Villain Boss Chapter 183
Translated by Digitalian (ko-fi)
Chapter 183: Beichen
The fate of the Yu family... How could he possibly forget? Shen Lang pursed his lips.
Indeed, he wasn't sure he could completely control Si Xu. If he wasn't careful, he might end up like the Yu family and be killed by Si Xu.
This was also why, despite having the opportunity to kill Jiang Ranran directly, he simply ordered A117 to knock her out.
The old man fell silent. Knowing his warning had worked, Shen Yang silently twitched his lips, a hint of irony.
The old man was always like this, headstrong and arbitrary. No matter what problem he faced, he would always resort to the simplest and most violent means he could think of to solve it.
Regardless of his feelings for Ranran, she was still his granddaughter. Even if for the sake of Shen Muxin, who was forced to death by the Shen family, he shouldn't have been so ruthless towards the girl.
At his age, instead of thinking about enjoying a comfortable retirement, or arranging a good life for his descendants, he was obsessed with plotting against them.
Grandpa was really getting more and more muddle-headed.
This time, no matter what the final outcome was, at least the old man should learn a lesson and reflect on his actions.
……
The dungeon wasn’t ventilated, and a long-accumulated musty odor filled the air as soon as the door was opened.
Xie Chengzhi turned on the lights in the corridor and searched room by room according to the information given by Shen Lang. Finally, he found Luo Rui in the dungeon at the end of the corridor.
"Ruirui..." It was hard to believe that the girl in front of him, covered in blood and with a haggard face, was Luo Rui. Xie Chengzhi called out her name in anguish, hurriedly opened the dungeon door, and ran to the girl in the corner. "Ruirui, how are you?"
He wanted to help her up carefully, but he didn't know where to start—she was covered in blood, and he couldn't see where her wound was. He was afraid of hurting her again by accident.
Sensing his hesitation, Luo Rui narrowed her eyes and said with a half-smile, "Chengzhi, are you thinking that I'm dirty now?"
Knowing that his hesitation just now had hurt his girlfriend, Xie Chengzhi no longer hesitated and hugged her tightly in his arms, saying sobbingly, "Sorry, I came late and caused you to suffer so much."
Her cold body fell into his warm embrace. Luo Rui closed her eyes and barely suppressed the sadness in her heart. "Chengzhi, did Marshal Shen ask you to come?"
"Yes." Xie Chengzhi's voice was a little hoarse, and he sniffled. "Knowing that I was looking for a way to save you, Marshal Shen arranged for someone to bring me here."
"I see." Luo Rui chuckled softly. "You’re finally here. I thought I wouldn’t get to see you before dying."
"Don't say that." Xie Chengzhi hugged her tightly and said firmly, "You’ll live a long life. We’ll grow old together, and nothing can make me let go of your hand."
After finding his girlfriend, Xie Chengzhi didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he carried her. "Ruirui, let's go out first."
"Chengzhi." As the guy carried her out, Luo Rui rested her cheek against his chest and whispered, "I'll never be able to walk again. What should I do?"
Xie Chengzhi paused, thinking he'd misheard. "What?"
"My hamstrings... were severed by Shen Yang." Recalling her ordeal, Luo Rui spoke calmly, as if discussing something unrelated. "In this lifetime, I'll never be able to stand up again or walk like a normal person again. I'll be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life... Chengzhi, will you despise me?"
Before she could finish, Xie Chengzhi hurriedly placed her on the steps, then squatted down and carefully lifted her calf.
The exposed ankle was covered in blood, and the blood had clotted. It was a gruesome sight at first glance.
Luo Rui's smile still played. "Chengzhi, will you despise me?"
He gently let go of her leg and carried her again.
"Fool." He gritted his teeth in pain and anger. "How could I possibly despise you?" Barely suppressing the surging hatred, he softly comforted her, "Don't worry. Even if you can't walk, I'll take care of you forever—I'll love and protect you forever, never leaving you."
A faint light finally appeared in Luo Rui's soulless eyes.
She clutched his shirt, her soft sobs quickly turning into a hoarse cry.
Sensing his girlfriend's grievance, Xie Chengzhi tightened his arms around her. "It's okay, Ruirui, it's okay now."
As they emerged from the dungeon, soft sunlight fell on the girl's face. Luo Rui's sobs ceased, her gaze scanning the surroundings before returning to Xie Chengzhi's face.
"Chengzhi, listen to me."
Xie Chengzhi stopped at her solemn tone and looked down at her.
"After what happened, you probably think like I do—Shen Lang is no match for Si Xu. There will soon be no place for us at Xiling base. Shen Lang came to see me in the dungeon yesterday, and he'll probably use the meeting today to deal with Si Xu..."
"I know," Xie Chengzhi said. "He told me to rescue you and then take his men to an ambush near the military command building and wait for his orders."
"It turns out that he already had such a plan..." Luo Rui sneered. "Chengzhi, don't go."
"Huh?" Don't go? But if they didn't go today, they'd be disobeying Marshal Shen's orders, and their path in Xiling base would be even more difficult in the future.
"Let's go back now, pack our things, and then..." Luo Rui glanced at the dark dungeon and said word by word, "Leave Xiling base."
"Leave Xiling base?" After thinking about it, Xie Chengzhi understood what she meant and hesitated. "If we leave now, where do you want to go?"
"To Beichen."
"Beichen? For Beichen base, I remember that the Huo family is in charge..." The Huo family of Beichen, relying on Beichen City to establish the Beichen base when the disaster broke out, was now one of the four major bases and its influence couldn’t be underestimated.
"Yeah, let's go to Beichen base." Luo Rui had her own plans. "Now there's a threat of a zombie tide. Small bases can't withstand the impact of a zombie tide. If we want to survive, we must first find a large base to settle down. Among the four existing bases, only Beichen base is closest to Xiling. Let's go there to settle down first."
"..."
That woman really flirted with everyone she met. How dirty!
Not wanting to stay in this filthy land for a second, Xie Chengzhi made a decisive decision and strode back with Luo Rui in his arms.
"Ruirui, let's leave Xiling and go to Beichen base!"
The world was so vast. He was sure that even if they left Xiling base, they would have a place to stay.
When he had accomplished something at Beichen base, he would definitely return to Xiling base and repay those people for all the insults he had suffered!
