Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 655 Do you really think he has no temper?

At this moment, Chu Xin had already thrown a punch at the person rushing towards her. Hearing Zhou Yichen's words, she frowned and finally adjusted the angle slightly.

The other person was not young, so Chu Xin did not intend to kill him. She changed the angle of her fist and grazed the tip of the man's nose, just enough to keep a safe distance between them.

Chu Xin stopped, and Zhou Yichen arrived. Seeing that everyone was alright, he looked at Chu Xin and said directly, "He is Huo Baohua, the chief mechanical engineer from the arsenal. He came specifically to find out about Jia Zhenyan."

Huo Baohua, who was quite tall and had a decent build, nodded hurriedly, his eager smile making Chu Xin's eyelids twitch. "Then why are you coming at me?"

Before Zhou Yichen could explain, Huo Baohua spoke first, "I heard that you, comrade, also understand firearms design and modification. I have some questions I'd like to discuss with you."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but lean forward again.

She breathed a sigh of relief; at least she wasn't there to bother her. She was planning to use her status as the designer to put pressure on her, but she didn't intend to expose herself.

Chu Xin couldn't help but look disgusted. She even suspected that this person was not mentally sound. She was only 16 years old. How could this person so easily believe that she knew so much without having any doubts at all?

Also, this person is too impatient. Zhou Yichen only had time to deal with this matter yesterday afternoon, and this person came to the Special Branch first thing this morning.

This is completely unreasonable.

Zhou Yichen noticed her confusion and explained, "He has talked to Jia Zhenyan. They have discussed everything from car modification and Gatling gun modification to stun batons and gun design. Chief Engineer Huo is very interested in those forward-thinking ideas you mentioned before."

He's very engrossed in researching these things, and he gets quite excited when he encounters something bold and novel—no offense intended.

Huo Baohua nodded vigorously again, asking in an expectant and coaxing tone, "Yes, yes, I wonder if we could sit down and talk?"

Chu Xin understood, and upon looking at Jia Zhenyan again, she indeed found him to be somewhat listless, clearly indicating that he hadn't rested well.

Chu Xin twitched her lips, guessing that Chief Engineer Huo had come to talk to Jia Zhenyan all night after receiving the news.

Ignoring Huo Baohua's words, she turned to Chu Yunting and asked, "One of those three people was named Huo Tianci. What is his relationship with this Huo Baohua?"

"what?"

Chu Yunting was stunned for a moment, then realized that Chu Xin was talking about the person who was with Lu Shengying and Lu Shujing. Was his original name Huo Tianci?

He shook his head. "I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen this person before. I don't recall anyone like him in the military compound before. But this Huo Baohua is from the same family as Huo Cheng, whom you know."

The two didn't lower their voices intentionally. Huo Baohua was able to answer Chu Xin's questions on his own. He wanted to use this as an excuse to get closer, but Zhou Yichen grabbed his arm and frowned, so he had no choice but to behave himself.

"I am Huo Cheng's uncle. Huo Tianci is my cousin's son. You don't need to take him seriously. His father is a treacherous villain who climbed to power by stepping on his own family. He's not worth associating with."

So, Comrade Chu, are you ready to talk to me now?

Chu Xin was speechless.

So even when you hear the name of your own nephew Huo Cheng, you have no curiosity at all, and you only think about wanting to explore it in depth, right?

She was someone who disliked doing what others wanted, and the more impatient Huo Baohua was, the more she would find topics to prevent him from getting his way.

"Huo Cheng went to the countryside to avoid trouble? Then how come you're alright? Was Huo Tianci able to get into the arsenal because you, his uncle, pulled strings, or because his father had the power to buy him a job?"

She went to the countryside to seek refuge after a family tragedy. In the Red Flag Brigade, only Huo Cheng and Song Lingling were in similar circumstances to her.

At that time, she thought that Huo Cheng must have gone to the countryside to avoid trouble, but she never expected that he was forced to do so by his own family.

As for Song Lingling, she is clearly a love-struck, silly girl who is willing to suffer with Huo Cheng.

Alas, the world is in chaos, and people's hearts have turned bad.

Huo Baohua's expectant gaze turned to anger because of Chu Xin's words, though of course not directed at Chu Xin herself.

"Huo Tianci's affairs have nothing to do with me. I absolutely do not acknowledge him as my nephew!"

The other three: ...

Chu Yunting and Zhou Yichen knew the general situation, but they didn't want to reveal the other person's sad story in front of them, so neither of them spoke.

Huo Baohua's eyes turned red quickly after he shouted those words.

Upon seeing this, Chu Xin quickly took a step back. "No, I was just asking out of curiosity. Your crying has nothing to do with me!"

Huo Baohua roughly wiped his eyes and glared at the girl with the unpleasant mouth, "What, you forced me to recall sad things just now, and now you're afraid I'll blackmail you?"

Damn it! If I hadn't known that this little girl really had some skills and that's why I kept smiling at her, I would have taught her a lesson long ago. Do you really think she has no temper?
