Chapter 102 Unless Revenge
Luo Rui was surprised to find Si Xu bringing Jiang Ran with him. She and Xie Chengzhi exchanged glances, then both looked at Shen Lang, who was pursing his lips and remaining silent.
Shen Lang didn't say anything.
Facing his granddaughter's sweet greeting, he just stared at her with a cold face, expressing his displeasure with silence.
"Hey, Ranran, why don't you say hello to me?" Shen Yang, who was sitting on Shen Lang's right, waved his hand. "Is it really okay for you to ignore your big brother like this?"
Jiang Ran's mouth twitched: "Hello, Brother Shen Yang."
"Hey." Shen Yang responded happily, turning back to Zhong Qian behind him and said, "Didn't you see my sister is here? Go move a chair over for her."
The boss started again.
Zhong Qian sighed and resigned himself to moving the chair.
Before Zhong Qian put down his chair, Si Xu raised his chin with a gloomy face and said, "Put it next to me."
Zhong Qian: "..." He turned to look at Shen Yang, waiting for his instructions.
The corners of Shen Yang's mouth twitched, and he hummed: "Let him go." Alas, although he wanted to refuse, he couldn't beat him, there was nothing he could do.
Seeing the chair put away, Si Xu's expression improved and he took Jiang Ran's hand and sat down.
It wasn't until the two of them sat down that the other people in the meeting room came to their senses.
Everyone wisely did not worry about whether Jiang Ran could attend the meeting, but instead looked at Shen Lang in unison, waiting for his decision.
With Shen Yang interfering, Shen Lang, who originally wanted Jiang Ran to wait outside, had to swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
The old man glared at his eldest grandson disapprovingly and cleared his throat: "Professor Si is here, let's start the meeting."
Chu Yuan did not come back, so Guo Zhehao replaced Chu Yuan and represented the First Battalion to attend the meeting.
The man gave a detailed report of what happened in the blockade area: "...Finally, Captain Chu went to Fengyang to handle personal matters. I led the team back to base to report. Professor Si and Miss Jiang went to the Jiang family again and did not return with the team."
This concludes the report.
Jiang Ran frowned and glanced at Guo Zhehao, who was looking at the documents with his head down, with a slightly cold look in his eyes.
The deputy captain's report was so detailed that she even reported on her and Si Xu's visit to the Jiang family.
First there was Qin Huai. Even if she and Si Xu didn't find anything in the Jiang family, I'm afraid this group of people wouldn't believe it.
"I have a question." As expected, Shen Lang asked based on Guo Zhehao's report, "Professor Si, why did you go to the Jiang family again?"
"It's a private matter." Si Xu replied in a neutral tone, "It has nothing to do with you."
Chen Lang frowned: "Professor Si..."
"He went home with me." Jiang Ran spoke weakly, interrupting Chen Lang's questioning. Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. "Jiangning is where I grew up. I finally got to go home, so I wanted to stay home for a few more days. I remember mentioning this to Captain Chu and Deputy Captain Guo when we parted. Since Deputy Captain Guo has to write a report, please make it clearer next time to avoid causing any unnecessary problems."
Guo Zhehao looked up at her and their eyes met.
The man lowered his head expressionlessly: "Sorry, I forgot."
"Since Deputy Captain Guo has mentioned it, let me tell you about it." Jiang Ran made the decision without caring whether anyone wanted to hear it or not. "After separating from Team One, Si Xu and I returned to the Jiang family's house. We did a thorough cleaning, cleaning the house inside and out. And the lawn in front of the Jiang family's door, the weeds grew taller than my knees. Seeing my father's favorite lawn turned into that, I was really heartbroken. I could only beg Si Xu to help trim the lawn. After we finished cleaning the lawn, it was lunchtime. I casually cooked two dishes. I remember they were smashed cucumbers and stir-fried pork with shredded potatoes. After dinner, we..."
"That's enough." After hearing her rambling account, Shen Lang's forehead veins kept throbbing. He couldn't help but scold her, "Since it's nothing important, there's no need to bring it up at the meeting."
