The two people on the shore watched the chubby baby drown. They breathed a sigh of relief. The secret was finally safe, and so were their lives.
But once they cald down and saw the innocent child they had killed, their consciences were finally troubled. They looked at each other, unable to face the other’s cruelty, and dispersed with heads bowed.
After the two people left, the chubby baby, who had appeared to be floating lifelessly, abruptly opened his eyes.
In the next instant, he transford into a super-miniature, Q-version fat little dragon and paddled his way to shore.
Just how small was he?
He was like a teacup dog, small enough to fit into a pocket.
He was, true to his na, a Q-version teacup little fat dragon.
The Q-version teacup little fat dragon, with his super-miniature short legs, struck a pose like a world champion in a hundred-ter dash and fled for his life.
"SOB, SOB, where are you, Pretty Auntie? I was scared to death! Land is too terrifying; I want to go back to the ocean!"
Si Mingjing was accompanying a group of pharmaceutical factory leaders on a tour of the plant’s laboratory and production workshop.
This visit had been very enlightening for her.
Halfway through the visit, she wanted to use the restroom. After Ye Shen directed her to the washroom, Si Mingjing went on her own.
After using the restroom and stepping out, she heard the chubby baby’s voice, "SOB, SOB, Pretty Auntie~~"
Si Mingjing scanned around but did not see any children.
She asked in confusion, "Shurong?"
"Pretty Auntie, I’m here."
The Q-version teacup little adorable dragon climbed all the way up Si Mingjing’s pant leg, using all his might to reach her shoulder, his little claws tightly gripping her neck.
"SOB, SOB, Pretty Auntie, soone wants to kill ! I was scared to death! Pretty Auntie, you have to avenge !"
Si Mingjing turned her head and stared at the Q-version teacup little fat dragon on her shoulder, her eyes wide with astonishnt.
She raised her palm to her shoulder, and the Q-version teacup little fat dragon imdiately jumped into it, curling his little legs as he sat in her palm.
Surprised and delighted, Si Mingjing said, "Are you Shurong?"
The Q-version teacup little fat dragon nodded vigorously.
"You’re also of the Dragon Clan?"
Si Mingjing gently petted the Q-version teacup little fat dragon.
He felt incredibly dear to her.
She tried to soothe the child’s excessive fright, speaking softly and tenderly, "What happened?"
The Q-version teacup little fat dragon then recounted the entire incident.
He had stumbled upon a man and a woman in a secret liaison.
After speaking, he patted his little belly with his tiny paws, still visibly shaken. "Luckily, I was clever and played dead to escape that disaster."
Listening, Si Mingjing’s heart clenched tightly.
Her expression turned cold and stern.
She couldn’t believe it. What kind of cruel and heartless pair would go to the extent of killing a child to silence him?
It was just an affair. Was it worth driving them to such desperate actions?
Despicable!
She could not let them get away with this!
Si Mingjing comforted the Q-version teacup little fat dragon for a while longer and placed him in her coat pocket. "Do you rember what that despicable pair looked like?"
The Q-version teacup little fat dragon poked his little head out from Si Mingjing’s pocket and nodded emphatically, puffing up with anger. "Even if they turned to ash, I’d recognize them!"
"Stay in Pretty Auntie’s pocket and get a good look at them later."
Afterward, Si Mingjing went to find Ye Shen and continued her inspection.
Ye Shen stood with a group of pharmaceutical factory executives.
Ye Shen was the son of Ye Junqing, a true young master.
All the high-ranking officials of the pharmaceutical factory wanted to curry favor with Ye Shen.
As Si Mingjing approached the group, about four or five ters away, the Q-version teacup little fat dragon in her pocket suddenly beca agitated. "Pretty Auntie, it’s him!"
Si Mingjing’s phoenix eyes narrowed. "Which one?"
The Q-version teacup little fat dragon recognized the culprit who had thrown him into the lake—it was the pharmaceutical factory’s director.
The little fat dragon would absolutely not mistake him.
Si Mingjing’s eyes hardened. "Are you sure?"
The Q-version teacup little fat dragon bristled, vigorously nodding his adorable little head. "I want to kill him!"
Si Mingjing frowned. The director?
This director, nad Dong Shangzhi, was forty years old. He appeared outwardly respectable and morally upright. She never expected he would have an affair and be so cruel as to harm a child!
"Little darling, don’t be impatient. We have no evidence right now, and we don’t know who he was having the affair with. If he flatly denies it, we’ll be at a disadvantage and might even be frad. Trust Pretty Auntie. I will avenge you, but not now. I need to plan this carefully."
The Q-version teacup little fat dragon puffed up. "HUMPH!"
Si Mingjing knew the child felt wronged, but their adversary was the director, the highest authority here.
Even a strong dragon can’t crush a local snake. She needed to gather enough evidence to bring him down and have Uncle Ye deal with him. Otherwise, Uncle Ye might think she was just stirring up trouble, turning a valid grievance into an unreasonable one!
Si Mingjing hatched a plan and conspired with the Q-version teacup little fat dragon. Since they lacked evidence, they would lure the snake out of its hole.
Si Mingjing asked him, "Are you scared?"
"Afraid? Ha! Whoever’s scared is a total loser!"
Si Mingjing laughed. "Good boy, you’re really brave."
Then, remaining composed, Si Mingjing went to chat with Ye Shen and the factory director.
She continued the tour for another hour.
After the visit was over, Si Mingjing shook hands with Dong Shangzhi, saying, "Director Dong, thank you for hosting today. I’m new here, and there is much I don’t understand. I may need to trouble you again in the future."
Dong Shangzhi appeared amiable. "Miss Si, if there’s anything you need, do not hesitate to ask."
"Then I won’t be polite. In a few days, I plan to hold a banquet to celebrate the formal establishnt of my company. I hope Director Dong can co and support the event."
Si Mingjing had been personally brought by Ye Shen and was Mo Yinhe’s fiancée. Of course, Dong Shangzhi wanted to get acquainted.
He smiled repeatedly. "Certainly, certainly."
At that mont, a sopping wet chubby child waddled towards Si Mingjing and hugged her thigh tightly, bursting into tears.
"WAAAH— WAAAH—"
Si Mingjing picked up the child, pretending to be shocked. "Little Shurong, why are you all wet? Did you fall into the water?"
"WAAAH~ Pretty Auntie, I was thrown into the lake by two bad people! I was so scared~~"
The chubby child delivered a natural performance, clinging tightly to Si Mingjing’s neck.
While comforting him, Si Mingjing asked, "Baby, don’t cry. Who was so an to throw you into the lake?"
"WAAAH~ I don’t know! I just saw that bad uncle and that bad auntie hugging and smooching, and I was afraid I’d get a sty, so I left. But the bad uncle and bad auntie chased after and threw into the lake!
WAAAH~ I was so scared! I pretended I couldn’t swim, thrashed around in the water for a bit, then lay still. Only then did the bad uncle and bad auntie leave."
The crowd was shocked. Good heavens! Was this an attempt to silence a witness by murder?
Which despicable couple, caught in an illicit affair, had the child stumbled upon?
Dong Shangzhi’s face had already turned pale as a sheet.
He never imagined the child would survive!
This was troubleso!
Cold sweat broke out on Dong Shangzhi. What was he to do now?
