Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Abandoning the Car to Save the Commander

The rest were just some cigarettes, liquor, and such, and Jhiang Yuan even found quite a lot of large matches, those long ones.

It could be considered a fruitful trip after all, since most people don’t treat their offices like home.

If you stumble upon something, it’s your good luck.

If not, it’s to be expected.

As the saying goes, contentment brings happiness!

The remaining few offices were much the same, but quite a few things were found at the employees’ desks.

Snacks, tissues, tea, and lots of paper, books, scissors, small green plants, and what not.

With so many people, they also received a couple of parcels.

Moving up the floors, they indeed encountered a few decent companies.

The 22nd floor housed an office of a nationally renowned lingerie brand chain; the 23rd floor had a branded electronics subsidiary.

They walked and took things as they went, which was quite good.

By the time they reached the 24th floor, she had actually come across a pharmaceutical company.

She was incredibly excited, time was pressing, Song Yi would probably be coming down soon, and she had to hurry.

There were only twenty or thirty workstations here, but with no shortage of stuff.

Jhiang Yuan saw a lot of sample medication, along with a batch of goods.

One of her best friends worked in this field, just not in this city.

It was said that these medical representatives made a lot of money and often hoarded a portion of the medications.

This time, whether it was stockpiling or intended for distributors, it was all to her advantage.

However, these were all specialty drugs, mainly for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions.

Although powerful and valuable, they weren’t of much use to her.

What she wanted were common medications for ailments like colds and fevers.

Though she had hoarded quite a lot before, such items are always better in abundance.

She wasn’t discouraged, though; what should be collected, must be collected, in case they came in handy later.

Such things are chance encounters and not something you can count on.

As soon as she finished here, they moved upstairs, just in time to run into Song Yi coming down the stairs, and the two of them met in the stairwell.

Both of them carried two large bags and exchanged a smile.

Apparently, their spoils were quite similar, so there was no need for explanations.

This floor had regular offices, and working together, they found quite a lot of Beads in a storeroom.

They looked like they were made of plastic, two boxes of them, probably for some company event.

Jhiang Yuan found them on her own and put them into her space, leaving two strings outside to give to Xiao Nuan later.

The two worked swiftly to go downstairs and meet up with Jhiang Xingzhi, as it was already 2 p.m.

Time was tight, and they needed to move fast.

Jhiang Xingzhi had also gathered his things, and there were quite a few, plus he had found a wooden board.

"Wait a sec, we’re going to drag all this stuff back like this."

He was excited, but Jhiang Yuan was a bit tired and pulled out a self-heating rice meal from her backpack.

Work requires energy replenishment.

The three took a short break to rest and to discuss the next part of their journey.

"Actually, there are still a lot of things that could be taken, it’s just not convenient to take them back."

Jhiang Yuan sighed, and the other two nodded in agreement.

"Well, there’s nothing we can do about it, we just pick the edible stuff, and we’ll talk about the rest later.

I’ve been thinking, later we’ll fix this board to the ice cart, we’ll check the weight, and if it’s manageable, we’ll take turns pulling it."

Jhiang Xingzhi wanted to keep all the items together, and that wasn’t a bad idea.

If spread out, the targets would be too big.

This way, the remaining two people would be able to protect and not be in a fluster.

"Okay, let’s eat first, then pack things up properly later on, we need at least to tie them up."

With that, Jhiang Yuan couldn’t help but voice the questions lingering in her mind.

"Right, what all did you find inside the hospital just now!"

Song Yi knew she was concerned about the situation there and had previously stated the purpose of this trip.

"We basically got all the surgical instruments we needed, and also cotton swabs, alcohol, hemostatics, and painkillers,"

The hospital wasn’t large, but since it was next to a community hospital and you could use health insurance there, business was still okay.

Plus, they offered many services, including treatments for physiological diseases between men and women, which they heavily advertised.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, there was no problem.

With this answer, she calmed down. It was fine as long as they had the supplies.

Better safe than sorry!

The three of them ate something to simply replenish their energy and, not daring to rest, began to work on the rest of the materials.

The board they used was actually a door, though Jhiang Xingzhi had taken it off from somewhere unknown.

He had even removed the doorknobs and the locks, of course, not throwing them away but setting them aside.

This made the entire board flat, which was convenient for placing things.

Small items were placed in the middle, surrounded by boxed or bagged items.

Further secured with ropes on the outside, this was the safest.

He fixed this board to Song Yi’s largest ice cart.

There was still some room left for maneuvering, which would be convenient later on.

"Alright, let me give it a try."

His dad took the lead, wielding his ice cone and headed out.

It was mobile, but the speed was only about half of what it had been on the way there.

Jhiang Yuan also tried and found it rather strenuous to slide it along.

But it was movable.

"Let’s do it like this, Uncle and I can take turns..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Jhiang Yuan followed his gaze.

It turned out that a few people had appeared under the adjacent building; they’d clearly noticed them.

"What do we do?"

That was their second destination, and now people were there, and they had been exposed.

"Move out first..."

Saying this, he mounted the ice cart and slid ahead.

Jhiang Yuan and Jhiang Xingzhi didn’t dare dawdle; the people over there saw Song Yi leaving and visibly quickened their steps.

One of them even took a fall.

As she swung her ice cone, she heard a classic phrase of the "national essence."

Good gracious, someone was quite flustered.

Choosing to protect what they had secured over confronting the unknown was the priority.

Song Yi’s thoughts aligned perfectly with hers.

Under the Second Ring Bridge, the trio looked across at the shopping center, unsure of what to do.

The absence of pursuit meant they were safe.

"Let’s head straight back; this area has probably been scoped out by others too."

"Alright, no time to lose."

Jhiang Xingzhi felt that since they had gathered so many supplies, they shouldn’t be greedy, lest they end up with nothing.

"Let’s go!"

Song Yi still led the way, but it was still early to return; they had previously agreed to come back later in the evening.

Heading east for about half an hour, the ice cart in the front came to a stop.

"Xiao Song, take a break; I’ll pull..."

Jhiang Xingzhi reached Song Yi’s side, followed by Jhiang Yuan.

"No, let’s make a detour there first before heading back."
