Chapter 20

Jiaojiao, who was very sensitive to her father's every move, looked up and followed Yin Zheng's gaze, and then saw Luo Andeli on the ceiling.

Luo Andeli, who was desperately waving his hands to signal Yin Zheng not to say anything, withdrew his hands seriously the moment he met Jiaojiao's gaze.

Jiaojiao quickly ran into the living room with her short legs and raised her head with great effort to look at the person on the ceiling: "Uncle Luo An, Jiaojiao found you."

Luo Andeli jumped down from the ceiling, squatted down, and took Jiaojiao, who was lying on the ground with his head tilted back, into his arms. He pinched his little face with a bit of reluctance, then said with a sly smile, "Tell me, what gift do you want?"

Jiaojiao's eyes sparkled as she said, "Uncle praised Jiaojiao and said that she was amazing."

"That's it?"

"Yeah." He nodded his head vigorously.

"How can this be?" Luo Andeli helped Jiaojiao stand up straight. A dazzled smile flashed in his emerald eyes as he spoke in a high-pitched voice, "We're going to be the ones who dominate the inner and outer cities. We'll definitely dominate the kindergarten. When you introduce yourself to others, you must say this: I'm not only the most powerful, beautiful, adorable, and outstanding kid in the inner and outer cities of Sala, but also in the world."

After hearing a long string of compliments, Jiaojiao felt dizzy and raised her hands to cover her little face in embarrassment. The corners of her eyes that appeared between her fingers were curved, and her dark eyes seemed to be filled with bright broken stars.

This happy yet shy little look is really rare to see.

Luo Andeli raised the corner of his mouth and poked the dimple on the back of Jiaojiao's hand: "Are you shy already?"

"No, I'm not shy." Jiaojiao, who had recovered a little, shook her head. She lowered her hands from her face and reached for Luo Andeli's hand. Her little voice was filled with joy: "Uncle Luo An, it's time to find Jiaojiao. Cover your eyes and count."

Wow, you still remember to play! Looks like you weren't overwhelmed by the praise.

Luo Andeli rubbed Jiaojiao's head randomly and said, "Hide quickly. I can count very quickly."

He raised his hands to cover his eyes as he spoke, listening to the distinctive clattering footsteps beside his ears. He curled his lips and said, "Let's change the rules this time. If you're caught, you'll get a spanking."

After clearly hearing Jiaojiao's panicked footsteps, Luo Andeli grinned and pretended to cough twice. To make himself look less like a bully, he hypocritically blocked his hearing: "Eight, nine, ten."

After the last sound landed, Luo Andeli removed his hand that was covering his eyes. He slowly stood up from the ground, with a villain's unique smile on his face, and deliberately raised his voice and said, "Uncle is here to look for Jiaojiao. If you find her, I'll spank her."

He could imagine Jiaojiao hiding in a corner with her butt huddled in fear.

Luo Andeli walked slowly to the sofa with a malicious look, then suddenly leaned over to look at the back of the sofa and raised his voice, "I caught you!"

Jiaojiao, who was hiding somewhere, shrank back in fear when she heard this.

"Huh? No?" Looking at the empty back of the sofa, Luo Andeli raised his eyebrows in surprise.

You’re quite good at hiding!

"Well, is it here?" He suddenly squatted down and looked under the sofa.

After finding that there was no one there, he suddenly turned his head and looked under the table. No one there either?

Luo Andeli became interested and quickened his pace. After checking behind the door, behind the curtains, in the bathroom, the washing machine, the quilt in the bedroom, under the bed, in the wardrobe, and in the kitchen, he still couldn't find it.

He began to rummage through all the drawers and cabinets, and what was outrageous was that he even looked in the refrigerator. He even stared at the ceiling for a long time, walked out of the house and climbed onto the roof to look for it. When he couldn't find it, he also searched through the bushes in the yard.

What the hell?

Where can such a small thing hide?

Puzzled, Luo Andeli stood in the yard and patrolled. Finally, he returned to the house and searched again. After finding nothing, he walked back to the yard.

He cast his gaze towards the gate of the yard and thought hesitantly, could it be that the little guy has hidden outside the yard?

Luo Andeli jumped onto the courtyard wall, took a quick look at the alley outside, and when he saw nothing, he jumped down again.

After hesitating for a while, he looked at Yin Zheng who was busy making something out of wood, thinking that he might be able to seek some off-field support.

Having abandoned the arrogance that only adults have when it comes to playing games, Luo Andeli made up his mind and was about to ask something when his eyes fell on Yin Zheng's slightly fat belly.

He glanced at Yin Zheng's serious expression, then looked at his belly which was fatter than usual and Jiaojiao's faintly exposed feet, and almost laughed out loud.

Good, you little brat are quite good at hiding, aren't you? It's so hard for him to find you!

