As the morning sunlight bathed the earth, the ginkgo trees cast a golden hue over the entire neighborhood, and the city began to gradually awaken...
"Mmm~" Xiao Yu shifted her delicate brows and gently opened her eyes, then... t a pair of smiling eyes.
"Ah~" She loosened her arms from around the man’s chest, instinctively pulling the blanket tightly to cover her alluring figure, leaving only a blushing head exposed.
"You... you’re awake?"
"Hmm! How was your sleep last night?"
"Pretty good... why are you looking at like that."
"Afraid you’d be irresponsible and run away again."
"What are you saying! I’m not that kind of person..."
Wrapped in the blanket, Xiao Yu blushed and tried to fetch her nightgown thrown on the floor but inadvertently moved her injury.
"Hiss~"
"What’s wrong?"
"You... you go out first!"
"Why, we’re an old married couple, let help you."
"Pa!" The pillow hit ng Lang’s face.
"Okay, okay! I’ll go out, alright!" Seeing Mr. Lin showing signs of flustered anger, he chuckled and left the room.
Lin Haitang watched the closed door, finally feeling relieved.
She lifted the blanket, looking at the vivid marks, and her face blushed once more...
...
1103.
"Ha~" Xiao Yu, wearing cartoon pajamas, rubbed her drowsy eyes and walked out of the room, just in ti to see ng Lang with a bright smile carrying a plate out of the kitchen.
"Hey, Uncle, up so early?"
"Morning, Xiao Yu, the year’s plan starts with the morning; breakfast is ready. After eating, I’ll take you to school."
With that, ng Lang carried the plate and prepared to head out.
"Where are you going, Uncle?"
Xiao Yu, sharp-eyed, clearly saw the plate with a golden fried egg, huh? It seed to be a heart shape too?
"Oh! I’m going to eat across the way."
"Huh? Why?"
"Haha... the scenery is great over there~"
Xiao Yu: "???"
Watching the closed door, Xiao Yu scratched her head and sat at the dining table, the plate contained a normal fried egg...
She slightly recalled Uncle’s expression just now.
Hmm... naturally squinted eyes, naturally upturned mouth with moderate amplitude, also engaging the apple cheeks...
Did sothing good happen?
...
When the two went downstairs, seeing the little boy waiting early downstairs, ng Lang’s smile brightened even more.
"Yo, Little Chu Nan, good morning!"
Chu Nan: "..."
For so reason, he felt this greeting made him a bit displeased...
"Good morning, Uncle ng, good morning, Xiao Yu."
"Haha! Haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? Look, Uncle brought you a portion too, don’t be shy! Grandpa Hu asked to look after you, after all.
You’re classmates now, if there’s any trouble, just tell Xiao Yu! Got it?"
"Uh... thank you, Uncle..."
Chu Nan, with a peculiar expression, accepted the breakfast handed by the warmly smiling ng Lang, sowhat unaccustod to his unexpected enthusiasm.
Shouldn’t masters be cool and aloof?
How co the expression looks like the groom at a wedding handing out candy?
Hmm... it’s probably because of Grandpa Hu’s connections...
Thinking this made him a bit dejected.
On his first important assignnt, he perford so incompetently that Grandpa Hu had to resolve it himself.
Listen! What does it an to tell Xiao Yu if there’s trouble?
I’m a bodyguard, okay! Should a bodyguard seek help from the protection target when in trouble?
The other party is completely treating like a child!
Darn it!
To make this a lesson, I’ll punish myself by running around the neighborhood 20 tis after school...
"Uncle! Thank you for the breakfast, but I definitely won’t cause any trouble for you!" Chu Nan displayed a resolute expression, speaking solemnly.
"Uh..." It’s just breakfast, intended to enhance goodwill considering future camaraderie.
Did he misunderstand sothing?
Chu Nan said no more, instead sticking close to the duo, vigilantly scanning the surrounding pedestrians for any potential threats while unpacking the sandwich...
"Awooh~"
Hmm~ Chu Nan’s eyes lit up.
