Fang Qingdai groaned inwardly, but her smile remained unchanged.
"Please speak!"
Mao Ling turned and closed the doors and windows, took a deep breath, and then lowered her voice to ask, "Your space can hold living things, right?"
Fang Qingdai was stunned for a moment, and her expression gradually darkened.
Mao Ling investigated her, and that was after she had completed her superpower certification and shone brightly.
In other words, the investigation wasn't simply motivated by fear that his nephew might make bad friends.
It wouldn't be difficult to investigate the fact that Fang Qingdai's space can hold living beings. Tian Pingwei has many photos that prove Fang Qingdai herself can enter the space.
In addition, Xiao Mao had met Jing Yi before, and if he were to investigate, he would know that Jing Yi had appeared in the shantytown quietly.
Too many people know about the conflict with Wang Fang's family, so it wouldn't be difficult to investigate.
Fang Qingdai pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, but my space is not large and there is not enough oxygen inside, so living things cannot stay for too long."
Fang Qingdai carefully set the preconditions, just in case Mao Ling's request was too difficult.
Mao Ling breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly grabbed Fang Qingdai's hand, her eyes pleading: "I want to beg you, please secretly send my sister out of the Xuanwu Base!"
Fang Qingdai was stunned for a second before she realized that Mao Ling's sister was Xiao Mao's mother.
Xiao Mao's mother is the daughter of the former base chief, her husband is a high-ranking member of the base who now manages a superpowered group, and her younger sister is a rare healing-type superpowered individual.
No matter what, staying at the base should ensure they have enough to eat and drink.
What was the reason that Mao Ling begged him to smuggle people out of the base?
After being sent out of the base, how will a woman whose superpowers have malfunctioned and whose body is severely depleted survive?
Fang Qingdai was full of questions, but she only asked, "Why did you choose me?"
Fang Qingdai and Xiao Mao had a good relationship, but upon closer reflection, their relationship initially consisted only of transactions. It was Xiao Mao who was overly friendly and approached her, and through his many acts of kindness, Fang Qingdai gradually came to accept him as her younger brother.
However, Fang Qingdai has not actually done anything to show that she values Xiao Mao.
Since Mao Ling had already investigated, why would she easily believe her?
Could it be that he didn't care much about Xiao Mao's mother's life or death, which is why he believed her so easily?
Mao Ling noticed Fang Qingdai's confusion. She sighed and pulled Fang Qingdai to sit down at the desk: "You keep your promises and value relationships."
She pointed to the Azure Phoenix and the Grade A potion, but Fang Qingdai didn't believe her explanation.
"Besides, you and Mao Liangliang are friends. That kid has been sensitive to good and evil emotions since he was a child. He is willing to be friends with you and trusts you so much. You must not be a person with bad intentions."
It turns out that Xiao Mao's full name is Mao Liangliang.
Fang Qingdai found it even more absurd. She only just learned Xiao Mao's full name, which showed that her relationship with Xiao Mao wasn't close enough for her to entrust her with his life.
Seeing that Fang Qingdai always wore a gentle but emotionless smile, Mao Ling clicked her tongue in disapproval.
"Alright, you're a smart person, there's no point in beating around the bush with you."
"To tell you the truth, I had no other choice!"
Mao Ling's expression turned serious, and a conflicted look flashed in her eyes as she looked at Fang Qingdai. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said in a desperate manner, "My sister's superpower problem must have been caused by someone. I suspect it was Li Weidong who did it!"
“Li Weidong has been restricting her freedom. Even when she leaves her own home or moves around the base, he has people following her. It’s not protection at all!”
“My sister’s body has reached its limit. If we don’t get her out of the base… she won’t last much longer.”
Fang Qingdai's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Mao Ling with some surprise.
She probably didn't know about that force's existence; she just investigated and uncovered some conspiracies out of love for her sister.
Jingyi's father eventually died from physical exhaustion. Just as Mao Min said, if Xiao Mao's mother cannot find a treatment, she probably won't last much longer either.
but……
"Even if we send her out of the base, she won't get better without effective treatment."
Fang Qingdai spoke truthfully, but Mao Ling looked surprised.
"Aren't you surprised? After all, what I said sounds shocking enough."
The family feuds among the base's top officials would shock any normal person to hear about.
Fang Qingdai twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself that she had only seen the tip of the iceberg.
If you knew that your brother-in-law not only murdered people for money, but also organized biological experiments on people, you wouldn't be so shocked.
But Fang Qingdai couldn't say that, so she said tactfully, "Xiao Mao told me that his family... well, the relationships aren't very harmonious."
Upon hearing this, Mao Ling lowered her eyes, looking distressed: "That child has always longed for a father's love and hoped to gain Li Weidong's approval. He has always felt that his parents' discord is because of his existence."
Fang Qingdai sighed as she thought of Xiao Mao's previous disappointment.
"Even for Xiao Mao's sake, please help my sister this once and send her away from Li Weidong's control."
Mao Ling looked up at Fang Qingdai with an extremely sincere and earnest gaze.
"It's still the same problem. I can help you get her out of the base, but where will you take her after she leaves? Who will treat her afterwards? Or do you just want her to escape Li Weidong's control and leave more peacefully?"
Fang Qingdai's question was quite pointed.
She shouldn't have asked so many questions since the other party hadn't mentioned them. Once she had fulfilled the request and repaid the favor, they would be even!
But there's a little Mao in the middle!
Fang Qingdai was not heartless; on the contrary, she was more compassionate than most people of her time.
She cherished the sincere flower that bloomed in the mud even more, and grew closer to Xiao Mao day by day.
She didn't want to let down that innocent and lively chubby boy. He was already suffering so much because he didn't get his father's love. If his mother left, how would he cope with his life?
Mao Ling frowned, about to say something, when Fang Qingdai interrupted her, "Also, does Xiao Mao know about your plan?"
"He doesn't know, he's too naive. I don't want him to know that his father is actually a despicable and shameless person. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it!"
Mao Ling looked at Fang Qingdai with pleading eyes: "Don't tell him, he longs for fatherly love too much and can't bear this filth."
Fang Qingdai shook her head: "If you really care about Xiao Mao, you shouldn't keep it from him."
"But……"
"If it's really as you guessed, and Li Weidong did it to your sister, then how could someone who's capable of killing his partner possibly love his child? Besides... Li Weidong doesn't acknowledge that Xiao Mao is his child."
Mao Ling looked at Fang Qingdai with red eyes, wanting to ask her why she knew about her family's privacy.
But then she realized that it was Xiao Mao who said it. Seeing Xiao Mao's trust in Fang Qingdai, Mao Ling slumped back into the chair, feeling utterly helpless.
Fang Qingdai sighed and softened her voice: "You should explain it to Xiao Mao. He's not a child anymore, and he should take on some responsibilities."
"After you discuss it with Xiao Mao, contact me again with the specifics of how to proceed," Fang Qingdai said, before carrying Qingluan out of Mao Ling's office.
