The waste is going to strike back

Chapter 213: How can we predict the unpredictable world?

Mu Xin casually threw the medical bag at hand out, Yan Shaohui dodged it, then Yan Shaohui walked out of the bathroom laughing, leaving Mu Xin alone with a red face and cursing.

The time at the dinner table was quite pleasant. It passed quickly as Yan Shaohui and the old housekeeper chatted with each other, and Xiahou Shuo and Mu Xin argued with each other.

Mu Xin went to help the old housekeeper clean up the dishes, leaving Yan Shaohui and Xiahou Shuo drinking tea at the dining table.

"This is the last bit of Orleans black tea my father left. It's not a waste to give it to distinguished guests like you and Mu Xin." Xiahou Shuo crossed his legs and sipped the white porcelain teacup bit by bit, as if he was drinking the most expensive and delicious tea in the world, every drop of it was precious.

For a young man from an aristocratic family like Yan Shaohui, such tea is just common, but for Xiahou Shuo, it is a relic left to him by his father.

The fact that he was willing to take out this tea to treat him and Mu Xin showed that Xiahou Shuo had great respect for them.

"Do you want to stay here any longer?" Yan Shaohui swallowed a sip of tea and asked Xiahou Shuo opposite him.

"Well, I'm not going to leave."

First of all, the old butler was reluctant to leave this place. After all, it was hard to leave his homeland. The old butler had lived here for almost his entire life. He couldn’t let the person run around with him when he already had half a foot in the coffin.

Even if the old butler was willing, how could he bear to let the old butler wander around with him and sleep in the open air?

The old butler was his only relative, and Xiahou Shuo just wanted to treat him well, take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life.

Besides...

Xiahou Shuo's slender fingers gently stroked the rim of the teacup, just like caressing a lover's cheek, affectionately yet carefully.

If you look closely, you can find many tiny scars on Xiahou Shuo's fingertips. These are the marks left when he lost his father and the Xiahou family, and desperately wanted to use the broken pieces of a cup to end his life which was already over. He was slapped hard in the face, and was pushed to the ground. The pieces of the cup on the ground were embedded in his palm.

Although these tiny scars will gradually fade with the passage of time and eventually be erased as if they had never existed, Xiahou Shuo knows that these scars are so deep that they seem to be engraved in his heart, constantly reminding him of the past. A fire burned away his beauty, his home, and everything he had.

He wants to get it all back from Ming Xiche, as well as that damn Xiahou Yunjie.

"You know." Half of Xiahou Shuo's face was hidden in the darkness where the lights could not reach. The other half of his face had a half-smile, like a Rakshasa crawling out of hell, full of gloom.

"My enemies are still here."

Yan Shaohui nodded to show that he understood.

"By the way, I never asked you, do you know that there is a cabin in the woods on the edge of City C?"

Xiahou Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly behind his thick bangs, and his back stiffened unconsciously.

"What cabin?"

"Xiao Xin and I found a wooden house. This wooden house was originally built by the spies I planted in City C. There is also a tunnel in this wooden house that leads directly to City C."

Xiahou Shuo had just moved his mouth when Mu Xin came over and asked, "What are you guys whispering about? Can you tell me?"

"Yes, we are talking bad about you." Xiahou Shuo continued.

He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that he could finally get over this.

Mu Xin sneered and rolled his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to say anything good about me."

After saying that, Mu Xin pulled Yan Shaohui up and left.

Yan Shaohui followed Mu Xin back to the garage where the two of them lived. Mu Xin then asked Yan Shaohui if Xiahou Shuo was willing to go with them.

Yan Shaohui said that Xiahou Shuo didn't want to leave because of the old housekeeper and Ming Xiche.

After hearing this, Mu Xin sighed and said that it was just as he expected.

The next day, the two began to pack up.

The two of them didn't bring much stuff when they came, so they packed up very quickly. Xiahou Shuo leaned against the door frame of the garage door and looked at Mu Xin and Yan Shaohui.

"You're leaving so soon." The tone sounded like a sigh, revealing a hint of reluctance.

Mu Xin gave a wicked smile, "Why don't you come with us then?"

Xiahou Shuo then rolled his eyes at him and said, "Farewell, I despise you."

