Chapter 539: Chapter 539: Burglars in the Villa
Han Yue had tried more than once or twice to persuade Lian Zongren, and unexpectedly, although Lian Zongren seemed ordinary, one of his sons was a genius in research and invention, and the other was a powerful Level Five Metal Element Ability User.
Unfortunately, Lian Zongren also harbored the thought of staying long-term at the S city base, planning to settle down here?
"Uncle Lian, my aunt is also family with our Han family, which means we are all one family. I truly hope you all could return to B city,"
If not B city, then going back to E city would also do, considering the E city base had already become a subsidiary of their Han family.
"Hmph, you really don’t know what your lovely aunt has done. I’ve always treated her well; how has she treated our Lian family?"
Lian Zongren retorted sarcastically. Han Yue didn’t bring up Han Wan, but when he did, he almost wanted to sever ties with that woman right away!
Initially, it was because Han Wan had deceitfully become pregnant with Lian Ze that he was forced to part from his childhood sweetheart, Luo Yan. Combined with a family-arranged marriage and Luo Yan finally stepping back voluntarily, Han Wan agreed to treat the child Luo Yan was pregnant with as her own, which barely made him agree to marry Han Wan.
But in fact, it proved that Han Wan was too scheming. He had noticed some clues before, which is why he sent his younger son, Lian Jiyue, to the military.
Unexpectedly, during the apocalypse, the younger son who saved his family still couldn’t escape that woman’s persecution.
"Uncle Lian, I feel that my aunt might not be like that; there could be some misunderstandings between you,"
Although Han Yue didn’t particularly like this trouble-stirring aunt, he was still speaking on her behalf, though his goal naturally was to have Lian Zongren take Lian Ze and Lian Jiyue back with him.
"Then you go back and ask your lovely aunt first!"
Lian Zongren didn’t want to talk with Han Yue anymore. He had misunderstood before and would definitely not hold onto the self-deceptive idea of "If you are fine and I am fine, everyone will be fine" in the future.
He had already wronged Luo Yan and didn’t want to wrong his son anymore.
...
Before Su Jin returned to the villa, she specifically asked Shao Zian at the city gate how many Crystal Cores a Mecha consumed each time.
"Crystal Cores, huh? Just those few hits probably consumed about ten thousand,"
Shao Zian’s words nearly made Su Jin spit blood. Ten thousand Crystal Cores for ten strikes?!
Although the power seemed great, wasn’t that way too wasteful of Crystal Cores?
"Haha, I’ve heard that Mr. Lian is still continuously improving it; maybe it’ll be more economical in the future,"
Shao Zian, seeing the expression on Su Jin and the others, felt somewhat amused. The Mecha indeed consumed too many Crystal Cores, given its enormous size.
Still stimulated by the ten thousand Crystal Cores, Su Jin and her family followed in a daze to the temporary relief station, and sure enough, Lin Tianhui was already inside.
"Mom, you’ve succeeded in advancing, right?"
Su Jin asked happily.
"Yes, hey, advancing this time was not easy, but the benefits are huge. My healing output can now probably increase by several times compared to before,"
Lin Tianhui happily said.
Su Jin chatted with Lin Tianhui for a while, replenished her Special Ability, and then left with a team of people towards the villa.
"I heard that the base cafeteria has been providing free dinners these days, even including white flour steamed buns,"
Guo Yang said.
Su Jin hadn’t told Guo Yang that they sold 500 bags of food to the base. Unless he asked, they didn’t plan to tell, to avoid surprising them with how much supply was in Su Jin’s Space.
"Are you going to eat the white flour steamed buns?"
Lin Xiuyuan said as he closed the car door.
"Of course, I won’t compete with the people from the base, but I feel it’s a bit of a pity,"
Guo Yang replied.
Just as Su Jin and Lu Hao were about to get off, Mao Qiqi grabbed Su Jin and said, "Sister Xiao Jin, there’s someone... someone under the villa."
Mao Qiqi felt something eerie, only spoke out after confirming repeatedly, and even entered the garage before speaking.
How could someone possibly sneak in?
"No way, Qiqi, I’m getting goosebumps all over,"
Huang Yunxiang instantly felt terror rising within her. All their people were here, including Mao Zhihang and Lin Tianzhen, who were also in the store. They had just greeted them on the way back!
"Where is that person?"
Lu Hao asked, frowning.
"The basement"
Mao Qiqi confirmed.
"Then there’s no mistake, our own people generally wouldn’t go hang out in the basement"
As Lu Hao spoke, he pulled open the car door to have the people in another car wait for a moment.
They all simultaneously recalled the invisible person from yesterday.
"What’s up? Got to go out again?"
Xue Wanyi asked, puzzled. They’d already reached the courtyard of the house, so why loiter in the garage?
"There’s a burglar in the house, in the basement."
Lu Hao’s words immediately put Liao Yifan and a few others, who often caught thieves before the apocalypse, on high alert.
Stealing from this place?
"I’ll drag him out right now"
Liao Yifan rolled up his sleeves, ready to enter.
"Don’t rush, he probably hasn’t found what he’s looking for yet, or he wouldn’t still be lingering in the basement"
Lu Hao deduced.
Capturing him was definitely on the agenda, but they also needed to catch him red-handed.
Thus, the group acted as if nothing had happened and returned home; Lin Xiuyuan even collapsed onto the sofa as usual, complaining of fatigue.
Su Jin took the opportunity to let Local Tyrant Gold out of the space, too. During the day when they departed, to keep Local Tyrant Gold less lonely, she had casually placed it into the space, and now it was time to let it out.
"Local Tyrant Gold is truly a little fool"
Liao Yifan said meaningfully, clearly at home yet failing to notice even a burglar entering.
Local Tyrant Gold: ???
"Cough cough, let’s just have a simple dinner, Auntie, let’s go cook something in the kitchen"
Su Jin quickly changed the topic.
As Liao Yifan wanted to help, Su Jin had him stay by the sink near the dining table to wash the dishes and bowls.
The intruder, secretly sneaking into their home, still didn’t know everything that had happened inside; these dishes and bowls needed to be washed again.
Liao Yifan, understanding the look in Su Jin’s eyes, diligently began to rinse them.
Lu Hao glanced at the setup on the table and even opened the refrigerator door to inspect it.
Only food and beer were missing?
It appears the thief was hungry, Lu Hao thought, a trace of amusement showing on his face.
For dinner, Su Jin prepared only some simple meals. However, the scent of rice porridge, fried bread, and the fragrant chili sauce fried by Huang Yunxiang still wafted down to the basement, making Wang Liang feel hungry again.
He was too foolish; why didn’t he bring more food downstairs, especially since nobody would notice him here anyway?
But once this family had rested, he could still come out to find some food, though he wasn’t sure how to get his hands on that fan Han Yue mentioned.
They would definitely not keep the fan in the space of that Space Element Ability User from the team; it was very likely kept in Su Jin and Lu Hao’s bedroom.
Infiltrating the bedroom of two Advanced Special Ability Users was indeed a daunting task.
However, being an Invisibility Ability User, even if the two sensed something, they definitely wouldn’t see him.
