Chapter 336: Chapter 336: The Straight Man Tougher Than Steel

"Uhm..."

"Captain Jiang, Maozi’s girlfriend sent a lot of local products from her hometown, and we are dividing them right now."

Supporting a squad with a girlfriend isn’t just a saying.

Whether it is who’s girlfriend or family members sent food, everyone present got a share.

Some didn’t even get a single piece and had everything snatched away by their comrades.

Cough cough.

Jiang Ye had done the same thing when he was young; back then he was still in the Lu Air Group, always snatching from others.

So, he wasn’t surprised.

The only one silent in the dorm was Lai Xingchen, who didn’t join the scramble and just silently sat in the corner.

Of course, now he had already stood up.

Jiang Ye waved at him:

"Lai Xingchen, come here for a second."

"Yes, Captain Jiang."

The rest of the dorm was a bit worried; after all, everyone in the fire brigade knew Lai Xingchen’s situation—probably even the dogs in the backyard knew.

But faced with Devil Jiang’s tyranny, no one dared to really step forward and ask.

They could only stay aggrieved in the dorm, waiting for Lai Xingchen to return later.

...

In the hallway, with Devil Jiang present, the normally noisy and playful team members had all obediently returned to their dorms.

Lai Xingchen hung his head low, looking quite devastated.

This made Jiang Ye unable to find a reason to scold him:

"How did the police handle it?" he asked.

"The police told me to file a lawsuit and get back the 80,000 yuan my mother gave initially."

What kind of person was Jiang Ye?

Upon hearing this, he knew Lai Xingchen’s true thoughts:

"You don’t want to?"

Lai Xingchen paused for a moment and nodded:

"We grew up together since we were kids; I don’t want to be too harsh."

Oh, overflowing with sympathy.

"And what about Xiao Tang?"

Mentioning Xiao Tang, Lai Xingchen’s expression suddenly became awkward:

"She, she broke up with me."

This outcome was not unexpected.

After all, Lai Xingchen himself had just admitted that, considering their childhood friendship, he didn’t want to go to extremes.

But this is something girls absolutely cannot tolerate.

Jiang Ye had almost suffered a big loss because of a similar situation six years ago—how could he not understand?

"Heh, good riddance!" he suddenly blurted out.

This shocked Lai Xingchen quite a bit, seeming incredulous:

"Captain Jiang, how is that good?"

I’m almost heartbroken, okay?

Heh heh.

"Think someone else will wipe your ass if you don’t clean your own shit?

How come I have such a dim-witted team member under my command?"

Uh?

Is it that serious?

Of course!

Jiang Ye took a few deep breaths, really a bit angry.

"Lai Xingchen, if you still want to be with Xiao Tang, then drop the overly sympathetic crap, handle things the way they need to be handled, that’s all I’m saying, I’ll only say it once!"

If not for his wife’s sake, Jiang Ye wouldn’t bother doing such an ungratifying favor!

He really hadn’t ever done such a thing!

Lai Xingchen was truly an exception.

Don’t you know women are especially careful about these things?

They absolutely can’t tolerate a speck of sand in their eyes.

And Lai Xingchen, well, he’s quite bold to say it outright.

If Xiao Tang hadn’t mentioned breaking up then, she’d simply be confused.

Jiang Ye didn’t want to say more, nor did he want to stay longer; what if he couldn’t hold back his temper and started a fight?

So, after saying those words, he just walked away.

Leaving Lai Xingchen alone on the spot, confused by the wind for a long time, unable to figure things out.

"Uhm... what did Captain Jiang mean by that?"

A true straight man indeed, tougher than steel!
