Chapter 430 Isn’t it all your fault?
Although the basement was dark and damp, even though the people outside were struggling for food, Shen Wan still had enough food for the Helian siblings.
No matter whether it is rice or meat, as long as I have it, they will definitely have a share.
Perhaps because the food was too delicious, Helian Changjun's sexy waist had become noticeably thicker over the past few days.
Seeing her brother's heartless appearance, Helian Bijun felt more and more headache.
If I had known this would happen, I would have found him a wife no matter what.
Now, this guy has no other hobbies except eating and making money.
Suddenly, there was a creaking sound and the half-worn wooden door was slowly opened.
When he looked up, he saw Shen Wan walking in with food.
Seeing that it was not Xie Lian, a hint of obvious disappointment flashed across Helian Bijun's clear eyes.
Ever since they moved into the basement, Xie Lian had been the one serving them tea and meals.
Every time he came, Helian Bijun deliberately turned her head away and ignored him.
In fact, she really hoped that he could coax her and hug her.
But Xie Lian had no idea about romance, and faced with Helian Bijun's indifference, he chose to remain silent.
As soon as Shen Wan entered the door, Helian Changjun ran over excitedly.
"I knew you were the best to me. You even brought me food when you came to see me!" He quickly took the food and said excitedly, "But the food is so good, aren't you worried that I won't want to leave?"
"I don't have to work and someone supports me. This is like a paradise."
Shen Wan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
She frowned and asked coldly, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"My sister and I have been here for some time. I want to ask when we can go back?" Helian Changjun asked vaguely after stuffing a mouthful of meat.
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan was immediately furious: "Do you still want to go back?"
"Why not?" Helian Changjun looked confused.
Foreign countries are his home.
If he doesn't go back to the foreign country, does he have to live in this dark basement forever?
He didn't care, but the problem was that it was inevitable that there would be many inconveniences for the brother and sister to live in the same room.
Helian Bijun was a mysophobe and had to wash and tidy up every day, forcing him to lie in bed and pretend to sleep.
Looking at his bewildered look, Shen Wan angrily twisted his ear and said, "Why can't you do that?"
"Ear, my ear, be gentle!" Helian Changjun screamed in pain, "Does Xie Mubai know that you are so rude?"
Definitely don’t know!
If he knew, it would be strange if the yandere prince dared to want her.
Helian Bijun felt a tightness in her heart when she saw it.
She was about to go forward to help, but stopped.
She could see that her brother had a very good relationship with this girl.
If things go wrong, with my brother's skills, he can easily take down this girl.
"Why do you care whether he knows or not!" Shen Wan yelled angrily, "Let me ask you, do you know how chaotic things have been outside these past few days?"
"In order to get some food, the people have lost their minds and even started arson and looting!"
When the Helian siblings heard this, their eyes widened in shock.
They have only lived in this basement for a few days, how come the weather outside suddenly changed?
"But what does this have to do with me?" Helian Changjun looked puzzled.
"You still dare to say it's okay?" Shen Wan sneered, and there was a strong sense of sarcasm between the lines. "Let me ask you, why did you sell explosives to Chen Jiu for no reason?"
Explosives?
Upon hearing these two words, Helian Bijun's eyes also turned red.
"Is what she said true?" She reached out and grabbed Helian Changjun's other ear, asking harshly.
Helian Changjun wanted to cry: "Auntie, please let go."
"If you don't let go, I'm going to turn into a boiled egg!"
Not to mention that he didn’t cry, even if he really cried out loud, Shen Wan and Helian Bijun would not let go.
"You deserve it!" Helian Bijun's face turned pale with anger. "Don't tell me you don't know what the current situation is between the foreign countries and the Wei Dynasty!"
"What if Chen Jiu took the explosives and used them against us?"
"We're already short of explosives, and yet you're selling them to Wei. You're clearly trying to destroy our foreign nation!"
"If Tuoba Yu knew about this, he would tear you into pieces."
Helian Changjun covered his ears with his hands, looking aggrieved.
"Even if I was wrong in this matter, I still did good things before," he pleaded pitifully. "The cotton and grain he sold us a few days ago were all from him."
He was too embarrassed to say that the price Chen Jiu offered was too high.
As a businessman, he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Besides, Chen Jiu was not a good person. He would never believe that the guy would use explosives to help the Wei army.
"You call this a good thing?" Shen Wan couldn't help but increase the strength of her hands when she heard it. "The Great Wei is short of food. You are secretly reselling food here. Do you know how many innocent people will starve to death?"
"Don't you want to know why the outside suddenly became like this?"
"Okay, I'll tell you! Chen Jiu used the explosives to blow up the mountain outside the city. Lanyang City is now an isolated city."
Upon hearing this, the Helian siblings were stunned.
"He...why did he do this?" Helian Changjun looked puzzled.
Those explosives are worth a lot of money.
I'll make a lot of money by making firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.
Now he suddenly takes out the trick of blasting the mountain. Is Chen Jiu crazy?
Shen Wan raised her eyebrows and sneered with contempt: “To sell grain at a high price!”
"The price of a pound of brown rice went from one penny to one ounce of silver!"
One tael of silver?
Even Helian Bijun was shocked when she heard the price.
She thought that Chen Jiu must have come from a bandit family.
This is not business at all, it's clearly robbery!
Lanyang City is already poor. At this rate, it won’t be long before the wallets of the city’s residents are emptied.
Of course, this is not the scariest thing.
The most terrifying thing is that they can't go back to foreign countries.
"Damn it!" Helian Changjun was so angry that he broke free from the two "devil's claws" upon hearing this. "Wan'er, just wait. I'm going to peel off his skin and pull out his tendons!"
He didn't care if Chen Jiu wanted to get rich, but he couldn't ignore it if it delayed his sister's return to the foreign country.
Helian Bijun is the backbone of the family. If she doesn't come back for a long time, who knows what kind of chaos the family will be in.
Shen Wan's face was gloomy, and her voice was cold without a trace of warmth: "I have killed him."
"Killed him?" Helian Changjun turned around suddenly and looked at her in astonishment. "You...you dare to kill someone?"
Shen Wan rolled her eyes and didn’t bother to pay attention to him.
I am a battlefield military doctor who crawled out of a pile of corpses. It is absolutely impossible to say that my hands have never been stained with blood.
If you don't take action, you and your comrades will be the ones to die.
"Then when can we leave Lanyang?" Helian Bijun was not interested in other things. What she cared about most was going home. "I guess you won't lock me up forever, right?"
If so, Xie Lian wouldn't have to risk the blazing fire to rescue her.
When she thought of Xie Lian, her heart began to ache again.
Shen Wan glanced at her and smiled slyly: “What if that person wants to keep you?”
