Reborn : Space Intelligent Woman

Chapter 2601: Chapter 2601: Golden Harvest

After finishing the work, Yu Qi sat down and took out her phone. Earlier that morning, she had sent messages to Neko-chan and Han Baise, asking them to dig into the background of Golden Harvest Exports. Neither of them disappointed her.

Long Hui also sat down beside Yu Qi.

”What are you doing?” Long Hui asked.

”Oh... I asked Neko-chan and Baise to dig into the background of Golden Harvest Exports.” Yu Qi whispered.

Hearing this, Long Hui became interested.

”Let’s hear about it.” Long Hui said.

”Golden Harvest is actually a subsidiary of a larger conglomerate called Sheng Logistics. They have been flagged before for ’aggressive sourcing’ in several rural provinces, but the cases always mysteriously vanish. And look at Manager Kang’s record. He is not just a manager. He has a history of ’debt collection’ for underground lending circles.” Yu Qi narrowed her eyes as she carefully read the report.

”So he’s a professional bully. That explains why Su Longuo is so terrified.” Long Hui remarked, his expression darkening.

The conversation ended there because Nurse Shin Teng called them over to eat dinner.

”Let’s continue this later.” Yu Qi stated.

Long Hui nodded. The two of them approached the group and took their food.

”Ah... Doctor Yu Qi no longer spends time with us.” Nurse Shin Teng teased Yu Qi.

Yu Qi’s face flushed red. Nurse Shin Teng laughed loudly. It was rare to see Yu Qi like that. It only happened when the situation involved her beloved fiancé.

The atmosphere during dinner quickly became lively. The medical team chatted with each other about the patients and many other things.

After dinner, Yu Qi and Long Hui walked together again. They needed to set up the trap for tomorrow. They deliberately chose a darker route.

Only after confirming that there was no one around did Yu Qi disappear into her space, Sere. She walked toward the pagoda and reached the technology floor.

On this floor, every piece of technology she had created was stored. She reached out and took several small, discreet devices, high-resolution miniature cameras and long-range microphones, and placed them carefully into her bag. After that, she left Sere.

Long Hui was waiting for her outside. Yu Qi showed him what she had taken from Sere.

”We need to record the exchange tomorrow. I want his threats on video. I want him to admit to the predatory nature of the debt. Once we have that, I can use my influence at YQ Greenhouse to completely blackball Golden Harvest from the national organic market. They would not risk a massive corporate scandal just for one small village.” Yu Qi explained.

”Hmm... I will plant these at the weigh station and the main office. They won’t even know they’re being watched.” Long Hui said as he took the equipment from Yu Qi.

He immediately moved toward the village office. He bypassed the simple lock and quietly placed the devices in strategic corners, ensuring that every angle of the desk where the ”negotiations” would happen was fully covered.

....

The morning started as usual. By 8 a.m., the communal hall had already been transformed. Tables were lined with sterilised medical equipment, and rows of chairs were filled with villagers patiently waiting for their check-ups. The atmosphere was filled with the rhythmic ”thump-thump” of blood pressure cuffs and the quiet chatter of the nursing staff.

Nurse Shin Teng was in her element, moving between patients with practiced efficiency. She stopped by Yu Qi, who was reviewing a medical chart for an elderly woman suffering from chronic joint pain.

”Doctor Yu Qi, everyone seems so healthy here compared to the last village. Aside from some old-age aches, their vitals are remarkably strong. They must be eating nutritious food, and the air here is very fresh.” Shin Teng whispered.

”Nutritious food and fresh air really do wonders, Nurse Shin.” Yu Qi nodded.

She agreed with Nurse Shin Teng’s observation.

”But let’s keep a close eye on their stress levels today. I have a feeling the ’atmosphere’ might change soon.” Yu Qi added with a small smile.

”Stress? But everyone seems so happy today. I heard it is because the harvest trucks are coming.” Shin Teng blinked, looking puzzled.

”Just a hunch.” Yu Qi replied smoothly.

Nurse Shin Teng was still very confused by Yu Qi’s words.

Yu Qi glanced over, her eyes catching Long Hui standing near the entrance. He was not wearing his usual relaxed expression. Instead, he was leaning against a wooden pillar with his arms crossed, watching the road that led into the village.

”Ah... Doctor Yu Qi, you are staring at your fiancé again.” Nurse Shin Teng teased Yu Qi.

Yu Qi quickly turned away and coughed several times to cover her embarrassment.

”Do your work.” Yu Qi said to Nurse Shin Teng.

Nurse Shin Teng laughed again and went back to her duties.

Doctor Duan Jiang was currently talking with Su Longuo near the weigh station. Su Longuo looked pale, and his eyes kept darting toward the mountain pass every few seconds. He wiped the sweat from his forehead repeatedly despite the cool breeze blowing through the area.

”Are you alright, Chief Su? Your pulse looks a bit rapid from over here. Perhaps you should sit down for a quick check-up?” Doctor Duan asked with concern.

”No, no, Doctor. Just... harvest jitters.” Su Longuo stammered while shaking his head. He tried to force a smile. ”It is just a big day today. Lots of weight to move.”

Since Su Longuo refused, Doctor Duan Jiang could not force Su Longuo. Well, I will pay attention to him.’ That was what Doctor Duan Jiang thought.

Then the peace was suddenly shattered.

They heard the low, aggressive growl of multiple engines echoing through the valley.
