Chapter 799 – Do You Think I’m Cabbage?

After a few seconds of mutual silence, the woman reacted first.

Swish!

She raised her hand and aimed the gun at Ling Mo, but her gaze flickered towards Old Zheng and Wang Lin, frowning as she asked, “What’s going on?”

The moment she made this move, the atmosphere instantly became tense and standoffish.

Old Zheng was in a dilemma! The situation was indeed turning towards the worst direction. However, he still couldn’t figure out what Ling Mo was thinking. Even though a gun was pointed at him, Ling Mo only frowned slightly before quickly regaining his composure. This scene drove Old Zheng crazy; he really didn’t seem to mind!

While Ling Mo remained calm, Old Zheng had to start considering a rather serious issue: How should this be handled?

The woman didn’t even ask who these two people were; she immediately asked what was going on, essentially blocking their way of dodging the question. As for aiming the gun, it was a simple and direct way to show her stance: these two were intruders, and if they didn’t intend to take action, she would do it herself.

Too direct and too rude!

But in the end, she had the upper hand!

Additionally, the fact that she was a Niepan Member made Old Zheng feel a bit troubled.

He and Wang Lin were here to seek cooperation with Niepan, not to create conflicts.

Even if this man and woman were just ordinary Members, they couldn’t be treated lightly.

In fact, because of Wang Lin’s relationship, their attitude towards these two had already been quite casual, but that didn’t mean they could ignore the other’s reaction in such a situation!

As for the man, it could be ignored for now, but this woman was definitely not someone who would easily let things go.

She could compromise before, but now that she had found an excuse. She might make a fuss over it!

But on the other hand, Ling Mo couldn’t be offended easily either.

He wasn’t just Wang Lin’s Brother-in-law; he was also the key to capturing Falcon Second Camp!

Emotionally and rationally, Old Zheng couldn’t betray Ling Mo.

It was a dilemma! Such a dilemma!

Old Zheng’s mind was in a mess; wasn’t this adding to his troubles?!

Niepan had many branches, accommodating numerous superhumans, making it an extremely important force. But Falcon Second Camp had airborne capabilities, and for that reason alone, it couldn’t be abandoned…

“Ling Mo, oh Ling Mo, you’re putting me in a tough spot…”

Old Zheng sighed in despair. With great reluctance, he walked forward and subtly blocked the woman’s gun: “Miss He, this is actually a misunderstanding…”

“Misunderstanding?”

The woman showed no intention of lowering her gun. Instead, she stepped closer, the muzzle slightly shifting and continuing to aim at Ling Mo over Old Zheng’s shoulder. “A misunderstanding like this?”

“This is…”

Old Zheng said, somewhat helplessly, “Actually, we…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the woman suddenly froze and then exclaimed in surprise, “It’s you?”

“Nice to see you again,” Ling Mo smiled slightly and said.

Now it was Old Zheng and Wang Lin’s turn to be shocked. Did these two… know each other?!

“You…” Wang Lin’s eyes widened. She looked at Ling Mo inquisitively.

Ling Mo nodded, “We met the day before yesterday. I think she’s called He… He…”

He had barely started to remember her surname when his mind went blank.

Too much had happened in the past day and night. The minor conflict with this woman and the bet they had made were insignificant to Ling Mo.

When he heard the voice earlier, he had recognized her by her distinctively harsh tone, but it was limited to recognizing her as “someone I’ve met” and “she’s from Niepan”…

“He Hongyan!” the woman said, her tone becoming angry.

She actually couldn’t remember this man’s name either, but that was because he was just a newbie! Although his insolence had made He Hongyan remember his appearance, she needed to be this close to carefully look at him again to recognize him…

But the fact that he had forgotten her name irritated He Hongyan.

Even if he truly couldn’t remember, did he have to show it so blatantly?!

He Hongyan had always been strong-willed and had never lost face like this before.

Moreover, this was in front of the people from those Central Region Camp!

