C312 Obstruction
Because it was Christmas and it was snowing, the whole of Zhong Hai was filled with the atmosphere of singing and laughing. Many people pretended to be Santa Claus, promoting their shops on the streets while others offered small gifts to attract customers.
When he saw Zhen Xiu, she was already waiting in the cold, wearing a purple fur collar and hat.
Yang Chen rolled down the window and shouted, "Zhen Xiu!" Only then did the little girl get into Yang Chen's car timidly. However, since he had never come into contact with a car before, he even took a while to open the door.
"Didn't you say it was 9 o'clock? I'm already here, why are you still standing here? Look at you, your nose is already red." Yang Chen said tenderly.
Zhen Xiu smiled brightly, "It's fine. I won't sleep late, and I don't have the habit of sleeping under the covers in the winter."
Yang Chen knew that the child had also grown up through hardships, so he didn't say much. He asked: "What kind of gifts do you think the children like?"
Zhen Xiu thought for a moment. "Let's buy some sweets. The ones worn in the orphanage aren't scarce, but they don't have much snacks. It's the right time for Christmas. Buy some sweet snacks and sweets. Children will like them."
Yang Chen naturally didn't have any objections. He really didn't know how to communicate with children. Last time when he went to the orphanage, he was left in the dust by the children. This was a good example.
Therefore, Yang Chen drove directly to the nearest department store and brought Zhen Xiu into the not so crowded shopping mall.
When he passed by the electronics store, Yang Chen held Zhen Xiu's hand.
Zhen Xiu felt her hand being held by Yang Chen, and her face reddened. "What's wrong with Brother Yang?"
Yang Chen didn't think too much about it. He just pulled Zhen Xiu to a counter that sold phones and said, "From now on, I can't always contact you at the place where you set up your stall. I'll give you a phone."
Without waiting for Zhen Xiu to refuse, Yang Chen said, "Today is Christmas, in a few days it will be New Year's. Consider it your brother's gift to my sister. Didn't you give me a platinum pendant last time? I want to give one to you too. Choose a style that you like and I'll handle it well.
Seeing that Yang Chen was about to get angry when he rejected her offer, Zhen Xiu was moved but did not reject it. She looked around and chose a small but cheap phone.
After all, this was an era where information technology was well-developed. It would only take less than half an hour to buy a phone and go through all sorts of procedures to get online.
Yang Chen was happy to see Zhen Xiu holding her life's first phone with a smile on her face.
Perhaps it was because he was born without his parents and grew up in adversity. Perhaps it was also because of the series of fates between the two, Yang Chen felt that his love for Zhen Xiu surprised him a little, as if this stubborn girl was really his sister.
"Brother Yang, can I call you in the future?" Zhen Xiu carefully closed the phone's lid. It was unknown if her face was blown by the heating, but she was blushing red as she asked Yang Chen.
Yang Chen smiled, "Of course you can. Otherwise, why would I buy it for you?"
"Any time?" Zhen Xiu asked in a low voice.
"That's right." Yang Chen nodded.
Zhen Xiu's bright eyes became crescent moons.
Originally, Yang Chen wanted to bring Zhen Xiu to buy a new set of clothes, but this time, Zhen Xiu stubbornly refused. Yang Chen was afraid that the little girl would really be ruthless and quit doing anything, so he stopped insisting.
By the time he finished buying candy and some small gifts, it was almost 11 a.m. Yang Chen put the two big bags in the trunk of the car and went with Zhen Xiu to the New Hope Orphanage.
When he arrived at the old orphanage again, Yang Chen saw that a small Christmas tree had been planted at the entrance of the yard. There were also stars, cloth dolls, and other decorations on the tree, making it look very beautiful. Neon lights hung from the doorframe, flashing with colors.
The pure white snow lay atop the old pine trees, the branches bent slightly under the pressure. On the walls of the house, some of the climbing tiger vines were also stained with snow. Although the leaves had already withered, it still gave off a special feeling.
Zhen Xiu got off the car and looked at the door of the orphanage that she hadn't seen in a long time. She walked for a while and her eyes lit up.
"Let's go in. Dean Chai will definitely be happy to see you." Yang Chen took two bags of gifts from the car and said to Zhen Xiu.
Zhen Xiu nodded, stubbornly took a big bag from Yang Chen's hands and carried it with both hands, "I will also take a bag with me. Brother Yang is very grateful that he accompanied me here. He can't keep asking you to do this for me."
Yang Chen felt helpless towards this girl's clear rules, so he let her do as she pleased.
The two of them walked up the stairs and were about to enter the orphanage, but they didn't expect that two tall and straight women in black suits with headphones on their heads suddenly blocked their way.
"I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to visit here for the time being," said one of the women with a ponytail coldly, without emotion.
Yang Chen frowned. The two women in front of him, if I'm not wrong, have the hostility of a military camp. They should be female soldiers who have received specialized training. However, they seemed to be the bodyguards of some important figure.
