Chapter 597: Chapter 597 Bad Things and Good Things Chapter 597: Chapter 597 Bad Things and Good Things The crowd erupted into cheers upon hearing Long Aotian’s words.

They had been worried about not being able to buy supplies, but now, seeing Long Aotian’s confidence and the many large bags of grain and several baskets of pastries placed back on the table, they felt much more reassured.

Outside the courtyard wall, a few individuals of varying heights exchanged glances and then made their way toward the end of the queue…
Lin Xiuyuan was somewhat curious why Su Jin, who usually took the lead, hadn’t come out to help after taking a Face-changing pill, but with the addition of Lu Hao and the others, he realized that they indeed had enough manpower.

Especially Lin Yunguo, who was sitting in front of the baskets of pastries, selling the special pastries he himself had made. He had added quite a bit of chicken eggs and lard to them, making them nutritious.

“Sir, did you make these pastries? Why can’t we replicate this taste at home after buying flour?”

A young woman came over and asked. She wasn’t there to buy anything, so she wasn’t in the queue.

“Ah, well, I added some of my own rendered lard and cooked spices to it; of course, it naturally tastes better. It’s also about getting the heat right,” Lin Yunguo replied.

Lin Yunguo dared not admit that he’d added a lot of eggs into the pastries, although that was the biggest contributing factor to their appeal.

“Oh, I see. Never mind then, I’ll just go and get in line to buy some. I can’t manage to get my hands on something as rare as lard,” the woman said regretfully, before returning to the back of the queue.

After learning that such valuable lard was added to the pastries, many who were previously hesitant to buy also gathered around out of curiosity, and one basket of pastries soon sold out. Lin Xiuyuan took out another basket from his storage bag.

“My goodness, I’m not going to have any free time in the future,” Lin Yunguo remarked.

Despite saying so, his face revealed an involuntary satisfaction that was even more interesting than his previous job as a chef in a kitchen.

Su Jin, standing upstairs, watched the scene of selling supplies below.

Not far away, there seemed to be a few disciples of the True Martial Sect helping maintain order at the scene, with Xiao Yu among them, busily directing things. She also took a broom and dustpan from time to time to sweep up the trash that had fallen on the ground.

Could there really be someone from the True Martial Sect involved in the plan to plant explosives?

Su Jin couldn’t help but think, even though it was just Lu Hao’s suspicion, Su Jin trusted Lu Hao’s judgment more. Nevertheless, no one had yet appeared in the Confinement Formation behind the balcony.

In the evening, after a tiring day, the family was called into Space by Su Jin.

“For the next few days, let’s rest in Space at night,” Su Jin suggested.

“Really? Can we?” Lin Xiuyuan, sprawled on the couch, sat up straight and asked. If they could rest in Space, they wouldn’t feel so tired during the day.

“Xiao Jin, has something happened?” Mao Zhihang, who was in the S city base, inquired.

As the saying goes, the observer sees more of the game. Although he wasn’t with everyone at the F city base, he could tell something from the expressions on Su Jin and Lu Hao’s faces.

“What happened? Nothing happened, right?” Lin Cheng looked around, puzzled. They had been on high alert every night, sleeping in their clothes and just short of setting up night watches.

Su Jin nodded and used her mind to summon the box of explosives they had discovered today from behind the creek.

“Today, Lu Hao found this beneath the back wall of the small building,” she said somberly.

“What’s this? A box of treasures?” Nie Qing’s first reaction was to think of treasures, seeing the tightly locked wooden box.

“This is a box of explosives strong enough to blow up the small building,” Lu Hao added.

!!!

“Explosives? You can’t be serious?” Huang Yunxiang broke out in a cold sweat. If the small building were blown up, what about them inside?

“I trust Xiao Hao’s judgment; he can be said to be professional in this regard,”
Lu Guanhai said, frowning.

The whole family fell silent. Was it really explosives? Who would go to such cruel lengths?

They were here selling supplies. Weren’t they bringing benefits to the people here?

“My goodness, that’s so scary. You guys hurry back. We won’t sell things there anymore,”
Lin Tianhui felt like she was about to cry, her husband and family were all there. If something happened…

She simply couldn’t bear to imagine it.

“It’s definitely those bastards from the base; they won’t get away with it!”

Lin Cheng said angrily, slamming his fist on the table.

“I’ve restored the spot where the explosives were planted back to its original arrangement and have set up a Confinement Formation there. If someone tries to set off the explosives, we can definitely catch them,”
Lu Hao comforted everyone, saying that this incident certainly required a proper explanation to everyone.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for oversimplifying things and putting everyone in danger,”
Su Jin said, lowering her head. Since she had discovered the box of explosives, she had been blaming herself, and she dared not think of the consequences.

“Su Jin, don’t talk like that. This isn’t your fault. When we catch the person responsible, we will surely deal with him severely,”
Lin Xiuyuan said, feeling a pang of heartache upon seeing the usually confident Su Jin looking like this.

His family’s witch, Su Jin, shouldn’t be like this.

“Yeah, Xiao Jin, how could we blame you? Luckily, you and Xiao Hao discovered it. You saved us,”
Huang Yunxiang also came over to comfort her.

“Xiao Jin, our family will definitely be fine. It’s as if Heaven itself is helping us. It’s Heaven that let you discover the danger ahead of time. So, don’t be afraid,”
Li Xiuying knew that Su Jin was actually just scared because, after all, not everyone could bear such responsibility.

“Thank you all,”
Su Jin suddenly felt like crying. Besides saying ‘thank you,’ she didn’t know what else to say. This was the family she had been protecting in her second chance at life! A family, after all, are people who never blame each other, no matter what happens.

“Ahem, ahem, ahem, let’s not talk about these unpleasant things for now. I have an announcement of some wonderful news that will surely keep everyone up with excitement,”
Su Xiangzhe stood up. Seeing his own daughter with red eyes, he felt almost heartbroken.

“Wonderful news, wonderful news,”
Mao Qiqi also clapped her hands, although she already knew what her uncle was about to announce.

“What wonderful news, husband? What could you possibly have to announce?”

Lin Tianhui said, smiling at the sight of Su Xiangzhe suddenly standing up.

“Here it comes, so everyone listen up. Our own little Miss Su Jin is pregnant~,”
Su Xiangzhe deliberately drew out the last three words, speaking in the happiest tone he could muster.

The space fell silent once again; however, unlike before, the moment of silence was soon pierced by the shrieks of several women.

“Ahhhh~~ Xiao Jin, is what your dad said true?!”

Lin Tianhui shrieked, covering her face, hardly believing her own ears.

Lu Guanhai and Nie Qing also covered their mouths, laughing; this news truly made everyone forget about the recent troubles.

“Mom, it’s true,”
Su Jin said with a smile.
