Chapter 473: You’re Afraid
Yun Huan obviously noticed Qin Mian sizing him up and sounding him out, but Yun Huan’s expression still remained unchanged.
However, this daughter-in-law was simply too hard to marry. This father-in-law and her two brothers were not easy to deal with.
At the moment, Yun Huan didn’t expect that the most troublesome people wouldn’t be the three of them but the mother-in-law, Sun Zhilan, who had always been so obedient.
They woke up too late and the little fella’s stomach definitely couldn’t take it anymore. Yun Huan never forgot how Qin Yi looked like in the past, back when she was malnourished.
Yun Huan took out a bag of bread and passed to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was indeed hungry, but something big was going to happen and she didn’t want to leave, so she nibbled on the bread.
“Uncle, what happened?” Yun Huan asked.
“The Base Chief’s family was found dead in their house this afternoon. The entire family of three died the same way. They all looked hideous, bleeding from the seven apertures of their head,” Qin Mian said gravely, wisdom hidden in his phoenix eyes.
Qin Yi took a bite of the bread, “So? Is the base in chaos right now?”
Qin Mian took a glance at Qin Yi. She was wearing a pink dress today and the light shade suited her very nicely. It was such a cute color, making her seem more elegant.
Qin Mian’s gaze was sinister, like he could see through a person, but Qin Yi appeared very calm, as if nothing had happened.
“No.”
The base was not in chaos. The people were merely shocked at the news, then everything returned to normal. The only thing they were afraid of was that murderer.
This type of mysterious murderer was quite terrifying.
But it must be said that the Lu Family had quite a bad relationship with the people in the base. In fact, the people at the base had enough of Lu Yuansheng and due to Lu Yuansheng, their impression of Chief Lu also got worse.
Qin Hanyu’s phoenix eyes darkened, then he looked at Qin Yi, and for some reason, the corners of his lips lifted slightly.
Qin Yi was done eating a slice of bread and took another slice as she commented, “As long as the base is not in chaos, everything is fine. We’ll have to choose another base chief though. You have a chance.”
Z-City Base was able to stay as a second-tier base after all these years due to the Qin Family. In this base, aside from the Qin Family, the other families were quite useless. Furthermore, the Qin Family had a good reputation at the base, so the position of base chief would definitely be Qin Mian’s.
“Dad,” Qin Hanyu called out, then looked at Qin Mian, who was deep in thought.
He knew of his father’s apprehensions. After all these years, their Qin Family could definitely replace Lu Boai, but his father was worried about their mom. With their mother in this state, there must always be someone by her side, and his father was afraid that once he got busy, there would inevitably be some areas that he couldn’t properly care for her.
“What’s there to think about? If you want to keep her happy for life, you need to stand at the top and make sure nobody dares to offend her. You did this very well in the past, didn’t you?” Qin Yi said coldly.
Qin Mian was stunned, then smiled bitterly, “Seems like I’ve really aged.”
He was old, so it was scarier. He was afraid that after he reached the top, his wife and children would have to face the storms with him.
However, he had forgotten his original intention—he wanted to live peacefully, but others wouldn’t allow that.
“You’re not old, you’re afraid,” Qin Yi replied.
The emotional knot in Qin Mian’s heart suddenly loosened up.
“No. I, Qin Mian, am not afraid.”
After the panic in his heart was gone, Qin Mian’s phoenix eyes turned resolute, the sleeping lion now awake. Although it had already reached mid-life, the arrogance in his heart did not lessen a bit.
