Chapter 57 Seafood platter! So delicious!
evening.
After work, Kong Liang was waiting at Zhao Yunduo's house early and was playing a puzzle with Yaoyao.
After seeing Zhao Yunduo and Zhou Micheng return home, Kong Liang's eyes lit up and he stared at Zhao Yunduo closely, making Zhao Yunduo feel creepy.
"Hungry?"
Zhao Yunduo asked.
Kong Liang nodded frantically, "What are we going to eat today?"
Zhao Yunduo looked around his space and finally said, "Let's have the seafood platter."
Since Kong Liang really stole the green giant's branches for her last time and kept the fact that they had food a secret, Zhao Yunduo had a high trust in Kong Liang. After all, if people knew that he stole things from the laboratory, Kong Liang would probably be severely punished.
So Zhao Yunduo stopped pretending and stretched out his hand, and produced a seafood platter on the table that was half the width of an adult's height.
The seafood inside can be said to be a collection of all the delicious food from the seabed, including red devil shrimps full of yellow shrimp brains, octopuses bigger than fists, scallops that look fresh and sweet, salmon, crabs, sea cucumbers... and many other seafood that Zhao Yunduo couldn't name, but all of them looked very delicious.
Some of these seafoods were in juice, while others were cooked and mixed with spicy sauce. They were placed on two iron plates.
"Wow!"
Kong Liang shouted loudly, and then he heard Yaoyao shouting: "Wow!"
The two of them rushed to the dining table almost at the same time.
Zhao Yunduo took out another big pot of rice from the space, and Zhou Micheng went to the kitchen and took out four bowls and four pairs of chopsticks.
Zhao Yunduo didn't rush to scoop up the rice, but first took out half a bowl of noodles from the bottom of the spicy seafood. Her favorite thing in the past was the vermicelli under the scallops, and after the hot pot was finished, she would eat a pack of instant noodles.
Now these thick noodles, soaked with spicy sauce and the umami flavor of seafood, are simply a delicacy.
Yaoyao followed suit and put a few chopsticks of noodles in her bowl. She ate with her mouth full of astonishment, "Mom! This is so bad!"
Before he finished speaking, Kong Liang also went to grab some noodles, and Zhou Micheng also took a few chopsticks. The noodles were snatched away faster than the seafood.
As for the Red Devil Shrimp, Zhao Yunduo used to watch many eating videos while eating steamed buns. The Red Devil Shrimp is the one that Zhao Yunduo gets addicted to every time he watches it, especially the shrimp brain that looks so plump, sweet and tempting.
Now she finally had the chance to taste it, and it was surprisingly smoother and sweeter than she had imagined.
The four of them had red lips from eating so much, their hands were stained with juice, and they sucked their fingers from time to time, which was a unique taste.
I don’t know how long I ate, but Kong Liang burped first.
"Yun Duo, were you a rich second generation before!?"
Rich second generation... Zhao Yunduo thought about it, his best friend is a rich man, why can't he be considered a rich second generation.
She smiled without saying a word, lying on the sofa with Yaoyao, stroking her round belly.
Zhou Micheng and Kong Liang cleaned up the mess on the table together. After they were done, they sprayed the table with air freshener - that was what Zhao Yunduo asked Shen Linglan to buy for her two days ago. After all, it was enough for Kong Liang to find it, and they still had to avoid being discovered by a fifth person.
After Kong Liang helped to clean up, he prepared to go back to sleep.
As soon as he went downstairs, he met the girl who had complained to him two days ago, Liu Xixi.
Liu Xixi snorted coldly, "Brother Kong, are you interested in the woman who just moved in?"
"Nonsense!"
Kong Liang was so angry at what she said. He was not attracted to Zhao Yunduo, but to her food.
"Humph!" Liu Xixi snorted coldly, "My dad is looking for you!"
Liu Xixi's father is a mid-level researcher at the base and has a certain say.
"Ah? What does Uncle Liu want to talk to me about?"
"How would I know? He's waiting for you at my house!"
After saying that, Liu Xixi walked towards her home without looking back. Kong Liang had no choice but to follow her to Building 11 where their home was.
