Chapter 1240 - 1240-Unlucky Days

Xu Yuancheng’s eyelids twitched when he saw that the thing he was about to get was empty. He felt a little embarrassed. However, since things had already come to this, he couldn’t dawdle. He steeled his heart and climbed up nimbly.

Xiao Haiqing’s mouth twitched slightly. He wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.

Logically speaking, she should be angry that her phone was smashed. However, Second Uncle Xu’s current appearance surprised her. He was obviously embarrassed to the point of wanting to go berserk, but he endured it with all his might. He wanted to save face and suffer.

“Did you get a clear look?” Liang Jiuhui asked as he walked.

“Got a clear look, one of them is from the group we saw yesterday,”

Sheng Jing said through gritted teeth.

Her face had been almost fully healed by Lin Tianhui’s treatment, but there were still some pinkish lines that needed time for the skin to heal itself. After inspecting her wound, Doctor Yao from the medical team suggested she should avoid exposure to light as much as possible for the next few days. However, when she heard that those people might be at the base, she insisted on coming out with Liang Jiuhui, and just now, she really saw one of those people!

Liang Jiuhui nodded to show he understood, that made things easier to handle.@@novelbin@@

But right now, he needed to make a trip back.

His father should be arriving soon, too.

When Su Jin and the others delivered Liang Wei to his residence as Liang Jiuhui had requested, Liang Jiuhui also just happened to return from outside.

“We still have to thank you for this time,”

Seeing Liang Wei, Liang Jiuhui truly let go of his worry, no matter who was lurking in the shadows at the base, he would protect Liang Wei.

“No need for thanks, our mission is complete, we’re heading back now,” Lu Hao said.

Su Jin and the others did not linger, believing that the father and son had a lot to talk about.

“Ah, managing a base is no easy task,” Lin Xiuyuan said as he stepped in, slipping off his shoes.

“That’s because you lack ambition. Aren’t people vying for the chance to be an emperor in ancient times?” Huang Yunxiang said.

“Mom, can’t you give me a bit of maternal affection?”

He somehow felt that his own mother was constantly criticizing him.

As they entered the house, they collapsed onto the sofa, completely drained.

Strangely enough, people often feel energetic when they are outside, not tired at all, but the moment they arrive home and see a cushy sofa, they can’t help but want to lean on it and feel utterly exhausted.

Right now, Su Jin was experiencing this exact feeling. Fortunately, the villa’s main hall was spacious and the couch set was a luxurious one; otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough space for all of them to sit.

Local Tyrant Gold, too, lay spread-eagled in its nest, looking utterly content.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle…

Someone’s stomach began to protest. Su Jin suddenly realized that they had only eaten breakfast that day, not even having a break for lunch, and everyone must be hungry.

“Let’s go wash up first, and then we’ll have some afternoon tea,”

Su Jin stood and said, as it was not yet time for dinner. They could have some afternoon tea before Lin Cheng and Guo Yang returned to tide them over.

“Great, great, afternoon tea sounds wonderful!”

Nie Qing’s spirits lifted at the mention, as the Lin family’s grandfather not only cooked superb dishes, but his pastries were top-notch as well.

“Second Uncle, don’t worry. I won’t complain to Yun Zhao.”Xiao Haiqing quickly said.

“I didn’t mean that.” Xu Yuancheng frowned and said,””I was rash. I should apologize.”

“It’s alright.” Xiao Haiqing was also very direct.

“Don’t worry. Although there aren’t many people on this road, there should be some trucks passing by at night. If we’re lucky, we should be able to send you back in time.”Xu Yuancheng added.

There were still five to six hours before Xiao Haiqing had to go to work. Xiao Haiqing didn’t think that he would be too miserable. He hadn’t met a single good person in such a long time.
