Zeng Shan's expression changed instantly.

Then, like a gust of wind, he rushed into the house.

Luo Yan heard Zeng Shan shouting from inside soon after: "Dad, Mom, what's going on? Why are you marrying A Bao off?"

A moment later.

Luo Yan entered the house.

He saw a middle-aged couple.

The man was squatting in a corner, smoking incessantly.

The woman sighed and said, "Ah Shan, your father has been sick lately."

"Not only can he not work, but medicine and doctor visits, all of that costs money."

"We really have no choice."

"Coincidentally, Aunt Wang from next door introduced a young man."

"His conditions are good, and his uncle is the Bureau Chief of our local "Local Security Bureau"."

"Aunt Wang said his uncle is quite close with the Minister of Education."

"Perhaps, he can even arrange for Little Shuang and Little Xi to go to school."

Zeng Shan shook his head and said, "Then you can sacrifice A Bao's happiness?"

"Mom, I'll find a way to get the money."

"I'm a Reserve Mech Pilot now, and I get a 1000 work points subsidy every month."

"Isn't that enough to cover Dad's medical expenses?"

"As for Little Shuang and the two of them going to school, I'll find a way."

Just then.

A woman's voice called from outside the door: "Uncle Zeng, Aunt Zeng, congratulations, congratulations."

Mother Zeng quickly pulled her son aside: "Aunt Wang is here."

Luo Yan frowned.

He didn't like this kind of occasion.

But it was his first time visiting Zeng Shan's home.

Leaving now would be too disrespectful to Zeng Shan.

So he quietly walked to the corner.

And observed with cold eyes.

A woman in her forties, still dressed flamboyantly, walked in.

Several young men followed behind her.

The one walking at the very front was dressed extraordinarily, wearing a gold wristwatch, making him seem out of place with the Zeng family.

He was the epitome of ostentatious luxury.

The others behind her carried large and small bags.

They placed them on the table.

The middle-aged woman pulled Mother Zeng over and said, "Mom Zeng, look, this is Little Chen's token of appreciation, please accept it quickly."

Zeng Shan rushed forward and said, "My sister isn't getting married. Take your things back, my family doesn't care for them."

Mother Zeng quickly blocked her son and apologized to the middle-aged woman: "Aunt Wang, I'm sorry."

"This is my eldest son, he just returned from the academy and couldn't accept this matter for a moment, he was impulsive."

Aunt Wang said "Oh," and grinned, "Is this the son you mentioned who got into 'Hundred Battles Academy' and became a Reserve Mech Pilot?"

"He truly is a fine young man."

"But young man, don't think you've made it just because you're a Reserve Mech Pilot."

"Haven't you heard? So many students graduate from the academy every year, but does everyone become a Mech Pilot?"

Aunt Wang turned to the side of 'Little Chen' and said, "Our Little Chen is different. He has an uncle who's a Bureau Chief, and he arranged for him to join the 'Local Security Bureau' early on."

"He's already enjoying fifth-tier treatment, and he'll eventually sit in the Bureau Chief's position."

"His future is bright."

"If I were you, I'd quickly marry off my sister. Perhaps in the future, Little Chen, out of family ties, could even arrange a position for you in the Local Security Bureau."

The young man, whose full name was Chen Xinhou, shook his head: "Aunt Wang, please don't flatter me."

"I don't even know when I'll be able to sit in that Bureau Chief position."

"It's too early to say these things now."

He spoke humbly, but a hint of arrogance emanated from him.

It was as if the Bureau Chief position was within his grasp.

He then sized up Zeng Shan, "Furthermore, the Local Security Bureau isn't a place you can just get into through connections."

"Even if they're relatives, if their qualifications aren't up to par, they have no right to join."

Zeng Shan sneered, "Who wants to be your relative? Don't flatter yourself."

Aunt Wang pointed at Zeng Shan's nose and said, "What kind of way is that to talk, child? Little Chen likes your sister now."

"Your old Zeng family must have had their ancestral graves smoking with good fortune."

"If I had a daughter, this good thing wouldn't have fallen to you."

"Now that Little Chen's betrothal gifts have arrived, the girl will come with us first, and tomorrow Little Chen will send over the work points he promised you."

After speaking, Aunt Wang actually reached out to grab Zeng Shan's sister's hand.

Zeng Shan immediately grabbed Aunt Wang's wrist, "Let's see who dares to take A Bao away today!"

Chen Xinhou let out a cold laugh, "A bunch of poor beggars, actually thinking of yourselves as someone important?"

"Originally, I was thinking it would be nice to spend some money and play with a little flower."

"Now you're putting on airs of purity."

"You don't like the money?"

"Then I'll add another 1000 work points, or how about 2000?"

"You name your price."

"It's just a woman, I can't afford to play anymore?"

This finally enraged Zeng Shan.

He let out a roar and lunged forward.

With one punch, he sent Chen Xinhou flying out of the house.

"Ouch, he hit someone, what a disaster!"

Aunt Wang quickly ran out, shouting, "He hit someone, the Zeng family hit someone, quickly go call the 'Local Security Bureau'!"

Chen Xinhou was dizzy from the blow.

He finally came to his senses.

He touched his mouth.

His front teeth were gone.

He pointed at Zeng Shan and said sternly, "You just wait."

At this moment, he heard the sound of a siren outside.

He was overjoyed.

He sent someone to stop the car.

It was a 'Local Security Bureau' vehicle.

As expected.

Soon a team of security officers walked over.

The one in front.

Had a receding hairline and thick lips.

Chen Xinhou's eyes lit up when he saw him, "Uncle! It's me, Xinhou."

He hadn't expected to run into his uncle, the Bureau Chief, Chen Kang'an, here.

Chen Kang'an had received intelligence that a giant beast smuggling group that had escaped yesterday was lurking in his jurisdiction.

So he personally led a team out to patrol.

Just now, his car was suddenly stopped.

He heard that a student from 'Hundred Battles Academy' had assaulted someone.

So he came over.

But he ran into his nephew.

Seeing Chen Xinhou's face swollen on one side and a missing front tooth.

He immediately flew into a rage.

"Who hit him!"

Chen Kang'an shouted.

"I did it, and I'll take responsibility!"

Zeng Shan walked out and loudly admitted.

Chen Kang'an nodded and ordered, "Take him to the bureau."

Several security officers stepped forward.

Zeng Shan's parents were flustered.

They were just ordinary workers.

They had never seen such a scene before.

Instantly, they didn't know what to do.

Luo Yan, carrying 'Star Splitter', also walked out.

He frowned, wondering if he should call Little Li from the Exploration Corps.

To have him help resolve this matter.

Unexpectedly.

When Chen Kang'an saw Luo Yan.

His eyes lit up.

Yesterday's death match at 'Hundred Battles Academy'.

Because of his relationship with the Minister of Education, Lu Cheng.

He had benefited and also went to watch the match.

Luo Yan's performance at the time was exceptionally brilliant.

And Chen Kang'an had also heard.

Later, when the Luo family went to collect the body, they not only didn't make things difficult for Luo Yan, but they also told this student to recover well.

Coupled with Colonel Liang Jian of the Exploration Corps specifically requesting him.

Chen Kang'an sensed an unusual 'scent' from Luo Yan.

The scent of a benefactor!

Instantly.

Chen Kang'an pushed aside a few security officers.

Under the surprised gazes of his nephew and Aunt Wang.

He walked up to Luo Yan.

"Classmate Luo Yan, what are you doing here?"