The crispy toasted outer layer shattered lightly, the fibers of the bread crackled subtly between his teeth.
As he bit into the sunny-side-up egg, the semi-solidified liquid oozed out like lava, mixing with the roasted wheat aroma and pepper’s spiciness, filling the taste buds...
His face involuntarily showed an expression of enjoynt.
From the habits nurtured in the military camp to the unforgettable challenging past, he quickly devoured the sandwich.
Even the tiniest crumbs in the wrapper weren’t spared, all tipped into his mouth, eventually savoring the corner of his lips.
Watching this scene, Xiao Yu suddenly blurted out.
"Xiao Nan, did you starve severely earlier?"
Chu Nan froze.
Recalling those dark days in a windowless dungeon, where the most delicious dish was chicken bones discarded by traffickers...
To sap their strength to escape, traffickers even allowed them only a ager amount of rice broth daily.
Even now, the profound hunger sensation reminds him not to waste any morsel...
Seeing Xiao Yu inquisitively gaze at him, Chu Nan internally echoed ng Lang’s previous scream.
Mind Reading Technique! This is definitely mind reading!
No! Stop looking at !
He dared not respond, fearing that opening his mouth would reveal more inner secrets to the tailless little witch watching.
He could only attempt to gather all emotions and eye movents, maintaining a blank face staring forward, albeit his steps seed awkwardly stiff.
ng Lang chuckled watching this scene, the stern teenager in the photo gradually rged with the boy before him...
Previously just resembling in appearance, now they embodied the sa spirit...
Uh... could this guy’s poker face be forcefully conjured by Xiao Yu?
Indeed, a youth’s misfortune often starts with encountering soone too remarkable at a young age...
"Brother ng! Brother ng!"
Just then, ng Lang suddenly heard soone calling him from the front.
Looking up, he saw Wang Zhao Ping, who hadn’t been seen for a long ti, smiling as he walked over from the school gate.
"Brother ng, I knew you’d be here at this ti!"
"Captain Wang? Long ti no see!"
"Indeed, I’ve been so busy lately, hehe... Xiao Yu, still as adorable as ever, this... huh?"
Wang Zhao Ping smiled as he patted Xiao Yu’s head, but when he looked at the little boy beside Xiao Yu, he suddenly froze and stared closely for a few monts.
"Aren’t you... from Major General Chu’s family... Xiao Nan?!"
After pondering for a mont, he finally rembered the boy’s na.
After the child abduction case was solved, as the most notable contributor on the surface, Chu Tian had brought his wife and child to the police station to thank him specifically, and Wang Zhao Ping had t Chu Nan once back then.
But he never expected to et again under such circumstances, especially with the boy wearing...
Still wearing the Qing Song Primary School uniform?
What’s going on?
If he rembers correctly, wasn’t Major General Chu’s family from Jinling?
Chu Nan was also surprised to suddenly run into Wang Zhao Ping here, and even more surprised that he seed to know Uncle Expert?
However, he quickly stepped forward and gave a slight bow.
"Hello Uncle Wang, thank you again for saving my life!"
"Uh... no need, no need."
Your lifesaver is actually soone else, standing right next to you, you’ve thanked the wrong person!
He pointed at Chu Nan, with a shocked look turning to ng Lang.
"No, Brother ng, when you told last ti you wanted to adopt Xiao Nan as your godson, I thought you were joking?"
Godson? X2
Chu Nan and Xiao Yu simultaneously looked at ng Lang with surprised expressions.
Chu Nan was even more bewildered, last ti? Which last ti?
He clearly t ng Lang for the first ti the day before yesterday...
eting and wanting to adopt as a godson?
What kind of hobby is this?
"Uh..." ng Lang was also bewildered.
Did I say that? Oh! Right, I rember now.
Previously, he did ntion this to Wang Zhao Ping, it was when he had just found out that one of the kids he saved was practically a future powerhouse.
At that ti, he was thinking of imitating Lv Buwei’s strategy of holding onto a valuable ally, trying to pose as his godfather...
But this was said right in front of them, being overheard wanting to beco soone’s godfather upon first eting...
