Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse Chapter 492

Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Selling Medicinal Herbs Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Selling Medicinal Herbs If Lu Hao and Su Jin were only aware of the notorious deeds of the E city research institute, Pei Yuan and his group certainly knew more.

And it was very likely that Liang Jiuhui didn't know the inside story about Lian Ze, so approaching Pei Yuan first and then having him inform Liang Jiuhui seemed to be the simplest method.

Su Jin nodded, then lowered her voice to Rong Yuan and said, “In any case, if you hear him utter such words again, hit him for every instance, and don't hold back, understand?”

“Understood!”

Rong Yuan nodded emphatically, his hand was certainly not soft.

Before Su Jin and Lu Hao returned to the hospital, they cast a few more glances at Lian Ze, who was assembling something at the entrance.

At this moment, Lian Ze's hair had become a tangled mess reminiscent of a bird's nest, his clothes seemed unwashed for many days, and his nose was dripping with snot. Perhaps because he found the snot bothersome, he used the back of his hand to wipe it off his face, instantly smearing a streak of black engine oil across his right cheek.

Su Jin didn't know what to say. Could this Lian Ze really be the director of that research institute in E city?

Yet, Moli stepped in front of Lian Ze with a wary stance. Why was this woman staring at Lian Ze continuously? Could it be that she had taken a liking to him and was plotting something against him?

It had to be said that when a woman truly admires someone from the bottom of her heart, no matter how destitute and shabby the person seems, she would always view him through a beautifying filter.

Su Jin, of course, was unaware of Moli's thoughts at the time, gave one last look to the diligently occupied Lian Ze, and walked away with Lu Hao.

“I think he might be here to find Lian Jiyue,”
Lu Hao said.

“How could that be possible, how would he know Lian Jiyue is here?!”

Su Jin and Lu Hao discussed as they walked.

“I also don't know, but if his purpose for coming here was to find someone, it's very likely that he's looking for Lian Jiyue,”
As Lu Hao spoke, the two had already reached the Base Hospital.

The two were surprised to find that Liang Jiuhui was also in the director's office at that time.

“Long time no see,”
Liang Jiuhui smiled.

The Base Leader is free now?

Su Jin couldn't help but think so, but considering that Liang Jiuhui was actually the largest shareholder in the Base Hospital, his presence there was normal.

Indeed, Liang Jiuhui had heard that Su Jin and Lu Hao had come to the Base Hospital and were planning to sell a batch of medicinal materials, which was why he had cleared his schedule to come here.

After all, nearly a month had passed without seeing them, and he couldn't afford to be too aloof, he needed to maintain contact with the strongest team on the base at all times.

“It so happens we were looking for you for some business,”
Lu Hao responded without a hint of unfamiliarity.

Liang Jiuhui paused for a moment and then laughed, “Is that so? It's rare for you to need something from me, tell me, what's the good news?”

“Before that, let's settle the payment for the goods here,”
Lu Hao indicated the medicinal materials that had already been completely unpacked and checked.

Xu Mingzhi held back a laugh, witnessing Liang Jiuhui being so tightly pressured by someone was a first for him.

Liang Jiuhui sighed and gestured for Sheng Jing behind him to reveal the results they had just calculated.

“There is a total of 650 jin of medicinal materials here, and the hospital is purchasing them at the rate of 50 Crystal Cores per jin, making it a total of 32,500 Crystal Cores. Do you find this price satisfactory?”

Sheng Jing said.

Su Jin nodded and replied, “That's acceptable. In a few days, once I've reorganized my space, I should have another batch ready to bring over.”

“Really, Su Jin? That's great, we'll be waiting for your supplies then,”
Xu Mingzhi said happily that they had just checked, and all these medicinal ingredients were top-notch, with excellent quality. Additionally, several other old traditional Chinese medicine practitioners also praised the good stuff.

Seeing that the two agreed to the price, Sheng Jing excused himself to prepare the Crystal Core, while Xu Mingzhi also started to arrange for the hospital staff to come and move the medicinal ingredients.

Liang Jiuhui called the two men to sit down in a private office within the director's office.

“Can you now tell me what the matter is?” Liang Jiuhui asked.

Lu Hao glanced at Su Jin before asking, “A few days ago, didn't the security team arrest two people who damaged the walls of the housing management center?”

“Yes, those two people came from E city. But Captain Ye mentioned that one of them seemed capable of making weapons, so I thought I'd observe a little longer,” Jiuhui said. “As you know, we're in need of people at the base right now. Do you know them?”

When Liang Jiuhui heard it was about this matter, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought they were talking about some significant issue.

“We initially wanted to find Dr. Pei first before talking to you about this,”
Su Jin said, realizing that Liang Jiuhui genuinely didn't know Lian Ze's identity.

“What does this have to do with Dr. Pei?”

After saying this, Liang Jiuhui realized something.

E city, Dr. Pei… Could it be someone from E city's research institute?

“He is the director of E city's Weapon Research Institute, Lian Ze,”
Lu Hao said expressionlessly.

If Liang Jiuhui had thought the matter was trivial just now, now he truly felt it was a terrible turn of events.

The director of E city's Weapon Research Institute infiltrated their base?

Was there some unspeakable secret involved?

Could it actually be that he came as a spy?

For a moment, Base Leader Liang Jiuhui's inner conspiracy theories started to go through various iterations again…

“This person is somewhat strange. We don't understand him either, so having Dr. Pei come over to explain might be better,”
Lu Hao said.

Yes, yes, Dr. Pei, Liang Jiuhui promptly remembered.

“Dr. Pei should be at the Weapon Research Institute right now. Why don't you come with me?”

Liang Jiuhui asked.

Although he wanted someone to bring Dr. Pei over, he knew that Dr. Pei and his colleagues were busy from dawn to dusk every day, sometimes even forgetting to eat, so he always went to visit them in person.

Su Jin and Lu Hao had no objections. Although the Weapon Research Institute was located at the farthest corner of the base, it didn't take much time as Liang Jiuhui had come by car.

Dr. Pei was also very surprised to learn that Lian Ze had arrived at the base. However, when he found out that Lian Ze was accompanied only by a woman named Moli, he wasn't worried at all.

“This Lian Ze, half genius, half fool,”
Dr. Pei commented.

Recalling Lian Ze's behavior during their two encounters, Su Jin suddenly felt that Dr. Pei's assessment was spot on.

Dr. Pei also called over Ren Yingjie, Tan Yiran, and Fang Zhengyang.

They had also interacted with Lian Ze while at the E city research institute. If Liang Jiuhui wanted to understand more, Dr. Pei felt it was more objective and fair for the four of them to speak together.

After all, he felt Lian Ze couldn't be simply described as good or bad.

Especially after learning about the dire financial straits of Lian Ze and Moli, everyone unanimously agreed that there was nothing to be worried about.
