Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1176 - 622: Modern Armament! (Part 4)

”You are soldiers, can you show some ambition! Be serious!”

”Haha, but it’s break time now, Uncle Ma!”

On the other side, the two people noticed by Xu Xin had already come together, whispering to each other with their heads lowered.

...

”It’s these two. I can’t read their minds, which means they’ve experienced time travel.”

Xu Xin pointed to the two people in the files.

”Them? How could it be...”

Wei Shishi murmured to herself, ”Uncle Ma...? And Brother Cui... how is this possible...”

It seems these two have a very good relationship with Wei Shishi, even calling them uncle and brother.

But it makes sense, if they were spies planted by Shishi’s side, getting close to her would be the first step.

”Are you... really not mistaken?”

Wei Shishi looked up at Xu Xin, ”This is not a joking matter. Ma Haoming can be said to be a founding member of the Wei Family, while Cui Chengjin is like the team’s... fun maker, he gets along well with everyone. If they really are... then it won’t be easy.”

Wei Shishi’s brows were already filled with pain and worry.

Even though she was asking Xu Xin if he was mistaken, she clearly already believed what Xu Xin had said.

After all, Xu Xin answered the question in her heart in front of her, proving he can truly read minds.

”I won’t be mistaken, those two definitely have issues.” Xu Xin nodded.

”Is that so...” Wei Shishi clenched her fist.

”Whimpering...”

Keke lay on the table looking at Wei Shishi, her little ears twitched, and the cute expression made Wei Shishi’s sorrowful gaze soften a bit, and her clenched fist relaxed.

At this moment, Xu Ying spoke up, ”Don’t forget, the most senior members of your Wei Family, they all betrayed.”

Wei Shishi’s body trembled, she gritted her teeth, slapped the table with a bang, stood up and glared at Xu Ying, ”Grandfather didn’t betray! He just wanted to revive my parents, what did he... he just...”

As she spoke, her eyes reddened.

She raised her hand to rub her eyes, then sat down: ”Sorry, I lost my composure.”

”Ah... it was my words that were out of line. I’m sorry.” Xu Ying hurriedly apologized, ”I won’t bring it up again.”

”But I want to bring it up.”

Xu Xin sat on a chair nearby, looking at the two women.

”What exactly happened here? Did the former patriarch of the Wei Family betray?” Xu Xin turned to Xu Ying, ”Earlier I heard from people’s thoughts that the Wei Family Patriarch was assassinated unexpectedly? Did you kill him? If you don’t tell me the truth, how can I help?”

”Me killed him? No, no...” Xu Ying hurriedly waved her hand, ”It wasn’t me. If it were, do you think I could still be talking to Shishi now?”

”So it was...”

”Grandfather, he committed suicide.” Wei Shishi suddenly spoke, ”Right in front of me, in front of us, he committed suicide.”

Suicide?

Xu Xin’s mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but ultimately kept quiet.

He seemed to understand why Xu Ying hadn’t told him about this matter.

This was a family affair, and so tragic, outsiders really shouldn’t spread it further.

Moreover, it didn’t seem like something very important, knowing or not knowing doesn’t affect the plan.

Having Wei Shishi explain it indeed seemed more appropriate.

Looking at Wei Shishi’s somewhat pale face, Xu Xin listened attentively.
