Chapter 485: 267 Unfathomable! (Second update)_2
Though the light had already grown dim, Guan Rong, who was almost a level 3 superpower user, could naturally see everything clearly. He noticed that Bai Ye seemed quite interested in Fang Yuxin and thought of why Guan Ren got hurt. He cursed Guan Ren in his mind for what he deserved!
Who else was there to provoke, to flirt with a man’s woman right in front of him, if not courting death? If it had been him, he would have been much more ruthless and relentless than Bai Ye!
Thinking this way, he suddenly felt that the injuries of his men were acceptable. After all, Bai Ye had already shown much more mercy compared to him.
At this moment, four more medium-sized trucks drove in. However, not many people got off the trucks; they first paid their respects to Guan Rong, then cast wary glances at Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye, before carrying the injured onto the trucks at Guan Rong’s signal.
Guan Rong had a second-level Wood Element superpower user under his command, but he was too precious, and Guan Rong dared not let this person come along, fearing that in the event of a fight, he couldn’t care for him and that individual might get hurt.
Thus, the injured could only be taken back to the headquarters of the Glory Mercenary Corps.
As he watched the injured being lifted onto the vehicles and the weapons scattered on the ground collected, Guan Rong finally spoke to Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye, "I’ve prepared a banquet for you, please get in the vehicle. Let’s go over there."
He intended to win the two over and probe their identities to see if they were, as Guan Ren suspected, deliberately setting a trap for the Glory Mercenary Corps in collusion with others.
However, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were not appreciative. Without speaking, Bai Ye directly refused, "We will drive our own car there."
Guan Rong glanced at a car not far away, finding it indeed a fine vehicle, no wonder that fool Guan Ren was tempted. He sighed inwardly, not insisting, and agreed with a smile.
But just as Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye walked to the car, preparing to get in, a middle-aged man wearing glasses suddenly walked out from Building 7, Unit 3, and called from a distance, "It’s great that you two are unharmed! Where’s Qingyun? Let her come out, her parents were worried sick just now but were afraid to come down and bother you."
Though his words sounded nice, his eyes kept darting back and forth between Bai Ye, Fang Yuxin, and Guan Rong while he spoke, his gaze flickering with calculation.
Fang Yuxin sneered inwardly, the event was over, so why was this person coming out now? Didn’t he just choose this moment to show his presence in front of Guan Rong, seeking to gain some advantage for himself?
Did he really think others were fools to let him scheme like this!
Fang Yuxin thus bluntly retorted, "What’s the matter? Seeing that we didn’t die, you’re in a hurry to come down now that you’ve made peace with squad leader Guan?"
Fang Yuxin’s words were quite impolite. She did it on purpose, to let Guan Rong know they had nothing to do with the Li Family!
The middle-aged man was about to greet Guan Rong when Fang Yuxin spoke, and his smile immediately stiffened. He awkwardly tried to smile and responded, "This young lady is quite the joker. I really came out because I’m worried about Qingyun." As he spoke, his eyes continuously peeked in the direction of the car, wishing for Li Qingyun inside to come out and speak for him!
Unfortunately, Li Qingyun seemed to have not noticed and just hid inside, not coming out. The glares from Fang Yuxin, Bai Ye, and Guan Rong made him feel on edge, and he couldn’t help calling out, "Qingyun, stop hiding, come out! Your parents are worried about you, at least go and see them."
Soon after, the car door opened.
The middle-aged man saw Li Qingyun coming out from inside, and his eyes brightened. He immediately said, "Right, Qingyun, these two are your friends, aren’t they? They came especially to find you, and you didn’t introduce us."
Just then, Li Qingyun looked up, and she gave the middle-aged man a deep look. Her gaze was as cold as ice and as sharp as a knife, making him at a loss for words!
His gaze flickered, and he subconsciously looked away, unable to maintain eye contact with Li Qingyun.
Then, he heard Li Qingyun say in an even tone, "Uncle, you don’t have to lie to me. You were terrified just now, weren’t you? My friends managed to provoke the Glory Mercenary Corps, and you were sure it would bring disaster upon you."
Li Qingyun was right; she hit the nail on the head regarding the middle-aged man’s real thoughts at the time, putting him in an awkward situation. He instinctively denied, "Qingyun! What are you saying? We’re your closest relatives; how could we think like that?"
Li Qingyun laughed derisively, "Relatives? Are you sure?" She then stopped paying him any attention, sat back in the car, and forcefully closed the door.
The middle-aged man had never encountered such an intense rebellion from Li Qingyun before. He was utterly stunned, followed by intense anger! His face turned livid, his facial muscles tensing, and he instinctively wanted to scold her but then he caught sight of Fang Yuxin, Bai Ye, and Guan Rong standing beside him!
His face turned pale with fear, the scolding he had prepared stuck in his throat, uncomfortable if not spoken, but possibly lethal if said!
At this time, Fang Yuxin spoke up, pleased with Li Qingyun’s attitude and knowing she truly intended to distance herself from these troublesome relatives. She decided to help her by saying, "Squad leader Guan has invited us over as guests, and Qingyun will be joining us. You should head back first."
This was dismissive, akin to shooing away a beggar. The middle-aged man’s complexion alternated between red and white, feeling that he had been insulted yet not daring to retort. Then he thought that as long as Li Qingyun could foster ties with squad leader Guan of the Glory Mercenary Corps, they could enjoy the benefits in the future. With squad leader Guan as their connection, who would dare to bully them?
Thinking this way, he dared not stop them any longer, even as if he had not heard Li Qingyun’s previous words, and tenderly said a few caring words to her through the car window, then politely waved his hand to Fang Yuxin, Bai Ye, and Guan Rong before turning back.
Guan Rong tugged at the corner of his mouth, his smile somewhat cold. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for the recommended tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