Luo Andeli, with a smile on his face, stepped forward, squatted down, and under Yin Zheng's deathly gaze, reached out and grabbed Jiaojiao's exposed foot and pulled it out: "Hey, did you see what I grabbed?"

"Hehehe..." Jiaojiao laughed as she was pulled out of her father's clothes. With her hair all messy and sticky, she stood on the ground. He covered his butt with his hands and pleaded eagerly, "No, no spanking."

"That won't do. You have to accept the penalty if you lose." Luo Andeli said with a nasty smile.

Jiaojiao tilted her head and thought for a while, then turned around, released one of the hands covering her buttocks, and softly asked, "How about hitting the other side?"

Luo Andeli chuckled and said, "That won't do. The bad uncle will fight both sides."

In the end, Jiaojiao, who was spanked twice, touched her own butt and curled her eyebrows when she found that it didn't hurt at all.

Uncle Luo An was just teasing him and wasn't really going to hit him.

…

At night, Jiaojiao, who had played all day, slept soundly, and her fair and tender little face was curved because she lay on her side.

Yin quietly moved him out of his arms, and before leaving in the night, he couldn't help but turn around and poke Jiaojiao's face.

Yin Zheng wrote down the people who tried to send him away from the hospital during the day and the people who followed him later, and asked Luo Andeli for their information.

They are all some upper-middle class families in the inner and outer cities, and all they do is to curry favor with the Fang and Ji families in the central city.

But no matter what their purpose is, Yin Zheng can't tolerate it as long as they focus their attention on Jiaojiao.

Under the night sky, Yin Zheng's intact right eye was dark and lifeless. His body was slightly bent, and his tense shoulders and back showed extremely explosive muscle lines. He was like a top predator walking in the darkness, pouncing on his prey quickly and silently.

Not long after, Yin Zheng returned to the courtyard and took a cold shower to wash away the smell of blood on his body. When he walked towards the room, he hesitated for a while and turned back to take a hot shower.

After taking a hot shower and changing into pajamas, Yin Zheng lay down on the bed. He reached out and took Jiaojiao, who was sleeping soundly on the pillow, into his arms before he fell asleep peacefully.

He did not take ruthless action this time because he was worried that if he did, the remaining survivors of the family would risk everything for revenge. If it were just him, he would certainly not be afraid, but now that he had Jiaojiao, leaving some room for maneuver was the right choice.

So Yin Zheng just beat up those people he remembered during the day and the people who gave the orders behind the scenes, breaking half of their bones very accurately. It would probably take at least half a year or a year to recover.

In a border town, especially one like Sala which is very close to the Endless Sea, people will die if they are not ruthless and strong, but if they are too ruthless and strong, they will also be feared and retaliated against.

This is what Yin Zheng figured out after living in Sala Outer City for so many years.

In the past, because of his own strength and recklessness, the revenge from those who could not do anything to him was limited to various forms of rejection and petty tricks.

For example, the contribution value he needed to apply for an out-of-city resident ID card was twice that of others. For example, the price of the alien cores he sold would be reduced by half, so he later sold them on the black market. Although he would be charged a higher handling fee, he still made a profit in comparison.

However, these attacks are of no concern to Yin Zheng, and he usually chooses to ignore them.

But things are different after Jiaojiao appears. The means and revenges against him are likely to be directed against Jiaojiao. Of course, this is only if Jiaojiao is important enough to him.

This time, all the attempts by the medical staff and those who were following him to get rid of him in the hospital were just superficial tests. They were testing whether the child Jiaojiao was important to him.

Yin Zheng did not plan to stay in Sala City for long. If he wanted to give Jiaojiao a safe enough living environment, he could not stay in Sala City forever. So he warned them in such a cruel but not without room for maneuver, warning them not to pay attention to Jiaojiao, otherwise they should remember to sleep with their eyes open at night.

This way, at least before leaving Sala City, we can ensure that they will not risk everything for revenge while they are busy looking for trouble.

The night passed quickly, and when the first ray of sunlight fell in the early morning, Xi Fang also learned what had happened last night.

He looked at the miserable appearance of those people lying on the hospital beds on the virtual screen, and tasted the freshly ground coffee in his hand in amazement.

Didn’t these people think about what they would encounter before taking action?

How dare you stay in the outer city so recklessly? If you provoke someone you shouldn't or can't afford to provoke, the best option is to hide in a safe enough place.

But Yin Zheng is a bit tricky. It seems that he really doesn't want to hand the child over to them.

Judging from the information I have found, neither coercion nor inducement seems to be of any use. So far, the only thing that can make him choose to compromise seems to be that child. It seems that we have to start with that child.

If the child is willing to go with them, I believe Yin Zheng will not stop him.

Xi Fang drank the coffee in his hand in one gulp, walked outside to find Fang Xingqiao, and took him towards the chaotic area.

First of all, we have to build friendship!

The friendship between children has always been the purest and the most inseparable.
