Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 523: Xiao Chen’s Suspicions

Even though he knew someone would come to rescue him, he hadn’t expected it to be her.

At this moment, he felt a mix of secret delight and worry, worried about Qiu Jun’s schemes that were yet to unfold, after all, for her...

The other few, upon receiving Xiao Chen’s gaze, slowly lowered their guns, their eyes vigilant as they stared at Yun Yue.

Yun Yue glanced at Xiao Chen, the evilness in her eyes slightly subsiding, and she spoke with an indifferent voice, "If I hadn’t come, you would’ve died here!"

The fact that they were locked in here with only five people... The Vampire squad had the full capability to either kill them or capture them alive, so why hadn’t they made a move?!

And why had they been in such a standoff?!

Yun Yue couldn’t guess what Qiu Jun was planning at the time.

"Master Chen!"

Feng Ye and Xiao Feng jogged over, and seeing him unharmed, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Xiao Dian’s pale and powerless face, Xiao Feng anxiously stepped forward to support him, asking with concern, "How are you?"

Xiao Dian smiled weakly, showing his teeth as he said, "I won’t die."

The shot in his back wasn’t fatal, it was just the excessive blood loss that had made him very weak.

Once he finished speaking, he felt the world spinning around him, his eyelids as heavy as if they weighed a ton, and he passed out from extreme fatigue.

"Back to the base," Xiao Chen ordered with thin lips slightly parted, his slightly rough fingers gently grasping her hand and carelessly throwing her gun to Feng Ye.

Feng Ye hurriedly caught it—these guns could easily misfire!

With a military helicopter on hand, the group hurried back at top speed.

After a blood transfusion, Xiao Dian was no longer in danger of losing his life, but Sun Li hadn’t woken up yet. Ruan Yingtong could only wait until she got better before returning to Beijing with her.

"Let me in! I’ve got something to tell Master Chen!"

A commotion broke out outside the ward, causing Xiao Chen inside to frown involuntarily.

"Let him in." Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, as he sat on the sofa with his long legs crossed, his sharp gaze trained on Wu Renjun.

Wu Renjun felt goosebumps under his stare and plucked up courage to say, "Master Chen! I have something to say!"

In the ward, there was only Feng Ye, Xiao Feng, and Xiao Dian on the bed, so he didn’t hold back.

"Wu Renjun, you’d better think carefully before you speak," Feng Ye warned with narrowed eyes.

Did he think he could get away with anything against Yun Yue just by talking to Master Chen?

Wu Renjun’s face stiffened, "I’ve thought it through, and if I don’t speak up, I’m afraid Master Chen will be kept in the dark forever."

Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly, his thin lips parted, "Speak."

Wu Renjun wore a hardened expression, leaning on his crutch as he began, "Master Chen! Do you know who ambushed you?!"

Xiao Chen remained silent.

"It was the Vampire squad! They are Qiu Jun’s most trusted force. Not to mention how many of our brothers they have killed before, just today, ten of our brothers died at their hands!"

"And Miss Yun! Even though she had the chance to kill or even capture all five of them, she actually let them go!"

Wu Renjun truly felt it was unjust for the brothers who had died!

After he spoke, total silence fell over the ward, and a chilling gaze focused on him.

Wu Renjun knew that Master Chen was angry!

A surge of satisfaction rose in his heart, and he continued, "Master Chen! I know Miss Yun is your fiancée, but I still have to say, she is not fit to be the future Lady of the Xiao Family! How can she command the respect of our brothers with her actions!"

They were his comrades, closer than blood brothers, slain by the enemy’s guns, and he could do nothing to avenge them but watch helplessly as the enemy escaped under his watch. He was both enraged and resentful!

The person in front of him fell silent, only the sound of fingers rhythmically tapping on the chair could be heard, when suddenly a suffocating pressure came crashing down, like a sharp claw seizing his throat!

"She is not one for you to judge whether she’s fit to be the Lady of the Xiao Family!"

In an instant, Xiao Chen was like a devil from hell, casting a cold glance his way, "So, was it you who hurt the vampire squad? If it wasn’t Yun Yue who injured them, would you have been able to capture them?"

He was not a talkative man, but for Yun Yue, he had to say these words.

Wu Renjun was stunned, stubbornly hanging his head low.

"The people were injured by her, she decides how to deal with them. Even I don’t have the right to interfere with her decision, what gives you the right to do so?"

"I know what’s on your mind, you want to avenge your fallen brother, but think carefully, Yun Yue is not from Beihuang Base, she doesn’t have that obligation!"

Wu Renjun gripped his cane tightly, remaining silent.

"After your recovery, you will be demoted two ranks, take the time to reflect! Dismissed!"

Neither Feng Ye nor Xiao Feng pleaded for Wu Renjun, having already talked to him before. He was stubborn and thought seeking Master Chen would get him justice, but in reality, he was just asking for trouble!

A demotion of two ranks was letting him off easy, it was fortunate that they didn’t resort to military law!

"Yes..." Wu Renjun clenched his teeth, acknowledging reluctantly, but resentment still simmered in his heart.

This was apparent to all three of them.

"It seems that there are many who are not as they seem in the military, you handle this, Feng Ye," Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes.

The Lady of the Xiao Family didn’t need their judgments, and he would not allow anyone to speak ill of Yun Yue.

Feng Ye perked up as if he had received an important task, his expression grave, "Rest assured, Master Chen, I will ensure that no one dares to hold any dissatisfaction or doubt towards Sister Yue!"

These people must be too idle!

Was there anyone more suitable to be the Lady of the Xiao Family than Yun Yue?!

Uncle Xiao and Lady of the Xiao Family couldn’t wait for Sister Yue to become their daughter-in-law if they knew someone in Beihuang Base was displeased with Yun Yue, Aunt Jiang would be the first to jump out!

"Master Chen, where is Xiao Yu?"

Having had no time to ask, Xiao Feng grasped the opportunity to inquire hastily.

Among the four brothers, he and Xiao Yu had the closest relationship, naturally not wanting to see him come to harm.

Xiao Chen fell silent, then spoke solemnly, "He’s still in Qiu Jun’s hands."

This time he had been careless, Qiu Jun used Xiao Yu as bait to lure him, and he had a feeling Qiu Jun’s intentions weren’t so straightforward.

There had been a chance to kill him, yet he hadn’t made a move, instead, he was trapped in that factory for two days.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and his black eyes shot forth a sharp, cold light.

"How did you learn I was trapped?"

Xiao Feng and Feng Ye exchanged glances.

"It was Beihuang Base that told us, the news came from Miss Yun via the Golden Net,"

Feng Ye pondered, "Do you think there’s a trick, Master Chen?"

But both sources seemed reliable!

"With Qiu Jun’s cunning, we can’t help but think twice, perhaps I’m overthinking it," Xiao Chen said, pinching his tense brow, his voice weary and hoarse.

"Master Chen, you go rest first; Feng Ye and I will keep watch here. After you wake up, we can discuss how to rescue Xiao Yu," suggested Feng Ye.

He must not have slept a wink these past two days.

Xiao Chen nodded slightly and walked outside. Yun Yue and Ruan Yingtong were chatting and laughing, the rare warmth in the girls’ eyes making him not want to disturb them. He went straight to his own rest chamber.
