Lin Bingxuan helplessly gestured to Xiao Tian, signaling him to go out first.
Xiao Tian sensibly gave Lin Bingxuan a kiss on the forehead and turned to walk out the door. It’s indeed a good ti for the little girl to have a proper chat with her, which would be beneficial for Lin Bingxuan.
Just before stepping out of the room, Xiao Tian’s keen hearing caught the proud voice of the little girl on the phone.
"Auntie, you don’t know, do you? Recently, we went to Lu Province and it was quite dangerous. If it weren’t for my wit..."
Xiao Tian closed the newly installed door with a silent laugh. This girl really knows how to praise herself...
Turning around to visit the old housekeeper, Xiao Tian saw Zhu Hu and Zheng Zhongqi looking relaxed.
"Apart from the majority that you killed, the last few dozen people have all been captured. In your opinion..."
Before Zhu Hu could finish, Xiao Tian guessed the aning of the veteran and said, "Interrogate them thoroughly and see if we can get any useful information."
Hearing Xiao Tian’s opinion, Zhu Hu felt relieved. If Xiao Tian insisted on killing them all, he would have been helpless.
Actually, according to Xiao Tian’s own thoughts, killing those people would be fine, but since Zhu Hu spoke up he can’t ignore his face.
After all, this veteran had given the greatest help he could during Xiao Tian’s tough tis; he wasn’t soone who forgets kindness easily.
"Oh, there’s one thing I forgot to tell you." Zheng Zhongqi said mysteriously, "This is really good news for you, want to guess?"
Beside him, Zhu Hu rolled his eyes, "I say Zheng Zhongqi, whatever I want to say now, you guess!"
"You’re definitely questioning other’s shalessness again." Zheng Zhongqi said confidently, "But even if I guess right, you still won’t admit it, so just pretend I never said it!"
"..."
Zhu Hu was choked by his words, feeling that this old fellow has been with him for so long that his speech has beco sharp too!
However, his contempt for Zheng Zhongqi only grew stronger; how could anyone guess this out of thin air?!
Do you think everyone in this world is a worm in your stomach?!
Xiao Tian furrowed his brow at Zheng Zhongqi’s words, a piece of really good news for him?
What could it be?
Thinking about recent events that might match what Zheng Zhongqi was talking about, perhaps it’s Ren Wenshan planning to expose Lu Neng’s illegal contracts?!
At this thought, Xiao Tian asked uncertainly, "Has soone exposed Lu Neng’s illegal deeds?"
Zhu Hu and Zheng Zhongqi were stunned by Xiao Tian’s question; does guessing out of thin air indeed exist?!
"How did you know?!"
Zheng Zhongqi asked incredulously.
Before Xiao Tian could answer, Zhu Hu questioned again, "Are you the one who exposed him?!"
Xiao Tian shook his head, denying his guess, and then revealed how he impersonated Lu Neng to provoke Ren Wenshan, leaving the two battle-hardened veterans dumbfounded, repeatedly giving thumbs up.
High!
Really high!
The two veterans were deeply impressed by Xiao Tian’s tactics, praising him even when departing.
Zheng Zhongqi said as he walked, "Wicked! Really wicked!"
"Still a bit lacking compared to you!" Zhu Hu said indifferently, "If it’s a competition of who’s more wicked, you’d be Huaxia’s second, nobody would dare claim first!"
"Bah!" Zheng Zhongqi retorted sarcastically, "I find the older you get, the more shaless you beco."
Watching the two bicker and walk away, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but laugh, but had an uneasy feeling about their initial conversation.
Wicked?
Were they talking about him?
Just as he was pondering, a voice all too familiar ca...
"Xiao Tian!"
The one who could call him like this, with such a heart-rending relief in just two words, was only one person—his mother, Xiao Nianqing!
Xiao Nianqing jogged over to her son, hugging him tightly as if fearing she’d lose him if she loosened her grip.
Xiao Tian patted her back and comforted gently, "Mom, don’t worry, it’s all over!"
"Yes, finally everything..."
Just as Xiao Nianqing was about to agree, she suddenly rembered sothing, wiped her tears, and grabbed Xiao Tian’s ear, speaking sharply, "Did you think I didn’t know about Ningxue deceiving ?"
Yu Ningxue, standing by with her head lowered, softly said, "Auntie, it’s all my fault!"
Xiao Nianqing saw Yu Ningxue appearing terrified, quickly took her hand, and said gently, "Don’t worry, only he could co up with such an idea; I don’t an to bla you!"
Xiao Tian was dumbstruck watching the two; the concern and gaze looked like Yu Ningxue was her daughter.
This scene made Xiao Tian helplessly ask, "Who exactly is your child?!"
Hearing Xiao Tian speak, Xiao Nianqing beca livid again, retorting, "Both!"
This "both" made Yu Ningxue blush, her head lowering even more.
In any case, seeing her son safe and sound, Xiao Nianqing felt pleased, though she still harbored so grudge over Xiao Tian instructing Yu Ningxue to deceive her!
...
Things have to start when Yu Ningxue was initially taken away by Xiao Nianqing, back then Yu Ningxue’s helpless gaze wasn’t rely the tension of facing her future mother-in-law alone.
She understood the aning in Xiao Tian’s eyes, which was for her to try to delay as much as possible, returning after the crisis.
Subsequently, although extrely nervous, Yu Ningxue followed Xiao Tian’s instructions.
She initially said she was hungry, so naturally, Xiao Nianqing wanted to treat her future daughter-in-law to a al.
To avoid revealing flaws, Yu Ningxue pretended she said it casually, yet couldn’t refuse Xiao Nianqing’s kindness.
The duo went to the restaurant, with Yu Ningxue eating particularly slowly, almost to the point of seeming anorexic.
Xiao Nianqing, though puzzled, assud her nervousness and didn’t think too much.
A al took almost an hour; just as they left the restaurant to return to the hospital, Yu Ningxue complained of stomach pain, probably due to bad food.
With Xiao Nianqing’s temperant, she instantly wanted to call the restaurant to report it, but Yu Ningxue stopped her.
Seeing Yu Ningxue insist, Xiao Nianqing had no choice but to say she was too kind, then advised going back to the hospital quickly.
Of course, Yu Ningxue couldn’t allow her to return to the hospital, promptly fabricated a reason she had an ailnt since childhood, untreatable at the hospital and only curable by herbal dicine.
Despite finding it odd, Xiao Nianqing helped her into the car, asking her to indicate the herbal shop location.
Feigning severe pain in the back seat, Yu Ningxue quickly checked the navigation, locating the furthest herbal shop in Shanghai...
