Chapter 81 Qin Zhuo Returns to Base
the next day.
Qiao Yue frowned and asked with a puzzled look, "That's strange, why didn't Young Master Ye come today?"
Chen Yunfei chimed in, "Yeah, it's pretty strange. He was so arrogant yesterday when he made those tough threats, but I don't know why he's suddenly gone silent today."
Qiao Yue paced back and forth in the living room. "Could he be plotting something? He made some harsh remarks yesterday, how could he not come today? He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would give up easily."
Qiao Yan sat on the sofa and pondered for a moment, "Let's go out for a walk later and find out some news about Young Master Ye."
Upon hearing this, Yuxiang was so happy she almost jumped for joy. "Great! I can finally go out for a walk. I've been so cooped up inside!"
She looked at Mr. Shen, who was sitting to the side reading a book, and took his arm, saying, "Uncle, you should come too."
Mr. Shen, who was reading, looked up with a gentle smile on his face and waved his hand, "I won't go."
Shen Jia wanted to go out, but seeing her father stay, she felt uneasy and quickly said, "Dad, I'll stay here with you. If something happens to you while I'm not by your side, there will be no one to take care of you."
Father Shen smiled and patted Shen Jia on the shoulder.
"I don't need you to come with me. You should go out more with Xiaoyouzi and the others to learn about the base. It will be good for you. Besides, my injury is almost healed. What could possibly happen to me?"
"Uncle, I'll leave Mimi here to keep you company!"
Yu Xiang had a sudden inspiration and picked up Mimi, who was dozing off nearby, and placed her next to Shen's father.
Mimi meowed and rubbed her head against her father's hand.
Youxiang pulled Shen Jia away, saying as they walked, "Little brother Shen Jia, Uncle isn't alone anymore. Come with us. Mimi is so amazing; with her around, Uncle will definitely be alright."
"Um."
Shen Jia nodded. He knew that Mimi was no ordinary cat, and having her around made him feel safe to go out.
After leaving the villa, before Yuxiang and the others had even had a chance to inquire, news about Ye Yufan reached their ears.
Many people in the base were whispering and discussing Ye Yufan's situation.
"Did you know? Young Master Ye got beaten up?"
"Who dares to hit Young Master Ye? Isn't this like provoking a tyrant?"
"I heard that Young Master Ye is still unable to get out of bed, and that he will need at least three months to recover. This injury is quite serious."
"Is the base lord very angry?"
"Of course, since Young Master Ye doesn't know who hit him, the base owner has someone investigate. The base owner won't have peace of mind until the culprit is found."
"If they get caught, that person is finished; they'll definitely be kicked out of the base."
"How could it be just a simple matter of kicking him out of the base? That person probably won't even be able to save his life."
...
Qiao Yue lowered her voice, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "That's great! I wonder who did this? They took care of that annoying Young Master Ye. It's so satisfying!"
The schadenfreude in his tone was obvious.
Yuka, standing to the side, unconsciously raised her chin slightly, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes.
hey-hey!
That's right, it was this "helpful" zombie who did it.
Chen Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief, "Then we can at least have three months of peace. Hopefully, the person who hit Young Master Ye won't be caught."
Yu Xiang hummed softly to herself.
Want to arrest her? No way!
She followed the method in the TV series, covering herself up so much that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
Qiao Yan glanced at You Xiang, who was inexplicably excited, and then thought about how You Xiang had inexplicably taken a shower and washed her hair yesterday, making herself look very clean. She gradually began to have some guesses.
Qiao Yue looked around at everyone and asked, "So where do we go next?"
Yuxiang immediately suggested, "Let's go to the trading market first, then we'll go see Dongdong and the others."
Qiao Yue nodded in agreement: "I agree."
Seeing that no one else objected, Yuxiang and her group set off for the trading market in high spirits.
Meanwhile, at the base entrance.
The rescue convoy, which was out on a mission, slowly drove in.
Qin Zhuo was the first to jump out of the car. He was travel-worn and looked tired, but his eyes were full of anticipation.
After the routine inspection, they couldn't wait to head to the villa.
I wonder if that heartless little pomelo has missed me after all this time.
Maybe that little girl has already forgotten about him completely.
"Ding-dong—Ding-dong—"
Qin Zhuo stood in front of the door and deliberately rang the doorbell, wanting to give everyone a surprise.
In the living room, Mr. Shen, who was reading a book, got up upon hearing the sound.
He deliberately looked out through the peephole first and saw a strange young man standing outside, but he looked like Brother Qin that Chen Yunfei had described.
He opened the door.
Qin Zhuo looked at the unfamiliar middle-aged man in front of her, took a half step back in confusion, and then looked up to confirm the house number.
He didn't go to the wrong place. Who is this?
Before he could ask, Father Shen smiled and asked, "Are you Qin Zhuo?"
"That's me," Qin Zhuo said as he entered, "and you are?"
Mr. Shen explained, “My name is Shen Qing, and I am Shen Jia’s father.”
Qin Zhuo frowned.
Shen Jia, who is this?
He put down his backpack and poured himself a glass of water.
Father Shen spoke first, "A lot has happened while you were away..."
He recounted the recent events in detail, and when he mentioned Ye Yufan's entanglement with Youxiang, Qin Zhuo suddenly exuded a chilling aura.
Qin Zhuo's fingers tightened unconsciously around the water glass, his knuckles turning bluish-white.
Qin Zhuo gently placed the empty cup on the table, the glass making a soft sound as it touched the wooden surface.
He suppressed his surging emotions and said calmly, "I understand the situation. I'm going to take a shower first."
After saying that, Qin Zhuo walked towards the room.
Mr. Shen gave a gentle and apologetic smile and quickly said, "By the way, my son and I were temporarily staying in your room before. A few days ago, everyone cleaned out an empty room, so we moved out of your room."
Qin Zhuo waved his hand, "It's alright. The room's empty anyway, you can stay for a few days."
He then went into the bathroom.
He hadn't had a proper shower in a long time after being away for so many days.
Qin Zhuo took a comfortable shower, carefully rinsed her hair, and walked out of the room feeling refreshed.
He looked at Mr. Shen, who was getting canned fish for Mimi in the living room, and asked, "Uncle, have Xiaoyouzi and the others said when they'll be back?"
Mr. Shen placed the opened can of fish in front of Mimi, patted the crumbs off his hands, and said, "I didn't say anything, but they might go to the trading market. Little Yuzu kept saying she wanted to go there a few days ago."
