Upon hearing this, everyone frowned. Li Han asked, "She hasn't left Pingyun Base yet? What's going on?"
In Ran Zhu's heart, she regarded Chi Xia and Zhang Xin as family. Although they did not spend much time together, they gave her a great sense of security and belonging.
Chi Xia's question and Zhang Xin's concern brought tears to the eyes of this seemingly strong girl, and she burst into tears.
At first, she tried her best to control her emotions, but when the tears started falling, she couldn't control them anymore.
Chi Xia looked at Ran Zhu, took out a tissue from her pocket, and handed it to her.
Zhang Xin sighed, stepped forward, gently patted her back, and softly comforted her, "It's okay, it's all over now."
Zhang Xin's words only made things worse. Ran Zhu cried even harder, hugging Zhang Xin tightly and burying her face in his shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.
The members of Ranzhu's team were all low-level ability users from Pingyun Base. Although they had never interacted with Chi Xia and her group, they had seen them before, and some of them had even witnessed how Zhang Xin and Chi Xia killed Zheng Zemin that night.
They initially thought that Chi Xia didn't take Ran Zhu with her when she left because she didn't like her and didn't acknowledge her as a member of the team. But now, seeing Chi Xia and the others' attitude towards Ran Zhu, they realized that things might not be that simple.
No wonder Ran Zhu gets so agitated whenever someone speaks ill of Chi Xia and the others.
They had come out to find resources, but seeing Ran Zhu and Chi Xia's interaction, they didn't dare to urge them and just waited quietly on the side.
After a long while, Ran Zhu finally calmed down, left Zhang Xin's embrace, looked at Zhang Xin's wet shoulder, her face flushed, and choked out, "I...I'm sorry, Sister Zhang, I couldn't control myself for a moment."
"It's nothing." Zhang Xin patted her back nonchalantly. "Now can you tell us what happened? How could Auntie have died at Ye Wenxin's hands?"
Ran Zhu took a deep breath, looked up at Han Junche, and said, "This all started after my brother-in-law crippled Liu Qing."
Did Han Junche cripple Liu Qing? When did Han Junche run into Liu Qing again?
Chi Xia turned to look at Han Junche: "When did you cripple Liu Qing?"
Han Junche didn't answer, but Lin Yi smiled and said, "When else could it be? It was when you promised to come to Thunder Base, and the boss waited for a long time but you didn't come, so he couldn't help but go looking for you."
Lin Yi recounted how Han Junche used the pretext of looking for Jerry to go to the Pingyun base, and how he, in a fit of rage for a woman, directly crippled Liu Qing.
In the past, Han Junche would have coolly said, "I'm just looking for Jerry because I can't stand his foul language."
But the current Han Junche is no longer the arrogant and cool person he used to be. His persona has almost completely collapsed. After Lin Yi finished speaking, he met Chi Xia's gaze and snorted softly, "I spared his life because you saved it."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately felt full.
Ran Zhu showed a hint of envy, and then went on to explain the whole story.
After Zheng Zemin died, Ye Wenxin stayed in their old building and refused to come out. Just as Master Zhuo was about to forcibly drive her away, Liu Qing was crippled by Han Junche.
Liu Qing was among the first to arrive at the Pingyun base. Considering his past contributions to the base's construction, Master Zhuo simply let him move into the small building and had Ye Wenxin take care of him.
