Xi and He Ziqian looking at each other silently. After a long time, they both sighed softly.
"It's such a relaxing day, I really can't wait for another day. Let's go. I've already reported in, and General Tian hasn't assigned me any tasks yet. Let's go home. We still need to treat everyone, right? Let's do it quickly before school starts. Mao Haoyang and Liang Hong returned to school yesterday and sent me more than ten messages a day, just in case I forgot to treat them."
Ruan Xi felt helpless and angry about his two foodie friends. On the other hand, as for the Goshawk Team, they didn't have any missions, so they were afraid that others had missions. If the team members didn't go, it would not be lively. It was estimated that facing He Ziqian, the former commander-in-chief of military training, alone, Mao Haoyang and Liang Hong would be so scared that they would have stomachaches and bloating and would not be able to eat.
That scene is so funny just thinking about it.
"Then let's go see if the other team members are free." He Ziqian was also a little worried, but they soon realized that their worries were unnecessary.
"No missions?"
"This is a guilty conscience, but also a form of compensation. You know, we put so much effort into capturing Isaac, and in the end, after a year, he escaped. The brothers in the detention area have been unable to hold their heads up these past few days."
When it comes to gossip, Yuan Hongwei is naturally the best person to talk about. In his passionate performance, even though Ruan Xi and He Ziqian had not seen the scene, they felt deep sympathy for their brothers in the detention area.
We really can't blame the guards entirely for this matter. After all, the mastermind behind Isaac's escape is most likely a traitor hiding among them and digging holes and trapping people. His ability to hide his tracks alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people, and it is impossible to guard against him at all.
"From the sound of it, General Tian wants to make a big deal out of this?" Is this because he has implicated the mastermind behind the incident? In that case, does General Tian also know about the incident?
He Ziqian couldn't be sure, so he could only put it aside for the time being and wait until the matter became clear. After all, if the leader didn't say anything, it meant that the leader needed to have a little secret. At this time, he just had to keep his head down and work quietly.
"I'm afraid so. Anyway, there's been a lot of activity at the base lately. Boss Tian doesn't want us to participate and wants us to train quickly. We might get a new mission soon."
As for the specific content of the mission, it is confidential and no one dares to ask more.
After finishing the business, Ruan Xi immediately announced that they would treat everyone to hotpot. When everyone heard about hotpot, they were already so excited that they were almost boiling with excitement. When they heard that the venue was their captain's home, their excitement almost escalated into a volcanic eruption.
"Eat! You must eat!"
"Little Doctor, I want to order some food. I want all meat! All kinds of meat!"
"Little doctor, don't listen to this carnivore. Try some vegetarian dishes too. I'm not picky. I just want more variety."
"Little Doctor, I want to eat the meatballs you once told me about. All kinds of meatballs!"
"I also want fried rice! I still can't forget the delicious fried rice you made last time, little doctor..."
"Can you arrange for fish porridge? That hospital meal is pretty delicious..."
Everyone was talking at once and ordering dishes. Ruan Xi accepted all the dishes with a smile. Then, she placed an order for the vegetables in the virtual supermarket on the spot. When she got home, the vegetables had been delivered to her doorstep.
