Chapter 749 Anticipation
Xi Mo: "..."
He opened his eyes and immediately noticed Zhouzhou's bright eyes, gleaming with the excitement of making money. He sat up, lifting the little chubby girl into a proper sitting position, frowning, "Are you still thinking about this?"
Zhouzhou nodded her little head vigorously, clutching her chest with a pitiful expression, "My heart hurts. Only money can make it better."
"I can't sleep without money."
But she had been sleeping all day.
Xi Mo knew these were just excuses. The truth was that the little girl couldn't stop thinking about money--she wasn't willing to miss out on even a single penny.
However, this matter was not so simple.
He shook his head resolutely, "No."
"You can't go. It's too dangerous, and Ye Lingfeng is already handling those people."
"That's exactly why we should go help Sharp Tongue Daddy!" Zhouzhou said softly.
Xi Mo remained unmoved, still shaking his head firmly despite Zhouzhou's constant begging and cajoling.
Finally, Zhouzhou had no choice. She rolled out of bed, put her hands on her chubby little waist, and said in an authoritative tone, "Uncle, this is the last time I'm going to ask you. Are you really not going?"
Xi Mo's expression remained firm, "No, I'm not going."
Going was absolutely out of the question, even if she asked him a hundred times.
Half an hour later.
A car slowly left the training base.
Zhouzhou's little head peeked out from the back seat, her face brimming with uncontrollable excitement.
"Uncle, Uncle! How long until we get there?"
Xi Mo was in the front, driving, his lips tightly pressed together, not wanting to speak.
He said that even Zhouzhou asked him a hundred times, he wouldn't go.
But who could have guessed she'd ask one more time than he was prepared for!
Someone please tell him why his sweet and obedient little niece was so persistent.
Recalling how Zhouzhou had whispered endlessly in his ear earlier, Xi Mo couldn't help but feel a surge of pain.
His precious Zhouzhou had been spoiled rotten by Ye Lingfeng and Qin Lie!
Seeing that he wasn't responding, Zhouzhou didn't mind. She swung her little legs and returned to her seat, counting on her fingers, "When we get the money, I'll give half to Uncle, and the rest can be split between my two dads."
This way, he would get fifty percent--more than Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng combined.
Thinking of this, Xi Mo's lips secretly curled into a smile, and his mood lightened.
Well, he wanted to deal with those who dared to harm Zhouzhou, too.
Ye Lingfeng let out a cold huff, sitting down in a nearby seat.
He had rented the entire plane, including replacing the crew with their own people, so there was no risk of their conversation leaking.
Glancing at Zhouzhou, his face darkened as he said, "Hmph, fine. I won't blame him--I'll blame myself."
"No, don't blame Daddy either." Zhouzhou hurriedly shook her head, unbuckled her seatbelt, and ran over to cling to his leg, acting cute, "Daddy, don't be mad."
Ye Lingfeng remained silent.
Seeing this, Zhouzhou grew even more anxious.
This was the first time her father had ignored her like this.
The little chubby girl finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and she was so distressed she was nearly in tears, continuously calling out "Daddy, Daddy."
Ye Lingfeng's heart ached for her, but worried that she would become too fearless in the future, he forced himself to maintain his stern expression.
Only when Zhouzhou's tears started to fall did he finally sigh, lifting her into his arms and setting her back in her seat, buckling her in and gently stroking her head.
What could he do with a daughter who was such a handful? He'd just have to spoil her.
At this point, Xi Mo spoke up, "I've already made arrangements there, everything is in place. There's no way Zhouzhou will be in danger."
Hearing this, Ye Lingfeng shot him a glance, squinting, "Are you sure? You don't even know who the enemy is, do you?"
That was true.
Xi Mo looked up at him, "Do you?"
"What do you think?"
Recalling who it was, Xi Mo's expression darkened with anger.
In truth, even if they didn't act today, he would never let that person go.
Ye Lingfeng handed him a file.
Xi Mo flipped through it, his face turning grim, "It's him?"
Harlo, one of the world's top three drug lords--cruel enough to have killed his own parents. After fleeing to the no man's land, he quickly gathered a group of followers and rose to his current power.
He was on the international most-wanted list.
"Didn't you take him down three years ago?"
Ye Lingfeng shook his head, "No, I couldn't kill him. I only blinded him. We were both severely injured, and he knew the no man's land better than I did, so I lost him."
After that, Harlo had gone quiet for years.
They had all assumed he had died in some forgotten corner.
But it turned out, he had been hiding in the shadows all along.
And now, he dared to target Zhouzhou!
