Chapter 283: Chapter 266: The Development of the Middle East (1st Update!)
Half an hour later, the hovercraft carrying Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing rendezvoused with the one carrying their families over the open sea.
Lin Yun's and Xia Qingqing's parents were initially shocked by the existence of these hovercraft, but over the course of the journey, they had mostly come to accept them. Once they knew the identity of who they were meeting, they all became very warm and polite.
Lin Yun's younger sister, Lin Duoer, and Xia Qingqing's younger brother, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Xia Xiaotian, adapted quickly. They were quite excited during the journey and were extremely thrilled when they saw Lin Yun.
Lin Duoer called out 'brother' incessantly, cheerfully inquiring about all sorts of things.
Xia Xiaotian enthusiastically called Lin Yun his brother-in-law. However, perhaps due to unfamiliarity, he didn't have as many questions as Lin Duoer. He merely listened attentively and watched Lin Yun with adoration whenever Lin Duoer asked Lin Yun something.
Once Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing switched to the higher-end hovercraft, they quickly headed in a particular direction.
The speed of six thousand kilometers per hour was not to be taken lightly.
Two hours later, they arrived in a place in the Middle East.
"Boss, you're here?" Zhao Gang was thrilled to see Lin Yun and his party arrive.
"Uncle, auntie, sister-in-law, Duoer…" Zhao Gang then greeted the rest of the people around Lin Yun.
"Gangzi, why are you here?" Lin Duoer exclaimed in surprise.
"Gangzi…" Xia Qingqing also greeted him in surprise. She knew that Zhao Gang was Lin Yun's good friend, and they had once had meals and conversations together. She also knew that Zhao Gang had gone to Shen City a few days ago.
She didn't expect that Zhao Gang was already here.
As Xia Qingqing finished speaking, she looked around at the surrounding environment. There were only a few dilapidated buildings, some teenagers standing at attention in an open space, and some practicing a variety of movements.
There were black, white, and Asian people. In total, there were about several hundred people, and they all had serious expressions on their faces. Even when Lin Yun's group was talking, none of the teenagers so much as glanced in their direction.
"A few days ago, I sent Gangzi here to handle some things," Lin Yun smiled.
As he spoke, Lin Yun glanced around at the nearby situation. Seeing the performance of the teenagers, Lin Yun nodded slightly in satisfaction. Although it had only been a few days, he could tell that the robots and Zhao Gang had delivered excellent training results for the teenagers.
Lin Yun had sent people here in two batches.
The first batch was some robots. Since the day Zhao Gang told him about the orphanages in Huaxia and the resulting difficulties, Lin Yun had been considering these things. He had bought a robot with Peak Dark Strength to protect Zhao Gang. A few days later, after saving some Spirit Crystals, he purchased several more robots and a regular hovercraft for development here.
Because he didn't have many Spirit Crystals, the strength of the robots he bought wasn't very high. He thought at the time that he should first test the waters. If something unexpected really happened, he should be safe given that this place was far from Huaxia and Shen City.
Three or four days ago, when Zhao Gang encountered a problem, Lin Yun had sent him to Shen City to meet him. After entrusting Zhao Gang with some tasks, Zhao Gang and the robot alongside him came here.
In a little over ten days, these teenagers, many of whom just joined after Zhao Gang's arrival, showed such remarkable progress. It was apparent that with time, their training results would be even better.
Then, Lin Yun looked at the surrounding buildings. Seeing the sparse and dilapidated buildings, he couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
Because the robots couldn't carry building materials and construction equipment, and since he couldn't come in person, he didn't send building robots at the time. The buildings that they could see were already in existence.
He initially just wanted a few robots and didn't need grand accommodations. Furthermore, starting significant construction as soon as they arrived might draw too much attention. So, he had the robots utilize the existing buildings at first.
To his surprise, later, he had Zhao Gang and others come over, along with these hundreds of teenagers, which seemed a bit unfair to these people.
"Gangzi, these past few days, I've put you through a lot..." Thinking this, Lin Yun looked at Zhao Gang and said.
Zhao Gang knew what Lin Yun was referring to. He smiled and said, "Boss, what's this? Back then, when I went to other places for wholesale dealing of fruits, a bedding set, and I slept in the vehicle every day, all this was common, not to mention, we have houses here."
"But, it's a bit unfair to Aunt Qi. The living conditions here are good, but the food is not very good. Her body has just been treated..." After a pause, Zhao Gang said.
"I overlooked that." Lin Yun slapped his forehead and said.
He knew who Aunt Qi Zhao Gang was referring to, Qi Weiwei's mother.
Qi Weiwei, the girl who helped him at the Nightingale Bar, and whom he saved at the Royal Club, only, by the time he arrived, it was too late. She had already suffered irreparable harm.
Whenever he thought about this, Lin Yun felt some regret. If had been earlier that time, perhaps...
But he knew that even if he had gone earlier, it wouldn't have made a difference because, as Jiang Yan said, they had already laid their hands on Qi Weiwei by the time she made the call.
After Lin Yun brought her to Qingyun Hotel, he had been feeling that her condition wasn't right.
Thank goodness for the presence of Qi Weiwei's mother, which allowed Qi Weiwei to hold on, but after her mother recovered from her illness, Qi Weiwei's condition began to deteriorate again, seemingly wanting to isolate herself from the world.
Because Lin Yun had cured Qi Weiwei's mother, Qi Weiwei seemed to want to repay him and proposed to work for him. But considering Qi Weiwei's condition, Lin Yun didn't think it was suitable for her to work. Still, outright refusal might make things worse.
At that time, Zhao Gang went to Shen City. Lin Yun thought about it and simply brought Qi Weiwei over with Zhao Gang.
In his opinion, perhaps a change in environment would improve Qi Weiwei's state.
Zhao Gang was someone Qi Weiwei didn't know, so she wouldn't feel out of place around him.
The distance was so far, and Qi Weiwei's mother, who was now her emotional pillar, naturally had to come along.
However, Lin Yun had overlooked their meal problem, especially Qi Weiwei's mother, who had just recovered from a serious illness, needed special attention to this aspect.
"Brother Lin, Sister Qingqing, you are here..."
At this moment, a soft voice sounded.
A beautiful girl walked over from behind the crowd, bowed her head, and whispered.
"Weiwei, you're here too?" Xia Qingqing grabbed the girl's arm excitedly and said.
Her tone was soft, mixed with a hint of pity.
Xia Qingqing knew Qi Weiwei, and she was also aware of what Qi Weiwei had gone through, she felt extremely sorry for this girl and had spent a long time comforting and accompanying her.
Although she had left Shen City only a little over two hours ago, Xia Qingqing knew that they were thousands of miles away from Shen City, and even farther from Huaxia. In such an unfamiliar place, seeing a familiar face made Xia Qingqing happy.
In Qi Weiwei's hand, there was a basin of clothes. She was probably doing laundry just now. However, Lin Yun glanced at it and found these were not women's clothes in the basin, but men's. They were not the clothes of her and her mother.
