Chapter 343, Can Protect
After the woman caught her breath, she stood up straight, holding her waist. Her eyes rolled around twice and stopped on Shen Yang.
The man's face was slightly pale, making him look lifeless, but his clothes were spotless, and coupled with his outstanding appearance, it was obvious that he was an upper-class person in the base - different from ordinary people like them who were struggling to make a living.
Tao Luyi had been missing for so long, and they thought she had been killed by those supernatural beings. But, she had secretly hooked up with a big shot...
Judging only by appearance, this man is much better than those psychics chosen by Lao Tao.
The woman pursed her lips and spoke in a long tone, "Hey, Luyi, you said you haven't been home for so long, your father and I were so worried about you. We finally met today, why did you run so fast?"
Tao Luyi lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Her stepmother didn't know sign language. Before the apocalypse, they communicated with each other through mobile phones, pen and paper. After the apocalypse... she was the one who ordered her around, and she had no chance to answer at all.
There was no opportunity, and gradually, I didn’t want to talk about it anymore.
The woman had long been accustomed to Tao Luyi's dull temperament, so her reaction to her was not surprising at all.
She continued to talk to herself: "Last time you were kidnapped by those people with special abilities, your father asked many people to save you. Hey, luckily you are okay. Come, come home with me. Your father has been thinking about you all this time."
As she spoke, she stretched out her skinny hand, trying to grab the girl's wrist.
She could see clearly that the fabric of the girl's clothes was the finest silk, and the skin exposed outside was white and clean, which was nothing like the state an ordinary person would be in after struggling to survive.
It can be seen that she is living a good life now. Perhaps, when they thought she was suffering at the hands of those superpowers, she was living a life of luxury in some villa or manor.
I think she can live such a good life because of the man beside her.
Haha, it seems that having a good-looking face does have its advantages. At least it can ensure that she will not have to worry about food and clothing in such troubled times.
The woman thought sourly, with jealousy that was hard to conceal in her eyes.
Before the woman's fingers touched the girl's wrist, Shen Yang grabbed her arm and pulled her behind him.
"Who are you?" He saw through the woman's thoughts and spoke in a cold tone with a hint of boredom and fatigue.
Tao Luyi staggered two steps as he pulled her, and when she looked up she saw his profile dappled with sunlight.
She suddenly remembered that she was like this when she first met him, trying hard to look up at his face - that day, the instinct for survival made her use her last bit of strength to grab his trouser legs, and also grab the hope of life.
Ever since she was sold by her father, all her hopes were given by him.
The girl hurriedly lowered her eyelashes to cover the ripples in her eyes.
Wu Xiaoli was born in the city, and after struggling in the apocalypse for so long, she was even more shameless. Seeing Shen Yang protecting Tao Luyi, she immediately changed her face, smiled flatteringly, and said in a sweet voice: "I am Wu Xiaoli, Luyi's mother. I wonder if you are..."
Mother? Looking at the woman in front of him, Shen Yang curled his lips: "So you are her relative? My name is Shen Yang, and I am her savior. She never mentioned it to you?"
He is used to being frivolous, and his smile is charming and charming, which is the most alluring.
Wu Xiaoli was stunned and stammered when she replied: "No, no."
"That's a pity."
Shen Yang put his arm around the girl's shoulders, and with his fingers resting on her shoulders, he hooked a strand of hair and played with it between his fingers.
"Come to think of it, she's been with me for so long, but I never seem to hear her mention you guys... Ah, so, she still has relatives alive?"
Seeing the man's ambiguous attitude, Wu Xiaoli glanced at Tao Luyi in a reproachful manner: "Child, you have been with Mr. Shen for so long, why didn't you bring him back to see me and your father?"
She looked at Shen Yang again and smiled awkwardly: “This child has been like this since he was young, not very talkative, hehe.”
Shen Yang nodded: "Ah, she really doesn't like to express herself very much - speaking of which, since you are her relative, you should know who sold her to those people with special abilities, right?"
Wu Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat, and she tentatively asked, "What do you mean by selling it to a person with special abilities? I, I don't quite understand..."
"When I first saw her, this poor little girl was so miserable." Shen Yang looked distressed. "She was covered in wounds, with several broken ribs. She was barely hanging on. Tsk tsk, those unofficial psychics have no one to supervise them, and they don't know how to be gentle with women. Selling such a beautiful little girl to them, don't they just want her to die?"
Was Tao Luyi snatched from those psychics by this man? Was he even more powerful than them? If he knew who sold her… Wu Xiaoli's body trembled uncontrollably, and her smile faltered. "I don't know. It turns out Luyi was sold. We all heard she went with him because she fell in love with the psychic…"
Tao Luyi suddenly looked up and glared angrily at the woman who was speaking.
She sold him out, and after she finally found redemption, he still lied and slandered her reputation.
The body beneath his palm suddenly tensed, sensing her rare anger. Shen Yang's smile remained unchanged, pinching the girl's face and laughing: "So there is such a saying? It doesn't matter, I have arranged for people to investigate. I think we will know the truth in the next few days."
"Huh?" Wu Xiaoli was completely panicked. "If they find out, what do you want to do?"
The little man who had never seen the world was frightened by all kinds of bullying in the end times. He thought he could just follow his stepdaughter and get some benefits, but who knew that he seemed to have offended some big shot now. He suddenly forgot to hide his original thoughts in his words and deeds, and all his panic and fear were exposed in front of others.
Shen Yang answered the woman's question in a joking tone: "Once we find out the truth, we will naturally skin that man and tear his bones apart, and drive everyone around him out of the base and throw them outside to feed the zombies."
"Kick them out of the base?" the woman repeated sharply, then realized she was reacting too violently. "Um... just kicking them out of the base casually, is that okay?"
"Others can't, but I can." Shen Yang laughed wantonly and answered nonchalantly.
Wu Xiaoli became even more panicked. She was about to say something when someone came towards her from the corner of the street.
"Huh? Big brother?" The person who came was a young girl, followed by several young men wearing the uniforms of the Special Ability Team.
She spoke to Tao Luyi in a familiar manner: "Sister Luyi, are you coming out for a walk with Big Brother?"
After saying that, he looked at the woman opposite him with doubt in his eyes: "Who is this..."
She had already been frightened to the point of her legs going weak by the uniforms on the other side. When she heard the girl ask about her identity, she immediately thought of the miserable fate of being kicked out of the base: "I, I'm just a passerby!"
After the woman finished yelling, she ran away, her legs shaking and crawling.
Jiang Ran: "..." Is she that scary?
