Chapter 142: Apocalypse, I Am Not the Holy Mother 48
Later, when superpower users in the military rose, many insanely operated private bases were seized, but not only was Zhao Zhenxiang’s base not seized, it was actually incorporated into the military, and Zhao Zhenxiang was even granted a military rank, which also had to do with his strict management of the base.
Zhao Zhenxiang and his son Zhao Yan were a true contrast, the father a hero and the son a coward; yet, despite being shrewd at all times, Zhao Zhenxiang was completely infatuated with his son, never disciplining him otherwise.
Zhao Yan was narrow-minded and lacked a big-picture perspective, and he had a strong desire for revenge. His leg, one could say, was indirectly lost because of Li Man. If Li Man hadn’t coveted Lin Shuangshuang’s Qingque Sword, he wouldn’t have gone to that place and met Red Jade. Let alone the recent incident where Li Man abandoned him like an object to Lin Shuangshuang, if it weren’t for Lin Shuangshuang’s quick reflexes, Zhao Yan would have already been dead.
Lin Shuangshuang stared at Zhao Yan, who was desperately pleading with her, yet in his eyes, there was undisguised hatred. She suddenly felt that if she sent Zhao Yan to Zhao Zhenxiang’s base, with Zhao Yan’s narrow-mindedness and Zhao Zhenxiang’s protectiveness, this person who had been Li Man’s greatest support for a long time might become Li Man’s downfall! Even if it couldn’t kill Li Man, Zhao Zhenxiang’s anger and Zhao Yan’s hatred would certainly cause a lot of trouble for Li Man!
Lin Shuangshuang decided not to kill Zhao Yan but instead send him to his father Zhao Zhenxiang’s hands. At least, it would help kill Li Man. After Li Man was dead, she could then kill Zhao Yan. Honestly, Lin Shuangshuang was somewhat afraid of Li Man’s scheming, but she was fully confident and assured in killing Zhao Yan, so she didn’t care about letting Zhao Yan bounce around for a while!
Lin Shuangshuang remembered that Zhao Yan’s father’s base wasn’t far from here, because when Zhao Yan ran away from home, he didn’t go too far. It would be easy to send him back; just drop him off at Zhao Zhenxiang’s base on the way.
However, Lin Shuangshuang’s plan relied somewhat on her foresight from her previous life, which was hard to explain. Li Wenbo was still waiting for her answer. Looking at Zhao Yan, who was crying in panic, Lin Shuangshuang had to pretend to be a Holy Mother.
"Bring him along. We can put him on Red Jade’s back while traveling; it doesn’t take any effort, and we’re not short of his share of food." Lin Shuangshuang said indifferently, with a face of nonchalance. Li Wenbo nodded and didn’t object.
Besides the past grudges between Lin Shuangshuang and Zhao Yan, no one else had a vendetta against Zhao Yan. Moreover, because Zhao Yan was discarded by Li Man, everyone had a small amount of sympathy for him. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have tolerated Zhao Yan lingering around for so long, and Zhao Yan could take care of himself. It was only Red Jade who had to carry a bit more luggage, which meant nothing weight-wise for the current Red Jade!
Thinking of Red Jade, Lin Shuangshuang couldn’t help but look towards the mound of insects, seeing Red Jade chomping on insects with crunching sounds, while using its sharp front paws to slice open a bunch of ant legs. Meanwhile, Mi Lu was lovingly scooping the meat from the ant legs that Red Jade had sliced open for Doumi.
Doumi was very happy, purring while eating, occasionally rubbing its big head against Mi Lu and Red Jade. Lin Shuangshuang watched the harmonious scene, twitching her lips, unsure of when Red Jade and Doumi started to fancy each other.
