After Lin Jiayun's outburst, Xiao Longzhan and Yun Fan lost their desire to go to the market and simply followed Shen Nanchuan and the other two to find Jiang Nian'an and the others.
"younger brother!"
Shen Nanchuan rushed into Shen Nanxing's and Shen Nanxing's residence in a flurry of activity.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an were sorting through the clues they had recently obtained when they heard this and looked up at him.
"Little brother, am I your older brother?"
Shen Nanchuan rushed up to Shen Nanxing and asked with a serious expression across the coffee table.
Shen Nanxing: ? ? ?
"What do you mean? You're not my brother, so who are you?"
Shen Nanxing was speechless, and Jiang Nian'an was equally bewildered.
"I don't know who I am, that's why I'm asking you..."
Shen Nanchuan looked anxious and uneasy as he gazed at Shen Nanxing.
Shen Nanxing: ? ? ?
He pinched the bridge of his nose, then turned to look at Yunfan. "What's wrong with him now?"
Yunfan was equally confused, shaking his head in utter bewilderment, "I don't know."
He only saw Shen Nanchuan and Qiao Huaxi exchange a few words before Shen Nanchuan hurriedly walked this way.
"Perhaps, she knew."
Yunfan gestured with his chin toward Qiao Huaxi.
Shen Nanxing looked towards Qiaohuaxi.
Qiao Huaxi didn't act all high and mighty, and sat down directly opposite Shen Nanxing and the other person, saying, "At the beginning of the apocalypse, Brother Nanchuan awakened the metal element, but after meeting you and returning to Beijing, he became the lightning element."
Upon hearing this, Shen Nanxing understood what Shen Nanchuan meant.
They guessed that Old Master Shen was probably worried about the news leaking out, so he didn't tell them the details.
"Don't worry, you're my own brother."
He looked at Shen Nanchuan with a serious expression, "That one wasn't it."
A bad feeling flashed through Qiao Huaxi's mind, and she quickly asked, "What do you mean?"
"I don't know what method they used, but they switched my brother with someone else before the apocalypse, until we met in Ning City."
As for what exactly happened, we'll have to wait until my brother recovers his lost memories to find out.
Shen Nanxing glanced at the silent Shen Nanchuan, his eyes flickering slightly, "If it can't be recovered, that's fine too."
Those days were definitely not a pleasant memory.
"No wonder..."
Qiao Huaxi lowered her eyes and murmured to herself, "During that time, Brother Nanchuan's attitude towards me was always strange. It turns out that the person was not Brother Nanchuan at all."
She was so stupid that she never suspected anything.
Jiang Nian'an looked up at her, feeling a sense of disbelief.
She always thought that Qiao Huaxi knew about this.
After all, Qiao Huaxi had never asked about this matter in detail since they returned to Beijing.
So, she didn't know...
(′-ι_-｀).
Qiao Huaxi's eyes suddenly turned fierce as she looked up at Shen Nanxing. "Was it the Bi family who did it?"
"It's uncertain. It could be the Lin family, the Bai family, or all three families together."
Shen Nanxing personally leans towards the last answer.
"I will never let them get away with this!"
Shen Nanxing gave her a somewhat awkward look, and finally said "Oh".
They've been on this for so long, and now she's finally not letting them go?
Qiao Huaxi's hands, resting on her knees, were clenched tightly, and her eyes were red.
She had previously only cooperated with Shen Nanxing, and mostly acted as a messenger between the Shen and Qiao families.
But after learning about this, she would no longer act as a gossip.
"I'm going back to the Qiao family."
Qiao Huaxi stood up abruptly, and for the first time upon returning to the Qiao family, she did not call out to Shen Nanchuan.
"Xi Xi," Shen Nanchuan chased after her without thinking, "I'll go back with you!"
"Brother Nanchuan, you go ahead with your work!"
Qiao Huaxi declined Shen Nanchuan's request to accompany her, saying, "I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she left in a hurry.
“Let her go, brother. Tell me about the situation in Baimu Village.”
"good."
Shen Nanchuan took a deep breath and sat down again.
"Just as you predicted, in addition to Baimu Village, several surrounding villages have also been targeted by the same culprits."
None of the villagers who were desperately protected by the six families and the army escaped; they became tools for the Bi family to be transferred from the container area.
However, they left in a hurry, but still left behind quite a few traces.
Besides the tunnel in front of Shiraki Village, there was also a mess of footprints.
Although they had done everything in their power to destroy the area, we were still able to discern two directions from the footprints.
"Which two directions?" Jiang Nian'an asked.
“Province C and Province L”.
Shen Nanchuan got up, walked to the wall to the side, took down the map, spread it on the coffee table, and circled two places with a pen.
“I prefer Province C,” Shen Nanchuan said in a deep voice. “Province L is too far from Beijing. If we use it as a rendezvous point, even if the Bi family is wiped out, they probably won’t be able to get here in time.”
"Investigate both locations, and while you're at it, release information about the cause of the riots in the container area."
Shen Nanxing stared at the map, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
"In addition, the characteristics of the Bi family will be made public. Anyone who can provide clues will be rewarded with either supplies or crystal cores once the information is confirmed."
"Okay, I understand." Shen Nanchuan nodded.
"Any new news from Xing City?"
"Yes, the tunnel you asked us to investigate is now deserted, and the monsters that appeared before have not reappeared."
"Have someone keep an eye on it."
"Um!"
The Qiao family.
"Dad, I am willing to take on the responsibilities that belong to me."
Qiao Huaxi stood in front of her father, her voice firm.
Hearing this, Qiao Xingyang, who was busy at his desk, suddenly looked up at Qiao Huaxi, then turned to look at his father, who had a calm expression.
