Li Zixiao also rushed over to serve Gu Momo tea and water, respectfully offering it with both hands: "Mommy, don't be angry, okay?"
He spoke cautiously, his bright black eyes filled with sincerity. Gu Momo immediately deflated when she saw that look in his eyes!
It really is a baby that came out of her own belly. No matter how cute it is, she still needs to feel at ease.
"You two, why aren't you going to face the wall and reflect on your mistakes?" Li Zhanting's authoritative voice rang out, his handsome face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Gu Jingxing and Li Zixiao were so frightened that they trembled all over. Their father's face was too scary!
"Daddy..." Gu Jingxing hurriedly tried to go up and repeat his old trick, but was interrupted by Li Zhanting's cold voice: "Why aren't you going yet?"
Although his voice was stern, everyone could hear the deep concern and heartache in his words.
Gu Jingxing's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Why does Daddy act like he's swallowed a bomb too?"
Li Zhanting laughed in exasperation: "Because your mother is angry!"
Gu Jingxing and Li Zixiao were filled with countless question marks: ???
"Daddy, are you a henpecked husband?" Gu Jingxing couldn't help but tease. "Are you angry because Mommy is angry too?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhanting was both angry and amused: "Where would you two be without your mother? Go and reflect on your mistakes! I'll deal with you later tonight. You two go inside and write a hundred self-criticisms! No cutting corners, understand?"
"Alright!" Gu Jingxing and Li Zixiao ran faster than each other, their little faces full of slyness at having escaped a disaster.
At night, Daddy and Mommy want to enjoy themselves in their room, so how can anyone control them?
They really are blessed with their mother's good fortune!
The two quickly ran away, leaving only Li Zhanting, Gu Momo, Louis, and others at the scene.
Upon seeing Li Zhanting and Gu Momo, Louis's eyes lit up with surprise and delight, and he excitedly stepped forward:
"Are you Mr. Li and Miss Gu? Thanks to your children, our family was able to escape! Please tell me the Queen's whereabouts, Mr. Li and Miss Gu. We want to invite the Queen back to the palace. I won't stand for that fake Queen sitting on the throne for even a day longer!"
Gu Momo and Li Zhanting exchanged glances, then turned to invite Louis, "This way, please."
The two took Louis to see Queen Shao Siran and also investigated Louis's background, which turned out to be relatively innocent.
However, there isn't a perfect opportunity for Gu Momo and Li Zhanting to enter the palace, so they still need to come up with a foolproof plan!
Gu Momo continued gathering information on the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, staying up until night. She drifted off to sleep at her desk, only to be awakened by the ringing of the phone. As soon as she answered, her subordinate on the other end raised his voice:
"Boss, something terrible has happened!"
"What happened?"
In order to investigate the matter of the Emperor-Killing Alliance, Gu Momo specially arranged for her good friend Fu Ying to secretly carry it out.
The person who called was Fu Ying's special assistant, An Te. Gu Momo subconsciously felt a little flustered, worried that this matter might be related to Fu Ying.
Sure enough, Ant's next sentence confirmed her guess.
"Something might have happened to Sister Fuying. Today she went out to investigate the underground operations of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance in Country Y, but she lost contact with us after she left and we can't reach her at all. I wanted to contact Assistant Yi, but he seems to have something important on his end and hasn't been answering the phone. I'm so worried about Sister Fuying's safety that I had no choice but to contact you directly."
"Where did she go?" Gu Momo asked, grabbing the car keys from the table and walking towards the door.
"In the slums on the western outskirts of the capital, Fu Ying discovered that Dark Moon was using the poor for organ trafficking, so he went there to investigate. But he hasn't been able to contact her since she went out last night!" Ante suspected that Gu Momo was going to go alone and quickly advised, "Boss, those are all Dark Moon's people. You absolutely can't go alone!"
"That's Fuying, not someone else!" Gu Momo hung up the phone and headed straight for the underground parking garage.
Fu Ying was a good friend that Gu Momo met many years ago in the Dark Moon Organization's training camp. After Gu Momo became the head of the Glazed Pavilion, she took Fu Ying out of the training camp, and Fu Ying has been working for Gu Momo ever since.
Even though they were in a superior-subordinate relationship at work, Gu Momo had long regarded her as family.
She would never allow her family and friends to suffer even the slightest harm.
Gu Momo got into the driver's seat, fastened her seatbelt, and sped away from the Yin family's house.
"Fuying, you must stay safe and wait for me!"
Western suburbs of the capital.
On a highway blocked by public barriers, Fu Ying was driving a pink BMW Mini, sticking her head out from the driver's seat.
She has a cute princess cut hairstyle, and her jet-black hair makes her skin look rosy and delicate. When she smiles, she has two shallow dimples. Her cute baby face is charming and lovely, just like a delicate doll in a shop window.
"Uncle, what's going on up ahead? Why can't we pass?" Her voice was soft and charming.
The group of royal guards exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat uneasy. One of them stepped forward and said with a smile, "Oh, it's like this, there was a car accident up ahead, the scene was rather gruesome. If you want to go to the western suburbs, young lady, you'll have to take a detour. But judging from your appearance, dressed so smartly, you don't seem like you come from the slums, do you?"
"Of course not! But I have a friend who lives over there, and he said his mother has been sick recently, so I brought some gifts to visit her." Fu Ying said, picking up a bouquet of flowers and a small cake from the passenger seat, and then pleaded in a super cute voice, "Big brother, could you please make an exception and let me through? I promise, I won't be watching a car accident later!"
The man glanced at his colleague behind him, seemingly waiting for a hint. After receiving permission, he waved his hand with feigned reluctance, "Alright, alright, I'll let you go since you're so cute. But you absolutely mustn't tell anyone that you went to the slums through this road today, or we'll lose our clothes."
Fu Ying smiled innocently and raised her hand to assure them, "Don't worry, how could I bear to betray such a handsome young man!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she rolled up the car window, and the shy smile on her face instantly froze.
Although this group of people were dressed in royal guard uniforms, they did not act like royal guards at all. When she tried to pass by the crime scene, they did not ask her identity or ask her to show her documents, but let her pass directly. This was extremely suspicious.
Although Fuying had some doubts, she still started the vehicle and drove it in after they lifted the roadblocks.
