Chapter 338, Give Me Some Hardship
The man was Luo Yuting from the Luo family. From what they said, Jiang Ranran had an acquaintance in the Beichen base, and that person was quite caring towards Jiang Ranran.
A man who can be called "Sir" by Luo Yuting must be a powerful person.
Jiang Ranran also mentioned Huo Lingyin in a familiar tone, and it was obvious that they had a good relationship.
Before leaving the base, they were still swearing that the girls were just making up stories to threaten people. However, the moment they left the base, reality slapped them hard in the face.
"Luo, what's going on with Luo Yuting?"
When Xu Henian came out, he saw Luo Yuting being thrown to the ground by Jiang Ranran. He felt pain just by the sound, but Luo Yuting just asked her kindly if she had calmed down...
Could it be that Jiang Ranran not only hooked up with Professor Si, but also hooked up with the head of the Luo family?
That's not right. Didn't the Luo family leave the base a long time ago? Why is Luo Yuting still here?
He also apologized to Jiang Ranran, and the two spoke casually, obviously acquaintances.
Since they were acquaintances, why did Luo Yuting cooperate with them to deal with Shen Yang? Didn't he know that Shen Yang was Jiang Ranran's cousin?
The person who came in to deliver the news whispered, "I don't know—when I followed Miss Jiang out, I saw Mr. Luo waiting for her here, and then I went in to tell you the news..."
In the end, they didn't give him a chance to speak out.
"Go and find out why Luo Yuting is in the base." The moment he saw Luo Yuting, Old Yan made the worst plan.
Everything Jiang Ranran said at the meeting was true.
She knew Luo Yuting and had acquaintances at Beichen Base. When Si Xu came back, she would take the Shen family and leave Xiling to join Beichen.
If all this is true and it's not a threat from a girl...how will they end?
Old Yan thought of this, and those who followed him naturally thought of it as well.
Some people are still waiting for Mr. Yan's decision, while others have already started complaining.
"Did we underestimate Jiang Ranran before?"
"I think so too—I don't think Luo Yuting is willing to be thrown over the shoulder by Professor Si."
"That's not it. From what they said, I know Jiang Ranran really has someone in Beichen Base. She also mentioned Huo Lingyin. I remember Huo Lingyin is the eldest daughter of the Huo family and the captain of Beichen's first superpower team."
"Oh, now that you mention it, I remember. She's said to be a very romantic woman, with a reputation similar to Shen Yang's... Tsk."
"That Mr. Tu Su—has any of you heard of him?"
"……No."
“I really don’t have that.”
"Anyone Luo Yuting can talk about so much must not be an ordinary person, right?"
"Hey, I'm saying this, but if Jiang Ranran really has someone backing her in Beichen, wouldn't we be driving her back to Beichen by forcing her like this today? It would be fine if she left, but what about Professor Si..."
"I was thinking, Miss Jiang and the Luo family's Patriarch seem to have a good relationship. If she is involved with the Huo family, shouldn't we offend her?"
“…”
Annoyed by the chatter of these people, Old Yan coughed heavily, interrupting the discussion and said in a deep voice: "First, find out the reason why Luo Yuting came back, and then make plans."
"yes."
Xu Hesui lowered his eyes to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.
Make another plan? If they were wrong, would they have to admit their mistake to that little girl Jiang Ranran?
Having said that, it is really difficult for these people to achieve anything great. Before the truth comes out, they are already scared by their own imagination. Haha, what a bunch of cowards!
…
After having lunch at the Yan family, he went to Yan Jue's room and chatted with the man about what happened today. As the sun set, Xu Hesui packed up and prepared to go home.
I ran into Mr. Yan in the living room. He was whispering to the housekeeper. When he saw him, he pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly: "Xiao Xu, are you going home?"
"Well, go back and discuss the next work with the old man."
"Okay, be careful on the road." She didn't ask him to stay for dinner as usual, and judging from her tone, it seemed like she was telling him to leave.
Thinking that they were discussing the Yan family's private affairs, Xu Hesui tactfully said goodbye.
…
After the young man left, Old Yan took a deep breath and said, "Go on."
"They were attacked by a swarm of zombies on the way. Luo Yuting was seriously injured, and it was Professor Si and Miss Jiang who rescued him. Luo Rui and Xie Chengzhi are missing, and their whereabouts are unknown."
Being attacked by a horde of zombies and being unknown whether you are alive or dead is no different from being dead.
"I also heard that Miss Jiang saved Luo Yuting's life when she went to Beichen Base. So, Luo Yuting said himself that he owed Miss Jiang a favor..."
Elder Yan placed one hand on his chest, trying to sort out the chaotic thoughts in his mind: "Where did you get this information?"
"Yes..." The butler hesitated for a moment and told the truth, "Mr. Luo said it himself."
Luo Yuting said it himself? Is he... supporting Jiang Ranran?
Old Yan felt that he had no idea how these people were related, but that didn't stop him from grasping the key point—Jiang Ranran's network of relationships included not only Si Xu, but also many other forces they didn't know about.
"Perhaps..." The old man rubbed his temple and smiled bitterly, "I really underestimated her."
…
The thought of going home and facing that arrogant brother made Xu Hesui feel irritated and he procrastinated. It was already evening when he got home.
The lanterns in front of the Xu family’s gate were lit. From afar, the lights were bright and reflected the sunset glow, and the entire building looked like a bright pearl.
"Hmm? Is there an important guest?" Since the end of the world, the lanterns at the Xu family's gate have never been lit again.
"The Second Young Master is back?"
"Second Young Master, you're back. The old man is entertaining guests in the living room."
"Second Young Master, the old man asked you to come back and go to the living room. He is waiting for you."
Along the way, the servants they met all revealed a piece of news - the Xu family had an important guest tonight.
Thinking that he couldn't miss any opportunity to show off in front of the old man, Xu Hesui couldn't help but quicken his pace, but met the person he least wanted to see in the corridor outside the reception room.
Even in summer, Xu Henian still wore a coat on his shoulders. His face was very pale, the kind of paleness that comes from being bedridden for years. He was so thin that he seemed like he could be blown down by a gust of wind.
Seeing his brother, he frowned slightly, as if unhappy: "Where have you been? Why are you back now?"
"I went to attend the base's weekly meeting." Xu Hesui raised his head slightly, his tone cold and arrogant. "After it was over, I chatted with Elder Yan for a while, which delayed me a bit."
"You're chatting with Old Yan?" The furrow between Xu Henian's brows deepened. "Didn't Grandpa tell you to stay away from the Yan family recently?"
"What do you know?" Xu Hesui sneered, hating his self-righteous tone. "You stay at home all day and night and have never been involved in the work of the base. Do you know what the base is like now? Ha, you frog in the well, what right do you have to interfere with my work? Don't be so self-righteous!"
He walked into the reception room, waving his hands and saying, "Bad luck!"
Looking at his brother's back, the young man shook his head helplessly.
He originally thought it was just a simple visit, but now it seems that the person came just for his ignorant younger brother.
Young people are eager for quick success and instant benefits, so they need to suffer more so that they can learn their lesson.
