"He will definitely come to Pingjiang, he definitely will."
Ye Qingqing was absolutely certain that a battle between her and Hua Xiaolou was inevitable.
Over the years, she has never dared to relax, all for the sake of waiting for Hua Xiaolou to return. But she never expected that Hua Xiaolou would have lost even the last bit of humanity and would even harm innocent children. He is worse than a beast.
"I'm really looking forward to that bastard's return. I'll definitely teach him a lesson," Ye Qingqing said through gritted teeth.
But after waiting for nearly a week, Hua Xiaolou still hadn't appeared in Pingjiang, and there was no news of Lu Mo. He had sent people to stake out the area by land, sea, and air, but so far, he hadn't found anything.
However, it cannot be ruled out that his men might have made a mistake. Even the most meticulous plans can have oversights. It is more likely that Hua Xiaolou took a side road instead of the main road, or even crossed the mountain directly. This way, she could get away with it without anyone noticing, and Lu Mo's men would definitely not be able to find out.
"Maybe he's afraid to come over because you're home. Why don't you go to the company? We can act like usual and pretend we don't know anything," Ye Qingqing suggested.
Lu Mo was still worried, but Ye Qingqing's words made sense.
"I'll have Wuchen come over."
Lu Mo thought of Wu Chen; it would be safer with that girl around, but—
"Wuchen and his wife went skiing; they left as soon as the holiday started," Ye Mingcheng said on the phone.
"Little wife? Tsumabuki Minami?" Ye Qingqing was very surprised. When did that brat and Tsumabuki Minami get so close?
They even went skiing together?
Are they dating?
"Yes, it's Xiaoqi. What do you need Wuchen for?" Ye Mingcheng asked.
"It's nothing, I was just asking." Lu Mo didn't tell his father-in-law, afraid of scaring him.
Ye Mingcheng complained, "Xiaotong and Tiantian got carried away with their fun. You should call them and tell them not to come back before the banquet has even started."
"They know what they're doing; they hung up."
Ye Qingqing gave a few perfunctory replies and hung up. Lu Mo frowned slightly; he was really worried about going to the company without Wuchen around.
"Don't worry, Dad, I will protect Mom!"
Anjingjing suddenly ran over, puffed out her little chest, and said loudly that they were little devils. These past few days, Lu Mo had been staying at home every day, and they knew something must be up. They were incredibly excited.
The enemy has finally appeared; it's time for them to make their grand entrance and unleash their ultimate moves!
Lu Mo was both amused and exasperated. He patted the two little ones on the head. These two children were still too young to deal with the cunning and treacherous Hua Xiaolou. If they were as big as the little pig, he would feel more at ease.
"Dad, don't underestimate us. My brother and I are very capable."
Jingjing pouted, feeling quite unconvinced. After all, she was the leader; how could she command the army without some ability?
An An also waved his little fists in protest.
Lu Mo smiled and casually replied, "Dad knows you're all very capable, but you're too young now. Dad will be at ease when you're as big as your older brother."
"Hmph, ambition knows no age!"
Jingjing was unhappy. Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly made a few strange hand gestures in the air. Before Lu Mo could understand what was happening, the pothos on the coffee table suddenly grew wildly, its vines creeping on the ground like snakes. Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo were both focused on Jingjing and didn't notice the strange thing on the coffee table.
Lu Mo was the first to notice, but by the time he reacted, two vines had already wrapped around his legs, followed by his body and hands, his body covered with green branches and leaves, lush and green.
