The boss must be Mu Jin; she's a good subordinate.

However, Jiu Yebai took two steps back and asked, "Where are you injured?"

This woman is incredibly strong and skilled. He saw it last night; she wasn't injured. What's the point of lying to him now?

Hibari pursed her lips. "Next."

"Not for now."

Jiu Yebai's mind went blank for two seconds before she suddenly realized where she was talking about.

He looked as if he had been thrown into boiling water and was steaming red.

Can that area also get injured?

Jiu Yebai was completely at a loss. He suddenly turned around and ran out quickly, bumping into a wall along the way.

Hibari, left in the room: "..."

Why did he run away again?

Can she leave now? Will the boss come to find her in person?

After hesitating for two seconds, the lark remained still.

About half an hour later, Jiu Yebai returned.

He threw a plastic bag on the bed, then slapped his forehead in frustration.

He was just about to untie the rope, but he forgot...

What are you going to do now?

This time, Jiu Yebai didn't waste any words and told her directly, "I'll untie the ropes for you."

"Yeah."

Just as Jiu Yebai was still trying to figure out how to untie the rope, it came undone by itself...

No, to be precise, it was Hibari who solved it himself...

Jiu Yebai straightened up, his face expressionless. "Why were you able to untie it yourself?"

Lark said, "This is an essential skill for intelligence personnel."

Jiu Yebai nodded and pointed to the plastic bag he had brought back, "You...use it as you please."

After saying that, Jiu Yebai walked out with a blank face.

His nerves were finally starting to give out after more than ten hours of this ordeal.

Yun Que picked up the plastic bag, which was full of medicines, both oral and topical, with similar effects; there were more than a dozen of each.

Jiu Yebai probably bought every medicine available at the pharmacy.

The corners of Lark's mouth slowly turned up, then quickly fell back down, but she did seem to have smiled.

-------------------------------------

The cat decided to go to Flying Scorpion.

Since the exhibits are there, she should go there herself.

However, she didn't plan to take action directly; she wanted to go and see what was going on first and figure out the situation.

She needed to find out whether someone had just taken a liking to the museum and sold it to Flying Scorpion, or whether Flying Scorpion had planned this from the beginning.

After learning of her thoughts, Mu Jin sent a visiting card to Fei Xie.

"Ah Jin, will Flying Scorpion give you that kind of face?" Cat asked.

Mu Jin nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes."

Jiu Zhongsheng said, "Isn't it a bit too risky for you to go to the Flying Scorpion's base?"

The cat said, "Don't worry, Dad, I'm not going to fight... Even if I were to fight, I wouldn't lose. You and Mom can wait here, or you can go out and play."

They probably aren't in the mood for playing games.

Before we knew it, it was evening again.

Jiu Yebai, whom we hadn't seen for a day, appeared. He had slept all day and was now in much better spirits.

He no longer seemed as absent-minded as he had been in the morning.

They ate dinner together.

The cat ate very little, so she kept watching Jiu Ye Bai.

Jiu Yebai finally felt uncomfortable being stared at. Taking advantage of Jiu Zhongsheng and Ziying's inattention, Jiu Yebai put his hands together and made a gesture to the cat.

Could you please give him some face?

The cat finally looked away.

"Is something wrong?" Jiu Zhongsheng suddenly asked. He had a keen sense that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little strange.

Jiu Yebai quickly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. We're going to Feixie, and I was thinking of going with Maomao and my brother-in-law."

Jiu Zhongsheng nodded, "You can go, but be careful."

Jiu Yebai nodded.

And so, that was the deal.

...

The next day, Mu Jin drove the SUV there. Cat sat in the passenger seat, and Jiu Yebai and Yun Que sat in the back seat.

Yun Que changed her clothes, wearing black overalls and sporting short, ear-length hair; she looked cooler than any man.

Jiu Yebai leaned back in his seat, wearing sunglasses, and either slept or rested with his eyes closed.

He hadn't expected that Lark would be there today.

The lark, however, sat perfectly still.

Mu Jin drives very steadily, and the car performs very well. Even when entering the desert and kicking up dust, the ride is not bumpy.

Mu Jin said to the cat, "If you're bored, take a nap. It'll be more than an hour."

The cat shook its head. "I'm going to sleep. Wouldn't Ah Jin be even more bored?"

Mu Jin said, "I can't."

The cat took out its phone, leaned closer, and took a selfie.

She originally wanted to post on Weibo, but she opened it and then closed it. She no longer likes haters pointing fingers at her and Ajin.

Then I posted a message on my WeChat Moments without any text, because I couldn't think of anything to say.

She rarely posts on WeChat Moments, yet she gets tons of likes instantly.

Kino: Honeymoon is possible.

Ye Mingshi: This isn't a honeymoon, my brother's being cheeky again.

Gu Zeyi: I think you're asking for trouble, daring to say that about your older brother @Ye Mingshi

Gu Qiuyan: Calling other people's older brothers more often than your own, they're all just adopted kids. @Gu Zeyi

Gu Xiaoliu: Big brother, aren't you busy today? @Gu Qiuyan

Jiu Yunchi: No nesting dolls allowed

Jiu Yunchi: Hehe, big brother @Jiu Yunchi

Madam Mu: The little ones get along so well, they're all older brothers. Even Jin the Second already has a wife, you all better hurry up and find someone!

It was quite lively at first, but a single sentence from Old Madam Mu brought everything to a standstill.

The cat was staring at the phone, and it seemed quite happy.

Mu Jin couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? You seem so happy."

Cat looked at Mu Jin: "The old lady is pressuring me to get married... Why is she pressuring me to get married?"

Mu Jin smiled and said, "When people get old, they are eager to hold their grandchildren. Humans like to have offspring and keep their bloodline going."

Cat: "Oh."

She suddenly thought for a moment and asked, "Has your mother-in-law been pressuring you to have a baby?"

This... has come back to haunt us.

How should I put Mu Jin?

"I urged them," Mu Jin said.

The cat exclaimed in surprise, "Then what should we do? Ah Jin, are you going to have the baby or not?"

The lark in the back seat remained perfectly steady.

Jiu Yebai shifted uncomfortably. Why was Maomao discussing having children with Mu Jin?

Why have a child? She's still a child herself.

Don't give birth!

"If you like it, then have it," Mu Jin surprisingly said.

The cat frowned, trying hard to imagine what a human baby would look like, but in the end, it couldn't come up with a picture.

So she said, "I don't know... but, Ah Jin, I can't have children, can you?"
