Chapter 173, Lessons
Yi Xi's words undoubtedly stirred up a storm in Xie Chengzhi's heart. After sending Luo Rui to the dungeon, Xie Chengzhi offered a few words of comfort and rushed back to the slums without stopping.
…
The farce ended. After Shen Lang said some high-sounding words, the members of the sixth team carried Wei Yage's body away in tears.
"Ranran." The old man stopped in front of Jiang Ran before leaving, glanced at Si Xu beside her, and said with a sneer in his eyes, "Although it is said that girls should not be kept at home when they grow up, you are the daughter of my Shen family after all. If you are fine, you should go back home and visit your family."
Hearing the sarcasm in the old man's words, Jiang Ran was in a good mood today and didn't bother with him: "I know, Grandpa."
The girl bowed respectfully, hinting, "Grandpa, at your age, you still have to work so late for strangers' affairs. It's really hard work. Grandpa, you should go back and rest early, don't tire yourself out."
There was sarcasm and ridicule in his words.
The gray-haired old man in front of him was Jiang Ranran's grandfather, one of the few relatives Jiang Ranran had left in this world. However, even after hearing what Jiang Yu said and knowing that his granddaughter had been framed and humiliated all the way, he was still thinking about how to protect his subordinates.
He didn't say a word of comfort or concern to Jiang Ranran.
Finally, I have to come over and teach you a lesson.
How can this be true?
Choked by Jiang Ran's answer, the old man subconsciously raised his cane, but held back after seeing Si Xu's cold eyes.
Reluctantly retracting his hateful gaze, the old man snorted indifferently: "Ranran, take care of yourself."
"Yes." Jiang Ran continued, "Ranran understands grandpa's good intentions, grandpa, don't worry."
The cane knocked on the ground as if to vent his anger. The old man, supported by Zheng Li, walked towards the exit under the escort of the guards.
…
After the crowd dispersed, the young man took off his uniform and threw it to the girl next to him. He smoothed his messy hair with one hand, walked to Jiang Ran, glanced at Si Xu cautiously, and seeing that the young man looked normal, he started talking to Jiang Ran.
"Is that the end?"
"Yeah." Holding Si Xu's arm, the girl yawned, "What happens next has nothing to do with you. I'll take care of it. I'm sorry for causing you trouble these days."
"What kind of trouble is this?" the young man muttered, his dark eyes filled with excitement. "Isn't that woman imprisoned in the dungeon? How about I find a chance to go in and..."
"I'm telling you," "Youth is good. You're young and reckless. You do whatever you want. You're truly free and unfettered. Of course, you don't consider the consequences at all. "I finally managed to get out of this troublesome situation, but now you're walking into this trap. Isn't everything I've done today in vain?"
Being lectured by her, the boy clicked his tongue: "I was just saying it casually - why would I need to do anything after entering the dungeon?"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at his teammates who were waiting for him. "I'm going back now. Do you want to keep the uniform you gave me with me, or do you want me to take it with you?"
"Let's burn it somewhere where there are no people." Giving him the uniform of the base's special forces team was just to hide his identity - the boy who caught Jiang Yu was from the base's slums, or from the base's special forces team. This difference in identity would lead to different subsequent results.
If the investigators were alert and dug deeper into Qiao Yi's identity, it's hard to say what the outcome would be.
Jiang Ran didn't want to expose Qiao Yi's identity and the power of his men unless it was absolutely necessary.
"I understand." Qiao Yi put on his hood, whistled, and leisurely walked back to his companions. "Let's go back and rest."
"Oh, Qiao Yi, there's one more thing..." Jiang Ran called out to the young man after remembering something.
The boy turned around, his hair under his hood blocking his eyes. "What's the matter?"
"Have you dealt with the three people who came with Jiang Yu?"
"Don't worry."
When Jiang Yu entered the room, his men had already subdued the other three psychics.
Just leave one witness behind, because too many people will talk too much and things will go wrong easily - that's what Jiang Ran said, and he did as she said.
