Chapter 182: Chapter 175: Don’t be afraid, I will protect you
“This… this won’t do! How could we trouble you to pick them up? I should—ouch—”
That’s it, I can’t go on. If I continue, I’m afraid I will embarrass myself in front of Qiao Jing.
“It’s fine, I’ve been feeling bored staying here anyway. A walk would be good.” Qiao Jing took her phone and left.
Gan Lanlan looked at Qiao Jing with a moved expression, thinking that Professor Qiao was such a wonderful person!
Outside the kindergarten.
In a van, there were six people, all well-covered and holding tools, staring at the kindergarten’s gate.
The leader pulled out a photo, and on it was Gan Qiqi.
“Take another look, guys, don’t mix it up. We’re getting big money for this job. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go have dinner with Sister Jing.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Sister Jing. I wonder how she’s been? Has she gotten even prettier?” said Abler, one of Qiao Jing’s diehard fans.
No sooner had Abler spoken than the person beside him stared intently forward, “Sister Jing has indeed beco more and more attractive over ti. She’s shed her youthful air, and now she carries a real woman’s charm. That figure, truly a sight to behold!”
“My god! I ran so hard, my legs are about to break.”
“Isn’t it? I haven’t run like this in years, and I’m almost weary to death.”
The audience gradually arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, so ran all the way to grab the best viewing spots, panting with exhaustion.
“Why hasn’t sister arrived yet?”
Lin Jinlei, seeing the increasing crowd of spectators, was a bit frantic.
“If sister said she would co, she will definitely co. Don’t worry.”
Lin Yixuan had absolute faith in his sister, his obsidian-like eyes shining brightly.
“Maybe Master was held up?”
Shitou’s small eyes shone brightly, hinting, “The County Exam is near, soone is tutoring with the Imperial Sword, even Master may not be able to leave easily.”
“What nonsense are you spouting now!”
Wang ng glared at him irritably.
“Here she cos!”
Lin Yixuan’s gaze brightened suddenly, looking up at the sky.
“Chirp.”
At the sa ti, the giant eagle let out a long cry, and dove down from the sky.
“Look, it’s the giant eagle!”
“There is soone on the eagle!”
“Is it a little girl?”
“Isn’t it, isn’t that the Duke of Zhen’s Eldest Miss?”
“My god, she’s flying straight down from the sky, isn’t she going to fall off the eagle’s back?”
“Oh, I can’t stand it, I’m so nervous, my heart is about to give out.”
Hearing the eagle’s cry, the Martial Arts Arena was suddenly boiling with excitent.
The crowd gathered in front of the arena was extrely shocked and then extrely frightened.
All of them, anxiously looking up at the sky, felt their hearts beat violently as the giant eagle approached the ground.
“Another little girl?”
“What the hell are they up to?”
“Nonsense, what else could she be here for? KFC? Obviously, she’s here to pick up a kid.”
Abler’s eyes widened, “No way, I haven’t seen Sister Jing for years and her kid is already this old? But that can’t be right. If Sister Jing had a child, how co we haven’t heard anything about it?”
“What nonsense are you thinking about? Have so common sense, okay? We t Sister Jing just two years ago, and she was still on her own then. How could she possibly have a child?” Sha Te rolled his eyes at Abler in exasperation.
Abler patted his chest in relief. It was good that wasn’t the case.
As they were watching, the gates of the kindergarten opened, and the classes ca out in an orderly sequence.
“Look! That little girl!” Sha Te pulled out the picture again for comparison.
“That’s her! Get ready to move!”
“Captain, why does the Qian Family want us to snatch a little girl? She’s so cute, they wouldn’t want to kill her, would they?” Abler couldn’t help feeling so compassion.
“What’s with all the foolish talk? We’re rcenaries; this is our business. If you can’t stomach it, then you’re out.”
“Tch! I was just saying,” Abler shrugged off the comnt.