Yan Shaohui crossed his arms and looked at Xia Houshuo seriously, "So what will happen after everything is over? Have you thought about it? Where will you take the butler?"

"I don't know." Xiahou Shuo lowered his head and buried his face in his big cloak hood, so his expression could not be seen clearly.

"That's it, we've already made a plan. Be safe, be careful of Ming Xiche and Xiahou Yunjie, and wait for news from Xiao Xin and me."

Xia Houshuo took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I got it."

The three of them exchanged a few more words, and Xiahou Shuo wrapped his black cloak tighter, "Okay, let's go."

Mu Xin and Yan Shaohui looked at each other, then followed Xiahou Shuo silently.

The three of them walked carefully. In order not to attract other people's attention, Xiahou Shuo did not drive his own car, but asked the housekeeper to find a drivable car in the abandoned parking lot. After driving to the destination, Xiahou Shuo watched Yan Shaohui and Mu Xin get out of the car.

"I won't give it away."

Xiahou Shuo was wearing a black mask and his eyes were covered by the hood of his cloak, so his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Take care." All of Mu Xin's words turned into two words. As soon as his words came out, Xiahou Shuo's eyes turned red.

He didn't expect that the person he thought would be his lifelong enemy would turn out to be the only one who said "take care" to him.

How can we predict the unpredictable world?

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm leaving!" Then Xiahou Shuo drove away.

"From the sound, it seems that Xiahou Shuo is crying." Yan Shaohui looked at Mu Xin beside him, "Xiao Xin, you won't bring me a love rival, will you?"

Mu Xin rolled his eyes unceremoniously at Yan Shaohui's words, "Idiot!"

Even if Xiahou Shuo liked his housekeeper, it would be impossible for him to like him.

Mu Xin thought with certainty.

Yan Shaohui and Mu Xin took only a few steps when they discovered that the house where they had entered City C before should have been located two or three hundred meters away from them, but now it was in ruins.

Obviously, the house had been razed to the ground by a bulldozer.

"This..." Mu Xin looked at everything in front of him with some surprise.

Yan Shaohui was not too surprised. "It's foreseeable, isn't it? Ming Xiche has already seen me, which means he knows you are here too."

So, what should I do? A big question mark hung in Mu Xin's mind.

Since Ming Xiche knows about them, can they still get out?

In other words, why Ming Xiche already knew that they had sneaked into the Yagura base but had no intention of arresting them? Yan Shaohui was going to steal the secrets of the laboratory, but Ming Xiche abnormally sent Yan Shaohui back, although the method was very... unique.

There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Although Mu Xin didn't know why Ming Xiche did this, he could foresee that it was not a revelation of conscience. Instead, it was possible that the weasel was paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, and he had no good intentions.

Yan Shaohui walked into the ruins, wanting to see if the tunnel entrance was still there.

After searching for a long time, they did find the exit of the tunnel, but it was blocked by the beams of the house, leaving no gap at all.

With Yan Shaohui and Mu Xin's current abilities, it is not impossible for them to carry this long and thick beam away. However, the place where they are now is too open. If they want to move it, it will make a lot of noise and might attract people around.

Even though there is no one around now, Yan Shaohui dares to conclude that there may be many of Ming Xiche's people hiding in the empty houses around.

I just don't know if these people will suddenly rush out and take their lives. It's always better to be on guard, just in case.

Yan Shaohui put one hand behind his back, clenched his palm into a fist, and quietly gathered his special powers to deal with emergencies.

"Actually, there was no need for Xiahou Shuo to send us here secretly. Ming Xiche must have planted spies in the villa where Xiahou Shuo lived. He would know as soon as there was any movement. So no matter how we disguise ourselves, we will still be discovered." Yan Shaohui stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and said to Mu Xin.

"Does Ming Xiche really want to let us go now?" Mu Xin's face was full of disbelief.

According to common sense, shouldn't Ming Xiche be waiting outside Xiahou Shuo's villa with his guns and cannons, waiting to surround the two of them? Now Ming Xiche didn't react at all. If he said that Xiche really didn't know they were leaving, no one would believe it.

But if we knew they were going to leave and had no intention of blocking them, then why destroy the place?

"Ming Xiche is a person who is hard to figure out now." Yan Shaohui frowned and thought deeply. He was puzzled. What happened to Ming Xiche that not only changed his temperament, but also made his mind hard to guess?

