Beneath the Upper City

No one knows when it began—

But the world was split in two.

Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.

Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...

Chapter 98 I'm Not Worthy

Xu Ben also left.

Although only Huizi greeted Wen Xiuyuan, Wen Xiuyuan did not ask much about the people who left later.

"dad."

Wen Cai's expression was quite ugly: "What are you going to do?"

Wen Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows: "What for? You've come such a long way, I'll prepare a fine meal to treat you, is there any problem?"

Wen Cai clenched her fists.

Logically speaking, there is no problem.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a big problem here.

They have already reached the Dark Island Forest and only need to walk a few more steps to reach Area F18. Is it necessary to send so many cars to pick them up?

No need.

To put it bluntly, they came to Area F18 to seek refuge. Is it necessary to make such a big scene to welcome them?

There’s no need!

This table of exquisite dishes...

In fact, there is no need.

Because everyone knows that no one will pick up their chopsticks.

"Your name is Ning Fan?"

Wen Xiuyuan no longer gave Wen Cai the chance to lose her temper, but looked directly at Ning Fan.

Without waiting for Ning Fan's response, he continued, "Li Jiang... was killed by you?"

Ning Fan didn't say anything, but his pupils trembled slightly.

Wen Cai, on the other hand, became excited.

"Dad! What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Xiao Cai, I'm chatting with your friend!"

Wen Xiuyuan said softly: "If you're not hungry, why don't you go out for a walk?"

"I……"

"Sister Cai, it's okay."

Ning Fan pulled Wen Cai's wrist and smiled at her, "I want to talk to your father."

Wen Cai looked at Ning Fan worriedly.

Ning Fan added, "After all, it was me who brought you out of Area F27. He has to be assured."

Wen Cai glared at Wen Xiuyuan: "Dad, Ning Fan saved me!"

"I know."

Wen Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I'm just a researcher. I don't know how to fight. How can I hurt him?"

Wen Cai could probably guess what Wen Xiuyuan was going to say to Ning Fan next.

But since Ning Fan said it was okay, she felt relieved about him.

Wen Cai left.

Ning Fan turned around, closed the door, and sat opposite Wen Xiuyuan.

What surprised Wen Xiuyuan was that Ning Fan actually picked up the chopsticks and started eating the delicious dishes.

Even those guys could see that this meal wasn't worth eating, but this kid...

"Li Jiang is dead."

Ning Fan chewed the meat: "I killed it."

Wen Xiuyuan's smile disappeared, and he gradually narrowed his eyes: "The special medicine in Area F32..."

"I stole it, too."

Ning Fan decisively admitted: "I was the one who killed everyone in the Seventh Squadron of the Three Unification Cooperation Zone."

Ning Fan picked up a few more pieces of meat and put them into his mouth. "And the chaos in Area F27 was also caused by me."

Wen Xiuyuan stared at Ning Fan and didn't say anything for a long time.

Ning Fan looked up: "Anything else you want to ask?"

"Are you doing this to save my daughter?"

Wen Xiuyuan finally spoke.

Ning Fan shook his head: "Not entirely, I stole the medicine to save my mother..."

Having said this, Ning Fan paused.

"But my mother is missing."

Wen Xiuyuan was stunned.

Ning Fan took a few more bites before putting down his chopsticks.

"Mr. Wen."

After Ning Fan swallowed the meat in his mouth, he sat up straight and looked at Wen Xiuyuan: "Thank you for the expense, and thank you for the hospitality."

Wen Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, better than the fine food at my home."

Ning Fan nodded: "I understand the meaning of this meal."

"What do you understand?"

"You're telling me I'm unworthy."

Ning Fan smiled: "There's a huge gap between me and Sister Cai."

"Then what?"

"Nothing happened. Believe it or not, the relationship between Sister Cai and I is not what you think. At least in my opinion, we are friends."

Ning Fan shrugged his shoulders. "The first person who left was Huizi. He asked me on the way if I liked Sister Cai. I thought about it all the way, but I really couldn't figure it out."

"You don't like my daughter?"

Wen Xiuyuan was a little unhappy.

But Ning Fan smiled and shook his head: "Sister Cai is very good, beautiful, generous, and has such a distinguished family background. If you must find fault with her, well... it's just that she has a bit of a bad temper."

"So, you don't have any feelings for her?"

"Not yet."

Ning Fan said seriously, "I can't guarantee it in the future."

Wen Xiuyuan laughed jokingly: "So, whether you two will be together or not depends on your attitude in the future."

"Mr. Wen, do you want me to be with her, or do you not want me to be with her?"

Ning Fan asked back.

Wen Xiuyuan restrained his smile: "What do you think?"

"I don't think so."

Ning Fan tightened his nose: "Actually, now that I think about it, it was me who didn't understand it before."

"I first met Sister Cai on the black market. She was in the weapon spirit extraction business. I haven't seen this kind of business in other districts. Her equipment must have been researched by Mr. Wen, right?"

Wen Xiuyuan didn't answer.

Ning Fan didn't insist, but continued, "Later, I stayed at Sister Cai's house for a few days."

Wen Xiuyuan's face immediately darkened.

Fortunately, Ning Fan quickly reassured him: "It's just a normal stay, nothing else."

Wen Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ning Fan added, "Although Sister Cai is the captain of the Monitor, her living place is so nice. She can cook, take a shower, and it's clean and tidy. This kind of house... doesn't seem like something a Monitor captain can afford."