All those who had joined the rcenary squad were living life on the edge, savoring blood with every breath. It was unavoidable, given the turmoil in Country Yi.
If they could live a peaceful life, who would choose this existence of constant danger?
“She’s coming out! Now’s the ti! Move in!” Sha Te, with a stern killer’s expression, got out of the car.
The next second—
they saw Gan Qiqi trotting towards Qiao Jing with her little short legs.
“Sister Qiao!” Gan Qiqi hugged Qiao Jing’s legs warmly.
Qiao Jing pulled out a lollipop she had bought on the way and handed it to Gan Qiqi.
Gan Qiqi smiled sweeter than sugar, “Thank you, Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao is really nice, the very best in the world—the best—”
At this point, Gan Qiqi beca conflicted. “That is, besides my mom and dad!”
“Oh, and my brother is also great, but he cos after you,” Gan Qiqi added.
Qiao Jing couldn’t help but laugh and shook her head, then tousled Gan Qiqi’s little head. “You’d better not say that to your brother. I’m worried he might get jealous.”
“He won’t, if soone else was placed before him, he’d definitely get mad, but if it’s Sister Qiao, he definitely won’t. I guarantee it!” Gan Qiqi said, striking her little chest with the savvy of soone beyond her years.
Qiao Jing was once again amused by Gan Qiqi’s clever antics when suddenly, she caught sight of several familiar figures.
Turning her head, she saw that these people were all wearing uniform attire, their faces covered with masks, and donning goggles and hats.
“Is it you guys?” Qiao Jing took a few more glances before she recognized them.
Sha Te and the others were sowhat taken aback.
“Did you all co here specifically to find ? How did you know I was here?” Qiao Jing asked, puzzled.
Sha Te and his companions “…”
Qiao Jing, observing each person standing as still as a post, frowned. “You didn’t co specifically to find ?”
Indeed, what were the odds?
Speaking of which, she had co to pick up Gan Qiqi because Gan Lanlan was suddenly suffering from stomach pains. Otherwise, she would not have co at all.
“Wait a minute! Could it be that you’re here on a mission?” Qiao Jing narrowed her eyes and asked.
Abler scratched the back of his head, then removed the mask and goggles from his face. The others followed suit.
“Sister Jing, it’s not convenient to talk here. Let’s change locations,” Sha Te stepped forward and suggested.
Upon hearing Sha Te’s words, Qiao Jing looked down at Gan Qiqi, who was eating candy. Her starry eyes slightly drooping, she had already guessed most of it.
Inside the cafe.
Qiao Jing and Sha Te, along with the others, sat down face to face.
“Who hired you?”
Sha Te’s face showed difficulty.
“I understand, rcenary teams have their rules; even under the threat of death, they must not betray information, otherwise, they would beco the target of a industry-wide manhunt,” Qiao Jing was well aware of this.
“Yes, Sister Jing, you’ve been with our team before, you know the rules of our profession, so we really can’t reveal anything to you,” Sha Te sighed.
Qiao Jing’s eyebrows lifted, and she smiled. “You’re right, I’m also a mber of your team, so telling doesn’t count as leaking information to outsiders.”
Sha Te slapped his forehead, “Smart, Sister Jing, you’re the clever one! We blockheads didn’t think of that!”
“Captain, you call yourself a blockhead, don’t lump us in with you. We all have human brains,” Abler teased.
As soon as Abler finished speaking, Sha Te slapped the back of his head, “Get lost! We’re all on the sa team; if I’m a blockhead, so are all of you!”
“Hahaha—” The group burst into laughter.
“Right, Sister Jing, what are you planning to do next? Do you need our help?” Sha Te asked earnestly.
Qiao Jing set down her coffee and nodded.
The scene shifted.
The Qian Family and the rcenary team t at the factory near the docks as planned.
Qiao Jing held Gan Qiqi’s hand and encouraged her with words of comfort, “Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.”
