"Old man!"

Just as the atmosphere in the villa became strange, Liu Xu hurriedly walked in from outside.

He walked up to the group, panting, his expression grave. "Young Master sent someone back; the guard post is requesting backup."

"Requesting backup?"

"Is the eldest brother guarding the point?"

Old Master Shen and Shen Nanxing spoke at the same time.

Liu Xu opened his mouth, unsure which question to answer first.

"An'an, let's go take a look!"

Before Liu Xu could answer, Shen Nanxing turned around and left with Jiang Nian'an and Xiao Longzhan.

"Wait, I'll go with you!"

Shen Su was worried, so he told Lin Qiuning to wait for him at home and then left in a hurry.

Lin Qiuning chased after them to the door, watching the cars drive away one after the other, her eyes filled with deep worry.

"Don't worry, what could possibly happen to three grown men?"

A hint of worry flashed in Old Master Shen's eyes, but he stubbornly insisted on his words.

"but..."

Grandpa Shen turned to Liu Xu and said, "Send two of my men to protect my granddaughter-in-law and that little one!"

"Why!"

Liu Xu quickly agreed and turned to make the arrangements.

"Qiu Ning, get ready..."

Old Master Shen walked to the door, looked up at the completely dark sky, his expression calm, but his voice carried a chilling killing intent, "Nanxing is back, the Lin family should be here soon."

"I understand, Dad."

Lin Qiuning clenched her hands at her sides and gritted her teeth, saying, "If I don't pierce their hearts this time, I don't deserve to be a mother!"

Grandpa Shen didn't say anything, but gently stroked his beard, then leaned on his cane and returned to his original spot to sit down, quietly waiting for his children and grandchildren to return.

......

"What a brat!"

On the way to the outpost, Shen Su looked at the cars speeding ahead and angrily slapped his thigh.

"I told him I was going with him, but he didn't want me!"

Thinking of how he had run to the car and was about to get in when Shen Nanxing started the car and drove away, Shen Su hummed again.

The driver glanced at Shen Su furtively, unsure of what to say.

Given how the gentleman treated the second young master before, it's good that the second young master didn't physically assault him.

"what's on your mind?"

Shen Su suddenly gave the driver a cold look.

The driver shuddered and hurriedly shook his head, "This is something the second young master did not do out of consideration for."

"Bullshit! My son is the most sensible one!"

He deliberately ignored Nanxing for so many years, but Nanxing never hit him. He was simply the most sensible and well-behaved child in the world!

driver:"......"

"Yes, yes, you're right, the second young master is the most sensible." The driver had a blank face.

"That's more like it~"

His stern face was filled with pride, but soon his expression fell, and he looked dejected. "Being too sensible isn't good either. He might as well have beaten me up..."

......

"Brother Chen, your parents' and grandfather's attitudes are different from what you said..."

With no outsiders around, Jiang Nian'an finally couldn't help but ask Shen Nanxing a question.

"I have no idea what they're up to."

Shen Nanxing tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his brows furrowing into a knot.

“Anyway, there was no ill intent!” Xiao Longzhan’s voice came from the back seat.

"You found out again?"

Jiang Nian'an turned around, looked at his little face, which was mottled from eating dragon fruit, and asked with a smile.

"Hmm..."

Xiao Longzhan nodded, "Although I don't know why their story is different from my brother-in-law's, my intuition tells me they mean no harm!"

"Since there's no ill intent, shall we observe further?"

Jiang Nian'an turned her head, gently placed her hand on Shen Nanxing's arm, and said softly.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

He only cared about their attitude towards An'an; as for him...

Whether you're ignored or treated warmly, it doesn't matter.

'Hiss—'

As they approached the checkpoint, the three kings suddenly raised their heads.

[Master, Big Brother, danger is approaching!]

After listening intently with its ears tilted, the little blood fox let out two soft whimpers at Jiang Nian'an and Xiao Longzhan.

Jiang Nian'an immediately sat up straight and turned to look at Shen Nanxing, "Brother Shen!"

"clear!"

Shen Nanxing slammed on the brakes, and the three of them, along with Da Wang, quickly got out of the car.

Jiang Nian'an waved to put the car away and looked around warily.

Although she had never been to the capital in her previous life, she had heard a lot about it.

The main defense points in Beijing are inside the Fifth Ring Road, while the areas outside the Fifth Ring Road are basically uncontrolled zones.

However, because there are six bases in front and the Beijing base guarding the way, this place is relatively safe, inhabited only by small beasts and mutated plants that do not pose a threat to humans.

Those large mutated animals and large numbers of zombies have been violently driven out of Beijing or killed on the spot.

But if the front line is breached, this uncontrolled zone will be quickly overrun.

That is, the position where they are currently standing.
