Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Zhao Xiaoxiu picked up the satellite phone.
It's been almost a month, so Youyou should have recovered by now, right?
I should call and check on her, so she won't say that she never contacts him.
It was neither early nor late, around 7:30 PM. The other end of the line was probably busy; Zhao Xiaoxiu waited five or six seconds before the call was answered.
Yang Mei forbids her son from playing on his phone and only gives him a learning tablet. Previously, it was Youyou who took the initiative to contact Zhao Xiaoxiu.
This was the first time Zhao Xiaoxiu had taken the initiative to call him; she had called Yang Mei's number, which she had previously saved.
However, the voice that came through the phone was that of a female guard.
Before the female guard could even speak, Youyou snatched the phone away.
"Give it to me, give it to me, is that Mom calling?"
When Zhao Xiaoxiu heard that voice on the receiver, she couldn't help but laugh, "Hello! Yang Hengjie, have you been discharged from the hospital?"
Thinking it was her mother, Youyou was both surprised and delighted to hear another familiar child's voice: "Xiaoxiu?!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu: "It's me. Are you done?"
Youyou: "Waaah! You promised to call me often, but you're only calling now. I'm going to get angry and I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
"Oh, then I'll hang up..."
"No, no! I'm talking to you now."
Zhao Xiaoxiu snorted smugly and went straight to asking about building a research base in the planting area, which surprised Youyou.
"How do you know? Who told you? My mother went to the planting area a long time ago... um!" The rest of her words were cut off and she couldn't say them.
The female guard hung up the phone.
Zhao Xiaoxiu sighed and told the adults in front of her the news with a helpless look in her eyes.
Grandma Meng exclaimed, "So Director Yang had already arrived in the planting area a long time ago. It seems that building a research base is a done deal."
"It would be even better if the biotechnology company's exchange hall were also brought here; maybe we could even get a discount on evolution potions," Meng Er said expectantly.
Meng Da was more meticulous and thought things through more comprehensively. He felt that Yang Mei's personal visit confirmed that what they were looking for was definitely in the three planting areas, A, B, and C.
I don't know if that thing is harmful to people. If it affects the lords' farming, that would be terrible.
Hopefully, the biotech company can find that thing quickly.
Perhaps sensing that Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father didn't seem interested in the topic, the Meng family mother and her two children sat for a little while longer before going home.
Sister Monkey also returned to the greenhouse, busy adding fertilizer to the evolved tomato so that more fruits would ripen tomorrow, allowing it to successfully eat tomato and egg soup tonight.
The door was closed, leaving only Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father inside.
Zhao Xiaoxiu said, "Dad, she's come to see you."
Zhao Gang said in a normal tone, "I ate a giant mutant python before, and they found out about me. It's normal that they came over."
"But Aunt Yang arrived early without making a sound. Did she discover something and not want to alert the enemy?" Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't like the feeling of being watched.
Her little hand took her father's big hand, afraid that he would have a conflict with the biotechnology company and that he would not be hurt in any way.
Although he appears so powerful, her knowledge and understanding of him is probably less than one ten-thousandth.
Whether it's a human or a monster, there will always be weaknesses.
Zhao Gang held his daughter's small hand tightly; her palms were sweating with nervousness.
He hastily wiped his daughter's hand on his trouser leg and said with certainty, "She can't threaten me."
"It's so difficult," the little girl thought sadly before going to sleep.
Sensing the cub's emotions, Zhao Gang suddenly said, "Then I'll eat her."
Zhao Xiaoxiu was instantly jolted awake and hurriedly said, "I don't feel uncomfortable at all anymore, I'm all better, really!"
Zhao Gang: "Oh, okay."
His tone sounded rather regretful.
What else could Zhao Xiaoxiu do? Sleep!
It's possible that the female guard told Yang Mei about Youyou's leaked information. The next day, Zhao Xiaoxiu slept in late for once and slid down the snow slide. The first thing she saw was not Sister Monkey, not her father, and not her father's tentacles.
Instead, Yang Mei was wearing a military green overcoat and had a big smile on her face.
"Good morning," Yang Mei waved and greeted him.
Caught off guard, Zhao Xiaoxiu slid forward two meters and almost sat down in the melting mud.
Having already been scorned and threatened by the tentacles yesterday for getting all dirty, Zhao Xiaoxiu had little chance of escaping a beating if they did it again this morning.
Fortunately, two speed-evolved guards caught her in time and carried her steadily to Yang Mei.
Zhao Xiaoxiu raised her little hand: "Hi, Aunt Yang."
"Aren't you surprised to see me here?" Yang Mei squatted down, her gaze level with Zhao Xiaoxiu's, and spoke softly, a stark contrast to her usual seriousness.
If Youyou were here, seeing her mother being so gentle with other children, she would definitely cry her eyes out.
Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded honestly and asked curiously, "Auntie, why did you come all of a sudden? Aren't you with Youyou?"
Yang Mei smiled: "Didn't Youyou tell you last night that I had arrived at the planting area? Have you already forgotten?"
Before Zhao Xiaoxiu could show an awkward smile, Yang Mei continued, "I've been here for a while now. I've been staying at the patrol station in Area A, preparing for the construction of the new research base."
"After this period of investigation, we have decided to build the research base on the flat ground at the south entrance of Area B. If you need anything in the future, you can come and find Auntie anytime."
Zhao Xiaoxiu wasn't stupid; she quickly realized that Yang Mei was reporting the situation to her.
Perhaps the word "report" is a bit inappropriate, but that's how Zhao Xiaoxiu felt.
Yang Mei practically said: I know something's wrong with you. I'm planning to build a research base nearby to observe and study you. Don't resist, and I won't hurt you. Let's try to stay friendly, okay?
Zhao Xiaoxiu turned her head away and took a deep breath. She wondered if she was overinterpreting things.
But when he looked back, he saw that Yang Mei's eyes held joy, restraint, respect, and even a hint of piety.
"Aunt Yang, have you misunderstood something?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked timidly.
Yang Mei: "How could that be?"
I was incredibly excited: He had begun to deny! Denial is an admission!
She had already discovered from Mo Shigui's investigation that the father and daughter were not in the planting area during the period before and after the giant mutated python disappeared.
There aren't that many coincidences in the world; if there are, then that's the truth.
Seeing that Yang Mei's gaze was becoming increasingly strange, Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly ran into the house, calling out, "Dad!"
Zhao Gang came out carrying a pot of hot water and a quilt, only to be bumped into by his own cub with a "thud".
Yang Mei was startled when she saw this.
Fortunately, Zhao Gang held the tray steady, and the hot water did not spill onto Zhao Xiaoxiu.
