205: The little golden sheep is really fat/the temperature is dropping
Mo Yanan walked up to Jiang Fei, then looked at Lu Yu and Xiao Chuxia beside him: "Can you give us some private space?"
The two returned to the hotel to wait for Jiang Fei.
"Miss Jiang Fei, the Base Leader has already agreed to assist the Safety Shelter. The medicines and supplies should be packed and loaded in about two to three days."
"I plan to depart for Yucheng to pick up the goods the day after tomorrow. Driving from Kyoto Base and back will take three or four days, so you definitely won't be able to make it back to meet Director Ning. That's why I came to ask for your thoughts."
"If you want to return to the Safety Shelter with Director Ning and his Comrades, then I'll tell the Base Leader to delay loading the goods for a few days."
"No need. Let them go first. The Safety Shelter urgently needs this batch of medicines and supplies."
Jiang Fei was a bit curious: "Your status in Kyoto Base is very high. You could easily send bodyguards to pick up your goods. Why do you insist on cooperating with me?"
Are you afraid of being robbed along the way?
But the Mo Family should have plenty of weapons, right?
"Those goods cannot be known by the people of the Base," Mo Yanan said softly.
"The Base is not as peaceful as you see it."
"The forces here are divided into two factions: the aristocratic families and the military. Everyone wants to contend for the highest power, including me."
"But the Base Leader intentionally controls the quantity of weapons each family possesses. Once he feels it poses a threat, he will confiscate them under various pretexts."
"The world is not peaceful. Only with guns and provisions in hand can I feel at ease."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fei found it amusing.
Once the natural disaster struck, what was power worth?
These people at the top were truly idle.
Suddenly, the young man's exquisite face magnified before her eyes.
"I hope Miss Jiang Fei will keep this matter confidential for me."
"We both know each other's secrets now; we're in the same boat."
The implied threat was obvious.
If Jiang Fei spoke out, he would expose her special ability.
Jiang Fei nodded in agreement, but in reality, she wasn't afraid of Mo Yanan.
Having taken the Loyalty Pill, he couldn't betray her for the rest of his life!
Mo Yanan knew she could retrieve things from thin air, so Jiang Fei openly took out a large box of jewelry and placed it on the ground.
"When you have time, help me sell them and exchange them all for gold bars for me."
It saved her from running back and forth.
"Also, You Chengyu from the You Family has been bothering me."
Jiang Fei told Mo Yanan everything You Chengyu had done.
A tool is meant to be used.
"I'll handle it," Mo Yanan's eyes darkened slightly.
That family was indeed annoying.
One always liked to compete with him, and the other tried every possible way to cling to him.
It was time for a good lesson.

Back at the hotel, Jiang Fei told Lu Yu and Xiao Chuxia about going to Yucheng.
The task of picking up goods was rephrased as escorting Mo Yanan.
"You can come with me, or you can go back to the Safety Shelter with Director Ning first."
"Director Ning and his Comrades will depart in three days."
Xiao Chuxia: "I'll accompany Miss to Yucheng."
"My marksmanship is much better than before, and I'm braver. I won't hold you back."
"If anything happens on the road, I'm a nurse, so I can help with treatment and bandaging."
Jiang Fei didn't object.
With Xiao Hua Lao by her side, she wouldn't have to worry about her.
Seeing Lu Yu looking distracted, Jiang Fei asked, "What's wrong?"
"I want to make a detour to Changhai to retrieve things from my home and check if the organization's location has changed."
Yucheng and Changhai are in the same province, about 400 kilometers apart.
The security of his home was no less than Su Liuyuan's secluded mountain villa.
Since Su Liuyuan's home was fine, his home should also be unaffected by the natural disaster.
"Then I'll tell Mo Yanan, and we'll make a trip to Changhai."
With that, Jiang Fei went to room 204 to find Director Ning and repeated the same explanation she gave to the other two.
Director Ning granted the three of them a long leave and instructed, "You all must be careful."
"Although Young Master Mo has helped the Safety Shelter a lot, don't risk your lives. If you encounter danger, run if you can."
Favors are not as important as one's own children.
"Oh, and Xu Qianyao and the Comrades asked me to thank you for buying them new clothes."
"Everyone hasn't worn such nice clothes in a long time, and they said they want to give you supplies."
Jiang Fei refused: "It's rare to come to Kyoto Base, so consider it a souvenir for them."
She would find another opportunity to fleece Mo Yanan.
