My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 781 - 788 arrives at Secret Base2_1

"Well, these are pies, with pickled cabbage and meat filling. The pickled cabbage is fresh from this year, it’s incredibly tasty!" the sister-in-law boasted.

Starving and seeing steamy hot food, Lin Xiangwan couldn’t care less and started eating.

The sour and savory taste was indeed delicious.

"Is it good?" her sister-in-law asked.

Lin Xiangwan took a bite here and there, nodding repeatedly. "Mmm, it’s good, the flavor is wonderful!"

"If it’s good, eat more!"

"Is this the Troops?" Lin Xiangwan finished her food and hastily asked.

"Mmm, it’s the direct-line Troops, but we aren’t exactly Troops!" responded her sister-in-law.

"Then how could Qin Muchuan bring me here? By what authority?" Lin Xiangwan asked, utterly puzzled.

"As for the specifics, my husband didn’t tell me. Xiaoqin told me he is a sponsor of the Troops, so they granted permission for you to stay here after he asked them!"

"He asked them? Let me stay here?" Lin Xiangwan retorted.

After her question, she was convinced she had gone mad, feeling like a fool. "Sister-in-law, how do I leave this place?"

"You want to leave?"

"Yes, the children still have school and I need to work. How could I stay here indefinitely? And where exactly is this? Which province? Have we even left City B?" Lin Xiangwan was both anxious and regretful.

It was entirely her fault for being so tired in the car and falling asleep.

"Hmm... as for where it is, which administrative region it falls under, I can’t say. Besides, I don’t even know!" her sister-in-law shook her head.

"How can you not know? You seem to have been living here for quite a while, right? And you have a northeastern accent, is this the northeast?" Lin Xiangwan tried to gather clues.

"I’m from the northeast so of course I have a northeastern accent. But as for whether this place is in the northeast, I’m just as clueless!" The sister-in-law’s response seemed genuine which didn’t seem like a lie. "I already told you, this place is a secret base. Many dependents live here, but exactly where here is, everyone doesn’t know!"

"Then I’ll make a call!" Lin Xiangwan fished out her phone, planning to use the GPS.

And the result?

The GPS couldn’t be switched on at all.

She tried to call Qin Muchuan, but the call wouldn’t go through. She dialed Su Yueze next, but had the same results. Then she tried Xuexue, Qianqian...

"What’s going on, why can’t I call anyone? Is it because I’ve run out of credit?" Lin Xiangwan roamed the room nervously with her phone.

"Ah, you don’t need to bother trying, the signals are blocked here!" the sister-in-law explained. "Of course, mobile phones aren’t completely useless, they can dial within the base, and connect to the internet, but only for web pages set up by the base. We’re unable to communicate with the outside world!"

Lin Xiangwan was dumbstruck. "What is this place, when can I leave? Will they trap me here forever? Ranran, Tongtong, come over to mommy!"

She rushed out, yelling toward the children playing in the yard.

The children, their faces beet red from the cold, glanced at their mother and then ran to her.

Ranran was the first to hurl himself into his mother’s arms, excitedly saying, "Mommy, it’s so fun here, there are so many odd and interesting things, look, what’s this?" freewebnøvel.coɱ

He displayed the palm of his hand for his mother to see what it held. "Mommy, look, it’s a bullet, there are even bullets here!"

Lin Xiangwan took a look and saw it was spent.

Tongtong also joined her mother’s embrace, adding, "Mommy, daddy said we’d stay here for a while, and that he’d come to visit us after some time!"

"Did he say when?" Lin Xiangwan asked.

"Mmm, daddy also mentioned not to worry. There’s food and necessary supplies here, and a lot of people to socialize with, it’s pretty nice." Tongtong repeated their father’s words.

"And what about you guys? Not going to school?" Lin Xiangwan asked, upset.

"Daddy also said, we’re about to have exams and then vacation, so it wouldn’t matter if we took some days off. He’ll give us the examination papers for me and Ranran to practice, we should mainly review these few days!" Tongtong added.

"Review? He actually suggested you to review? Where’s the study material? The textbooks?" Lin Xiangwan questioned angrily.

Tongtong blinked at her, "Mommy, we brought our school bags along, don’t you remember?"

Lin Xiangwan then remembered, before they were ’sold’, she was supposed to send the children to school.

"I want to talk to Qin Muchuan. Sister-in-law, is there any way?" Lin Xiangwan turned around to consult her sister-in-law.

"Make a call?" the sister-in-law shook her head. "That’s not possible, we only have line-of-sight contact, and even the phones are under strict surveillance, we can’t get anywhere close to them!"

Lin Xiangwan clutched the two children tighter, looking at her sister-in-law in agony. "Are you sure this is a secret base, not a prison? Why do I feel like I’m imprisoned? I’m unsure of when I’ll be able to leave or where I’ll be tomorrow. No, I can’t bear this!"

She started crying helplessly.

Seeing her cry, the sister-in-law grew concerned. "Xiaolin, don’t cry, I can assure you that this isn’t a prison, it’s definitely a secret base. Look, could you have pies in a prison? And smell so good?"

"Wailing, but I’m confined here, I can’t taste anything! To me, there’s no distinction between delicious pies and ordinary steamed bread, I can’t bear this anymore!"

"How can the two be the same? The pickled cabbage we use is homemade, and the pigs are raised by us. All of them are pollution-free, without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides... Can a prison have our kind of treatment?" the sister-in-law spoke with a touch of excitement.

Lin Xiangwan held her children tighter, tears streaming down her face. "I want to go home, can I go home?"

"Of course not, this isn’t a place you can enter and leave at will!" the sister-in-law widened her eyes, as if hearing a tall tale.

"I’ll go home, I promise not to say anything..."

"Even if you want to go home, there aren’t any cars here that can take you!"

"Whimpering..."

Tongtong consoled her mother, "Mommy, don’t cry. I think daddy brought us here so that we could be safer. This place must be good, and he promised he would come see us!"

"Did he mention when he would come?"

Tongtong shook her head.

"I think he’ll never come!" Lin Xiangwan voiced out her pessimistic thoughts.

There were too many benefits for Qin Muchuan to bring them here. Then, no one would divide his property in the future, it must be like this!

"Haha..." the sister-in-law laughed. "No wonder Xiaoqin said his wife was a bit neurotic, and told me to take more care of you. It seems it’s true!"
