Chapter 585: Bewitched Zheng Miao
Zhao Qiang waved his hand and said, "Yueban Bay is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the island is surrounded by crystal core cannons. Once something is inside, it will be impossible to get it out."
"I just hope that the forces in Kyoto can unite better. With the marriage in the front, it will be more stable." Zhao Qiang observed Zheng Yi's expression and slowly said the words to solve his current problem, "You can also successfully resolve the issue of fighting against the loss of the alliance."
Zheng Yi stared at him for a long time and finally said, "Let me think about it."
"Waiting for your good news." Zhao Qiang stood up slowly like an old gentleman, tidied every corner of his clothes, and left again through the earth wall passage.
Zheng Yi closed his eyes for a long while, but he couldn't help shouting outside, "Are all the people outside dead? The opponent easily entered my office, and you didn't react at all..."
**
The meeting between Zhao Qiang and Zheng Yi was silent and no one knew what they talked about. However, Zheng Miao did not hide his actions at all and ran towards the guard team openly every few days. It's called chasing people.
Many people in the Zheng family have polarized views on this. Some support the idea that the marriage between the Zheng and Zhao families can make up for the current decline of the Zheng family, while others oppose the idea that giving away a healing system is not cost-effective.
There are people complaining in front of Zheng Yi every day, which gives him a headache. The Zheng family does not lack a therapist, but Zheng Miao is the only child left by his aunt. Zheng Yi hopes that he can still be rescued.
After his implicit persuasion to Zheng Miao failed, Zheng Yi weighed the options and turned his attention to the captains of other teams in the base. The most outstanding among them is Lu Xiao.
Compared with Zhao Qiang's short stature, Lu Xiao is polar opposite to him in terms of both image and character.
"She's just too old, not very suitable," Zheng Yi commented.
"But his appearance is much better than Zhao Qiang's. If you want to find someone, find someone good-looking. Zhao Qiang has an untidy beard and has no appetite. Also, find a team with few healing psychics. You can be respected for your psychic abilities if you go there."
"Zhao Qiang is not bad either. Lu Xiao has a son, but Zhao Qiang has nothing." All of Zheng Miao's rebellious nature now appears to oppose Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi wanted to just give up, but he took a deep breath and endured it, "Yes, Lu Xiao is indeed not suitable, but..."
"Did you know that the Guard Center Villa caught fire some time ago?"
“Everyone knows this.” Zheng Miao almost put the three rebellious people on his forehead.
"There have been rumors outside that no one was injured. I asked someone to investigate and found that two people died in there. One was Zhao Qiang's wife Liang Le, and the other was his son Zhao Hua."
Zheng Miao obviously didn't know about this. Just as he was about to say that Zheng Yi was talking nonsense, Zheng Yi threw a picture at him.
On it were screenshots of the public security system’s marriage query and household registration form.
"His son inherited his height, and he felt ashamed. He never told anyone else about it, and always pretended to be unmarried," Zheng Yi said bluntly, "It's not the first day you've been to the guards. Before, there was no news at all, but after the fire, the news about you pursuing Zhao Qiang spread everywhere. Don't you find it strange?"
"How could the timing be so coincidental?"
Although Zheng Miao was well protected, he came from a large family after all and had his own understanding of some private matters.
After hearing what Zheng Yi said, he immediately asked, "Do you think the fire was intentional?"
"I don't know, but it's just a coincidence," Zheng Yi said, "either he deliberately let these two people die in public and secretly raised them somewhere else, or..."
"You think he killed them?" Zheng Miao was shocked.
Zheng Yi, however, looked calm and said, "The benefits I can get from marrying you are worth any risk."
"Moreover, the research institute said that he sent a lot of sperm there for breeding and screening of healthy children."
He looked at Zheng Miao's tender face and asked softly, "You are a man who can even hit his own son and his wife who has been with him for more than ten years. What do you think you are worthy of being treated kindly?"
Zheng Miao didn't say anything, his face was pale.
"At worst, there is Sun Wei from the Wolf Team, who has a clean private life and doesn't even have a lover; Ma Jin from the Elite Team; Gao Hua from the Brilliant Team; Xie Ziping from the Soaring Team, all of them have powerful superpowers and good character, and you are all about the same age..."
Seeing that Zheng Miao was still holding her head high, as if everyone owed her something, and thinking of the recording that Zhao Qiang had brought, Zheng Yi's passion gradually faded.
"Zheng Miao, I know you blame grandpa and me in your heart, but you can't deny that it was your parents who disobeyed the arrangements." This was the first time they mentioned the two dead people. Zheng Miao's eyes turned red instantly. She opened her eyes wide and glared at Zheng Yi.
Zheng Yi raised his hand to stop her from speaking, "They may not be good people, but they are very good parents."
He stretched out his hand to tuck the hair hanging down from the ear of the person who was closest to him in blood in this generation of the Zheng family behind his ear, and Zheng Miao slapped him hard on the arm with a loud slapping sound.
