Stockpiling for an Exiled General Through My Store's Back Door

Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Straightforward

Her gaze finally settled on the group, a wave of helplessness and conflict welling up inside her.

After all, she only had one small e-bike parked back at the supermarket, and including herself, there were five people here! Even if she pulled off a miracle, there was no way that little e-bike could carry everyone. If she rode off alone and came back to ferry them one by one, the back-and-forth trips would waste a massive amount of time and energy. Plus, the thought of leaving them behind while she left first made her incredibly uneasy.

While Hua Buwan was trapped in this agonizing struggle, a sudden image flashed through her mind with a loud WHOOSH.

In an instant, a lightbulb went off. She suddenly remembered that on the left side of the intersection, right where the main road led away from the supermarket, there was a shop that exclusively sold e-bikes. She realized she could simply go to that shop and buy a new one. It wouldn’t delay them too much.

At this thought, her anxious heart finally settled down. Barely able to contain her excitement, Hua Buwan sprang to her feet and hurried over to Ling Qianjun. She closed the distance in the blink of an eye and spoke at lightning speed. ”Come on, let’s head back to the supermarket first! I’m going to figure out a way to get two e-bikes here!”

Faced with Hua Buwan’s urgent proposal, Ling Qianjun nodded without the slightest hesitation. ”All right!”

He then turned his gentle gaze toward Xu Panqing, Ling Qianfan, and Ling Yunge. ”Mother, Qianfan, Yunge, rest here and wait for a little while. We will be right back,” he instructed softly. With that, he and Hua Buwan hurriedly walked to the side.

Xu Panqing, Ling Qianfan, and Ling Yunge knew absolutely nothing about the ”e-bikes” they had mentioned. They were full of doubts, wondering how a simple two-wheeled contraption could possibly harness the power of lightning.

However, even without understanding the reasoning, they obediently followed the instructions. They nodded and watched as Hua Buwan and Ling Qianjun opened the Any Door and stepped onto the path leading to the supermarket.

The moment Hua Buwan and Ling Qianjun arrived at the supermarket, they wasted no time. Hua Buwan swiftly pulled open the door and nimbly hopped onto her e-bike. She handed a helmet to Ling Qianjun with one hand while expertly strapping on her own.

Once Ling Qianjun was seated securely, Hua Buwan twisted the throttle without hesitation. The e-bike shot off like a rocket, speeding straight toward the vehicle shop. In the blink of an eye, they reached their destination.

Before the shop owner could even open his mouth to offer an introduction, Hua Buwan impatiently dragged Ling Qianjun straight toward the new arrivals section. She thought about how her current e-bike was a cute pastel pink, so she figured she might as well choose a fresh, elegant blue one this time.

After a careful look, Hua Buwan finally settled on her favorite shade. She pointed without hesitation at one of the compact, beautifully designed e-bikes. Turning to Ling Qianjun beside her, she asked softly...
