When Li Xinwen entered the living room, he saw Li Jinghua staring at Xue Jun. "Are you... Major General Xue from the 3rd Battalion?"
Li Xinwen heard the question and understood why Li Jinghua asked such a question. 'Xue Jun must be someone she knows from her days in the apocalypse.'
"That is indeed me. How did Miss Li hear of me?" Xue Jun asked in a polite tone.
"That," Li Jinghua was unable to answer immediately. The man in question himself was rummaging the body of the still unconscious Xue Liang on the couch while Xue Rui is glaring dagger at his second brother.
With his keen eyes, Li Xinwen could see that Xue Jun is putting small, button-sized device into each of Xue Liang's pockets. 'Are those what they called trackers? I've seen props from the original's memories... I wonder if I could steal some.'
While Li Jinghua was thinking of how to answer, Xue Liang decided to wake up at that time. Sensing this, Li Xinwen immediately went in front of Li Jinghua in a protective manner since he had already deemed Xue Liang as a dangerous person. 'Actually, I don't think we need his help at all...'
"Ugh... fuck..." Xue Liang let out a groan before he attempted to move. Only then did he realize that he was bound. "What the hell?! Who dares to tie up this ancestor?!" he asked out loud.
Li Xinwen narrowed his eyes and he was just about to go forward to teach Xue Liang another lesson when he saw Xue Jun move. He watched silently as the eldest of the triplets pulled his fists back before driving them towards Xue Liang's abdomen right in front of everyone.
Xue Liang doubled over in pain and let out series of coughs. "You bast--!" Xue Liang was about to curse out the person who hit him but stopped midway when he saw who the perpetrator was. "Ge... how come you're here?" Xue Liang asked nervously.
"Awake yet?" Xue Jun asked and Xue Liang nods his head. "Good. We'll leave now. You better be prepared for your punishment."
Xue Jun went over, wanting to pick Xue Liang up but then, Li Xinwen decided to speak up.
"Hold on. He broke into my room in the middle of the night. The door was broken... shouldn't I be compensated?" Li Xinwen asked. "At the very least, pay the repair fee for the door."
Xue Liang turned to Li Xinwen with a smile. "Now now, sweetheart. How about I give you a house instead and we can live together," by now, he already remembered where he was and why he was here, though he somehow could not believe himself being too clumsy to fall unconscious due to a fall. But since he was all tied up like this, he can only trust his memories. 'Still... why do I feel that my cheek is hurting badly?' he wondered.
"Nonsense! If anyone is giving him a house and live together with him, I'll be the one to do it!" Xue Rui interjected. He then proceeded to approach Li Xinwen but unfortunately, he only managed to go forward two steps when Xue Jun pulled him by the collar and threw him to the sofa beside Xue Liang.
"The two of you still dare to say things like giving him a house and living together after the mess the two of you had just made?" Xue Jun asked, eyes narrowing as he stared at his two brothers. "Ah'Liang, do you understand that what you did is against the law? Xiao Rui is also the same. You knew how Ah'Liang is and you still listened to him? Have the both of you gone crazy?"
"I..." Xue Rui was unable to say anything and could only lower his head. Meanwhile, Xue Liang only looked away, refusing to look at Xue Jun's way. His act of defiance made Xue Jun let out a heavy sigh.
Li Xinwen who is witnessing this little drama from the sidelines feels amused at the triplets' interaction. Li Jinghua on the other hand was feeling extremely confused to the point that she doesn't know how to cut into the conversation. There was still so much that she wanted to ask about Xue Jun but she can't find the right timing.
"This incident will be reported to grandfather. Just prepare yourself," Xue Jun simply said.
"And what makes you think grandfather care what I'm doing, Ge?" Xue Liang asked in a slightly mocking tone. "I've already done a lot that is against the law and grandfather never once did anything about it."
"..."
"Ge, I think you've forgotten about the fact that grandfather and I made a deal with each other. He let me do whatever I want, and I provide the military with weapons."
Xue Jun continued to stay quiet while Xue Liang continued to speak.
"So what if I fancy someone? So what if I decided to have a few male pe-"
BAM!
Xue Liang didn't get to finish because Xue Jun punched him right on the face. In fact, he punched Xue Liang in the same place where Li Xinwen had punched Xue Liang before.
'Luckily, he's already at the first stage of body transformation or else, he would've been deformed from our two punches,' Li Xinwen commented in his mind. Li Xinwen wanted to let out an amused chuckle when he saw something that made his eyes goes wide.
BAM!
Xue Liang received another punch from Xue Jun and Xue Rui who was just beside Xue Liang started to shake with fear.
"Bro... big bro..." Xue Rui called out to the eldest triplet only to close his eyes when Xue Jun once again, punched Xue Liang on the face. It was then followed by another punch.
Seeing this kind of scene, Li Xinwen's expression seemed to darken. Especially when he sensed that Li Jinghua became uncomfortable. So, when he saw that Xue Jun is not stopping even after delivering the fifth punch, he decided to interfere.
"Ah'Wen! Wait!" Li Jinghua saw her brother moving towards Xue Jun and can't help feeling panic rising up in her chest. She tried to reach out to Li Xinwen to stop him but Li Xinwen's movement was too quick for her.
Li Xinwen reached out and grabbed the male's fist while he raised up his other arm, placing them under Xue Jun's throat to keep the man from using force to get to Xue Liang. "Eldest Young Master Xue, I think that is enough," Li Xinwen said in a calm voice.
Xue Liang who had been pulverized by his eldest brother looked up to see Li Xinwen protecting him and he can't help the smile from forming on his face. "Baby, I knew it! You do care for me, ah!" Xue Liang said, not realizing that Xue Jun's eyes became even more dangerous after he said that.
Xue Rui on the other hand was surprised that Li Xinwen would dare to stop Xue Jun whose eyes seems to be filled with murderous intent. "Brother... please-"
"Why are you protecting him?" before Xue Rui could plead for Li Xinwen, Xue Jun opened his lips to ask Li Xinwen a question.
"In what way am I protecting him?" Li Xinwen asked. "I just feel that if I let you continue, you'll end up killing someone in my home. Young Master Xue, I don't care if you want to discipline your brother but can you please not do it in someone else's home?"
Xue Jun just stared at Li Xinwen for a while. He then took a deep breath before finally calming down. The fist on Li Xinwen's hold relaxed and Li Xinwen finally let him go. "Xiao Rui, go and bring Ah'Liang to the car first."
Xue Rui looked up at Xue Jun worriedly. After all that happened, the effect of the alcohol has completely disappeared from his system. "What about you?"
"I will stay and speak with Mr. Li and Miss Li about the compensation," Xue Jun replied.
"Can I not stay? If its compensation, then I'm willing to pay. After all, the root of the problem was me..." Xue Rui said with a tone full of guilt. His eyes went to steal a glance at Li Xinwen and it didn't escape Xue Jun's sharp eyes.
"You want to stay to talk about compensation or you want to look at him more?" Xue Jun asked and Xue Rui immediately looked down on the floor once more. "Xiao Rui, just listen to your big bro and go to the car with Ah'Liang. Go and calm yourself and then we'll talk more later."
When Li Xinwen and Li Jinghua heard this particular sentence, they both can't help but speak out in their heart.
'The one who needs to calm down is you! Lashing out in people's home... look at my poor family sofa, ah!'
Both siblings' eyes went to the sofa that has few stains of blood droplets.
