Chapter 709: A Show of Power

"Where did you get these things?"

Ma Qiangzhuang didn't seem to expect her to ask this. He hesitated for a moment before replying, "I just recently accepted a small gang..."

Generally, when someone comes to your house with a gift, you either accept it or reject it. Why would you ask where the gift comes from?

Ma Qiangzhuang felt uneasy: There couldn’t be anything in here that belonged to her or her friend, right?

In the end times, everyone is scrambling for things, and a good thing can be passed on to other hands over and over again.

It would be fine if the stolen things were returned to the original owner. But she was afraid that it was something from an old friend of hers. If she took it out like this, wouldn't it mean that the old friend had met with an accident and the things were taken by someone else?

This gift is just a flattery.

The gifts he sent were not only collected from other places, but also found in his own warehouse. I hope that one of the enemies he killed happened to be An Meili's friend!

Ma Qiangzhuang carefully observed An Nan's expression, trying to figure out what she cared about so that he could think of something to say in advance.

He brought quite a few gifts this time, but most of them were in the backpack behind him. The only things she could see at a glance were definitely those held by him and Xu Xi. There were only three in total.

One is a jade plate in a glass box, engraved with a picture of a Qilin walking on snow.

One is a set of skin care products. It is said to be a well-known brand and women like it.

Another one is the famous ancient painting "Xuetang Kehua Tu", which was once a collection of the Palace Museum.

Ma Qiangzhuang originally thought that since An Meili had been living in a villa in the middle of the mountain and had not moved to the official base, she would definitely not lack basic supplies. That was why he carefully selected these things, hoping to get a bargain.

Qian Liang, a subordinate of his, said that Miss An loved winter and snow very much, and would even exchange precious food for his useless mink coat and snowmobile during extremely hot seasons.

So in order to please her, he brought many gifts related to snow.

I just don’t know which one An Meili cares about?

At this time, Annan on the opposite side had already withdrawn his gaze, with no expression on his face, and said calmly:

"Congratulations to the two bosses. It looks like they have reaped a lot of rewards!"

After a pause, he asked again, "Which small gang was it that was captured?"

Ma Qiangzhuang thought to himself that she was indeed very interested and kept asking about the origin of the gift.

So he considered his words and replied with a smile: "It's a small gang in the suburbs of Yucheng. They have been causing harm to the area for many years."

After a pause, he added: "We are also acting on behalf of heaven."

He made up his mind that no matter what the other party valued, he would say that he had received it from this gang. If there were any problems, he would blame them.

Anyway, this gang was indeed full of evil, and everyone in it had been killed by him.

Annan nodded and didn't say much.

Linglong Base was short of supplies, so it was normal for Ma Qiangzhuang to lead his men to conquer everywhere. Yucheng was right next to Linbei City, in the opposite direction of Jiangyang City.

The official base is right in the middle of Linbei City and Jiangyang City. It seems that Ma Qiangzhuang deliberately avoided the official base and went to Yucheng in the opposite direction to look for supplies.

Annan turned his gaze to Xu Xi who was standing beside him: "It's been a year since we last met. Why did you suddenly give me something?"

Don't even think of it as communicating feelings, that's too far-fetched.

If someone you haven't contacted for years suddenly comes to your house, there must be something wrong.

Xu Xi was a young girl after all, and her mind was simpler than Ma Qiangqiang's. She said bluntly: "Sister, we have something to ask of you!"

Ma Qiangzhuang's face froze for a moment, and he quickly added, "I also want to remind my sister of something."

An Nan was just about to let them speak their mind when Xu Xi held the gift in his hand and said flatteringly:

"Don't worry, sister. We have no bad intentions! Look, we didn't bring any men with us. We only brought a gun for self-defense on the road. We unloaded it in the car before getting off just now."

"If you're still worried, you can search me. We really have no ill intentions. We just ask you to be patient and talk to us..."

She showed her sincerity very well, first showing goodwill and then showing weakness.

Annan glanced at her red nose tip, then at the gift in Ma Qiangzhuang's hand. After thinking for a while, he finally said, "Come in and talk."

The two of them seemed to be asking for something and reminding her of something, so it seemed like they had more than one thing to discuss. And she also happened to have something to ask in detail.

The temperature was over 60 degrees below zero, and she didn't want to chat outside in the cold with them.

There was an electric heater and a fireplace in the room. She and Gu Zhiyu stayed warm without wearing any thermal clothing. But after standing outside for a while, her bones were already frozen.

Ma Qiangzhuang and Xu Xi were delighted to see that the other party was willing to discuss the matter with them in detail. "Okay, okay."

To be on the safe side, Annan did not bother to be polite with them. He followed Xu Xi's instructions and searched them carefully to make sure they had no weapons hidden before letting them into the house.

As soon as the two entered the door, they were surrounded by the three little ones.

Apart from Chu Peipei and the others, no outsiders had ever entered the house. In order to warn them, San Xiaozi showed off his power and wanted to show his power.

As soon as Xu Xi raised his eyes, he saw Fugui with his bloody mouth and a ferocious face. He screamed in fear and hid behind Ma Qiangzhuang.

Ma Qiangzhuang, however, didn't care about his wife. He saw a colorful object flashing in front of him, and before he could see it clearly, he felt his head sink - something stood on top of his head.

He was so frightened that his legs went limp and he couldn't help but shout out.

Just when the two were panicking, a muscular rabbit over one meter tall suddenly appeared, holding a big stone and dropped it in front of them.

Before they could react, the rabbit used its muscular body to smash the hammer to pieces with one punch.

Yes, just one punch and the stone broke.

Ma Qiangzhuang and Xu Xi were stunned.

I have been honest! Please let me go!!

Annan, who was standing by, looked at the three little ones' fierce looks and tried hard not to laugh out loud.

Her three pets are like spirits, and their ability to guard the house is very strong.

It's a pity that her big stone was wasted. It was originally intended to be used to pickle sauerkraut.

Yesterday, she suddenly had the urge to try making some pickled cabbage according to the method in the TV series. She carefully scrubbed the big stone several times, washed it clean, and was ready to put it in the pickling jar to press the cabbage.

Now I have to re-swipe it.

Seeing that the three little ones had almost finished showing off their power, Annan shouted at them to stop.

Then he said to Ma Qiangzhuang and his wife, "I'm sorry, my three pets are quite shy and a little stressed. Please don't mind."

Then he invited them to come in and sit down.

The corners of Xu Xi's mouth twitched.

Is this called being shy? ? They are the ones who are stressed out!

But he didn't dare to say anything more and just walked to the sofa and sat down obediently.
