Li Wenyuan: "Shuangshuang, I was just about to go to your house. What exactly happened today?"
Bai Shuang gave him a general account of what had happened.
Uncle Li was furious after hearing this. "What a mistake! They should be torn to pieces."
What about Ling Liyuan? Isn't he the chief engineer? Didn't he even go up to inspect?
"He and Ling Qingyang also went to help with the inspection. It was Ling Qingyang who found the problem with the crane hook."
"They only started checking after you brought it up. He should have checked before you. He's an adult; he should have protected you."
Bai Shuang, Lu Yu: ...
"Didn't you say you wouldn't let me acknowledge my family?"
Why do we need someone to protect us?
Even if he doesn't acknowledge you as a relative, he should still protect you; that's what he owes you.
Okay, Uncle Li is domineering.
Bai Shuang glanced at her aunt who was busy in the kitchen and whispered, "Okay, that's enough. I'll get you some water."
"Do you still have water?"
"Of course! Who am I? How could I not keep something so important?"
Bai Shuang put some bottled mineral water in his bowl and added a few drops of spiritual spring water.
The water carrier couldn't explain it to Aunt Li.
"Uncle-Master, use it freely, don't be stingy. I have enough water stored up for us."
"Nonsense, even if you have a lot, you still have to use it sparingly."
White Frost... Alright, you decide.
Seeing that it was the brand from before the disaster, Li Wenyuan thought that he hadn't drunk this brand of water in a long time, so he opened a bottle, poured a bowlful, and went to put the bottle back on.
But the snow leopard was thirsty and went up to drink.
Uncle Li got anxious and pushed the snow leopard away.
Bai Shuang was puzzled. How could things have turned upside down in the blink of an eye? Although the snow leopard was greedy, it was never rude.
When they encounter something they want to eat, they will only try to get it from themselves, rather than eating or drinking it indiscriminately.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that the bowl that Uncle Li had given her was the same brand as the bowl that Snow Leopard used to drink water from at home.
It was thirsty and, thinking the water was for itself, went up and drank it.
Woof woof woof... What business is it of yours if you drink our water?
"Shuangshuang, why are you raising it? It needs to eat and drink, you might as well just stew it."
Woof woof woof, I'll stew you!
The snow leopard bared its teeth at him.
She pulled the snow leopard away, "Uncle-Master, don't use this bowl anymore. I'll take it back for the snow leopard to use."
After saying that, she picked up the bowl, quickly pulled the snow leopard, and left with Lu Yu, worried that if she stayed any longer, Uncle Li would be reluctant to part with the bowl.
Indeed, it's the end of the world, who wouldn't be mindful?
"Hey, your aunt has already prepared the meal, why did you leave?"
They even took the bowl away; this child is spoiling that beast way too much.
On the way, Lu Yu said to Bai Shuang, "Uncle Li is quite interesting."
Bai Shuang recalled the scene from earlier and found it amusing. "He used to be very serious. Next time you go to his house, don't bring the snow leopard, or he'll nag you again."
When Bai Shuang, Bai Jiu, and their dog returned home, they saw that Bai Jiu and the others were still wearing the clothes they had worn outside.
"Why don't you take a shower and change your clothes in this hot weather?"
Bai Jiu: "Didn't you want to save water?"
"Use our water as needed, as long as we don't waste it."
She hadn't used much of the mineral water she collected in Cuishan before the disaster, and then she collected a lot of snow during the extreme cold.
Bai Shuang and Lu Yu took a bath in the spiritual spring in the space. When they came out, Bai Jiu and the others had already prepared bamboo rice.
The rice has meat, beans, and fruit, making it look very appetizing.
Just stir-fry a few more vegetables and that will be enough. They made a lot, and Bai Shuang even stored some of it in her space.
After dinner, I picked up a medical book and lay on the sofa, reading it until I dozed off.
Why am I so tired?
"You're not pregnant with our baby, are you?"
"Who's pregnant? Dream on!"
Lu Yu smiled and carried her to bed to sleep.
Originally, they were nocturnal, but now that the base is facing difficulties, they've changed back. It's taking some getting used to.
After Bai Shuang fell asleep, Lu Yu came out of the bedroom and asked Xiao Liu, "Have you found that person?"
Xiao Liu: "Yes, General. Someone from the construction team saw him when he got on the crane, and his appearance matched the description given by that person perfectly."
"Are you sure?"
"It's confirmed. He was one of the people in front of him who participated in the crane inspection."
But he vehemently denied it, saying that something had pulled him up to the top of the crane.
"Let's go take a look."
Xiao Liu led Lu Yu to the place where the man was being held. Based on past experience, judging from his appearance and eyes, Lu Yu was certain at a glance that the man was the murderer.
"If you want to suffer less, reveal who's behind it all."
"You who abuse your power will suffer a terrible death."
"Keep hitting them, keep rubbing salt into the wound."
"ah--!"
Lu Yu asked his bodyguard, "Does he have any family?"
"He has a wife and children, but he mysteriously disappeared a few days ago."
"The person behind the scenes is using his family to blackmail him."
From the guilty look in that person's eyes, Lu Yu knew he had guessed correctly.
While his plight evokes sympathy, how is he any different from other criminals when he disregards the lives of others and the interests of the base for the sake of his own family?
“Your family member was taken hostage, so you should have sought help from the authorities immediately, but you chose to compromise, and even now, you are not revealing the details of the other party.”
Xiao Liu looked at Lu Yu, "General, perhaps the Madam has a way to get him to tell the truth."
"Don't let her worry anymore, we have things to do tomorrow."
The Kang family no longer had the ability, and Commander Wang and Wang Ming, with their strict military management, could not possibly do such a thing.
Of all the people I don't get along with, there's only that one...
