739: Strange (1)

Strange (1)

Mr. Chen frowned, "Ah-Che ah, what's going on outside?"1

This Yang Linhai was becoming more and more negligent of his duties. The previous Z-City issue had already made the people very dissatisfied, yet he still did not understand the situation he was in and continuously acted this way.

Yang Linhai always said that their family was against him, but he didn't bother reflecting on his deeds.

Chen Che was thirsty, drinking some water before turning to Old Mr. Chen.

"Nothing much, just a large number of Venus flytraps appearing outside the base. We just have to burn them."

Old Mr. Chen lived so many years and knew how to manipulate power for personal gains since he was young. When he heard what Chen Che said, he immediately felt that there was something wrong.

Why would there suddenly be venus flytraps outside of the base? One must know that in order to prevent the mutated plants from appearing around them, they had removed all the plants and even performed routine inspections from time to time.

The wise old Mr. Chen immediately said to Chen Che, "Ah-Che, go and take a look again tomorrow and remind Yang Linhai to be more alert. I think that something is about to happen."

Chen Che yawned, "Got it, Grandpa." 

When Mother Chen saw that Chen Che was really tired, her heart immediately ached. "Alright, alright, it's midnight. I'm glad that everything is fine. Quickly, go back and rest."

Old Mr. Chen shook his head and said, "What's happening, the good days are over."

With that, he wobbled back to the room on his walking stick.

Chen Che was in a daze. He knew that his grandfather was talking about Dr. Lin.

In fact, many people objected when Lin Hai invited Dr. Lin over, the Chen family being the first. Unfortunately, Yang Linhai used his power as the base chief and refused to listen, the same for Z-City.

Now, Capital base was basically isolated.

The next day, Chen Che woke up early. He remembered what the old man said and hurriedly rushed to the wall, but what he saw made him frown.

Those Venus flytraps that he thought would be gone had increased in number, and their vines were about to climb onto the wall.

Coincidentally, Yang Linhai also came to look at the situation.

As soon as he saw Chen Che, he smiled and greeted him, "Chen Che, is anything the matter? Why are you here so early?"

Chen Che didn't look so pleased, stating, "Base chief Yang, everyone at the base trusts you but you seem to have failed us. What's with the Venus flytraps outside? Not only is there no reduction in numbers, they have even increased."

Yang Linhai's face darkened when he heard what Chen Che said at the start, but when he heard the last part, he knitted his brows. "What's going on? They were completely burned last night! I saw it myself!"

Yang Linhai looked outside and he couldn't help but gasp when he saw the scene. Indeed, as Chen Che said, there were many venus flytraps, some even climbing up the city wall.

Yang Linhai's face was completely black. He felt that he had embarrassed himself in front of Chen Che. Just as he was about to defend himself, the deputy general, Yu Tao, ran over panting.

"Base chief Yang, this is bad, this is bad! the base is in trouble!" Yu Tao was so anxious that he didn't even see Chen Che there, immediately shouting at Yang Linhai the moment he arrived.

"Why are you panicking? Speak slowly!" Yang Linhai chided.

In the past, he didn't realize how useless Yu Tao was. Chen Che was still here, and his look of panic was simply embarrassing.

He was already at odds with this Chen Che from the start, and now he could even sense that Chen Che was laughing at him.
