The American soldier was so startled by her calling him "uncle" that he took several steps back, his face covered in mud and dirt, filled with terror. He waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Don't call me that! I'm not your uncle!"
The room fell silent for a moment, with Jiang Wan, Cheng Zhen, and Mi Mang all looking at him in confusion.
Outside, the furious couple was pounding on the door: "Open the door! Open the door for me! Mi Mang, you little bitch, get out here! You better stay inside and die for the rest of your life!"
Inside the room, the three of them blocked out the noise, wondering to themselves, "Is he not a U.S. soldier?"
The man's face and body were filthy, making it impossible to see what he originally looked like. However, Cheng Zhen was certain that he was Mi Jun, otherwise his portal to time and space would not have been able to find him!
Jiang Wan had a lot of questions, but the smell in the room was just too awful. It wasn't so bad when the door was open, but now that the door was closed, the temperature was nauseating.
She held back Mi Mang, who was excitedly trying to rush up to acknowledge his relatives, and said to Cheng Zhen, "Go and wash him up."
She just couldn't take it anymore!
Cheng Zhen looked surprised. He was a dignified captain of the city guard. Even before the apocalypse, he was a majestic figure. He had never done anything like serving others.
Seeing that he didn't move, Jiang Wan asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
She pointed to herself and Mi Mang, "Or, who do you think is more suitable for me?"
Cheng Zhen resignedly picked up Mi Jun and threw him into the bathtub like a chick. He impatiently scolded the struggling Mi Jun, "What are you yelling about? You're so dirty and smelly, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
The US soldiers were taken aback; it was indeed very smelly and dirty.
"You may not feel uncomfortable, but you're making others smell bad!" Cheng Zhen adjusted the water temperature and ran the water for him irritably. Mi Jun lowered his head, sniffed, and then silently began to take off his clothes.
Cheng Zhen: "Hey, you're not stupid, are you?"
Outside, the door was still being pounded on loudly. Mi Mang was on the verge of collapse from the repeated blows. Jiang Wan noticed this. She didn't think she, as an outsider, could handle this kind of thing, but these two were really too noisy!
So she flung open the door, only to be met with two hands coming at her. She shifted her upper body to the side, raised a foot, and kicked the woman out: "So noisy!"
It was the middle of the night, and the entire building and even the whole neighborhood was very quiet, which made their noise all the more apparent. There were even echoes in the dark night, and it was unknown how many people were secretly spying or eavesdropping.
Jiang Wan suddenly felt a little sorry for Mi Mang. She was already an adult, but she had to be scolded and accused by her own parents in front of everyone as if they had stripped her naked. How could she bear it?
She's a public servant, after all. How is she supposed to behave in front of everyone after this?
The woman fell flat on her back on the ground and immediately cried out, "Ouch!"
The man was enraged when he saw his woman being kicked like that, and he raised his hand to slap Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan flicked the rattan whip in her hand, cracking his palm open. The excruciating pain forced him to pull his hand back.
Jiang Wan coldly pressed, "Bullying the weak?"
He flicked the whip again, it cracked loudly in the air, and shouted, "Get out of here!"
The man was in excruciating pain in his hand, which was bleeding profusely. He didn't have the courage to continue facing Jiang Wan.
The woman, however, was unwilling to give up. She got up from the ground, pointed angrily at Mi Mang, and cursed, "You ingrate! You saw your old mother being beaten, and you just stood by and watched, laughing at her? You ingrate! It seems I was absolutely right to call you that!"
"You'd better come with me right now, don't be ungrateful! Captain Ye is such a good person, so many women would love to get close to him but can't, you know that! You've hit the jackpot, Captain Ye has taken a liking to you!"
"You're going tonight whether you like it or not! Otherwise, I'll break your legs!" she yelled, trying to grab him.
Jiang Wan lashed her leg with the whip, causing her excruciating pain. She tripped and fell to the ground again.
A cold killing intent flashed through her mind, and suddenly countless sharp barbs appeared on the vine whip. With one lash, the woman's thick cotton pants and the thermal underwear underneath were torn apart, and blood instantly seeped out.
The pain seemed to be delayed; she froze for a moment before clutching her legs and screaming, "Ah!"
Jiang Wan, who had initially been indifferent and unconcerned, was enraged by her shamelessness and cold-bloodedness: "Did you pick up Mi Mang?"
They don't seem like biological parents at all. Oh no, even if they were adoptive parents, other families would have been much more responsible than them, like her own.
The woman's anger surged with each wave of pain. She glared venomously at Mi Mang, blaming everything on her. Hearing Jiang Wan's question, she blurted out, "Pah! Where did this bitch come from! What business is it of yours to interfere in my family's affairs? You just wait! I'll show you what happens when you offend me!"
Jiang Wan had a rattan whip wrapped around her hand, wondering how to bring this stubborn woman, who seemed to grow stronger with each beating, to her senses. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past, and Cheng Zhen strode out, grabbing one of them in each hand. He walked briskly into the stairwell, then with a flick of his wrist, threw them both down without hesitation!
In the quiet stairwell, a loud commotion suddenly erupted, with the sound of a body rolling down the stairs, followed by the painful cries of two people.
Judging from the noise, these two are definitely going to end up with broken arms and legs.
Mi Mang let out a long breath and bowed deeply to Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen: "Thank you."
But the smile that used to grace her face was gone, and her eyes were no longer lively. She looked somewhat dull, as if the Mi Mang of the past had died from this moment on.
She reached out and closed the door, then sat on the living room sofa and waited.
As soon as their door closed, a commotion erupted outside. People who had been eavesdropping in the shadows began to whisper among themselves. Some laughed, some expressed regret, some were indignant and wanted to find an opportunity to teach the Mi family a lesson, while others remained indifferent.
Of course, some people were eager to try it out, such as those who happened to listen to the entire performance of Miao Fengxian and Jiang Yushan.
"Mom, did you hear that? Their family actually got involved with the city guards! And one of them is even a captain!"
In the darkness, Jiang Yushan's eyes gleamed. She had already found out that Jiang Wan had hooked up with nothing more than a squad leader, and it was said that he had a terrible character, a terrible temper, and extremely poor interpersonal relationships. He had been stuck in the position of squad leader for nearly ten years without moving up, and he really had no future!
Because she had witnessed Cheng Zhen's furious outburst firsthand, which was terrifying to look at, she had no doubt whatsoever about the results she had found out.
Hmph, what good is being handsome, cool, and having a great physique? Even that bitch Jiang Wan will have to suffer for it!
Miao Fengxian's eyes also gleamed with a calculating light as she nodded: "Hmm, I heard that. Surname Ye? Could it be the captain who's been coming to our neighborhood lately to help maintain order?"
