Chapter 58: Chapter 55 Li Lian in Trouble

The crowd stirred, with sounds of surprise, as all eyes gathered on the couple Wang Zhenguo behind them.

"Haha... It’s good to be back, good to be back!" Wang Zhenguo laughed joyfully, tears welling up in his eyes.

Mother Lin Hui touched Wang Xu’s face, her expression excited. To them, Wang Xu was their treasure; as long as Wang Xu was okay, everything was fine.

Wang Xu paid no attention to the people standing in the garden, letting them look on bewildered. They hadn’t expected the new Special Envoy to be so young, let alone that the two plainly-dressed elders standing beside him would be the envoy’s parents!

Missing a great chance to curry favor, many people regretted it so much that their intestines turned green with remorse.

The companion who had earlier complained that Ning Shao shouldn’t apologize widened his eyes; he hadn’t expected someone seemingly as ordinary as a farmer would have a connection with the Special Envoy, moreover as his parents. His heart was filled with fear; if his attitude had been slightly firmer at that time, what would the outcome be now?

His family was a big family in the Seventh Safe Zone, but compared to the Special Envoy, they counted for nothing; the Special Envoy could crush their family with just a flick of a finger!

"Ning Shao, this..." The companion’s face showed bitterness, and he couldn’t help but start to admire Ning Shao for not being deceived by appearances, seeing through it all, and deciding to learn from him in the future.

Ning Shao smiled, but said nothing.

"Brother Wang, this is Wang Xu, right? Truly talented, even able to ride a flying battleship, impressive, impressive!" Brother Chen extended his thumb, praising, looking at Wang Xu with eyes like those of a father-in-law looking at a son-in-law, the more he looked, the more pleasing he found him.

He never considered Wang Xu to be the so-called big shot, instead viewing Wang Xu as a promising young man capable of riding a flying battleship.

"Haha, no matter what he came back on, it’s good to be back. Your mom specially cooked your favorite dishes, hurry upstairs." Wang Zhenguo laughed.

Wang Xu nodded, letting his parents go upstairs first, as he had some matters to handle.

"Everyone."

After Wang Zhenguo and his wife went upstairs, Wang Xu turned around to face the people, his expression suddenly solemn.

The crowd’s spirits lifted; the Special Envoy finally spoke to them.

"I am the new Special Envoy. Today is my first day back, and I don’t have much time. Once my matters are settled, I will visit each of you." Wang Xu looked at Sirus, "This is Sirus; you can speak to him about any issues or affairs."

After speaking, Wang Xu turned and went upstairs, leaving Sirus alone.

No one dared to show any discontent; they surged forward immediately, competing to hand their business cards to Sirus. Sirus was already accustomed to such scenes, calmly accepting the cards one by one.

...

"...Dad, don’t worry. Your son is quite capable now, there’s no issue handling the Insect Beast."

At the dining table, parents naturally asked about the adventures. Having experienced the insect disaster battle, they were deeply fearful of insects and worried that Wang Xu, who often faced them, might come to harm.

Of course, Wang Xu wouldn’t let his parents worry about him, boasting dramatically, describing himself as an invincible force against the insects.

"Since you’re back this time, when are you leaving?" Mother Lin Hui lifted a piece of dish to Wang Xu’s bowl and asked.

"I’m leaving in half a month. Don’t worry, I’ll call you every day." Wang Xu replied.

Wang Zhenguo frowned: "Why only half a month? Xu’Er, you’re not young anymore; it’s just the right age to get married. Just take this time to find a partner and get married."

"Dad, isn’t this a bit too quick?" Wang Xu groaned.

"Quick? Look at Old Sun downstairs; his son married the girl after just one meeting, while you have half a month, isn’t that enough?" Wang Zhenguo said seriously.

Wang Xu bowed his head and ate his rice quickly, not daring to continue the topic.

"Hey, I’ve already picked them for you." Wang Zhenguo carefully took out dozens of photos from his pocket, all beauties, "This is Brother Chen’s daughter, this is Old Zhou’s daughter upstairs, this is Brother Yuan’s daughter next door..."

Wang Xu was embarrassed; his father’s work was truly comprehensive. At the same time, he thought of Tang Yan, wondering how she was doing now?

During his busy days in the Battle Group, Wang Xu occasionally contacted Tang Yan. At first, it was a bit awkward, but gradually they spoke more. This holiday, hearing that Tang Yan was also back, Wang Xu planned to look for her.

After dinner, Wang Xu went out.

With Sirus helping Wang Xu handle affairs, Wang Xu didn’t need to worry and went along the old route to Li Lian’s house.

Coming all the way, Wang Xu saw many old acquaintances, but many couldn’t recognize him. The former Wang Xu, though a talented student, was thin and always appeared fatigued; now Wang Xu was invigorated and full of energy, looking completely different from before.

"Hm?" As Wang Xu approached, he heard a faint voice from inside the house. He stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Who are you?" The door was opened by a woman, her face full of wrinkles, her hair half white.

"Auntie, it’s me, I’m Wang Xu." Wang Xu said.

"Wang Xu!" The woman’s eyes suddenly brightened, her expression turned excited, tears welled up in her eyes, and she "thumped" to kneel before Wang Xu.

Wang Xu was startled and hurriedly helped the woman up: "Auntie, what are you doing. Where’s Li Lian? Where did he go?"

A bad feeling rose in Wang Xu’s heart.

"Li Lian... Li Lian was imprisoned." The woman’s eyes were red, tears uncontrollably flowing down.

"What’s going on!" Hearing this, Wang Xu’s gaze instantly became fierce. He understood Li Lian well; he was kind to others, how could he have done anything unlawful?

Wang Xu assisted the woman into the house, quietly listening to her recount the events, his expression turning darker and darker.

"Du Ze!"

Wang Xu’s eyes emitted a cold light, causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.

Half a year ago, Wang Xu successfully passed the graduation trial, and Li Lian was accepted into the international university.

During that time, Li Lian got a beautiful girlfriend, Zhang Xin; the couple fell in love, and agreed to marry upon graduation. Unexpectedly, that’s when Du Ze appeared.

Du Ze hailed from the Second Safe Zone, the son of the Du Family, a notable family both in the Second Safe Zone and globally.

Du Ze took a liking to Zhang Xin, asking Li Lian to step aside. Li Lian refused, so Du Ze sent some men to break his leg, nearly forcing him to quit school.

However, Li Lian still didn’t give in, so Du Ze, in anger, used his connections to falsely accuse Li Lian and throw him in jail.

"This is outrageous!" Wang Xu’s face turned icy cold, "Auntie, leave this matter to me. Stay at home and wait for Li Lian’s return."
