Li Ke stood aside, looking at Chen Jiaojiao and then at Fu Hao, curious as if watching a show about what kind of dramatic story these two had.

Seeing his nephew gagged, Fu Hua feared he wouldn't be able to speak either, so he quickly said to Mo Qing, "Patriarch Mo, have you forgotten my identity? I'm a member of the military. Are you trying to go against the higher-ups by tying us up?"

Mo Qing looked at Fu Hua: "Your identity is now very clear. You're just a gang of bandits. How could the military act like you?"

Fu Hua still insisted: "My identity is the local director. Master Mo, your family is so powerful and wealthy. Seeing the difficulties our military is facing, you should have helped us. But you have repeatedly made excuses and been reluctant to lend a hand. We had no choice but to resort to this tactic."

Mo Qing smiled faintly upon hearing this: "I hope your subordinates can be as stubborn as you. If it is indeed confirmed that you are from the military, I will naturally take further action."

Fu Hua was immediately speechless. He was eloquent and persuasive, but if his subordinates asked a few more questions, they would eventually expose his deception.

Mo Zuo then spoke to Mo Qing, saying, "Patriarch, the young master and I were able to be rescued this time thanks to the help of this Brother Li. If it weren't for his assistance, we would probably have nowhere to go."

Mo Qing had already set his sights on Li Ke, and seeing that Li Ke was wearing a helmet to cover his face, he showed no surprise.

"I've already heard from Cheng'er. I really want to thank you for your kind help this time. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask, and we will do our best to meet your needs," Mo Qing said gently.

Li Ke replied indifferently, "It's just a small favor, and it's not something I offered. There is indeed a need. Let me go to your base and take a look before we talk about it."

Mo Qing, on the other side, showed no displeasure at Li Ke's impolite words: "Young brother, we are naturally very happy to welcome you to our base."

Someone came in to report the situation, and Li Ke automatically walked to the side, while Mo Cheng and Mo Bao'er also stood to the side.

Mo Bao'er asked Li Ke with a smile, "I wonder what Brother Li's name is? We're all our own people here now. If you feel stuffy in your helmet, you can take it off."

In fact, Mo Bao'er was quite curious about her younger brother's benefactor, surnamed Li, and now that she had a moment, she asked him in a low voice.

Before Li Ke could speak, Chen Jiaojiao, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly snorted disdainfully and whispered, "Maybe her face is ruined, or she's so ugly she can't be seen in public, otherwise why would she dress up in such a strange way?"

Although Chen Jiaojiao has a dark past with Fu Hao, her mother is now a benefactor of the Mo family, and she knows that the Mo family will no longer pursue her matter. When she sees Li Ke being thanked by the Mo family many times, she feels somewhat dissatisfied.

Although Chen Jiaojiao's voice was soft, Li Ke and Mo Bao'er managed to hear a few scattered notes. However, before they could speak, Li Zhenzhen frowned and scolded Chen Jiaojiao, "Shut up! Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

Chen Jiaojiao lowered her head, her eyes filled with resentment, but she dared not say anything more.

Li Zhenzhen apologized to Li Ke: "I'm sorry, my daughter is too willful. I will discipline her more. I apologize for offending you, Brother Li. Please forgive me."

Li Ke looked at his biological mother. She looked a little more haggard than before, but she was still a beauty. Although she had aged, she had become even more charming.

Even Li Ke couldn't help but feel grateful that God truly favored Li Zhenzhen.
