Chapter 642: What Bad Intentions Could an Uncle Possibly Have?

Chapter 642: Chapter 642: What Bad Intentions Could an Uncle Possibly Have?

Shi Fan had powerful support behind him.

His supporter was—Shi Yaoguang!

With Shi Yaoguang there, who would dare to do anything to her brother?

You should know, Shi Fan’s initial entry into the military was as the brother of Shi Yaoguang.

Knowing he was Shi Yaoguang’s brother, who would dare to offend him?

Of course, Shi Fan being Shi Yaoguang’s brother, at some levels, was also considered a secret.

A position like deputy squad leader naturally wouldn’t have the chance to know about it.

Shi Fan’s identity was confidential, and while it was confidential, it was also protected.

Knowing that the deputy squad leader was intentionally scheming against him, how could the higher-ups remain indifferent?

There you have it.

They sought him out immediately and taught him a lesson.

Humph.

After the lesson, the deputy squad leader was put on ice.

Shi Fan replaced him, becoming the new deputy squad leader.

And the Shi Family members brought in by the former deputy squad leader naturally didn’t end up well.

Even if Shi Fan weren’t Shi Yaoguang’s brother, he was still the deputy squad leader of the military camp.

Thinking of bullying someone under the military’s protection?

Dream on!

Or rather, they were asking for trouble!

Warned by this, the Shi Family members naturally didn’t dare to cause more trouble in the military camp.

However, they weren’t the kind to give up easily.

What did Shi Fan represent?

He represented money, glory, status!

These were precisely what the Shi Family strove for but could not attain.

Seeing that Shi Fan could bring them such benefits, the Shi Family naturally couldn’t give him up.

When Shi Fan discussed this with Shi Yaoguang, he was somewhat distressed.

"I can’t possibly go back with them, but they simply won’t listen to me," he said.

Shi Fan, pouting, continued, "Back when I was in the military camp, the camp had a deterring effect on them, but now..."

He glanced weakly at Quan Jinbei and said, "Now I’m here with my brother-in-law, and if he finds out, he will definitely come looking for me again."

Shi Fan didn’t spell it out, but he made his feelings pretty clear.

Quan Jinbei was a tiny bit useless.

When he was in the military camp, Shi Fan’s father dared not come looking for him because of the camp’s deterrent effect.

Coming over to Quan Jinbei’s place, Shi Fan’s father dared to behave recklessly.

If this wasn’t because Quan Jinbei was useless, what else could it be?

Quan Jinbei naturally noticed the little rascal’s scheming.

But...

He was not angry.

Of course, it wasn’t because he wasn’t angry, but because he thought it wasn’t worth it to pick on a little kid.

Sooner or later, the kid would realize that he was someone not to be trifled with.

"Wife, since Xiaofan is so troubled, why don’t we help him out?" he suggested.

When Shi Fan heard Quan Jinbei speak up, his heart skipped a beat.

Truth be told, he didn’t trust Quan Jinbei.

Especially after Quan Jinbei had spoken, he was even more suspicious of Quan Jinbei’s ulterior motives.

He just didn’t know what kind of trick Quan Jinbei was up to now.

Soon enough, Shi Fan found out.

What Quan Jinbei wanted to do was called...

Fighting fire with fire!

Shi Fan had deliberately tried to pull the wool over Quan Jinbei’s eyes, and now Quan Jinbei had returned the favor in full measure.

Shi Fan couldn’t help but criticize in his heart; Quan Jinbei was really too petty.

A grown man, acting like this, unbelievable.

This pettiness of his, just incredible.

Quan Jinbei didn’t care whether he was disdained by Shi Fan or not, as long as Shi Yaoguang didn’t look down on him, that was all that mattered.

Shi Yaoguang had indeed failed to notice the subtle rivalry between Quan Jinbei and Shi Fan.

Mainly because both Quan Jinbei and Shi Fan were on her side.

Since the two were now aligned on the same front, she naturally didn’t need to be on her guard.

