"oh?"
Are you afraid of him?
Sensing his son's urgent desire, Zheng Yunlong looked at Zheng Hao with a puzzled expression.
In the past, Zheng Hao would never have given this kind of person a second thought.
But right now...
Why would the number one family in the [Mountain and Sea Domain] suppress a wild family that has just moved to the [Mountain and Sea Domain] and hasn't even started doing business yet?
Isn't this equivalent to sending a Taekwondo black belt to teach a beginner a lesson?
Isn't this going too far? Aren't they even giving the opponent time to develop?
"Afraid?"
"Dad, it's obvious you've never heard the story of 'a loser rising to power'!"
"The terrifying thing about this kind of person who has endured hardship for a long time is that he is not only impossible to kill, but he will also try every means to grow step by step, and then swallow up other forces, just to return to his master's family for revenge!"
"To deal with these potential threats... I think the best approach is to crush them in the starting village!"
Don't give them any chance!
Only now did Zheng Hao begin to resemble a villain.
He knew full well that if he suggested killing Zhou Hang now to end it all... given Zhou Hang's current luck, he might escape the pursuit and even have some kind of miraculous encounter...
The best course of action is to suppress the opportunities that this destined protagonist has, and slowly strip away his luck.
When Zhou Hang's luck was almost completely exhausted...
His death was imminent!
"hiss..."
"Now that you mention it, someone comes to mind..."
"In the Merchant Shipping Alliance, there was once a clan member who was looked down upon. After betraying his clan, he became a 'repairman' by apprenticing himself to ship repair and maintenance upgrades..."
"Now, he has even established the [Ship Repair Tower] as a top-tier force..."
"If Zhou Hang also has this potential... once he grows up, he'll eventually have designs on our Zheng family too..."
"It really should be... nipped in the bud!"
With a serious look in his eyes, Zheng Yunlong paused slightly, glanced at Zheng Hao, and then patted Zheng Hao on the shoulder.
"Tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow I will send people to suppress and target the people Zhou Hang brought!"
"You...go and completely sever the Liu family's business!"
"yes!"
The father and son walked several dozen meters as they saw Zheng Yunlong off.
When Zheng Hao turned around, he realized that his second aunt, Yunzhi, was gone.
Mother Jian Chunxue was holding Mo Yurou's arm, and the two were talking about something...
The moonlight was cold and clear.
Jian Chunxue wore a green gauze robe over a purple long gown, her figure graceful and her features cool and aloof. The moonlight shone on Jian Chunxue's face, revealing none of the signs of a middle-aged woman's age, only the elegance of a female knight-errant.
If someone who didn't know better saw this scene, they might think that she and Mo Yurou were sisters.
"Yu Rou..."
"I'm entrusting my son, Xiao Hao, to you from now on..."
"That kid of his, he never says anything nice, and he never thinks before he acts..."
"Alright! Come with me. To welcome you as Xiao Hao's temporary 'ferryman,' I have something to give you..."
Pulling Mo Yurou along, Jian Chunxue headed towards a small hut on the cargo ship.
"ah..."
"Auntie...you're too kind!"
"I have a salary from Zheng Hao, why would I ask for anything else!"
"I..."
Mo Yurou waved her hands repeatedly, trying to refuse Jian Chunxue's kindness, but Jian Chunxue seemed to know how to handle girls like this. He simply put on a stern face and said, "What? Are you looking down on what I gave you?"
"This...no, no!"
"Then come with me!"
"Xiao Hao! Don't just stand there like an idiot, help the girl out later!"
She pulled Mo Yurou into a room, while Zheng Hao, having been called out by his mother, had no choice but to stand guard outside the door.
A little while later...
"Creak~"
When the door opened again, Mo Yurou came out alone. It was unclear what Jian Chunxue had said to her, but her cheeks were flushed, and she kept her head down, saying nothing.
"Why?"
What did you say inside?
Where is my mom?
Curious, Mo Yurou tugged at Zheng Hao's sleeve and asked, "Auntie said she's going to sleep... could you... if it's convenient for you... could you walk me home?"
"ha?"
He looked at Mo Yurou's lowered face with a puzzled expression.
At this moment, not only her face, but also her neck and the roots of her ears were all red. Her mouth kept opening and closing, as if there was something she was ashamed to say.
Let's go...
If the other party doesn't say, it's not appropriate for me to ask.
As she walked toward the deck area, just as she was about to reach the rope ladder, Mo Yurou suddenly stopped in her tracks!
Her face, as red as a peach, suddenly lifted up and looked at Zheng Hao.
"Zheng...Zheng Hao..."
"I...I...I...Can I ask you for a favor?"
"ah?"
He turned around silently and leaned casually against the side of the ship.
"What's up?"
"If it's something I can help with, I will definitely help!"
"I..."
"I..."
Twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, Mo Yurou stammered for a long time, finally managing to squeeze out a sentence with her head down and her freckles: "I...I haven't taken care of myself in a long time..."
"Can...can you give me a [maintenance] treatment?"
"【Skincare】...I thought it was something else!"
