"Zhouzhou, where are we going?"
Qin Ren followed Zhouzhou to the underground parking lot of the hotel, feeling a bit confused about what she had in mind.
"Shh." Zhouzhou put a finger to her lips and whispered, pointing in a direction. "Eldest Brother, there are people over there. I sll soone who's injured."
What?
Qin Ren was startled and imdiately beca cautious. He tightly held Zhouzhou's hand and pulled her behind him, walking towards that direction with vigilance.
Seeing his actions, Zhouzhou tilted her head, wanting to say that the person was severely injured and probably didn't have the strength to confront them anymore. But seeing his tense expression, she didn't say it out loud.
However, to her surprise, just as they were about to reach the wall, soone suddenly attacked from behind the wall with swift and deadly moves.
With Zhouzhou's reminder, Qin Ren was already on guard and quickly raised his hand to counter-attack.
But within just a few moves, he was defeated.
Qin Ren looked at the unexpected assailant in disbelief, and at that mont, a beam of light shone upon them, allowing him to see the person clearly.
His features were handso, not inferior to Qin Ren's Youngest Uncle in terms of appearance.
However, appearance was only secondary. What mattered the most was his temperant, sharp and piercing eyes that made people dare not look directly at him.
Seeing them, a trace of surprise flashed through the man's sharp eyes. He thought they were enemies.
He released his grip, his lips tightly pursed, his jawline tensed, giving off an unapproachable aura.
But Zhouzhou wasn't afraid at all. She ran up to him and looked at his tall figure, unable to help but exclaim, "Wow, uncle, you're so tall."
He's almost as tall as her dad.
However, she sniffed the air and waved at him, "Uncle, squat down a bit."
Hearing this, Xi Mo was slightly taken aback. He lowered his gaze and looked at the little girl. She was cute, but her clothes were strange, and she was shorter than his waist, looking soft and harmless, with no attacking power at all.
After so consideration, he still crouched down as she requested, but his body remained in an offensive position.
It was an instinct developed from being in constant danger.
Qin Ren pushed up his glasses and looked at him with a probing gaze.
Who was he?
Why did he appear here?
He had many questions, but Zhouzhou didn't think that far. After he crouched down, she took out a bottle of dicine and crushed it, sprinkling it on his wound.
His wound was on his back, and as soon as she moved behind him, Xi Mo instinctively tensed up. He was not accustod to exposing his back to soone he didn't trust, even if it was just a child.
However, to his surprise, as Zhouzhou approached him from behind, he relaxed soon after tensing up.
It was an order that ca from deep within without considering the pros and cons.
He didn't say it, but when he saw her for the first ti, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
However, he was certain that he had never t her before.
While he was deep in thought, a scent of dicine wafted to his nose. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhouzhou. "dicine?"
His voice was low and hoarse but pleasant to hear. Unable to help herself, Zhouzhou looked at him for a while longer and smiled, "Yeah, uncle, you're injured. You can't run around anymore."
As she spoke, she quickly applied the dicine and handed the porcelain bottle in her hand to him. "This is for uncle. Use it next ti you get injured."
Xi Mo lowered his head and saw that the wound on his body had already stopped bleeding.
He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, slling the dicine. Suddenly, his gaze towards Zhouzhou changed slightly.
Just as he was about to speak, Qin Ren's phone suddenly rang. He answered the call, keeping his eyes on Xi Mo to prevent him from suddenly attacking Zhouzhou.
Fortunately, except for the initial mont, Xi Mo didn't show any hostility towards them.
Grandma Qin's voice ca through the phone. After responding with an "okay," he quickly hung up and said, "Zhouzhou, Grandma is calling us back. It's ti to cut the cake."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou imdiately nodded and pulled him along. "Then let's go back quickly."
After running a few steps, she rembered sothing and turned to look at Xi Mo. He had already stood up, facing away from the light, so she couldn't see his expression clearly.
However, Zhouzhou inexplicably felt a sense of closeness to him. She waved at him, "Goodbye, uncle."
Qin Ren also turned to look and felt that this man was sowhat dangerous. He didn't want Zhouzhou to have too much contact with him, so he whispered, "Let's go."
"Mm-hmm."
The duo quickly disappeared.
Xi Mo lowered his head and slled the dicine on his hand. Suddenly, he took out a bottle from his pocket and poured out the hemostatic pills inside.
Except for the bottle, the two pills were exactly the sa.
His bottle was sent down from above. It was said to be a dicine formula obtained from the Dragon Group and was now in mass production, with everyone having a bottle.
Why did this little girl have it?
As he was thinking, his personal phone suddenly rang. Looking at the number on the screen, he pursed his lips and turned around to leave.
A loud voice ca from the other side, "Brother, where did you go? Why did you suddenly bring a coffin ho? It scared the hell out of !"
Xi Mo's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Just keep an eye on her for a few days and don't let anyone touch her."
On the other end of the phone, Xi Yan's face turned red, his handso face tightly wrinkled as he frowned, looking at the coffin in the room. In his mind, he silently repeated the phrase "see a coffin and get rich," unable to help but ask, "Whose remains are these? Are they your teammate's?"
"No," Xi Mo shook his head and uttered three words in a low voice.
Hearing this, Xi Yan was completely stunned.
On the other side, Zhouzhou followed Qin Ren out of the elevator.
On the way, Qin Ren suddenly stopped and looked at Zhouzhou seriously, saying, "Zhouzhou, don't get too close to strangers in the future."
He could tell that Zhouzhou had no defenses against that man just now.
Although she was capable, she could still be at a disadvantage in such a situation.
Zhouzhou nodded, understanding his concerns, and explained, "But Eldest Brother, that uncle just now was a good person."
He had rit radiating from his body, and she saw it, so she decided to save him.
And his rit radiance was no less than that of Sharp Tongue Uncle.
The little girl puffed out her small belly and proudly said, "I'm not the kind of naive and silly person who helps everyone!"
She learned this from watching TV with Grandma Qin.
Qin Ren was instantly amused by her, and his brows and eyes relaxed, feeling a slight sense of relief in his heart. "Okay, just rember to stay away from strangers as much as possible in the future."
"Mm-hmm, I rember," Zhouzhou vigorously nodded her head, even becoming a bit perfunctory towards the end. She pitifully rubbed her belly and said, "Eldest Brother, can we go eat now? My tummy says it's hungry."
"Is it your tummy that's hungry or Zhouzhou?" Qin Ren asked with a smile.
Zhouzhou giggled and confidently said, "Both!"
Qin Ren chuckled and continued walking forward with her.
Seeing them, Qin Lie walked over quickly, his gaze falling on a certain spot, and his expression suddenly tightened...