She even thought angrily that this man might be doing it on purpose…

Trying to humiliate her this way?

What infuriated her most was his demeanor!

Calm, with a faint smile, and a gaze that seemed so indifferent as he looked at her!

When most men saw her, their gazes were either filled with fear or lust. Those who had clashed with her would choose to ignore her or sneak a few glances from afar. Regardless of the reaction, at least there was a reaction when people saw her. But this young man? His gaze practically treated her no different from looking at a piece of cabbage!

“Tell me, why are you here?” He Hongyan’s tone took on an edge, and she briefly aimed the gun at Xu Shuhan, “Who is she?”

And with a cold snort, she added, “Don’t tell me you’re here on a mission. This is our Squad’s turf, and unless you were specifically looking for it, there’s no way you’d stumble here! Besides, it’s already nighttime. No survivor would be out at this hour, let alone come to a place like this!”

After she finished, she aggressively pointed the gun at Ling Mo’s head: “If you don’t give me a good reason, I’ll shoot you right now!”

Ling Mo shrugged and replied, “You’ve said everything already. Any explanation from me would just be an excuse…”

“So, you have nothing to say? Very well…” He Hongyan sneered.

“Let’s hear what he has to say first…” The man hesitated for a moment and then spoke up.

When he looked at Ling Mo, his expression didn’t show any overt hostility. Instead, there was a hint of persuasion when he spoke to He Hongyan.

He Hongyan raised an eyebrow and shot a sideways glance at him without replying.

The man added quietly, “After all, we’re all from Niepan…”

His voice was low, but in the quiet and enclosed corridor, it was clearly heard by everyone.

Old Zheng’s eyes widened instantly, and Wang Lin immediately looked up at Ling Mo.

Ling Mo, however, remained composed, much to the frustration of those watching.

Wang Lin had a ton of questions she wanted to ask, but she heard He Hongyan coldly sneer, “Him? A newbie? What can he amount to? He’s doomed to lose the bet with me, and whether he starves to death or gets shot by me here, it’s the same end. Daring to cause trouble on my turf? Who cares! And you, stop defending him!”

Wow, this arrogant? Wang Lin was instantly furious.

She didn’t dare to make a sound in front of Ling Mo, but this wretched woman dared to belittle him like he was nothing!

Then what about her? What position did that put her in?

Unbearable!

In her anger, Wang Lin forgot all of Old Zheng’s concerns and immediately said, “Who did you say you were going to kill?”

“Hmm?” He Hongyan was in the middle of her tirade but didn’t expect this girl to suddenly jump in.

She was slightly stunned, then impatiently said, “This is an internal issue.” The implication was clear: don’t meddle in our business…

“Oh, seems like you don’t know? This is also my family matter!” Wang Lin raised her chin and gave He Hongyan a casual, disdainful glance, speaking in a flat tone.

When it came to showing disdain, Wang Lin was at a master level. Her tone and demeanor perfectly embodied that of a pampered young lady. Though she didn’t say it outright, her every move silently declared her attitude: “I look down on you.”

He Hongyan instantly felt deeply belittled. Ling Mo’s indifferent gaze was already enough to disgust her, and now this little brat was even worse!

Family matter? What kind of relationship could they possibly have?

Most likely, she was just trying to suck up to them, eager to protect these two!

Otherwise, she was probably overestimating her worth, thinking she had any say in Niepan’s affairs…

“Oh? Seems like you two have quite the extraordinary relationship, huh?”

The more He Hongyan thought about it, the more furious she became. Her eyes darted between Wang Lin and Ling Mo, and her tone turned mocking: “In just a few minutes, you’ve already acknowledged kin. The world is indeed small…”

She didn’t say it outright, but her look clearly implied something…

Although Wang Lin was rebellious and flamboyant, she was still a young girl. After a slight pause, she immediately understood He Hongyan’s insinuation, and her face started to burn.

“You!”
