Villain Boss Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Disregard
When Luo Rui received the news that the zombie wave was repelled by Si Xu, she went to the city wall to find Xie Chengzhi.
When the zombie wave came, she followed Shen Lang to make work arrangements in the military command building, while Xie Chengzhi followed the superhuman team to guard the city wall outside.
To the outsiders, they were held in high regard by Marshal Shen. During this zombie attack, even Shen Yang was fighting outside, so they naturally couldn't hide in the office.
Moreover, faced with a powerful enemy, retreating without fighting had never been their style.
Although she knew that Xie Chengzhi's ability had evolved to the fourth level, she couldn't help but worry while waiting in the office.
When she heard that the zombie wave had been repelled, she immediately found an excuse to come and look for her lover.
"Assistant Luo." Someone saw her and greeted her respectfully.
Luo Rui just nodded and continued walking forward.
"What’s with her snotty look?"
A woman behind her whispered sarcastically.
"She merely managed to suck up to Marshal Shen. She’s obviously a superhuman, but hid in the military command building during the battle. How disgusting."
"Shh, say no bad. It’ll be bad if she hears it."
"Humph, what’s there to be afraid of? She’s just a lackey of the Shen family. Does she really think of herself as someone important? The two legitimate young ladies of the Shen family have been busy on the battlefield this time. Is she more valuable than others?"
"Exactly. Besides, it was Professor Si's credit that the zombie wave was repelled this time. Marshal Shen himself was so scared that he hid in the office and dared not say a word. How embarrassing to mention it."
"Okay, that’s enough. Let's go. There are other wounded people over there."
The voices of discussion gradually faded away, but Luo Rui didn’t stop and her expression didn’t change, as if she didn't hear what those people were saying at all.
It was undeniable that those people were right.
In this battle to repel the zombie wave, Shen Lang made a very unwise decision.
As the person in charge of the base, he should at least show the courage and magnanimity that a leader should have.
Hiding in the office waiting for the battle to be over... After making such a decision, he should have thought about the kind of discussion that would follow.
She and Xie Chengzhi were both Shen Lang’s subordinates. In the coming days, there would be more and more discussions like today's.
She frowned and looked around, looking for Xie Chengzhi.
She had thought that since Shen Lang could become the person in charge of the base, he must have some outstanding qualities.
Now it seemed that although the old man had the aura of a person in a high position, when he was really faced with trouble, he revealed his eagerness for credit and cowardly side.
If they continued like this, they would even have trouble dealing with Si Xu, let alone take control of the base.
Was such a person really worth it for her and Xie Chengzhi to put everything on the line?
After looking around and not seeing any trace of Xie Chengzhi, Luo Rui decided to look in another place.
A young man was walking towards her with his team members. When he saw her, he arched his eyebrow slightly. "Luo Rui, why are you here?"
"Captain Xue?" Since joining the Shen family, her contact with Xue Weixin had gradually decreased. When they met now, they weren’t as close as before.
"Are you looking for someone?" Xue Weixin seemed not to notice Luo Rui's awkwardness and asked politely, "Are you looking for Chengzhi?"
"Yeah."
"He's over there." Xue Weixin pointed to the north city wall. "I saw him with Shen Yang when I came here just now."
"He’s with Captain Shen?" Luo Rui thanked him politely, "Then I'll go over. Thank you, Captain Xue."
"You're welcome."
Watching the girl leave, Qiao Qiao sneered. "I thought she was a good person, but now it seems that she isn’t that good, humph!"
Qiao Qiao had a straightforward temper. Xue Weixin glanced at her and smiled. "Why do you say that?"
"Since she followed the Shen family, she has never come back to see us," Qiao Qiao muttered. "When we met today, she didn't ask about our team—Sister Youzi was almost killed by her friend, and she didn't even care."
"Haha, it's understandable that people strive for higher positions." Xue Weixin didn't take Qiao Qiao's words to heart. "Judging from the current relationship between the Shen family and the laboratory, it's good that she doesn't get involved with us."
Speaking of the laboratory, Qiao Qiao immediately thought of that person. She held her hands to her chest, with a besotted look on her face. "Captain, Professor Si was so handsome today! This is the first time I know that water-type abilities can be so powerful when evolved to a high level!"
Xue Weixin never liked to say much about Si Xu.
Qiao Qiao continued, "When I find a boyfriend in the future, I must find one as awesome as Professor Si! He's so handsome! And makes one feel super safe! Boohoo, Captain, do you think I can ask Professor Si for an autograph? Will he beat me?"
"Qiao Qiao, don't even think about it. Professor Si has a girlfriend. Didn't you just meet her?"
"Qiao Qiao, I don't think you have any chance. Look at how beautiful Miss Jiang is. Even if Professor Si breaks up with her, he definitely won't date an underdeveloped kid like you, hahaha."
"Shut up! I'm so mad!"
"..."
Qiao Qiao’s lament attracted the team members' good-natured teasing, and Xue Weixin didn’t stop them.
Finally, he called out Qiao Qiao's name and asked her, "Where’s Qiao Yi now? Is he still in the slum area?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned when she heard this name suddenly, and shook her head. "I don't know. My brother hasn't contacted me for a long time."
Xue Weixin didn't ask any more questions, but was silent for a moment, and said, "Next time he contacts you, invite him to our apartment for a meal."
Without asking why, Qiao Qiao nodded. "Okay."
……
Following the direction pointed by Xue Weixin, Luo Rui found Xie Chengzhi on the north city wall.
However, Xie Chengzhi wasn’t the only person she spotted.
Opposite Xie Chengzhi was the captain of the second team, Shen Yang.
The devil-may-care Captain Shen had one arm raised, his face full of helplessness and impatience.
Beside him, the girl was concentrating on wrapping the bandage and finally tying a bow.
It was Jiang Ranran.
Luo Rui's breathing hitched.
Why was she here? The battle had just ended, and she, an ordinary person, appeared on the city wall and happened to meet Xie Chengzhi.
Was it a coincidence? Or was it intentional?
……
"It's done."
After bandaging the wound, Jiang Ran clapped her hands and looked up to see Luo Rui with a gloomy face.
"Eh?" She glanced at Xie Chengzhi who was talking to Shen Yang, and said with a half-smile, "Captain Xie, Deputy Captain Luo is here to see you."
She addressed Luo Rui the way she used to in the team before, but Xie Chengzhi felt that her tone was full of sarcasm.
He glanced at her coldly, then turned and looked behind him. "Ruirui."
Luo Rui's clenched fists loosened unnaturally. She forced a smile, walked up to Xie Chengzhi, greeted Shen Yang, and looked at Jiang Ran. "Ranran, it’s been a while. Are you a medical worker now?"
As if she didn't hear the probing in Luo Rui’s question, Jiang Ran patted the first aid kit on her back. "You guys chat. I still have work to do, so I shan't disturb you."
Finally, he was able to send this little ancestor away. Shen Yang glanced at the bow on his arm and said weakly, "Go, go, leave me alone."
"Eldest Brother, I tended to your wound. You’re so heartless."
Jiang Ran muttered, and in indignation, stepped hard on Shen Yang's foot. Seeing his face twisted with pain, she snorted with gratification, and walked away with her head held high.
She simply ignored Luo Rui.
"Wretched girl!" Shen Yang cursed with gritted teeth as he exercised his ankle. "Oh, what were we just talking about?"
