Chi Shuyan also saw her father at that moment. She got up and hurriedly called out to him. Without waiting for him to ask, Chi Shuyan explained, “Dad, I heard that something happened at Aunt Shen’s house. I was worried about her, so I came to see her!”

Except for Chi Lingyan, everyone else, including Commissar Shen, believed her. Commissar Shen also knew that his daughter had gotten quite close to Chi Lingyan’s daughter recently. The two of them had a good relations.h.i.+p, so it made sense for her to come over. He said to Chi Shuyan with a sigh, “Good child, thank you!” Then, he said to Chi Lingyan, “Lingyan, your daughter has been raised so well!”

Chi Lingyan: …

Shen Rongyin also took the initiative to say at that moment, “Brother Chi, Yan Yan was really worried about me. Don’t blame her!”

When Chi Lingyan’s comrades on the side heard the words “Brother Chi,” they all gave him meaningful looks. However, this wasn’t the time to tease him.

Chi Lingyan was still a bit worried about his daughter and didn’t want her to interfere in this matter. It was too urgent and too dangerous. Thinking of Chen Jing’s sudden death last night, he wondered if that thing had entered the military district and was hiding somewhere. He was worried about leaving his daughter alone at home, and even more worried about her going out. He made up his mind to get Old Wei’s wife to help take care of his daughter for the next few days!

It wasn’t good for Chi Shuyan to stay at the Shen residence for long, so she left with her father. However, Chi Lingyan still had official business to attend to, and it wouldn’t be good to bring his daughter along.

Chi Lingyan’s comrades were very curious about his daughter. She was young and beautiful. If it wasn’t for the fact that the timing wasn’t right, they would have suggested acting as matchmakers.

One of them said, “Old Chi, you hid such a beautiful daughter. Are you afraid that some rascal will pick her up?”

One of them suddenly said, “Old Chi, I didn’t expect you to be so lucky with women! Does that daughter of the Shen family really like you?”

His daughter was right next to him. Chi Lingyan hurriedly told them to shut up and said that it wasn’t true. He also introduced his comrades to his daughter. Her father clearly had a good relations.h.i.+p with them. Chi Shuyan called them uncle one by one obediently.

That melodious voice melted the hearts of these middle-aged men, who were fathers themselves. Those in particular who only had sons and no daughters were truly moved when they looked at the beautiful and fair young lady in front of them. They itched to have such a beautiful and spirited daughter for themselves.

Chi Lingyan didn’t have time to talk to his daughter. He still had to patrol the various counties and villages outside the military district. Before getting into the car, he told Chi Shuyan to stay at the Wei residence. When he came back in the evening, he would go and find her there.

Chi Shuyan nodded. Thinking of what had happened recently, she was still a little worried about her father. However, seeing that he was wearing the jade token she had given him on his wrist, Chi Shuyan heaved a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she asked, “Dad, do you have the talismans I gave you before? You can give them to the uncles!”

He really didn’t have the talismans with him. Few people in a place like the military district were superst.i.tious, so he was too embarra.s.sed to take them out. Chi Shuyan could only take out some talismans from her pocket and give most of them to her father, while the other uncles got two or three talismans each, which was a mix of intermediate and high-level Exorcism Talismans.

Chi Lingyan’s comrades looked at each other in dismay. Chi Shuyan was uncharacteristically serious as she said, “Uncles, my master gave this to me. They’re especially useful, especially against evil spirits.”

Chi Shuyan was about to say more, when a man came over from not far away and suddenly said in a strange tone, “Chi Lingyan, you’re really something. You didn’t teach your daughter anything good, but instead taught her feudal superst.i.tions.. I suspect there’s a problem with your thinking. I’ll have to report it to the commander later!”