It’s a bit awkward.
"Ahem!" ng Lang cleared his throat.
"Oh, your Uncle Wang was just joking with everyone, oh dear, you’re almost late, hurry up to class!"
Pushing Chu Nan and Xiao Yu, both filled with question marks, into the school gate, only then did ng Lang breathe a sigh of relief.
"No, Brother ng, what’s going on here? Why is Xiao Nan here? Did Major General Chu agree to let you adopt him?" Wang Zhao Ping’s mind was as full of questions as Chu Nan’s.
Moreover, you want to adopt him and yet you send the child to others?
Looking at ng Lang taking two children to school, anyone unaware might think there was a transfer of guardianship...
What kind of biological dad is this?
A token of affection, sending a godson a thousand miles away?
"This matter is quite long-winded, but since Xiao Nan’s identity is a bit special, I’d appreciate it if Brother Wang doesn’t spread it around."
"Oh! I understand, I understand!"
The family of a special unit’s major general, the sensitive identity is naturally understandable.
Seeing that ng Lang did not intend to explain further, Wang Zhao Ping sensibly chose not to press further.
He rely sighed inwardly, amazed at Brother ng’s spectacular networking skills.
It seed that regardless of the social strata or whether black or white, there was no one Brother ng couldn’t reach?
Think of it as the skill of one who thrives on intelligence?
"By the way, Captain Wang, did you co to find specifically today? What’s the matter that can’t be ntioned over the phone?"
"So things aren’t convenient to discuss over the phone... Let’s go to your house and talk."
"Uh... that’s also not very convenient." ng Lang quickly pulled Wang Zhao Ping and pointed to a teahouse not far away.
"Let’s go chat there."
...
After ordering a pot of pre-rain Longjing tea, Wang Zhao Ping took a sip, and then stated his intention for today...
"Iwazaki Hideyoshi?" ng Lang’s expression beca peculiar.
"Yes! Normally, such Fusang family’s internal conflicts have nothing to do with us, let them fight dog-eat-dog, let them die.
However, this case happened at the Su City International Exhibition Center, within our jurisdiction...
The leader of their investigation group was chased, the assassins dead all over, and the direct line heir vanished just like that, whether dead or alive, not even a corpse to be found.
This incident is a big deal, even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is alard.
Originally, an important figure like this should be handled at a higher level.
But perhaps the higher-ups worried about getting embroiled in a ss with no person to find, and instead shoved the task onto the heads of our criminal investigation team..."
Wang Zhao Ping wore a face full of helplessness.
"Who could have guessed, not long ago I considered Iwazaki Hideyoshi as a suspect in the Buddha head theft case, and now I have to search the world for his whereabouts...
Initially, when the person just disappeared, there wasn’t much reaction within Fusang Country.
We simply treated it as a regular missing persons case.
But recently, hearing that Iwazaki Hideyoshi’s branch regained control over the family amid internal struggles and won overwhelmingly...
The importance of Iwazaki Hideyoshi as the heir suddenly shot up?
You wouldn’t believe it, recently Fusang keeps sending people here wave after wave, frantically searching for the person around the cri scene.
The reward money is increasing, now it’s almost over 3 million US Dollars.
Because of pressure from the other side, now the higher-ups are urging us daily to solve the case quickly, dead or alive, just find the person.
Ultimately, all the pressure cos down on ?"
Wang Zhao Ping sighed.
"Alas! With Su City’s surveillance density, finding soone shouldn’t be difficult.
However, all the surveillance around the cri scene was hacked by electronic experts, the footage from that ti can’t be retrieved at all.
Now, nobody knows if the person is dead or alive, hidden or captured by kidnappers?
Now I’m at a complete loss, so I ca to see if luck favors at Brother ng’s..."
ng Lang’s expression grew more peculiar.
Haha! Then you’ve certainly co to the right person...
From rescuing to kidnapping, from physical confinent to mind transformation, a full set of services.
The kidnapper is sitting right in front of you...
Consulting a kidnapper about kidnappers’ information has led to consulting the kidnapper boss, look how this turns out...
