Chapter 143: Willful, Too Willful

In the monitoring room, Liu Heming, Robin, and Nina were all there. They were staring nervously at the screen. Even Nina did not have the time to tease Liu Heming. It was now 9:40, and the time for the transaction was not far away.

“Robin, are they in any danger in the basement?” Liu Heming asked with some concern.

“No problem. With me, Nina, and her team members, unless they are special forces, no one can break in so easily,” Robin said very confidently.

“What if the enemy uses rocket launchers or mortars?” Liu Heming then asked.

Robin gave him a sidelong glance and did not even bother to answer. Even in the United States where guns are legal, people do not play with mortars. Rocket launchers are also big weapons. Who would dare to use them casually? If someone did, the entire United States would go after them.

Liu Heming scratched his head sheepishly. He knew he might have watched too many movies and that his worries were just nonsense.

“But it’s almost ten o’clock now. Why haven’t they come yet?” After waiting a while longer, Liu Heming asked again.

The two of them simply ignored him. They wished they could kick him out; he was too noisy.

At 10:05, there was still no sign on the screen. Liu Heming frowned. “Did you hear something?”

“Dexter, if you really can’t stay still, you can wait outside,” Robin said to him.

“No, I thought I heard something. Are you sure you didn’t hear it?” Liu Heming shook his head and said.

“You might not have misheard. Two helicopters are flying this way. I don’t know if they are your buyers,” Nina said after listening to a report in her earpiece for a moment.

“No way, just for a few sweet potatoes, why would there be helicopters?” Liu Heming said somewhat gloomily.

“It’s confirmed. The helicopters are landing now. My people outside are monitoring them. You can go out now,” Nina then said.

Actually, she didn’t even need to say it now. The sound of the helicopter engines outside was very loud, and everyone could hear it clearly. On the monitoring screen, two helicopters were slowly descending.

Liu Heming thought about it. If they were really bad people, they probably wouldn’t make such a big commotion.

Full of curiosity, Liu Heming walked outside the house. The wind from the helicopter blades was quite strong, making it hard for him to keep his eyes open.

As soon as the helicopters stopped, the cabin doors opened. Two bodyguards in camouflage uniforms stepped out first, with guns visibly slung on their bodies. Liu Heming felt a tightness in his heart.

“You don’t need to worry. These two helicopters are registered under the name of the Qatar embassy. Well, that means your buyers are from Qatar, and they probably have some status,” Nina said as she walked up behind Liu Heming at that moment.

Liu Heming was even more confused. He had heard of Qatar, but how did selling sweet potatoes get connected to them?

At that time, some bodyguards also got off the other helicopter, gathering around the cabin door of the first helicopter. Liu Heming thought a legendary figure in a white robe would come out, but instead, a young girl of about seventeen or eighteen stepped out of the helicopter.

“Are you Dexter? Where are your sweet potatoes?” The girl came up to Liu Heming surrounded by her bodyguards and asked.

“The sweet potatoes are upstairs. You are?” Liu Heming nodded blankly and then asked.

“I am Haya. I found your sweet potatoes very interesting. But I discovered them too late, otherwise I could have bought all of them,” Haya nodded.

“Come upstairs with me. Sorry, I didn’t prepare any boxes. Did you bring any?” Liu Heming asked.

Actually, he was speechless inside. The legendary most willful person in the world had just appeared before him. Even if it wasn’t a man in a white robe, a woman could be just as willful.

“Why didn’t you pack them?” Haya looked at him and said, then muttered something to her bodyguards.

That bodyguard looked at Liu Heming and Nina, then returned to the helicopter. After a while, he came back with two large boxes. There was no problem at all packing Liu Heming’s sweet potatoes in them.

“You have so many sweet potatoes. Why are you only selling a small amount? Can you sell them all to me? I can pay a higher price,” Haya said, somewhat puzzled, seeing the sweet potatoes casually piled up by Liu Heming.

“Haya, I also need to save some for my family,” Liu Heming said with a bitter smile.

“These sweet potatoes are very effective. I can’t just focus on money and not take care of my family. I suggest you eat one sweet potato a day after you go back. Eating more won’t have much extra effect and would be wasteful. If you want more sweet potatoes like these, you’ll have to wait until next year.”

“Oh, I see. Did I buy too many? Should I leave more for you?” Haya thought for a moment, then looked at Liu Heming very seriously and asked.

“Uh… that’s not necessary. The remaining ones are enough for me and my family to eat,” Liu Heming quickly said.

The thoughts of rich people are really hard to figure out. Just a moment ago, she wanted to buy them all, and now she was worried that he might not have enough.

Liu Heming didn’t need to worry about packing the sweet potatoes; Haya’s bodyguards took care of it. After all, sweet potatoes look the same no matter how you look at them, as if they were made from the same mold. He wasn’t worried they would secretly pack more; were they short of that little money?

Liu Heming was also a generous person. Seeing the young girl was unhappy because one set of sweet potatoes had been bought by someone else, he waved his hand and simply gave her a set for free, making it a round number.

She was a big spender, and maybe next year’s sweet potatoes wouldn’t be a worry. As long as Haya took them regularly after going back, she would surely experience the benefits of these sweet potatoes.

The two large boxes of sweet potatoes were taken away, and Haya was very happy. This made Liu Heming somewhat puzzled. He had only given away one extra set of sweet potatoes, worth at most four thousand dollars. Why was she so happy?

“Dexter, I just checked. This Haya is from the Qatari Royal Family,” Nina said to Liu Heming after Haya’s helicopter left.

“No way? She’s from the Royal Family? But aren’t there many rules in their Royal Family?” Liu Heming asked, somewhat surprised.

“Not necessarily. Although Qatar’s Royal Family is not as big as Saudi Arabia’s, they still have some princesses and princes,” Nina said after thinking for a moment.

“Oh no, I need to call Alex and the others out quickly. They must be suffocating in the basement,” Liu Heming slapped his forehead.

Mainly, Haya’s way of arriving was a bit too special—buying sweet potatoes and arriving by helicopter—so he had forgotten about the mother and child.
