Chen Chao's laughter was icy. "Don't know? Don't understand? Do you need me to help you memorize it?"

"Meng Dongcheng, I only gave you the position of deputy base commander because you donated a lot of supplies to the base, and now you're trying to take advantage of me!"

Meng Dongcheng's face stiffened. "Base Commander, I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Don't know? Fine! Ah Yang, carry him up here!"

Ma Yang, who was intently sipping his tea and watching the show, blinked his big, bright eyes and said, "Carry it up? Forget it! I'm not into that kind of thing, Dada!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man in military uniform carried an unconscious woman on one arm and threw her to the ground.

"Yinyin!"

When Meng Dongcheng saw his precious daughter being thrown on the ground like this, his eyes narrowed.

"What exactly do you want? Why are you hurting my daughter just to bring me down? She's still sick."

"Heh~ Deputy Base Commander Meng, it seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!"

Ma Yang twirled the cup in his hand, then suddenly tilted it, spilling all the tea onto his pale face.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! It was my fault for taking Jelly to the zombie horde!"

No, no, don't kill me! It's my dad, it's him! He said that as long as I can lure Jelly out, I'll be the only young lady in the base!

It really wasn't me, I don't know, I don't know anything!

Startled awake, Meng Jingyin trembled uncontrollably, crying out that she knew nothing.

"Jingyin!!! You're insane!"

Meng Dongcheng was so angry he almost vomited blood. He never expected that the one who would betray him would be his own daughter.

"Dad! It's come to this! Just admit it! That way I can still be a pampered young lady, and I can still marry Brother Su Xing!"

"you!"

Meng Dongcheng raised his hand and slapped the pale, bloodless face.

"Meng Jingyin, do you know what you're saying? I raised you, fed you, and clothed you, and this is how you repay me!"

Meng Jingyin covered her swollen face, her eyes wide with disbelief, tears welling in her eyes, and shouted hoarsely, "Meng Dongcheng! How dare you slap me! Have you forgotten your promise to Mom?"

Do you think I don't know what you've been doing all these days? You betrayed Mom and even hit me!

Feeling humiliated by having his facade exposed, Meng Dongcheng looked at his daughter on the ground with disappointment.

"Jingyin, I never thought that spoiling you like this would actually harm you. I never expected that you would secretly harm Guodong and Brother Chen behind my back. Now you don't even recognize your own father!"

He lowered his head and sat down dejectedly. "I'm sorry, Brother Chen. It's all my daughter's fault, and my parenting was also problematic. I'm willing to accept any punishment."

Chen Chao didn't have time to watch them shirk responsibility. "In that case, let's send her into the zombie horde as well."

"No, please, Uncle Chen, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong! Jelly wasn't hurt, was she? Please let me go!"

The burly man in military uniform standing there frowned in embarrassment, wondering if he should knock the woman unconscious and carry her away.

Seeing the man step forward to drag her away, Meng Jingyin disregarded her image and grabbed the foot of the silent little girl. "Jelly! Jelly! It's me, Sister Ayin! Please help me! I know I was wrong, please save me! I'll never do it again!"

Ma Yang frowned. "Dada, get rid of her right now! She's so noisy, she's scaring my little Jelly!"

"No, don't..."

With a swift chop, the small office fell silent instantly.

Meng Dongcheng watched helplessly as his daughter was dragged away, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Ah Yin, even Dad can't save you anymore. I have to live. I'm going to tell them. You'll understand Dad, right?

The man who had just come to curry favor is now filled with regret. He's standing here, unsure whether to leave or stay.

Will he get dragged into this later?

"you!"

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Big brother, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have..."

"Shouldn't what?"

Ma Yang curled his lips, how come he admitted he was wrong!

"I... I shouldn't have sent women to the deputy base commander. I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again."

"Alright, you can get out now!"

"Yes, yes, thank you!"

Meng Dongcheng sat in his seat with a blank stare. This shouldn't be happening. He was about to succeed. He was about to become the base commander!

Why? Why did Ma Yang and the others come back? And who saved them?

Chen Chao held that cold little hand and asked gently, "Jelly, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry! I want to play with my older sister!"

The innocent, childish voice echoed in the office, and Meng Dongcheng immediately stood up, his voice trembling.

"Jelly, tell Uncle that you want to play with your sister, right? Then you should quickly ask your dad to bring your sister back. Once she's back, she can play with you!"

"No, I don't want to play with that wicked older sister. I want to play with the invincible, gentle, kind, cute, and beautiful fairy sister Ranran."

Chen Chao smiled and said, "Okay, let's go find your sister Ranran to play. Let's go!"

"It's not Sister Ranran, it's the invincible, gentle, kind, cute, and beautiful fairy, Sister Ranran."

"Yes, yes, yes! I wonder if they've come back yet."

The two walked ahead, with Ma Yang following closely behind.

"Xiaoyang! You can go back now, you don't need to stay with us."

"How can that be? Base Commander, don't worry, I'm doing this to protect Little Jelly, I won't cause any trouble."

Ma Yang's eyes were determined. Great! Now he could go to the boss openly and honestly, hahaha!

"Alright then!"

......

Lin Family Villa —

"Sis! Look at the glass room Dad renovated, it's amazing!"

Lin Anran was somewhat surprised; she had almost forgotten about the equally fragile glass room.

Opening the door, the entire glass room was surrounded by steel from the outside, and then surrounded by sponge inside the steel plate, leaving a small gap. All the flowers and plants in the room had been moved to one side.

"That should prevent it from breaking!"

Lin Anran closed her mouth, which had been agape in an "O" shape, and gave a big thumbs up.

"That's amazing!"

"Ranran! Ranran! Come down quickly! Jelly is here to play with you!"

Lin's mother stood at the top of the stairs on the first floor and shouted.

"They're here!"

Jelly saw the familiar figure and rushed over to hug the long, slender legs.

"Sister Ranran, have you been missing Guodong? Guodong misses you so much!"

Lin Anran smiled gently and rubbed the fluffy little head. "Of course, I want jelly too."

"Hmm? Which man is lurking around like a dog?"

Lin Yu spotted the man from that morning at a glance.

"Xiaoyu, how can you talk like that? He's Brother Chen Chao's friend."
