Chapter 1361: Lu Meiqing the Nurse

While Lin Qiao and her people were returning to the earth’s 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 didn’t get a thing. We have no idea what happened to your daughter, but I think if she’s 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 Bai’s 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 Kongchen’s words, he sat behind his desk motionlessly, looking at Xie Longyun’s 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, “You’ve 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, don’t you know about my ability? That All Beings Base is really difficult. It’s not my fault. I’ve 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 didn’t 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 don’t intend to switch partners now.”

“Don’t worry!” Si Kongchen looked at him and said seriously, “I won’t 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 manager’s office. A nurse who came from the other side of the hallway saw them and smiled delightedly.

“Hi, Ms. Cheng, you’re here delivering lunch to your little brother again! You probably should find him a wife and let her do the job. Don’t 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 couldn’t possibly have the time to go home to cook. He sometimes went to Lin Feng’s 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 didn’t need food to maintain their body functions, because their superpower energies would do the work. But of course, they couldn’t 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, you’re right. We do need to find Lin Hao a wife. He’s not attracted to any girl though, so we don’t know what to do.”

The nurse was Lin Hao’s 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 Hao’s 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 Hao’s desk. Lin Xiaolu quietly walked to a chair and sat down as well.

Lu Meiqing put the files in her hand on Lin Hao’s desk as well, also conveniently tidying the desk. While doing that, she responded to Cheng Wangxue with a smile, “Yeah, he’s examining a patient. I’m afraid it’ll 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 don’t have the time to wait for him. I need to get back. I’ll leave the food here. He’ll eat it when he comes back here. He’ll know it’s me who brought the food to him.”

“You’re right,” Lu Meiqing nodded and said.

After saying that, she quietly glanced at the lunch box and turned to Cheng Wangxue, “I guess you’ve been busy too. Earlier it was Wenwen who brought the food to Mr. Lin.”

“Yeah, I’m a little busy indeed,” Cheng Wangxue nodded and said with a smile.

“He’s gotten used to you guys bringing him the food. Aren’t 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 what’s right. He’ll 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 didn’t 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 he’s not working late here.”

She didn’t 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 Hao’s assistant, but he didn’t tell her everything. She had searched through his office but didn’t find anything. And now, Cheng Wangxue was appearing to be more difficult than she thought.

Cheng Wangxue smiled and said, “I didn’t know about that. Alright, the food has been delivered. We’ll take our leave. Xiaolu, let’s 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 Wangxue’s, the girl gave Lu Meiqing a casual glance. Her pure and innocent eyes contained an indescribable meaning.

Lu Meiqing didn’t notice the look in Lin Xiaolu’s eyes. As Cheng Wangxue prepared to leave, she hurriedly said to the former that she needed to leave too, because she didn’t want to be considered suspicious.
