Chapter 1361: Lu Meiqing the Nurse
While Lin Qiao and her people were returning to the earths surface, Si Kongchen visited the secret lab which was located outside the base again.
The batch of people that came out of the ground this time got away, and our people didnt get a thing. We have no idea what happened to your daughter, but I think if shes really dead as you said, it must have something to do with the woman from All Beings Base, Si Kongchen sat in the sofa in Professor Bais office and leaned against the back of the sofa as he looked at Professor Bai and said.
Professor Bai was wearing a sullen look. His wrinkles seemed to have grown deeper, and his back had become hunched. He looked quiet and listless. On hearing Si Kongchens words, he sat behind his desk motionlessly, looking at Xie Longyuns photo, which was on the desk, without saying anything. Si Kongchen looked at him and fell into silence as well.
After staying silent for a while, Professor Bai finally dropped his head and started talking, Youve been failing a lot recently. Why?
On hearing that, Si Kongchen furrowed his brows slightly and put on an unhappy face as he responded to Professor Bai immediately, Professor Bai, dont you know about my ability? That All Beings Base is really difficult. Its not my fault. Ive been trying to find a way. I will figure out their secret before we take serious action. Believe me!
While finishing his speech, he sat straight and looked at Professor Bai determinedly.
Professor Bai didnt look at him but fixed his eyes on the photo. A few seconds after the other finished his speech, he replied with a bland tone, I work with you because I believe in your capability. You becoming less capable than before is not a good thing for me. At least I dont intend to switch partners now.
Dont worry! Si Kongchen looked at him and said seriously, I wont give you that kind of chance.
At the same time, Cheng Wangxue was carrying a lunch box with a hand in All Beings Base, holding Lin Xiaolu with the other while walking to the hospital managers office. A nurse who came from the other side of the hallway saw them and smiled delightedly.
Hi, Ms. Cheng, youre here delivering lunch to your little brother again! You probably should find him a wife and let her do the job. Dont you find it too hard to do this every day? The nurse looked at Cheng Wangxue and made a joke.
Lin Hao had no time to cook for himself. He worked in the hospital all day and couldnt possibly have the time to go home to cook. He sometimes went to Lin Fengs place for dinner when he got off work on time, and if he worked late, he would simply skip dinner.
Superpower possessors were much stronger than commoners. They didnt need food to maintain their body functions, because their superpower energies would do the work. But of course, they couldnt survive without food. Skipping meals for too long would cause their digestive system to grow weak and make them long for flavors.
Their superpower energies would maintain their body functions, but they would still feel hungry. That was a torment.
So, Cheng Wangxue and Lin Wenwen took turns to deliver meals to Lin Hao.
On hearing what the nurse said, Cheng Wangxue laughed, Oh, this is not hard, just a small thing. But, youre right. We do need to find Lin Hao a wife. Hes not attracted to any girl though, so we dont know what to do.
The nurse was Lin Haos assistant. As Cheng Wangxue and Lin Wenwen often came to visit Lin Hao, she had grown rather familiar with them.
Lu Meiqing held some files with a hand as she unlocked the door of Lin Haos office with the other and stood by the side, pushing the door open and letting Cheng Wangxue in. However, no one was in the office. Seeing the empty office, Cheng Wangxue asked, Is he busy working again?
Cheng Wangxue brought Lin Xiaolu into the office and put the lunch box on Lin Haos desk. Lin Xiaolu quietly walked to a chair and sat down as well.
Lu Meiqing put the files in her hand on Lin Haos desk as well, also conveniently tidying the desk. While doing that, she responded to Cheng Wangxue with a smile, Yeah, hes examining a patient. Im afraid itll take a while. Are you two gonna wait here until he finishes the meal or leave the food here?
Cheng Wangxue smiled at her and said, I dont have the time to wait for him. I need to get back. Ill leave the food here. Hell eat it when he comes back here. Hell know its me who brought the food to him.
Youre right, Lu Meiqing nodded and said.
After saying that, she quietly glanced at the lunch box and turned to Cheng Wangxue, I guess youve been busy too. Earlier it was Wenwen who brought the food to Mr. Lin.
Yeah, Im a little busy indeed, Cheng Wangxue nodded and said with a smile.
Hes gotten used to you guys bringing him the food. Arent you guys worried that he might never go home? Lu Meiqing tidied the desk and paused before asking another question casually.
Cheng Wangxue shook her head slightly, No. He knows whats right. Hell go home when he should.
On hearing that, Lu Meiqing knitted her brows slightly. She hurriedly turned around, in case Cheng Wangxue noticed the look on her face.
She didnt get what she wanted and was reluctant to give up, so she continued, Our director is a workaholic. He always brings home a stack of files when hes not working late here.
She didnt really know if Lin Hao would bring files home. She said that because she wanted to get some useful information from Cheng Wangxue.
She was Lin Haos assistant, but he didnt tell her everything. She had searched through his office but didnt find anything. And now, Cheng Wangxue was appearing to be more difficult than she thought.
Cheng Wangxue smiled and said, I didnt know about that. Alright, the food has been delivered. Well take our leave. Xiaolu, lets go!
Lin Xiaolu immediately turned to her mother and stood up from the chair before walking to her. While raising a hand to hold Cheng Wangxues, the girl gave Lu Meiqing a casual glance. Her pure and innocent eyes contained an indescribable meaning.
Lu Meiqing didnt notice the look in Lin Xiaolus eyes. As Cheng Wangxue prepared to leave, she hurriedly said to the former that she needed to leave too, because she didnt want to be considered suspicious.