"We are here to see the children. This girl came out from this orphanage. We came back to see the dean and her brothers and sisters." Yang Chen knew that it was a job, so he didn't have any temper and wanted to talk it out.
The lady bodyguard with the ponytail glanced at the large plastic bag in their hands and shook her head, "You guys can come back another day or in the afternoon."
Zhen Xiu was a little disappointed. She peeked around the door and pulled Yang Chen's sleeves, "Forget it, Brother Yang. It should be some big shot inside. Let's come back another day."
"Another day or Christmas?" Yang Chen said.
"It's alright, it's better to be late …" Zhen Xiu said faintly.
Yang Chen said to the ponytailed bodyguard, "How about this, can I trouble you guys to go in and tell Dean Chai that Xu Zhenxiu is willing to see us."
Another female bodyguard with short hair seemed to find it funny, "Can't you understand? The reason I asked you to come in the afternoon or some other day is not because of whether the dean has seen you or not, but because you are not allowed to enter right now. "
On a good Christmas morning, the two people who wanted to visit the children in the orphanage were clear and fair. They didn't have a knife or machine gun, they rushed in, held onto candy in their hands, and politely asked them to let them know. In such a situation, even if the other party didn't allow him to, he would at least ask him about it. Furthermore, even if the leader of the central government were to visit him, there was no reason for him to do so!
Yang Chen did not look too good, "I'll say it one last time. I'll go in and ask around and say that Xu Zhenxiu is back. If you don't tell me, then don't blame me for doing something I don't like to do. "
The ponytailed bodyguard frowned but did not say anything. The short-haired female bodyguard seemed to have heard the joke and asked sarcastically, "Oh? What, you don't like it? Just do it. "
Yang Chen didn't say anything else and directly walked into the room.
When the two female bodyguards saw that Yang Chen wanted to enter openly, their faces turned cold. They both wanted to grab Yang Chen's hand and try to subdue Yang Chen by hooking onto his leg.
However, Yang Chen's hands and legs were like cast steel and cement. When they were hit by the two girls' martial arts, he did not move at all!
The two female bodyguards were immediately shocked. Their strength was not the same as the ordinary women's, it was something even the average male commando soldier in the army could not match. Under their legs, at least a hundred pounds of weight would be needed, and the pressure on their arms would be more than a hundred pounds of explosive force.
However, the weak spot on this man's body had endured a total of more than 400 pounds, yet there was no reaction at all! He was still going deeper in!
Danger!
The two girls immediately thought that he was a top-notch assassin, and that he had some ulterior motives towards the people inside!
Suddenly, the two female bodyguards pulled away and pulled out their guns from their pockets. The two guns aimed at Yang Chen's head from the left and right!
"Put down what you're holding, and hold your hands up high. Don't move!" the ponytail bodyguard shouted.
Yang Chen glanced at the two of them and then turned around to look at Zhen Xiu, who was still in shock.
"According to my habit, you should be dead by now. "But I really don't want to kill people in this place, and I don't want to kill you in front of this girl either. I'll count to three, if you don't take back your guns, I can only do what I don't want to do."
"Hmph. Do you think we're scared?" The short-haired bodyguard sneered, obviously not taking Yang Chen's words seriously.
Yang Chen sighed. Killing two silly female bodyguards in an orphanage in front of Zhen Xiu at Christmas was really unlucky.
As for what to do after killing him, that wasn't Yang Chen's concern. It wasn't about recklessness, but something that had some principles. He would first do it, then care about others.
However, just as Yang Chen was about to finish off the two female bodyguards, a clear female voice came from the nearby corridor.
"Stop! Little Wen and Little Li, what are you doing!? Put the gun down! "
A woman in a simple winter dress and a white cashmere scarf was walking in from that direction. Her smooth face had traces of age on it, but her dignified and beautiful appearance still made her look very attractive. The woman's hair was tied up high and clean, without a hint of gray in it. It should have been well-kept, and her gentle eyes, though reproachful, did not seem uncomfortable at all.
When Yang Chen saw this woman, he felt that she looked familiar. He didn't know where he had seen her before, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
"Lady, danger! Don't come over yet! " The ponytailed female bodyguard who was addressed as Xiao Wen said loudly.
The woman did not listen to them. "They are here to see the child, and they aren't holding weapons. What are you doing?"
Before the woman could finish her sentence, Dean Chai, who appeared to be elderly due to her old age, came up from behind and shouted excitedly, "Zhen Xiu? Is it Zhen Xiu? "
Zhen Xiu, who was standing at the door, was still trembling in fear. When she heard the familiar voice, she immediately ran up to Dean Chai without caring about anything else and threw herself into her arms.
"Are you still not going to put it down?" The woman asked the two female bodyguards in a slightly accusatory tone.
Xiao Wen and Xiao Li looked at each other embarrassedly before they put away the gun in their hands. However, they still looked at Yang Chen vigilantly.
