Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 188 - 187: Want to Cut My Power? Did You Ask for My Permission? (2)
"Keep your brat in line."
"If he dares to pee or poop anywhere again, I’ll make sure his tools for the deed are useless."
Zhang Guilan was dumbstruck for two seconds.
After coming to her senses, she let out a sharp scream.
"Ah!! Murder!!"
She rushed over, hugging her crying grandson.
"The soldier is hitting people! Bullying orphans and widows!"
"There’s no justice!"
She leaped from the ground, her finger nearly poking Gu Yanshen’s nose.
"You little commander, you’ve really turned against us!"
"Do you know who I am?"
"My husband is Zhang Youcai! The new Vice Director of the logistics department!"
"He’s in charge of your food and drinks!"
The more Zhang Guilan spoke, the more she felt righteous.
Her spine straightened rigidly.
"Dare touch my grandson?"
"Believe it or not, I’ll have my husband cut off your family’s water!"
"Cut off your family’s electricity!"
"Make your family live in the dark, not even able to have a sip of hot water!"
Once these words came out.
The professors standing at the door had colorful expressions.
Cutting off electricity?
Professor Liu from the physics department stepped forward.
"Madam, are you threatening an active-duty military officer?"
"Threaten?"
Zhang Guilan sneered.
"I’m informing you!"
"Not just the Gu Family, even you bunch of poor relatives will suffer!"
Professor Liu was amused and angered.
"Such haughtiness."
"I’d like to see who dares to cut off my electricity in Beijing."
The laboratory at the institute was a national key protection unit.
Never mind cutting off electricity.
Even if the voltage were slightly unstable, the director of the power supply bureau would have to personally come and apologize.
Zhang Guilan knew none of this.
She only saw a withered old man in shabby Zhongshan suit challenging her.
"Bah!"
She spat on the ground.
"You old geezer! Acting all high and mighty with me?"
"At your age, not waiting to die at home, you come out to embarrass yourself!"
"Believe it or not, I’ll make sure you can’t even leave this compound!"
"You..."
Professor Liu was trembling with anger.
He was a recipient of the national first-class stipend.
A giant in the field of nuclear physics.
Even when the leaders met him, they were courteous.
He had never been called "old geezer" to his face.
"What? Not convinced?"
Zhang Guilan, hands on hips, her flesh shaking with rage.
"Not convinced, send your son to find me then?"
"Oh right, judging by your poor look, your son must also be someone who cleans latrines?"
Just when Professor Liu was about to faint from anger.
A cold female voice sounded.
"It’s Sister-in-law Zhang, right?"
Lin Wan Yi stepped out.
She wore a simple white blouse, her hair casually tied up.
Yet she exuded an air of nobility and elegance.
In sharp contrast with the bawling Zhang Guilan.
Lin Wan Yi walked to Professor Liu’s side.
Reaching out, she gently held the old man’s arm.
Then.
She raised her head, looking calmly at Zhang Guilan.
"Since Sister-in-law Zhang is so confident."
"Why not call Vice Director Zhang right now?"
Lin Wan Yi pointed at Professor Liu beside her.
"Just tell him."
"You want to cut off Elder Liu Chongshan’s electricity."
"And by the way, ask him."
"If cutting off the electricity for Liu who handles ’Project 596’ core data computation delays a national experiment."
"Whether his head is still on his shoulders."
Lin Wan Yi’s voice was not loud.
The tone could even be described as gentle.
Yet each word.
Felt like a heavy hammer.
Hitting Zhang Guilan’s mind fiercely.
Though Zhang Guilan lacked education.
She had mixed around the governmental compound for many years.
The name "Liu Chongshan," she seemed to have seen it on her husband’s documents.
And that "Project 596"...
It was a national secret!
Looking at that old man again.
Though dressed poorly.
The demeanor... the eyes...
Zhang Guilan felt a chill.
Her legs were a bit weak.
But still being stubborn.
"W-Who are you trying to scare?"
Stuttering, Zhang Guilan stepped back.
"Just claim any old man is a scientist?"
"Then I can claim I’m the Queen Mother!"
Lin Wan Yi smiled.
But the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Trying to scare you? Test it and find out."
"Gu Yanshen."
She turned her head.
"Call the security department."
"Say someone is attempting to disrupt the life of a national first-class protected individual, suspected of endangering national security."
"Tell them to bring guns."
The last three words.
Lin Wan Yi said casually.
Zhang Guilan’s face turned pale "刷", completely white.
Bring guns?
And accusing her of endangering national security?
This could get her shot!
She was just bossy at home.
Never seen such a spectacle.
"P-Please don’t call!"
Zhang Guilan backed down.
She was truly scared.
She grabbed her still-sniffling grandson Zhuangzhuang.
Abandoning the furniture on the ground.
"Umm... I’ve... I’ve got meat stewing in the pot!"
"Misunderstanding! It’s all just a misunderstanding!"
After speaking.
She scooped up her over one hundred-pound child and ran faster than a rabbit.
With a "bang," she slammed her own door shut loudly.
The courtyard finally quieted down.
The professors looked at each other, then simultaneously burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Xiao Lin, you really did it!"
"So satisfying! Really satisfying!"
Having seen off these troublesome figures.
Gu Yanshen and Lin Wan Yi returned indoors.
In the courtyard next door.
Zhang Guilan was crouched by the window, peeking through a slit, secretly watching outside.
Her heart was still pounding.
That damned girl, her gaze was terrifying.
But...
Her eyes roamed.
Falling on the row of shelves by the Gu Family courtyard wall.
It was still early spring.
Outside, the trees were only starting to bud.
Yet on the row of shelves at Gu Family, they were covered with bright red fruits!
Strawberries!
Each as big as a baby’s fist.
Deep red, vibrant and juicy.
Even from this distance.
Zhang Guilan seemed to smell their sweet fragrance.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The fear in her eyes slowly replaced by greed.
The grandson in her arms saw them too.
"Granny! I want to eat those red berries!"
"I want to eat!"
Zhang Guilan patted her grandson’s head.
Fixating on a few pots of premium strawberries nourished by the spiritual spring water.
"Don’t worry, dear grandson."
"Granny will definitely get you some."
"Such good stuff shouldn’t be wasted on those penniless old men."
"They are meant to nourish my grandson’s body."
