Chapter 5: Robbery
Her parents-in-law disliked her for not being able to capture Xiao Yi's heart and for not even being able to have a child after eight years of marriage.
Not to mention Xiao Yi, he never looked at her straight in the eye from beginning to end, his heart was tied to Fu Yue, he never even touched her, so how could he have a child?
Now in this strange world, someone praised her generously when they first met. It might have been just a polite remark, but to Shao Leyan it was a gesture of kindness.
People who have never enjoyed warmth will actively approach as soon as they see a little flame.
"Thank you, your name is very nice too."
Fu Xingyan chuckled, still looking dignified and elegant, even more noble and gentlemanly than those rich young masters in Shao Leyan's world.
Shao Leyan avoided Fu Xingyan's gaze, and her lowered cheeks flushed slightly.
Old Li, who was watching from the sidelines, took all these tricks into consideration and was about to offer an assist when an impatient question exploded from behind him.
"Now that you've found the car, why don't you return to the main group?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Shao Leyan felt as if he was in hell.
The pain in the neck is deeply rooted in the heart, and encountering related people or things will automatically trigger that brief and painful memory.
Fu Xingyan keenly noticed Shao Leyan's abnormality, and stepped in front of her with his long legs to block her from Lu Chuchen's scrutiny.
"Since the problem is with the underground car, it has nothing to do with the central city. If you feel that we have delayed your time, you can leave first."
"I do want to, but if something goes wrong on the way, how am I going to explain it to City Lord Fu and Jiaojiao?"
Fu Xingyan was choked by these words, and his reliable image of being at ease just now collapsed.
All his weaknesses were exposed, forcing him to give up resistance and surrender.
Fu Xingyan turned around, bent over, and looked at Shao Leyan who was sitting in the passenger seat.
"What does your brother look like? I'll send someone to look for him."
Without Fu Xingyan's figure blocking his view, Lu Chuchen could clearly see the people in the car. His already big eyes widened into a circle, making him look like a rabbit.
"Why is it you?"
Shao Leyan explained the matter again and tacitly agreed to the claim of healing abilities.
Lu Chuchen frowned, his brain working fast.
"Something's wrong. Even Bing Shan, a high-level healing psychic, couldn't revive a dead man with a cut throat. I'm afraid your psychic ability isn't that simple."
This coincided with Fu Xingyan's idea, and he agreed with it.
"It might be a new discovery even more powerful than the healing ability. It's definitely worth studying."
Research value?
Shao Leyan glanced at Fu Xingyan.
The inquiry and interest hidden in the other person's eyes made her feel uncomfortable.
She felt like she was lying naked on the operating table in the hospital, waiting for the doctor to manipulate her body at will.
Ever since her eyes were gouged out, she has had a deep-seated fear of doctors.
Lu Chuchen stared at Shao Leyan's expression, and seeing that he was trembling with fear, he patted Fu Xingyan's shoulder with an ambiguous tone.
"Just think about it. Don't target innocent people. The zombies we captured this time are enough for you to study for a while."
Fu Xingyan frowned, dissatisfied with Lu Chuchen interrupting his thoughts, but it was undeniable that he was right.
Shao Leyan is a person with superpowers, and the selection of superpower experimental subjects must be done with extreme caution.
He has yet to have the opportunity to thoroughly study a person with special abilities.
To be more precise, before he met Shao Leyan, who had special abilities, there had been no experimental subjects with special abilities that suited his taste.
For a moment, the four people were silent, each with their own thoughts.
The silent atmosphere was broken by a light voice.
"Hey! Yanyan, why are there so many people gathered here?"
Le An's voice was like a divine voice from heaven. Shao Leyan, who was still worried that he would become the subject of research a second ago, was now completely relieved.
"Brother, why did you come back just now?"
Le An smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with this place and I took several wrong turns."
Shao Leyan didn't mean to blame him at all, he was just venting his dissatisfaction of being abandoned.
"It's okay, as long as you come back safely."
Le An nodded and turned his gaze to the two male protagonists.
Fu Xingyan resumed his reserved and aloof demeanor and nodded slightly at Le An.
"Fu Xingyan."
Le An also generously introduced himself, "Le An."
"I need your car. I can exchange it for supplies, but rather than daily necessities, I still want to ask if you are interested in joining the dungeon?"
Shao Leyan didn't expect that Fu Xingyan was serious. He winked at Le An, fearing that he would get carried away and agree to the male protagonist's invitation without thinking.
Le An slapped his thigh excitedly.
"Of course. To be honest, Yanyan and I are tired of the wandering life and want to find a place to stay. Mr. Fu is really a timely help!"
Shao Leyan held his forehead helplessly.
But she wasn't the only one who disagreed with the proposal.
Lu Chuchen said solemnly, "If you're looking for a place to stay, the Central City is more suitable for you and your sister. After all, the Underground City is mainly used for scientific research and storage of supplies, which is not suitable for your special abilities."
"But the Central City is vast and rich in resources. Even low-level psychics can find a way to survive."
"laugh!"
A disdainful sneer suddenly interrupted Lu Chuchen's words.
Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Fu Xingyan clenched his fist, put it to his lips and coughed lightly, making a useless cover-up.
Lu Chuchen asked coldly, "Director, do you think what I said is funny?"
"I just think your trickery is better than mine."
"you!"
Lu Chuchen gritted his teeth, but calmed down after seeing Fu Xingyan's calm face.
Le An quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Peace is the most important thing for everyone. What you said makes sense. I'll discuss it with my younger sister and give you an answer."
Lu Chuchen had a sullen face and remained silent, but Fu Xingyan smiled and nodded.
Only after they were far away did Shao Leyan dare to say a few more words.
"These two male protagonists are not easy to deal with. One has killed me, and the other wants to study me. Can I not go with them?"
Le An did not answer. He lowered his eyes and looked at the hole and blood on Shao Leyan's shoulder, feeling sad and uncomfortable.
"I found that you would get hurt whenever I wasn't by your side. What kind of metaphysics is this?"
"It was Old Li who mistook me for a zombie, that's not a big deal. But that Fu Xingyan must be related to Fu Xingchen, the one you asked me to capture. Are they brothers or uncle and nephew?"
“They are twin brothers who look exactly the same.
Fu Xingchen is the eldest brother and the lord of the underground city, while Fu Xingyan is the younger brother and the director of the underground city's supernatural research institute.
Fu Xingyan is aloof and aloof, with very little empathy. His brother, on the other hand, is the typical dad-type boyfriend, full of security, and more suitable for a woman like you who lacks love but is a people-pleasing type.
