Chapter 115: Chapter 114: Big Uncle’s Here? The Sourness of Eating Lemons

Dongfang Capital International Airport.

In the departure hall, at the exit waiting area.

Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue were holding a sign that read "Xia Qianjun," waiting by the side of the corridor.

This wasn’t Zhang Wei’s first time at the airport.

He had been there before to investigate the robbery at Wang Fugui Jewelry Store.

But at that time, he came with Xiao Baihe.

And today, he was with Xia Qianyue.

"Silly, I wonder what big uncle is like?"

"I don’t know either. Big brother went to join the War Department assessments when I was little. At first, he didn’t think he’d pass, and then he was gone..."

And then there was no "then." Xia Qianjun’s departure had been for ten years.

Xia Qianyue’s impression of her brother still lingered from childhood, following him around as they caught fish and loaches in the countryside or roughhoused with a group of kids on Sifang Gate Street.

However, whenever Xia Qianyue was bullied, it was Xia Qianjun who would step in to help, often incurring scolding from Li Qinghua as a result.

To Xia Qianyue, those memories seemed as if they had happened just yesterday.

"Silly, what time is he arriving?"

"Mom just mentioned in the afternoon, she didn’t say exactly when..."

"This..."

Hearing what Xia Qianyue said, Zhang Wei was rendered speechless.

The afternoon could stretch out quite long, were they going to wait here the whole afternoon?

At the same time.

On a plane that had just landed.

Quite a few people were slowly descending the stairs, dragging their suitcases behind them.

The most eye-catching among them were definitely the three men wearing camouflage jackets.

They all had buzz cuts, which gave them a somewhat refreshing appearance.

The one leading them was tall, at 1.9 meters, with a body made up of bulky muscles, looking every bit the bodybuilder.

The second one wasn’t short either, being over 1.8 meters tall, with well-proportioned features and a fresh-faced look, a proper handsome guy.

As for the third, he was quite a bit shorter than the second, though still of average height.

"Ah Qi, you see that, the girls nearby are all staring at us!" the tall man’s gaze swept the area, noticing an amusing fact.

"Give it a rest, they’re all looking at our Ah Jun. Haven’t you noticed that we’re always just the background whenever we encounter women on missions?"

The shorter man rolled his eyes, too lazy to respond any longer.

Though each had their distinct characteristics, they fell short compared to the one in the middle.

Especially when the three of them walked together, the man in the middle’s handsomeness was even more pronounced.

The best flowers still need green leaves for contrast, and they were those green leaves.

"You two, tone it down a bit, my sister is coming to pick us up today!"

The man in the middle sternly reminded them, maintaining an authoritative tone.

Hearing the man mention his sister, the shorter man immediately showed interest, "Ah Jun, isn’t your sister named Xia Qianyue? Counting the time, she must be about to graduate from college, right?"

The tall man also chirped in, "Ah Jun, according to your standards, your sister must be a great beauty, right? How about you introduce her to your buddy?"

"Yeah, yeah, it’s better to keep it in the family than to let an outsider benefit. After that, we won’t just be comrades-in-arms but real brothers!"

Hearing the shorter man’s remark, the tall man immediately objected, "Buzz off, Luo Qi, don’t you dare think about Ah Jun’s sister with your standards!"

After that, he quickly changed his tone and approached the man in the middle, "Ah Jun, I, Gao Yang, have never asked anyone for anything in my life. How about you introduce your sister to me, and I swear I’ll acknowledge you as my big brother from then on!"

"Just forget it, Gao Yang. Haven’t you pranked female operators every time we go on missions?"

"That’s just me being playful. Missions are serious business. Don’t I need to find some fun for myself? Have you ever seen me actually asking them out?"

"That’s because the rules don’t allow it. Otherwise, could you restrain yourself?"

"Luo Qi, you’re just looking for trouble, aren’t you? Come on, let’s go have a fight outside!"

"Gao Yang, you think I’d be afraid of you just because you’re tall?"

"Enough, you two!"

Seeing Gao Yang and Luo Qi bickering relentlessly, Xia Qianjun had to intervene.

His voice wasn’t loud, but it was loaded with an edge that made Gao Yang and Luo Qi feel the pressure, causing them to stop their squabbling.

"Ah Jun, we were just joking!"

"Yeah, yeah, it’s just that we’re finally getting transferred back from the front line, and to a big city like Dongfang Capital, so we got a little excited, that’s all."

