Chapter 226 Play

Meng Dong knew of this group's existence, so he left his mark on many of the larger buildings in the town, intending to keep those people around for fun.

Of course, while having some fun, they also clashed with those people a few times. Only two of them suffered minor injuries, making it the easiest mission for them.

The main reason Meng Dong was to lure them away was so that He Caiwei's people could take those things away.

Once they felt they had made their way back, they set off to return home.

The moment Meng Dong stepped into the country, he immediately looked at He Caiwei nervously and asked if those things had been brought back.

"Don't worry, when we get back to Kyoto, those things will be sent directly to the warehouse there. I'll tell you then, and you can go and see them."

He Caiwei's words put Meng Dong's mind at ease. He had been on tenterhooks these past few days, thinking it would be impossible to move so much stuff all at once. He never expected that this young girl was so capable.

The little girl only said this one sentence, and he felt at ease retrieving his car on this side of the border, then drove back with his team.

When they returned to Kyoto, the uncle took He Caiwei to his warehouse. The next day, Meng Dong went to the warehouse to check the items according to the list and found that nothing was missing and everything was intact without any damage.

The day after He Caiwei put her things down, she cooked lunch for her uncle and aunt and then left.

She drove herself because she really couldn't get used to the toilets on the train. She had to stay on the train for four days and three nights, and it was impossible not to go to the toilet, so she had to drive herself.

Besides, it's almost the end of the month, which is when she has the most work, so she has to go back quickly.

However, this time she was alone and had more time to return to her space, so she drove during the day and went back to her space at night to wash up and rest. She also took advantage of the time difference to plant all the fields in her space.

When she returned home, the crops in her space had already grown several times, and the warehouse was full of grain. Looking at the overflowing grain, she felt at ease.

Instead of driving the car to her doorstep, she put it back in her storage space in a sparsely populated suburb. Then, it took her another 15 minutes to reach the nearest bus stop. By then, it was probably the textile factory's closing time, and she wondered if her brother would have to work overtime.

"Mom, I'm home..."

Lu Zhiheng was surprised that Caiwei could return so quickly. After all, he had heard from his nephew that the round trip abroad, plus the time spent on the mission, would take quite a while, so he had prepared for a return of about two months.

It hadn't even been a month yet, and his daughter had already come back. He hurriedly pulled her back to his study, intending to ask her if she had completed her mission or not; he was a little worried.

"Dad, why are you being so cautious..."

"Daughter, did you complete your mission this time or not? Why are you back so soon? I heard from your brother that you were going abroad, and the journey alone would take more than a month. Did you fight with those people on the mission? Were you injured...?"

“We’re here, we’re here. Actually, driving is much faster than taking the train. This time, Old Meng drove us to the mission, which is why we got here so quickly. Dad knows I have a place to store those things. We even spent several days there with those people before coming back. Don’t worry, Dad, I’ve already put everything in Uncle’s warehouse. Dad, aren’t you underestimating me? My fighting skills are so good that I could hurt myself?” He Caiwei knew her father was worried about the mission not being completed and about her health, so she stood on tiptoe and gently patted her father’s shoulder to reassure him.

Lu Zhiheng looked at the look in his daughter's eyes that seemed to say, "You don't believe me at all?" and burst out laughing.

He believed his daughter was exceptionally strong, but what father wouldn't worry about her safety when she was out and about? Especially since missions to the Fierce Tiger Battalion were usually very dangerous. He had been there himself and knew the inside story. That's why he didn't want his daughter to go there—it was just too dangerous. If she wasn't careful, she could be smothered with the national flag.

"Okay, okay, my daughter is the best. Come on, let's go out to eat first. What kind of car did you take back? Why didn't you call first?"

“Your uncle called the day before yesterday to say you were back. I thought you would need two more days by train. At your speed, you must have driven back…” Lu Zhiheng remembered that his older brother had called the day before yesterday at noon to say that his daughter had cooked for them and was keeping the food warm in the pot before returning to Pengcheng.

Tell him to keep track of the time and pick her up at the train station.

Based on the bus schedule and estimated arrival time he found, he planned to go directly to the train station to wait when it was almost time. However, his daughter had already arrived home two days before the train arrived.

“Yes, driving is faster, and I really can’t stand the smell of the toilets on the train. Every time I go to the toilet on the train, it’s like I’m dying. To avoid torturing myself, I’ll just have to endure the hardship.” He Caiwei couldn’t imagine such a scene because it would make her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Alright, alright, let's eat first..."

"Okay, Dad, where's my brother?" He Caiwei hadn't seen her brother since she came in; he was probably working overtime tonight.

“We need to test the machine, so we have to work overtime tonight. It seems like we won’t be back until after nine o’clock. You eat first. Qinglang went to deliver food to your brother. Qingyue joined the cultural troupe. Didn’t you see her when you went to the compound this time…” After her father’s reminder, He Caiwei realized that she hadn’t seen her sister on her trip back to the compound.

"Has Qingyue graduated from university? When did she join the performing arts troupe? How come I didn't know?" He Caiwei knew that her father and uncle would call each other in advance to inform them of any important events in the family, since they both worked in places where they could make phone calls.

Why didn't anyone tell her that her younger sister had joined the performing arts troupe?

Lu Zhiheng was also somewhat annoyed by his forgetfulness. The last time, his daughter and the others left in a hurry, and by the time his older brother called, they had already gotten on the bus.

Finally, because of this urgent mission, the father and daughter couldn't get through on the phone. They could only explain: "The day before you went to deliver the things last time, he went to the cultural troupe for an interview. After passing the interview, he stayed there. Your aunt didn't go with him because she was waiting for you. Actually, your aunt was afraid that people would say that Qingyue was so easily accepted because of her connections."

"You should know that your uncle and aunt are not the kind of people who like to use connections, and they are even unwilling to use their power to pressure or trip up others. Now that things are in chaos over there, it's even less likely that they will, so as not to let those people use these small handles to attack your uncle and aunt."
