After eating and drinking his fill, Wei Xiao still had something to tell Chi Shuyan.
‘When it came to serious matters, Chi Shuyan’s smile turned a bit more serious. Qi Zhenbai already knew about the Shen family. Father Chi had just returned, but didn’t know about the Shen family yet. He had gone to the Shen residence in the morning, but had left the military district soon after to patrol
the area. He had only heard a little about what happened at the Shen residence after he came back.
Wei Xiao was about to tell Old Chi about the Shen family so that he was on guard against them, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Chi Shuyan got up to open the door. Father Chi told his daughter to sit down and eat, and he went to open the door.
Seeing that her father had already gone to open the door, Chi Shuyan could only give in. Wei Xiao was waiting to tell Old Chi about Shen Rongyin and the Shen family. Who would have thought that as soon as Old Chi opened the door, Wei Xiao heard Shen Rongyin’s gentle and relaxed voice? It was
probably because he had been too stimulated by Yan Yan’s words today, but when Wei Xiao heard the woman ask Old Chi if he was free, his hands trembled and he almost dropped his bowl and chopsticks.
Qi Zhenbai quickly caught them and placed them back on the table. Wei Xiao’s hands didn’t stop shaking when he saw that it was indeed Shen Rongyin talking to Old Chi at the door. She finished speaking to Old Chi and nodded at him.
Wei Xiao wanted to curse. He looked at Shen Rongyin like she was a fierce beast. Fortunately, Shen Rongyin’s attention was on Chi Lingyan at that moment, so she didn’t notice Wei Xiao.
Seeing that Father Wei was exceptionally agitated to see Shen Rongyin, Chi Shuyan sighed and patted Father Wei’s hand to calm him down.
‘Wei Xiao also wanted to calm down. He had weathered all sorts of storms in his life, but he thought of how Yan Yan said that this woman was no longer human and that there were human bones buried in the flowerbed at the Shen residence. Adding to that the matter of Zhaoshan Village, it would be
strange if he could remain calm when this woman, who was more poisonous than a snake or scorpion, asked Old Chi if he was free!
He was afraid that once Old Chi went out, this woman would suck him dry of blood and tum him into a corpse.
Father Wei was about to say that there was no need to go out, and the woman could just come in, but Old Chi told them to eat first, and that he would be going out for a while.
Father Wei’s voice trembled. “Old… Old Chi, are you going out with Miss… Miss Shen?”
Father Chi didn’t think much of it. He thought that Father Wei had something important to talk to him about, and he said that he would be back after a while. Father Wei saw Old Chi and the Shen woman leave right away; he couldn’t stop them even if he wanted to. The chopsticks in his hand clattered to
the floor and he stared with wide eyes. “Yan Yan, why didn’t you stop that Shen person?”
Chi Shuyan’s expression was heavy after the Shen woman came to her house to look for her father.
On the side, Qi Zhenbai said, “There’s no hurry. Shen Rongyin won’t dare lay a hand on Father-in-law right now!”
“yan Yan, you didn’t tell your father what that Shen woman is really like?” Wei Xiao asked anxiously.
Chi Shuyan also regained her composure at that moment, and said, “Uncle Wei, when you see Shen Rongyin in the future, just act as usual. Otherwise, she’ll probably suspect that you already know about her. As for my dad, it’s best not to let him know about Shen Rongyin yet. After all, this woman ‘saved’
my dad before. It’s impossible for my dad not to go when this woman comes looking for him. If he acts too abnormally, he’ll easily alert the enemy!”
Wei Xiao could only nod. He was very worried about Old Chi. He used to be a bit envious of Old Chi’s luck with women before, but now, he didn’t envy him at all, and even broke out in cold sweat for him.
Chi Shuyan suddenly said, “Uncle Wei, did you go home just now?”
Wei Xiao didn’t know why Yan Yan suddenly asked this question, but he nodded in response. He heard Yan Yan suddenly say, “Uncle Wei, do you know that the Shen family has moved next door to your family?”
‘Wei Xiao:
