Chapter 340, Disappearance
Jiang Ranran is Jiang Yize's daughter, of course he knows that, he just doesn't understand, Jiang Yize has been dead for many years, what's the point even if she is his biological daughter?
"Jiang Yize and Miss Huo Zhijue of the Huo family are sworn siblings. Although Huo Zhijue later married into the Pei family, they still keep in touch." The Xu and Huo families have a good relationship, and Old Xu has some understanding of the grudges and hatreds of the younger generation. "Before you came back, Jiang Ranran told me a brief account of what happened in Beichen and Dongchao this time. Even if Si Xu hadn't been here, the Huo and Pei families would definitely be more willing to protect Jiang Yize's daughter than the Yan family."
“…”
"What's more..." The old man paused and sighed, "She already has secrets."
Xu Hesui had long been confused by the relationship between the two, and at this moment he just subconsciously repeated: "Secret?"
"Jiang Ranran encountered that mutant zombie outside the base." Old Man Xu was at home, well-informed. Seeing the younger generation's bewildered expression, he sneered, "Didn't anyone ask her how she escaped?"
Someone asked, and she said... Thinking of the girl's answer, the veins in the corners of Xu Hesui's eyes jumped twice: "She said, it's because she is cute..."
"You believe this kind of nonsense!"
Of course no one believed her, but she clearly didn't want to tell the truth, so what could they do?
"Don't you understand yet?" Old Xu knocked on the table, hoping to enlighten the stubborn man in front of him. "Jiang Ranran was able to escape from that zombie safely - this is her asset, idiot!"
Xu Hesui was stunned.
"If you were to encounter that mutant zombie, how confident are you that you could escape?!"
Xu Hesui was silent, and his straight waist slumped slightly.
"Do you need me to explain it more clearly? She suddenly came to our house today. Do you think she really came here to visit? She just came to make an example of someone. If you continue to mess around with the Yan family, it won't just be you who will be in trouble. It will be our entire Xu family."
After the old man finished yelling, he turned to the housekeeper standing beside him and said, "Lock him back to his room. No one is allowed to let him out without my order!"
"Grandpa!" Xu Hesui looked up in surprise. "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I still have work to do. I won't go to the Yan family again. I..."
"I'll temporarily hand over your work to Henian." Old Xu leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes wearily. "You stay home and reflect on your mistakes!"
"Grandpa! I really know I was wrong! Please forgive me! Grandpa..."
"Take him away!"
A person with special abilities came in and dragged Xu Hesui out. The man's unwilling roar came from the corridor and quickly dissipated into the air.
After everyone else left, Xu Henian came in from the door.
The old man glanced at his eldest grandson and said helplessly, "Henian, you said he was a talented person, so I promoted him. This time, you were wrong - our Xu family was almost killed by him."
Xu Henian lowered his head and said: "Hesui is still too young, and he always does things impulsively and willfully like a young man."
"Young?" The old man laughed sarcastically, "Do you think Jiang Ranran looks young? As I recall, she's eight years younger than you."
"yes."
"Even the little girl knows to capture the leader first and to strike the snake at its weakest point. Look at him, he's been in charge for so long, yet he's always been so eager for quick success and instant benefits, never striving for progress, and only thinking of taking shortcuts!" The old man grew angrier as he spoke. "Based on this alone, anyone with a bit of vision would just use him as a tool—idiot, he actually thought that old fox of the Yan family really wanted to promote him!"
"Grandpa, calm down." After comforting him gently, Xu Henian helped the old man to rest.
"Henian, I know you don't want to fight with your brother..." The old man stopped him before he left, "But, Henian, sometimes some things are yours, and you can't hide from them no matter how hard you try."
Xu Henian lowered his eyes, said good night and left the room without saying anything more.
Xu Hesui's room was also on this floor. Standing in the corridor, he could faintly hear the man's roar. Xu Hesui forced a wry smile, and the words the girl said before she left came to his mind again.
"Conflicts are never resolved by avoiding them. You keep retreating, yet some people take it for granted. To be honest, what he did this time wasn't excessive. I'm too lazy to argue with him. But if there's a next time... if you retreat, your Xu family might not be able to survive—Xu Henian, don't you understand? If the Xu family is left in the hands of that kind of person, there will be no future at all."
She saw through his little thoughts at a glance and pointed them out directly.
Conflicts cannot be resolved by escaping - this is a truth that even girls eight years younger than him understand, but he has been struggling with it.
The man shook his head and walked towards the study.
He is still possessed by the devil. He is the one who is most confused. This probably refers to him.
…
After Jiang Ran took over Shen Yang's job, he held several base meetings in a row. As the number of attendances increased, people gradually noticed that the person who had yelled at the girls in the meeting before had never appeared again.
After discovering this, those guys will be much more restrained when facing girls.
Mr. Yan naturally also found that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction. He arranged for someone to go to the Xu family to inquire about Xu Hesui's situation. It was Xu Hesui who received the person, who just said that his brother was ill and inconvenient to see guests, and then sent the person away.
It was obvious that this was an excuse, which might be used by the Xu family to put Xu Hesui under house arrest... He didn't believe that Jiang Ranran was not behind the scenes fanning the flames.
If he could find out news about the Xu family, then naturally others could too.
After knowing Xu Hesui's fate, the families that were originally prepared to take sides or had already taken sides returned to a neutral attitude again. The people who diligently visited the Yan family every day disappeared. Old Yan was about to scold the fence-sitter when the housekeeper hurried in and said that the young master had a fight with someone in a bar and was hung on the city wall by the other party.
Yan Jue had mostly external injuries, but except for one arm which was still hanging, he was able to jump around again.
This jump caused another accident.
Bars are a place where all kinds of people gather, and Yan Jue invited his friends to the bar to drink and relieve their sorrows, and vent the depression they had been feeling recently. However, after they had a few drinks, they saw a pretty girl and immediately started to tease her.
The girl was a person with special abilities, and her friends were all people with special abilities as well. Yan Jue didn't get any advantage and was beaten up by a group of people.
The girl's brother found a rope from somewhere and while the girl was unconscious, he stripped her down to her underwear and hung her on the city wall.
The passing psychic team pretended not to see anything and let the man hang on the city wall all night.
When the Yan family discovered it the next day, the foot of the city wall was full of people watching the fun.
The young master of the Yan family became famous overnight, causing the entire Yan family to become a laughing stock in the base.
The Yan family naturally would not give up, but when they went to investigate the surveillance, they were told that the surveillance cameras on the entire street had short-circuited that night and did not record anything.
After receiving this response, Mr. Yan was so angry that he vomited blood. His hands were shaking and trembling for a long time and he couldn't speak. Finally, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
…
When Huo Lingyin led the team to the Xiling base, it was the morning when Yan Jue was hung on the city wall.
Jiang Ran deliberately chose the gate closest to the scene to wait for her. After picking her up, the two chatted and then walked to the scene of eating melons.
"Oh my god, are all the people at Xiling Base so unrestrained?" Huo Lingyin, who prided herself on being a playboy and amorous, was shocked. "What kind of acrobatics are they performing? Amazing!"
