Chapter 117: Friends from Afar
Applause came from behind the crowd. The onlookers subconsciously turned around and saw the person who was applauding. Although they didn't know him, because of the people around him, the onlookers still consciously recognized a path.
The young man was wearing a lake blue long waistcoat uniform with an eagle with wings spread out embroidered on his arm. He looked at Jiang Ran with a cold expression, but there was a light of approval in his eyes.
Beside him, Chen Bai had a gloomy face and remained silent.
Pei Xiao? Why was he at Xiling Base? Thinking about how he had overheard her silly speech, Jiang Ran felt a strange sense of shame.
"Miss Jiang, what you said just now was very good." The young man walked to Jiang Ran's side, his eyes slowly swept over those people, and smiled slightly, "Actually, there is no need to say so much, it's a very simple truth."
Looking at the psychic across from him who was accusing Jiang Ran of being an ordinary person who was just waiting to die, Pei Xiao sneered, "Since some people think psychics can arbitrarily disregard and harm ordinary people, does that mean that high-level psychics can also arbitrarily deal with low-level psychics? If I kill you here, can I also avoid taking any responsibility?"
"This..." The psychic took two steps back after being glanced at by him, stiffening his neck and retorting, "You're changing the subject!"
"It's normal for you to disregard other people's lives, but for others to disregard you is just a mistranslation?" Pei Xiao nodded. "It seems Miss Jiang is right. Wei Yage didn't teach you well."
Upon hearing this person bring up Wei Ya Ge again, the members of Team Six all expressed indignation. The man Pei Xiao accused glared at him and shouted angrily, "You are not allowed to insult Captain Wei!"
"Saying that she didn't teach you well is true, so how can it be an insult?" Pei Xiao smiled faintly. "Or do you think that your existence is an insult to Wei Ya Ge?"
"you!"
"Enough!" Seeing the team members' anger, the deputy team leader stopped them. His gaze shifted from Jiang Ran to Pei Xiao, and he forced a faint smile. "I didn't realize when Captain Pei and the young lady from the Shen family became so close? If I remember correctly, the other sister..."
"Oh my god, you're such a jerk!" Hearing that this person was going to involve the deceased Pei Wan'er, Jiang Ran was even quicker to anger than Pei Xiao. The girl walked towards the person opposite her with a fierce look on her face, and rolled up her sleeves. "Come out! I want to teach you a lesson!"
What she hated most was this kind of psychopath who insulted others and then implicated others, especially when the person involved was a deceased relative.
The young man pushed his glasses and didn't move - of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to bully Jiang Ran in front of Shen Bai, he just wanted to remind Pei Xiao to stop interfering.
"Have you had enough?" Seeing that things were getting more and more difficult to resolve, Chen Bai finally spoke up to stop the quarrel, "If you continue to make trouble, get out of here and go to the detention room to receive your punishment!"
“…”
"Clean this place up," the young man said in a deep voice, his eyes icy. "I've assigned you, Team Six, to guard this experimental base to protect the safety of the scientific researchers. They're the base's most valuable asset, not to run amok like hooligans. I see you, Team Six, have been getting more and more out of line lately."
After being scolded by Chen Bai, no one in the sixth team responded, but the expressions on their faces showed that they were dissatisfied in their hearts.
Seeing the disdain on their faces, Chen Bai sneered: "Not convinced, huh? I will personally communicate with Wei Yage about what happened today - you guys clean up here and you can leave."
…
By the time the sixth team cleaned up the test site and left, the crowd watching outside had dispersed completely.
Jiang Ran looked at the deputy captain and waved with a smile: "Next time there are fruits that have matured from the experiment, you are welcome to come and try them - of course, the staff will not be held responsible if anyone is poisoned."
“…”
After those men left with a look of frustration on their faces, Chen Bai tapped Jiang Ran on the head, not too hard or too lightly: "You are the one who caused all this trouble today, and you still don't repent?"
Jiang Ran covered her head and admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry." She added softly, "Actually, that cantaloupe wasn't sweet at all... But the melon is the result of the team leader's hard work, so they should have been rewarded first. If they were just given the same fixed points reward for a long time, how could anyone lose their motivation?"
Moreover, the so-called point rewards of ordinary people are far less than those of people with special abilities - even scientific researchers who are contributing to the future development of mankind.
"Even if it's a reward, it's not something you can decide casually." Chen Bai said helplessly, "Don't think I don't know. You just want to eat it - Jiang Ranran, this won't happen again, understand?"
Jiang Ran lowered his head: "I understand."
His sister took the initiative to admit her mistake, and Chen Bai didn't intend to pursue it further. Worried that he had hit her too hard, seeing her shrinking her head, his heart softened and he touched the top of her head.
"Pei Xiao, this is my little sister Jiang Ranran."
"I know." Pei Xiao looked at the girl and smiled slightly, "We've met before."
"Really?" Chen Bai didn't ask any further questions and said, "There are several more test sites below. Shall we continue our tour?"
"Are you visiting the test site?" Jiang Ran interrupted.
Shen Bai nodded: “Well, I heard that someone was causing trouble here when I just came in, so I had to come here to solve the trouble.”
Jiang Ran stuck out her tongue and asked, "Why are you alone, second brother? Where's Grandpa? Where's Si Xu?"
Knowing the grudge between Shen Yang and Pei Xiao, Jiang Ran wisely did not mention Shen Yang's name.
However, when he heard Si Xu's name, the man frowned, snorted, turned his face away, and no longer looked at the brother and sister who were talking.
This girl is really talking about something that is not related to the topic. Chen Bai touched the tip of his nose and replied vaguely: "They are all in the Military Control Building. I brought Captain Pei to visit the experimental base."
"Is that so?" Jiang Ran became interested. "I know this place well. I'll show you around and even introduce it to Captain Pei."
Chen Bai wanted to refuse, but Pei Xiao spoke first and said politely, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Ran smiled and replied, "Captain Pei is the guest, so it's only natural."
Without a chance to speak, Shen Bai gave his sister a warning look, but ultimately did not discourage her hospitality.
After briefly explaining the situation to the team leader and instructing his colleagues to take good care of their superiors, Jiang Ran took Pei Xiao and Shen Bai to start the tour.
As the girl walked through an experimental field, Chen Bai discovered that the girl was different from what he expected - she did not just come here to hang out and get points, but she carefully learned about each experimental field, including the various advantages and disadvantages of the facilities and equipment, as well as the results of the experimental field so far, and she could tell them all without any error.
Pei Xiao listened carefully to the girls' introductions, nodded from time to time, and asked some more complicated questions, which Jiang Ran could answer accurately.
After the tour, Chen Bai praised her generously: "Ranran is very smart. After just a few days here, she has already mastered all kinds of professional knowledge."
"Of course." The girl showed a little pride, "I'm Professor Si's girlfriend, I can't embarrass him."
Shen Bai smiled lightly: "Well, you did a great job."
Pei Xiaomo Ran: That guy's name is really haunting. When I hear this name, I can't help but want to fight with him. It would be best if I could beat him so hard that he can't get up.