"Huh?" Jiang Ran said aggrievedly, "Didn't you ask that, Grandpa?"
Meeting the girl's innocent eyes with ripples, Shen Lang was choked.
"Ranran can actually cook?" Shen Yang listened with great interest. "I didn't even have the chance to try it, Ranran, you're so mean~"
"I'm a good cook. I'll make it for my cousin next time."
Si Xu glanced at Shen Yang silently, then lowered his head and made a note in his notebook.
The two of them joked around about the Jiang family's issue, and Shen Lang expressed regret over the news that the entire fourth team had been killed in battle. The meeting finally got to the point.
"Min He died in battle, and the Fourth Team was completely wiped out. The base's survival environment is severe, and we must replenish the lost combat power as soon as possible." After Shen Lang finished speaking, he asked symbolically, "Does anyone have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
Oh, you have already brought people here, who else can we recommend?
"It seems you haven't found a suitable candidate?" Shen Lang was very satisfied with everyone's understanding of the situation. "I have found two more suitable candidates... These two are the psychics who came to our base from Shenmu City some time ago, Luo Rui and Cheng Zhi."
The two men bowed slightly as a greeting.
"Not long after arriving at the base, they've already led the team to the top of the standings. Their abilities are Wood and Fire, respectively, and they're about to break through to level three. They're quite capable and have leadership skills. I'm very optimistic about them, so I've decided to send them to the base's ability team for some training."
After a brief pause, Shen Lang took a sip from his teacup, his eyes sweeping across the faces of the attendees before continuing, "The captain position of Team 4 is now vacant. I'd like Cheng Zhi and Luo Rui to take over temporarily, which would solve the problem of the base's ability team being short-staffed. Does anyone have any other suggestions?"
"No, it's up to you, Mr. Shen."
“Haha, since Commander Shen values them so much, the strength of these two is naturally beyond doubt.”
"The fact that you two were able to bring your team all the way from Shenmu City to here shows that you two are indeed quite capable."
“…”
Amidst the fawning voices, Gu Yunqing and Su Qin complained, "Those two guys were able to reach Xiling Base safely thanks to us. Oh, we really shouldn't have brought them back."
Su Qin poked him in the waist: "It's no use regretting it now."
Not wanting to waste time, Shen Lang cut the Gordian knot: "Since you have no objection..."
"I have a problem."
Chen Lang: "..." Looking at the person who was speaking, he smiled with a fake smile, "Professor Si, do you have any opinions?"
Si Xu, who was fiddling with Jiang Ran's fingers, yawned as if he had just woken up. "Chen Lang, do you want to promote these two people?"
Shen Lang was silent.
"Captain of the fourth team?" Si Xu smiled faintly and said calmly, "Qin Huai was created by your Shen family. Min He lost her life because of the trouble your Shen family left behind. Her body is still warm, and you are thinking of promoting your subordinates..."
"What exactly does Professor Si want to say?"
"Chen Lang, you said that the two of them are qualified to be the captain of the fourth team - words are not enough, anyone can do it."
"So Professor Si means you want to confirm it?"
"If I confirm it myself, you can only collect their bodies after that." Si Xu did not hide his sarcasm.
Chen Lang: “…”
The old man gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice, "Professor Si, what do you want?"
"It was your Shen family who caused this trouble. Min He died fighting for the Shen family. Since you admire them so much, why not let them kill Qin Huai to avenge the Fourth Team and prove your judgment is correct? What do you think of this proposal?"
How? How the hell!
Solve Qin Huai? That sounds so easy! If Qin Huai was so easy to solve, would the fourth team still be completely wiped out?
"Team Four was destroyed at the hands of Qin Huai. The successor you recommended couldn't deal with Qin Huai and avenge the team's destruction. How can you have the nerve to take over Min He's position and lead Team Four? You're not afraid of being laughed at if you say you won't go, Commander Shen?"
Chen Lang: “…”
