Li Xiao raised her head, gave a faint smile, and the smile quickly disappeared.
She gently shook her head, without saying a word. Her gaze was fixed on the door.
"Xiaoxiao," Qiu Fengyu suddenly spoke, but then lowered her voice, "Is someone outside?"
……！
Everyone was shocked!
Just as Shao Jie was about to blurt it out, Xiao Peng quickly covered his mouth.
Shao Jie immediately understood and nodded to indicate that he understood. Xiao Peng then removed his hand.
At this moment, everyone who was unaware of the situation stood up in surprise and looked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao nodded.
"Damn it," Shao Jie cursed silently.
Everyone's expression changed.
Cheng Shaolin and Yu Yanbin's faces darkened. Had they attracted someone's attention?
Wow, they arrived really quickly?
Yu Yanbin gave Shao Jie a look, and Shao Jie understood immediately.
He closed his eyes briefly, let out a sneer, gritted his teeth, and walked towards the door while muttering something under his breath.
"Hey, I was wondering why those idiots were so stupid. How could they have handed it over? They're incredibly dumb."
The door was suddenly flung open, catching the two people outside off guard. They stood awkwardly in the doorway, listening intently, unable to retract their posture in time.
…………
"Uh, we, we were just passing by, just passing by."
"Yes, yes, just passing by. You're busy, you're busy. Let's go."
The two men hurriedly left.
They were heading in the direction opposite the man's room.
"Oh!"
Shao Jie's cold laugh startled the two men, who hurriedly returned to their room.
Shao Jie watched them go inside coldly before spitting out a spit.
"Come in."
Xiao Peng pulled Shao Jie inside, and Shao Jie slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
"What a piece of trash, it doesn't even have the guts."
Seeing Shao Jie's indignation, Tian Tian comforted him, "Don't be angry. You're such a coward, why bother arguing with them?"
Shao Jie hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "It's precisely because they're hiding their true intentions that I'm angry. If you're so capable, let's have a fight."
"They won't fight you; they're not stupid."
Meng Yang gestured for Shao Jie to sit down.
Shao Jie pulled up a chair and sat down next to Meng Yang, asking, "What do we do now? I don't feel safe living here at all."
Yu Yanbin and Cheng Shaolin shared the same idea, even without Shao Jie saying so.
"Let's think of something, Xiaoxiao. Is anyone still around?" Yu Yanbin was still a little worried.
Li Xiao shook her head. "I don't know."
"Huh? Don't know? What do you mean?"
Everyone looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"There's no one outside, but these days anything is possible. I wonder if there are any mental abilities that you can't see or touch." Li Xiao shrugged, feeling equally uneasy.
…………!
What just happened served as a wake-up call for them.
They looked at each other and agreed that Li Xiao's words made sense.
"What should I do? I don't feel safe here anymore." Tian Tian was a little uneasy, as if countless eyes were watching her from all around.
"You know what, I think so too. What should we do, Captain?"
Shao Jie looked anxious, wishing he could find another place to stay.
"How about this, let's ask Yan Bin tomorrow and see what he says. We gave them so much today, asking for a house isn't unreasonable, is it?"
Cheng Shaolin leaned back in his chair, his face cold and stern.
"Yes, that's right." This statement reminded everyone that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"Yes, that's fine. I'll ask about it tomorrow. After receiving so many benefits, it's not unreasonable to offer a little something in return." Yu Yanbin shared this sentiment and believed the base would agree.
"Damn it, I'm disgusted by these people."
Everyone looked unwell, hoping tomorrow would come soon.
The next morning, after breakfast, I went to the same building as yesterday.
Yan Bin led them in yesterday, but no one led them in today. However, since they had just met yesterday, they still greeted each other warmly.
"Captain Yu, what brings you here today?" asked the clerk on the first floor.
"I came to see Captain Yan Bin today, but I don't know if he's here?"
"Captain Yan Bin just arrived. Wait a moment, I'll go up and let him know."
"Okay, go ahead."
After arranging for Yu Yanbin and the others to sit down, the clerk went upstairs.
Less than two minutes later, Yan Bin and the clerk came downstairs together.
"Captain Yu, Deputy Captain Cheng, what brings you here so early?" Yan Bin bowed to them.
"Captain Yan, you're too kind. We're here today because we need your help."
Yan Bin was quite surprised by Yu Yanbin's words.
Yesterday she said she didn't want anything, but this morning she's asking him for something. What happened?
He frowned slightly. "Okay, let's talk upstairs first. Come with me."
Okay. Please.
The group followed Yan Bin to an office and invited everyone to sit down.
"I wonder what Captain Yu wants to see me about? Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help."
Yu Yanbin smiled, "Captain Yan, you're too kind," but then his expression slowly turned cold.
Yan Bin knew something must have happened, but he didn't know what it was.
Then, Yu Yanbin said, "It's like this, when we got back yesterday, we found someone eavesdropping on us while we were talking."
Yan Bin was surprised, "Eavesdropping?"
Yu Yanbin nodded, "Yes, they're listening to us talk through their ear pressed against the door."
"Oh, is that so?"
“We wouldn’t believe it unless we saw it with our own eyes; it’s not safe to talk about this in the base.”
