Chapter 194 Adding Fuel to the Fire
As soon as the door closed, He Zhuo couldn't wait to ask, "What's Zhong Song up to?"
Gu Qi: "Nan Nan's move was quite intimidating..."
He Zhuo nodded: "Fortunately, Mei Bao acted quickly; none of the onlookers even saw us make a move!"
Lu Xici leaned back on the sofa: "Quite a few people witnessed our fight..."
He Zhuo: "Then why weren't there a single 'helpful citizen' complaining?"
Lu Xici: "Anyone still living in this villa area who's alive now isn't shrewd? They naturally know that protecting themselves is the most important thing. Why would they risk offending us to stand up for a dead man?"
Gu Wan suddenly realized, "No wonder Nan Nan just blew their heads off; it was to intimidate everyone..."
Lu Nange: "The main problem is that the one about relying on family connections is just too noisy!"
He Zhuo immediately perked up: "Exactly! It's one thing to want to kill us, but to try and steal our Yan-ge? Don't they even look at their own faces—"
Chi Yanzhou: "You'll be cooking from now on? With your embellishments, it's a shame you're not in charge of the kitchen."
He Zhuo instantly deflated like a punctured balloon, drooping his head: "Brother Yan, I was wrong..."
"Gurgle~"
Lu Beiye clutched his stomach, his ear tips turning red.
Lu Nange: "Is our Aye hungry? What would you like to eat today?"
Lu Beiye tilted her chubby little face up: "I'm not picky about food anymore, sister!"
Lu Nange deliberately dragged out her words, "So, shall we have a completely vegetarian feast today? One serving of all the green vegetables plus one serving of carrots?"
Lu Beiye puffed out his chubby cheeks and tugged at her clothes: "Sister! I'm still growing!"
Lu Nange and the other three girls felt their hearts melt: [Our A-Ye is so cute...]
If Gu Qi and the others knew what they were thinking, they'd probably mutter a sarcastic remark: "You guys have such a thick filter for your own kid, don't you? A-Ye kills people and zombies without batting an eye!"
......
After warning the trio who had been keeping an eye on Lu Nange's group, Zhong Song had just stepped into his house when Zhao Ding called him over.
When he arrived, Zhao Ding was pacing anxiously in the study.
"Brother, what happened?" Zhong Song's Adam's apple bobbed.
"That Huanhuan said she was leading a group to seek revenge, and we haven't heard from her since!" Zhao Ding turned around abruptly: "We've searched the entire base, but we still haven't found her..."
Zhong Song: "Brother, Zhao Huan has men with him, so nothing should happen to him!"
Zhao Ding: "Ah Song, do you think it could be Liu Hanhai?"
Zhong Song: "Big Brother, the base commander personally led the team to wipe out the zombies today..."
Zhao Ding slammed his fist on the table, making the teacup clatter: "Besides Liu Hanhai, who dares to touch my daughter?!"
Just as Zhong Song was about to speak, a guard covered in sweat staggered in.
"Did you find it?" Zhao Ding grabbed the guard by the collar.
The guard's face turned pale: "We've checked all the checkpoints... Miss Huanhuan has no record of leaving the base..."
"Useless!" Zhao Ding shoved the guard aside and turned to look out the window. "My daughter hasn't even left the base. Do you think she can just vanish into thin air inside the base?"
Zhong Song stepped forward at the opportune moment and gently pressed Zhao Ding's trembling arm: "Brother, the most important thing now is to hurry up and search. It'll be troublesome once the temperature rises..."
Zhao Ding took a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger: "Ah Song, it's up to you."
"Don't worry, brother." Zhong Song gave a wink and quickly withdrew with the guards.
......
Unbeknownst to Lu Nange and her group, the base was in complete chaos due to Zhao Huan's disappearance.
The afternoon sun shone through the living room curtains, casting dappled shadows on the floor.
Lu Nange stretched, holding Zhizhi, who was munching on fruit and dripping with juice.
Gangzi bounced twice on her shoulder and then "whoosh" flew towards the living room—
Lu Beiye sat on a high chair at the dining table, his short legs dangling in the air, his eyes fixed on Chi Yanzhou and Chi Yi's sparring match.
"Sister!" Upon spotting Lu Nange, the little guy jumped off the chair and rushed over like a little cannonball.
Lu Nange pressed down on the fluffy head with one hand and took out a carton of milk from her spatial storage.
Gangzi immediately flapped its wings and moved to a different spot, jumping around on Lu Beiye's shoulder: "Aye! Aye!"
"Gangzi~ Zhizhi~" Lu Beiye inserted the straw, and didn't forget to poke the little tree man with his finger.
Zhizhi twisted her vines, seemingly hesitant, and picked out the reddest strawberry, stuffing it into Lu Beiye's mouth. The tip of the vine even considerately wiped the peel.
"Chirp chirp..."
[Master's younger brother, eat...]
Lu Beiye: "Thank you, Zhizhi!"
