New Order Plan

Chapter 77 4-person team

Lan Ying stared at the girl at the door for two seconds, then smiled warmly, her heart filled with joy.

She glanced at Jiang Qingshan, thinking to herself that the young lady had come to visit him while he was sick, and this brat was still saying that there was no progress!

It seems like things are starting to look promising, so my 30,000 United Coins weren't wasted.

Lan Ying was overjoyed and quickly welcomed Ye Wan'an and Shen Zhixing in, pouring them water and offering them fruit.

"Are you a new officer in the Detective Investigation Department? What's your name?"

Lan Ying smiled and looked Ye Wan'an up and down a few times, finding him somewhat unfamiliar.

She would occasionally go to the police station to deliver meals to the old man; she had met most of the children in the investigation department.

Ye Wan'an looked at Jiang Qingshan with a puzzled expression, then shook his head and said, "My name is..."

"Xiao An, your master's wife can just call him Xiao An. He's my good brother, a brother I've been through thick and thin with."

Jiang Qingshan immediately interrupted Ye Wan'an and gave him a look.

Although Ye Wan'an was puzzled, he still politely introduced himself in accordance with Jiang Qingshan's words.

However, he vaguely guessed Lan Ying's profession from her clothing and temperament, and after a little thought, he suddenly realized.

Lan Ying didn't think much of it. When she heard that Ye Wan'an worked at a coffee shop and said he would visit his business when he had time, she was surprised.

Afterward, she chatted with Shen Zhixing for a few moments, and finally took her hand with a look of relief, saying, "Being a detective is a high-risk job. You're such a brave and good girl to be with Qingshan!"

This sentence immediately plunged the ward into a deathly silence.

Ye Wan'an glanced at Jiang Qingshan and Shen Zhixing with a strange look in his eyes.

Xiao Tian, who was lying on the hospital bed pretending to be asleep, couldn't help but twitch twice, seemingly dreaming but actually trying to suppress a laugh.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Shen Zhixing realized what was going on. She smiled and said in a affected tone, "Officer Jiang is quite a capable person too."

Jiang Qingshan silently ate an orange, pretending to be very busy.

He wanted to explain, but then thought better of it.

Let the master's wife misunderstand; at least she won't have to nag about it every day anymore.

About ten minutes later.

Lan Ying glanced at her watch, then patted Shen Zhixing's hand with lingering affection, and instructed, "Come to our house for dinner with Qingshan another day."

She stood up, tidied the table, picked up her canvas bag, and said, "I have to go. I have to organize the students to rehearse for the program this afternoon; we'll be performing on stage for the United Day celebration."

"You've worked hard, Master's wife."

Jiang Qingshan was about to get up to see him off, but Lan Ying reached out and pressed him down.

"You brat, you better take good care of yourself. Alright, you guys chat, I'm just going to check on Big White and then I'll leave."

Lan Ying turned around and tucked the blanket around Xiao Tian, then muttered a few words to Jiang Qingshan before hurriedly leaving.

The door closed.

The room fell into a long silence as they stared at each other.

Shen Zhixing suppressed a faint smile and winked mischievously at Jiang Qingshan.

Jiang Qingshan looked helpless and asked suspiciously, "What's going on between you two?"

"A beautiful encounter."

Shen Zhixing brushed a stray strand of hair from her ear, her eyes sparkling, and sighed.

Ye Wan'an nodded silently, stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. The shop is very busy."

"etc."

Jiang Qingshan picked up an orange and threw it at Xiao Tian, saying irritably, "Stop pretending."

Xiao Tian suddenly sat up and grinned foolishly at the three of them.

Jiang Qingshan frowned, and after a moment's consideration, said in a deep voice, "I need to go to the disaster zone in a while, and I'll need some help."

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xiao Tian was the first to explode, throwing the cup away and jumping out of bed, saying resolutely, "No! I don't agree! It's too dangerous!"

"Of course I know."

"Even if you don't consider your own safety, you should at least think about me and Xiaoye!"

"So you two had better come with me."

"..."

Xiao Tian opened his mouth but remained silent, turning his gaze to Ye Wan'an.

Ye Wan'an pondered for a moment, then calmly asked, "How long will it take?"

"Fifteen days, I guess."

Jiang Qingshan thought for a moment. Qixia Lake is about 400 kilometers outside the quarantine zone. If there are no unexpected circumstances, half a month should be enough.

Ye Wan'an nodded and said, "I'm fine."

Although he didn't know what Jiang Qingshan was going to do, he was willing to accompany him.

This wasn't the first time he'd entered the disaster zone.

Xiao Tian was surprised that Ye Wan'an agreed so readily, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Jiang Qingshan shrugged, glancing at Xiao Tian with a half-smile, and said, "Two votes to one, your objection is invalid."

After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Shen Zhixing, who looked completely bewildered.

Shen Zhixing is a level two fire-type user, so it would be best if she could travel with him.

In a wilderness overrun by monsters, fire is indispensable.

Pioneer teams entering the disaster zone will generally ensure that there is at least one fire-type compatible member in the team.

"Me...me too?"

Shen Zhixing was caught off guard and a look of suspicion appeared on her face.

Jiang Qingshan looked Shen Zhixing into the eyes and said seriously, "You can refuse."

"Why?"

"Make money."

"..."

Shen Zhixing rolled her eyes slightly; such nonsense couldn't fool her.

Even if a detective is not well-off, he wouldn't go to a disaster zone to gamble his luck.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingshan said, "I won't let you go for nothing. I'll give you 30,000 as a reward for this trip. If you're lucky enough to find some treasure, we'll split the profits after we sell it."

Shen Zhixing was taken aback, a sly glint flashing in his eyes.

A reward of 30,000 is quite a lot.

For a level 2 fire-type user like her, the average pioneering team would offer around this price.

Moreover, the final harvest depends on each person's ability and will not be divided equally.

Hmm... this guy is actually that rich?

There must be something more important going on this trip.

Seeing that Shen Zhixing was interested, Jiang Qingshan didn't urge her and handed the half-eaten box of chicken soup he had left over to the sulking Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian immediately became happy, as if nothing had happened.

After a moment, Shen Zhixing asked curiously, "Where are we going?"

Qixia Lake.

"Oh~~~ Then I'll go with Officer Jiang."

"Then everyone go back and prepare. We'll set off in seven days."

Jiang Qingshan glanced around, and the four-person team was officially formed.

He silently swallowed a segment of orange; it tasted somewhat sour and astringent.

Shen Zhixing stood up, her ample bosom bulging as she extended her hand, and said with a grin, "The payment needs to be made first."

"I'll give this to you before I leave."

"Alright, Officer Jiang, take good care of yourself. See you in seven days."

Jiang Qingshan nodded and didn't say anything more.

After saying goodbye to Ye Wan'an, Shen Zhixing left together.
