Chapter 103 Meeting the Leader
Wen Youheng explained: "I'm not from Shuxin Lane, but Brother Li has done me a favor. I work under him now, and Le An is here too."
Shao Leyan finally understood the purpose of Wen Youheng taking her to see Brother Li, and asked excitedly, "Since you are all together, can I go too?"
Wen Youheng sighed, "I had this plan originally, but Xing Lu got involved, and it's not that simple anymore."
After Wen Youheng's explanation, Shao Leyan finally had a basic understanding of the power distribution in the Chiyan District.
Fang Di, the leader of the Chiyan District, was abandoned by her husband before she awakened her hypnotic ability. Since then, she has hated men. After overthrowing the previous leader, she selected Li Shu and Xing Lu as second-in-command.
Li Shu is in charge of internal affairs, mainly responsible for various affairs in the Chiyan District; Xing Lu is in charge of external affairs, responsible for the protection of the Chiyan District and negotiations with several other cities.
In addition, Fang Di has two close confidants.
The flying ability user Xie Miao and the healing ability user Yu Xin.
When the Li siblings rescued Fang Di from the fire, it was Yu Xin who saved her. It can be said that Yu Xin is Fang Di's most trusted confidant, and the two are almost inseparable.
Wen Youheng could be said to have told everything he knew without reservation. Shao Leyan listened silently and thought carefully in his heart.
"Tell me, when it comes to healing ability, who is better, me or Yu Xin?"
Wen Youheng was stunned in surprise, obviously not expecting Shao Leyan, who was listening so attentively, to ask such a question.
"Yu Xin is Fang Di's personal therapist. I've never seen her save anyone, and I don't know what her abilities are. But since Fang Di has taken a liking to her, I think she must be very capable."
After Wen Youheng finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly realize something and added another sentence.
"Of course, you are also great. Xing Lu's man was seriously injured. If it weren't for you, he might not be alive.
But tonight."
Shao Leyan suddenly laughed.
Wen Youheng was stunned, his face turned even redder, and he also grinned.
"You...what are you laughing at?"
"You added this because you're afraid I'll be sad."
Wen Youheng pursed his lips and did not respond.
But silence is also an answer.
Shao Leyan was afraid that he would become completely familiar with him soon, so he stopped teasing him and changed the subject again.
"But I don't think Xing Lu took this so-called pet seriously at all. Her eyes stayed on him for less than half a minute from beginning to end. I think she made such a fuss today just to make things difficult for Li Shu."
Wen Youheng pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Relationships in the apocalypse are fragile, and Xing Lu isn't a loyal person. If you hadn't rescued her, she might have found a new love soon. Right now, she's interested in you, but don't worry, Brother Li and I will keep Xing Lu under control. Just in case, you'd better not go out recently."
After becoming a thorn in Xing Lu's side, Shao Leyan never left the house again in order not to cause trouble for Wen Youheng.
Staying at home means three days.
It wasn't until the fourth day that Wen Youheng, who was supposed to be at work, suddenly showed up at home with a frown on his face.
"Le Yan, the leader is back and she wants to see you."
Shao Leyan looked panicked, but his heart was full of excitement.
She knew that her chance had finally come.
Shao Leyan held Wen Youheng's hand, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the door of a magnificent villa.
She looked up at the three-story villa in front of her, and with her sharp eyes she noticed a figure suddenly disappearing from the window of the second room on the left side of the third floor.
If she guessed correctly, that person was the tough opponent she was about to face.
Wen Youheng tightened his grip, waited for Shao Leyan to look at him, then put his other hand on her shoulder and pressed down hard.
"Le Yan, when you meet the leader later, try to speak as little as possible. Do whatever she tells you to do, and don't do anything else."
Shao Leyan smiled and nodded, "I understand."
Wen Youheng was conflicted. After hesitating for a few minutes, he still stood at the door, not having the courage to go in.
He even thought about taking Shao Leyan away from the Chiyan District and never coming back.
But if they angered Fang Di, they could only live in fear of hiding from place to place. His grandmother was too old to bear the hardship, and he could not bear to let Shao Leyan face the unknown crisis, but he could not make up his mind.
Shao Leyan saw his worries and confusion, opened his arms, stepped forward and embraced him in his arms.
"Don't worry about me. I'm so strong, nothing will happen to me."
Wen Youheng pursed his lips and said nothing, but silently tightened his arms in the hug.
At this moment, a mechanical female voice without a trace of emotion came from the monitor at the door.
"Now that you're here, come in quickly. Everyone is waiting."
Wen Youheng immediately restrained his outward emotions, listened to the "creaking" sound of the door slowly opening, and strode into Fang Di's territory with Shao Leyan with an expressionless face.
They walked through the desolate front yard, passed through the spacious living room on the first floor, and climbed the stairs to the second floor, then rushed to the third floor without stopping.
Shao Leyan spotted Fang Di among the crowd at a glance.
The reason was simple, it was just that she was surrounded by Li Shu, Xing Lu and others, and she was the only person sitting there.
Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wen Youheng coming over. He turned to look at Fang Di and said with a smile, "Chief, they are here."
Fang Di nodded slightly, "I have eyes."
Li Shu choked, smiled awkwardly, gave Wen Youheng a look that said "I wish you good luck", and chose to shut his mouth.
Fang Di was not an easy person to talk to. Shao Leyan felt nervous inside, but he did not show it on his face.
Wen Youheng blocked most of his body in front of Shao Leyan, like a hen protecting her chicks. Fang Di ran out of patience and waved at him.
"Xiao Wen, there's nothing for you to do here, you can leave."
"Chief," Wen Youheng said, his tone and posture extremely respectful, "Le Yan is my girlfriend, please allow me to accompany her."
Shao Leyan widened her eyes in surprise, but thinking that Wen Youheng must have lied for her sake, and afraid that he would be exposed in front of the leader, she simply hugged his arm and pretended to be a weak little white flower.
Fang Di chuckled, "I just wanted to test her ability, not to kill her. Xiao Wen, you don't have to be so nervous."
Wen Youheng pursed his lips into a straight line. No one knew how agitated he was at the moment, but if he insisted on going against the leader, it would not be good for Shao Leyan.
After figuring it out, he turned around and hugged Shao Leyan tightly, patted her back soothingly, then walked to the side and leaned against the wall, silently watching everything that was about to happen.
The warm embrace seemed to be just an illusion. Shao Leyan breathed a sigh of relief and mustered up the courage to look Fang Di in the face.
When Fang Di saw Wen Youheng leave, she raised her chin towards the tall and thin woman on her right.
The woman reluctantly walked to Shao Leyan's side and faced the public's gaze with her.
At this time, Xing Lu, who had been silent all the time, threw two things at them. Shao Leyan dodged in time and was not hit. She lowered her head and took a closer look, and found that they were two palm-length daggers.