Both Gao Yang and Luo Qi immediately changed their expressions, putting on a smiling face.

It was obvious that Xia Qianjun commanded considerable respect.

"Let’s go, my sister should be here!"

Hearing Xia Qianjun say this, Gao Yang and Luo Qi were even more excited.

Xia Qianjun was renowned as a major heartthrob in the entire War Department, so naturally, his sister wouldn’t be far behind in terms of looks.

Today, both of them were eager to seize the opportunity, hoping that with a bit of luck they might be able to call him brother by the end of the day.

Xia Qianjun and his two companions stepped out of the hallway, and then scanned the exit area, spotting a number of people who had come to pick up passengers.

As military personnel from the War Department, their observational skills were natural sharp, and they quickly spotted a sign with "Xia Qianjun" written on it in the crowd.

"Hey, hey, hey, that’s your sister there, she’s pretty good-looking!"

"What do you mean ’pretty good-looking’? That girl’s downright gorgeous!"

Gao Yang and Luo Qi were both excited upon spotting Xia Qianyue in the crowd with a sign.

They decided there and then, they absolutely had to acknowledge their big brother today.

But soon, they saw Xia Qianyue hand the sign to a guy next to her, and then the guy held the sign up for her.

"Fuck!"

The moment they saw the guy, both Gao Yang and Luo Qi blurted out curse words in unison.

All they had thought about was that Xia Qianjun had a sister. They hadn’t considered another fact.

In this day and age, which college student doesn’t have a love life?

It’s completely normal for a girl to bring her boyfriend along, right?

But they can’t really be blamed for forgetting such a thing. After all, they were from the War Department, which was almost like a real monastery—plenty of men, but few women, and most of the women worked in logistics and office positions.

In their years at the War Department, the women they had the most contact with were the mission liaisons or the clerical and medical staff they dealt with upon returning from missions.

Most of these positions were filled by married women looking for stability...

Young girls couldn’t stand the many rules at the War Department and generally wouldn’t join the logistics division.

"We’re screwed, who is that guy?"

"Ah Jun, you never mentioned your sister had a boyfriend?"

Gao Yang and Luo Qi, watching Xia Qianyue and the guy standing next to her, felt their hearts cut like knives.

It was just like winning 500 million in the lottery, only to find out that the numbers were from the previous draw.

"I didn’t know about this either!"

Xia Qianjun, however, wore a stunned expression and walked up to them expressionlessly.

...

"It’s weird, why do I feel murderous intent?"

Zhang Wei had just taken the sign from Xia Qianyue’s hand and held it up when he felt three sharp gazes lock onto him.

Looking in the direction of those gazes, he saw three men who clearly bore ill will.

Especially that look in their eyes, as if they wanted to kill him.

Were they assassins?

Enemies?

Or...

Zhang Wei’s mind raced, thinking about who would send three killers after him.

"Xiao Yue Yue?"

But soon, one of the three men, handsome and sunny, with a very refreshing appearance, called out Xia Qianyue’s nickname as soon as he spoke.

Only Xia Qianyue’s relatives knew this nickname.

And the only person who would call her by that nickname and appear at the airport at this time was one person.

"Big brother!"

Xia Qianyue, initially a bit puzzled to see her own kin, quickly let go of her doubts upon hearing this affectionate nickname.

After not seeing him for ten years, she found her big brother had matured a lot since then.

Which was normal, seeing as he went from being an 18-year-old teenager to a stable 28-year-old man.

In the crowd, Xia Qianyue and Xia Qianjun were reunited.

Simple-minded as she was, she looked at her brother with excitement and thrill.

And Xia Qianjun was sizing up his little sister.

The little brat who used to follow him around, insisting on learning to fight, had turned into a graceful young lady.

"It’s Xia Yue, I’m Gao Yang, your brother’s comrade-in-arms!"

"I’m Luo Qi, your brother’s best buddy!"

Gao Yang and Luo Qi, who were trailing behind, immediately came forward to greet them upon seeing the siblings recognize each other.

Looking at the "sweet and lovely" Xia Qianyue in front of them, they were itching with eagerness, almost writing "Since we’re so close to your brother, why not date us as well?" on their faces.

As for the guy behind, at a glance, he wasn’t any good. How dare he try to seduce Ah Jun’s sister; he should be humanely destroyed!

"Nice to meet you!" Xia Qianyue greeted them with a smile, then grabbed Zhang Wei who was beside her.

"Brother, let me introduce you, this is Zhang Wei."

"Uncle, nice to meet you!"

