Chapter 332: Swirling Currents

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go."

In the last car of the convoy, Hanna looked at the trees receding outside the window, unable to hide the joy on her face.

Hanna felt this was definitely the most correct and meaningful thing she had done in her life.

The journey was long, and Mo Jingchun, watching the scenery outside the window, soon felt eye strain and simply closed his eyes, leaning back to rest.

As for sleeping, he didn’t even consider it.

The two sisters beside him were chattering away endlessly, with particularly loud voices.

Unless he was really exhausted, there was no way to sleep.

"Calling Wolf Den, Calling Wolf Nest!"

"This is Wolf Nest, received, go ahead."

"The target has left the city."

"Received."

In the car, Hanna was holding her phone, fantasizing about the scene of returning home, when a stern voice suddenly startled her.

"Who did you send it to?"

Facing that sharp gaze, Hanna couldn’t help but swallow hard.

What a terrifying glance.

"N-nothing... such a big thing, I just informed the village chief."

"Given my family’s conditions, we really can’t entertain the boss and his family."

The dark wooden house didn’t even have a decent stove; the only thing presentable might be those old hens.

Hanna had just started working this year and sent money to her brother.

But Hanna knew that whatever money was left had surely been saved up.

Lone Wolf frowned, the fist of his bionic mechanical arm making a creaking sound.

If it weren’t for the fact that Hanna had already been investigated from above, Lone Wolf wouldn’t simply be frowning.

He took a deep breath.

Lone Wolf pressed on his earpiece and said:

"Captain, Captain, this is Lone Wolf."

A moment later, Wild Wolf’s calm voice came through the earphones.

"What’s going on?"

"There’s a small issue, Hanna, who’s sitting next to me, told our itinerary to her village chief."

Told the village chief? Wild Wolf frowned.

Now, it’s probably not just the village that knows.

County? City? Or has it been reported to the province already?

"Ask her when she told the village chief."

Lone Wolf looked at Hanna, and sternly asked:

"When did you inform your village chief?"

"L-last night..."

"Captain..."

"I already heard, I’ll report the situation to the boss."

Xia Xiaomin sat in the seat originally belonging to Feiyan, so Feiyan had to switch to another car.

Sitting in the front seat, Feiyan looked at Hanna, who was scared by Lone Wolf, and said:

"You shouldn’t have acted on your own initiative."

"Do you know that sometimes good intentions can cause bad results?"

"I..." Hanna wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.

Feiyan shook her head and sighed:

"We’ll have to see what mood the boss is in."

Next to them, Lone Wolf showed no sympathy.

Acting on your own initiative at a critical moment and not following orders, on an ever-changing battlefield, will only lead to the sacrifice of your comrades.

In the front seat, after listening to the call from Wild Wolf, Xia Xiaomin also frowned.

A pretty smart girl, how could she make such a basic mistake at this time?

"Boss."

Mo Jingchun opened one eye to look at Xia Xiaomin, "Is there a problem at the company?"

"No issues at the company."

"Oh, that’s good then."

Wait, if there’s no issue, why are you calling me?

Mo Jingchun opened his other eye, raised an eyebrow, "Just say it directly."

"Hanna informed the village of our itinerary."

What?

Noticing the tense atmosphere, Zhou Yaling signaled to the little one to stay quiet as well.

She didn’t want to be dragged into trouble by her brother later on.

Especially a big black pot!

Mo Jingchun patted his leg, falling into contemplation.

This trip to the Yi Ethnic Group, from the beginning, he never intended for too many people to know.

More precisely, he didn’t want any reporters, especially the self-media, to know.

After all, he went there to make a quiet fortune, exploiting system bugs to earn points.

Once everyone knows, some people will start conspiracy theories again.

Think about it, being the boss of a big enterprise and a researcher.

Instead of staying in the city doing R&D, you run to the mountains for charity work.

Let alone netizens, even he himself felt it was inexplicable and the priorities were reversed.

For fame?

Does Candy Technology need that embellishment? Not at all!

Spending time doing charity, it’s better to develop better products or lower the prices of existing ones.

He could already imagine, upon arrival at the destination, stepping out of the vehicle and facing a fleet of cameras targeting him.

He checked the time, already past eleven.

He didn’t respond to Xia Xiaomin but instead asked:

"How long until we reach the nearest service area? Let’s stop there for a meal."

Everyone has their urgent moments, and they hadn’t stopped after a few hours of driving. Mo Jingchun believed there must be someone needing to relieve themselves urgently.

Xia Xiaomin tapped a few times on her tablet and said, "It’s about a 16-minute drive to the next service area."

"Let’s go to that service area then."

The food at the service area is just so-so; as long as it fills the stomach, Mo Jingchun wasn’t expecting any gourmet experience.

"We’ll talk about other matters at the service area."

In the last vehicle, Hanna waited and waited, but the boss’s judgment never came.

The more it dragged on, the more nervous Hanna became until her palms were sweaty.

With a loud ’smack,’ Hanna gave herself a hard slap.

The sound was crisp and loud.

With the naked eye, a red handprint emerged on Hanna’s face.

Feiyan, glancing back, was bewildered at Hanna being so hard on herself.

Unfortunately, there’s no regret medicine in this world.

A few minutes later, the convoy entered the service area.

"Let’s get off."

After getting out, Hanna looked down and remained silent.

At the back of the convoy, an unassuming SUV also entered the station.

Strangely, no one got out of the SUV.

Wild Wolf glanced over quickly.

"Squad leader, I also want some rice."

"There are peanut-flavored compressed biscuits at the back, and plain ones too, take your pick."

"..."

After Mo Jingchun got out with the little one, he came over to Feiyan’s side.

Initially still smiling, Mo Jingchun’s smile faded upon seeing the red handprint on Hanna’s face.

The sides of her face seemed slightly asymmetric in comparison.

Mo Jingchun’s smile gradually disappeared, "What happened?"

"Did you hit her?"

Lone Wolf helplessly shrugged; with a slap from his bionic arm, it wouldn’t have been just a red face.

"Boss, she did it herself."

She hit herself? Mo Jingchun was a bit surprised.

Such a heavy slap, how could she bring herself to do that?

"I wasn’t even blaming you for anything, what are you scared of?"

Mo Jingchun shook his head, "Let’s everyone use the restroom; we can talk about it during lunch."

"Guoguo, go with your sister."

The little one sniffled, "Okay~"

After Feiyan took Hanna and left first, Mo Jingchun and the others went inside.
