Chapter 971 Shen Rongyin Arrives
While Chi Shuyan still didn't have a good impression of Mother Shen, she didn't bear her ill will when she saw how Mother Shen defended her daughter. It was fine if Shen Rongyin was human, but she wasn't. It would be a disaster if she was allowed to remain in the military district.
She and Wei Xiao looked at each other. At that moment, Wei Xiao's face was very unsightly. When he saw Commander Lu's moved and hesitant expression in particular, he felt even more uneasy.
Chi Lingyan's eyes swept over Wei Xiao and then fell on his daughter, his expression unfathomable.
At that moment, Commander Lu suddenly said, "Okay, that's all for today. We'll talk about the rest when we get back!"
Wei Xiao panicked a little when he heard this. If he didn't get rid of Shen Rongyin and she was next door to his place, he would always be worried about his two sons at home, let alone be able to sleep. "Old Lu!"
Commander Lu frowned. He had naturally believed Old Wei's words at first. Ever since the living dead who bit people appeared, he had subconsciously become less skeptical about strange happenings. However, when he thought about it carefully, it wasn't very reliable to say that Shen Rongyin wasn't human.
He had been on good terms with Commissar Shen for so many years, and he had watched Shen Rongyin grow up. Unless Old Wei really had evidence, Shen Rongyin's reputation and character were all very good. At that moment, Commander Lu said, "Old Wei, do you have any evidence to prove that the daughter of the Shen family isn't human?"
Without waiting for Wei Xiao to speak, Commander Lu thought of the intelligence on the missing persons that Old Wei had given to him, and said, "There are many strange coincidences in this world. Apart from the missing persons, what else is there?"
Old Lu's words rendered Wei Xiao speechless. At that moment, Commissar Shen finally said, "Commander Wei, I also want to know what evidence you have to prove that my daughter isn't human. I've never offended your Wei family all these years."
Commissar Shen took a few glances at Chi Lingyan and his daughter as he spoke without much warmth in his eyes.
Wei Xiao was rendered speechless by Commander Lu and Commissar Shen. At that moment, Chi Shuyan suddenly said, "I don't know if the Shen family is innocent or not. Why don't we dig up the flowerbed first before we continue?"
Wei Xiao immediately nodded in agreement.
Commissar Shen and Mother Shen's faces didn't look good. It was naturally impossible for the couple to believe that there were human bones or bodies in the flowerbed behind their house. They also didn't believe that their daughter wasn't human.
Commissar Shen's face was cold as he suddenly said, "Old Wei, Chi, an old man like me won't argue with a little girl, but if there's nothing wrong with the flowerbed, what explanation will you give my Shen family and my daughter?"
Chi Lingyan said at that moment, "Commissar Shen, you trust your daughter, and I trust mine. When the time comes, you can handle the matter however you see fit."
"Including stripping you of your military status?"
"Okay!" Chi Lingyan's pupils contracted, but he quickly agreed.
Chi Shuyan blinked her eyes at her father. Did he trust her so much?
"Commander Wei, what about you?" Commissar Shen looked at Wei Xiao and asked.
Without waiting for Wei Xiao to speak, Mother Shen still objected. "Old Shen, why do you think they came here? Can't you see? They're deliberately targeting us!"
Mother Shen looked at the Chi father and daughter in disgust, and her repulsed gaze lingered on Chi Shuyan for a few seconds. Chi Shuyan pretended not to see it.
After Wei Xiao's agreement, Commissar Shen was about to let them dig up the flowerbed, when Shen Rongyin rushed in from outside. She walked over to Chi Lingyan's side with a heartbroken expression and looked at him pitifully. "Brother Chi, why?"
