Bo Leng ignored his words, swirled the wine in his glass, and said, "So what if I’m on my guard against you? Do I look like so brainless idiot to you?"
Mo Yinhe: "..."
This topic was no longer up for discussion. His brother-in-law possessed absolutely no grasp of the art of conversation. He was blunt and completely lacked emotional intelligence. Mo Yinhe chose to focus on eating!
At that mont, the ringing of a cell phone filled the air. It was Bo Leng’s ring phone.
Bo Leng glanced at the caller ID: Su Zhi.
Bo Leng answered the call, his voice indifferent. "What is it?"
Su Zhi’s voice ca from the other end of the phone, clearly frantic. "Big Brother, I heard you’re in Yecheng now?"
"Yes. What about it?"
Lowering his voice secretively, Su Zhi asked again, "Is it convenient for you to talk right now? Is Mo Yinhe there with you?"
Bo Leng glanced at Mo Yinhe, who was engrossed in his al, and replied, "He is."
"Big Brother, quickly find sowhere private to talk! I have sothing extrely urgent, and I desperately need your help!" Su Zhi’s voice was so loud that even Mo Yinhe could hear it.
Hearing Su Zhi’s anxious tone, Mo Yinhe snorted coldly. What kind of extrely urgent matter could Su Zhi possibly be afraid of overhearing?
His brothers-in-law from the Mu Continent were truly each more wary of him than the last, showing not a hint of family warmth.
Bo Leng stood up, walked out, and stood in the deserted courtyard. Pale moonlight spilled down, enveloping his tall, imposing figure and making him seem very aloof.
Bo Leng said, "Speak. What is it?"
Su Zhi said, his voice frantic and strained, "Big Brother, Su Chaoyang is missing! I suspect he went to Yecheng to find his biological parents. If you’re in Yecheng, you must help intercept him! You absolutely, *absolutely* must help intercept him! I can’t lose him; without him, my life will be devoid of joy!"
Hearing Su Zhi’s desperate voice, as if his life depended on it, Bo Leng was exasperated but said in a deep tone, "If he’s co, then he’s co. A child will eventually want to see their biological parents. You plan to hide the child for his entire life; have you ever considered that a child needs his parents?"
"I don’t care! Su Chaoyang is mine! No one is taking him away from !" Su Zhi wailed over the phone, almost incoherently. "I’m begging you, Big Brother, please help ! I’ll be forever indebted to you! From now on, I promise to obey your every command. Please, please, you must intercept him for !"
Bo Leng snorted coldly, thinking to himself, Aren’t you already obeying my every command?
"If you don’t help , I’ll tell Sister-in-law about that matter!" When pleading didn’t work, Su Zhi resorted to threats against Bo Leng.
Bo Leng exuded an intimidating chill, so furious he wished he could reach through the phone and put a bullet in Su Zhi. "Tired of living? Just say so."
Su Zhi had thrown all caution to the wind. ’The mountains are high and the emperor is far away,’ as they say. He knew that even if his Big Brother was seething with rage, he couldn’t do anything to him at that mont, so he spoke brazenly, "Anyway, if Big Brother doesn’t help , I’ll call Sister-in-law and tell her. If Mo Yinhe takes Su Chaoyang away, then what aning will my life have left!"
Bo Leng, suppressing his fury, bit out, "Understood!"
After hanging up, he called the subordinates accompanying him, instructing them to spread out and search, to see if they could find the child before Su Chaoyang found his biological parents.
Upstairs, Si Mingjing slowly regained consciousness. Before she even opened her eyes, she heard a GURGLING sound in the bedroom. She lazily lifted her eyelids and saw a rice cooker on the table, steam puffing out vigorously. In the depths of autumn, the sight was particularly heartwarming.
All that was missing was the handso figure of soone standing before the rice cooker.
Si Mingjing sent out a WeChat ssage: "I’m awake."
