After Chen Yuanyuan entered the room, she looked around the room.
Although the room is not big and has few facilities, it is still quite clean. There is a bunk bed and a table in the room. It looks relatively simple. It is probably a place where some of the subordinates usually rest.
Several people sat down around the table, and Chen Yuanyuan sighed deeply. Although the Xiang family was originally from the underworld, they were ruthless in handling affairs in a wealthy family.
Fortunately, they are still somewhat wary of the base and research institute. Otherwise, even if they couldn't catch evidence of them stealing materials today, it would probably be a bloody battle.
Although Chen Yuanyuan is not afraid of fights, she can still be considered the breadwinner of the family. If she offends the Xiang family, it will probably have some impact on her ability to continue living peacefully at the base in the future.
Several people were preparing to discuss the next countermeasures when there was a knock on the door of the room. After He Yuehua opened the door, she saw Huang Gou and two aunts coming to the door.
"This is a sterilized cotton pad. It is used to treat the wound of the injured young lady just now. My cousin asked my aunt to bring you a stove and hot water." Huang Gou said.
"Trouble." He Yuehua said lightly.
Huang Gou asked his aunt to take the things into the room, then closed the door for them and left.
"What a bully! How can they threaten us to follow us!" Zhang Linlin complained as soon as the door was closed.
"They also have good intentions. The research institute will send someone to pick us up tomorrow. Since the medicinal materials have been collected, it will be safer for us to go down the mountain a day early." Chen Yuanyuan pointed to the door and winked at Zhang Linlin crazily.
"Yes, hurry up if someone leads the way down the mountain. Let's just contact the research institute to pick us up at the bottom of the mountain." He Yuehua added immediately upon seeing this.
"Okay, then I'll contact the research institute first." Chen Yuanyuan looked at the direction of the door and saw that there was no movement. It seemed that it would not prevent them from contacting the base.
Chen Yuanyuan pretended to take out the first aid kit and satellite phone from the bag. Although they were in the room, there was no guarantee that they would not be monitored, so they had to be careful.
After Liu Feiyang took the first aid kit, he carefully disinfected the wounds on Zhang Linlin's face.
Fortunately, it was only a slight scratch on the skin, and it would probably be fine in a day or two.
"Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Zhang Linlin remembered that if she hadn't thought that there was no one on the mountain and wandered out alone, she wouldn't have let everyone be led by Xiang Suiwen now.
"It's okay. I'll call back first. They are all anxious." As soon as Chen Yuanyuan turned on the satellite phone, she saw dozens of missed calls, from Locke and Shen Yichen.
Chen Yuanyuan didn't expect Shen Yichen to receive the news so quickly, but since walls have ears, she decided to call Locke first.
Within two seconds of the call being connected, Locke immediately picked up the phone and talked non-stop.
"Hey! Sister-in-law! What happened? I was outside just now. As soon as I received the news, I called the boy from the Xiang family. He said he met you on the mountain and escorted you down the mountain. Are you in danger?" Locke? road.
"There may be some misunderstanding. Our mission of collecting herbs from the mountains for the research institute has been completed. You may need to trouble you to send someone to pick us up." Chen Yuanyuan hinted.
"Fuck! He said so nicely that he would send you down the mountain. No wonder that boy kept talking about the medicine just now. Don't worry, I told you that you were doing an important task. He didn't dare to neglect you. Where are you now? I'll come here personally. Pick you up." Locke said.
Chen Yuanyuan understood immediately upon hearing this. No wonder he just said he didn't want anything. Xiang Suiwen still ordered someone to bring something over. It seemed that Locke had already contacted him.
"We are on the mountainside of that mountain now, but I don't know exactly where we are. You can ask the Xiang family." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Okay, you should also pay attention to safety in Xiangjia's territory. Although Xiangjia will not touch you, they now make a living by opening private inns. Unlike official inns, there are all kinds of people in there." Locke said .
"Private inn?" Chen Yuanyuan frowned as she remembered that she was deceived into a private inn by that doggy couple in her previous life.
"On the surface, it's similar to an official inn. It provides accommodation and some material transactions, but there are also some other transactions, which is also Xiangjia's specialty." Locke said.
Although the Xiang family has been clean for many years, many of their brothers also have criminal records and some criminal records.
As one of the four wealthy families, the Xiang family, like other families, was invited to invest in the construction of a base and knew that the end of the world was coming.
In order to settle some brothers with criminal records, they also started planning before the end of the world, invested heavily in many hotels, and started the inn business.
Therefore, the Liu family, which made its fortune in real estate, and the Zheng family, a leader in foreign trade, invested the most resources in the base.
There is also a retail giant, the Li family. Although they donated a large amount of materials to the base, it is said that the core personnel have already collected the money and left Xiangcheng, leaving behind those who moved to the Guangdong base are the Li family's side branches.
"Well, we will pay attention. Please contact Black City. I have something to do here." Chen Yuanyuan knew that there was someone snooping outside the door, so she had to contact Shen Yichen.
"Okay, no problem. Just pay attention to your safety. Leave the rest to me." Locke said.
After Chen Yuanyuan hung up Locke's phone, she reached into her backpack again and took out four bottles of water and compressed biscuits.
After a few people had a simple lunch, Chen Yuanyuan and He Yuehua originally wanted to go find Xiang Suiwen and ask when they were leaving, but when they walked out the door, they saw that no one was there, so they went back to the room.
"They don't seem to be on the second floor. Should we look for them?" He Yuehua asked.
"Let's take a rest first, then go out and take a look in half an hour." Chen Yuanyuan looked at the time and saw that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. She had been busy all morning. If they didn't rush, Xiang's family would have to wait until Locke arrived and couldn't hand him over before they were anxious. .
Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan was not in a hurry, they rested on the bed.
"Hello, I'm sorry to disturb your rest." Xiang Suiwen knocked on the door and saw Liu Feiyang's sleepy look on his face.
"Leaving now? Is it too late?" Liu Feiyang said.
"It's not too late, I'll have someone call the bridgeman so you can go down the mountain more comfortably." Xiang Suiwen said to please him.
When Chen Yuanyuan saw that Xiang Suiwen finally looked presentable and wasn't wearing that fake smile, she motioned for them to carry their bags and go downstairs.
When Xiang Suiwen saw several people leaving the room, he also signaled the yellow dog to go dig through the garbage left by Chen Yuanyuan and the others.
"It's not ours." Wang Gou said as he took out the wrapping paper of the compressed biscuits.
"Well, that's good. Let's see off the guests." Xiang Suiwen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Now the family has issued a hunting order to arrest those who stole supplies, and the base research institute is also pressuring him to return Chen Yuanyuan and the four others.
And Chen Yuanyuan was not stupid, she had already guessed that they would dig through the trash can.
Although I mainly stocked delicacies before, I also bought some compressed biscuits when I was in a foreign trade company. The imported packaging was completely different from the ones in the cave, which lowered Xiang Suiwen's vigilance.