After all, she couldn’t possibly be expected to guard against everything, could she?

Between insiders, even if there were some minor frictions, it was quite normal, and there was no need to be overly cautious.

Excessive caution could instead lead to estrangement.

That was Shi Yaoguang’s thinking.

Since she didn’t observe closely, she naturally was unaware of the subtle competition between Quan Jinbei and Shi Fan.

She had heard from Zhan Miao that after learning of Shi Fan’s achievements, the Shi Family had approached him, hoping he would return to the Shi Family.

If Shi Fan wished to return on his own, she naturally would not stop him.

But if he didn’t want to, Shi Yaoguang wouldn’t just watch him be pressured by the people from the Shi Family’s side.

After all, Shi Fan’s choice was what mattered most.

After sneakily glaring at Quan Jinbei, Shi Fan began to act coquettishly toward Shi Yaoguang.

With an aggrieved tone, he complained, "Sister, I don’t want to see them."

"Sister, they are different from you, they just want to exploit the value in me! When I had no value before, they didn’t want me, letting me fend for myself outside. If it weren’t for meeting you, I might have already died."

"If they had really cut ties with me completely, I would have respected them for it, but they simply can’t do it!"

"These people want everything, which is just too wishful thinking!"

Listening to the little guy’s complaints, Shi Yaoguang felt he made a lot of sense.

The Shi Family...

Indeed went a bit too far.

Just as they were thinking that the Shi Family had no shame, the Shi Family came knocking at their door.

This Shi Family, of course, was not Shi Rusong’s Shi Family.

Although both families were surnamed Shi, there were indeed no connections between them.

That’s what Shi Yaoguang thought.

But soon, she was proven wrong.

Upon seeing her, Shi Fan’s father became very excited and blurted out, "Great-grandma!"

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

Shi Fan: "..."

Quan Jinbei: "..."

All three were at a loss for words.

Who would have thought that Shi Fan’s father had this hobby.

Shi Fan’s father, named Shi Kanshan, claimed that he and Shi Yaoguang were from the same lineage.

To be precise, it was Shi Yaoguang who was part of his lineage.

Shi Kanshan’s grandfather and Shi Rusong’s grandfather were indeed brothers.

It was only due to a disagreement that the two sides couldn’t come to a resolution and finally split up.

Shi Kanshan also didn’t expect that Shi Yaoguang was the daughter of Shi Rusong.

Or rather, he didn’t expect that Shi Yaoguang was the granddaughter of Shi Rusong’s father.

Even though this sounds a bit convoluted, the message is clear.

Simply put, Shi Fan was now not only emotionally but also blood-relatedly entitled to call Shi Yaoguang "Sister."

It was just that she was his cousin.

A cousin is still a sister, after all, the difference is negligible.

For Shi Fan, Shi Kanshan’s words were an unexpected delight.

He had thought more than once how nice it would be if Shi Yaoguang were truly his sister.

He never expected happiness to come so suddenly.

It gave him an urge to cry tears of joy.

However, such a melodramatic atmosphere could not last long.

Because...

There was still Shi Kanshan there.

At first, Shi Kanshan truly didn’t know that he was related by blood to Shi Yaoguang.

Although he had seen Shi Yaoguang’s face on the screen, he even thought her looks might have been the work of makeup, and only after looking carefully did he realize that was not what he had thought.

Shi Yaoguang’s appearance was exactly like his long-deceased great-grandmother!

Of course, that was just his exaggerated statement.

Whether or not Shi Yaoguang looked like his great-grandmother was another matter.

That he didn’t resemble her, that was certain.

When all was said and done, Shi Kanshan’s enthusiasm was all about currying favor with Shi Yaoguang.

Seeing his little schemes exposed by Shi Fan made Shi Kanshan somewhat annoyed; he glared fiercely at Shi Fan, then said to Shi Yaoguang, "Yaoguang, you mustn’t listen to Xiaofan. I am your paternal uncle, what bad intentions could an uncle have?"