"Click"
Liu Xixi easily opened the door of her room and made way for him. "Brother Kong, please go in first."
Kong Liang was still surprised that Liu Xixi, the "stubborn princess", would actually give way to him. Could it be that he was going to be promoted? So Uncle Liu asked Liu Xixi to be more polite to him?
While he was lost in thought, Kong Liang stepped into Liu's house, but he didn't expect that as soon as he stood still, a gun was pointed at his head from behind the door.
"Don't move."
A man in police uniform stood out from behind the door. It was Wu An.
"Ah!?" Kong Liang was confused. "I'm Kong Liang, Wu An, what's wrong with you?!"
A man with sparse hair walked out of the living room. He said to Kong Liang in a deep voice, "Where did you steal the things in the laboratory? Did you know that those things are dangerous? Are you connected with other bases?"
Three questions in a row left Kong Liang confused.
"No, I didn't steal it from somewhere else! Someone said she knew a little about this..."
"who?"
Wu An's gun was pressed tightly against Kong Liang's forehead, his eyes were cold and his words were even colder.
Kong Liang opened his mouth, but then he closed it again after thinking of the oath he had made and the fact that he had been eating at Zhao Yunduo's table for the past two days. He couldn't betray her, after all, he had made an oath, and besides, he had to be grateful to her...
Liu Kun and Wu An saw that he pursed his lips and knew that he was not going to say anything.
"Dad!" Liu Xixi looked at Kong Liang, whose hands were tied, and said anxiously, "You asked me to trick Brother Kong here just to catch him!?"
Liu Kun looked at his daughter's anxious expression and knew that she had always liked Kong Liang, so he could only comfort her, "It's just to investigate him. If he doesn't do anything after the investigation, he will be released."
This is clearly a lie.
Kong Liang was taken by Wu An to the prison in the base. The verdict would be announced tomorrow morning. If Kong Liang did not intend to speak out, he would be deprived of all his supplies and expelled from the base to fend for himself.
Liu Xixi was no longer a simple little girl. She knew that this must be a big deal, so she sneaked out of the house and went to Building 9 where Zhao Yunduo lived, relying on her memory. She knocked on the door from the first floor to the third floor, and finally found Zhao Yunduo in 302.
It was Yaoyao who opened the door. Zhao Yunduo was calling Shen Linglan in the room. Shen Linglan told her that there had been significant progress in the research on the green giant. When Shen Linglan went to the laboratory in person in the evening, she would be able to pass on to Zhao Yunduo the medicine that Zhou Xueer and her apprentice had worked hard to develop for two days and two nights.
"Hello! Hello!"
Outside the room, there was the sound of Liu Xixi knocking on the door rudely.
After Zhao Yunduo opened the door, Yaoyao was pulling Liu Xixi's arm, shouting, "Don't disturb Sister Yunduo!"
After seeing Zhao Yunduo, Yaoyao was so angry that she pointed at Liu Xixi and complained, "Sister, Yaoyao didn't even ask to come in, but she came in on her own!"
Zhao Yunduo saw that Liu Xixi didn't have any weapons on her, so she touched Yaoyao's head and said, "It's okay, Yaoyao, go back to your room and play. I know her."
"snort."
Liu Xixi snorted coldly, and when she saw Zhao Yunduo looking relaxed, she became even more angry.
"What on earth did you make Brother Kong do? You are going to kill Brother Kong!"
"Kong Liang?" Zhao Yunduo frowned in confusion, "What happened to him?"
"He was arrested and imprisoned by Wu An! He was accused of stealing something! Tell me, did he steal it for you?"
"What!?" Zhao Yunduo didn't expect this matter to be discovered so quickly.
"Where is he?"
Under the leadership of Liu Xixi, Zhao Yunduo sneaked into the "prison" of the base. It was called a prison, but it was actually a simple basement with only one skylight.
Wu An was holding a gun, standing outside the prison guarding Kong Liang. When he saw Zhao Yunduo, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Yunduo's eyes fell on the tightly closed door, and he said calmly, "I'm here to turn myself in. It was me who asked Kong Liang to steal the branches of the green giant."
