Chapter 45
Thinking of this, Ying Zhao's eyes flashed with hatred. That difficult time was finally over, but she would never forget how isolated and helpless she was at that time.
However… even though the interstellar network can now maintain a person's account even after death, Ying Zhao still changed his number for convenience. This lawyer wasn't the one he had contacted before, so even if lawyers shared information, only his previous number should be used.
"Wait a minute, how did you get my contact information?"
Ying Zhao interrupted the lawyer cautiously and asked.
The other party paused. "The suspect was arrested two months ago, and we couldn't contact him using his old number. Have you been to Mouth Star recently?"
The lawyer talked for a long time without clearly answering her question. At the end, he even threw another question at her. Ying Zhao was a little unhappy, but after a pause, she gave an affirmative answer.
"I was on a business trip to Zuibuxing some time ago, and I happened to meet you on the day of the event. It looked like you, but I wasn't sure. I used some connections and went through a lot of twists and turns before I was able to contact you." The lawyer was not affected by Ying Zhao's tone at all.
Even though Ying Zhao heard that the other party had answered her doubts, she still couldn't help but frown. This "going to great lengths" to find her method gave her some bad associations.
Just then, a phone call came in, and Ying Zhao immediately said into the receiver: "I have an important call coming in. For other matters, you can choose to leave a message or contact me next time when you have time."
When I answered the new call, I found it was from Jiang Zouwei, "Ying Zhao, the channel here needs to go through one of your nodes. If you have time, come over and negotiate immediately."
Ying Zhao nodded, "Okay, I'll be there right away." It just so happened that she hadn't figured out the matter yet, so it was perfect for her to get busy now.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Ji Wenxue sat on the sofa in the hall downstairs and saw that no one had come back. After thinking about it, she simply walked up the stairs step by step, stopping and starting.
Everyone's been busy lately. Sister Wandi, who's been busy with so many things, and Sister Zouwei and Sister Yingzhao are also busy with the tunnel project. Even Yao Si, who used to be just as idle as she is, has been following Jiang Zouwei to mine gold these days, saying he wants to see a talking snake. Now, I'm the only one left.
Ji Wenxue went there for a few days and tried to help everywhere.
First, go find Wandi.
"Sister Wandi, is there anything I can help you with?"
Wan Di put down the pen and looked at Ji Wenxue, thinking for a while, "Not necessary for now."
Ji Wenxue nodded to show that she understood, then she sighed softly in her heart and turned to walk out the door. "Then I'll leave first. I won't disturb you while you're working."
"Hey...wait a minute!"
Hearing these words at the door, Ji Wenxue suddenly turned 180 degrees, thinking to herself, after all, there's always light at the end of the tunnel. Surely there's still work for her to do? She wasn't such a useless person after all... But before she could even fully smile, she heard Sister Wandi say, "Tunxing might just wake up now. Bring these to her when you go back."
Wandi handed over a small bag. Ji Wenxue wanted to ask what it was, but the damn transparent bag prevented her from doing so. Inside were some fresh mice, suckling rabbits, quail, and other food.
After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Ji Wenxue consoled herself by telling herself that feeding Tunxing was a task, and at least it was something to do. However, she didn't give up. After feeding Tunxing, she immediately went out to find Jiang Zouwei.
"Sister Zou Wei, is there anything I can help you with?"
Jiang Zouwei was watching the screen while observing the people below. He didn't even turn his head in his busy schedule. "No."
After hearing this, Ji Wenxue was afraid that she would be in the way, so she left quickly.
Go find Ying Zhao again.
Ji Wenxue thought on the way that Sister Ying Zhao had both issues with their pelvic floor channel and her own laboratory. Logically speaking, she should be in need of help.
However, perhaps because she was too busy, she walked for a long time but couldn't even find Ying Zhaoren. Ji Wenxue had no choice but to turn around and look for Yao Si. She thought she was doing her best because although Yao Si would probably not refuse, Yao Si had no say.
Yao Si only does his own thing and ignores everything else...
Finally, after a busy day, Ji Wenxue returned to the tree house and collapsed on the sofa, lamenting that she had worked in vain all day.
Although everyone loves delicious food, in order to improve efficiency during this special period, Wandi and the others basically carry nutritional supplements in their hands. Since no one comes back, Ji Wenxue finds it boring to cook by herself, so she simply takes nutritional supplements every day.
Feeling restless, Ji Wenxue returned to her bedroom early. She placed a glass of water beside the bed, placed the alarm clock next to it, and lay down in bed. There was no point in overthinking, so she might as well let her get some sleep.
