Minister Li was very generous, preparing gasoline enough to fill the tank of an SUV to its maximum capacity, even leaving a bit extra.

“Our base doesn’t have a vast reserve of gasoline, that’s all we could manage to spare, I hope the commanders understand,” the staff member explained before leaving, hinting at some hardships.

“No, not at all, we are very grateful for Liancheng Base’s help, this is much better than we expected,” Lin Cheng, though curious about why they spoke in such a manner, expressed his gratitude to the staff repeatedly.

However, the staff member’s parting words did give an impression that there might be more to their actions, leaving Lin Cheng puzzled and unable to guess what the staff member’s true intentions were.

“Is everything delivered?” The lead staff member, having dismissed his subordinates to rest, prowled around until he reached an unobtrusive little house.

Upon entering, he was immediately questioned by someone inside.

If the Gu Family trio and the 532 squad were here, they would recognize the voice as that of Minister Li.

“Yes, Minister.”

“How did they react?”

“Nothing unusual, they kept thanking me.”

The two men exchanged questions and answers, and upon hearing that Chu Guodong and his team showed no particular reaction, Minister Li let the staff recount the entire delivery process one more time before allowing him to leave.

“Mayor, it seems like they won’t suspect anything,” the staff member left, and now only Minister Li was left in the room, who suddenly spoke.

“That seems to be the case, but let them still be cautious; Chu Guodong is not easily fooled.” The room was quiet, followed by another voice.

It was invisible but unmistakably masculine and sounded to be around forty years old.

Given Minister Li’s address, it wasn’t hard to deduce that this was likely the former mayor of Lian City, now responsible for Liancheng Base.

Still, there were secrets about Liancheng Base that they were being very cautious about revealing.

Back in the villa, the group gathered around the dinner table.

Someone, food in their mouth, mumbled sentimentally,

“Minister Li is really nice, so generous.”

Everyone agreed, nodding, “Yes, yes, and so considerate.

I thought we’d have to make do with steamed buns tonight too.”

Minister Li had provided a lavish dinner of 9 dishes and a soup, well-balanced with both vegetables and meat, served alongside perfectly cooked Northeastern rice.

Ever since entering City C on their mission, the 532 squad hadn’t enjoyed such a rich meal, mostly subsisting on steamed buns, compressed biscuits, and hot water, except when Gu Yanzhi would bring extra food for his brother and share it with everyone.

This was also why the 532 squad was not only unbothered by Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao joining them on the road but quite welcomed it.

After a satisfying dinner, everyone belched contentedly, sitting around the table, looking at each other and sharing a laugh without any taunts, happily bribed by the good food.

After finishing the meal, they quickly assigned rooms and then retired to rest.

Gu Yanzhi, having mobility issues, chose a room on the first floor for easy accessibility, with the Gu Family trio’s rooms being next to one another.

The others paired up, opting for rooms on the second and third floors.

The villa was well-prepared and clean, ready for living.

Before heading back to his room, Gu Yanzhi, although feeling that Minister Li and the staff had been overly enthusiastic and generous, didn’t think too much of it, attributing it to their customs.

Before returning [], Song Zhao didn’t forget to apply medicine to Gu Yanlin’s hands and body and also delivered ointments and clean bandages to the 532 squad’s rooms upstairs.

They had sustained numerous injuries during previous rescue operations, and while Gu Yanlin managed to ride in the car and rest, the others had to take turns driving despite their injuries.

At dinner, Song Zhao had noticed that several members’ wounds seemed to have reopened, with blood seeping through.

After these tasks, Song Zhao then pushed Gu Yanzhi back to their room to rest.

Being away from home, it wasn’t convenient to shower, so they cleaned up briefly with water from the space.

Before bed as usual, Song Zhao changed the dressing on Gu Yanzhi’s leg and gave him a leg massage before they cuddled together in bed.

Song Zhao, after a day of stressful driving, relaxed the moment he hit the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

While Gu Yanzhi had napped in the car all day and wasn’t particularly sleepy, he carefully adjusted around his injured leg and in the darkness traced the contours of his beloved’s face.

His thoughts dwelled on the events of the day, feeling that aside from the ostentatiousness and enthusiasm of the people at Liancheng Base, there wasn’t much else noteworthy.

Thinking so, Gu Yanzhi too fell asleep after a while.

He slept dreamlessly through the night.

“Morning, slept great, villas really are the best.”

“Morning, indeed.

When I retire, I’ll try to save up for a villa too.”

“Time to eat, let’s go grab breakfast.”

The next morning, just after 6 a.m., everyone gathered in the living room, and after confirming everyone was present, headed out for breakfast as Minister Li had directed the previous day.

He had emphasized that breakfast would be served from 5 a.m.

to 8 a.m.

and reminded them not to be late.
