Bai Meiyue narrowed her eyes when she heard the words of the man. Now one thing was rather clear. Either the man was behind the cause of this trouble or someone else took hold of his notes and started causing this chaos. It had to be one of the two things and she was determined to find the person behind it.
"Do you know anything more?" She turned to look at the man and asked in a soft voice. Bai Meiyue was not foolish. She knew that she needed Lei Qian's help; thus, she was not only polite with him but she also treated him with a subtle admiration.
As if she was silently telling him how good he was.
Sure enough, that gaze indeed did the job. Lei Qian smiled at her, looking a bit flattered and then said to her, "I do know a little bit but—"
"But?"
"But I don't believe that it will help you. First of all, the man who was fascinated with the Gu worms ended up dying. Secondly, this matter became a taboo in the army because the man actually died while practicing how to raise Gu worms. I don't think that he is the one behind this."
Bai Meiyue pursed her lips. Indeed, if the man was dead, then there was no way he was the one who awakened as an ability user who can raise Gu worms. Unless—
"What are you thinking?" Just as Bai Meiyue was lost in her thoughts, she heard Lei Qian call her name. She raised her head and turned to look at the man who sat next to her and heard him say, "Should you not be praising me? I saved so much of your time."
He seemed quite proud of this achievement as well!
Though Bai Meiyue felt amused by his actions, she still nodded and agreed with him. She raised her fist in the air and waved it lightly before saying to him, "You are really awesome."
She didn't mind handing some praises to Lei Qian as long as the man brought her necessary information that she needed. It wasn't as if she would run out of supplies if she praised Lei Qian.
"Of course, I am." Lei Qian puffed out his chest and his eyes turned into slits when he smiled at her. The two of them drove back to Jingshi street where they met with Xiao Wu and the rest.
Together they exchanged the supplies. Those who found antiques handed them to Bai Meiyue who in exchange handed food supplies and clothes to Xiao Wu's team.
Shen Zhen and Zhou Hongbei also got their hands on some good things, which left them smiling from one ear to another.
After regrouping, the entire team returned to the apartment building.
When Bai Meiyue stepped down from the RV, she saw Fang Qing following a man. The woman flinched when she saw Bai Meiyue and lowered her head. Though neither of them said anything, Bai Meiyue knew what was going on. She curled her lips and looked at the woman who had already followed another man and turned her gaze away without even looking at Fang Qing.