"Don't kill him directly, see if you can get any useful information from him."
Qiao Yi made an OK gesture: "Understood." He waved his hand and said, "Let's go - I'll let you know when there's news."
"Qiao Yi." Si Xu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke and called the young man.
Unlike the casual way he treated Jiang Ran, the boy immediately turned around and stood at attention: "Here."
"I'll have some medicine delivered tomorrow. If there's a medical professional in your team, have him come out and take charge."
Hearing about delivering medicine, the boy's eyes suddenly lit up: "Thank you, Professor Si!"
Although the people in the slums are mostly old, weak and sick, if the current illness is not controlled, it is likely to spread to the entire base.
Since Si Xu was willing to deliver the medicine, the others did not dare to object. This saved them the trouble of sneaking out through the underground passage every day to look for medicine.
…
After the group left in a mighty manner, Jiang Ran said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Qiao Yi is also a dual-element mutant." And unlike Si Xu, Qiao Yi is an extremely aggressive lightning and metal-element mutant.
"I heard from Qiao Qiao that they also came from the lab?" Jiang Ran was curious. "Si Xu, why did you let such powerful people go out and start their own business?"
Regarding Lin You, Si Xu only picked out some unimportant information to tell her: "They were originally members of the first team, but later left because they couldn't stand the management system of the special power team."
"Is that so?" Jiang Ran felt it was a pity. "If Qiao Yi and the others were still in the Ability Team, it would save you a lot of trouble."
"That may not be the case - you've seen his temper. He's too wild and not suitable for a special power team."
"That's true." Jiang Ran muttered a few words, and finally checked the scene to make sure that there was no evidence left. Then he took Si Xu's arm and left.
…
On the way back to the residence, the girl who had blocked Jiang Yu at the door of the wooden house slowly pulled off the low-quality human skin mask on her face, revealing her true appearance.
"Zhou Jian." Yi Xi walked over to her and reminded her, "Don't throw this thing away casually. Take it back and burn it with Qiao Yi's uniform."
Zhou Jian looked gloomy and sighed, "I know." Then he crumpled the human skin mask into a ball and held it in his hand.
Knowing what she was thinking, Yi Xi patted her shoulder gently as if to comfort her: "It was that guy who was bewitched. We just went along with everything that happened tonight. There's no need to blame yourself."
"..." After all, this was the man she once loved. Zhou Jian's face wrinkled up, "Yi Xi, how could I have been so blind back then? I didn't see Luo Rui's character and thought she was genuinely good to me. I actually liked someone like Jiang Yu..."
The girl murmured, and the boy walking on her left laughed and mocked her mercilessly: "You said it too, you are blind!"
Hearing this, Zhou Jian felt even more dejected. "Yeah, she's blind, she's a fool. Being held in Luo Rui's arms, she wouldn't hesitate to pounce on and bite anyone who was Luo Rui's enemy. She used to look down on Yi Xi and Jiang Ranran, but now it's proven that she's the foolish one..."
After slapping Qiao Yi for interrupting, Yi Xi continued to comfort Zhou Jian, "Everyone has their blind spots sometimes. I used to think Xie Chengzhi was a smart guy, but wasn't I slapped in the face today?"
Jiang Yu tore Luo Rui's mask into pieces, but the man still insisted on not turning back until he hit the wall - it shows how stupid he is.
"Speaking of this..." Qiao Yi was curious, "Yi Xi, what did you say when you stopped him?" He muttered softly, "Could it be a confession?"
"Do you want to die?" Yi Xi glanced at him expressionlessly, and the boy immediately raised his hands in surrender, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
The girl snorted and ignored him.
What did she say? At that time, she didn't want to show up in front of those two people, but Jiang Ranran asked her to say those words, and she couldn't refuse, so she had to go.
"Maybe..." Recalling the change in Xie Chengzhi's expression after hearing those words, Yi Xi murmured, "He's complaining for a dead soul."
