Chapter 302, the forces behind it
Jiang Ran sneered at Huo Lingyin's true love, not because the rival in love was Si Xu's father and she was biased, but, in her opinion, if Pei Qing really liked Huo Zhihua, she would not raise Shi Yujiao outside. .

Even Pei Xiao thinks that his father and Shi Yujiao are true love, saying he loves Huo Zhiqiang?Hehe, who would believe it?

Her own feelings are still a mess, Huo Lingyin thinks that she has no right to comment on the grievances of her elders.

There is another reason why she said this to Jiang Ran today: "As you said, if Uncle Pei really marries Shi Yujiao, I'm afraid there will be some troubles in the four-party alliance this time."

"No." Jiang Ran said, "Pei Xiao is not stupid, and besides, Pei Qing is not stupid either."

The rise of the Shi family was too sudden, what was involved in it, Pei Qing would not marry Shi Yujiao until Pei Qing investigated clearly.

That's why she said when they met, "It's wise to break it when it's broken."

……

Perhaps it was fate, when Jiang Ran and Huo Lingyin came out of the room, they bumped into Shi Yujiao who came out of the study again.

I don't know what Pei Qing said to her. When the woman came out, her eyes were red, and the tears on her face were still wet.

Seeing the two, she didn't hide her hostility as before, but stared at them fiercely, gritted her teeth: "You two are playing tricks, aren't you?"

As soon as she asked, Jiang Ran knew that the eldest sister's plan to take over the Eastern Dynasty base had failed.

She smiled indifferently, and replied: "I said it was me, so what can you do?"

It was rare for Huo Lingyin to see Jiang Ran provoke others so bluntly—even when facing Huo Xuan at the Beichen Base, she always made insinuations.

She looked at Jiang Ran suspiciously and blinked, intending to ask.

Shi Yujiao tightened the handkerchief that was wiping her tears, and said in a vicious tone, "You wait for me!"

"I'm afraid of you?" Jiang Ran disdained, like a provocative little bastard, "You can still speak harshly, it seems that the last night tour of the city wall didn't make your memory long?"

This girl is an unscrupulous master. She had already experienced it when she brought someone to bomb the other courtyard last time.

Shi Yujiao held back her tears, crumpled the handkerchief into a ball, gouged out Jiang Ran with the eye knife, and then went downstairs on her high heels.

When the sound of high heels hitting the ground faded away, Huo Lingyin asked Jiang Ran: "What are you provoking her for?"

"Curious." The old god Jiang Ran was there, "I want to see if the person behind her will jump out to vent her anger on her after being so humiliated by me."

Huo Lingyin disagreed with her approach: "If you do this, don't you put yourself in danger?"

"Is there a safe place in this world now?" Jiang Ran smiled casually, "Since it is dangerous, if I don't go, it will always come."

This is true, but it seems completely unreasonable.Huo Lingyin shook her head, not to worry about this problem, and sent Jiang Ran away.

……

Si Xu didn't attend Huo Zhiqiang's funeral, and if he didn't go, there was no need for Jiang Ran to attend.

After the funeral, Huo Lingyin packed up her things and prepared to return to the Beichen base. Si Xu and Jiang Ran joined her, while Chu Yuan remained at the Dongchao base.

"I still have to trouble Team Chu." Looking at the person who came to see him off, Jiang Ran said guiltily, "Si Xu has already communicated with Pei Xiao, you can find him at any time if you have any situation."

"Oh, what's the relationship between us, what's the trouble?" Chu Yuan waved his hand and put Jiang Ran's suitcase into the trunk.

When he stopped, a silver necklace fell from under his clothes to the ground.

Jiang Ran leaned over to pick up the necklace, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the photo inside.

"Captain Chu." Carefully closing the photo frame, Jiang Ran returned the necklace to Chu Yuan, "When this is over, let's go and see her together."

Chu Yuan hung the necklace around his neck again, and smiled in a trance when he heard this: "Okay, wait until this is over."

……

Reflecting the morning light, the jeep drove away from Dongchao base.

When Chu Yuan returned to the apartment, he happened to meet Pei Xiao who was leading a patrol team.

The two passed each other without saying hello or even making eye contact—like strangers who have never met before.

"I want to know the hidden forces behind the Shi family... Even if it's just for the four-party covenant, the people in charge of the Eastern Dynasty base must be the Pei family."

This was the task Jiang Ran entrusted to him.

"Captain Chu, I don't need you to investigate anything, you just need to stay at the Dongchao base and see what the Shi family will do next.

"Shi Yujiao originally hoped to marry Pei Qing, but now it seems that Pei Qing won't marry her—if the Shi family really has ambitions, they won't just wait for death.

"Compared to an old fox like Shi Yuji, Pei Xiao is young after all. If necessary, please help him."

The Shi family... Speaking of which, since Huo Zhiqiang's death, the Shi family seems to be less ostentatious than before.

……

The morning light reflects on the magnolia tree in the yard, and dewdrops hang on the emerald green leaves, which are about to fall.

A white hand stretched out, caught the dew on the tip of the leaf, licked it with the tip of its tongue, and rolled the dew into its mouth.

The man squinted his eyes, tilted his head and looked at his fingertips, showing a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Feng." Behind him, someone hurriedly walked through the garden path and stopped two meters behind him, "Si Xu has left the Dongchao base, when shall we do it?"

The person who came was Shi Yuji, the head of the Shi family.

The old fox, who was calm in front of outsiders, bowed deeply at this moment, with his head hanging low, humbly lowering his posture to the lowest.

"Leave from...?" The man said with a stiff tone, like a robot, "Where did you go?"

"According to the news from the spies, he went to the Beichen base with the Huo family." Shi Yuji hesitated, "I heard that they got the virus vaccine from the Dongchao laboratory..."

"Oh?" Hearing the vaccine, the man slowly turned around, "Are you sure?"

Shi Yuji leaned even lower, not daring to look at the person in front of him: "It's absolutely true."

The man fell silent.

After waiting for a while, but did not get a response, Shi Yuji asked, "Mr. Feng?"

"I'll go." The man said, "Look, that... Si Xu."

Unable to refute the man's words, Shi Yuji respectfully said: "Si Xu is a high-level dual-line ability user, you, you have to be careful."

"know."

After the man finished answering, he looked up at the rising sun, frowned, and muttered: "I want to sleep."

He walked around Shi Yuji to the cabin by the garden: "I'm going to sleep, remember to prepare food for me."

Hearing the word food, Shi Yuji's body trembled, and said shyly, "Yes."

……

After leaving the garden, Shi Yujiao was waiting by the door.

Seeing her brother, the woman showed a puzzled expression: "Brother, who is that person in the garden..."

"Don't ask." Shi Yuji wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and warned her sister in a low voice, "Also, don't tell others, you know?"
