The family of three was absolutely furious!
Jiang Cheng's face turned as black as charcoal. Miao Fengxian and her daughter couldn't help but exchange a glance, a glint of light flashing in their eyes.
They came in a hurry, full of longing for a high-quality life, and left in a huff, filled with envy, jealousy and hatred towards Jiang Wan and all the owners of Yincheng Yazuo!
Jiang Wan let out a sigh of relief. It was rare for her to talk so much in one day; she was really tired!
However, after sweeping away the gloom of being wronged in her previous life, she felt quite refreshed!
She turned around, glanced at the neighbors who were still watching the show from their windows, and walked into Building 1 without expression.
The residents' group chat was buzzing again: "They didn't fight? Were those people really her parents and sister? They just left like that?"
"Yeah, they didn't fight. I thought there was going to be a big show!"
"I don't know what they said, but their faces didn't look good."
"That woman is quite shrewd; you can't tell anything from her face."
...
Jiang Wan glanced at it briefly, then went home to do housework in a good mood. Now the family of three basically eats, drinks, sleeps, and plays in one suite, so the cleanliness has to be kept up at all times.
As dusk approached, the doorbell rang. The two little ones had only been awake for a short while and were sitting side by side on the sofa drinking milk while talking on the phone with their good friend, Xiao Xuanxuan. Upon learning that Xiao Xuanxuan's family was not doing well, the two little ones were not in high spirits, and when they heard the doorbell ring, they were not as alert as before.
It wasn't until they saw the strange man enter the house that the two little ones belatedly realized they were facing a formidable enemy!
Cheng Zhen was actually quite puzzled as to why the twins were so hostile towards him.
Even if they aren't related by blood, he could at least be friends with their mother, right? It wouldn't be too much for them to call him "uncle," would it?
Why are they so polite to Yu Fen, but they immediately get angry when they're with him?
He couldn't figure it out, so he could only spend more time getting along with the twins. After all, there were still many things he would need to find the answers to through them!
So the first thing he did upon entering was to place the gifts he had brought for them in front of them.
A Barbie doll set, a complete set of transforming mechs, two boxes of milk, and a box of finger biscuits.
Everything you need for food, drinks, and entertainment is provided!
Jiang Wan was secretly amazed. It seemed that the city guards were treated very well. They gave her 250 crystal vouchers, and she still had spare vouchers to buy these things. This table full of things must be quite expensive!
The two little ones arrogantly chose to ignore him, nestled together on the sofa head to head watching cartoons on their iPads, each holding their little bottoms up to him.
Cheng Zhen touched his nose, not angry at all, and went to talk to Jiang Wan on the side.
"Yu Fen told me about what happened today. Are you alright?" He felt extremely guilty when he heard Yu Fen's report. He had promised to protect her and the children, but he had still failed in his duty!
Unfortunately, he had two important tasks to complete today, so he couldn't leave. As soon as he finished his tasks, he rushed over without stopping.
Jiang Wan shook her head: "It's nothing."
Having confirmed that the mother and her two children were truly unharmed, Cheng Zhen looked at her cool and aloof face and couldn't help but cough lightly: "What about what I mentioned before? Have you considered it?"
He had a feeling that what happened in the north of the city today was not so simple. Although he had not yet found out who was behind it, he knew that it was related to the previous talent hunting plan!
If he can find Jiang Wan, those people in the shadows can also find her.
Therefore, she is in great danger right now!
He had even planned it out on the way here: if she still didn't agree, he wouldn't mind using force and just locking her up in the military camp. That way, at least she would be under his nose, and her safety would be absolutely guaranteed!
Unlike now, when he's stuck outside the city doing a mission and she has something to do, he can't get there immediately.
Jiang Wan took a sip of water and said, "If I agree to your request, what direct benefits will I receive?"
She's not a saint. Talking to her about selfless dedication to the country and its people is pointless. All she cares about is surviving safely in this apocalyptic world with her twins.
Cheng Zhen was taken aback by this answer, but then breathed a sigh of relief: "If you agree to join us, you will be officially employed and enjoy the benefits of a senior researcher. Someone will introduce you to the details later."
Actually, he himself didn't know either.
"Also, we will be responsible for your personal safety 24 hours a day. If necessary, you will need to move out of here and keep your whereabouts confidential."
That wasn't what she wanted to know, so she simply asked, "What about them?"
She pointed to the twins.
Cheng Zhen immediately thought of Yu Fen's report: "...The ones who ordered those thugs were Jiang Wan's biological father, stepmother, and sister. Tsk, boss, this family is really ruthless. They'd disregard all family ties for a dilapidated house!"
He swallowed the words he was about to say, considered them for a moment, and cautiously replied, "I can help you apply to your superiors so that you can carry them with you at all times."
"Okay." Jiang Wan readily agreed, "As long as you can meet this requirement, I will agree to join you."
She didn't even ask what she was supposed to do.
But she also saw clearly what happened in the north of the city today. There were so many refugees at the time, but the city guards responsible for protecting those mining crystals were nowhere to be seen. If Yu Fen hadn't arrived in time, to be honest, she couldn't imagine what would have happened to her and the twins.
There's something fishy going on here, but neither Miao Fengxian nor Jiang Yushan, nor even Jiang Cheng, have that kind of ability.
If they did, why don't they have a place to live yet?
So this is the second thing she has to do today: agree to Cheng Zhen's request in exchange for conditions that would benefit her and the twins' survival in the apocalypse.
Cheng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving her confirmation. He immediately stood up to return to camp and report the matter so that protection for her could be implemented as soon as possible.
After all, his protection of her is only a personal act, and he belongs to the outer city guard, so he is not allowed to enter the city at will without an imperial edict.
A faint aroma wafted from the kitchen, making his stomach rumble loudly, echoing in the quiet living room.
The two little ones, who had already paused the cartoon, couldn't help but exchange a glance. The silly little sister covered her mouth and giggled, while the calm brother curled his lip and mocked.
The silly little sister, true to her nature, covered her mouth and laughed until she couldn't help but jump to the ground, one hand on her hip and the other pointing at him, laughing loudly: "Haha, such a big person and your stomach is growling, how embarrassing!"
Jiang Xiaoshu grabbed her little sister's hand and ran into the toy room, saying as they went, "Mommy, we're not hungry yet, we'll eat later!"
Anyway, I won't feed the weirdo!
Jiang Wan secretly raised her eyebrows. This really didn't sound like something the steady and composed Jiang Xiaoshu would say!
She shrugged at Cheng Zhen. The bone broth wasn't ready yet. Cheng Zhen swallowed and walked away expressionlessly.
Late at night, having finally persuaded his superiors, he returned to Yincheng Yazuo once again, but as soon as he stepped into the community, alarm bells went off in his mind!
