Chapter 336, Autocratic
Seeing that the girl was about to quarrel with the old man, Gu Yunqing moved closer to Su Qin and asked in a low voice: "Did Brother Qi arrange for someone to help Ranran look up the information in her hand?"
Su Qin shook her head: "I don't know either."
Investigate thoroughly all the teams secretly raised by each family... To be honest, this is not like Si Xu's style.
Si Xu is the most simple and rough in doing things - no matter how many people you have, no matter what you want to do, if you provoke me, I will beat you until you beg for mercy.
Gu Yunqing shared the same opinion: "I don't think this is something Seventh Brother would do."
If it wasn't Si Xu, then it was Ranran who investigated it herself.
"I can't tell. Where does Ranran get the power to investigate this kind of thing for her..."
He said it was Jiang Ran's own investigation, but Su Qin thought of someone else.
Shen Yang.
Investigate the opponent's forces, find out their details, and finally strike a fatal blow when they are off guard.
This is Shen Yang's style.
"Are you talking about Shen Yang?" Gu Yunqing thought for a moment. He didn't like Shen Yang. He was used to dealing with straightforward people like Si Xu. He wasn't good at dealing with a cunning and treacherous person like Shen Yang.
Gu Yunqing shook his shoulders and muttered, "I hate people who scheme and scheme the most. I can't beat them..."
…
This sentence frightened Mr. Yan. Seeing his face turn red and white, Jiang Ran suddenly broke into a gentle smile.
"Forget it. We're in a meeting, so let's not talk about anything unrelated to the meeting." She sorted through her notes without looking up. "Speaking of adding a new superpower team to patrol, I've already explained the reason: it's to guard against mutant zombies."
Jiang Ran stopped looking at Old Yan and returned to his serious state at work, completely ignoring Old Yan and the man standing next to the old man.
"Si Xu and I were attacked by zombies on our way back to Xiling from Dongchao." Jiang Ran recounted his experience in the calm tone of a work report. "That zombie had a similar ability level to Si Xu. He displayed spatial abilities, but it's possible he might be able to conceal them. Most importantly, aside from his ability to feed on human flesh, his every move and appearance were no different from those of an ordinary person."
"What?"
The girl's words caused a storm in the conference room.
"Miss Jiang, are you saying that it's only been a year since the apocalypse, and intelligent zombies have already appeared?"
"Oh my god, have zombies evolved to this point? This is too scary!"
"Miss Jiang, are you kidding? Professor Si's fight with it was worth this little information?"
Jiang Ran's ears were hurt by the noise, so he slammed the table and said loudly: "Can you be quiet and listen to me?!"
The conference room fell silent for a moment.
Jiang Ran said in one breath, "That zombie was very powerful. Si Xu was injured, and he took the opportunity to escape. This is all the information we can get for now. So, I propose adding a patrol team of special abilities to strengthen the inspection of people entering and leaving. If any abnormality is found, it will be reported to the Military Control Building immediately."
"You suggested strengthening the defense..." a neutral family representative asked, "Is it because that zombie is heading towards Xiling?"
He used "you" when speaking, which was obviously polite and also represented respect.
"Uh." Jiang Ran hesitated for a moment and told the truth, "I saw him outside Xiling Base two nights ago. He was looking for food near Xiling Base."
The conference room was in uproar again.
The man pressed on, "Foraging near Xiling Base? He didn't hurt you, did he?"
This question was probing, and Jiang Ran's mouth twitched as he replied, "No."
"Why didn't he hurt you?" the man asked. "If he was really looking for food, and he let you go, it wouldn't be because he only met you once, so he showed mercy."
Gu Yunqing was still sounding out the probing questions, and he was getting annoyed. He interrupted unhappily, "What do you want to say? Do you think Ranran made up a story to deceive you? Or do you think she didn't get eaten by the zombies because she hooked up with them?"
"Of course not." The man waved his hand quickly. "I was just wondering if there was a special reason why the intelligent zombie didn't harm Miss Jiang. For example, maybe Miss Jiang had something on her that could protect her from zombies. If we knew this, at least everyone could be a little more prepared."
"Well, you have a point." Jiang Ran nodded, "But I didn't have anything with me at the time. To be honest, maybe..."
She paused.
Everyone stared at her nervously, waiting for an answer.
"Maybe, I'm better looking." Jiang Ran answered seriously.
Everyone: "..."
You are good-looking and everything you say is right.
Because of the emergence of intelligent zombies, no one objected to the proposal to increase the number of patrols by the special power team. The meeting ended quickly, and Jiang Ran still made the closing remarks.
"I know everyone here has their own ideas and disagrees with the work of our Shen family." The girl said calmly, "The last time I went to Beichen, I met the head of the Huo family. Mr. Huo invited me to help out at the Beichen Research Institute, and I agreed. I've made up my mind. When Si Xu comes back, I'll explain today's situation to him, then pack up everything in the Shen family and leave Xiling. When the time comes, I won't care if you go looking for the Luo or Shen family - but as long as I'm at the Xiling base, if any of you dare to go after my brother again, I promise that you'll go in with your head held high and come out with your head held high."
The girl packed up her things and left the meeting room.
In the conference room, a group of people looked at each other.
"What does Miss Jiang mean? She said he's leaving Xiling with Professor Si?"
"She was talking about herself, not Professor Si..."
"Are you stupid? If she leaves, do you think Professor Si will stay?!"
"Uh? This...how would I know this?"
"Oh, that's good news." The man who had just spoken to Jiang Ran said with a half-smile, "She also said that she wanted to pack up the Shen family and take them away - weren't you looking forward to Shen Yang leaving? You will soon get what you want, congratulations."
"What do you mean by that?"
"That's exactly what it means." The man snorted and ignored the person who spoke.
Sitting at the head of the conference table, Mr. Yan had a gloomy expression on his face, and he clenched and unclenched his hands on the table several times.
"Mr. Yan, this...what should we do next?"
If it were any other time, when Jiang Ranran said she was going to take the Shen family to Beichen, they would just jump up and celebrate, but in this situation… that intelligent zombie was near Xiling, so if Jiang Ranran left, she would definitely take Si Xu with her.
Once Si Xu left, the special ability team that originally belonged to him would definitely leave with him.
Oh, and the Shen family, and Group Z under the Shen family...
By then, wouldn’t the Xiling base become an empty shell?
"Mr. Yan, you can't do this."
Their goal was to force the Shen family to give way, but they didn't intend to force Si Xu and Jiang Ranran to leave.
Weren't Si Xu and Jiang Ranran forced to leave by Shen Lang? After finally coming back, why did they still have to stand up for the Shen family?
This is unscientific!
Elder Yan was silent for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "I don't think Jiang Ranran will really leave—she's used this trick more than once today."
Last time, she was plotted against by Chen Lang, and she and Si Xu left Xiling Base. But in the end, they came back, didn’t they?
Xiling Base is where they've settled down. Besides, why would the Huo family invite her? Just because she's Jiang Yize's daughter? They're dreaming!
"She's just saying this to use Professor Si as leverage to force us to back down."
