Hongfeng was already small, and when Chen Qian hugged her, she became even smaller.
Unfortunately, the warmth was shattered in just a few seconds.
Hongfeng reacted and punched and kicked him in the abdomen.
With a loud bang, Chen Qian crashed into the door, shattering it. Although he was disheveled when he fell into the corridor, he still had a nonchalant smile on his face.
Hongfeng's face turned bright red, and she gritted her teeth, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "You're asking for death!"
Chen Qian got up, his gaze intense as if he had confirmed something.
"I won't let go. Little Phoenix, you still have feelings for me."
"!!"
In a moment of impulsiveness, Hong Feng didn't even bother to think about where she was. With a flick of her wrist, more than a dozen fireballs hurtled towards Chen Qian.
The commotion attracted the attention of others in the medical station. They gasped in shock as they watched more than a dozen fireballs erupt from the wards. Each fireball was as big as a human head and was likely to blast the entire corridor to pieces.
Chen Qian's smile also faded.
Just as he was considering how to block the fireballs, two figures appeared in front of him, one fast and one slow.
Bang bang bang!
The fireball struck the erected ice shield, scattering sparks, and immediately disappeared.
Chen Zhe then pulled Chen Qian aside.
Hong Feng only came to her senses when she heard the loud noise. As she withdrew her powers, she saw the person behind the ice wall and her face turned pale. "Captain Xia!"
To avoid any further unexpected situations, Chen Zhe took the troublemaker Chen Qian and left.
After reassuring the people at the medical station, Xia Yixin simply moved Hongfeng to another ward, as the original ward door had been torn to pieces.
As soon as Xia Yixin entered the room, Hongfeng immediately said urgently, "Captain Xia, I'm sorry, I acted impulsively just now, I'm willing to be punished!"
Xia Yixin looked at the tiny little girl in front of her, still wearing a hospital gown, and couldn't bring herself to be angry. She tapped the girl on the forehead.
He deliberately put on a stern face and said, "If you want to be punished, that's fine. The base's rules state that you can't use your superpowers in the base at will. If you're going to be punished, Chen Qian won't escape either. How about thirty fire whips each tomorrow?"
A fleeting hesitation crossed Hongfeng's eyes, quickly replaced by a firm resolve to "do things alone."
"You think you should take responsibility for your own actions?" Xia Yixin interrupted her, then tapped her forehead again in exasperation. "That's why Chen Qian was able to see through your thoughts so easily."
Hongfeng covered her forehead, finally realizing that Xia Yixin was actually joking with her.
Xia Yixin didn't want to make things difficult for the stubborn girl, so she changed the subject and started talking about the investigation.
Regarding the matter of the silver needle on the wristband, and perhaps a third force lurking in the shadows.
Hongfeng had only sensed that she might have been ambushed, but she didn't expect it to be so serious. Hearing Xia Yixin tell her that she was alright and that she would leave with her people the day after tomorrow as planned, she couldn't hide her worry. "Captain Xia, after I lead my team out of the base the day after tomorrow, according to what you said, the K base will be in chaos within a week at most. As for the Dawn Base... since there are still third parties lurking in the shadows, I'm worried that they might target Dawn again."
“I know that. So, I’ll leave extra people with Chenxi, just in case. This risk is unavoidable. Besides, I have a feeling that their target isn’t Chenxi, otherwise they wouldn’t have used adrenaline.” Xia Yixin had already thought it through.
Hongfeng opened her mouth as if to say something, but swallowed the words back.
The two discussed the detailed plans for the future, and just before Xia Yixin was about to leave due to the late hour, Hongfeng mustered up the courage to ask, "Captain Xia, may I ask when Commander Lu will be back? If he's here, Chenxi will definitely be fine."
Xia Yixin could tell that Hongfeng was simply worried.
It's been three or four days since they returned from the "repair team," and very few people know that Lu Yan is missing. Xia Yixin is also afraid of causing a disturbance, so she hasn't said much.
Now that the situation has changed, she can no longer say anything.
She mumbled, "Soon."
Although Hongfeng also noticed that Lu Yan's sudden long absence from the base was a bit strange, she didn't ask any further questions.
Not long after Xia Yixin left, Hong Meng returned late at night with dinner.
However, she noticed the injury on her father's hand and asked in surprise, "Dad, who are you with...?"
She figured out the answer halfway through her sentence.
The only person who could get his father to take action is Chen Qian.
However, Hongfeng was very surprised. She had clearly seen Chen Zhe just now. With Chen Zhe there, how could her father and Chen Qian actually fight?
Soon, Hongfeng understood the reason after seeing Hongmeng's noticeably more relaxed and natural expression.
The incident before the apocalypse was not only a knot in her heart, but also a knot in Hong Meng's heart.
The best way to resolve inner conflicts is through simple and direct venting.
Hongmeng really took a heavy hit this time.
Hong Meng encountered Chen Zhe and Chen Qian downstairs. With old grudges and the feeling of being wronged by her own daughter sending them away, she directly challenged Chen Qian to a fight.
Hong Meng remained rational and did not use his superpowers, relying solely on his fists and feet.
Chen Qian didn't completely give in to the other party, but he certainly didn't use his full strength. After all, Hong Meng was first and foremost an elder, and secondly, he knew that he was truly wrong.
But Hong Feng's temper is 90% inherited from Hong Meng, so how could Hong Meng go easy on her?
So Chen Qian was beaten black and blue, his handsome face completely swollen like a pig's head, and he still refused to go to the medical station.
However, Chen Qian was in a good mood because Hong Meng had warned him before leaving, "If you ever dare to betray my daughter again, I'll kill you!"
What does this mean? It means that his father-in-law has already somewhat accepted him!
