Chapter 320: Taking Advantage of Your Seniority
"Sister, what are you looking at me for?" Xue Minghui was frightened by her eyes.
Xue Mingxuan's eyes were like needles, pricking her skin when she looked at her. She knew her sister was powerful, but even when she was angry, she had never looked at her so indifferently.
Xue Mingxuan: "You said before that you wanted to be the king of the base and control the entire base. Did you know that Ruan Rongxi and Dong Weiqing were working together?"
Xue Minghui felt a little guilty. Seeing her like this, she was sure that the smart Xue Mingxuan knew everything.
She said in anger: "Xue Minghui, are you guys brainless? If you are not careful, you will end up in an irreparable situation. These are all caused by human lives."
Xue Minghui listened to her words and always felt that she was belittling herself. Anger surged in her heart: "Yes, I know what happened. What did I do wrong? I am just a pariah from the outer city. If I die, I die. It can also save food for the base..."
"Pa!" Xue Mingxuan slapped him twice.
"Pa, pa, pa!" Then there were three more crisp slaps. Xue Minghui's fair and tender face quickly became red and swollen because of these four slaps.
Xue Minghui covered her face and said, "Xue Mingxuan, you hit me. Why did you hit me?"
"Pah!" Xue Mingxuan slapped him again. She looked at Xue Minghui as if she were a dead person. "If you were not my sister, I would take care of you. I would have sent you to the base prison a long time ago and let you live a peaceful life there."
Xue Minghui didn't dare to speak, for fear that she would be slapped again if she said anything.
"Old Huo!" Xue Mingxuan shouted. Butler Huo had been standing far away and only came over when he heard Xue Mingxuan calling him.
"Lock up Xue Mingxuan. No one can open the door without my order. I will deal with her after this storm is over." Xue Mingxuan was almost angry to death early in the morning.
Butler Huo and two bodyguards dragged Xue Minghui into the room, and the two bodyguards stood at the door.
Xue Mingxuan took a long time to calm down. She looked at Yue Han and said, "Go back and take good care of him. If Ruan Qiyu is not implicated, he will be back soon. If he cannot come back, I will transfer all the Ruan family's property to you so that you and the child will not have any burden."
Yue Han was overjoyed, but tears were streaming down her face because she was pregnant and was sent back by Butler Huo himself.
Xue Mingxuan rubbed her brows on the sofa, went back to her room, and called Huo Yan again.
Xue Mingxuan: "Huo Yan, what happened? Why did you bring up Dong Weiqing again?"
"Dong Weiqing is dead. It was a cat-and-mouse substitution. The person who was executed was not Dong Weiqing. The real Dong Weiqing died yesterday. There is also a list of people who had dealings with him. The Ruan family is on it. You should try to persuade your aunt."
Xue Mingxuan hung up the phone. Now she gets angry whenever she thinks of Xue Mingxuan's barbecued pork.
Relying on their relationship with the Huo family, the Ruan family became more and more daring. Xue Mingxuan directly asked someone to check the wind direction outside. They looked at the documents outside in the afternoon and burned the documents to ashes after reading them. So many people were implicated.
There are several acquaintances among them. If it is true, those people’s wives will ask to come to his place soon.
"Old Huo, if anyone wants to see me today, no matter who it is, refuse to see them and just say that I'm sick from being angry."
Butler Huo quickly said yes.
Xue Mingxuan turned her eyes and called Zhu Qin to inform her. It seemed that the Shen family was not safe either. Zhu Qin quickly asked someone to close the door tightly and also refused to see anyone.
Those who wanted to seek help, whether they went to the Huo family or the Shen family, were all turned away. However, they found that no matter who they approached in the base, as long as they were well-informed, they would not be there.
Those who are not well-informed will refuse as soon as they hear the three words "Dong Weiqing".
The base announced this matter, but some processing was done when the list was released. For example, Ruan Rongxi became Ruan Mouxi. This kind of processing is useless for people who are familiar with it.
The stalemate and chaos lasted for several days, and everyone working in the base was trembling with fear, fearing that they would be implicated if they were not careful.
A week later, the temperature rose from more than 20 degrees below zero to the current minus 3 degrees. Li Yao and the other two put on down jackets and no longer needed to wear heavy clothes when going out. Yan Yuansi and Ning Xinyue were still a little uncomfortable with it.
They left a fireplace upstairs and downstairs. Li Yao asked Yan Yuansi and Ning Xinyue to train more frequently and for longer periods of time.
If they encounter a horde of zombies in the apocalypse, they will have to get used to fighting for a long time.
So their training time was extended by another four hours, and Li Yao went back to her old job and cooked for them for a few days.
Huo Yan finally finished his work, and on the day he returned home, he was followed by two people, one was Ruan Qiyu who was locked up in the hospital, and the other was Ding Qinghua who was sent to him by Old Deng.
Xue Mingxuan released Xue Minghui, who had been detained for seven or eight days. Seeing that her son was a little depressed but intact, Xue Minghui finally felt relieved.
"Are you hurt?" She looked Ruan Qiyu up and down.
Ruan Qiyu shook his head: "Mom, I'm fine."
"Where is your father? Why didn't your father come back?" Xue Minghui asked before Ruan Qiyu could speak.
She began to question Huo Yan: "Huo Yan, why can Qi Yu come back but his father can't? Aren't you the person in charge of District 3? You can release people with just one word. Why don't you do such a simple thing for you?"
Huo Yan looked nonchalantly at Xue Minghui who was acting arrogantly in his home. His aunt was not only arrogant and domineering, but also had no brains at all.
Huo Yan patted his mother's hand, signaling her not to be angry: "Why should I do it? It is an ironclad fact that he was arrested. Not only will we not talk about it, but our Huo family will also stay away from him. People like him will be ruined by the slightest touch of reputation."
Xue Minghui was so angry that Huo Yan dared to talk to her like this.
Her voice became sharp: "Huo Yan, I am your aunt. This is the attitude you have when talking to me. Where is your upbringing?"
Huo Yan sneered: "Don't take advantage of your age in front of me. You can be my aunt, or you can not be my aunt. It depends on whether I recognize you as my aunt. Besides, what kind of upbringing is it in the end times?"
"Also, Xue Minghui, you know about the cooperation between Ruan Rongxi and Dong Weiqing. Logically speaking, you should also be imprisoned and sentenced. If I hadn't been involved, do you think you could stand on the Huo family's territory and yell?"
"If you don't want to stay here, I will send you to Ruan Rongxi and let you be a loving couple in prison."
Huo Yan's series of words were both deceptive and threatening. Xue Mingxuan's lips only trembled. She would faint if she was provoked a little more.
"Old Huo, take her back to her room." Xue Mingxuan said.
After everyone left, Xue Mingxuan said calmly, "Qi Yu, you've been so scared these past few days. Go back and have a good rest. Yue Han is still waiting for you at home."
