The workers had been toiling away for several nights in a row, and now that they heard the work was stopping, each one of them wore a relieved expression as they turned to board their vehicles and leave, making sure to wave goodbye to Little Luojun.
"Little friend, goodbye."
"Take care on the road." After waving to several people and watching the excavators and bulldozers drive off into the distance, the little guy finally lowered his hand and handed the smartphone back to the African Arican bodyguard, complaining in English, "Uncle John, please rember to charge it next ti, okay? I didn’t even get to start recording before it died."
The African Arican bodyguard took his phone back and indeed saw that the screen was off. "But, you just said you had recorded everything."
Luo Jun shrugged his little shoulders, "Mom said, ’All is fair in war,’ which ans it’s okay to lie to bad people."
At this point, the little guy looked around once more, "Uncle Mike, where’s my mom?"
"I’m right here!" Luo Xiaoqian erged from a hidden spot not too far away, with another bodyguard following her.
"That was so dangerous just now. If I hadn’t noticed, grandma’s house would have been torn down." Luo Jun pouted, "Mom, you need to buy grandma’s house back quickly."
"Okay." Luo Xiaoqian patted his little head, "Did you find the starfish?"
"Of course." Luo Jun took the starfish out of his pocket and presented it to Luo Xiaoqian like a treasure, "Isn’t it beautiful?"
"It’s very beautiful," Luo Xiaoqian affird, "Mina will definitely love it. Now that we’ve found the starfish, we should head back to the hotel. Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"
As soon as he heard about food, Luo Jun imdiately showed a childlike look of longing, "Didn’t Mom say those ’Pi Ba’ shrimp are delicious? Can we go try them?"
"It’s not ’Pi Ba’ shrimp, it’s pipa shrimp." Luo Xiaoqian corrected his Chinese pronunciation with a smile, "Okay, let’s go have seafood."
Soon, they all got back in the car.
As the car left the village, Luo Xiaoqian’s gaze returned from the window, and her fingers reached into her bag to pull out a photo that her assistant had given her earlier.
Luo Jun leaned over curiously to look at the photo in her hand, and his big eyes filled with confusion, "Isn’t this the bad woman from just now, Mom? Why do you have her picture?"
"Because Mommy has been looking for her," Luo Xiaoqian gently tapped on the photo of Seo Fei, "Mo Mo, rember, you must stay away from this woman."
"She’s so dumb; I’m not afraid of her," Luo Jun said.
Luo Xiaoqian cupped his little face, "Mo Mo is still young, you need to protect yourself, okay? So, let Mom handle the bad woman, alright?"
"Okay!" Luo Jun nodded in agreent, "Then go for it, Mom."
Luo Xiaoqian’s lips curved into a gentle smile, "I will."
This Seo Fei was actually Xu Pei.
Luo Xiaoqian had thought it would be so days before she saw her, but to her surprise, she encountered her here.
She had assud that after all these years and events, she would have changed, but it seed Luo Xiaoqian had misjudged. To be so explosive towards a child, this woman seed to be even less capable than she was five years ago.
Putting away the photo, Luo Xiaoqian looked up at the assistant sitting in the front seat, "Mike, Tomorrow, check if the approval docunts for this project are all in order. If there’s any loophole we can exploit, find a way to leak it to the dia."
"Yes!" Mike responded respectfully.
