Chapter 379: Chapter 389: Making an Enemy of the Living Yama

A slap was in the air, but Chen Huaying caught it mid-way.

"Hai Lan, try hitting someone and I can assure you, not even Hai Shen can save you," she humphed! Her brother had ordered her not to let anyone lay a finger on Sheng Ning.

Anyone who dared to touch him would be making an enemy of the Living Yama.

Making an enemy of the Living Yama meant making an enemy of the entire War Wolf Rescue Team.

"I won’t stoop to your level," Hai Lan said grandly as she let go, though in reality, she remembered her brother’s warning.

Humph! She, a daughter of wealth and privilege, was actually bullied by a country bumpkin of a girl. She would definitely have her revenge.

The squabble among the few drew an audience eager for a spectacle until Yang Wenying and Qiu Bai arrived with other teachers, finally bringing it to an end.

"Attention, at ease!"

Yang Wenying coldly surveyed everyone before starting to speak. "Today is the traditional ’Warmth Delivery’ activity of the General Union Song and Dance Troupe. Everyone will work in teams of three. I’ll now read the names of each group, and each group will go to their assigned place to carry out their duty."

"Yes!"

Yang Wenying read from the file, "Lu Xiaoshuang, Zhang Hongmei, Lu Li in one group. Zheng Meilin, Yang Xiaoman, Liu Yilan in another. Lu Dabao, Sheng Ning, Chen Huaying in the next. Hai Lan, Qin Cuifen..."

The groups called set off in queue to receive their assignments and the locations where they were responsible for delivering warmth.

When Sheng Ning saw the assignment for their group, he was dumbfounded. "Is this really considered delivering warmth?"

The General Union Courtyard! Had there been some mistake? Why would that place need ’warmth’?

Chen Huaying snatched the task assignment and immediately found it amusing.

"Ha ha ha... This is an easy task," she said, glancing at Sheng Ning. "You’re so out of touch you don’t even realize. What’s wrong with the General Union Courtyard? That’s where the old revolutionaries, those who’ve made significant contributions to the country, live. Don’t they deserve a visit?"

"Exactly!" Lu Dabao chimed in. "The grandma I talked about last time who sent me food lives in the General Union Courtyard."

Sheng Ning was speechless, so it turned out that this was all normal. What happened to the lonely and unsupported elderly they were supposed to help?

All the emotions he’d managed to build up dissipated in an instant.

Qin Cuifen was thrilled to be in the same group as Hai Lan, seeing a chance to flaunt her power.

However, Hai Lan suddenly clutched her stomach, crying out in pain, "Ow..."

"What’s the matter?" Yang Wenying asked with an unhappy frown.

"Commander, my stomach hurts. Can I take leave?" She absolutely loathed this tiresome ’Warmth Delivery’ activity, with all the old men and women constantly bragging about their glorious pasts.

She really had heard enough to grow calluses in her ears.

Yang Wenying had never held any expectations for Hai Lan; the bolder she was, the better. "Approved. You still haven’t submitted the self-criticism report from Director Su’s last punishment. Submit it this time and pin it to the notice board."

Hai Lan gritted her teeth, reluctantly agreeing, "Yes, Commander."

Inside the General Union Courtyard, Shen Feihu held a cup of tea while watching Mr. Su and Elder Hai play chess.

The two elderly men started arguing as soon as the game began. Su Huai’an, ever patient, poured tea and attended to them diligently.

"I say, elders, having a university professor serve you tea and water like this doesn’t seem right," Shen Feihu shouted teasingly.

"Shen, stop annoying us and get out," Mr. Su waved him off.

Elder Hai agreed, "Exactly, your presence fills the air with the stench of a scoundrel."
