"Dad... is your holiday coming to an end?"
"Yes," Luo Yanqing said. "I have to return to my unit the day after tomorrow."
Xiao Ming Wei asked, "Can’t Dad stay ho and spend more ti with us?"
"You have to attend your interest classes, and Dad is an adult, I have my own matters to attend to."
Luo Yanqing’s voice was clear but also tinged with softness, "When your mom and I are not at ho, you must listen to Grandma, and when you go to your interest classes, you can’t just run around wherever you want."
"Oh."
Min Rui nodded vigorously.
Two days later, in the early morning, when the eastern sky had yet to light up with the first glimpse of dawn, Luo Yanqing, carrying a bulging travel bag, stepped out of the courtyard and into a jeep, which Wang Yue drove to the research institute.
About an hour later.
At the research institute.
Luo Yanqing got out of the car and told Wang Yue, "You can drive the car directly back to the courtyard, my mother will accompany Luo Mingrui and the others to the Youth Palace for their interest classes. Please pay extra attention on the side, I have a feeling sothing might happen recently."
"Rest assured, my duty is to protect the safety of your family, and I won’t allow any mishaps to occur on my watch," Wang Yue said earnestly, and having heard this, Luo Yanqing didn’t say any more.
"Is there anything else Comrade Luo would like to remind of?"
Seeing Luo Yanqing still standing in place with his travel bag, Wang Yue couldn’t help showing a puzzled look.
"No, that’s all. You can go."
Shaking his head, Luo Yanqing watched as Wang Yue got into the driver’s seat and drove out of the research facility’s gates.
As for Li Jun, he had been tasked with protecting Kang Li on a journey abroad.
Ti flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, several days passed.
"Big brother, who is that man over there?"
Peering through the half-rolled-down car window, Xiao Ming Wei prodded her big brother Ming Han’s arm and pointed at a man standing on the curb, "He’s so strange. For the past few days when we drive out of the courtyard, I’ve seen him."
Milk Bun Ming Han stared at the furtive-looking uncle that Xiao Ming Wei was pointing at for a while, then shook his head, "I don’t know him."
"What are you two whispering about? Tell Grandma."
Hearing the whispering of the twin with mixed sex, Cai Xiufen followed their gaze out the window, but didn’t see anything, and asked the twins.
"Grandma, little sister asked to look at a very strange uncle. She also said that this uncle has been standing outside our courtyard on the side of the road for the past few days, peering around, and we don’t know what he’s looking for."
Milk Bun Ming Han blinked his big eyes and responded in his tender voice.
Cai Xiufen: "Do you know him?"
The twins shook their heads in unison.
Cai Xiufen: "Then don’t worry about him." Once she had seated them properly on her lap and checked Milk Bun Ming Han’s seat belt, seeing that there were no issues, she didn’t say any more.
However, Wang Yue took what the twins had said to heart. He had intended to turn the steering wheel back to check on the strange uncle ntioned by the twins, but then he thought that doing so would make them likely late for their interest classes at the Youth Palace, so he abandoned the idea.
Tomorrow then. Tomorrow, when he drives out of the courtyard, he’ll pay close attention to the man ntioned by the twins.
However, the next day, outside the gate of the courtyard, Wang Yue saw nothing on the curb, and he even asked the twins if they had seen the strange uncle from the day before. The twins shook their heads together.
Little did he know, the man he was looking for had already left North City the day before.
At Stone Bridge Commune.
Ma Wang Brigade.
Amidst the continuous chirping of cicadas, ng Xingsheng arrived at the small grove where he was to et Cui Shuicao, feeling exceptionally gloomy.
"Why won’t you look at ?"
Leaning against a tree trunk with a sowhat pale face, Cui Shuicao said:
