Chapter 213, Return Together
Shen Yao was brought back to the Shen family by Shen Yang.
She didn't know what happened to the young man who came to save her that night, and she didn't dare to ask.
She goes to the laboratory as usual every day, with only one belief in her mind driving her - to develop a vaccine as soon as possible. Only in this way can the current era of cannibalism be ended and the trajectory of the whole world can return to normal.
Since the meeting that night, Qin Huai's identity has been recognized and he can enter and leave the base normally.
The man didn't leave either. He would just wait for her on her way home from get off work every day, following her like a tail, and sending her to the door of the Shen family.
Repeat this process over and over again without getting tired of it.
She felt nervous and wary at first, but as time went on... all that was left was wariness and helplessness.
He would often give her White Rabbit milk candies. No one knew where he got the White Rabbit candies from. However, every time she received one, she would take a few steps and then hand it directly to a stranger passing by.
He still insisted.
After doing this so many times, for some reason, she took the White Rabbit he gave her home and left it in a drawer, where it gathered dust.
The days just passed like flowing water.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The day the accident happened was no different from any other day - the sky was a little gloomy, with a gentle breeze and a slight rain.
After she had washed up and was about to go downstairs to the laboratory, she heard a quarrel coming from the hall at the stairs.
"Great! Great! What did I think you were doing? Turns out you were hiding it from me and wreaking havoc in the base!"
This was the first time the old man walked out of the room since he fell ill.
He paced back and forth in the living room with a cane, and his trembling voice showed the old man's intense emotions at the moment.
"You actually handed the base over to that bastard Qin Huai!"
The old man was furious. He turned around and saw his eldest grandson standing in front of him. He widened his eyes and raised his cane to hit him.
"I can let go of you letting Qin Huai go! I can also let go of you disrupting my plans for Jiang Ranran! Shen Yang! What are you doing now?! Look at yourself! Look at you!"
The old man hit hard, and the dull sound of the stick hitting the flesh made Chen Yao in the corridor tremble uncontrollably.
The person being beaten seemed to feel nothing.
He stood straight, his face expressionless, not even his eyes wavering.
Shen Youyou squatted on the sofa, just looking at the cane that kept falling, tilting her head.
"Grandpa!" Shen Yao couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
She came down from upstairs, held the old man's hand, and said anxiously: "This matter can't be blamed on big brother. What's the point of beating him?"
It is better to acknowledge Qin Huai's identity and give him the opportunity to enter and leave the base freely than to let that person kill innocent people in the base - if he doesn't take a step back, who in Xiling base can control him now?
"And you!"
The old man had heard what had happened from the housekeeper a long time ago.
He threw his granddaughter away, pointed at her and cursed: "You useless thing! Qin Huai has been following you for so many days, and you can still act as if nothing happened! If you weren't stupid, would it have turned out like this?!"
Accusations rained down on her. Shen Yao stood there blankly, facing the old man's hand that was about to touch her nose and his face wrinkled with excitement.
Her eyes slowly turned red.
For the constant anxiety and the indiscriminate blame from the old man.
"That's enough, Grandpa." Feeling a burning pain on his back, Shen Yang stretched his arms and walked in front of Shen Yao. "Now that things have come to this, there's no point in you scolding me like this."
He said calmly, "Don't worry about this. You're not feeling well, so go back to your room and rest."
His tone was calm and his attitude was firm, not giving the old man a chance to refute.
The old man stared at him coldly for a long time, then grinned.
"Haha, hum hahahahahaha."
He stepped back and sat on the sofa.
Shen Youyou immediately jumped off the sofa and changed to another place to continue squatting.
Shen Yao was suffocated by the dull atmosphere in the living room. She gently tugged at Shen Yang's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, I'm going to the lab."
"Well, go ahead."
She didn't say hello to the old man, but just lowered her head and rushed out of the house.
As soon as I went out, I saw Qin Huai waiting on the roadside.
The man's appearance was so outstanding that just standing there he attracted the attention of people passing by.
Seeing her, he waved.
Remembering the old man's accusation, she subconsciously slowed down her pace, walked in front of him and stopped.
Qin Huai noticed something was wrong with her and frowned: "What's wrong with your eyes?"
She spoke with a nasal tone: "Nothing." She pursed her lips and asked the question she had always wondered, "Why didn't you kill me?"
He took away Gu Yunqing, Su Qin, and the young man who came to save her that day, but he let her go.
Why?
Just as he said, Si Xu left the base, and he had no taboos here, so he could have discarded her as his amulet long ago.
He took out a large White Rabbit from his pocket and handed it to her: "Here you go."
"You haven't answered my question yet."
"Didn't your brother tell you? I kill people based on my mood." He smiled without showing his teeth, full of tenderness, "Not everyone is qualified to become the soul of my men."
Knowing that he avoided her problem, Shen Yao did not dwell on it.
She put the candy in her pocket and walked ahead as usual.
"Qin Huai, why do you like eating White Rabbit?"
The man lowered his eyes when he heard that. It was unknown what he was thinking about. The superficial tenderness in his light golden eyes faded away, revealing the original, true warmth.
"The candy was given to me by others...when I was going through the hardest time."
So that's it.
Shen Yao looked at him in surprise.
Is it because he is grateful to the person who gave him the candy that he likes White Rabbit?
Wasn’t his most difficult time…in the lab?
Oh, all the dark moments in his life seemed to be brought to him by the Shen family.
Thinking of what she had said before, Shen Yao licked her lips and hesitated: "Qin Huai, I apologize to you for what I said before."
During their first discussion of milk candy, she scolded him for not being good enough for her White Rabbit.
"But I will never forgive you for what you did to my friend."
Never forgive?
The young man tugged at her ponytail and said with a smile, "Since you're so insistent, I can only let you do what you want."
This tone really deserves a beating.
Shen Yao glared at him fiercely, rescued her ponytail from his hands, and left him alone.
After Chen Yao left, in the living room, the old man looked at the little girl squatting beside him, his eyes shining brightly.
"A117." He gave an order without hesitation, "I command you to find an opportunity to kill Qin Huai tonight."
What humans cannot do, puppets can always do.
It doesn't matter if the puppet can't do it, it's just the loss of a weapon.
Shen Youyou stood up, looked at Shen Lang, and then looked at Shen Yang.
"Grandpa, A117 is no match for Qin Huai."
The old man sneered: "If you don't try, how will you know the result?"
He stared at Shen Youyou and added another order: "If necessary, you can die with him - in short, if you can't kill Qin Huai, I will throw you into the recycling bin. Do you understand?"
Shen Youyou nodded: “Yes.”
