The younger brother was very excited, thinking Xu Qian must be here to bring them warmth. The last time she visited, she brought quilts, so this time she should bring something useful too.
Li Ping strode out the door like the wind.
"Where is she?"
"Boss, I've let her in, she's just outside..."
"Shut up."
The younger brother obediently closed his mouth.
Li Ping stared fixedly at the white-clothed girl in front of him, feeling like a lifetime had passed.
He hadn't seen her for a long, long time.
Xu Qian's expression was calm as she nodded at him.
"Boss Li, long time no see."
Li Ping came back to his senses and coughed lightly.
"What are you here for?"
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down. He hadn't changed at all, and his perfume was still as strong.
"What do you think?"
She had been assaulted by the smell all the way here.
Around them were men and women in near states of undress, standing by and watching with curiosity.
Most of them recognized Xu Qian and looked excited, thinking she must be here to help them!
They all knew Xu Qian was wanted, and their boss had given a strict order not to let them go after her.
Everyone had some respect for Xu Qian. Even if their boss hadn't said anything, they wouldn't have tried to capture her.
Of course, those who did were driven away by their boss.
Li Ping lowered his eyes and smiled, a rare genuine smile appearing on his face.
"Fei Teng Base now has 5,150 people."
Xu Qian closed her eyes and waved her hand, and white ice blocks appeared all over the ground, emitting a cool aura.
"5,260 blocks of ice, everyone take one."
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to take one first.
Li Ping waved his hand and said, "Line up and take them one by one."
The crowd was teary-eyed. Everyone who received an ice block thanked Xu Qian, calling her a living bodhisattva, kind and benevolent.
Some burly men swore they would go through fire and water for her, and that they would leave with her.
Li Ping sent them all away one by one.
While they were distributing the ice, Xu Qian said, "Boss Li, can I speak to you privately?"
Li Ping bent down and picked up an ice block, saying in a low voice, "Let's talk inside."
The ice was placed in the office, and soon the heat dissipated a lot, at least it wasn't hot enough to make their feet jump.
The three of them walked into the office. Xu Qian didn't sit down. She directly took out a watch that had been sealed in her spatial storage and placed it on the desk.
"Here, it's yours."
Li Ping was stunned, not expecting that the first thing she wanted to talk about was the watch.
He had almost forgotten about it.
He leaned against the desk, picked up the watch, and gently rubbed it. He said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to still remember this."
"This watch was given to me by a deceased friend. The contents inside are very important. I felt it wasn't safe to carry it with me."
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Deceased friend? Who was it?"
The system hadn't indicated at the time that the contents were important information.
Li Ping sighed and said, "He's already dead. He said that one day, someone would definitely look for this watch, and asked me to keep it safe."
[System, is this watch important?]
[Ding, it was important before, but it's not important now, because we already know the secrets of Yu Shi and X Group.]
Xu Qian was slightly relieved. She disliked holding things for others; it always gave her a sense of obligation, as if she had to constantly remember to return it.
Now, she felt light as a feather.
"Then take good care of it. I'm leaving."
With that, Xu Qian turned and left without hesitation.
"Who is he?"
Li Ping tilted his chin slightly, turning his head to the side.
That man had been standing beside her without speaking, like a puppet.
"Teammate."
Li Ping smiled, "I thought you had a new boyfriend. Doesn't Mei Yue Bai love you very much? And you also..."
