Chapter 134: Being Qin Kaize’s Subordinate Was Truly Dangerous

"Zhu Zirui already arranged for someone to help clean it a couple of days ago. It cost 75 yuan, including utilities, stairs, newspaper on the walls, and painting the floors. Sister-in-law, you can rest assured; we’ll get everything done properly," Gao Huabin grinned, looking cheerful.

"Thank you so much. Without all of you, I’d be in a real mess," Su Yijia said, sincerely. She wasn’t just being polite. If it weren’t for Kaize’s three friends, she would definitely be struggling right now. For the past 20 days, she had to keep her fake parents under control, investigate her own background, and send these people to jail. In the midst of all this, she had to complete tasks, make money, and handle the chaos from Su’s family before their imprisonment. It felt like she was trying to squeeze 72 hours into a single day.

After eating dinner, she managed to massage Kaize’s body, but she was so exhausted that she nearly fell asleep in the bathtub. She had to muster all her strength to get to bed, feeling like she might pass out any moment. Kaize looked at her with deep affection in his eyes, combined with a strong sense of disgust for the Su, Lin, and Qin families.

When Su Yijia reached the point of total exhaustion, she slept deeply. She woke up before 7 AM the next day, stretched lazily, and lifted Kaize into his wheelchair. As soon as they went out into the yard, Zhu Zirui arrived, saying, "Sister-in-law, they’re all at the State-Owned Restaurant. They’ll finish their meals and then go to various units to complete the procedures."

"Alright, I’ll feed Kaize some congee first," Su Yijia replied.

However, when she looked down at Kaize, he blinked and said, "I’ll join them and wait. Chat."

"Alright. But I still need to feed you first. The congee at the State-Owned Restaurant isn’t soft enough for you," Su Yijia explained before pushing Kaize to the bathroom to freshen up.

After finishing his congee, Zhu Zirui and Gao Huabin helped Kaize change into fresh clothes. They also locked the doors and windows of their room before heading out together. Although they had brought their families with them, the critical part was that the person who had to go to work was present. So, the twelve people sit around two tables and reserved a space for Su Yijia.

However, when they saw her pushing Kaize into the hall, everyone seemed to forget about their work matters. They stood up with red eyes and gathered around Kaize.

"Boss, are you alright?"

"Boss! You... sniff..."

Their emotions were overwhelming, and it appeared that they all came from the same unit. Su Yijia couldn’t blend into this atmosphere, and she quietly had Gao Huabin push Kaize’s wheelchair as she moved out of the crowd.

Fortunately, they were only emotional for a while. Su Yijia had just finished eating two steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk. She looked at the people who had taken their seats and spoke up.

"Have you all been assigned work yet?"

"Not yet, so we’re waiting for your arrangements," Zhu Zirui answered for them.

"What arrangements can I make? How about drawing lots?" Su Yijia suggested.

They readily agreed. In fact, they had thought of this solution long ago but wanted to show her some respect. After all, even as former four-level workers, they could afford to buy the jobs they wanted. They were all veterans with disabilities, and the government would certainly treat them well. While the job assignments weren’t made promptly, the transition payments would be substantial.

"Are these all members of Kaize’s unit?" Su Yijia asked curiously during a lull in their discussion, glancing at Gao Huabin beside her.

Gao Huabin nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! These are all the top-notch subordinates our boss brought with him. If it weren’t for health reasons, they wouldn’t have transitioned out so soon."

"Kaize’s unit is so dangerous? He’s only been in the service for eight years, and including you and Zhu, that’s 14 people changing to other jobs already." Su Yijia furrowed her brow, struggling to believe such a high transition rate. If everyone was trained the way Qin Kaize did, wouldn’t they need to cultivate as many talents as they lost?

Gao Huabin was momentarily stunned, taking a while to understand the implications of Su Yijia’s words. "Sister-in-law, it’s not like that! Our boss led an elite group within the elite, and it’s because of this that we were often sent on extremely difficult and dangerous missions."

As he explained, he appeared somewhat proud. In the end, he felt that their unit’s contributions were exceptional.

Su Yijia’s heart ached more as she looked at the people before her. Although she knew Qin Kaize was a great hero, seeing so many people who sacrificed so much for the well-being of ordinary citizens made her feel even more moved and pained.

"By the way, the ointment you gave me last time, can you provide some for them? After using it for a while, I feel much less discomfort every day, to the point where I hardly feel anything at all. The ones who came this time, like me, have only injured their bones, and they can still walk and perform regular tasks. If they could use this ointment too, they’d surely benefit," Gao Huabin pleaded, looking at Su Yijia with expectant eyes.

"Alright, I’ll make some for you," Su Yijia promptly agreed.

"I’ll make sure they pay for it," Gao Huabin said, thinking about how their comrades, one by one, were gradually recovering, with happy eyes almost squinted into fine slits.

When Su Yijia heard his words, she looked at him disdainfully. "What nonsense are you talking? You’re all Kaize’s former subordinates. I couldn’t possibly charge you for such a small amount of money."

"But even between brothers, we should settle accounts clearly," Gao Huabin said. He knew that these products were not only expensive, but making them was also quite challenging, so he didn’t dare to take advantage of this opportunity.

Su Yijia waved her hand, not overly concerned. "It’s okay; consider it a welcome gift for them. After all, you didn’t call me sister-in-law for nothing."

She needed to buy more medicine anyway. Not only did these people need treatment, but the members of the Xu family also needed the ointments and medicines that could help repair their bodies. However, the most important task on her mind was to use the money she had now to produce the Great Strength Pills as soon as possible. These pills, although expensive, were critical for keeping herself save. Only by staying alive could she ensure that Qin Kaize could also stay alive.

As for these medicines, she didn’t plan on making money from them, since she had already handed the formula over to the state. She couldn’t justify seeking honor and profiting from them again.

Su Yijia helped them complete the paperwork, and at lunchtime, they all had a meal together at the State-Owned Restaurant. In the evening, she called all their family members to Qin’s house and borrowed four large tables from the neighbors. They set up a small welcome feast for everyone.
