"Which building do you live in? Which room?" Jiang Fan asked, barely suppressing his anger.
"Building 2, Room 412."
Jiang Fan silently noted it down and continued, "I asked Li Chuxue to distribute meat to the patients and wounded in each building. Didn't your dorm get any?"
"Li Chuxue said the meat was all gone, and they gave it to the more seriously injured people first..." Li Luojia lowered her head even further, "But my roommate has a really high fever..."
Jiang Fan frowned, his temper rising rapidly.
Li Chuxue was the person he personally assigned to be in charge of this matter. He clearly remembered that he said "give them some leopard meat" instead of "arrange them in order of the severity of their injuries".
Given Li Chuxue's thoughtful act of giving away ladder cards earlier, it's unacceptable to be so rigid, and it's even more unacceptable to leave a feverish, injured person completely without any.
"Where is Li Chuxue now?" Jiang Fan asked.
"I...I don't know." Li Luojia shook his head.
"Give me the fish." Jiang Fan took the small fish, turned around and went to the fire. He scooped a large bowl of meat out of the basin. "Here, take this. It will take a lot of time to cook the raw meat back home. Hurry back and give it to your roommate."
"This... is too much... my fish is so small..." Li Luojia nervously twisted her clothes with both hands, her eyes red and swollen, and she did not accept it.
"It's okay, it's an equal exchange. Your roommate is waiting for you to save her life." Jiang Fan shoved the bowl into her hands without saying another word.
To avoid any accidents, they even arranged for someone to take her back.
Congratulations on receiving 350 gratitude points from Li Luojia!
This system notification didn't make Jiang Fan happy; instead, it made him even more irritable.
It's clear that both his previous performance and the system feedback just now show that Li Luojia was not lying.
But he didn't think Li Chuxue would do such a thing.
Soon, Li Chuxue was called over. She ran over, her face still slightly flushed from her busy work: "Jiang Fan, you wanted to see me?"
"Hmm." Jiang Fan adjusted his breathing, trying his best to remain calm.
The reason for sending Li Luojia away was to save face for Li Chuxue.
In any case, compared to her, Li Luojia is ultimately just an outsider.
After a moment's consideration, Jiang Fan finally spoke: "Did you go to the fourth floor of Building 2? Are there many patients and wounded there?"
Li Chuxue paused for a moment, seemingly not understanding why Jiang Fan would bring up this issue.
However, she still deftly took out a small notebook, which was filled with densely packed notes.
"Building 2, 4th floor, a total of 9 people were slightly injured, each receiving half a jin (250g). 4 people were in more serious condition, each receiving 1 jin (500g). A total of 8.5 jin (4.75kg) of leopard meat was handed over to Huo Xuan to process..."
Then she added, "Huo Xuan said she was Tang Qingyu's roommate and would be responsible for distributing the meat fairly. I gave her the meat and specifically told her it was for the wounded."
Huo Xuan? Tang Qingyu's roommate?
"Did you hand the meat to Huo Xuan and see her distribute it?" Jiang Fan pressed.
"No, not at all..." Li Chuxue shook her head. "She took the meat and said she would take care of it, so I went to attend to other things in the building. I thought she was Tang Qingyu's roommate, so she should be... trustworthy, right?"
Her voice trailed off, and she realized something seemed wrong.
The matter is clear.
The meat, after passing through Li Chuxue's hands, flowed to Huo Xuan, but did not reach the hands of low-level wounded soldiers like Li Luojia's roommate.
The problem lies in the intermediate steps.
As for Li Luojia's claim that "Li Chuxue said the meat was all gone and was given to the more seriously injured...", it seems that Huo Xuan was just making things up to divert attention from the situation.
Jiang Fan looked at Li Chuxue: "There's been a small problem with this matter, but it's not your fault. It's my oversight that I put you in charge of such a troublesome task without finding you a few more helpers."
Li Chuxue breathed a sigh of relief, but her face still showed guilt.
"Brother Fan, what do we do now?" Zheng Xiuyuan, with a full beard, leaned over. "Go find that Huo Xuan? Tang Qingyu seems to have gone back to her grandmother's place; she's not here with us."
He was one of the four who hunted the anaconda with Jiang Fan yesterday.
"It's easier if they're not around." Jiang Fan's eyes turned slightly cold.
If Tang Qingyu were present, he would have to consider her feelings, making him hesitant to act decisively.
Now that Huo Xuan is only using the title of "Tang Qingyu's roommate," things are actually simpler.
He led Li Chuxue and her group directly to the ground floor of Building 2, where Huo Xuan was chatting and laughing quietly with several girls next to a large tree not far away.
Huo Xuan was dressed more neatly than the people around her, and her face carried a subtle sense of superiority.
"Huo Xuan?" Jiang Fan asked directly.
Huo Xuan turned her head and saw that it was Jiang Fan. Her eyes lit up, and a smile quickly spread across her face. Her tone was even a little intimate: "Oh, it's Jiang Fan! Did you need something? Did Qingyu mention me to you?"
She specifically emphasized the words "light feather".
"I'm here to talk to you about the distribution of leopard meat." Jiang Fan didn't respond to her question, his tone calm yet pressured. "Li Chuxue gave you the leopard meat allocated to the wounded in this building, but some wounded haven't received it. Where did the meat go?"
Huo Xuan's smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, even with a touch of coquettishness: "Oh, is that all? I did receive the meat, and I distributed it. Maybe...maybe some of the less seriously injured didn't get any? Resources are limited, there has to be a priority."
As she spoke, she observed Jiang Fan's expression, then suddenly lowered her voice, took a half-step forward, and gave him a suggestive look: "Jiang Fan, we're practically family. As for Qingyu... I often live with her, so I know her best. If you're really interested in her, I can help you, right? Don't worry about such a small thing."
Jiang Fan almost laughed out of anger.
He finally understood why this woman was so "bold and reckless".
"Huo Xuan," Jiang Fan's voice turned cold, devoid of any politeness, "First, Tang Qingyu and I are partners, not the kind of nonsense you're thinking. Second, I'm distributing leopard meat to the wounded for life-saving purposes, not for you to use as a bargaining chip for favors or personal enrichment. Third, I'm not discussing this with you right now."
He took a step forward, but the momentum he had built up from fighting wild beasts over the past two days made Huo Xuan subconsciously take a half step back.
"Hand over the leopard meat you've embezzled, or the equivalent in supplies. Now, immediately." Jiang Fan stared at her, his eyes sharp. "Then, take me to distribute the meat to those who are entitled to it. Not a pound less, or if I find out you're up to something again..."
He didn't finish speaking, but his right hand slammed the spear to the ground, causing the shaft to sway slightly.
Zheng Xiuyuan also snorted in agreement and clenched his fist.
The color drained from Huo Xuan's face instantly.
She finally realized that the boy in front of her was not one of those "simps" who fawned over Tang Qingyu that she had seen before.
She realized that Jiang Fan wouldn't fall for her act, and wouldn't show any restraint just because she was Tang Qingyu's roommate.
Under the gaze of those calm yet cold eyes, all her cleverness and wishful thinking were exposed.
