'Hiss~'
[Master, Big Brother, over here!]
The three had only taken a few steps when Little Silver crawled out from under the shattered container and called out to them.
Jiang Nian'an subtly tickled Shen Nanxing's palm, then looked down at her feet. "Brother Shen, wait a minute, my shoelace is untied."
"Let me tie it for you."
Shen Nanxing released her hand, took a step forward, and squatted down in front of her.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Yin climbed to his side and slipped into Shen Nanxing's sleeve.
Then, when Shen Nanxing pretended to help Jiang Nian'an tie her shoelaces and took her hand again, he climbed onto Jiang Nian'an.
[Master, there's a very wide and long tunnel underneath these boxes. Those zombies came out of that tunnel.]
Little Silver hid in Jiang Nian'an's collar and whispered.
"However, we discovered it a bit too late; we only found it after the zombies had already escaped."
"Hmm, the King and the little blood fox are still guarding the tunnel?"
Jiang Nian'an leaned against Shen Nanxing's chest, using his tall figure as cover, and talked to Xiao Yin.
"Yes." Little Silver nodded.
"Besides zombies, is there anything else in that tunnel?"
[No, those zombies weren't originally in the tunnel; they came in from the other end.]
Where is the other opening?
Xiao Yin suddenly fell silent for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "I don't know how to say it, but I know how to go."
"Okay, then you take us there."
【Alright, then masters, stay close to me.】
Little Silver silently crawled to the ground again, and in the blink of an eye, it darted into the gaps in the ruins, leaving only a small tip of its tail sticking out as a landmark for Jiang Nian'an and the other two.
"Brother Chen, Xiao Zhanzhan, let's go with Xiao Yin."
——————
The Bai family.
Grandpa Bai was sitting on the sofa, calmly sipping a cup of hot tea, with two plates of delicate pastries in front of him.
On a rainy day like this, you should brew a pot of hot tea, sit by the window, drink tea, eat some snacks, and listen to the rain.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, something terrible has happened!"
Suddenly, panicked screams came from outside the door.
The sound startled Old Master Bai, who was immersed in the sound of rain.
His hand trembled, the teacup tilted, and half a cup of tea spilled onto his clothes.
"......"
Old Master Bai's face suddenly darkened.
The next second, the Bai family's butler appeared at the entrance of the main house.
Before he could even stand still, a teacup smashed in his face, hitting him squarely on the head.
"What are you yelling about, you unruly brat?"
Blood immediately seeped from the butler's head, but he dared not be angry or speak, and just stood there silently, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
The anger in Old Master Bai's heart dissipated somewhat as the teacup shattered, and he looked at the butler and asked, "What happened?"
"The young lady has been beaten up..."
The butler pressed his sleeve against the wound on his head, his head hanging low, not daring to look at Old Master Bai.
The young lady was the old man's most beloved granddaughter, and he couldn't even imagine how furious the old man would be upon hearing this news.
"What did you say?"
As expected, Old Master Bai abruptly stood up, leaning on his cane as he strode over to the butler, his wrinkled face filled with anger.
"Explain yourself clearly! Who was hit?"
"Yes, Miss has been beaten..."
Seeing the increasingly grim face of Old Master Bai, the butler was also panicking, but he still forced himself to continue, "It was Young Master Shen's girlfriend who did it."
"Shen Nanxing's girlfriend..."
Old Master Bai's gaze paused, and a chill crept into his rough, hoarse voice, "That orphan girl?"
Even in the apocalypse, it was still very easy for him to retrieve a person's information from the database.
Or rather, each of the six families had a copy of the information about Shen Nanxing's girlfriend.
Jiang Nian'an, an orphan with no parents, no power, and no influence.
It was only because she had some connection with Shen Nanxing that these people paid more attention to her.
But it's only a little bit.
After all, a top-tier family like theirs would never allow their heir to marry an orphan...
"It's that girl!"
The butler nodded obediently.
"Prepare the car, let's go to the Shen family."
Old Master Bai narrowed his eyes, his loose, aged eyelids revealing a dark depth, occasionally flashing with a captivating glint.
"Yes!" the butler hurriedly replied and left to prepare the car.
In his constant panic, he failed to notice that Old Master Bai had never shown any concern for Bai Zhenzhen's injuries.
The car was ready quickly and drove Grandpa Bai to the Shen family's house.
On the way, they passed by Yunhua and his group's car.
"Is that the old man from the Bai family?"
Yunfan lowered the car window and glanced back at the car that had already driven away.
Yunhua glanced at the Bai family's car through the rearview mirror. "Hmm, they must be going to the Shen family to seek justice for Bai Zhenzhen."
"Let's turn around and go to the Shen family's place, so that the old man won't keep spouting nonsense."
Yunfan cracked his knuckles, looking fierce.
"No need. Since Brother Shen didn't make any special arrangements, it means he knows what he's doing."
Yunhua shook her head, refusing Yunfan's request, "Let's go back to the Yun family to choose people first."
"Alright!"
Yunfan also realized what was happening and regained his composure.
The Shen family study.
"Grandpa, that's how it is."
Shen Nanchuan stood in front of Old Master Shen and recounted the situation in the container area, including the matter of Jiang Nian'an and Bai Zhenzhen.
