Chapter 118 Found the person, but didn't let him save her
"Wanwan, there's news about Xiaoyi!"
Yu Rou ran into Jiang Wan's office excitedly, shouting loudly.
Since receiving the news of Xiaoyi's disappearance half a month ago, Jiang Wan's behavior has exceeded everyone's expectations.
Many people believed that Jiang Wan must be very sad because her partner was missing, and would have no intention of working. So they could use the excuse that females are too weak to propose to the headquarters of the Female Association to replace the president.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Wan acted as if nothing had happened, going to get off work and coming home as usual every day, and handling the association's work without any mistakes.
Instead, those who wanted to laugh at her got themselves slapped in the face.
Only Yu Rou and Bai Li who lived next door knew that after Jiang Wan got home from get off work every day, he would immediately look for Bai Li or Bai Zhuo to inquire about Yin Yi's news.
Yu Rou even moved in with Jiang Wan during this period, and had a better understanding of Jiang Wan's thoughts beneath his calm surface.
Although Jiang Wan repeatedly emphasized that she was fine, if she was really fine, why would she take a shower with her clothes on? And why did she forget to brush her teeth a second time after clearly brushing them?
As time went by, the domain control department still didn't find any trace of Yin Yi and his group. More and more people believed that Yin Yi and his group must have been affected by the aftermath of the warship's self-explosion and had died.
A few days ago, the House of Representatives even summoned the top officials of the Empire to discuss whether to continue to expend manpower and resources to search for the whereabouts of these people.
In the end, most people voted to abstain.
In the past few days, the searching troops have been withdrawn one after another.
Unexpectedly, when everyone had given up, news came that those people had been found. Bai Li told Yu Rou the news immediately, and Yu Rou immediately came to report the good news to Jiang Wan.
"Really? Where are they, are they okay? When will they be back?"
Jiang Wan immediately stood up and looked at Yu Rou in surprise, not even noticing that the chair behind him was knocked over.
"Yes, Bai Li just called me and said that they have found Xiao Yi and the others, and now the military is discussing sending people to rescue them."
Yu Rou nodded vigorously, assuring Jiang Wan of the authenticity of the news.
"That's good."
Jiang Wan finally showed his first smile in half a month. His tense emotions finally relaxed and he sat back as if to relieve himself.
"Hey, be careful!"
Yu Rou quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Wan's arm, thus preventing her from falling. After she regained her balance, she helped her pick up the chair she had fallen on, and then let her sit down again.
"Thank you."
Jiang Wan smiled embarrassedly.
"Are you so polite to me?"
Yu Rou glared at her unhappily, then returned to sit on the chair opposite.
"Now there is finally news about Xiaoyi and the others. It looks like I will be able to attend your wedding soon."
"Okay, I'll let you sit at the main table then, okay?"
After hearing the news that Yin Yi was still alive, Jiang Wan finally felt like joking.
"Of course."
Yu Rou raised her chin in a proud manner, "Tell me, are there any newlyweds who have it as easy as you? You don't have to do anything, just show up on the wedding day. Bai Li and I have arranged everything for you, you have to thank us."
"Okay, when Yin Yi comes back, I'll ask him to give you a big red envelope to thank you for your hard work, okay?"
"Of course. By the way, let's get off work early today. Bai Li's communication just now didn't clearly state where Xiao Yi was found, and the military is also discussing sending people to rescue him. I guess we should know the result when we get home tonight."
"Okay, there aren't many things to do recently anyway, so we can handle it quickly. We'll go back early in the afternoon."
When there is something you urgently want to know, going to work suddenly becomes a torment. Even though the working time is the same as before, Jiang Wan feels that time is passing particularly slowly today.
After she looked at the time for who knows how many times, it was finally time to get off work.
Jiang Wan put away the unfinished work in his hands without hesitation, planning to deal with it tomorrow, and packed up to get ready to leave work.
This was the first time in her career that she had to put off work from the first day until the second day.
"Yu Rou, are you done with your work?"
When Yu Rou heard the voice, she looked up from her work and saw the time. It was just one minute past the end of get off work time.
She quickly put away the things in her hands, stood up and prepared to leave, "Okay, I'll be right there."
Today, the staff of the Female Association saw a strange scene. The new president and vice president, who always worked overtime after get off work every day, actually left work on time for the first time.
"Is today a special day? Why didn't the president and vice president work overtime?"
"I don't know. It's just time to get off work, and they left?"
"Do we still have to work overtime?"
"No, the president and the others are gone. Who are we working overtime for?"
"That's right, let's go too."
"Yeah, let's pack up. It's still early. Let's go shopping. I haven't been shopping for a long time. Today I just happened to go buy some clothes. I'm almost out of clothes in my closet."
"Me too. Let's go shopping today and buy more. Otherwise, we don't know if we will have another chance later. Since the change of president, I've been so busy every day."
"Although I am a bit busier, I feel that my work is more meaningful now. It is not like before, when I felt confused every day and didn't know what I was doing."
"Okay, I'm done cleaning up. How long will you need?"
"Okay, okay, let's go."
......
"Cousin, how is it going? Where is Yin Yi now? Has the military sent anyone to rescue them?"
Late at night, Bai Li just returned home and saw that his living room was still brightly lit. After entering the room, Jiang Wan couldn't wait to speak before he sat down.
Jiang Wan, who originally thought he would hear good news, saw that Bai Li's face looked very ugly, and he looked tired and gloomy. Anyone with eyes could tell at a glance that Bai Li was trying desperately to suppress the anger in his heart.
Yu Rou handed Bai Li a glass of water. Seeing him like this, she became worried: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Bai Li took the water cup and drank it all, then said with a dark face: "Xiao Yi's location has been determined, on the deserted planet 1036, but the military does not plan to send anyone to rescue them."
"what?"
Jiang Wan and Yu Rou looked at each other in shock. "Since they have found them, why don't they send people to rescue them? What do those people in the military think? What did Marshal Bai Zhuo say?"
