"Shao Lin?"
Yu Yanbin leaned forward, looking at Cheng Shaolin, waiting for him to speak.
No matter how bad it was for Cheng Shaolin, he would still speak up.
He didn't intend to hide it from everyone; compared to his uncle's family, he valued this team more.
Throughout his journey, he has had the best relationships with these partners.
Whether it's said sooner or later, it has to be said eventually; no matter how embarrassing it is for him, it will eventually have to be laid bare.
"Yan Bin, you need to be careful."
Everyone: “…………”
After listening for a while, Yu Yanbin understood.
Then, a smirk appeared on his lips as he leaned back against the sofa.
"What, are you talking about me this time?"
"Pretty much, they want me to take command of the team."
Yu Yanbin laughed and said, "What, don't they know you already had it?"
Cheng Shaolin lifted his eyelids and glanced at him. "I said I'm the vice-captain, the captain makes the decisions, you."
Yu Yanbin smiled and took a sip of tea.
"You're angry about this?"
"no."
Yu Yanbin was puzzled.
Everyone looked at him.
"They also alluded to Xiaoxiao."
"What? What do you mean?"
Yu Yanbin was also taken aback, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
"you mean?"
Cheng Shaolin held the teacup in both hands, his eyes fixed on the ground in front of him.
"They want me to replace you, and at the same time, they want to control Xiaoxiao."
"Are you sure that's what you mean?" Yu Yanbin's voice changed, revealing a chilling coldness.
Cheng Shaolin nodded.
Shao Jie and Xiao Peng looked at each other in bewilderment.
Tian Tian gripped Qiu Fengyu's hand tightly.
Everyone was stunned by the news.
Meng Yang suddenly asked, "Shao Lin, what are your plans?"
Cheng Shaolin closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them, his gaze was resolute.
"Leave."
"Have you thought it through?" Meng Yang continued to ask.
"Yes. I'm sorry, I thought this would be a safe haven. I didn't expect things to change because of my family."
"This is not your fault, don't overthink it."
Meng Yang offered words of comfort.
"Yes, how can you think like that? It has nothing to do with you. You are you, and your family is your family."
Xiao Peng was Cheng Shaolin's biggest supporter and couldn't bear to see Cheng Shaolin so dejected.
"Brother, right? I already told you, no one will blame you."
Cheng Shaolin looked at Li Xiao, smiled, and shook his head.
"No, it's not because of those things. It's because of you."
Li Xiao was stunned.
"I?"
"Yes, they're after you, and I'm worried."
Li Xiao stared at him with wide eyes.
"Brother, you don't need to think like that, I won't..."
"No, it's easier to talk things out openly, but I'm worried they might resort to underhanded tactics. These things are hard to guard against, and I can't gamble with your safety. Do you understand?"
Li Xiao could see the worry in Cheng Shaolin's eyes and understood his feelings.
"Hmm, what do you want to do?"
Cheng Shaolin smiled and patted Li Xiao's head.
“It’s not just here that we can live; we can also go to Yingcheng.”
"Okay, then let's go to Yingcheng."
Seeing that Cheng Shaolin had already made a decision, Yu Yanbin did not object and went to discuss matters with Meng Yang.
Cheng Feiyue and He Yunzhen were talking quietly, sharing the same feelings as Cheng Shaolin.
It's understandable that you feel bad when your own family's affairs affect others.
"It's nothing, don't overthink it, it has nothing to do with you."
“Hey, Brother Meng, we brought this whole thing here. If we hadn’t come, none of this would have happened.”
"You can't say that. If it's not here, do you know it's not there? Okay, it's already happened, so let's resolve it. It's not a big deal."
"Yes, Uncle and Aunt, don't overthink it. We should focus on what's to come," Shao Jie said with a smile, trying to comfort them.
"Okay, you're all good kids." He Yunzhen wiped her eyes, her heart filled with emotion.
"Brother, look, don't overthink it. If you want to leave, then leave. We're all going to kill zombies and get crystals anyway, so it's the same wherever we go. Beijing is just a destination, and we won't be staying there for long. We'll leave eventually, you're overthinking it."
“Yeah, didn’t we agree to kill more zombies? Xiaoxiao is right, we’re not going to stay here all the time,” Tian Tian chimed in.
"Okay, fine, I don't want to think about it anymore."
Seeing that Li Xiao was unaffected, Cheng Shaolin felt a little better.
"It's just bad weather, what's there to be afraid of? I'm here." Li Xiao practically patted her chest to assure him.
This made everyone laugh.
Only Cheng Feiyue and He Yunzhen, who came later, were clueless and couldn't understand what everyone was laughing about.
"Okay, with Xiaoxiao here, there won't be any problems."
"Haha, that's right, it's fine anywhere."
They didn't seem to be affected at all; everyone was laughing and joking about where they should go next.
"Brother, it's okay." Li Xiao tilted her head and looked at Cheng Shaolin, as if she had never seen him like this before.
He's always been a strategist, calm and collected. He's nothing like this dejected person he is now.
It's rare to see him like this, and I'm very worried about him.
Being dealt a heavy blow by his own family must have been something he found hard to accept.
He had been hoping for the best, but reality dealt him a heavy blow.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I just didn't expect them to be so shameless. Saying it so matter-of-factly."
He smiled, then quickly disappeared.
