"Shao Lin, if you don't want to go, your mother and I will go."
Looking at his son's expression, Cheng Feiyue made a suggestion.
Cheng Shaolin glanced at his parents and shook his head.
"Go ahead, didn't you hear what the person said, that we all have to go?"
"I really don't understand what they're trying to do." Cheng Feiyue slapped his leg, feeling very annoyed.
“They want you to go, so they must want something from you. They won’t give up if you don’t go.” Yu Yanbin stroked his chin, looked at the situation for a while, and pointed out the crux of the problem.
"Yes, you didn't agree last time, so they've come back to you again. If they haven't achieved their goal yet, they'll come again."
Meng Yang's implication was clear: if they didn't go this time, there would be another time.
Everyone looked at each other, feeling rather helpless.
"In that case, let's go. You're not going to insist on going no matter what? I'll go too."
Cheng Shaolin suddenly looked at Li Xiao.
"Xiaoxiao, you don't need to go."
Li Xiao smiled and said, "I won't go. They'll come looking for me again next time. I don't like being bothered by people repeatedly. I'll just let it go this time."
She then looked around at everyone and said, "I want to see what they're really up to. If they're doing it openly, that's fine, but I'm afraid they'll do something underhanded instead."
After she said that, everyone started to feel uneasy.
If that's the case, it will actually make things more difficult.
“Hmm, that’s possible.” Yu Yanbin glanced at Li Xiao and said with a smirk, “With such a huge temptation right in front of us, it’s unlikely we wouldn’t want to snatch it up. Like Xiao Xiao said, we’re not afraid of anything if it’s done openly. But what if it’s done in a sneaky way? That’s hard to say.”
"So you mean Xiaoxiao is going too?" Cheng Shaolin looked at Yu Yanbin and said leisurely.
"It's your decision." Yu Yanbin looked at Cheng Shaolin with a slight smile.
Cheng Shaolin glanced at him but ignored him.
"Xiaoxiao, are you sure you want to go?" Cheng Shaolin didn't actually want Li Xiao to go; he didn't want her to face those awful people.
"Yes, I'd like to go with you this time. Their purpose is obvious, and it's best to make it clear at once. Otherwise, they might cause trouble later, so don't blame us."
Cheng Shaolin thought about it for a moment and then agreed.
He knew a little about Cheng Shaoheng.
It's not impossible for someone with a narrow mind to resort to underhanded tactics.
The saying "It's easy to block a sword in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark" is not without reason.
Seeing that they had made this decision, Cheng Feiyue and He Yunzhen did not object.
Cheng Feiyue had seen it all, and he knew his nephew's character all too well.
Like Li Xiao said, it's best to talk things out face-to-face. Otherwise, people might think you're being difficult.
“Then let’s go together.” With that, Cheng Feiyue stood up.
"Yes, Uncle Cheng, you should go and take a look, so we can have a plan."
Cheng Feiyue nodded, feeling a pang of guilt.
Even though it's not their own team, their performance was still quite smooth.
There's no need for so much nonsense.
Why--
This is really frustrating.
Yu Yanbin and the others didn't think anything of it; they had seen everything they could since the apocalypse.
There's nothing wrong with that; it's just that when you see something good, you want to possess it.
There's nothing particularly unacceptable about it.
If there are too many, it's not surprising.
Thankfully, they didn't start off with anything too harsh.
It's still a roundabout and tactful approach, which is quite considerate.
Cheng Shaolin, along with Li Xiao and his parents, sat down once again in the Cheng family villa.
It's the same people, nothing has changed.
"Speak, what is it this time?"
Cheng Shaolin didn't want to waste time and got straight to the point.
Cheng Shaoheng was caught off guard by Cheng Shaolin's directness and was somewhat taken aback.
He quickly smiled and said, "What are you talking about? This is my own home, why are you being so formal?"
He looked at Li Xiao, sized her up, and said with a smile, "This is your girlfriend. I didn't bring her back last time. Let her chat with your sister-in-law more this time; they're all family."
Cheng Shaolin curled his lips into a small, sneer.
It's so obvious, who do you think you're fooling?
Cheng Shaoheng then turned to look at Li Xiao and said with a smile, "Your name is Xiao Xiao, right? Then we'll call you Xiao Xiao."
"Whatever." Li Xiao didn't care; a name is meant to be called.
"Alright, we're all family. You should come back and chat with your sister-in-law more often when you have time. She doesn't have anyone to talk to at home."
Yu Danxia then picked up where her husband left off, smiling as she continued, "Oh, that's right. Besides Mom, it's just me at home, and there's no young person I talk to. Xiaoxiao, if you have time, come and talk to me. I'm just bored sitting here."
Li Xiao smiled, looked at the couple opposite her, and said, "I have to go out to do a mission, I don't have time to chat."
…………
No one responded to that.
Cheng Shaoheng and Yu Danxia's faces darkened.
Cheng Feiyue and He Yunzhen sat to the side, their expressions seemingly unchanged, but they were secretly laughing their heads off.
Exactly, nobody's as free as you guys; everyone's busy, okay?
Cheng Shaolin lowered his head and chuckled, holding Li Xiao's hand to suppress his laughter.
No one expected Li Xiao to be so disrespectful, and they were all stunned on the spot.
When they finally realized what had happened, the whole family was burning with anxiety.
"Cheng Shaolin!"
Cheng Shaolin composed himself and looked up at Cheng Shaoheng.
"What's wrong? We don't have much time. If you hadn't called someone to bring me back, we would already be out on a mission."
"You're kidding me. You just got back yesterday, and you're already going on a mission today? Do you think I'm stupid?!"
“I’m not lying. You can ask my dad if you don’t believe me. He’s on the mission with us.”
Cheng Feiyue nodded in agreement, “Yes, everyone is busy completing tasks these days, we can’t let others snatch all the good stuff.”
"Yes, the earlier we go, the more we can find."
“Mm,” Cheng Feiyue echoed his wife.
Seeing that their family all said so, it was really hard to say what would happen to Cheng Shaoheng's family.
"Everyone's rushing to grab high-point supplies now, why aren't you guys going? Why are you all staying at home?"
Li Xiao didn't care what they said; she could say whatever she wanted.
Yu Danxia was hit with another arrow by Li Xiao, making her even angrier.
"Hmm, brother, everyone's scrambling to gain the upper hand right now, why haven't you guys made a move?"
Li Xiao had already stabbed him once, and Cheng Shaolin didn't hold back, finishing him off with a follow-up stab.
"How do you know there isn't?" Cheng Shaoheng was a little angry. He could tell that this person had come back to cause trouble.
However, he won't give up so easily if he hasn't achieved his goal.
"You know everyone's scrambling to grab supplies right now. You can bring your team back with you. They're all on our side, and together we're stronger, which will give us an advantage over others."
That's true, but he had already revealed the truth to Cheng Shaolin before, and now it's impossible to make amends.
Because Cheng Shaoheng doesn't understand that not everyone likes being controlled by others.
Their motives are still impure.
