Food delivery services are available in every world, and the big shots are going crazy for me.

Chapter 21 Deducting My Deposit
On the way back, Mo Qianxun kept gurgling. She had only eaten one dry piece of bread all morning and was starving.

"What, didn't you eat over there?" Squad Leader Wang laughed as he heard the duet of sounds coming from Mo Qianxun's stomach.

"Don't even mention it. I only ate a dry bread roll over there. You wouldn't believe how hard it was, like a brick. It was so hard it hurt my teeth." Just thinking about that bread made Mo Qianxun's teeth ache.

"Oh? You're really having a tough time. It's okay, we'll cook you something delicious when we get back," Squad Leader Wang said with a smile.

"Oh, thank you so much! You have no idea how much I was thinking about getting back over there. I was so cold and hungry."

"Isn't that supposed to be a magical world? What, is that the only kind of food in a magical world?"

"Don't even mention it. There are a lot of food options over there, but the only thing you can eat while walking is bread. If it weren't for the time limit for this delivery order, I would have eaten first before delivering it."

Back at the base, Mo Qianxun was summoned to Zhao Jianguo's office.

"Your paternity test results are in, and you and An Junjie are indeed father and daughter." Zhao Jianguo handed the test report to Mo Qianxun.

After reading the report, Mo Qianxun lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

"Qianxun, are you alright?" Zhao Jianguo looked at Mo Qianxun with some concern. Having been an orphan for more than 20 years and suffered so much, she suddenly discovered one day that she actually had parents and that her family was quite well-off. He was afraid that Mo Qianxun would break down.

"I'm fine. What's the attitude of the An family?"

“The An Junjie couple already know An Xin’s true identity. Judging from what they’ve been doing lately, they don’t seem to want to continue protecting An Xin.” Zhao Jianguo said, handing her a file folder. “This contains some of the things they’ve been doing recently.”

Mo Qianxun didn't open it immediately, but looked at Zhao Jianguo and said, "Uncle Zhao, I want to see them with my own eyes."

"Alright, I'll send someone to take you to make contact with them. The special base should be completed in about a month, at which point you probably won't have much time to contact the An family." Once the base is completed, Mo Qianxun will likely be staying there for a long time.

"I see."

"I have another piece of good news to tell you. All the Nine Nether Grasses you brought back have bloomed. Old Wang and his team did some experiments with one of them and found that the extract of the Nine Nether Grass can quickly repair necrotic cells in the human body. For people who are disfigured or have large areas of scars, once this medicine is available, it will be their greatest blessing." Zhao Jianguo's face was filled with excitement. How many heroes have retired because of large areas of burns, especially firefighters? Many of them have been burned and disfigured while fighting fires.

Mo Qianxun smiled and said, "Really? That's wonderful! By the way, Sister Mei'er said that this Nine Nether Grass also has the effect of strengthening the soul."

“Soul Strengthening? Our country does have a department that specializes in researching the soul.” Zhao Jianguo suddenly laughed as he thought of something: “Interesting. If they knew about the Nine Nether Grass’s function, then that little bit of Nine Nether Grass wouldn’t be too much.”

Mo Qianxun suddenly remembered the Marrow Cleansing Pill and quickly took it out: "Uncle Zhao, this is the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Sister Mei'er said that this Marrow Cleansing Pill can remove impurities from the human body and should also strengthen the body."

"Marrow Cleansing Pill? The kind of Marrow Cleansing Pill from cultivation novels?" Zhao Jianguo, who had recently been catching up on a lot of novels, was stunned for two seconds when he saw the Marrow Cleansing Pill, then excitedly picked it up. Something fictional in novels had actually become a reality?

"Right, but the process of cleansing the marrow after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill should be quite painful. You should tell them before using it."

"It's alright. Even if we have to use this stuff, we'll prioritize those who are on missions. They've all been through dangerous situations, so they should be able to handle this kind of pain. Besides, we only have this one bottle right now, so we should focus on getting the research institute to develop it first. If we can find a substitute, that would be even better." "A substitute for the Marrow Cleansing Pill? That's probably very difficult, since the plants in our world don't have spiritual energy."

"It's okay. Even if we don't have it now, we will in the future. The people in the Agricultural College are already trying to grow Nine Nether Grass."

"That would require a lot of spirit stones, wouldn't it?"

"It's alright, but when it comes to spirit stones, the more the better."

Not far from the An family villa, a low-key black sedan was parked on the side of the road. Mo Qianxun sat in the car and watched the An family couple get into their car.

"Can you keep up?"

"No need, I've already seen them, let's go back." Mo Qianxun's mind was filled with images of the An family couple. Madam An seemed to be a very gentle woman, and An Junjie was a gentle husband who doted on his wife. So, these two were her parents?

Mo Qianxun did not go directly back to the base, but instead returned to her rented apartment.

"You guys find a place to sit, I'll pack some things and then we'll go back." Mo Qianxun poured them a glass of water, told them to make themselves at home, and then went back to her bedroom to pack her things.

While packing her things, she called the landlord to tell him about moving out. The landlord readily agreed, but they disagreed on the matter of returning the deposit.

"Uncle, how can you do this? We agreed that the deposit would be refunded after you check out."

"Young lady, it's not that I don't want to return your deposit, it's just that because of what happened last time, many people have come to me to make trouble. They don't want to live with you, but I can't find you. I can only watch helplessly as several tenants move out. You have to compensate me."

"Uncle, don't you think you're being unreasonable? I still have half a month left before my due date, and I didn't even ask you for the rent for that half month. Now you want to deduct from my deposit. Isn't that going too far?"

"You've worn out my stuff and I haven't even asked you for wear and tear compensation yet. You're at home, right? Wait for me, we'll have a serious talk." The man hung up the phone after saying that.

Mo Qianxun, unable to contain her anger, threw her phone onto the bed, sat down sullenly, and looked up to see a row of heads lined up at the door.

"Well, we didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, we were just a little worried about you." Squad Leader Wang scratched his face a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay, there's nothing you can't hear."

Squad Leader Wang and the others gathered around: "Did they withhold your deposit?"

Mo Qianxun was so angry at the mention of this that her liver and lungs ached: "Tell me, how can there be such a person?"

Squad Leader Wang and the others nodded in agreement: "That is indeed outrageous. It's alright, we're here for you. We'll keep an eye on him. If he dares to deduct money arbitrarily, we'll go to the police station and make things clear."

Thank you to my happy baby for the votes!
