Chapter 97: Chapter 97: Meeting Teammates Halfway

The speed was quite fast, what was going on, why did it seem like the motor’s power was stronger than hers?

If this continued, she would likely surpass her.

When the time came, if they followed her to the residential area, that would be troublesome.

Seeing an abandoned building nearby, Jhiang Yuan had a stroke of genius and immediately turned the kayak in that direction.

The huge building blocked her and the kayak effectively.

Still feeling uneasy, she took a high-powered binoculars to scout for any threats.

As they drew nearer, her heart beat faster and faster, just like when she had encountered those people before, somewhat nervous.

"What’s going on?"

Behind that kayak, there were unexpectedly two smaller kayaks.

The way they were operated was too similar to theirs, could it be Dad and the others?

But it was too far to see the people clearly, and with the rain, the lens was also blurry.

It really felt like them!

Not to mention anything else, the person steering the boat was wrapped up tightly, she couldn’t see his face clearly either.

Feeling anxious inside, she wished she hadn’t hidden so far away.

By the time the three kayaks passed by her, she was certain, it was indeed her dad and the others.

She couldn’t see the people, but she could recognize her own kayak.

The SpongeBob pattern, in the dreary world, was particularly ostentatious.

Song Yi’s motor was definitely modified, and she had also spent a lot of money on hers.

The owner of the outdoor gear shop had said it was the best, but it was nowhere near the speed of his.

So now, she couldn’t catch up.

She could only strive to follow behind them, aiming to go back together.

The person ahead seemed to have noticed the situation behind, speeding up even more.

Within five minutes, she was left behind.

Dammit, not cool to ditch your teammate like that.

Fortunately, the residential area wasn’t far, so it didn’t matter if she went back on her own.

Twenty minutes later, she also arrived at the residential area, time waits for no one, it was about 6 am already.

At that moment, everyone was still asleep, not a single person was out.

She didn’t know if it was because of the rain, or because it was winter, but it was still pitch dark.

When she reached Building 13, she indeed saw the kayaks, it was undoubtedly them.

Jhiang Yuan ran over happily, just as she was getting closer, someone came over with a paddle.

The hostility was quite apparent, Jhiang Yuan was also wrapped up tightly, the outer raincoat even had a hood, the kind that completely covered her face.

She turned off the motor, and the noise abruptly stopped.

The opposite was a cautious Zhang Kaiyang, she pulled off her face cover, and Song Yi also came over from inside.

He must have heard the commotion and hurried over to reinforce.

"Jhiang Yuan, hurry..."

Song Yi recognized her immediately and hurriedly helped pull her kayak over.

Then he reached out and pulled her over.

"Sister Yuan, why were you behind?"

"It’s a long story, where’s Dad?"

"Uncle went upstairs to change clothes..."

She knew it, there was definitely no problem, Song Yi’s motor was different from the others.

He was absolutely a big boss, later she would share some of the hidden concerns with him.

Let him help analyze the situation, see what would be best to do, and if he could take action, that would be even better.

"Sister Yuan, you’re finally back, I was so worried."

Ye Mianmian also ran over, her eyes red, and hugged her tightly.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, see, I’m fine, don’t worry."

She gently patted the girl’s back, feeling a touch of warmth.

"Let’s move the stuff first, it’s about to get light."

Song Yi’s words were commands, and everyone hurried to get busy.

The three kayaks were packed full, especially with those liquefied gas containers.

She guessed that they must have also gone to the flower market.

That must be the case, but everyone was too busy bustling around to talk.

From the seventh to the twentieth floor, those dozen or so flights of stairs were not easy to navigate.

Not only did they need to carry stuff, but they also had to be as quiet as possible, trying not to make any noise.

In this way, they also absolutely had to race against time; it was incredibly difficult.

Jhiang Yuan was assigned to unload supplies here, along with Ye Mianmian. The two of them took the items off the kayaks and placed them in the stairwell of the corridor.

They didn’t dare take too much, for fear that someone would come and compete with them for the goods.

"Mianmian, come over here first; I need to go put away the other kayaks."

"Got it!"

She went to put her own kayak away. The scope of these three connected was not small, and it would be very dangerous if someone came from behind.

Now that it was still dark, they didn’t dare to turn on the lights, especially outside, where they had to walk close to the edge, which was also very dangerous.

Thinking this, Jhiang Yuan undid the tarpaulin from the last kayak.

She moved the items inside to the front first and then put away the rest at the back.

In this way, the target would be smaller, and they would be safer.

When Ye Mianmian saw her bringing back two bags of things, she immediately understood her intentions.

"Sister Yuan, you take a break; I’ll go tidy up.

Later, you can explain things properly to uncle; I didn’t hide it."

She looked embarrassed as she was saying this when Jhiang Xingzhi also came down.

Seeing his daughter, his eyes seemed a bit red.

Jhiang Yuan quickly went up to him, pleasingly calling out, "Dad!"

"Hmm, are you all right?"

"I’m fine, totally fine!"

Seeing that his daughter really was alright, Jhiang Xingzhi also felt relieved and started moving things.

Jhiang Yuan and Ye Mianmian also began fiddling with things in front, and Song Yi brought Little One down, instructing it to guard the front.

The two of them could work a bit faster, and once finished, they could put away the third kayak.

This one belonged to Jhiang Yuan. Its colors and patterns were quite eye-catching, unlike Song Yi’s, which were mature and steady—all in black.

"Mianmian, let’s also take care of the stuff in the back."

"Okay!"

Ye Mianmian obediently followed Jhiang Yuan, and they cooperated quite tacitly.

The two of them worked much faster than the men moving stuff upstairs.

Soon, there was no more space in the front.

The second kayak still had half-load of stuff on it.

Jhiang Yuan left Ye Mianmian and Little One behind and also went to move things herself.

The next trip, Ye Mianmian would switch places, or if someone got tired, they could stay here and rest for a bit.

The three men were anxious and didn’t rest there.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, nobody dared to be careless.

By around 7:10, they finally got all the stuff moved, and she helped Song Yi put away the kayaks.

He looked at her somewhat sternly.

"Jhiang Yuan, don’t act alone next time."

"I was just worried about you guys, so I went out to check."

"Didn’t I say I’d come back safely? Don’t you trust me?"

The man’s eyes were half-closed, as if testing her.

Was this the authority of a superior, not allowing any defiance?

This bastard must have been a leader before, and now, even after retiring, he’s still putting pressure on her.

"It’s not that I don’t trust you; I’m genuinely worried. By the way, why did you guys only come back now?"
