Chapter 238 Meeting Commander Xie
Although Qiao Yu had this hypothesis, there was no way to verify it now.
However, Gao Yang and the others came out very quickly. When everyone looked closely, they found that they all had a piece of bran cake in their hands.
"Haha!" Qiao Yu covered his mouth with his hands and smiled slyly. Then he stretched out his other hand and said to Cheng Sinian, "Two hundred crystal cores! Hurry up!"
"That shouldn't be the case..." Cheng Sinian pouted, turned his back and quietly took out the crystal core from the space, while muttering gloomily, "What's wrong with these people? They have no backbone at all!"
“Thank you, boss!”
Qiao Yu took the two small bags of crystal cores handed to him by Cheng Sinian with a smile, and then shook them in front of Jiang Zhan as if presenting a treasure.
Jiang Zhan looked at Qiao Yu's smug little look, touched her head lovingly, and then kissed her gently on the forehead.
Cheng Sinian curled his lips and complained silently in his heart: I don’t know why Qiao Yu is so happy. Aren’t these crystal cores all hers after all?
It's just a transfer from the left pocket to the right pocket. Is it worth her being so happy?
Qiao Yu didn't notice the expression on Cheng Sinian's face. After storing the crystal core in his space, he smacked his lips and said, "I knew it. In this world, what's the use of backbone?"
"Okay, we've got the money for the bet, let's go."
Qiao Yu took one last look at Gao Yang and the others, who were frowning because of the taste of the bran-wheat pancakes, and turned and left with Jiang Zhan, expressionless.
--
When Qiao Yu and his friends returned home, Hua Yue had not returned yet.
Originally, they thought that there would not be any news from Yu Qingchuan and Professor Kang so soon, but unexpectedly, just after the four of them finished lunch, they heard a low warning sound from Wang Zha in the yard.
"Twelve people. All of them are enhanced mutants." Jiang Zhan whispered in Qiao Yu's ear.
Qiao Yu and the other three looked out through the living room window and found that all the visitors were wearing camouflage uniforms with badges with the Eastern Military Region logo on their chests.
Qiao Yu and the other three looked at each other.
It came quite quickly.
Cheng Sinian went to open the gate, had a brief chat with the leading mercenary, and then returned to the living room.
"They want to invite us to the Eastern Military District."
Cheng Sinian put his hands in his pockets, with that lazy expression on his face again.
His attitude seemed casual, but there was a gleam of determination in his eyes.
"Since Commander Xie has sent someone to invite us, we must give him face." Qiao Yu supported himself and stood up. "Let's go."
The four of them followed the mercenary team into the car, entered the Eastern Military Region unimpeded, and headed straight for the headquarters.
"Excuse me, please follow me. We need to conduct a security check on a few people."
After entering the headquarters, Qiao Yu and his companions were received by a young woman.
She looks capable and neat, exuding a strong temperament.
This kind of temperament cannot be cultivated overnight. It seems that he must have been a soldier before the end of the world.
Qiao Yu glanced at Jiang Zhan's visibly darkened expression, patted his hand reassuringly, and then asked politely, "Excuse me, are men and women examined separately?"
"Yes." The woman nodded. "Don't worry, the people examining you are all soldiers of the same sex. It will be quick, too. It won't take you too long."
"Let's go."
Although Qiao Yu was a little worried that Jiang Zhan would lose his temper, since he had just arrived, it was understandable that Commander Xie would be on guard. So he could only comfort him softly with a few words, and then pushed him into the examination room nearby.
The inspection did not take long. A few minutes later, Qiao Yu and the other three were brought to the commander's office by staff.
The guard at the door looked at the four of them for a few seconds, then knocked on the door expressionlessly.
"Come in." A low and steady voice came from inside the door, which sounded very decisive.
The guard at the door finally opened the door after getting permission and led Qiao Yu and the other three in.
As soon as he entered the door, Qiao Yu felt a calm and solemn atmosphere.
This is the temperament that can only be cultivated through years of military service. Just being close to him can make people feel intimidated.
Commander Xie was sitting on the sofa in the reception area at this time.
He was wearing a neat green military uniform, had a square face, a crew cut, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised.
Seeing Qiao Yu and the other three come in, Commander Xie stood up neatly. His eagle-like eyes quickly but carefully examined the four people one by one, then he extended his right hand directly to Jiang Zhan, "Gentlemen, I have long heard of your names. I am Xie Ping'an, and it is a pleasure to meet you."
Jiang Zhan glanced at Commander Xie's hand. Although he didn't say anything, he nodded and shook it politely. "Jiang Zhan. Nice to meet you."
Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows, he was worthy of being the commander.
He actually knew the leader of the team was Jiang Zhan just by taking a glance.
After shaking hands with Jiang Zhan, Commander Xie shook hands with Cheng Sinian, then nodded politely to Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen. After hearing everyone introduce their names one by one, he said in a deep voice, "Please take a seat."
Qiao Yu and the other three followed his instructions and sat down side by side on the sofa.
Commander Xie sat down on the sofa across from the four people. While pouring water for them, he said straight to the point, "I've invited you all here today. I'm sure you all understand why I'm here, right?"
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan exchanged a glance, then smiled and replied, "Commander Xie is truly forthright. He truly lives up to his reputation as a great general."
When Commander Xie heard Qiao Yu speak, he couldn't help but look at her in surprise.
It seemed as if he didn't expect that she would be the one to take over the conversation.
But Commander Xie quickly adjusted his attitude, smiling calmly as he said, "Miss Qiao, you're too kind. However, I'm a straightforward person and don't like beating around the bush with others, so why don't you all be frank?"
"Excuse me, where did you get the bran?"
Qiao Yu said without blinking, "We grew it ourselves."
Xie Pingan was stunned when he heard this, "Grown it?"
"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded seriously, "We grew it ourselves."
Xie Ping'an narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of suspicion on his face. He seriously suspected that this woman was lying to him.
"Then how did you know bran and wheat are edible? Did Researcher Yu and Professor Kang tell you?"
This time it was Qiao Yu's turn to be stunned.
She originally thought that Commander Xie invited them here today because Yu Qingchuan and Professor Kang introduced them to Commander Xie, but now from what he said, it seems that he came to find them on his own initiative?
It seems that Commander Xie's intuition is indeed quite sharp.
Qiao Yu pursed her lips and said, "You should know that Researcher Yu Qingchuan is from our team. But we not only know him, but also Dr. Yu Huairen."
"Dr. Yu's research results on bran and wheat were actually brought back to the base by Yu Qingchuan and me."