This Xiao Jin Yang was truly plump!
Jiang Fei thought, then returned to room 201 to rest.
—
Late at night.
A sudden chill surged from her feet.
Jiang Fei, sleeping in bed, couldn't help but pull the quilt tighter.
The next second, her eyes snapped open.
The temperature had been 38℃, and she was used to the high temperature, so she usually only opened the window for ventilation.
She hadn't turned on the air conditioner, so why was there a chill?
There was no thermometer in the room, so Jiang Fei took one out of the Supermarket warehouse.
When she saw the thermometer display 19℃, she immediately sat up.
In her previous life, after the virus, the temperature plummeted to 15℃, and humanity experienced an unprecedented hailstorm.
The hail was large enough to flatten cars and break through some old houses.
She wondered if it would also arrive when the temperature reached 15℃ in this life.
The Base's buildings were sturdy, and the hotel's parking lot was indoors, able to withstand the onslaught of large hail.
But traveling far was definitely out of the question.
Tomorrow, she would have to find Mo Yanan to postpone the departure date... Knock knock knock—
A knock at the door interrupted Jiang Fei's thoughts.
"Miss, it's me."
Hearing Xiao Chuxia's voice, Jiang Fei got out of bed to open the door.
Xiao Chuxia had also woken up cold due to the drop in temperature.
Wrapped in a quilt, hugging a pillow, she looked at Jiang Fei with eager eyes.
"I'm a bit scared sleeping alone. Can I sleep with you tonight?"
She had said she was braver during the day, but now she was contradicting herself, making Xiao Chuxia a little embarrassed.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Jiang Fei's eyes as she stepped aside to let the poor girl in.
The next day, after waking up, she went downstairs to find Manager Qiu Qiu at the front desk and asked for Mo Yanan's address.
Knowing that Jiang Fei wanted to find Mo Yanan, Qiu Qiu took out a walkie-talkie.
"The temperature dropped by more than ten degrees overnight. Miss Jiang is prone to catching a cold if she goes out. If it's not something that absolutely requires a face-to-face discussion, you can contact Young Master Mo using the walkie-talkie."
Qiu Qiu thoughtfully helped Jiang Fei tune to Mo Yanan's channel.
Just as Jiang Fei was about to call, Xu Qianyao's shout came from behind her.
"Help open the door!"
The front desk staff immediately ran to open the door.
Xu Qianyao helped a weak Comrade walk in.
The Comrade's drooping arm was wrapped in thick gauze, with slight blood seeping through.
His exposed skin was covered in bruises from being beaten.
Xu Qianyao also had some injuries on his face.
Jiang Fei helped support the Comrade: "I'll take you to the Hospital."
"We just came back from there. A kind person helped us pay the contribution points for the medical treatment."
"Xiao Hai and I only have superficial injuries; we'll be fine in a few days."
At this point, Xu Qianyao was both angry and remorseful: "It's my fault for being too impulsive and implicating Xiao Hai."
"If I hadn't been so angry and punched You Chengyu, we wouldn't have been surrounded and beaten by his bodyguards."
Upon hearing that it was related to You Chengyu, Jiang Fei frowned: "What happened?"
"The temperature suddenly became abnormal, so Xiao Hai and I went out to scout the situation. Who knew we'd run into You Chengyu halfway."
"He accused us of stealing his things and demanded a body search. We originally didn't want to cause trouble and cooperated with them."
"But You Chengyu was relentless, demanding that we strip off all our clothes and return naked, and he said some nasty things. I couldn't stand it and punched him."
"You Chengyu brought many bodyguards. The two of us, without guns, were no match for them."
Jiang Fei gradually clenched her fists, her gaze icy.
Xu Qianyao and Xiao Hai had no grievances with You Chengyu, yet he actively sought trouble with them.
It was probably because she had sought out Mo Yanan yesterday.
Mo Yanan must have done something to You Chengyu.
You Chengyu didn't dare to come after her again, so he vented his revenge in this way.
This debt had to be settled.
"I will get you an explanation."
Xu Qianyao grabbed Jiang Fei, who was about to leave: "Don't be impulsive. The You Family has a significant background, and the supplies haven't been transported yet. We can't cause trouble at the Base."
It wasn't out of fear of the You Family, but rather fear that the batch of supplies for the Safety Shelter would be affected.
Otherwise, he would have returned to call the Comrades to take their guns and fight.
Jiang Fei broke free from Xu Qianyao's hand: "Don't worry, no one will know."
