Chapter 171 The Cyan Bead Moves Abnormally
Now, someone wants her dead first.
So he granted their wish.
Gu Mingcheng clenched his fists, lowered his eyelids to cover his bloodshot eyes, and slammed his fist on the cement ground with a "bang".
His expression grew even more sinister.
"hiss!"
His bloodied knuckles throbbed with pain, and his anger burned even brighter.
He slammed the lunchbox to the ground, stomped on it, and crushed it.
Imagine crushing the arrogant Su Meng.
Su Meng sat alone on the plane, eating a cucumber she had taken out of her spatial storage. Through the glass, she looked at the cliff behind the mountain that pierced the clouds like a sword, silently calculating the distance to the hot spring.
On such a cold day, you should soak in a hot spring to relax.
It would be great if there were a hot spring in this space.
She sighed, released a sliver of her consciousness into her spatial dimension, and thought about taking some time to go into the mountains to see if she could bring the mountain hot springs into her spatial dimension.
Just then, that long-lost sigh echoed through the space once more.
On the stone tablet in the courtyard, the dull blue bead suddenly flickered for a moment before returning to stillness.
The eight beads on the stone tablet are orange, red, yellow, green, cyan, purple, black, and white.
The blue bead, however, remained elusive, as if shrouded in a shimmering light; without close inspection, it could easily be mistaken for a stone bead.
Why does it glow?
Su Meng frowned and pondered.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared before my eyes, and a blue light shone out from the bead.
In that instant, the air surged with the fragrance of grass and trees, the aroma of earth, and the scent of the sun... all enveloped her.
In a daze, she felt as if she were in a mysterious primeval forest, the crisp air making her pores open joyfully and her breath come in large gasps.
I immediately felt refreshed and relaxed.
However, before she could catch her breath, the blue bead dimmed again.
Does this mean that the blue bead is nearby?
With this question in mind, Su Meng accelerated the pace of improvement, working day and night.
Another week later, she and her team finally reduced the fuel consumption problem by 30%.
This means their research has achieved a temporary victory.
After the leaders, including Qi Lao, conducted the inspection, they were overjoyed and praised with a smile, "Excellent! With Comrade Su Meng joining, your group is even more powerful and has achieved a stage of success."
We believe in balancing work and rest when conducting research.
I hereby announce that your group will have two days off.
Comrade Gu, as their group leader, their safety is your responsibility.
Gu Mingcheng smiled sincerely and said in a loud voice, "Yes! I guarantee I will complete the mission."
Su Meng stayed in this courtyard all day, and he couldn't find any opportunity to make a move.
For seven days after ingesting the poison, he lived in constant fear, never daring to close his eyes to rest, for fear that he would never wake up again.
Three or four days ago, I had no physical reaction at all, but in the last two days I have been feeling a dragging sensation in my lower abdomen and a feeling of bloating and pain.
It is accompanied by bleeding gums.
Like earthworms, thin red veins slowly crawled all over his eyeballs.
He panicked and became afraid.
I'm so worried I can't eat.
Unexpectedly, Su Meng worked tirelessly day and night, finally earning this opportunity for a holiday.
Gu Mingcheng naturally agreed readily.
Old Qi looked at Gu Mingcheng with surprise, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
Then, remembering that he had been behaving himself lately, he gave a light but firm reminder: "Okay! Everyone, please be careful!"
At this moment, Su Meng's heart had already flown out of the courtyard and back home.
The blue beads in the space flickered from time to time, making Su Meng uneasy.
She inexplicably felt that there was something she wanted in the back mountain.
Just as she was about to turn around, she heard Gu Mingcheng clapping his hands and looking at everyone with a beaming smile.
"Wait a minute, everyone! Thank you all for working together to overcome the difficulties and winning this great battle."
In gratitude, as the group leader, I will personally treat everyone to a meal at the hot springs behind the mountain tomorrow morning.
What do you think?
His usually aloof and arrogant eyes were now filled with a smile.
The smile didn't reach his eyes.
The group members looked at each other.
Finally, the deputy team leader glanced at them with a mocking look and said indifferently, "Since that's the case, then I'll accept it without further ado."
Once one person agrees, another will follow.
Su Meng didn't want to be with them.
She waved her hand demurely, "I'm a woman, I won't get involved."
Have fun!
Although she also wanted to go to the back mountain, it would be inconvenient to go with them.
However, Gu Mingcheng's ultimate goal in organizing the event was to take Su Meng away.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, then he smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face became more pronounced. "Comrade Su, you're spoiling the mood!"
It won't just be a few of us going tomorrow; their families can also come along.
We work together, you wouldn't be so inconsiderate as to not even give us this much face, would you?
Su Meng: "......"
She looked helplessly at the crowd, and when she met their eager gazes, her lips twitched.
The others were highly motivated when they heard that they could bring their families.
In this day and age, even though they have salaries and their families have enough to eat and wear, who wouldn't think about saving money?
If it weren't for Gu Mingcheng's arrogance and disdain for people from poor backgrounds, they would have been more willing to bring their whole family along.
It would be great if my loved one could come along!
"Comrade Su, you must know my wife. Let's meet at the entrance of the family compound tomorrow. What do you say?"
Yan Xiangjun's yard is right next to Su Xiaoman's house.
She did know his lover.
Su Meng nodded sheepishly, "Okay!"
Gu Mingcheng smiled broadly, his ten fingers interlaced tightly together, so proud and excited that they trembled slightly.
"Okay! I'll prepare all the ingredients. We'll meet at the entrance of the family compound tomorrow. Comrade Su, you can't go back on your word."
Su Meng nodded, her attention drawn to the light emitted by the cyan bead, thus failing to see Gu Mingcheng's smug expression.
He casually replied, "I always keep my word! Thank you, Team Leader Gu, for the expense."
After passing through a series of iron gates, Su Meng returned to the familiar research institute compound once again.
She glanced around the quiet office area and walked home in the afterglow of the setting sun.
On the way home, I still have to pass the sentry post at the entrance of the family compound.
Before they even reached the big tree near the sentry post, they saw Su Xiaoman walk in with a bright smile.
"Little Su, you're off work too?"
Su Meng greeted her with a smile, "Yes! Is work going well? Are you tired?"
"Not tired! I feel great, much easier than farming at home." As she spoke, she tugged at Su Meng's sleeve, stood by the roadside, and whispered, "Little Su, isn't the Su Meng on Commander Huo's marriage report yours?"
Su Meng's lips curled down slightly, a bad feeling creeping into her heart. "Yes! Sister Su, what's wrong?"
Su Xiaoman sighed softly, "I heard that recently, a girl named Su Meng has been coming to the military region to deliver things to Commander Huo."
It's not just rice, flour, and cooking oil, but also fruits, vegetables, candy, and clothes.
The news spread throughout the family compound, saying that the girl must be Commander Huo's fiancée.
Sure enough, the family compound that Commander Huo applied for has been approved.
The girl even went for a walk with some kind-hearted women, saying she wanted to tidy up and move in as soon as Commander Huo's marriage application came through.
Upon hearing this, Su Meng's mind went blank, as if it had been buzzing.
She heard every word Su Xiaoman said clearly, even her flustered and angry tone.
But after she finished speaking, she was stunned.
There's a feeling of not knowing what year it is.
