Mao Min looked at Li Weidong impatiently: "Just say what your purpose is. Aren't you disgusted by all this pretense of being affectionate?"
A look of hurt crossed Li Weidong's face. He looked at Mao Min and said in a low voice, "Min'er, Liangliang should have told you that the person outside all those years wasn't me. If it were me, I wouldn't be so cold to you and Liangliang. You know I'd be willing to give my life for you!"
Mao Min's face instantly darkened!
"The time you gave your life refers to that encounter with the mutated wolf pack, when I was surrounded by Mao Yun and more than 30 others, and you still stood in front of me shouting, 'Come at me, don't hurt me!'"
The wolf pack couldn't get close to Mao Min at all!
But Mao Min was genuinely moved at that time. Young girls are always more emotional than rational. Even though she knew the danger was low, Li Weidong stood in front of her without the slightest hesitation. Young Mao Min still felt that his subconscious reaction couldn't lie.
There are many similar stories. Young, flamboyant, and successful Mao Min felt that Li Weidong was subconsciously thinking about her, and that he was always the first to stand in front of her when danger came.
But as time goes by and reason prevails over emotion, looking back, you'll find that the scene wasn't dangerous at all.
Mao Yun covered his head: "Yeah, I didn't think anything was wrong at the time, but now that I think about it, that kid was under our protection the whole time!"
She looked like she was about to get her brain working, which almost made Fang Qingdai burst out laughing.
Mao Min's face stiffened and she rubbed her forehead as she faced her dark past. She said to Li Weidong, "Even if we had feelings for each other back then, it's been almost twenty years. With my personality back then, I would have gone through three hundred male lovers. You can't use those things to hold me hostage."
"Xiao Mao and I can't leave with you."
Li Weidong still looked wounded: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't left for so many years, you and Liangliang wouldn't have lost your feelings for me. I shouldn't have used our past relationship to bind you. I'm the only one who's been trapped all along..."
The way he said it made it sound like Mao Min and Xiao Mao had wronged him.
Just as Mao Min was about to curse, Li Weidong changed the subject: "Since you don't want to go home, I won't drag you along. But let's part amicably. Last time you left in a hurry, and you didn't pack many things properly. Come back with me and tidy up your things properly."
Xiao Mao frowned: "No need, just throw away any leftover items."
Li Weidong gave Xiao Mao a reproachful look: "You child, how can you be so careless?"
"How could your father possibly throw away your grandfather's urn?"
Mao Min was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and looked at Li Weidong in disbelief: "What did you say? My father's urn?"
"Wasn't my father's urn lost in that upheaval?"
Mao Ling was also quite agitated. She glared at Li Weidong with bloodshot eyes: "You took my father's urn while we were in the chaos! How could you be so disgusting? Don't you have a father of your own? Why would you steal someone else's father's ashes!"
Li Weidong looked completely innocent: "How could I possibly steal my father-in-law's urn? The ashes were indeed lost in the chaos. It was because I saw Min'er was upset that I tried my best to track them down and finally found them!"
Mao Min didn't believe a single word!
The Mao family members and Mao Yun's faction all glared at Li Weidong with gritted teeth. Fang Qingdai even saw Mao Yun break the armrest of the chair.
The atmosphere was tense and sharp, but Li Weidong slowly took a sip of water, his face expressionless.
But the Xuanwu team following behind him also quietly activated their supernatural abilities and gripped their weapons tightly.
In the tense standoff between the two sides, Jing Yi suddenly unleashed his supernatural power, and the pressure of an eighth-level superpowered individual caused everyone present to change their expressions!
Li Weidong looked at Jing Yi with suspicion, trying to guess his identity and specific rank.
Li Weidong is now at level seven, and with the three other superpowers transplanted into his body, although his new superpowers are only at level five, all things considered, he is one of the top experts in the wasteland.
He never expected to encounter a Level 8 ability user, a rare find in the wasteland, within the Oasis base!
Fang Qingdai, being the only one who knew that Jing Yi had advanced, remained very calm.
She smiled at Li Weidong with that innocent look again: "What does Commander Li mean by this? It's just a friendly exchange, why are we getting so tense?"
Li Weidong composed himself and looked at Fang Qingdai again: "Chief Qing, it was your base's people who were the first to make a move, and my people only took a defensive stance to protect themselves."
Fang Qingdai looked at Mao Yun, somewhat embarrassed: "But this is a grudge between you old friends, and as the base leader, it's not appropriate for me to interfere."
In other words, Mao Yun and her group's aggressive behavior was a personal grudge, but Li Weidong's people's attempt to retaliate within the Oasis base was disrupting the peace between the two sides!
Li Weidong snorted coldly, no longer arguing with Fang Qingdai. He looked directly at Mao Min and said, "I've kept your father-in-law's urn safe. It won't get lost. You can go back and get it whenever you want!"
This is a clear indication that he's hiding something, and if Mao Min and Xiao Mao don't go back, no one can find the urn.
After saying that, he gave Fang Qingdai a meaningful look.
Fang Qingdai kept her eyes downcast and her mind focused. Although she had a private space that made it easier for her to do things that were "shady," it was still a little embarrassing to be directly pointed out by someone.
The base commander, known for his petty theft and other underhanded tactics, is truly something else!
Li Weidong led his men on a tour of the Oasis base, which was considered to have achieved his objective. He then left with his men that afternoon.
Huang Guang escorted the man to the edge of the oasis, just as his men, whom he had left outside, came forward to whisper a report.
Seeing that Li Weidong's face had darkened even more, Huang Guang felt relieved.
He asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Commander Li? Have you run into some trouble?"
If Oasis Base needs to cooperate in finding a few "missing persons," Oasis Base would be happy to cooperate!
Li Weidong's gaze fell on Huang Guang: "It's a bit of a problem. A batch of supplies in our organization was stolen by an insider and its whereabouts are still unknown. Minister Huang, can you help investigate?"
Huang Guang's smile faded slightly: "It's not convenient for me to interfere in your base's internal affairs."
Li Weidong shook his head regretfully: "What a pity. That mole was very tight-lipped. Even after four bones were pulled out, all the tendons in his hands and feet were severed, and one of his eyes was gouged out, he still refused to reveal a single word."
"With Minister Huang's cooperation, we should be able to find out the truth much faster."
With Huang Guang tense and his fingers trembling with extreme restraint, Li Weidong finally led the others away with a smile.
Suppressing his inner turmoil, Huang Guang turned and quickly returned to the base.
Fang Qingdai frowned after hearing the report: "So your teacher isn't... cough, still alive?"
Huang Guang covered his face: "I don't know, this is the first time I've heard news about my teacher in three years."
Before this, he had tried everything but had been unable to find out any whereabouts.
