The mocking look on Bai Qingqing’s face instantly changed and turned into fear and panic. Her voice trembled as she said: “You let me go, let go of…”
Xiao Yang saw Shen Mingxuan grabbing Bai Qingqing as soon as he came out of the room and his eyes locked on their hands. The man looked angry like a hungry spirit from hell and Qingqing was standing in front of him, shivering like a poor little sheep, obviously frightened.
Shen Mingxuan had always openly hated Bai Qingqing and had taken every single opportunity to target her all the way, never concealing his dislike and will to get rid of her. Xiao Yang was aware that if Brother Fu hadn’t used the fake sibling protection to guard her, Shen Mingxuan would really have killed her.
The truth was all team members previously hated Bai Qingqing but they had never thought of murdering her. After all, she was Bai Tiantian’s half-sister and they at least intended to bring her to a safe location before leaving her behind.
Shen Mingxuan had always said Bai Qingqing’s amnesia was fake and had tried to expose her to everyone for the scheming and disgusting vixen he believed she was. But whether she had really lost her memory or not, nobody particularly cared as long as she didn’t behave the way she did before.
Seeing Shen Mingxuan bullying Bai Qingqing, Xiao Yang immediately rushed over and punched him in the face.
“You bastard! Let go of Qingqing!”
Shen Mingxuan had not expected the second fool Xiao Yang would not see Bai Qingqing’s green tea and white lotus act and would be stupid enough to actually hit him.
With the strength of his punch, Shen Mingxuan staggered and Bai Qingqing fell as she was pulled along. Killing intent instantly appeared in the man’s eyes, the soaring anger made him unable to calm down and he also slammed his knuckles in Xiao Yang’s face.
Bai Qingqing wanted to stand up but as she noticed the others coming from the corner of her eyes, she immediately acted as she was too afraid to get up and her eyes filled with tears.
But without the use of their abilities, between Shen Mingxuan and Xiao Yang, who had the upper hand?
Shen Mingxuan had learned some martial arts but Xiao Yang had followed the children of the compound to practice hand combat skills and it was hard to guess who was stronger. The two of them punched each other fiercely, like fighters trapped in the ring, and the show was rather enjoyable.
Fu Chen was the first one to arrive and he saw Shen Minxuan and Xiao Yang beat each other up as Bai Qingqing was on the floor on the side, looking at them weakly and helplessly, trying to persuade them: “Don’t fight. Stop, don’t fight anymore.”
He first went to her, grabbed her arm, and pulled her up half in his embrace before coldly asking: “What is happening?”
Bai Qingqing noticed he hadn’t gone to stop the fight first but checked on her and something strange slashed in her heart. She showed a panicked expression and clung to his waist tightly: “Brother, it’s all my fault! They’re fighting because of me, you can beat and scold me but please don’t throw me away!”
She was shivering and looked pitiful, like a frightened little animal. Fu Chen stared at her with dark eyes and raised his hand to pat her back gently.
“Don’t think about it. Tell your brother what happened.”
Bai Qingqing lowered her eyelashes and softly answered: “Shen Mingxuan stopped me before I could enter the room and give Cheng Rui medicine. He grabbed my wrist and hurt me and Xiao Yang rushed over when he saw it.
She raised her pale face again and gave a small cry: “Brother, look, my wrist was about to break.”
Bai Qingqing’s skin would turn red after the slightest touch and Shen Mingxuan had used a lot of force. After squeezing so hard, red finger marks were clearly visible on her fair skin.
Fu Chen looked down for a few seconds and said: “Go get medicine first.”
Bai Qingqing nodded. Liang Zhiyu and Bai Tiantian were both watching the angry Shen Mingxuan and Xiao Yang fighting and they didn’t dare to separate them. Fu Chen let go of Bai Qingqing and walked to them; in an instant, he blocked the movements of the two at the same time and threw them aside.
His expression was somber and his voice was freezing cold: “If you want to fight, go out and kill zombies and think about why you’re fighting!”
“Brother Fu.”
“Captain.”
Xiao Yang’s and Shen Mingxuan’s handsome faces both looked embarrassed. Fu Chen stared at them and ordered: “It seems as if no one is listening to me anymore. You two go out and don’t come back before you find a level 2 core!”
The zombies inside of Huacheng were all low-level, they might not be able to find a level 2 core after hundreds of zombies. It was undoubtedly a severe punishment.
Liang Zhiyu said: “Captain, they are both injured. They should take some medicine before going out.”
Fu Chen pursed his thin lips and stayed silent. Shen Mingxuan and Xiao Yang glanced at each other nastily before humming coldly and going back to their room.
Bai Qingqing was a little worried about Xiao Yang and she took the medicine to go look for it. But before she could, she was called by Fu Chen: “Qingqing, come with me.”
Fu Chen’s face was dark and she knew she couldn’t escape the captain’s punishment either.
“Captain.” Bai Tiantian pleaded, “It’s not Qingqing’s fault.”
Fu Chen glanced at her, grabbed Bai Qingqing, and walked into his room, before slamming the door in a loud and violent noise.
Bai Tiantian looked anxious outside, she actually really liked her opinionated and smart sister and she was afraid Fu Chen would get angry with her. Before Liang Zhiyu went to deliver medicine to Shen Mingxuan and Xiao Yang, he told her: “Don’t worry, the captain will not hurt her.”
Bai Tiantian reluctantly replied: “I hope so.”
She was afraid of Fu Chen’s twisted personality. Every time she saw his dark face, her legs would feel weak.
***
Fu Chen dragged Bai Qingqing into the dimly lit bedroom and pressed her to sit on a stool before staring at her. Bai Qingqing knew that as long as two men fought over a woman, everybody would instinctively think it was her fault. Although she had deliberately provoked the conflict between Shen Mingxuan and Xiao Yang, she hoped Fu Chen would not blame her.
Seeing this incident, Fu Chen remembered how his men had beaten each other up over Bai Tiantian in his previous life. In the end, his team had been torn apart and they had all died for her.
Shen Mingxuan hated Bai Qingqing’s behavior before and was still prejudiced toward her even after amnesia. Xiao Yang had a crush on her and would naturally protect her, sooner or later, it had been expected the two grown men would break into a fight.
Fu Chen looked at his “sister” with a slightly complicated mood. Seeing her lowered head, obediently waiting to be scolded, the unhappiness in his eyes disappeared. He squatted down in front of her and held her white and slender hand, reaching out with his finger to touch the red and swollen wrist.
“Brother, it hurts.” Bai Qingqing said aggrievedly and tears fell on her delicate and fair face, making her look both innocent and very pitiful.
“Why didn’t you ask for medicine?” Fu Chen asked coldly.
Of course she hadn’t deliberately. She wanted to wait for Fu Chen to realize Shen Mingxuan had used strength and she answered in a soft tone: “Brother, you help me apply the cream.”
Fu Chen took the ointment and skillfully and very lightly rubbed her bruise. Bai Qingqing’s skin was very sensitive and any bruise looked terrifying on it; she could only be protected so she was never injured ever again.
Fu Chen kept applying the medicine and told her: “You will go out with me after that.”
“Where?” Bai Qingqing’s eyes brightened and she stared at him: “Are you going to take me to gather supplies?”
Now that her portable space was level 3, the inside was ten times larger than before and she had the room to stock up many more materials.
Those things she had grabbed at Jiang City were not enough and she wanted to find more food. She also wanted to get all kinds of military supplies and outdoor items. And if she found a pretty house, she could also consider placing it in the space too, for when she finally can enter the space in the future. She could turn her space into a vacation spot.
Fu Chen finished applying the medicine and took her out of the suite.
