Inside the small restaurant.
Nan Yuanman sat contentedly in the chair, her round little belly tucked in.
Meng Qinian looked at her round little belly with alarm and couldn't help but reach out and touch it: "Why are you eating so much? Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"
She looked so full, like a balloon, he was afraid her belly would burst at any moment.
Nan Yuanman felt a little ticklish from his touch and couldn't help but wiggle her little body and giggle a few times, replying in a childish voice, "It doesn't hurt."
"No, come on, I'll take you to buy some digestive tablets." Meng Qinian clicked his tongue and bent down to pick Nan Yuanman up from the chair.
Looking at Nan Yuanman's chubby face, Meng Qinian realized how light she was after he picked her up.
He picked her up and weighed her in his arms: "Didn't your family feed you? How come you're so light? You don't weigh me down at all."
His little niece was as heavy as a weight when he picked her up; with that weight, Nan Yuanman didn't look like a five-year-old at all.
When Nan Yuanman was picked up, she was a little dazed. After she came to her senses, she hugged his neck with some discomfort, her body tense.
Meng Qinian's eyes rolled back as she choked him: "Loosen, loosen your grip, you're going to strangle me to death."
Nan Yuanman loosened her grip slightly, feeling embarrassed. She looked at him, about to speak, but when she saw his current appearance, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Meng Qinian carried her out, and upon hearing her soft exclamation, asked, "What's wrong?"
"Big brother, your father is going to die." She cupped his face in her hands, carefully examining Meng Qinian's features. Black aura gradually enveloped his parents' palace, and the originally round and full area representing his father was slowly turning dark.
This means that Meng Qinian's father is in mortal danger and he is very likely to lose his father.
Meng Qinian's expression changed drastically: "What did you say?!"
Is that old man going to die?
He's perfectly fine at home right now, living happily with his stepmother, so how could he possibly be dead?
"Your father is going to die, aren't you happy?" Nan Yuanman tilted her head to look at him. Didn't he just ask her when her father would die?
Why are you not happy at all now that you know your own father is going to die?
"Happy! Of course I'm happy, I just..." Meng Qinian's voice rose slightly, as if he was trying to hide something, but in his heart, anxiety and worry inevitably rose. He gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath.
"Where is that old man now? Yuanman, I... I'll pay you, you... you help me save him, okay?"
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Nan Yuanman was easy to talk to, patting his chest and saying, "Okay."
She plucked a strand of Meng Qinian's hair, made a hand gesture to divine, and pointed eastward: "He's over there, about a kilometer away from you."
Before Meng Qinian could respond, he grabbed Nan Yuanman and rushed out.
-
After leaving the Meng family, Meng Lei first went to Taikoo's management to get the surveillance footage, and finally saw the image of Meng Qinian walking out of the gate in the footage.
He drove out of the villa area, cursing and swearing, while making a phone call and searching for Meng Qinian.
As his car drove out of the villa area and merged into the main road entrance, waiting for the traffic light, the surrounding light suddenly became extremely dim.
A cloud of white mist rose up in front of Meng Lei, making visibility extremely low and preventing him from seeing the road ahead at all.
"What's going on? Why is it suddenly foggy? Why is it so dark outside? Are the streetlights broken?" Meng Lei frowned as he looked around from the driver's seat.
He then realized that not only were the streetlights out, but the pedestrians who used to come and go had also disappeared without him noticing.
The entire street was deserted, as if he were the only person left in the world.
Meng Lei subconsciously sensed something was wrong. Just as he was about to lock the car door, his hand inexplicably opened it.
As the car door opened, a beautiful figure he had longed for suddenly appeared at the entrance.
He paused for a moment, looked up at the beautiful figure, and stammered, "Aya..."
Meanwhile, at the crossroads red-light district.
The driver of the car following behind Meng Lei honked his horn impatiently, but no matter how many times he honked, the man in front of him just wouldn't move.
He rolled down his window impatiently and yelled at the Maybach in front of him, "Hey! What are you doing, buddy?! The green light's almost over! Get going! I'm in a hurry to pick up my kid!"
The cars following behind the driver also began to honk their horns incessantly, creating a cacophony of horns at the red light intersection.
The people in the Maybach seemed deaf, remaining completely still.
"Hey! I'll f*** your mother!" The car driver slammed his fist on the steering wheel in a fit of rage, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to get out of the car to confront him.
Suddenly, the door of the Maybach in front opened, and Meng Lei, a tall man, stepped out of the car.
The car driver paused in his act of rolling up his sleeves, looking at Meng Lei's tall and imposing figure, and felt a moment of fear. Seriously? He hadn't even come to him yet, and this guy already wanted to challenge him to a fight?
He didn't dare get out of the car, and shouted at Meng Lei through the window, "Hey! Brother, you were the one who blocked the road first! I—oh my god! Where are you going?!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Meng Lei walk straight onto the road that turned to the side.
Just then, a large truck was turning a corner.
Meng Lei suddenly walked over, and the truck driver had no time to brake, so he crashed straight into him.
Screams from pedestrians and drivers echoed across the road, with some timid passersby covering their eyes, unable to bear witnessing the horrific scene that was about to unfold.
At the critical moment, a black object fell from the sky and slammed heavily into Meng Lei's abdomen.
The powerful force sent Meng Lei flying backward, crashing heavily into the open Maybach.
"Thump!!"
A screeching sound of brakes rang out, and the truck came to a stop just in time.
Inside the car, Meng Lei suddenly heard a shrill scream. The beautiful figure and white mist in front of him quickly dispersed, and the quiet eardrums were filled with a noisy commotion.
He lay sprawled out in the passenger seat, a small, square red coffin resting on his abdomen, looking somewhat dazed.
What just happened?
Passersby and drivers in the vicinity were also stunned.
"Holy crap, what just flew by?"
Is that person still alive?
The driver of the car following behind the Maybach quickly got out to check on Meng Lei: "Hey! Big brother, are you alright?"
At the same time, Meng Qinian carried Nan Yuanman through the traffic to Meng Lei's car. Before he even arrived, he shouted, "Old man! Are you still alive? Don't die! You haven't written my will yet!"
Meng Lei's forehead veins bulged, and before he could figure out what had happened, he gave the car driver an apologetic smile: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
He then realized that his car was parked in the middle of the intersection, completely blocking the road, and the car door was open!
Meng Lei quickly closed the car door and drove the car to the side of the road. Seeing that he was in good condition, the car driver turned back and drove away.
The road, which had been congested for nearly half an hour, was finally clear.
The truck driver also pulled over and came over to find Meng Lei to resolve the matter.
Meng Lei pinched the bridge of his nose and called his assistant, asking him to come and handle the situation.
After finishing the call, Meng Lei looked at the small coffin he had placed beside him with a somewhat incredulous expression.
What exactly happened?
He got out of the car carrying the small coffin, and Meng Qinian also arrived carrying Nan Yuanman.
Looking at his intact limbs, Meng Qinian breathed a sigh of relief, but his words were not pleasant: "It's good that you're not dead. If you ever want to die in the future, remember to make a will first."
He didn't want the Meng family's business to benefit that mother and son.
Meng Lei was so angry at his words that he almost fell over, pointing at him and yelling, "You brat! Can't you say anything nice? You—"
He was about to scold Meng Qinian when he met the gaze of Nan Yuanman in his arms.
The words he was about to utter vanished instantly. He froze for a moment, then glared angrily at Meng Qinian, raising his voice, "You bastard...you, Meng Qinian! Where did you kidnap this kid from!"
