Chapter 221 The People We Protect
"Professor Zhong, welcome, welcome."

Leader Li only saw Zhong Shu and didn't see Shi Xia and Shan Yuancheng behind him at all.

The last bit of hope in Yamamoto Seiji's heart vanished, and that was fine too.

He loves Hai San Island. From now on, Hai San Island will be his home. He has his grandfather, his sister, his friends, and so many elders who truly care about him, as well as Big White, Little Flower, Little Eagle...

In his mind, Yamamoto counted every person and every animal on the three islands. Just thinking about them made him feel less sad and prevented him from shedding tears.

Shi Xia was the most perceptive of Shan Yuancheng's emotions; he was just a ten-year-old child.

Being smart simply means having a high IQ, not being devoid of emotions.

She touched Shan Yuancheng's head, and Shan Yuancheng looked up: I'm fine.

He has many fans.

Zhong Shu frowned subconsciously, shook hands perfunctorily, and then let go. Leader Li sensed something was wrong and saw Zhong Shu move away a second later.

"Professor Zhong, welcome, welcome, Xiao Zhi, this is the Professor Zhong you admire."

Yin Chenglan brought Li Zhi out.

Zhongshu happened to step aside, revealing Shan Yuancheng.

"Leader Li, do you remember you have another child?"

Upon hearing Zhong Shu's words, Yin Chenglan's pupils constricted, and she instinctively grabbed Li Zhi's shoulder.

"Mom, you're hurting me."

Yin Chenglan seemed not to hear, she just stared intently at Shan Yuancheng: How is he still alive?

At this moment, Leader Li also looked at Shan Yuancheng. He was excited at first, and then he frowned.

"Yuan Cheng, you finally decided to come back!"

Yamamoto stood tall, determined to look him in the eye; he was a man from the three islands of the sea.

"Why can't I come back? My mother is the legal wife."

In short, it was refreshing to listen to!

Good boy!
Leader Li, however, was filled with anger at being challenged, glaring at Shan Yuancheng and saying, "You're still so stubborn! You have no manners whatsoever."

Shan Yuancheng stepped forward, his small body showing no fear.

“My courtesy is reserved for polite people, not for someone who didn’t support me, and who, after five years of not seeing his own son, showed no concern other than cursing.”

"Also, I came here with Teacher Zhong today, so please be mindful of our manners, Leader Li."

Shi Xia couldn't hold back any longer.

A round of applause rang out, and Zhongshu glared at him: "You're always looking for trouble."

Shi Xia smiled and said, "I don't care, I'm happy to do it."

I'm practically a submarine hunter now, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant? Just tell me what's going on.

Leader Li looked at Shi Xia, not recognizing her, and didn't want to argue outside.

"Come in and talk."

His turning around first to admire Zhongshu does not mean he is afraid of Zhongshu.

Zhongshu and the other two followed. When Shi Xia passed Yin Chenglan, who had already adjusted her expression, she smiled and greeted her.

"Hi, wicked stepmother."

"How rude of you! Apologize to my mom!"

Li Zhi spoke first, but Yin Chenglan pretended to be innocent and stopped him.

"Xiao Zhi, no need."

"Tsk tsk tsk, who would have thought that a venomous snake could give birth to a non-venomous baby? How interesting."

Shi Xia glanced at Li Zhi and went inside.

A group of people came in.

Shi Xia pulled Shan Yuancheng to sit down, which earned her a rude rebuke from Leader Li.

Shi Xia poured herself some tea and drank it herself. Looking at Leader Li, she said, "If you don't know any other words, go and learn them. You're so rude and impolite. You have no originality at all."

"And another thing, with so much nonsense and such blind eyes, no wonder you can't manage a family."

Zhongshu felt his temples throbbing wildly.

Nobody said Shi Xia was so arrogant or had such a sharp tongue. Today's matter was already quite difficult, and now it's doubled in difficulty.

But then he remembered the information his superiors had given him: Shi Xia was trustworthy, she could go if she wanted, and they shouldn't control her.

With just three sentences, Zhongshu knew that this man was highly capable.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

Zhong Shu promptly stopped Shi Xia and Leader Li from arguing and explained the purpose of his visit.

"Leader Li, Shan Yuancheng is a future student I have my eye on. I'm here today to explain something. We'll leave after that."

"Yuan Cheng".

Yamamoto immediately stood up and bowed to Zhongshu to express his gratitude.

Zhongshu felt somewhat relieved; was this the right way?

Yamamoto Sei stood in the center of the living room.

"I'm here today only to say one thing: I didn't push Ms. Yin Chenglan when she was pregnant; she pretended to be pregnant herself."

"For this reason, I was kicked out of this place and had to live with my grandfather. But for five years, there were always people chasing after us. We couldn't find any work, barely had enough to eat, and were poorly clothed and had no shelter from the rain."

"All of this was given to me by Ms. Yin Chenglan."

Shan Yuancheng paused, Leader Li became suspicious, Li Zhi didn't believe him, and Yin Chenglan was putting on an act.

"What are you talking about? That's my child! How could I use my child to frame you? You're just a child, what threat could you pose to me?"

"I really tried my best to be a good stepmother."

Yin Chenglan is clearly a qualified green tea.

"I have no evidence to prove what I said, and I am not here to find evidence. I am just here to state this matter and tell you that I want to become Mr. Zhongshu's student."

"From now on, my honor and disgrace, rise and fall, will have nothing to do with the Li family."

After Shan Yuancheng finished speaking, Zhongshu took over the conversation.

“That’s right. From now on, Shan Yuancheng will be my student. My students are protected by the state. If Madam Yin has any more ulterior motives, I advise you to keep him safe.”

“We have no way of verifying what happened before, but I, Zhongshu, have one word: I believe my disciple.”

After Zhongshu finished speaking, he stood up and looked at Leader Li.

“Leader Li, you think I’m amazing? Well, let me tell you, Shan Yuancheng’s IQ is far higher than mine. You’ve missed out on a genius son, but it doesn’t matter, the country won’t miss out.”

The last sentence is a warning.

People protected by the state are not someone Yin Chenglan can interfere with.

Leader Li sat listlessly in his seat.

Whether there is evidence or not seems to be unimportant now. He looked at Yin Chenglan.

That was the first time I noticed the guilt on her face.

"It's really you."

With just four words, Leader Li's gaze towards Yin Chenglan changed, and Yin Chenglan panicked.

"It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it really wasn't me."

Unfortunately, the other party wouldn't listen, just like he wouldn't listen to Shan Yuancheng's explanation that it wasn't him who pushed Yin Chenglan.

With Zhong Shu and the other two leaving, and since there were no issues with Shan Yuancheng and Shi Xia's identities, the itinerary could be moved up.

Shi Xia only had time to tell Wen Cheng'an that she was going to see Shan Yuancheng off, but she didn't know where she was going, when she was leaving, or when she would return.

Wen Cheng'an has grown accustomed to these separations, and has the sweet burden of having a formidable wife.

"I will study hard here and then return to the team. I'll be waiting for you at home."

"it is good!"

Shi Xia left.

That noon, Shi Xia boarded the train.

After the train, I got off and took a bus, and then a truck.

After a bumpy ride, they also rode camels.

We arrived at a place where the landscape was covered in yellow sand.
