Men understand men better, so Xuan Mohan was certain that Qin Haojie liked Lan Qianqian, and no less than he did.
Qin Haojie could basically be ruled out. If it were him, he wouldn't bear to see her get hurt even a little, and he believed Qin Haojie felt the same.
“Is there any loss to the cargo at the port?”
Qi Jiayou knew what he meant. If it was just about the cargo, that wouldn't be a problem. “They came for us.”
Originally, he wouldn't have needed to remind him specifically, but these people had vanished from S City afterward, so they had to be wary.
Xuan Mohan sneered, “If they’ve come, let’s greet them properly. We have to return the favor, don't we?”
Seeing Mo's fierce expression, he knew clearly that these people had touched his bottom line.
However, his purpose for coming had been achieved. He lightly smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, and Qi Jiayou got up to leave. He still had many things to do.
Mo had to take care of his woman, and Xuan had to go research medicine. Only he and Hao were relatively free.
He kept an eye on those people in S City. Hao continued to investigate Lan Qianqian's matters. Although this matter seemed small, it contained significant underlying issues.
For example, how those people administered the drug, when they administered it, and through what means – these were all things they had yet to discover.
Most importantly, the fact that they left no trace was the most puzzling point.
…
Far away in another country, Shi Yi’s face was stern, his expression serious, as if he had encountered a grave matter.
This was because he discovered his subordinates were working with less and less enthusiasm, which was greatly delaying things. And most importantly… it was delaying his return to see the young master born!
This wouldn’t do. At this pace, he didn't know when he could go back. What should he do?
They were all men, so how could they not bear this much?! If they ever boasted about working under him, he’d break their mouths!
The subordinate beside him shivered. He was with the leader every day, so he naturally knew how bad his mood was. Everyone dared not seek good reviews lately, only praying not to be caught making a mistake by the leader.
If caught, it would be hell on earth!!!
He wondered which foolish person dared to displease the leader, making things difficult for everyone. If he found that person, they would all beat him up!
“Ring ring ring~”
This ringing sound was clearly the leader’s. He wondered which unlucky person was making a call at this time, practically inviting a scolding.
The subordinate cast a sympathetic glance at the leader’s pocket.
See, the leader’s expression changed in an instant. This guy was going to be miserable.
Shi Yi’s expression immediately became respectful upon seeing the young master’s call. Before he could even speak, he heard the person on the other end say, “Shi Yi, drop what you’re doing and return to the country immediately.”
Let him fly back? Really? He didn’t need to manage things here anymore?
Shi Yi’s mind was a bit fuzzy, but his mouth moved faster than his brain, “Yes.”
“Dududu~”
Why hadn’t the leader reacted yet?
One second…
Ten seconds…
One minute…
How strange, how could this person be fine after hanging up the leader’s call? Surely the leader hadn’t reacted yet. Look, he was still looking at his phone. Should he run? He would be the first one they’d target!
“Shi Xiaohu!”
“Here! Leader.” Did my voice sound loud enough just now? Clear? If not, I’d get hit on the head.
“Go back with me!!!”
What if he wanted to cover his ears? But if he made any move, the leader would chop off his hands. How could the leader’s voice be so loud, even louder than his?!
“What are you spacing out for?!” He had brought him along because he thought he was smarter.
He had picked him up and given him a new name. What was Xiao Hu’s name before? Oh, right… Wang Ermazi! Yes, that was Wang Ermazi! They said he was easy to raise, and the villagers just gave him that name. His nickname was Er Lengzi. Look at these names!
“I’m happy for the leader!” Seeing the leader hold back a smile, he knew his mood was okay. This statement was definitely right!
“Mm, you’re sensible. Go pack your things quickly, we’re leaving soon. You have ten minutes!”
Ten minutes? Pack what? Shi Xiaohu looked back at the leader’s retreating figure, completely bewildered…
Ten minutes later
Shi Yi looked at his watch. Yes, it was just right. If it was even a second later, he’d make himself run back after landing. But…
“What did you pack in here? Why is there so much?” He didn’t know how long they’d be back, but bringing a couple of changes of clothes should be enough.
The leader walked behind him, grabbed the bag, and let go. Good heavens, why was it so heavy?!
“What did you pack? Did you bring the pots and pans too?”
No, leader! If you’re going to let go, at least be gentle! My old back! I could hear his bones grinding.
“I brought daily necessities and weapons and equipment!”
Doesn’t everyone know that following the leader means not being without equipment, otherwise, you wouldn’t even have anything to drink but the northwest wind!
“Who told you to bring this stuff?!” Shi Yi was furious. Did the young master lack this bit of weaponry? He really wanted to pry open his head and see what it looked like!
No equipment? Holy cow! The leader wouldn’t even give him equipment. What had he done wrong recently for the leader to punish him like this? Wuwuwu~ Can we negotiate?
“Got it, leader.” Shi Xiaohu nimbly unloaded the equipment. After throwing it down, he was left with just a small bag…
Looking at the pile of stuff on the ground, Shi Xiaohu felt utterly disheartened. He should have brought more food instead of so much equipment. If there was no northwest wind, he could at least fill his stomach. You can never guess what the leader is thinking!
“Let’s go, let’s go, don’t waste time!”
He was still in a hurry to see the young madam and the young master in her belly. He didn’t know if he’d be able to see them.
Were people rushing to their own beheading?
Shi Xiaohu dejectedly followed behind.
After boarding the plane, Shi Xiaohu realized it wasn’t like this. Why were there so few people?! Including himself, weren’t they all here to be punished?
Otherwise… otherwise… why were there only a few of them?! And they weren’t carrying any equipment either! That’s good, if we die, we die together!
Their organization wasn’t short of money, and taking private planes on missions was common. But usually, they went with a team. Today, there were only a few of them, which clearly meant they weren’t on a mission.
It meant… they were here for punishment!
“Hey, what mistake did you guys make to be here?”
Shi Xiaohu secretly slipped over while the leader went to the front. He wanted to find out first, so he’d know what kind of punishment he was about to receive.
Who knew that all he got was a scoff from the blonde, blue-eyed man beside him.
What’s so funny? He admired this guy’s composure, being able to laugh at this moment. And the key thing was, what did he mean by not speaking?
He asked another person, “Brother, how did you get in here?” He said it like… like going to prison!
Feng Qi glanced at him but said nothing.
Tsk~ Why so cold? This is how it should be when you’re going to be punished!
“Don’t be scared, I have some experience. I’ll take care of you then.”
Shi Xiaohu patted his chest and guaranteed it. He was quite loyal.
“Pfft~” This time, the blond man couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore.
