Chapter 163 Don't abandon me! (Seeking monthly votes)
Zhang Xu had bruises and swelling around his eyes, and scabs on his lips; he looked quite disheveled.
Xu Qingmo deliberately stopped him and asked curiously, "Who hit you on the face? Did someone dislike you and beat you up in the dark?"
"It's almost breakfast time, you should eat." Zhang Xu avoided her question and revealed the purpose of his visit.
Xu Qingmo, however, did not comply with his wishes. Instead, she stared intently at his face and asked curiously, "Who hit you? Tell me, I'm happy."
Zhou Tianyu happened to get up at that moment, heard the noise, and came over. He immediately saw the injury on Zhang Xu's face and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After being glared at by Zhang Xu, Zhou Tianyu cleverly hid behind Xu Qingmo and laughed even louder.
"Finally, someone dared to hit you. Serves you right," Zhou Tianyu revealed his thoughts.
Zhang Xu knew that Xu Qingmo was someone he couldn't afford to offend, but he could easily offend Zhou Tianyu.
Anyway, Xu Qingmo didn't like him either.
Driven by a desire to help others, Zhang Xu set his sights on Zhou Tianyu, saying, "Don't forget where you are right now. I still have the ability to make you cry here."
Zhou Tianyu immediately grabbed Xu Qingmo's sleeve and shook it from side to side, looking aggrieved. "Xu Qingmo, he threatened me."
"Don't threaten Zhou Tianyu. Although he's useless and a scoundrel, he still lives in the same compound as me. If you don't respect him, you don't respect me."
Even though the words were meant to defend him, Zhou Tianyu felt increasingly awkward listening to them.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Tianyu asked the question that had been bothering him, "Xu Qingmo, are you speaking up for me?"
"Am I not speaking up for you?" Xu Qingmo withdrew her arm directly. "If you're not satisfied, you can face Zhang Xu yourself. Don't hide behind me."
"No, no, no, I don't want to. I feel safest hiding behind you." Zhou Tianyu didn't care about anything else. Xu Qingmo was his boss now. As long as he followed in Xu Qingmo's footsteps, he would definitely live a life of luxury.
Seeing that Xu Qingmo was standing up for Zhou Tianyu, Zhang Xu stopped making things difficult for Zhou Tianyu.
He reminded them again, "Breakfast is ready, you can eat now. I've already conveyed the message, whether you eat or not is up to you."
"Hey, you're pretty arrogant!" Zhou Tianyu watched Zhang Xu turn around and walk far away before he mustered up the courage to confront him.
Xu Qingmo didn't mind; she was indeed hungry. "Let's go eat."
Zhou Tianyu's previous stern expression vanished, replaced by a charming smile as he looked at Xu Qingmo. "Okay, let's go together."
Xu Qingmo and Zhou Tianyu went to the leader's room, where ten dishes were already laid out on the table, a very generous spread of meat and vegetables.
Looking at the food on the table, Zhou Tianyu was momentarily lost in thought. If he could keep eating, would he finish all their food? Would that count as a merit?
Zhou Tianyu suddenly realized something and stared at Xu Qingmo with wide eyes.
It turns out that Xu Qingmo suddenly wanted to eat ten dishes at every meal in order to eat these people out of their lives, so that when their people attacked, these people would have no food to eat and would have to surrender.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tianyu looked at Xu Qingmo with eyes full of admiration.
She's only five years old, yet she can come up with such a vicious method. She truly lives up to her name, Xu Qingmo.
However, Zhou Tianyu couldn't reveal this in front of so many people.
Xu Qingmo had already sat down and started eating.
After Xu Qingmo had finished eating and drinking, the man in the lead asked, "Are you getting used to being here?"
"To be honest, I'm not used to it yet. I need to stay for a couple more days. I only think about making explosives once I'm used to the environment," Xu Qingmo said earnestly.
Although many people thought this was pure nonsense, no one dared to refute it.
After all, their top leader hasn't said anything.
"Then you can stay here for two more days. I hope to hear you say you're used to it the day after tomorrow. Don't disappoint me." The leading man spoke with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Xu Qingmo met his gaze, "Why does it have to be the day after tomorrow? Can't it be the day after that?"
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The man in the lead stared at Xu Qingmo, and Xu Qingmo stared back at him. Their eyes met, creating a palpable sense of oppression.
Other adults didn't dare to make eye contact with the man in the lead for more than three seconds, but Xu Qingmo stared at him for more than a minute.
Zhou Tianyu was secretly worried for Xu Qingmo, and he even thought of his last words.
Suddenly, the man in the lead chuckled, "This little girl is right up my alley. She's got a lot of personality. I wish she were my daughter."
“You wouldn’t have such a lovely daughter, I’m telling you,” Xu Qingmo retorted directly.
Some people couldn't stand it anymore, saying, "Little girl, don't speak so harshly. Remember where you are right now, don't lose your life because of your recklessness."
"If I lose my life, I lose it. That just means that's my fate in this life," Xu Qingmo said frankly.
The other person choked, and the leader couldn't help but clap and cheer, "You've taken it all in stride, I admire your attitude."
"I'm so full, I need to go for a walk." Xu Qingmo jumped off the chair, ignoring the people around her, and strolled outside.
Not long after Xu Qingmo and Zhou Tianyu left, the leading man arranged for his men to follow them.
"Go see where they went."
"A five-year-old girl must have been frightened by the leader's imposing manner and went out to play. There's nothing worth following her."
The man in the lead glanced at the other person and asked, "Who's the leader, you or me?"
"Of course it's you."
"A five-year-old girl who can conjure explosives with her bare hands, do you really consider her an ordinary child?"
"The leader is right to reprimand me. I'll go now."
Xu Qingmo went out the door, and Zhou Tianyu followed her, chattering incessantly.
"Although you are very capable, you should remember that you still have me by your side. If you offend a big shot, they may not do anything to you, but they might take it out on me."
"So you knew you were a burden." Xu Qingmo was quite pleased with Zhou Tianyu's sudden display of self-awareness.
Back when they lived in the family compound, Zhou Tianyu was the most self-righteous.
Now that he's in enemy territory, and given that Zhou Tianyu has been tricked and taken advantage of before, he could lose his life at any moment, so he dares not be careless.
"I am indeed a burden, but I am a burden who values my life. Since you have rescued Song Wei, can you rescue me as well?" Zhou Tianyu clasped his hands together, almost kneeling down to Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo glanced at him sideways and shook her head. "I don't like you right now, and I don't want to leave here alive with you."
Zhou Tianyu felt his blood run cold. Xu Qingmo didn't want to save him, and his death would definitely be accelerated.
"Xu Qingmo, don't abandon me!"
