MTLNOVEL Chapter 584: Taking Revenge
She had to deal with the water pump and the toxic water filling the water tank. She needed to pump out all the water and remove it from the water tank. With the water sitting in there for so long and the water pump working to pull the water from the ground to the tank, the water was destined to turn toxic. She couldn't use that water. First, they needed to remove the water pump before dealing with the water.
"What are you thinking, Boss Bai?" Xiao Wu saw Bai Meiyue standing in the garden while looking at the water tank, and turned to look at her with a hint of confusion in his eyes. What was Bai Meiyue doing, looking at the water tank in the middle of the garden?
"I am thinking of filling the water tank," replied Bai Meiyue. She turned to look at the man with her hands behind her back and said to him, "The number of people in our team has increased. We can no longer continue the old vat-to-vat transfer. If we do that, it will waste not only mine but their time as well. It is better to fill that big water tank, and then connect it with a new pump. That will connect to the main pipeline of this town."
"But where will we get a water pump that will be powerful enough to turn the water around in the water tank and then to the pipelines?" Xiao Wu was genuinely confused.
"I have it," Bai Meiyue thought of her barter system and lied through her teeth. Anyway, it couldn't be said that she was lying, after all; with the barter system, did she really need to worry about anything?
When Xiao Wu heard Bai Meiyue's response, he instinctively believed her because he had never seen Bai Meiyue promise something and then fail to do it.
He pursed his lips and then said to Bai Meiyue, "Then I will take you there, Boss. Let me just ask Master Lei—"
"I will be fine," said Bai Meiyue with an eyeroll. "If you tell Lei Qian, we will only waste our time. By the time I finish quarrelling with him, I will finish filling up the water tank and return home," she wasn't even exaggerating. Lei Qian treated her as if she were made of porcelain; if not for the fact that she would hang him upside down, he would have tried to lock her up in a room.
That man knew that she would kill him if he tried to pull a stunt like that; that was the only reason why he didn't bother to do it.
Xiao Wu went to retort, but then he calmed down and realised that what Bai Meiyue said was indeed the truth. Lei Qian was quite harsh on the rest of the team, but with Bai Meiyue, he was incapable of winning any arguments. In the end, after going to and fro, he would have to concede to whatever Bai Meiyue was saying.
At most, he would follow Bai Meiyue.
"Then—let's go?" What else could Xiao Wu say? Even the leader of the team could not win against Bai Meiyue, so how could a small thug win against Bai Meiyue? He was not even an ability user.
Bai Meiyue smiled and patted the man on the shoulders. She was glad that the man was smart enough to understand something so simple. If not, she would have truly questioned Xiao Wu's IQ.
The two of them stepped out of the mansion, while the rest of the team started cooking breakfast. As Yang Chunhua knew that there was no way they could cook breakfast for more than a hundred people on a small induction stove, she created six to seven earth stoves with her skills, and with the help of the low-level fire ability users, she lit those stoves up before letting Mother Bai take over.
Fortunately, even when they were in a hurry, they had packed up all the pots and pans or else things would have been quite troublesome. Without the pots and pans, how would they cook?
Mother Bai started cooking porridge for everyone on the team.
While Bai Meiyue and the Bai family were slowly trying to regain their life back, Su Hu was having a really bad time. He had no idea what was going on. Ever since he handed Xiang Mei to the army, he has been living a really good life. But for the last few days, every time he stepped out of his house, someone would try to kill him.
He knew that the attacks were targeted at him because no one else was facing the same trouble as him. Just like how, when he returned home, he saw his entire apartment turned upside down. Even the couch was shredded as if someone was taking revenge on him. His bed was doused with water, which left him with no place to live.
"Oh, it seems like the great Master Su is having a hard time." Bai Xue was also at the apartment building when she saw Su Hu standing outside his apartment; curiously, she peered inside the apartment, and her lips curled up in a delightful smile. Ever since Su Hu betrayed her and took Xiang Mei away, she had been waiting for a chance to mock the man. "What is this? Who did this to you, Brother Su? It seems like someone is truly angry at you. Did you betray someone else?"
Su Hu's face turned red with embarrassment. He raised his head and glared at the woman who was mocking him. He wanted to fight Bai Xue, but when he thought about how Bai Xue was backed by Bai Feng, he could only grit his teeth and turn his head away. He walked inside the apartment and closed the door behind him with a bang.
In his heart, he couldn't help but curse Bai Xue for being shameless. Who was she looking down at? In the end, wasn't she too relying on her older brother to wipe her bottom?
