Huahong hesitated for a while, and went out with Jinzai to find out if Lin Yan was really back.
After walking a few steps, I met Ye Zi and Ye Cong.
Both of them were very sure that Lin Yan was really back and was at the Arbitration Court, so they were told to go home and wait.
After confirming that the person was back, Huahong and Jinzai sat at home and waited patiently. Time passed slowly. It seemed that almost two hours had passed and Lin Yan had not come back. It was already past ten o'clock in the night.
At this point, people would have rested long ago, and there were very few people in the city who were still awake.
Huahong said worriedly: "What happened? I'm so panicked. How about we go to the Arbitration Court to have a look."
Jin Zai was also very uneasy, but he still remembered the rules, "When the Arbitration Court is discussing matters, no one is allowed to enter, and even if they do, they will not be able to enter."
"I know, let's wait at the door."
"That's good. It's pitch dark. It's just the right time to take Lin Yan home with us."
The two went out again and met Lin Yan returning home halfway.
Of course, she didn't come back alone. Two people sent her back. When she saw Huahong and Jinzai, she asked them to go back.
As soon as he entered the house, Huahong couldn't help but said: "What happened? Why did you come home so late?"
Jin Zai hurriedly went to heat up food for Lin Yan. Lin Yan was always hungry when he came back late at night.
Lin Yan originally wanted to hide it for now, but after thinking about it, they would still know in a few days, so it was better to tell the truth.
"Mom, dad, I do have something to do when I come back this time, but I can't tell you in detail. In a few days, I will be traveling far away, and my return date is uncertain. I have to worry about you again."
Huahong looked worried, "Can't you tell me where you are going? It's so mysterious. What do you want to do?"
"Auntie, please keep it a secret. This is a secret operation. Tomorrow, prepare more food and clothing for me. I will bring more things."
When Hua Hong wanted to speak, it didn't take much to think that he was trying to persuade her not to go. Lin Yan said hurriedly: "Auntie, the matter has been decided. I must go. I know you and Dad are worried, but please don't worry, I have already When you grow up and know what you are doing, you will definitely protect yourself and come back safely."
Jin Zai said in a deep voice, "Just listen to her. If you can't tell her, don't ask."
Huahong glared at him and looked at Lin Yan with red eyes. She had a thousand things to say, but she didn't know where to start. He sighed bitterly: "We can't control you when you grow up. Just do whatever you want. Don't forget that your father and I are waiting for your return at home."
Lin Yan nodded heavily, "Yes, I won't forget it."
In the next ten days, everyone who was preparing to travel began busy preparations.
Handle the things at hand first, and prepare everything you need to go out. The time of departure has not yet been determined, so prepare as much as possible. The more of everything that is useful, the better.
Lin Yan spent five days arranging matters at the scientific research institute. When she leaves, the burden naturally falls on Shi Zhi, Ye Cong, Bai Chen and Feng Wenwen.
When Lin Yan was away, the four of them were the backbone of the research institute. Research could not stop, and they had to do their best to do better as planned.
Feng Wenwen was about to make a move and wanted to follow Lin Yan, but was cruelly rejected.
Lin Yan from the Research Academy is not too worried. What she can't let go of the most is the Arbitration Court. There is another election year in two years, and the chairman of the alliance must be elected. If I can't come back in time, I don't know if there will be trouble.
Lin Yan looked at Shui Sheng and Huang Ying and solemnly confessed, "I have prepared for the worst. I may not be able to come back within a few years. The future of the alliance will be left to you."
"Shui Sheng, you have the heaviest burden, please."
Among the friends who grew up together, only Shuisheng is closest to the position of arbiter. He has outstanding abilities and has done many great things in recent years, and he is also the one with the most say.
Lin Yan has high hopes for Shui Sheng, hoping that he can lead his friends to develop the alliance better and better.
It's not that she is unfounded, she is really worried about the current management staff, and she is always afraid that she will lose control if she is not careful.
It has not been easy to get here today, which is the result of the efforts of countless people, and we cannot fall short.
Shuisheng took a deep breath, "I know I can't stop you, so I will try my best to not let you down. However, you can't just stare at me. Huang Ying, Hua Min, Mao Mu, etc. are all very capable. Can you take care of them too?"
"I didn't say they can't do it. They have things to do, right, Huang Ying?"
Huang Ying smiled and nodded, "Shui Sheng is the most capable. Those who are capable work harder, I have no objection. I will definitely cooperate with his work."
Lin Yan spread his hands and said, "Shui Sheng, you see, no one has any objections. There are so many helpers, so just do your job well. As promised, I can rest assured that you are here."
Shui Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that Lin Yan caught him alone and squeezed him hard. He didn't realize that he was already overworked at such a young age, and the black and blue under his eyes were always there and would not go away.
Even so, he still said seriously: "Looking at you like this, you won't be able to find Wu Guo and won't come back. Have you ever thought about what you would do in the wild during the cold season?"
"Of course I have thought about it. We have brought cotton clothes and trousers and are fully prepared. Don't worry, even if it is cold season and there is ice and snow, we will definitely not freeze to death if we have fire."
What Lin Yan brought with him the most was the fire starter, which must be indispensable in the wild. Wu Guo didn't know how far it was from Sun City, so she was prepared for a long time.
This is an adventure with an uncertain return date. Once you have decided, you must move forward bravely.
Huang Ying reminded: "Pick someone from the medical hospital to take it with you. Find someone who understands pharmacology and treatment. It will be much more convenient when you are away from home."
Shuisheng also agreed, "Huang Ying is right. The people you are choosing now are all from the military. They will not be injured outside. We have a pharmacist with us, so we can rest assured."
After thinking about it, Lin Yan felt that it made sense. She had indeed ignored this point, "Okay, I will go to the medical school to select someone later."
On March 22, everything was ready, and a group of seventeen people, with full salutes, took a boat to Mingcheng.
Shui Sheng, Huang Ying and the four arbitrators went to see them off. They looked at the boat going away and felt heavy in their hearts. People have already set off, I just hope they can come back soon.
The people on the boat were not at peace either. There are both expectations and worries. The road ahead is unknown and good or bad is unpredictable.
If we can successfully find Wu Guo, all the efforts will be worth it. What I fear most is getting lost in the middle of nowhere, or returning without success.
However, since they chose to go with Lin Yan, everyone was prepared. No matter what the outcome was, they could accept it.
Everyone on the ship thought that Lin Yan was taking these people to Mingcheng to help. Since Mingcheng joined the alliance, ships have been coming and going constantly, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
There are so many people in Mingcheng, and everyone knows that it is not easy to build it well. It is completely understandable that Lin Yan will take charge of it personally.
