Although it was very light, it was particularly jarring, each sound like a blow to the heart.
Lin Yi remained silent, watching Chi Xia sit down at the table, pick up her chopsticks, and use her chained hands to lift her bowl and eat her rice bite by bite.
Every time she moved, the iron chains made a rattling sound.
Lin Yi remained silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is there anything I can do?"
"Let's wait a little longer." Chi Xia held her bowl, looked at the food in front of her, and lowered her eyes. "I want to have a good talk with him first. I might have to trouble you for the next few days."
Lin Yi sighed: "Okay."
Thunder Base is now on the right track, with complete departmental functions and dedicated staff in each department. There are usually no major issues, and Jia Li and Jia Jing handle affairs in their respective detached buildings.
Their detached house was right across from Han Junche's. When Han Junche arrived, there was a table in the living room with several dishes and three sets of bowls and chopsticks on it. Jia Li and Jia Jing were sitting at the table.
Seeing Han Junche enter, Jia Li smiled and waved to him: "Little Han, come and sit down, it's been a long time since we had a meal together."
Han Junche walked to the table but did not sit down. He just stood there and looked at Jia Li, saying, "No need, I have something to do. What does Uncle Jia want to see me about?"
“What could be more important than eating in the base?” Jia Li stopped smiling and gave him a reproachful look. “I do have something to discuss with you. Let’s eat and talk.”
Han Junche frowned slightly, but ultimately sat down.
Jia Li watched him sit down, then smiled again: "I specially had someone make your favorite dish, Jia Jing, come and put that fish-flavored eggplant on Xiao Han's plate."
Jia Jing smiled and was about to get up when Han Junche raised his hand to stop her. He looked at Jia Li and said, "Really, there's no need. Chi Xia is still waiting for me to go back and have dinner with her. Uncle Jia, just say what you need."
Upon hearing this, the smiles on Jia Jing and Jia Li's faces immediately vanished.
Jia Li looked at Han Junche and said, "Little Han, now that you have a wife, you've completely forgotten about Jia Jing and me. Before, every time you came back from a mission, you would have a meal with Jia Jing and me. Why can't you even have a meal together now?"
"Dad, stop talking." Jia Jing glanced at Han Junche: "Junche isn't that kind of person."
However, her words only fueled her anger. She slammed her chopsticks on the table and glared at Han Junche, saying, "Han, give Jia Jing and me a straight answer! Yesterday, you publicly humiliated us because of Chi Xia, and today, because of Chi Xia, you won't even have a meal with us. In the future, if Chi Xia and I have a conflict, will you kick Jia Jing and me out of the base?!"
Jia Li seemed genuinely angry, his chest heaving violently.
"Dad! Don't be angry. Junche is definitely not that kind of person. You're not well, you can't get angry!"
Jia Jing said anxiously, "Jun Che, you know that ever since Mom and my sister passed away, my dad has had heart palpitations. Please say something to calm him down."
Han Junche frowned, looking at Jia Li's heaving chest and then at his angry face, and said, "Uncle Jia, you're overthinking it. You and Jia Jing are in charge of this base, and I'm just a team leader responsible for collecting supplies. No one can kick you and Jia Jing out."
"The person in charge?"
Jia Li sneered, "Jia Jing's ability is only level three, and I don't even have an ability. Do you think all those ability users in the base really submit to the management of the two of us? They don't submit to us, they submit to you! We're just the fox borrowing the tiger's power! Without you, we're nothing!"
