Death is not a pity
Chen Huimin's eyes were red as she glared at Cui Yawen with hatred. Ever since Chen Guanghai was dismissed and defected, she had gone from being the high and mighty Miss Chen to now having trouble getting food.
"What means did you use to get my father back?" After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Wen Yan: "Your father's death is not a pity."
Chen Huimin looked at him in disbelief: "What did you say, Wen Yan? Speak again!"
Chen Mo, who was standing nearby, looked at Chen Huimin's shocked expression and said, "Minister Wen, you grew up with Miss Chen. How could you speak to her like that?"
"Then how should I talk to her? Doesn't she know what her father did?" Wen Yan was obviously impatient.
Only after Chen Mo spoke did Jiang Lin look at the man carefully. Wasn't this the fat man who had harassed her when she wanted to enter the base before?
It's no wonder Jiang Lin didn't recognize him. Chen Mo had really lost a lot of weight. When he was the director of the patrol center, he ate himself fat and strong in the end times, which left a deep impression on people.
But those eyes were still as cloudy as before, looking at her with lustful eyes.
Jiang Lin frowned, and the ice spike hit Chen Mo's eyes directly, stopping in front of his eyeballs. Chen Mo was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.
"If you keep looking at me like that, I'll dig your eyes out."
Chen Huimin stood in front of Chen Mo and said, "He is my man. Why do you hit him?" Chen Huimin didn't feel sorry for his men, but just felt that Jiang Lin had humiliated him.
Jiang Lin looked impatiently at the person in front of her who looked about the same age as her. Even though her life was not easy now, she was still as arrogant and domineering as always, which was annoying.
"Do you really think he is willing to be your subordinate? I think he treats you as his gun." After Chen Guanghai's downfall, his former subordinates all had a hard time. Who knows if this Chen Mo wants to take advantage of Chen Huimin to attack the base to gain some benefits.
"You, you think everything you see is dirty." Chen Huimin retorted with her neck stiff. However, Chen Mo behind her lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"The dirtiest person should be the 'subordinate' you are protecting now." When Chen Mo was still in office, he had brought disaster to countless girls who wanted to enter the First Base.
Thinking of his disgusting expression and the hand that had tried to touch her arm, Jiang Lin felt like vomiting.
But she is not a person who likes to sulk. If she is unhappy, she will retaliate on the spot, not to mention that Chen Mo came to her door today.
Jiang Lin took a few steps forward, walked around Chen Huimin, and stepped directly on Chen Mo's hand: "Don't you like touching girls? Let me help you cripple these hands."
Chen Huimin was angered by Jiang Lin's attitude of not taking her seriously at all, and she went forward and pulled her arm frantically, trying to pull her down.
But the difference in strength between the two was too great. Jiang Lin just swung her hand and Chen Huimin was thrown to the ground.
Chen Huimin sat on the ground, clenching his fists. "If one day you fall into my hands, I will make you live a life worse than death."
Jiang Lin covered his ears: "I can't hear you, go on."
Chen Huimin's face flushed with anger at his scoundrel appearance. Wen Yan stood aside, his expression unreadable. He looked at Chen Mo as if he were looking at a dead person.
"Chen Huimin, stop making trouble. You won't starve to death staying in the base, but if you want to live like you did before, I tell you it's impossible." Gu Yuzhi really couldn't stand her noise.
"Aunt Gu, why are you like this? Why?" Chen Huimin was devastated.
Seeing that she was not listening to any words, Gu Yuzhi no longer wanted to coax her: "What your father did could lead to the destruction of our entire base, or even the entire planet."
"The fact that you are still standing here and having food to eat is already a kindness from us. Stop dreaming about being a young lady and just stay put." Gu Yuzhi's words were merciless and hit Chen Huimin hard.
What Chen Guanghai did was not exposed in the base. They did not want to cause unnecessary panic before the situation was under control, so Chen Mo did not know what Chen Guanghai had done.
He thought it was just a simple power transition, but he didn't expect Chen Guanghai's actions to be so serious. His face immediately turned pale: "Professor Gu, Minister Cui, Director Jiang-Jiang, I really didn't know. If I knew that old thief had done such a thing, I definitely wouldn't have accompanied her in her nonsense."
There were too many blows, not to mention Chen Mo's betrayal. Chen Huimin's face turned pale, and she was completely finished.
"If you have nothing to do, please leave." Cui Yawen was annoyed by the noise and didn't really want to care about this matter at this time.
After saying that, Chen Mo ran away immediately. Chen Huimin was stunned for a moment, then left silently.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Wen Yan spoke, and Cui Yawen waved her hand and let him go.
Only Jiang Lin, Gu Yuzhi and Cui Yawen were left there.
"Xiaolin, do you mind if Tang Xiaoyan and I stay in your research institute recently?" Ashin can only survive in the research institute, so she and Tang Xiaoyan must stay in the Planting Research Institute if they want to conduct research.
"It's okay." Jiang Lin was also a little tired. After seeing Chen Mo, those bad memories came to her mind, making her want to take a nap.
Jiang Lin took a leave and returned to her own yard. She was no longer the orphan who was at the mercy of others. She was now capable of protecting herself. No one, whether it was Chen Mo or anyone else, could hurt her at will.
Wen Yan followed Chen Mo out of the Planting Research Institute. After Chen Mo lost his job, the area where he lived became much more remote.