Zhang Wei immediately seized the opportunity, reaching out his hand to Xia Qianjun.

"Hmph!" Unfortunately, the latter had no intention of shaking hands at all.

"Hmph!"

Gao Yang and Luo Qi, upon hearing Zhang Wei call Xia Qianjun ’Uncle,’ immediately expressed their dissatisfaction with a snort.

"Brother, why are you like this? Zhang Wei went out of his way to come and pick you up with me, and you’re treating him like..."

Xia Qianyue saw Zhang Wei being bullied, immediately puckered her lips, and looked upset.

"Xiao Yue Yue, you..."

Gurgle gurgle...

Xia Qianjun wanted to say something, but the belly of Gao Yang next to him betrayed him by grumbling loudly.

Gurgle gurgle...

Soon after, Luo Qi’s stomach followed suit.

Xia Qianjun furrowed his brows, clearly displeased with his good brothers for interrupting his speech.

"Ay, we rushed to catch the plane yesterday afternoon, flew for almost 12 hours, and haven’t had a bite to eat!"

"I said we should order a meal on the plane, but you complained it was too expensive and the portions too small!"

Gao Yang tried to explain, which only annoyed Luo Qi further.

It was all because of you, a big guy who felt that it wouldn’t be filling enough and didn’t order, making them all go hungry as well.

Twelve hours without a meal, just a bit of water, how could they not be hungry.

"Then how about eating something at the airport?"

Gao Yang looked around and suggested.

"Aren’t the things at the airport even more expensive?"

Luo Qi instantly retorted, somewhat irritated.

"How about this, come to my place and eat, I’ve bought groceries; I’ll cook for you myself to welcome and refresh you."

All of a sudden, Zhang Wei made a suggestion.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qianyue pulled Zhang Wei over, "Zhang Wei, how could we impose, why not go to my place instead?"

"Silly, have you had dinner at home?"

"Yeah, I did..."

"Are you planning to serve my uncle leftovers?"

Zhang Wei said, pointing at Gao Yang and Luo Qi, "Besides, this time it’s not just one mouth but three, and look at this tall guy here, will the leftovers at your place be enough?"

"It seems, really not enough huh..."

Xia Qianyue had no other choice, if it was just Xia Qianjun it might have been fine, but with Gao Yang and Luo Qi, there definitely wouldn’t be enough food.

Mainly because they came to pick her up in the afternoon and hadn’t considered that the three of them hadn’t eaten and were still hungry.

In the end, Xia Qianyue agreed to let the three of them go to Zhang Wei’s place to eat.

"Eating at this kid’s place, what’s that all about?"

"Yeah, this kid’s unrelated to you, he’s being unnecessarily attentive!"

For Gao Yang and Luo Qi, they naturally found it hard to look at Zhang Wei favorably.

Seeing their suspicion, Xia Qianjun seemed much more composed.

"Let’s go and see, it’s also a good opportunity to test this kid out!"

The group of five could only take the subway to Lin Mansion.

Thankfully, it was afternoon and not rush hour, so they quickly arrived at Sifang Gate Street.

"Good heavens, Dongfang Capital, such a big city, actually has a place like this?"

Looking at the courtyards along Sifang Gate Street, the sense of a bygone era struck Gao Yang and Luo Qi with amazement.

"Each of these courtyards is at least a thousand square meters, given the property prices in Dongfang Capital, they must not be cheap, right?"

"Of course, each worth hundreds of millions!"

Zhang Wei, walking ahead and talking with Xia Qianyue, replied upon hearing their comment.

"Hundreds of millions!"

The three at the back exchanged looks; the figure was somewhat frightening.

Although they had been on missions and seen a lot of money, it was all laundered money abroad, untouchable by them.

A hundred million, for them, was indeed an astronomical figure.

"We’re here!"

Zhang Wei skillfully opened the door to Lin Mansion, ready to welcome the three uncles inside.

"Zhang Wei, you’re back?"

But as he saw the person inside, his expression suddenly stiffened.

There stood a blonde, blue-eyed beauty, dressed in a casual white sportswear outfit, holding a broom in the courtyard.

Seeing Zhang Wei, she lifted her hand, her fingers tapping as if playing a piano, and smilingly greeted him.

This was none other than Dr. Jessica.

"Humph, that guy, finally back, huh? I didn’t expect I would have to clean the rooms myself!"

In the house, Zhao Xiaoxiao came out with a mop, utterly disgruntled.