Zheng Yi looked at the red mark on his arm and didn't say anything for a long time. Amid Zheng Miao's sobs, he continued, "The adult world is cruel. It's not easy to measure right and wrong. Grandpa and I don't want to hurt you, but we will consider the interests of more people and make choices."
"You just think that saving my parents would be too great a sacrifice--" Zheng Miao said hysterically.
"——Yes," Zheng Yi admitted bluntly, which made Zheng Miao unable to continue to rebuke him, "The sacrifice is indeed too great, it's not worth it."
As soon as these three words came out, Zheng Miao immediately became angry and wanted to attack Zheng Yi again, but was slapped hard in the face by Zheng Yi instead.
Zheng Yi served in the army and has always been a good brother. He has been good at hitting his younger brothers since they were young, but he has never hit a girl. This was the first time that Zheng Miao was beaten by him, and he was a little stunned for a moment.
"Everything you eat, use and enjoy now was brought by the Zheng family, but what did you pay for it? Nothing. Every person who died in the Zheng family was a cornerstone of the Zheng family, and what you enjoy sitting on the high platform was earned by them with their lives." Zheng Yi had a stern expression, looking down at the person sitting on the ground.
"This is the last time I will discipline you for their sake. I have told you all the pros and cons. Even if the candidate is not Lu Xiao but anyone else, the Zheng family will protect you from being bullied. But not Zhao Qiang. If you insist on choosing him, I will still marry you off in a decent manner, but after you get married, don't have anything to do with the Zheng family anymore."
Zheng Yi put down the information he had collected and left with a cold face. Behind him, he heard Zheng Miao bursting into tears. He did not stop until he saw the bodyguard guarding the door and said, "If you only dare to like her secretly, then watch her be blinded by hatred and go to a dead end."
The wrinkles on the bodyguard's brow deepened. He looked past Zheng Yi at the person inside, pursed his lips and said nothing.
**
Zheng Yi didn't have to wait long, and the next morning Zheng Miao came to his door with a long document.
Zheng Yi's relief froze when he opened the door and saw the person.
The person above was Lu Xiao, whom he had just praised yesterday.
"He is too old and has a son..."
"Although he is a little older, you can't tell from his appearance. He is handsome and well-built. Besides, aren't handsome uncles popular now? He is so much older than me, he will definitely be able to tolerate me and take good care of me," Zheng Miao retorted.
"he……"
"He has been in the army for more than 20 years. There is definitely no problem with his character. His private life is clean. Only Lu Xi's mother is involved. There has been no scandal at all so far."
"you……"
"Besides... Lieyan is the only one with healing abilities, and my abilities will be respected in the future." Zheng Miao returned all the words of persuasion he had given him yesterday, and finally said, "The most important thing is that if I marry Lu Xiao, Lu Xi will have to call me mom in the future. It makes me feel good just thinking about it."
Zheng Yi was somewhat speechless. He held a thin piece of paper in his hand and spoke with difficulty, "Lu Xiao... maybe... he likes men?"
"Look at how many of them are married? Most of them are single. Look at his nephew and his nephew's base. They are all..."
Zheng Miao looked at Zheng Yi in silence. Zheng Yi was not the kind of person who could make up stories about other people's behavior, so he couldn't continue speaking.
"I'm not sure if Lu Xiao can do it. The benefits that the Zheng family brings to Lieyan are not enough for him to marry you reluctantly," Zheng Yi said seriously.
"Except for Zhao Qiang, I have my eyes on him. If you can't let me marry him, then I will marry Zhao Qiang." Zheng Miao shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.
Zheng Yi's initial excitement turned cold at this, "You're betting your marriage with me?"
Zheng Miao's eyes were still swollen, and he met his gaze without avoiding it, with determination and a hint of hatred in them.
Zheng Yi knew that this sister was completely useless.
But he still wanted to fight for her one last time, so he raised his hand and called his men to secretly make an appointment for Lu Xiao to meet.
**
The team at Yueban Bay has already begun preparing to leave, and Lu Xiao still has a chance to upgrade.
Lu Xi spent the whole day tinkering with his own research and running to the Flame Team, which allowed him to overhear the visitor making an appointment with Lu Xiao behind someone's back.
After being surprised, Lu Xiao actually agreed. You know, he has stopped caring about almost everything in the past few days and focused on upgrading.
Lu Xi was originally worried that Lu Xiao would not be able to upgrade before the large group left. When he came here, he even pleaded with Li Zhuang, hoping that they would take Lu Xiao out to hunt high-level zombies to see if they could make an impact.
Who knew he would go out without telling anyone?
Lu Xi felt as if his kindness was being ignored, especially when he saw that Lu Xiao didn't bring anyone with him except an earth-type mutant. He changed into clothes he didn't usually wear, and after twists and turns, he left through the underground passage opened up by the earth-type mutant.
This made Lu Xi's dissatisfaction even stronger. He extended a trace of mental power to follow Lu Xiao, and finally saw him enter an inconspicuous teahouse.
Lu Xiao had never expected to be invited here. Before entering, he carefully checked to make sure there were no psychics ambushing nearby, then he raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Come in" Zheng Yi's voice came from inside.
