Chapter 1307 - 1307: Elite Soldiers Reveal Their Mettle

"This matter isn't up to me. You'll need to ask the old chairman and the current chairman," Shao Baxing said in an official tone.

The little girl seized the opportunity and said, "Then call them now and tell them what I said. Unless they provide an exact time for me to leave the house, I won't go back!"

"This matter isn't up to the young lady," Shao Baxing said coldly, stepping forward.

Opposite, Du Qingyue and Lu Yao stepped to the little girl's left; Jiang Yixin and Zhen Jinghan to her right. The four women stepped forward simultaneously.

Then all four moved closer to the center, securely shielding the little girl behind them.

"You are all friends of the young lady, and I don't want to have any conflict with you," Shao Baxing said with a calm tone, as if merely expressing his own idea.

Beyond that, there was no fear or dread.

It felt like he simply didn't want a conflict, rather than being afraid of one!

Du Qingyue said expressionlessly, "What a coincidence, we think the same way.

If Shihan wants to go home, we wouldn't say a word.

But now she doesn't want to go back, her will is our direction, and we stand by her unconditionally!"

At this moment, among the sixteen elderly, one square-faced elder with square glasses, resembling an old scholar, approached Shao Baxing and said:

"Comrade, no matter what we do, we need to be reasonable.

Now that conditions have improved, our living standards have risen, our thinking can't fall behind.

The young lady has said she won't go, so why force her?"

"This old guy, just like when he was young, so courteous even in an argument!" A short-haired, kindly-looking old lady, looked at the bespectacled elder with admiration in her eyes.

Meanwhile, the surrounding elderly comrades began chiming in one after another.

"Wow, at this age, still thinking about Teacher Wang?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, both Wang Ji and you are single now, so even if you pair up, there's nothing improper about it."

"I think it's great! You two were always making eyes at each other when you were young. Now that you're old, it's time to rekindle that flame, wouldn't that be a wonderful story?"

At this point, Shao Baxing turned to look at the elder named Wang Ji, speaking rather irritably, "What does this have to do with you?"

"It does!" Wang Ji nodded emphatically. "Your behavior rubs me the wrong way, so I have to intervene!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other fifteen elderly comrades also walked over, lining up beside Wang Ji, surrounding Shao Baxing in two layers deep.

"Be careful, that old man is even older than us. We don't want to get falsely accused."

"Let's agree beforehand, we'll only reason, no force."

"Go, go, Wang Laoji!"

Upon hearing the name "Wang Laoji," Xiao Feng and the others couldn't help but pause, the image of a certain canned tea popping into their minds.

Looking at the senior brigade of sixteen, each standing tall and poised...

Could it be that they are a group of... no, highly-skilled yet hidden masters?

With such a question arising in their hearts, Xiao Feng began to analyze it in detail, not ruling out the possibility.

After all, Old Master Sun once said, they were a group of elites.

"Are you all determined to meddle?" Shao Baxing turned his body, facing the bespectacled intellectual Wang Ji.

Wang Ji earnestly said, "In my eyes, there's no such thing as minding one's own business. As an educated, teaching intellectual.

I have the responsibility and obligation to stand up and fight against people like you with backward thoughts!"

"Unfortunately, I'm not interested in hearing your big ideas." Shao Baxing chuckled lightly, "I only act, you'd better step aside."

"What if I don't step aside?"

"Then I'll have to move you aside myself!"

Wang Ji took a deep breath and said, "Old brother, let me advise you, don't be headstrong.

Otherwise, you will regret it!"

"Alright, let's see what makes you think I'll regret it." Shao Baxing seemed intrigued, adjusting his stance, ready to confront anytime.

And Xiao Feng and the others were also full of anticipation, wanting to see the strength of these sixteen elderly comrades.

Wang Ji looked around, then tilted his head back, and asked the fifteen behind him, "Are you all ready?"

"Sigh... do we really have to go this far?" One person showed reluctance.

The others also began to speak.

"We've already passed the age of fighting and shouting, didn't expect we'd have to come out in the open again."

"When was the last time we teamed up for a... oh not, worked together?"

"Since they're not willing to listen to reason, we'll have to use some special methods!"

Upon hearing this conversation, Xiao Feng and the others became even more eager to see the performance of the elderly comrades.

Shao Baxing also raised his alertness a bit more, a hint of gravity in his eyes.

"Spread out, I'll count to three-two-one," Wang Ji said calmly, the fifteen behind him all nodded, each moving their steps, seemingly about to form some sort of formation.

"Three... two... one!"

At the final countdown, all sixteen elderly comrades moved at once.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

At that moment, time seemed to stop.

Including Xiao Feng, everyone was stunned, their minds entirely blank!

On the ground, all sixteen elderly lay down neatly, perfectly aligned whether viewed horizontally or vertically, as if they had rehearsed countless times.

Right in the middle, Shao Baxing's face was grim, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

Evidently, he was speechless with these elderly who collapsed around him like a "meteor shower."

After a full five seconds of silence, the elderly comrades on the ground began to move again...

"Oh my goodness, my arm hurts, it must be dislocated!"

"Oh my great-grandmother, at this age, I actually got my leg broken by someone, where's the justice, where's the humanity?!"

"Call the police quickly, and dial 120!"

The elderly rolled and shouted miserably, their expressions spot-on, their emotions handled so thoroughly, leaving no room for criticism!

A true professional elderly extortion gang!

Shao Baxing took a deep breath and moved forward, eyes fixed on the little girl behind Du Qingyue and the others.

Suddenly, Wang Ji hugged Shao Baxing's right leg with both hands, shouting, "We can't be beaten without reason, pay up!"

This sentence, like a rallying cry.

The surrounding elderly crawled toward Shao Baxing, some hugging his legs, some tugging his arms, and even two old ladies clung tightly to Shao Baxing's pant legs, attempting to pull them down.

Though pulling the pants wouldn't expose the long-robed Shao Baxing, such behavior was indeed embarrassing to watch.

"It hurts, pay up quickly!"

"I'm begging you, pay up quickly!"

"Hurry, pay up, pay up, pay up!"

In an instant, the cries of "pay up" were like a spell, continuously drilling into Shao Baxing's ears.

That's what they call devilish, and at this moment, Shao Baxing truly understood.
