"Luo Yi, what happened?"
Someone clever informed Shen Nanchuan that Qiao Huaxi was with him, so the two of them came over together.
Upon seeing the two, Luo Yi suppressed his anger and recounted what had happened earlier.
After listening, Shen Nanchuan looked down at Zhong Minglang and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Luo Yue was someone he watched grow up; she was like a younger sister to him.
However, as the leader of a private force, he cannot turn his back on someone as easily as Luo Yi.
"Chief Zhong, it's chilly outside, why don't we go inside and talk?"
Shen Nanchuan walked slowly to Zhong Anqing's side, reached out to help him up, and then gestured to his men to help Zhong Minglang to the adjacent prefabricated house.
"Luo Yi, come in too."
"Um."
Luo Yi instructed his subordinates to arrange accommodations and then went inside.
The group sat down on the living room sofa, and Qiao Huaxi went to draw the curtains to make sure that no one outside could see what was happening inside.
Shen Nanchuan picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water for Zhong Anqing before slowly saying, "Uncle Zhong, my grandfather mentioned you to me before, saying that you are a reasonable and benevolent elder, and that with such a good elder as you, the Zhong family's descendants will surely all be outstanding and worthy of being close friends."
"this--"
Upon hearing Shen Nanchuan's words, Zhong Anqing's face flushed red, and she looked extremely excited.
In his youth, he had the opportunity to receive guidance from the old master of the Shen family, from which he benefited greatly; it could even be said that the old master was a guiding light on his path to success.
So all these years he has actually wanted to contact the Shen family and visit them to express his gratitude for their kindness back then.
Unfortunately, the Shen family was almost completely isolated from the world before the apocalypse, so he didn't have that opportunity.
After the apocalypse, he was busy with the base's affairs and had no time to visit Beijing.
Therefore, when Shen Nanchuan came to the base city of L province and mentioned the matter of fighting against the Bi family together, he agreed without hesitation.
This was not only due to the circumstances, but also because they wanted to repay the kindness shown to them back then.
"I never expected that the old man would still remember someone as insignificant as me, let alone value me so much. I am so happy and touched..."
Zhong Anqing's eyes welled up with tears, and she was almost in tears.
"This is the first time I've ever seen my grandfather so respectful of someone, so I've shown you great respect throughout the journey and am extremely curious about the younger generation in your family."
However, due to time constraints and the rush of travel, I have not been able to get to know and befriend the junior you value most.
I had planned to visit and make friends after settling in, but today's incident—"
Shen Nanchuan sighed, a hint of helplessness in his expression, but a coldness shone in his eyes.
"Uncle Zhong, Zhong Minglang, as a child you value, must have extraordinary abilities."
But Yueyue is still very young, and she's not only our most beloved little sister, but also the joy of all the old folks in the family. Minglang's joke went too far.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhong Anqing's anger had long since vanished, replaced by a deep sense of guilt. She nodded repeatedly, "I spoiled this child, I—"
He looked around, then suddenly got up, went to the kitchen, grabbed a rolling pin, and walked over to Zhong Minglang, who was still groaning in pain. He raised his hand and hit him.
"You scoundrel, you've completely lost your manners! I'll teach you a lesson for talking nonsense!"
After a few blows with the stick, Zhong Minglang passed out.
Shen Nanchuan watched coldly until now, when he stepped forward to stop Zhong Anqing with a perfunctory gesture, looking at him sincerely.
"Uncle Zhong, Luo Yi was just trying to protect his sister and got angry in a moment of anger. He lost his temper and didn't think straight. I apologize to you on his behalf and hope you won't hold it against him."
There are still tough battles to fight, and we must unite against external threats!
"Nanchuan, don't worry, your Uncle Zhong isn't the kind of person who sides with his own family!"
Zhong Anqing raised his hand and patted Shen Nanchuan on the shoulder, "This is this bastard's fault. Luo Yi did a good job. I have to thank him for helping me teach Alang a lesson and preventing this good-for-nothing from making an even bigger mistake!"
He turned to thank Luo Yi, his attitude very sincere.
Luo Yi's anger had not yet subsided, but Shen Nanchuan had already laid the groundwork for him for so long, so he had to put on a forced smile for Zhong Anqing.
Seeing this, Shen Nanchuan's eyes lit up with a smile. "Uncle Zhong, we all have a lot of things to take care of, so I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Let's both let this matter drop today.
As for Minglang, we hope you can be understanding and not hold a grudge against us.
Shen Nanchuan laughed heartily and saw Zhong Anqing and the others out.
Zhong Anqing quickly said no, and then, under the watchful eyes of Shen Nanchuan and the others, was sent back by the Shen family.
As soon as the person left, the faces of the three people in the room immediately turned cold.
"If I didn't still need them, I would have punched that idiot to death just now!"
Luo Yi sat down on the sofa, picked up his cup, and gulped down three glasses of cold water.
"Zhong Anqing is a very pragmatic person."
After today's incident, Zhong Minglang will definitely be removed from his list of candidates for base commander...
Hmph, a piece of trash who's been abandoned—"
Shen Nanchuan sneered, "You'll have plenty of opportunities to vent your anger."
Luo Yi shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
"However, Yueyue was indeed wronged by what happened today. After we return to Beijing, Yueyue can choose whatever she wants from my private stash as compensation."
"Let's not talk about this between us!" Luo Yi waved his hand. "The bigger picture is what matters right now."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Don't tell Yueyue about this, so she won't get angry too."
