Chapter 200 Sneaking Away to Find Him

"The heads of these two families said they could give me 30% of the power. If that's still not enough, I have plenty of other smaller families to help me."

As he spoke, Ao Cang slid the long contact ID up from the bottom.

Xu Wenfeng knew about half of them.

As for those things we don't know about, we shouldn't underestimate them either.

After all, everything accumulates little by little, and some forces are no exception.

“When I was still very powerful, I gave these people’s families some protection, so don’t worry, they won’t help me. If you think that’s not enough, you can set a standard, and I will meet it as soon as possible.”

Frankly speaking, all of this support, taken together, is equivalent to half of the Xu family's wealth.

Ao Cang himself is a god who has lived from the past to the present. Looking at it now, it's not that he is unworthy of Qiao Mei, but that Qiao Mei is unworthy of him.

Xu Wenfeng looked at the long list, remained silent for a while, and then patted Ao Cang on the shoulder: "It's enough, but our current enemy is quite powerful. It's still a bit lacking to protect Xiao Mei and the others with just this. Has Xiao Mei taken care of your identity?"

Hearing this, Ao Cang was basically certain that he had passed Xu Wenfeng's test, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly changed the subject and asked about this.

He touched the sweat on his palms from nervousness and answered truthfully.

Xu Wenfeng then asked many more questions, and Ao Cang answered them all.

Finally, Xu Wenfeng mentioned his plan to have Qiao Mei join the interstellar army.

"Now that you can appear in human form, why don't you come in with her? Unlike the Federal Academy, the military doesn't require you to bring your familiars outside every day. You yourself are the familiar, so it will be more convenient for you."

Ao Cang had no objection: "Of course, but I still want to ask An An what she thinks about the Federal Academy."

To be honest, he still wanted to go with Qiao Mei.

Compared to the interstellar army, which she hadn't yet visited, the Federal Academy offered Qiao Mei a much greater chance of encountering men with ill intentions towards her.

Xu Wenfeng had been young once too, so of course he could see where the apprehension in Ao Cang's golden eyes came from.

After nodding, he was allowed to go out and choose a room to sleep in.

"Huh? Don't I sleep with An'an?"

The boy was a little confused. Xu Wenfeng glanced at him and said, "You've become a human now, and you're not the same as before. Even if you and Xiao Mei are now boyfriend and girlfriend, you can't sleep in the same room anymore."

Qiao Mei had not told him about this before, and Xu Hui had not specifically emphasized it either, so Ao Cang was unaware of it.

After listening to what Xu Wenfeng said, when he went out to see Qiao Mei, he was like a wilted plant, repeating everything Xu Wenfeng had told him.

When the conversation turned to the part about Xu Wenfeng not letting him sleep with her, he felt wronged and rested his head on her shoulder, his large hands unconsciously reaching out to touch her hands, his fingertips slipping into hers, their fingers intertwined.

"An'an, I've never slept apart from you before..."

He didn't say directly that he wanted to continue sleeping with Qiao Mei, but his tone, expression, and actions clearly showed his reluctance.

Looking at him like this, Qiao Mei had the illusion that her pet kitten was being forcibly taken away from her, and that the kitten wasn't even allowed to hug her.

Feeling sorry for him, she reached out and gently stroked his fluffy silver curly hair.

Just as they were about to say something, they noticed that Xu Wenfeng was standing not far away, staring at them with a deathly gaze.

Qiao Mei: "........."

How come she never noticed before that her grandfather was so elusive and frightening?

With Xu Wenfeng standing there watching, Qiao Mei couldn't say anything to Ao Cang, so she could only sigh and tell him to go back to the room prepared for him.

........

"Master, this Cang Ao seems so inferior to you, how could Qiao Mei have taken a liking to him?"

The little white wolf, Zhui Feng, looked at the data on the quantum computer that Xu Heyu was looking at, its wolf eyes full of confusion.

Xu Heyu didn't quite understand either. After reading the information, she rubbed her temples with a headache.

"The most important thing now is not how Qiao Mei took a liking to him, but when he suddenly appeared without my noticing at all."

The young man looked at Ao Cang's headshot on the computer's data, and after staring at the "distant relative of the merchant" section of his identity for a while, he suddenly remembered something. He opened the small group that Shang Duojin had previously added him to and added his private computer ID.

Shang Duojin was probably playing with his personal computer, so he quickly accepted his friend request and asked what was wrong.

Xu Heyu: [Little Rose's new boyfriend is your distant cousin, right?]

After reading the message, Shang Duojin paused for a moment, then lied for Qiao Mei, saying, "Yes, he's my cousin. What's wrong?"

Xu Heyu: [If that's the case, then that makes things easier. There are a few things I'd like to ask you.]

At the same time, at the Xu family's old residence.

Qiao Mei glanced at the time and saw that it was already past ten o'clock. She quietly got out of bed and used her lightning companions and the ability to hack into the control system to temporarily disable the surveillance. She then slipped into Ao Cang's room.

This was the first time Ao Cang had slept separately from Qiao Mei. He was not sleepy at all and suddenly missed Qiao Mei terribly.

He sat there in the moonlight, stroking the ring and necklace that Qiao Mei had given him.

"Knock knock........"