She was supposed to help her clean today, but Zhang Wei had disappeared, and the room remained untidy.

In the end, Zhao Xiaoxiao had no choice but to clean with Jessica.

"Women, I hear women’s voices!"

"I thought I was hearing things, are there really women in the house?"

Just then, Xia Qianjun and his two friends walked in.

"Holy shit!"

Immediately afterward, they spotted Zhao Xiaoxiao and Jessica busying themselves in the courtyard.

"You sly dog, hiding your beauties in a golden house!"

"Nope, he’s not hiding them at all; these two women are right here in the yard!"

Gao Yang and Luo Qi suddenly thought of many possibilities, but what they hadn’t considered was that Zhang Wei was bold enough to keep two delicate women at his residence.

One with golden hair and blue eyes, voluptuous and sexy, the other petite and pretty, with a proud and charming demeanor.

Gao Yang and Luo Qi exchanged glances and read shock, confusion, and naked jealousy in each other’s eyes...

Why?

This guy looks so ordinary, how could he know such women?

While they could only mingle with a bunch of burly men at the War Department.

Sour!

The tartness of a mouthful of lemon...

"Zhang Wei, and little sister Xiaoyue, these three are..."

Jessica approached with a cheerful smile, her blue eyes turning towards Xia Qianjun and his companions.

"Oh, let me introduce them: this is Silly’s brother, Xia Qianjun, and the other two are his comrades-in-arms, Gao Yang and Luo Qi!"

Zhang Wei pointed to the three men, introducing them one by one.

"Hello!"

Jessica greeted the three with a smile.

"Hello to you too..."

Gao Yang and Luo Qi were gaping at Jessica; their eyes were glued to her.

Who could understand the agony of not having touched a woman in ten years...

"Come on in; I’ll go cook in the kitchen!"

Zhang Wei said, inviting Xia Qianjun and his two friends into the Lin Mansion, then headed straight for the kitchen.

"Zhang Wei, let me help you!"

Jessica quickly followed into the kitchen, and the two of them got busy there.

Inside the hall.

Zhao Xiaoxiao and Xia Qianyue sat together chatting,

Xia Qianjun, on the other hand, was looking at Zhao Xiaoxiao, then towards the kitchen, deep in thought.

He was pondering what the relationship between Zhang Wei and his sister was and what relation he had with the other two women in the house.

It wasn’t possible for him to be dating his sister and outrageously flirting with two other women at the same time, right?

No man could be that despicable, could he...?

Xia Qianjun was losing confidence; although he had tackled many missions, he had never dealt with matters of the heart.

As for Gao Yang and Luo Qi at his side, they, too, wanted to say something but found it hard to speak.

"Little sister, come here a moment!"

Xia Qianjun quickly called out, summoning Xia Qianyue over, then gestured towards Zhao Xiaoxiao and the kitchen.

"What’s the situation with those two, and what’s Zhang Wei’s relationship with these women?"

"Oh, are you talking about Dr. Jessica and Xiaoxiao? One is Zhang Wei’s psychologist, and the other is Uncle Zhao’s daughter. Uncle Zhao is a programmer and often isn’t home, so she stays here with Zhang Wei."

"They live together?"

"Not at all, they live separately upstairs and downstairs. Zhang Wei’s room is inside, and Xiaoxiao’s room is on the second floor."

Facing Xia Qianjun’s questioning, Xia Qianyue was very calm, not surprised at all.

"This guy knows two other women besides you, and he has a close relationship with them?"

"Not really..."

Xia Qianyue waved her hand dismissively, then muttered, "Zhang Wei also knows Baihe and Yuzhu, and they have a good relationship with him too, don’t they?"

"Two more!" Upon hearing this, Xia Qianjun fell silent.

Gao Yang and Luo Qi, on the other hand, exchanged looks.

At that moment, they were thinking, are men nowadays this impressive, maintaining friendly relations with four or five women?

And Xia Qianyue isn’t jealous, not one bit?

Xia Qianjun stared at his sister for a long time, eventually realizing that she truly had little opposition to it.

He couldn’t figure out what kind of love potion that Zhang Wei kid had fed his sister!

All in all, Xia Qianjun was not pleased.

Meanwhile, Gao Yang and Luo Qi were tasting the sourness in their mouths again.

Look at him, then look at us; all these years, we might as well have turned into dogs.

They hadn’t eaten lemons, but why did their mouths taste so sour?

They resolved to find an opportunity to give that kid a good thrashing.
