Chapter 359: Strong, Unpredictable
Wu Yehao glanced at his subordinate before replying, "No need. Since Miss Yao trusts him, we should trust her judgment. Make sure to inform the others about him so they don't
accidentally offend him."
The man accepted the orders and said, "Yes, Captain."
After speaking, he typed something on his watch to relay the news to the headquarters.
Within minutes, the information about Long Yu had spread throughout The Origin.
At Yucheng headquarters, Fu Zongshang frowned as he read the news and asked, "Yuechuan, did you know Miss Yao Ran has a boyfriend?"
Still sulking after being brought back by Fu Zongshang when he sneaked away before, Yao Yuechuan was in a bad mood and had spent the day playing games.
Lying on the couch, engrossed in his game, Yao Yuechuan hummed in acknowledgment and replied, "I met him when I went to Juncheng City. Back then, he was still just a friend to Ran Ran. But given how close they were, it's no surprise they are a couple now."
Hearing this, Fu Zongshang picked up a file and threw it at Yao Yuechuan. Instinctively sensing the incoming danger, Yao Yuechuan leaped up from the couch.
Bam!
Watching the file strike the couch and stick there, Yao Yuechuan stared at Fu Zongshang with wide eyes.
Pointing at the hole in the couch caused by the file's edge, he said aggrievedly, "Uncle Fu! Are you trying to kill me?!"
Fu Zongshang rolled his eyes and said, "Stop exaggerating. Tell me, what kind of man is this Long Yu?"
Sitting back on the couch, Yao Yuechuan continued playing his game and replied, "He is strong and unpredictable."
Fu Zongshang nodded, expecting him to elaborate. After waiting for a while and hearing nothing more, Fu Zongshang asked, "That's it?"
Yao Yuechuan glanced at him and nodded, "That's it."
"........" Speechless at his calm yet nonchalant response, Fu Zongshang sighed, rubbed his throbbing temples, and said, "Go and investigate him."
Hearing this, Yao Yuechuan's eyes lit up. He quickly put away his phone and sprang to his feet. Saluting Fu Zongshang, he said, "Yes, Commander!"
Accepting the order with surprising enthusiasm, Yao Yuechuan left in a much better mood.
When the door closed behind him, Fu Zongshang sighed again and muttered helplessly, "His younger sister already has a boyfriend, but he still acts like a child. When will he grow up?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
While Yao Yuechuan investigated Long Yu's background, Yao Ran and her group arrived at the villa.
Hearing sounds from downstairs, Shi Xuan ended his training and went to check.
Seeing Yao Ran and Long Yu returning with a group of strangers, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Captain, are they new teammates?"
"No," Long Yu replied as he walked into the sitting room with Yao Ran and their guests.
Shi Xuan then looked at Chen Zizhen's men and asked, "Aren't you guys going to the sitting room with them?"
One of the men quickly shook his head and explained, "We are here to get the supplies that Miss Yao Ran promised before."
Listening to his answer, Shi Xuan looked at their chapped lips and emaciated bodies for a moment and then said, "It may take some time for Yao Ran to finish her business. We still have some breakfast left in the kitchen. Why don't you guys wait for her in the dining room while eating?"
After hearing his words, everyone swallowed their saliva in hunger but hesitated whether to accept his invitation or not.
Seeing this, Shi Xuan smiled reassuringly and said, "Let's go. I will heat the steamed meat buns and soy milk for you."
When they heard there were steamed meat buns and soy milk to eat, their hesitation disappeared immediately. Seeing Shi Xuan walking away, they quickly followed him.
While the hungry men sat around the dining table, Shi Xuan brought the meat buns and soymilk over from the kitchen.
He placed them on the dining table and said, "There are still some meat buns in the steamer and some soy milk in the pot. If you are still hungry, you can get it yourself."
Noting their uneasiness and hesitation, he added, "My name is Shi Xuan. If you need anything, call me. I still have things to do, so I will leave you to enjoy your food."
After saying that, he left the dining room. Curious about Wu Yehao and his group, Shi Xuan went to the sitting room to take a look.
When he stepped into the sitting room, he saw Yao Ran, Long Yu, and Wu Yehao staring at each other while the others stood respectfully to the side.
Observing this scene, Shi Xuan raised his brows slightly and thought, 'Are these people some kind of underground gang? But judging from their clothing, these people looked more like trained soldiers than a group of gangsters.'
Seeing Shi Xuan coming, Wu Yehao turned to look at him.
After observing each other for a moment, Shi Xuan sat down on the single sofa. He then
looked at Wu Yehao and asked, "Brother, are you an underground boss?"
Upon hearing this inexplicable question, Wu Yehao responded calmly, "I'm not an underground boss, but a member of The Origin. We used to work for Chairman Yao in the past, and now we serve under Miss Yao Ran."
He paused, looked at Yao Ran, and added, "As long as she returns to the headquarters."
Hearing this, Shi Xuan looked at Yao Ran with surprise. He curiously asked, "Yao Ran, are you some rich young lady?"
After a moment's thought, Yao Ran replied, "In the past, my Yao family could be said to be one of the wealthy and influential families in Haicheng City. But now, I'm just an ordinary
survivor."
When she said that, Wu Yehao interjected, "Miss Yao Ran, you are not the same as other survivors. You are our leader."
Ignoring his words, Yao Ran said, "You said you came here to invite me back to your headquarters to become your leader."
Wu Yehao nodded, and then Yao Ran continued, "If I remember correctly, Yao Yuechuan also wants to take me back. Why?"
