Chapter 282, Changes
The Zhang family had a lot of secret contacts with the Shi family, and Pei Qing, as the lord of a city, naturally knew about it.
However, neither family was an important pawn to him, and he could abandon both of them if necessary. Therefore, even though he knew that the Zhang family had ill intentions, he did not make this matter clear.
At this moment, Jiang Ran seemed to be just saying it casually. He looked at her, and the little girl just blinked her eyes, looking very innocent.
He looked at her for a moment and smiled softly: "You take the person back. I will take care of things here."
Jiang Ran bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, General Pei - if the Zhang family refuses to give up, please tell them to come to me directly."
Go directly to her? Are you dissatisfied with the Zhang family's idiots not dying fast enough?
Pei Qing waved his hand and responded perfunctorily.
After Jiang Ran took Si Xu away, Pei Xiao walked out from the corner, touched his nose, and stopped beside his father.
Pei Qing didn't even look at him. "I asked you to follow Jiang Ran because I was worried she'd get into trouble. What about you? Is this the result of your work?"
Medical staff rushed over and carried the injured mutant away.
Pei Xiao didn't look at those people: "I don't think Si Xu was ruthless. Zhang Minxin has been getting more and more arrogant recently. It would be good to let him suffer a little and learn a lesson."
Pei Qing glanced at his son with clear eyes and laughed with emotion: After all, being young and reckless is a good thing.
Seeing that there was nothing serious here, Pei Qing called Secretary Jin and asked him to go to Zhang's house, while he got in the car and returned to his office in the military building.
He seemed not to notice the unconscious woman hanging on the city wall. Pei Xiao was too lazy to remind him and watched him leave.
Secretary Jin hadn't left yet. After Pei Qing left, he approached Pei Xiao and asked mysteriously, "What should we do with that thing hanging there?"
Knowing who he was referring to, and remembering the injustice his mother had endured recently, Pei Xiao rarely let go of his sympathy and sneered, "When her brother wakes up, he'll come and let her go."
Secretary Jin hesitated: "I'm afraid it will take until tomorrow morning for Shi Yuji to wake up."
Pei Xiao glared at him: "Since you care about her so much, why don't you go up and put her down yourself?"
Secretary Jin shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, I don't want to be like the people in Team 5."
"Then what's the point of you saying so much?"
"Isn't this just me being gentle and considerate to women?..."
“…”
After the joke, Secretary Jin expressed his concerns: "If we stand by and watch, Shi Yuji will wake up tomorrow and be very angry. Although the Shi family and the Zhang family are not to be feared, if they unite..."
It won't bring down the Pei family, but it will still cause a lot of trouble.
Pei Xiao also understood this, but unlike Secretary Jin, he wasn't as worried. He simply said, "Jiang Ran blew up the villa, and it was Jiang Ran who killed the person. If the Shi family isn't convinced, they can go find the culprit directly. As for why we stood by and watched, there was nothing we could do. No one here is a match for Professor Si. We can't sacrifice the entire Dongchao base for Shi Yujiao, can we?"
This sounded reasonable. Secretary Jin commented bluntly, "Are you putting all the blame on Miss Jiang?"
"I'm not pushing it, she did it." Pei Xiao smiled bitterly, "Believe me, Jiang Ran wouldn't want our Pei family to take on any trouble for her."
She doesn't want others to interfere in matters that she is capable of handling, especially when these others are members of the Pei family.
…
Jiang Ran brought Si Xu home. Chu Yuan was already waiting in the living room. When he saw the two of them, he said, "I'm going to sleep," and went straight back to his room.
"Captain Chu is waiting here, he must be worried about us."
Originally, he was going to wait for them to come back together, but after seeing Pei Qing's convoy coming, she asked him to move away.
If Chu Yuan's identity were known to someone with ulterior motives, there would be a lot that could be done about it.
After all, the captain of the first supernatural team at Xiling Base concealed his identity and lurked in Dongchao Base... Even if Pei Xiao knew about this and made a fuss about it, it would be difficult for the Pei family.
Si Xu did not respond.
He hung his head, pecking at rice bit by bit like a chicken. His whole body exuded fatigue, but his body stood straight, like a tall pine tree.
Jiang Ran laughed.
She led him back to the room, and he closed his eyes and followed her obediently.
Leading the man to sit on the bed, Jiang Ran took off his clothes and shoes, and helped him lie down.
"Lie down first. I'll get you a basin of water to wash your face."
"No." Si Xu got under the quilt, "I've already taken a shower."
"But you went out again during the trip."
"That was to find you." He pulled the quilt up to cover his mouth and nose, leaving only his eyes exposed, and accused in a muffled voice, "You left me alone and ran away, so I went out to find you."
Because he was sleepy, tears welled up in his eyes, making him look even more pitiful.
Jiang Ran didn't have any principles left: "Okay, I was wrong this time." She leaned over and kissed him on the forehead, "You go to sleep, I'm going to take a shower."
Si Xu hummed with satisfaction, and reminded her: "Come back soon."
Jiang Ran pinched his face: "I know."
Only when he was drunk would he be so obedient. If she pinched his face like this on a normal day, he would definitely ask for it back with interest.
Well, it seems that being drunk is cuter.
…
The next morning, when Huo Zhijue got up and was about to go out for a walk, he bumped into Huo Lingyin who was running back from outside in a hurry.
She stopped helplessly and said softly, "What's the hurry? What if you run so fast and bump into someone?"
Having seen enough of the excitement, Huo Lingyin is now excited.
"Aunt, I was just looking for you." Ignoring the elders' advice, she took her arm and said with a grin, "Didn't the Shi brothers and sisters go to the villa yesterday? That night, the villa was bombed. Shi Yuji was knocked unconscious and left in the courtyard to get wet in the rain all night. Shi Yujiao was even worse off, hanging on the city wall all night! Hahahahahaha!"
Huo Lingyin was surprised: "Who did this?"
Logically speaking, with such a big thing happening at the base, why is it still so peaceful this morning?
Without giving a direct answer, Huo Lingyin said mysteriously: "Guess."
Seeing her expression, Huo Zhigui's heart skipped a beat. He was a little bit incredulous: "Is it... Si Xu?"
"You guessed wrong, little aunt." Huo Lingyin laughed, "I knew you would guess Si Xu."
It's not Si Xu. Huo Zhigui breathed a sigh of relief, a smile in his eyes: "Don't keep me in suspense, tell me, who is it?"
"It was Jiang Ran!" Speaking of Jiang Ran's actions last night, Huo Lingyin seemed to open up and talk non-stop, "I don't know where she got the bomb from. She blew up the Shi family's villa with holes and hung Shi Yujiao on the city wall. Everyone who passed by in the morning saw it. Tsk tsk, in the end, it took Shi Yuji to come and let her down..."
Huo Zhijue listened, his brows gradually knitted together: "Ranran...why would she do all this?"
The child looked very clever and didn't seem like someone who would cause trouble.
Huo Lingyin curled her lips. When she talked about the cause of the whole thing, her tone was full of disdain: "The people Pei Xiao mentioned last night who attacked Si Xu and Jiang Ran were actually arranged by Shi Yujiao. In the end, those people were beaten by Si Xu. Jiang Ran holds a grudge, so he must have gone to seek revenge."
