Yun Yao was Enraged

"How's Chenchen?"

Yun Yao stumbled forward in tears and grabbed a doctor, asking helplessly, but the stunned doctor didn't respond after a long while. Yun Cheng stepped forward and grabbed her, "Sis, Chenchen is inside…"

Although he didn't have X-ray eyes, he had a very sensitive nose and could smell blood behind the closed door.

"Chenchen…"

Hearing this, Yun Yao rushed to the door immediately, standing on tiptoes and trying to look inside.

"Chenchen!"

Wang Suhua and Lu's mom also rushed over in tears. Chenchen was everyone's darling. If anything were to happen to him, the family would not be as jovial as before.

"Sis, let's go in."

Having a lower sense of awareness than others, Yun Cheng pulled his sister away and wanted to push the door open by force. Fortunately, Yun Yao managed to stop him in time, "Don't, Cheng. Uncle Zhan may be bandaging Chenchen, we can't just go in like this. Let's wait a while more…"

While talking, Yun Yao cried again. She felt upset whenever she thought of her son's face covered in blood. With Che and the others protecting him, Chenchen had never suffered even during doomsday, let alone gotten injured. Che would always do his best to give him whatever he wanted. Even when Yun Yao occasionally said something harsh to him, everyone would look at her with disapproving eyes. Now that her son had gotten injured the first day he went back to school, Yun Yao felt as though someone had stabbed her in the heart.

"Sis…don't cry, I'm here."

Yun Cheng didn't understand their reservations and had never liked coming into contact with strangers, but he still spread his arms to hug her after a moment of hesitation.

"Cheng…"

Her younger brother's action didn't manage to comfort her but made her cry even more sadly in his arms. With a frown on his face, Yun Cheng patted her back stiffly like how Leng Yehan and Yun Che usually coaxed him, "Be good, Sis, don't cry. I am here, I will protect you."

"Hah, so he's a dimwit."

Mrs. Chen, who had stopped bawling because of their sudden appearance, mumbled softly when she saw Yun Cheng talking in a childish manner. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to hear what she said, but there weren't just ordinary people present. Gu Mingxuan's face turned grave at once, "Who are you?"

There were tens of thousands of researchers in the research institute. It was impossible for him to recognize all of them and their family members.

No one noticed that the crying Yun Yao had stiffened her body and slowly withdrawn herself from Yun Cheng's arms. The arrogant Mrs. Chen was infuriated when she saw that Gu Mingxuan didn't even recognize her. However, after considering who he was, she didn't rush forward and hurl abuse like earlier on. Instead, she forced a smile and said, "You have a short memory, Vice-captain Gu. I'm the wife of Academician Chen Shibo, and my son Chen Youming is also a researcher of the institute. We…"

"Pah!"

There was a loud slap before she could complete her sentence. When everyone else recovered from their shock, they saw that Mrs. Chen's face was turned sideways after being slapped, and Yun Yao was standing in front of her with her hand still raised.

"You…how dare you slap me?"

Mrs. Chen had her hand on her face as she turned to look at Yun Yao stiffly, her face full of anger and her eyes filled with disbelief, but her burning cheeks were clearly telling her that she had indeed been slapped.

"So what if I slapped you? Cheng is not a dimwit. Don't let me hear that again or I'll rip out your tongue!"

Yun Yao withdraw her hand and stood tall in an imposing manner. Although she had taken charge of internal affairs and had never gone on any quests after arriving at the base, she had after all gone through hardships with Yun Che all the way from Huaicheng. How could she possibly be mild-tempered like before doomsday? She was usually gentle only because no one had tested her limits, but she definitely wouldn't put up with anyone mistreating her two younger brothers and son!

"You…you slut, I'm gonna fight it out with you!"

"Stop it!"

Mrs. Chen was trembling with anger and was about to rush up when Gu Mingxuan stepped forward, grabbing her hand and pushing her away. She would have fallen flat on her face if the people who came with her hadn't caught her. The woman who was carrying her son and hadn't gotten herself involved in the argument came forward swaying her hips.

"Vice-captain Gu, she's the one who got violent but you're still siding with her. Aren't you worried that we will complain to Captain Xing?"

The woman in her twenties wore light make-up. She was very beautiful and stood out during doomsday where most women didn't wear any makeup. However, she still paled in comparison with Yun Yao who was a natural beauty. Furthermore, Yun Che always provided her with water from the Space and all kinds of skin care products. Compared to before doomsday when her complexion was fair and smooth, Yun Yao had now gotten a healthy tan, which made her look even more attractive. The woman had found her an eyesore the very moment she saw her. Now that she had the opportunity to find fault with her, there was no way she would let her off easily.

"Who are you?"

