Hearing this, Han Junche lowered his dark eyes slightly: "Uncle Jia, what exactly did you call me here for today?"
Looking at him, Jia Li took a deep breath and calmed himself down: "Jia Jing went to see Chi Xia today to ask her to leave the base. Chi Xia has already told you about that, right?"
Han Junche looked up at him but did not answer.
“It seems you did say it.” Jia Li looked at Han Junche and said, “Although you didn’t say it, I can guess that Chi Xia was the one who pushed you into the zombie horde and was the culprit who caused our family to be destroyed.”
Upon hearing this, Han Junche's dark eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked at Jia Li and said, "It was I who caused your family's ruin and death, it has nothing to do with her."
"How can it be nothing?" Jia Jing suddenly spoke up, "If it weren't for her, would you have become like that? If you hadn't become like that, how could my sister have been infected by zombies while protecting you? How could my mother have sacrificed herself to save my sister..."
"Jia Jing!"
Jia Li interrupted Jia Jing with a cold shout.
After Jia Jing angrily shut up and turned her head to the side, Jia Li looked at Han Junche and said, "Perhaps the direct cause of my family's destruction was not her, but everything started because of her. You expect Jia Jing and me to treat her calmly? We can't do that."
"I called you here today for two reasons: first, to make my position clear, and second, to get a straight answer from you: if we can't coexist with her, what are you going to do?"
Han Junche lowered his eyes.
Chi Xia had asked him the same question before.
Given that she and Jia Jing cannot coexist, what will he choose?
He had no choice; his only thought at the time was to keep her by his side, no matter what it took, and no matter if she would hate him.
But now, Jia Li is asking him again, asking him what his choice will be.
Han Junche remained silent for a long time, then looked up at Jia Li and said, word by word, "I choose to take her away from the base."
"leave?!"
Jia Liten stood up abruptly: "What will happen to Jia Jing and me if you leave? Without your deterrent, Jia Jing and I are just two useless people! Forget about managing the base and those superhumans, I'm afraid we'll be kicked out the moment you leave! Is this how you repay the Jia family for saving our lives?!"
This is an unsolvable problem.
What do you want?
Han Junche rubbed his temples, and when he looked up again, his dark eyes were cold: "Your Jia family did save me, I don't deny that, but there should be an end to the debt of gratitude and compensation. Even without Chi Xia, I couldn't stay with you forever. To put it bluntly, I've already compensated you more than enough for the two lives I've taken by saving you along the way and handing over the Thunder Base to you."
Both Jia Jing and Jia Li were shocked by these words.
They knew Han Junche was cold-hearted. He used to be cold to them too, but he always showed them basic respect. He always called them Uncle Jia, and he never refused their requests. This gave Jia Li and Jia Jing the wrong impression.
Han Junche owes the Jia family two lives, and they feel indebted, guilty, and responsible towards him. They have the illusion that they can rely on these debts to be tied to him for life.
Even though Chi Xia's arrival brought them a sense of crisis, they never expected Han Junche to say such a thing.
A casual remark that the compensation was already more than enough is tantamount to declaring that they owe each other nothing. So what foundation and stance do their previous schemes and plans have left to take hold?!
