Chapter 530 - 531 Two Little Female Thieves
Song Xiaodong went straight back to the hotel and laid out all the medicines on the table. These were treasures, and although they cost a fair amount of money, the cash was definitely not as important as these items.
These were essential assets for enhancing his strength, only with improved strength could he win the battle two years later and qualify to take care of his family afterward.
For an individual, to serve the country and the people and to risk life and death is heroic, but often there is no greater motivation than doing it for one’s family.
Everyone is selfish, and everyone cares most about their family, the people they love. When Xiaodong was in the army, he even became somewhat negative about this battle, which was also why he left the army. At home, he finally found the meaning of the fight, the source of his motivation.
After putting the items away, Song Xiaodong decided to go out again to see if he could find more good stuff elsewhere.
However, after wandering for a few hours, Song Xiaodong had no further gains. The best the medicinal herb shops had were herbs of twenty years, and these could be found in Tiannan City. There was even one shop that tried to pass off herbs of just over a decade as several centuries old to swindle him.
Seeing that it was getting late, Song Xiaodong returned to the hotel, but as he reached his room’s door, his expression immediately became sharp—someone had tampered with the door, meaning someone had been inside the room.
Before leaving, Song Xiaodong had told the housekeeping staff there was no need to clean up, and now someone had entered, likely after the medicines inside.
Upon opening the door, Song Xiaodong saw two individuals: Lin Shu and Zhong Chuling, the two girls.
This considerably lessened the anger Song Xiaodong initially felt since there was a reasonable explanation for the girls’ presence. If it had been anyone else, Song Xiaodong wouldn’t have likely been so courteous at this moment. Additionally, seeing them there meant the medicines definitely hadn’t been taken, so there was no need to worry anymore.