After shooting a glance at her, Gu Mingxuan ignored her question and even put his arm around Yun Yao. He wanted them to know that Yun Yao was his woman, so they had better think twice before doing anything rash. However, he was after all a man and didn't know how terrifying a woman's jealousy was. The more protective he was towards Yun Yao, the more the woman hated her.

"My name is Xiao Biting. Chen Youming is my husband."

After handing the child in her arms to a younger man who had a slight resemblance to her, Xiao Biting folded her arms and looked up proudly, trying to look elegant. Even though she appeared to be more polite, she had the same snobbish face. While she was wary of Gu Mingxuan because of who he was, she had no regard for Yun Yao, thinking that the latter was just a nobody from either some superfunction squad or Chaoyang.

She wasn't alone, and everyone from their side also seemed to think the same way. This was understandable as they used to live in Section A and had never met Yun Che and the rest. After they moved here, Yun Che happened to have led the squad out and had come back only the day before. Even if they had seen Yun Yao visiting others, they would think that she was just a member of one of the squads. Therefore, they didn't figure out Yun Yao and Yun Cheng's identities even when Yun Cheng, who looked exactly like Yun Che, was present.

"Miss Xiao, you can go to our Chief by all means. He should be here soon, but before that, please explain to me why you are making a din and even fighting in the hospital? Even though Chaoyang is only a superfunction squad, we have our rules and no one can mess around here, regardless of who your husbands are!"

How was he going to manage Chaoyang if he allowed a woman to push him around? Although he usually didn't have time to bother about them, it didn't mean he would allow them to walk all over him.

Hearing his harsh words, Xiao Biting's face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes that had delicate makeup flashed with anger. Mrs. Chen saw the situation and quietly asked someone to go get help. All the men in their family were resting at home today, and she wanted to see how Gu Mingxuan was going to continue shielding the slut when their men got here.

One of the reasons why they were so snobbish was because they had previously been well provided for by the military, who couldn't be bothered about women's affairs. The wives of the military officials looked down on them and would never be friends with them. On top of that, because Xing Feng had wanted to get the research institute at all costs, they had the wrong impression that they were indispensable and thought that even Xing Feng had to show them some respect. As a result, all of them were arrogant and had their noses in the air.

Gu Mingxuan did see one of them leaving quietly, but he didn't plan to stop him. There was mockery in his eyes as he thought of how they had overestimated themselves. It was time for them to deal with the family members of the researchers.

"Why are we making a din? Why don't you ask the doctors and nurses here? My grandson barked his knee but they didn't care about him at all. Were we wrong to show our unhappiness?"

Thinking that she had everything well planned, Mrs. Chen stepped forward and pointed at the doctors and nurses, reproaching them and thinking that she hadn't done anything wrong. Gu Mingxuan took a glance at the little boy's knee and saw that it wasn't even red. Just when he was about to ask about it, a nurse with disheveled hair came forward and said indignantly, "Barked his knee? He's perfectly alright. Chenchen had blood all over his face at the time, shouldn't we save him first? You were too much to stop Dr. Zhan from treating him. Why should we give priority to someone who's okay?"

They were the doctors and nurses of Chaoyang Affiliated Hospital, and were also members of Chaoyang. Before these people came, everyone in the community was living in harmony, helping each other whenever they had time as they all knew life wasn't easy during doomsday. Although they couldn't go out to battle and collect supplies like the superfunction possessors, they would at least do whatever they could to lessen their burdens. But these people were all stuck-up just because either their husbands or children were researchers, and what they had just done could have killed Chenchen. Chenchen was such a lovely child, but he had already lost his voice from crying by the time he was sent here, which showed how serious his head injury was. Even they who had met Chenchen before felt upset, let alone Yun Yao and the gang.

"My grandson is okay? Why would I come here to be treated like a doormat if he's okay? How dare you compare my grandson with that fat kid?"

The furious Mrs. Chen dashed forward and raised her voice without realizing that the expressions of Gu Mingxuan, Yun Yao etc. had changed, or worse still…

"I do wanna know how superior your grandson is!"

A clear voice came from the sky, and a huge golden eagle landed in the yard along with a cooing sound. Yun Che and Xing Feng jumped down from it one after another. Yun Yao teared up when she saw them. Everyone from the hospital and the kindergarten got excited, and She Jiao didn't even bother about the wound on her face anymore. Mrs. Chen and her companions looked at Yun Che with a puzzled expression until they saw Xing Feng walking beside him. Coming to a sudden realization, they widened their eyes and their pupils contracted at once. They had heard about the chief of Chaoyang, Xing Feng, having a golden eagle as his pet, and the only person who could sit on the golden eagle with him had to be his lover of the same gender—Peak Squad's captain, Yun Che. There were also rumors that everyone from Peak Squad had good looks. Could they be the captains of Chaoyang and Peak—Xing Feng and Yun Che?