"What should we do now? Go back to find Xiahou Shuo?" Mu Xin asked.

Yan Shaohui shook his head and said, "Let's keep our troops on hold for now." Yan Shaohui was now very curious about what Ming Xiche was up to.

They stood there and waited for about five or six minutes, and then a black SUV drove towards them.

Yan Shaohui heard the sound of the off-road vehicle's engine. Just as he was about to turn around and throw the thunder ball he had prepared at the oncoming person, he saw that the other party had parked the car opposite them. As soon as the car stopped, the people in the car got out.

Yan Shaohui narrowed his eyes, and his stern face was full of gloom.

"We meet again." Xiao Ran was wearing a blood-red dress with black flames exquisitely embroidered on the sleeves. The slim design showed off Xiao Ran's slender figure.

When Yan Shaohui saw the person coming, his expression became a little strange.

Mu Xin noticed the visitor's nervousness and looked at Yan Shaohui strangely. Then he said to Xiao Ran in confusion, "What do you mean we meet again?"

"Then you should ask the person next to you." Xiao Ran laughed strangely.

Mu Xin frowned, then looked at Yan Shaohui and asked, Yan Shaohui sighed and replied: "He is Xiao Ran."

Mu Xin understood immediately.

He had heard of Xiao Ran's name many times, both in his past life and in this life.

Whether it is Xiao Ran's personal experience or his love history, they are enough to make him the focus of attention.

In addition to being a traitor, Xiao Ran was also Yan Shaohui's lover. These two glittering labels made Mu Xin feel that Xiao Ran was an extraordinary person even though he had never actually met him.

The one who sent Yan Shaohui back before was Xiao Ran.

With such a stunning appearance, even Xiahou Shuo, whose appearance was intact, would be somewhat overshadowed when standing next to Xiao Ran.

Moreover, many people have said that Xiao Ran had been through life and death seven or eight times on the battlefield with Yan Shaohui, and could be regarded as a think tank. Moreover, if he had not been discovered to be an insider, he would probably have been promoted to major general soon.

Therefore, it was reasonable that Yan Shaohui fell in love with Xiao Ran at the beginning.

She has stunning looks, outstanding abilities, and is very charming.

Mu Xin was looking at Xiao Ran opposite him, and Xiao Ran was also looking at him.

Mu Xin has lived for more than thirty years in his two lives. He was not afraid of Xiao Ran looking him up and down. He turned his head to look at his lover and said, "You have met before at Xiahou Mingjie's place, right?"

"No." Yan Shaohui recalled the time when he saw Xiao Ran with various tubes inserted into his body, and then shook his head decisively.

I just saw him rashly, Xiao Ran didn't see me at all at that time, so it can't be said that they met.

Mu Xin raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much. He turned to look at Xiao Ran, "What did Ming Xiche ask you to do?"

Xiao Ran withdrew his gaze from Mu Xin. He turned his head and gave a look to the person who was following him. Then the person returned to the car, looking for something.

Mu Xin and Yan Shaohui's expressions tensed up, and they simultaneously adopted defensive postures.

Xiao Ran was amused by their actions, "Don't be so nervous. If I were to come and arrest you, I wouldn't bring only these few people with me."

One was the former military king and now the commander-in-chief of the First Base, and the other was a capable and now popular deputy commander of the First Base. Unless he was stupid, he would only bring two or three people and try to capture them.

Xiao Ran is not stupid. On the contrary, he is very good at assessing the situation. He understands the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy so that you can fight a hundred battles without defeat better than anyone else.

If he had not blindly believed in Yan Shaohui at the beginning, how could he have been tricked by Yan Shaohui and spent so many years in prison?

"Stop playing tricks, Xiao Ran." Yan Shaohui frowned and looked displeased at his ex-lover whose appearance remained unchanged after all these years.

He had long lost his love for Xiao Ran. If he didn't still have a little affection for him, he would have chosen to strangle him to death when he saw Xiao Ran again in Xiahou Yunjie's laboratory.

Because he knew that when he met Xiao Ran officially again, only one of them would be alive.

As soon as Yan Shaohui finished speaking, Xiao Ran's men came out of the car with a bright red envelope in their hands.
