After a busy night, Lin Yu and Gu Chen went straight to sleep.
Lin's mother lovingly covered the two of them with blankets, saying, "I was fiddling with it all night, going in and out, not sure if it would even work?"
Jiang Rong brewed two cups of black coffee, the rich aroma filling the kitchen. "No problem! Let's go out for a walk later and see if there's any show we can watch?"
"Great idea! Great minds think alike!"
When the others gradually got up, they found that the two people's shoes were no longer by the door.
Lin's father rubbed his dizzy forehead. "Those two must have gone out gossiping again!"
Jiang Junke poured a glass of warm water and placed it on the table. "These are their few hobbies, let them enjoy them!"
"Ha~ Dad! Uncle Jiang, good morning!"
Lin Anran came downstairs, looking sleepy and yawning several times.
"Good morning!"
Good morning, Ranran!
"I'm about to cook! What would you like to eat? Pancakes? Or scallion pancakes?"
"Hand-pulled pancake!"
Lin Anran's mouth watered just thinking about the hand-pulled pancakes she used to eat in college!
Hand-pulled pancakes with instant noodles, that's absolutely amazing!
Wearing an apron, Lin's father poked his head out of the kitchen. "Ranran, go outside and call your mother and aunt back! It's time to eat!"
"good!"
Jiang Qinian, who had just come downstairs, followed.
Jiang Junke smirked, "Sycophant!"
As soon as Lin's mother and her husband stepped out, they saw the walls covered with notices.
Announcement: Meng Dongcheng, deputy director of the Southern Security Base, is guilty of human trafficking, conducting unauthorized experiments, abducting men and women, trafficking children, seeking personal gain, and framing the base director!
Announcement: Meng Dongcheng, deputy director of the Southern Security Base, is guilty of human trafficking, conducting unauthorized experiments, abducting men and women, trafficking children, seeking personal gain, and framing the base director!
Announcement: Deputy Director of the Southern Security Base...
"Is what this says true? The deputy base commander is clearly not like that! How could he do such a thing?"
"Do they know? They have status, and they might actually use that status to do all sorts of illegal and criminal things."
"That's right! Didn't you know? For a period of time, the base commander mysteriously disappeared. It's very likely that he wanted to take over the base commander's position."
"He's such a good actor! We've all been completely fooled!"
Hu Kuan was awakened by the commotion. When he went out, he saw groups of people gathered together discussing something.
Upon closer inspection of the notice on the wall, he roared, "What are you saying? Can you guarantee that what's on the wall is true?"
The deputy base commander has been killed by them! With no one to corroborate their story, they can just spout whatever they want.
Lin's mother mingled in the crowd and quickly blended into the gossipy group.
"No! Who is he?"
The old lady next to her had a very good impression of Lin Ma, and she even told her gossip.
So, my gossipy heart couldn't be contained.
"You don't know him? He's a relative of that deputy base commander. Before, when the deputy base commander was still in power, he was always bullying people, either stealing their supplies or beating them up!"
Lin's mother nodded. "I knew it! Everyone knows what kind of person the deputy base commander is. Why is he in such a hurry now? Turns out he's lost his backer!"
Jiang Rong cracked sunflower seeds in her hand, "I'm not saying this to be mean, but can't anyone do anything about this guy? Dragging him out would be such a disgrace to our base!"
The old lady agreed, "Yes! You tell me, our base commander has been busy distributing supplies to everyone, how could he have time to clean up this piece of junk?"
The three people were huddled together, discussing the gossip they knew.
When Lin Anran and the other two arrived, they saw this scene.
"Those who are not family will not enter the same door."
Jiang Junke flashed to the three people's side, "Rongrong, you... ah! It hurts!"
Jiang Junke was slapped without warning. His face was contorted with grief, and he looked at his wife who had hit him with teary eyes.
"I'm here to call you home for dinner!"
"Oh? Oh, is that so! My dear~ You scared me! Don't disturb us while we're enjoying our gossip, it'll be over soon!"
"What are you all standing there for? Tear all of this up! It's definitely the base commander trying to absolve himself of his mistakes. Don't believe anything written on this!"
I swear on this right here!
If it's true! Then may I be struck by lightning!
"Boom! Boom!"
"Smack—"
"This is absolutely devastating! My God! Even the heavens couldn't stand it anymore! It seems what the notice said was true!"
"This is terrifying! Justice has descended from the heavens! It's only striking down the bad guys!"
"Brother Kuan! You...you guys go get help! Save them first!"
"Young man! We dare not save him! Didn't you see he swore an oath himself? Heaven is punishing him! If we help him, we'll definitely be in trouble too!"
The surrounding crowd kept their distance from that place of trouble, no matter how far they could go.
Lin Anran looked thoughtfully at the purplish-black lightning, then glanced in the direction of her home.
"Well done!"
Hu Kuan, who hadn't completely fainted, exhaled a breath of black smoke. "No, impossible! The deputy base commander wouldn't do such a thing. It's all a coincidence! It's a coincidence!"
"Smack—"
The person completely lost consciousness, and even those who came to help backed away.
"Holy crap! How could this be fake? One time it could be a coincidence, but a second time? This is terrifying! Now we can't even lie anymore! Everyone should be careful what they say from now on!"
"Mom! This is terrifying! This is the consequence of angering the heavens. So, Meng Dongcheng really is trafficking people? And conducting secret experiments?"
"Oh! I can finally speak! I've been holding this in for so long! My brother was tricked into going to the lab and had to do so many inhumane experiments. They almost ruined him, but thankfully the Fire Phoenix Squad rescued them!"
"Yes! Yes! My daughter too, she disappeared without a trace, then came back on her own and hasn't left the house since!"
"My home..."
You wouldn't believe it until you hear it; it's shocking to learn how many people have suffered such a terrible tragedy.
Everyone agreed on the same story, breaking out in a cold sweat. Luckily, they hadn't believed the rumors, or they wouldn't even know how they died!
The crowd dispersed, leaving only a black ball lying on the ground.
Lin's mother walked at the front, saying, "I'm going to give Xiaoyu a good reward when we get back! He did a great job this time! What a clever little devil!"
"Yeah! I think so too! Hahahaha!"
After everyone left, Wu Sen came out of the house and said, "Useless thing, what a waste of such a good opportunity!"
"Help...help me!"
"Get out of my way! Don't bother me! You're spreading all your filth to me!"
However, this incident isn't without its advantages; at the very least, it has generated discussion for a few days and attracted everyone's attention.
