45: My father is trying to find a good future for your mother.

On the way here, An Qian had briefly explained her family's situation.

Her father was An Wenyan, who divorced her mother when she was three years old and became the Tang Family's son-in-law.

Since then, An Qian had only seen An Wenyan less than three times.

An Qian also had a half-sister, whom she was meeting for the first time now.

Tang Lanxin only focused on leading the way, not saying another word throughout.

Everyone quickly arrived in front of a villa on the east side of Meijing Haoting.

"You all wait here first, I'll go find my dad to come over." Tang Lanxin opened the door, let Qin Shi Lei and the others in, then turned and walked out.

After seeing the woman walk out, Zhang Xiaoli spoke, "Why didn't she just lead us directly to your dad? She isn't planning some trick, is she?"

"Let me see."

Qin Shi Lei walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and peered outside.

Not long after, Tang Lanxin returned with a very charismatic middle-aged man.

"An Qian, it's truly a blessing from the heavens that you're alright." As soon as An Wenyan opened the door, he ran to An Qian, excitedly wanting to hug his daughter.

An Qian dodged his embrace with a flash, and asked indifferently, "Where's my mom?"

An Wenyan's raised hands naturally rubbed his head, "She's very well. Come with me to see her."

He paused, then said to Tang Lanxin, "Xin'er, please help me entertain An Qian's friends."

Qin Shi Lei stepped forward and said calmly, "An Qian, I'll go with you."

An Wenyan turned his head and smiled, "Young man, you must be very tired from escorting An Qian back. Why don't you rest here first and let our family of three have some private time together."

An Qian turned to Qin Shi Lei and said, "You are my benefactors. I also want my mother to meet you. Let's go together."

An Wenyan smiled and said, "Alright, then let's go together."

Zhang Qiang stepped forward and said, "Since An Qian has found her family, we will take our leave now and visit again tomorrow."

After leaving his address, he turned and walked out with Xie Haimei.

An Wenyan led the three towards the villa in the middle of the villa area.

"Your mom is inside. Let's go in." An Wenyan pushed open the door and walked in first.

Qin Shi Lei grabbed An Qian, who was eager to go in, "There are people inside, many people."

"Haha!" A burly man in camouflage laughed loudly as he walked out, "Kid, your ears are quite sharp."

Following him were more than ten young people also in camouflage, each holding a weapon, and four of them were even carrying rifles.

"An Wenyan, where's my mom?" An Qian shouted into the house.

Tang Lanxin spoke, "Your mom is on the third floor of this villa. If you surrender, you'll see your mom very soon."

"An Wenyan, get out here! What did you do to my mom?" An Qian roared into the house.

"Xin'er, you two are sisters. Why hurt each other's feelings?"

An Wenyan walked out again, smiling, "Your mom is fine. It's just that someone has taken a liking to her, and hopes you can persuade her."

"You… shameless." An Qian pointed at An Wenyan and angrily denounced him, "She was once your wife, and you treat her like this."

An Wenyan said with a wronged expression, "I'm only doing this for her own good. In this apocalypse, for a weak woman like her to be sheltered by a strong person, that's her good fortune. It's better than being bitten to death by zombies or starving to death, right?"

Tang Lanxin giggled, "Hehe, my dad is securing a good future for his ex-wife. You should be grateful to him."

"Nonsense!"

An Qian said coldly, "My mom will be protected by me. You don't need to worry about it. Please hand over my mom."

An Wenyan said earnestly, "You know Tang Haotian, right? He is now the head of Apocalypse Home. It's him who has taken a liking to your mom. Only by following him can you survive in this apocalypse, and live very well."

"Tang Haotian?"

An Qian said disdainfully, "He's not much older than me. I can't believe he's this kind of person."

"Cao Thief? Married woman?"

These two terms suddenly popped into Qin Shi Lei's mind.

"Big Brother Haotian is a really good person. If he wasn't unwilling to force people, I would have already sent your mom to his bed."

Tang Lanxin pouted, defending her cousin.

Clang!

An Qian drew her long sword and pointed it at An Wenyan, saying in a deep voice, "Hand over my mom quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite."

"Hehe."

Tang Lanxin clapped her small hands, and smiled wickedly, "I've changed my mind. I'm going to send both you and your mother to Big Brother Haotian's bed. I'm sure he'd prefer a mother-daughter pair. Dad, what do you think?"

"You're shameless." An Qian never expected her half-sister to be so malicious at such a young age.

An Wenyan ignored An Qian's fiery gaze, "Good, that's very good. Both you and your mother can work together to capture Young Master Tang's heart. Then, in Ningan City, you'll have everything you wish for."

"Haha."

An Qian laughed in anger, "Aren't you afraid that I'll have Tang Haotian kill you then?"

"Uh."

An Wenyan's face suddenly became very ugly.

He was only focused on how to please Tang Haotian, but he forgot about this possibility.

Three days after the apocalypse, An Wenyan brought his ex-wife back to the Tang Group after enduring countless hardships.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they returned, they were fiercely attacked by his current wife and young daughter.

Just then, Tang Haotian passed by and immediately took a liking to his ex-wife.

"I like this woman, but I don't like to use force. You all figure it out." He left with just that sentence and walked away.

Before the apocalypse, An Wenyan could still hold a certain position in the Tang Group based on his business acumen.

After the apocalypse, he could only survive precariously by completely relying on Tang Haotian.

He had to try every means to please Tang Haotian to survive more decently, and even to get some crystals to make himself stronger.

Now, An Wenyan was in a difficult position.

Giving his daughter and ex-wife to Tang Haotian would surely please him. But just as An Qian said, the two women were the ones pleasing Tang Haotian. What if Tang Haotian really listened to them and killed him then?

"Dad, are you stupid? You're my dad. How could I let Big Brother Haotian kill you?"

Tang Lanxin glanced at her father, then turned and ordered the people around her, "Take them down."

Qin Shi Lei gently squeezed the hands of the two women.

"Go."

Phantom Silver Eyes.

Instant Step.

Qin Shi Lei used Phantom Silver Eyes to first control the furthest person with a gun, then rushed towards another burly man with a gun.

An Qian and Zhang Xiaoli simultaneously drew their swords and slashed at the other two burly men with guns.

"How bold! Everyone be careful, don't hurt the two beauties." The leading strong man reminded his subordinates.

"Ah!"

Three screams rang out simultaneously, and three rifles, along with three arms, fell to the ground.

The three bent down, scooped them up, and put the rifles into their rings.

Qin Shi Lei took another step, arriving beside the young man he had stunned.

His hand rose, and his sword fell, a head flew into the sky. The last rifle was also seized.

"Kill them! Don't hold back!" Seeing how fierce Qin Shi Lei and the other two were, the leading strong man immediately changed his strategy.

But in less than thirty seconds, everyone lay dead on the ground, their eyes wide open.

Qin Shi Lei looked up, but An Wenyan and his daughter were gone.