After turning into a small path with almost no one around, Wen Yan took action and knocked Chen Mo unconscious with a single slash of his hand before Chen Mo could even make a sound.
Wen Yan put Chen Mo into a sack with a cold expression and carried him all the way back to his home.
"Bang." The pain of being thrown on the hard floor woke Chen Mo up. There was a dazzling light in front of his eyes. It took him a long time to adapt before he could see the surrounding scene normally.
It looked like a basement, with no windows and only a humming ventilation system.
Chen Mo looked at Wen Yan in horror: "Minister Wen, I don't think I have offended you. If I have done anything wrong, I apologize and you can let me go, okay?"
Wen Yan squatted down: "What did you do to Jiang Lin?"
"I, I don't know Jiang Lin. I just saw her today." Chen Mo trembled with fear.
Then think about it carefully, a ball of fire appeared in Wen Yan's palm and directly burned his skin.
"It hurts, it hurts, I really can't remember. Minister Wen, please let me go." Chen Mo screamed in pain, but unfortunately no one was destined to hear him.
"Oh, then tell me what you did when you were on duty." Wen Yan saw that he didn't look fake, but from what Jiang Lin said today, she seemed to know Chen Mo and particularly disliked him.
"I'm just interviewing those who want to come to the base. What can I do?" Chen Mo laughed.
The sound of fire burning flesh was heard, and Chen Mo was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
"I'm telling you, I always ask the girls who come for interviews to spend a night with me before I allow them to enter the base." Chen Mo cried bitterly and said, "I really don't know if Jiang Lin is among them. Even if I had eight guts, I wouldn't dare to say this to her."
Chen Mo looked up at Wen Yan. The lights in the basement were dim, making him look like a demon from hell.
"I really didn't touch her, otherwise a girl with special abilities like her would have entered the base long ago. I really didn't touch her, Minister Wen."
He pinched Chen Mo's neck: "How dare you." Although he knew that there must be many termites in the First Base, which was so large, Wen Yan did not expect the truth to be so disgusting.
Chen Mo's eyes bulged out and his entire face turned purple due to lack of oxygen.
Wen Yan suddenly let go, and Chen Mo lay on the ground in embarrassment, gasping for breath: "I won't dare to do it again. Let me go. You've hit me, you've pinched me, and I've lost my job. Let me go."
"I'll let you go?" Wen Yan found it a little funny: "Why do you always think so beautifully?"
Chen Mo was really scared now, and he swallowed fearfully.
A piercing pain came from his hand. Wen Yan was burning his arm. "This is where I practice my supernatural powers. Do you mind being my sparring partner?"
The firelight made Wen Yan's face flicker. Chen Mo fainted from the pain at some point. Wen Yan took a look at his charred right arm.
He was fed nutrient solution with an expressionless face, and was left alone in the dark basement.
He still remembered when he finally found Jiang Lin's home. It was a dilapidated neighborhood with zombies everywhere. He found it hard to imagine what she had been through in the past three years of the apocalypse.
How did she feel when she wanted to enter the First Base and was threatened by Chen Mo?
Wen Yan deeply regretted not finding her earlier.
It started raining again outside. Jiang Lin woke up after a long afternoon nap. The sky outside was already dark. She rubbed her stomach, which was aching. She had been eating regularly at the First Base and hadn't had a stomachache for a long time.
She held her stomach and sat up from the bed, ready to go buy something to eat.
"Ah, I'm so scared. What are you doing standing here?" As soon as Jiang Lin went out, she saw Wen Yan standing at her door in the rain and was frightened.
"Brother, you are standing here quietly at night. If you want to come in, just ring the doorbell." Jiang Lin touched his chest. He was so scary.
Wen Yan didn't say a word and held her in his arms: "I'm sorry, Jiang Lin."
Jiang Lin touched his forehead: "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense? Okay, okay, my stomach hurts, I need to go buy some food."
Wen Yan let go of her and said with a look of disapproval: "Let's go to my house. I have delicious food there, really!" Wen Yan almost raised his hand to swear.
Jiang Lin was defeated by his gaze and nodded helplessly.
Wen Yan really didn't lie. His family really ate a lot. Jiang Lin drank hot water and finished the stomach medicine he handed over, then saw Wen Yan, wearing an apron, bring out a bowl of egg noodles and a big red apple from the kitchen.
"Oh my god, where did you get this good stuff?" There was food in the First Base, but it was all porridge. There was never any pasta or rice.
And it smelled really good. Jiang Lin didn't bother to be polite with him. He ate it in big mouthfuls while fanning his burned mouth.
"Eat slowly." Wen Yan was afraid that she would burn her throat, so he had to move the noodles away.
Jiang Lin snatched the noodles back with resentment: "I know, you said you would treat me, don't regret it." She looked like she was afraid that Wen Yan would snatch her food away.
"Please, eat slowly."
His tongue was a little numb from the heat, and Jiang Lin nodded embarrassedly.
After a satisfying meal and a good drink, Jiang Lin sat on the sofa at Wen Yan's house, chewing on the big apple he handed over. "Your life is truly as blissful as a god."
"It's almost time. Professor Cui and her team will probably harvest their first batch of soil-grown wheat and rice. I'm testing for poisons."
"Oh, I really hope that day will come soon." Jiang Lin said longingly after taking a bite of the apple.
