Cheng Zhen frowned, realizing that the place was not safe. He gave Yu Fen a wink, and then nimbly followed Jiang Wan and the others into the car.
Although the mother and her two children all possessed supernatural abilities, how could they possibly be a match for Cheng Zhen?
By the time Jiang Wan came to her senses, Cheng Zhen had already closed and locked the car door. Then, he smiled at her and asked with a laugh, "Are you driving? Or should I?"
Jiang Wan, holding the twins, said calmly, "You drive."
If she went to drive, leaving the twins to confront him, that would be truly dangerous!
Cheng Zhen was not surprised. He took a long stride, sat in the driver's seat, started the car skillfully, and drove away.
Jiang Wan frowned at him, and out of the corner of her eye she suddenly caught sight of the crowd outside the window. They had clearly been lying on the ground, but now they were swaying and standing up again.
She was shocked. Hadn't they already strangled that mutated spider lily?
As if knowing what she was thinking, Cheng Zhen explained gently:
"There are many more mutated plants here than just the few we killed. Otherwise, do you think those few small mutated plants could have the ability to control the entire population of the Guoya District?"
"Don't worry, Yu Fen will contact my subordinates, and they will bring people to wipe them out. The apocalypse has just begun, and these mutated plants don't have much energy yet, so they are nothing to fear."
Jiang Wan didn't understand, so she simply shut up; she didn't really want to talk to him.
Cheng Zhen wasn't embarrassed and focused on driving.
For a moment, only the pitiful sobs of the two little ones could be heard inside the car, each sob accompanied by a hiccup.
Jiang Wan felt heartbroken and continued to soothe them, gently coaxing, "Don't cry, Mom promises to respect your opinions."
Her voice and tone were gentler than she had ever been before.
The two little ones cried even harder, sob, "Mommy didn't say she definitely wouldn't send them away!"
Jiang Wan's head was also throbbing. She couldn't help but reach up and pinch her brow. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and growled, "Shut up! Stop crying!"
The crying stopped abruptly.
The two little ones opened their pitiful little round eyes, stopped crying, and started sobbing, but the fear and sadness of being abandoned were gone from their faces. Instead, they had a relieved little expression.
Then, they hugged their mother on either side and said in unison in their childish voices, "Mommy, Mommy, don't be angry anymore. We won't cry. Mommy, please don't send us away, okay?"
Jiang Wan's head throbbed even more. She rubbed her throbbing temples hard before letting out a breath and calmly promising, "Okay."
The two little ones were finally relieved and sat obediently on either side of her, their curious little eyes occasionally glancing towards the driver's seat.
Cheng Zhen overheard the unusual way the mother and her two children interacted and couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror again and again.
At the same time, her brow furrowed involuntarily. Judging from this, it seems that these twins really weren't born to her?
But how could that be!
He was absolutely certain that in his thirty years of life, she was the only woman he had ever been with!
Are these twins not his children?
That's unbelievable!
They look exactly like him, their little faces are full of survival instinct, it's like they've blatantly carved "My dad is Cheng Zhen" on their faces!
It's hard for him to believe that it's not his child!
So, what happened to them in these three years that he didn't know about?
Cheng Zhen was extremely annoyed. The person was in Xiangcheng, right under his nose, and he hadn't known at all!
As the car drove past Guoya Private Kindergarten, the little girl, who had been feeling quite dejected all day, finally jumped up and exclaimed, "Where's Xiao Xuanxuan! How could I have forgotten about Xiao Xuanxuan!"
Cheng Zhen couldn't help but glance at the little girl in the rearview mirror.
Jiang Xiaoxin originally wanted him to stop the car, but as soon as she met his gaze, she immediately shrank back and dared not make a sound.
Jiang Wan reassured her, "Xiao Xuanxuan and the others will be alright. The doctor will come to save them soon."
"oh."
Jiang Xiaoxin nestled in her mother's warm embrace, her little eyes continuing to peek at the man in the driver's seat every now and then.
She seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help but tilt her little head up and ask her mother, "When is this strange uncle leaving?"
"Cough cough!" The silly child's loud voice made Cheng Zhen choke on his own saliva.
Seeing that they had already left the Guoya District, he found a place to park the car, then turned around and reached out to rip the smartwatches off the two children's wrists.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Jiang Wan exclaimed in shock and anger, immediately shielding the twins.
Cheng Zhen removed the magnetic card from the smartwatch, opened the window and threw it out, then asked her, "Do you know how we found you?"
Jiang Wan wasn't ignorant; she frowned and asked, "Phone location tracking?"
“Yes.” Cheng Zhen nodded.
Jiang Wan suddenly realized that, in order to avoid Jiang Cheng finding her, she had long ago set her phone to Do Not Disturb mode and then put it in the Tree Hole Space for safekeeping.
So, because her phone was placed in the tree hole space, its signal was directly blocked, making it impossible for others to locate her.
I was so bored today that I just charged their smartwatches and then turned them on to play with them.
Cheng Zhen then got to the point and asked, "Where are you staying now?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Wan was very wary. "What do you want to do?"
Cheng Zhen showed her the list again, "Of the botanists on this list, including you, there are only two still alive."
As he spoke, his jawline unconsciously clenched.
Jiang Wan then realized that this man was indeed quite good-looking. In fact, compared to the twins, their biological father's appearance was definitely not bad either.
With a chiseled face, thin lips, a high nose, thick eyebrows, and double eyelids, he exudes a domineering aura when he's not smiling. His earlobes are clearly defined, making it clear that he is a man with a very strong personality.
Her attention was momentarily drawn to his good looks, and it took her a while to return to the list: "What do you mean? You mean, of these people, only two are left?"
Cheng Zhen didn't intend to hide it from her. He could tell that she was somewhat averse to the identity of a botanist. Although he didn't understand why, he figured she was probably also averse to plant research. Since that was the case, he might as well be honest with her and make things clear. If she still refused to help, then he would have to think of other ways.
But he definitely wants to protect people.
Even if she were the only two botanists still alive, just for the sake of her, he couldn't possibly ignore her!
Then he suddenly smiled and said, "Your status is special now. If you die, I'll probably lose my head too. So I have no choice but to trouble you and live with you."
After saying that, seeing her expression change drastically, he slowly added, "It's convenient to provide protection nearby. Don't overthink it; it's my duty as the captain of the city's guard."
