He Ziqian went around in circles to find the people on the merchant ship and inquired about the news of ordering mecha materials. However, the answers he got made him feel doubtful. He always felt that these people's words and deeds were filled with an inexplicable sense of incongruity, but He Ziqian couldn't figure out where they were specifically going.
Moreover, his behavior had attracted the attention of the people on the merchant ship, so he had to stop his exploration and return to the parking lot.
Just at this time, Ruan Xi also came back, with a look of confusion on his face.
"What did you ask?" Seeing Ruan Xi's expression, He Ziqian understood that his doubts should also be Ruan Xi's doubts.
"The goods provided by the merchant ship to Funong Star are limited to the list of goods agreed upon during the last transaction. It's possible for the list to be less, not more. Moreover, this list of goods can only be provided by the relevant person in charge of the Funong Star authorities. The merchant ship does not accept orders from anyone else. Under this premise, you cannot order materials directly from them, so..."
"So, it would be more reliable for me to hide in a merchant ship and leave with them?" He Ziqian continued, his tone and expression clearly showing disapproval.
Ruan Xi shrugged upon seeing this. "That's what I thought, but how to do it specifically and what the risks are are up to you to consider. But it's obvious that you don't intend to do this."
Ruan Xi was not in a hurry, but he was more curious about Funong Star. In his opinion, the entire Funong Star seemed like a huge mystery, and he could find a secret with just a poke. But to be honest, since it had nothing to do with medicine, he really didn't want to find out these secrets, as he always felt that it would cause huge trouble.
But since he is on Funong Star, is it really possible for him to avoid these troubles completely?
No matter how I think about it, it seems unlikely, and my head hurts just thinking about it.
"Don't you think the transactions between these merchant ships and Funong Star seem incongruous? Rather than being a transaction, it looks more like a fixed supply. However, it seems that both parties are not very clear about the root cause of this supply behavior. They just follow the old rules and have never thought about changing. Don't you think this is very strange?" He Ziqian seemed to have been committed to making Ruan Xi accept the fact that Funong Star was very strange. How could Ruan Xi not hear it, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.
In fact, he didn't think that Funong Star was strange, he was just too lazy to conduct irrelevant exploration. But obviously, as he learned more and more, some exploration seemed to become inevitable.
"I really don't want to cause trouble for myself." Ruan Xi wanted to refuse firmly, but in fact, he had already begun to sigh in his heart, so he could only say it with pleasure.
He Ziqian immediately noticed the change in Ruan Xi's mood, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curved slightly. "But sometimes, even if you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you."
Ruan Xi: “…” What this person said was really unpleasant to the ear. He was simply bringing up things that were not related to the topic!
Ruan Xi didn't want to answer this question, so she abruptly changed the subject, "What about you? What did you find out?"
"It's similar to yours. Everyone on the merchant ship is very vigilant and probably has become suspicious of me. I can't show up again, at least, not in this appearance." He Ziqian pointed to his face, and then, in front of Ruan Xi, he changed into another completely different face, which made Ruan Xi forget to blink.
This disguise mask is really fun. I wonder where I can buy it. I also want to buy one as a backup. It is a perfect tool to hide my whereabouts.
"Like?" He Ziqian saw through the flash in Ruan Xi's eyes at a glance, and asked with an undisguised smile.
"It's quite interesting. Could it be a special supply from some organization?" For example, the military or something.
He Ziqian has too strong military traits, but He Ziqian himself doesn't say it, and Ruan Xi won't take the initiative to say it. Judging from the current development, the tacit understanding between the two should be able to last until the day of separation. In Ruan Xi's view, He Ziqian is also a big trouble. Even if they meet again in the future, it is best to avoid him to avoid trouble.
How come after being reborn, I have become a troublesome person? It’s a bit annoying!
"That's not the case. If I can leave safely, I can give you one." But obviously, the only one in stock was the one that He Ziqian was using. Ruan Xi was a little disappointed, but it was fleeting. It had nothing to do with medicine, and his interest in it never lasted long.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Now... do you still want to order materials to repair the mecha from the people on the merchant ship? I think there is a 99% chance that you won't be able to order them, and you are more likely to be arrested directly." Ruan Xi reminded him sincerely, and He Ziqian accepted it well.
Therefore, there was nothing more to watch in this lively scene. The two of them drove back to Ruan's house in silence. However, Ruan Xi did not plan to go back to the mountains immediately. He always felt that the old lady had something to say to him, but did not seem to know how to start.
"I'm going to stay at home tonight. You go back to the forest first to avoid any accidents." As for what kind of accident it would be, the two knew it well, so there was no need to say it out loud.
"Okay." He Ziqian didn't say much. After looking at Ruan Xi deeply, he turned around and left without looking back.
Ruan Xi: "..." What did He Ziqian's meaningful look just now mean? Did he think he wasn't helping enough, wasn't proactive enough?
Ruan Xi felt embarrassed, but in the end, he just shrugged his shoulders and walked back to his room slowly. He decided to catch up on some sleep before others came back. He was so excited about the planting space the night before that he didn't sleep well, and he was really a little sleepy now.
However, Ruan Xi was unable to make up for his sleep. He felt that he had just laid down when there was a knock on the door. No one else was at home, so it couldn't be a servant. Then, it could only be his aunt Ruan Huaqing.
Ruan Xi sighed softly, helpless, and could only get up to open the door. As soon as the door opened, the person standing there was indeed Ruan Huaqing. Her complexion looked much better, but still a little pale, and her spirits were somewhat depressed. It was obvious that her fiancé's betrayal had dealt a heavy blow to her.
"Auntie." Ruan Xi called softly, and motioned her to come into the room and sit down. She poured her a glass of warm water and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Ruan Huaqing took the water cup slowly. His eyes seemed to be staring at Ruan Xi, but also seemed to be completely blank. After a long moment, he said, "Xiao Xi, tell your aunt the truth. Is my body... irrecoverable? In the future..."
As Ruan Huaqing spoke, his voice became weaker and his lips trembled slightly. It seemed that he found it difficult to speak, and he seemed unable to express himself. He was stuck there, and his pale face turned red.
"Aunt, I told you that you will be fine. If you follow the treatment I told you, it won't have any impact on your future. Don't let your mind wander and create unnecessary pressure on yourself. This will delay your recovery. You should be stronger and more confident, and don't let your grandmother worry." Ruan Xi had no ill feelings towards his aunt Ruan Huaqing, but he couldn't get close to her either. He just wanted to reassure the old lady.
As for the rest, everyone has his own fate, and he can't possibly take care of everyone.