She slept extremely soundly. When the alarm rang, Ji Wenxue was still a little drowsy. She opened her eyes twice and then closed them again. She stretched out her arm to grope for her watch, wanting to turn off the alarm and then check the time.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to open her eyes when she touched the thing, a glass of water suddenly splashed over her. Ji Wenxue was startled awake and stared at the glass in her hand for a long time in silence.
Ji Wenxue finally understood what it meant to be so unlucky that even drinking water would get stuck in one's teeth. She took a quick shower and then started to tidy up the sheets and quilt covers, as they had all been wet by her and needed to be washed again.
After everything was packed up, Ji Wenxue looked out the window and was still thinking, wondering if Sister Wanti and the others had come back last night, and when they came back?
There was a sudden knock on the door. Ji Wenxue turned her head and saw Wan Di leaning against the door frame looking at her.
"Hey, Sister Wanti, are you back? Come in quickly, is there anything you want to talk to me about? Ah, what I mean is that you can come to me if you have nothing to do. Sister Wanti, you can come whenever you want..." Ji Wenxue asked, almost biting her tongue accidentally.
Wandi walked in with a smile and touched Ji Wenxue's head. "There is indeed something that only our Wenxue can do."
"Hey?!" Ji Wenxue was naturally surprised and happy when she heard it. "What's the matter?"
"Remember Mouth Star? They're almost here, and I need someone to pick them up there. You'll lead them along the B5 system route, then glide here and land between 70 and 75 percent of the way to the Ti Sphere."
Ji Wenxue from Mouth Planet naturally remembered. On this planet where everything revolved around the mouth, besides President Wandi, the person who felt most comfortable there was probably Ji Wenxue, a foodie.
"Did they arrive so soon?" Ji Wenxue asked in surprise. After listening to what Wanti said, Ji Wenxue's mood had actually suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny. She could tell that what Wanti said were important secrets. The more private things she was willing to share, the more it showed the trust and intimacy in the relationship.
Ji Wenxue asked this question, but actually she didn't care about the answers. She was just happy and loved everyone in it.
Wandi smiled and nodded, "You can go to the warehouse and pick out the spaceship you like."
Wandi had noticed Ji Wenxue's low mood a few days ago and wanted to arrange something to distract her, but she couldn't find the right one. Fearing she might end up making things worse, Wandi cautiously waited and watched. Finally, she happened to receive a message from Chun and immediately came to find Ji Wenxue.
People often feel a sense of accomplishment when they work in areas they are good at.
As Wandi spoke, her eyes suddenly fell on the glass beside the bed. There was no water in it anymore, only some water droplets remained on the wall of the glass. She thought of the scene she had just seen.
Wandi's smile grew wider, and she felt it was cute. "Go ahead."
"Okay! Don't worry, Sister Wandi, I will definitely bring Zuibaxing to the right place." Ji Wenxue said as she stood up, a bold look in her eyes.
Ji Wenxue said goodbye to Wandi and quickly went to the warehouse. She picked out the smallest spaceship. Although Wandi told her to pick any one she liked, she was worried that everyone might need something else in the next few days, so she had to leave enough for the other sisters.
Wandi watched Ji Wenxue leave, then turned back to the tree house. Things had pretty much been done over the past few days, so it was a good time to take a break.
As dusk approached, the birds returned to their nests, and when the late fishermen returned to the harbor, everyone also came back one after another.
"You're back so early today? Are you the only one here?" Jiang Zouwei was the first to return. Because their tunnels were mostly built in unexplored areas, they usually worked during the day to ensure safety. They woke up early in the morning and were usually back at Jiao Garden by dark. She looked at Wan Di and asked.
"I've almost finished dealing with things over there. Wen Xue went to Mouth Star and will probably be back with him in a week."
Jiang Zou smiled and walked to the sofa. "Then we can rest for a while." Then, as if thinking of something, he said, "Ying Zhao, I saw that you seemed a little absent-minded this afternoon."
Although she is a quiet person, Jiang Zouwei's observation ability is not to be exaggerated. Even the slightest abnormality hidden under seemingly normal actions cannot escape her eyes.
"Ying Zhao?" Wan Di repeated, "I haven't seen him for several days." Ever since Ying Zhao reported to her that day, Ying Zhao, who was determined to accomplish something great, had been in seclusion and disappeared from her sight for several days.
"I also asked her to come this afternoon to discuss the channel issue. She sounded a little tired when I called her." Jiang Zouwei continued to recall the details of the time.
"Is it because I'm under too much pressure recently?" Wandi guessed while rubbing his fingers.
Just at this moment, the door opened and Ying Zhao and Yao Si came back together.
"A lawyer called me today." Ying Zhao said as soon as he sat down on the sofa.
