Lin Qiao came out of the car and guided Duan Juan, Qiu Lili, and the others into the lobby. At that moment, Lin Feng and the others were just coming downstairs.
“A!” Seeing Qian Xiaoai, Lin Feng popped his eyes and called his nickname with surprise.
“Captain! Deputy Chief!” Qian Xiaoai was excited to see Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing as well.
“Eh? Isn’t this Duan Juan?” Yuan Tianxing looked at Duan Juan and remarked.
“Em, it’s me! Long time no see, Deputy Chief!” Duan Juan smilingly nodded at Yuan Tianxing. She acted calmly, but her eyes still showed with slight excitement.
“Oh, Yuan Tianxing, send someone to accommodate those people outside. Those are the survivors from the Hades Base. Find a building near the hotel for them to live in, and register their names. As for their jobs, we’ll make the arrangements tomorrow morning. Now, all the administrators of Hades Base come upstairs to the conference room with me.” After giving Yuan Tianxing the instructions, Lin Qiao turned to say to the others in the lobby, then went up to the second floor.
Duan Juan and Qian Xiaoai followed behind her. While walking, they turned and waved at Li Zheng and the others, signaling them to follow up.
Li Zheng, Lin Hao, and the others were still a little stunned, as they didn’t expect to see their old friends here. Seeing them waving their hands, they finally came back to their senses.
Yuan Tianxing immediately summoned Du Yuanxing and ordered him to take a few people outside to arrange accommodations for those newcomers. Du Yuanxing had been handling this kind of thing since the beginning.
After that, he prepared to send Lin Hao to deal with those vehicles.
At that moment, Lin Qiao suddenly stopped walking, “Send someone else to take care of those cars. Let Lin Hao stay.”
After that, she turned to Lin Hao and said to him, “Lin Hao, go and invite your mother, Lin Wenwen, Long Qingying, and your sister-in-law all to the conference room. I have something important to tell you today.”
Lin Hao and Yuan Tianxing glanced at each other. They both felt that the atmosphere had suddenly become tense, as if something big was going to happen soon.
He nodded, then turned and ran upstairs. Mrs. Lin, Lin Wenwen, and the others were all upstairs at that time.
Lin Feng said, “Let Du find somewhere for those people to rest. The rest of us will all go to the conference room now.”
Lin Qiao nodded, then turned and went up to the second floor with Duan Juan, Qiu Lili, and the others, heading toward the conference room.
Chen Yuting stood aside and asked confusedly, “Eh… should I come with you guys? She only asked the people from Hades Base to go.”
“You go and help Du to arrange accommodations for those people out there. I guess she’s going to say something about the South. It has nothing to do with you,” Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder and said. He felt that Lin Qiao must have found something important in the South, or she wouldn’t summon all those people to the conference room. Seeing those people out there, as well as Duan Juan, Qian Xiaoai and the others, he already had a hunch about that.
In the conference room, Lin Qiao didn’t sit down, but entered her space first. Meanwhile, the others stood on both sides of the conference table. Among them, only Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng dared to take seats.
The other people stood behind them, looking at the empty seat of honor.
Almost everybody was wearing a confused look. Only Duan Juan and a few others who just came back with Lin Qiao seemed to know something.
“What’s going on?” Li Zheng moved to Duan Juan’s side and whispered to ask her. Li Zheng and Duan Juan were at about the same level back in Hades Base. One of them was the leader of the scout team and the other was the leader of Lin Qiao’s bodyguard squad.
“You’ll know in a minute. Stop talking, quiet!” Duan Juan responded with a low voice.
Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing made an eye-contact with each other, then glanced at the other people. Yuan Tianxing was rather relaxed. He looked at Qian Xiaoai and asked, “What’s going on?”
Qian Xiaoai glanced at Duan Juan. Thinking about Lin Qiao’s real identity and the situation of Hades Base, he replied with a complicated expression, “Eh… it’s a little complicated. Just wait for Boss to tell you herself.”
“Who’s Boss? A, don’t forget to report what happened near the cliff to me later on,” Lin Feng gave him a glance with confusion and then said.
“Ah… I don’t think that’ll be necessary,” Qian Xiaoai scratched his head and said helplessly.
“What do you mean?” Lin Feng looked at him bewilderedly.
“Oh my! Why are you here!” At that moment, Du Yuanxing showed up; he was shocked to see Duan Juan.
Chen Yuting had gone outside to arrange accommodations for those people, and told Du Yuanxing to come back for the meeting. He figured that the latter was also from Hades Base, so he should be here as well.
The seat of honor was empty, but no one dared to take it. After all, the two powerful beings—Qiu Lili and Yun Meng—were there. Clearly, they were saving that seat for their boss.
After coming in, the people on the scene immediately felt that the dominant right of this room was taken by Lin Qiao. What confused them was that she summoned everybody here, but then entered her space. No one knew what she was going to do.
Yuan Tianxing pointed at the empty seats by the table and said to Duan Juan, Qian Xiaoai, and Li Zheng, “You guys sit down as well.”
The conference table was long, and five or six people could sit on one side of it together. Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng were sitting side by side, so as Li Zheng and the other two sat down, that side of the table was filled up.
Meanwhile, Du Yuanxing silently found himself a stool and sat behind them.
Except for them, Lin Yu, Feng Yuming, and the others from Li Zheng’s squad; Li Hongsheng, who came with Duan Juan; and Lu Junjie and the others, who came with Lin Feng, were all standing in the empty area behind the ones who had sat down.
They automatically lined up according to their power levels. At the same time, Lu Junjie and a few others who didn’t have superpowers quietly moved to a corner.
“There must be something important! Otherwise, why would she summon all of us here?” said Lin Feng.
At that point, Lin Hao came in with Mrs. Lin, Lin Wenwen, Long Qingying, and Cheng Wangxue.
“Oh, what’s going on here? Why are so many people here?” Seeing the roomful of people, the group of ladies was stunned a little as well.
Also, why were they all crowding on one side of the table and leaving the other side empty? What were they doing?
After bringing them in, Lin Hao looked around the room. He didn’t know where those ladies should sit, so he turned to Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing.
“Mom, come here and sit down,” Lin Feng stood up and walked to the other side of the table, pulling out a chair for Mrs. Lin.
“I heard that… Miss. Lu is back. Where is she?” Mrs. Lin asked eagerly. While speaking, she glanced at Qiu Lili. She knew that Qiu Lili went to the South with Lin Qiao.
“I’m here.” At that moment, Lin Qiao showed up. She pointed at the rest of the empty seats and said to Lin Wenwen and the others, “You, come and sit here.”
Seeing Lin Qiao, all the people on the scene froze in shock.
