Banxia frowned, but before she could speak, Li Kongyuan sternly stopped Zhou Wen: "Zhou Wen! Do you know what nonsense you're spouting!"

Zhou Wen bit her lip in resentment and whispered in protest, "Banxia and Nanxing don't have any children..."

Banxia almost laughed in anger, and sneered, "We don't have children, but what does that have to do with you? How dare you, a complete stranger, make decisions for us?"

If they want to raise children, wouldn't they just have them themselves?

The reason they don't have children is simply because the timing isn't right. They don't even want to raise their own children, so why should they raise other people's children?

Don't just say the child is pitiful; in this world, how many people aren't pitiful?

Zhou Wen looked at Banxia with a mixture of shock and sadness: "You and Nanxing are orphans, you know how hard it is for orphans, why are you unwilling to adopt a child who is also an orphan? Besides, you have a big villa to live in, you have plenty of food and drink, raising a child would be a piece of cake for you."

Banxia was too lazy to reason with Zhou Wen, because it was simply impossible to make sense.

She looked directly at Li Kongyuan: "We agreed beforehand that we wouldn't be responsible for rescuing survivors. If you go back on your word, Nanxing and I will leave immediately!"

Li Kongyuan quickly apologized to the two: "Banxia, ​​Nanxing, don't worry, no one can force you to adopt an orphan if you don't want to!"

Nanxing, his face dark, grabbed Banxia's hand and said, "I'll bring the child to you right away!"

The two quickly left with the gold, and within two minutes, Nanxing coldly shoved the child into Li Kongyuan's arms.

Li Kongyuan stared at the quiet, non-crying child. In his more than 30 years of life, he had never held such a soft little thing before, and his arms were as stiff as if he were holding a bomb.

After a while, he asked Zhou Wen for help, somewhat helplessly: "Xiao Zhou, I remember you took care of my nephew before, can you hold him?"

Zhou Wen wiped away her tears and reluctantly took the child into her arms.

Li Kongyuan sighed deeply and said earnestly, "Xiao Zhou, you weren't like this before. Why did you say those things today?"

Zhou Wen is always meticulous and thoughtful in her work, which is why she is highly regarded by the bureau and was able to rise to the position of deputy director of the security bureau at a young age.

Zhou Wen wiped away her tears, feeling wronged: "We only have six compressed biscuits and six bottles of water a day. We're so hungry that our stomachs are acidic and we're so thirsty that our mouths are parched. Banxia and Nanxing live in a villa of more than 1,000 square meters, and even their cats and dogs are well-fed and healthy."

"They're doing so well, they have the ability to help others, what's wrong with me advising them to adopt a child?"

Li Kongyuan said seriously, "So what? Did they spend a penny of your money on their food and drink? I think Banxia is right to scold you. How dare you be so shameless?!"

Zhou Wen stubbornly said, "It didn't cost me a single penny, but Nan Xing can easily earn hundreds of millions for a single movie. What contribution has he made to the people? Why does he deserve so much money? His money comes from the people! Now that the people are in trouble, he should give it to them!"

Li Kongyuan stared at the hysterical Zhou Wen as if he didn't recognize her anymore, or as if he had just realized her true colors: "Zhou Wen, private property is sacred and inviolable! Did you waste your education?!"

"Nanxing and Banxia do charity work every year, and they even risk their lives to send back news about the zombies. If that doesn't count as contributing to the people, then what does? Don't think you're so great just because you killed a few zombies!"

He always thought that celebrities were just attention-seeking, but after reading Nanxing's information, he had to admire him and Banxia.

Yes, I admire Nanxing more than just.

If Banxia hadn't supported him, how could Nanxing have donated money to charity without any scruples? How could he have returned to China without hesitation with news of the zombies?

Zhou Wen downplayed the issue, saying, "Who doesn't know that celebrities do charity work just for publicity? If they were really that kind, why wouldn't they agree to adopt a child?"

Li Kongyuan laughed in anger: "You personally investigated Nanxing's information. I won't say anything else, but answer me, in the two months before the apocalypse, did they really donate hundreds of millions of supplies?"

Zhou Wen was unwilling, but she couldn't lie through her teeth: "Yes."

When the higher-ups received the zombie videos sent back by the two, they were divided into three factions: one faction thought the two had lost their minds and were playing a prank; another faction believed it was a conspiracy and that the two wanted to create chaos; and the third faction believed it without hesitation.

Regardless of their disagreements, they tacitly agreed to thoroughly investigate the two individuals' records from childhood to adulthood, down to what they ate and drank while in the orphanage.

The couple's extravagant purchase of supplies and donations to orphanages and welfare homes was thoroughly investigated until it was confirmed that the supplies had indeed been distributed to the orphanages. Only then did the pranksters and conspiracy theorists set aside their prejudices and decide to personally meet with Nanxing.

Li Kongyuan glanced at Zhou Wen with indifferent eyes, as if looking at a monster wearing the skin of "Zhou Wen": "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. If you dare to use the child's matter to morally blackmail Nanxing and Banxia again, don't blame me for not showing any mercy. You'll be dealt with according to military law!"

Banxia and Nanxing had no idea that Zhou Wen and Li Kongyuan had a big fight after they left.

Banxia handed a damp handkerchief to Nanxing: "Wipe your sweat. Did Li Kongyuan give you any trouble?"

Nanxing casually wiped the sweat from her neck: "No, I just gave him the baby, the formula, and the bottle and came back."

The adults' fight had nothing to do with the children; the two of them took back the formula and bottles without hesitation.

"Waaaaah—"

Jinzi lowered its head and buried its head under its paws, not daring to look up at Banxia and Nanxing.

After its mutation, its intelligence was similar to that of a teenager. Having lived with humans since childhood, it could understand 99% of human speech. Knowing that its hobby of picking up things had caused trouble for its older siblings, it felt extremely guilty.
