Chapter 272: Patricide
Chu Xueyi sighed, patted Xu Sichen on the shoulder, and said helplessly: "Don't take it too seriously. Although you are Guoqiang's daughter, you are also the head of a base. Naturally, you have to prioritize the interests of the base."
It was not known whether Cheng Fang was acting or was really overcome with grief while acting. She leaned on Qiu Ziping, her eyes red from crying and her voice hoarse.
"Can the base commander disregard ethics and family ties and put his own biological father to death? Woohoo, Xu Sichen, I know that ever since your mother passed away, you have hated me, Anran, and us for taking your home away from you, and even your father. But no matter who was right or wrong between Guoqiang and your mother, he didn't do you any wrong. He gave you the best material conditions and the best education. But you, for the sake of the power in your hands, directly ignored your father's death. Don't you feel any guilt?"
As if she had sensed the Chu family's attitude towards the matter, Cheng Fang stopped pretending and directly broke off relations with Xu Sichen, making her bear the crime of patricide.
What happened to the base commander?
She just didn't believe that with the reputation of being a patricide, she could continue to be the base leader safely.
As for the fact that so much time has passed and Xu Sichen can still continue to work as the base commander, she must have used some means to conceal the truth.
Otherwise, no one would obey a woman who is so cruel that she could kill her father.
As she expected, after she delivered such a speech, those who were still confused couldn't help but gasp.
After a moment of silence, there was an explosion of whispers.
"Killing your own father for your own power? Wouldn't that be considered patricide in ancient times?"
"She looked so delicate and weak, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious."
"If he doesn't even care about his own father's life or death, how can he care about the lives of those people in the base? Tsk tsk, I really feel sorry for the people in the Dawn Base."
If their looks were somewhat obscure before, now they were filled with naked disgust and hatred.
Filial piety has always been a priority in China since ancient times. Whenever there is news about someone being disrespectful to their parents and elders, most people will always stand on the side of the parents and elders, no matter what the so-called parents have done to their children.
"Mom, please stop talking." Xu Anran's eyes were red as she pretended to dissuade him. "There are so many people here, and there are people from the Morning Light Base as well. If they find out, how will my sister face them in the future?"
Wang Anjun & Xu Hongmei: …
Well, if someone cues them, shouldn’t they say something?
"Please don't!" Xu Sichen couldn't help but speak before they did. "I'm listening intently, how can I not continue? Aunt Cheng Fang, where were you just now? Oh, right, you said that I didn't care about my father's life or death for the sake of the base. So, tell me, how did I disregard his life or death?"
After saying that, he stood up obediently, looking as if he was listening attentively.
Cheng Fang was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes and fainted.
"You, you! Xu Sichen, don't you really feel any guilt or sadness about your father's death? Don't say it has nothing to do with you. The conditions at the Haichuan base were difficult, and they asked you for help but to no avail, so they had to use your father as a threat in exchange for some emergency supplies for the base. But without saying a word, you directly ordered the massacre of everyone who came to negotiate, including your father."
