Chapter 78 Plucking Hairs from the Tiger's Mouth



"Watch out!" The boy caught the plate with lightning speed and placed it steadily on the table.

As he looked up, the little girl in front of him suddenly rushed over, grabbed his leg, and looked up at him with her little face: "Big brother, what's your name?"

That little face was exquisitely beautiful, soft and chubby, like a little glutinous rice ball.

Her large, dark eyes, like black grapes, stared straight at him, making Lu Shi'an's heart melt.

"My name is Lu Shi'an, and what's yours, little sister?" For some reason, looking at the little girl's face, Lu Shi'an felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"My name is Qiqi." Hearing this name, Qiqi hugged even tighter, her sweet, childlike voice trembling slightly. "Big brother, can I call you Brother Shi'an from now on?"

"Of course!" Lu Shi'an's heart softened. Although she didn't like people getting close to her, she didn't feel disgusted at all when the little girl hugged her leg and wanted to push her away.

He even had a feeling that Qiqi should hold him like this.

Perhaps it's because he doesn't have a younger sister, so when he saw Qiqi, he liked her very much and treated her like his own sister.

Little did Qiqi know that his face and name had already stirred up a storm in her heart.

Shi An, her third junior brother.

Back when we were in the sect, my third junior brother was the one I was closest to.

Every time he went to exorcise demons, he would bring her back a gift.

Moreover, he was the one who liked to stick close to her, calling her "Senior Sister" repeatedly, and saying that she was his idol and the benchmark for his cultivation progress!

When she was struck by lightning and her soul was scattered, her last thought was that her Shi An was probably going to cry terribly!

She originally thought that it was already a miracle to be able to see Xiao Jiu, who had become a ghost messenger, in this world.

Unexpectedly, I actually ran into my third junior brother.

However... Third Junior Brother's aptitude for the Xuanmen sect is still as shallow as ever!

Fortunately, spiritual energy is scarce in this world. Judging from the third junior brother's clothes and appearance, his family must be very wealthy, so he doesn't need to work hard to cultivate and earn money.

The mistress in her past life was an orphan like her, and had to rely on herself for everything.

Of course, once you join a sect, you can rely on your master and fellow disciples.

As Qiqi and Lu Shian were talking, they suddenly saw Huo Fei pushing Huo Yusen toward a middle-aged man in his thirties.

The man had a serious and indifferent face, expressionless, and looked like a very old-fashioned and stubborn person.

Looking at the man's face, Qiqi couldn't help but exclaim "Eh!"

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" Lu Shi'an asked curiously, following her gaze.

Upon seeing that person, he raised an eyebrow in surprise. "President Zheng? What's he doing here?"

Before Huo Yusen could reach Zheng Ye, someone rushed over and said something to Zheng Ye.

Then Zheng Ye's expression changed drastically, and he turned and left without looking back.

Huo Fei stopped moving. Huo Yusen, in his wheelchair, frowned slightly. They were far away and didn't hear what the man said to Zheng Ye, only vaguely hearing three words: "Disappeared."

"Brother Xiao Jiu." Qi Qi ran up to Huo Yusen with a strawberry cake and handed it to him. "Brother Xiao Jiu, eat this. This cake is especially delicious."

After she finished speaking, she looked at him with sparkling eyes, as if waiting for him to taste her.

Huo Yusen didn't like sweets, but looking at the little girl's sweet smile, he suddenly thought that trying a bite might not be so bad.

So I took a spoon, scooped out a small amount, and put it in my mouth.

After taking a sip, she smiled at Qiqi and said, "Mmm, delicious."

Then he turned around and glanced at Huo Fei behind him, "Follow them and see what's going on."

Huo Fei pushed him, chasing after Zheng Ye's direction.

Qiqi looked at the black aura emanating from the group and exclaimed "Eh!" before hopping along with her short legs to catch up.

Zheng Ye stood at the hotel entrance, making a phone call, his tone angry and anxious.

"What happened? How could Rinrin disappear? Where are the people watching him?"

"I don't want to hear any explanations right now, I just want my son to come back safe and sound!"

"Send people to search immediately. Even if you have to turn Jiangcheng upside down, find Linlin!"

With his final roar, his face contorted in rage, his body tense like a wounded wild beast, as if he wanted to tear the whole world apart.

Qiqi followed Huo Yusen over, holding a piece of lamb chop in her hands, nibbling on it in small bites.

Hearing his loud voice, she couldn't help but frown: "Uncle, you're in danger of losing your child!"

"Miss Qi Qi!" Huo Fei, standing behind Huo Yusen, was so shocked that his eyebrows almost flew off. He wanted to remind Qi Qi to watch her words and actions.

But Qiqi didn't even look at him. Instead, she looked at Zheng Ye and said, "If you don't find the little brother quickly, his life will be in danger!"

There were only a few of them at the door, and it was very quiet, so Zheng Ye could hear everything Qi Qi said clearly.

His expression changed immediately.

Zheng Ye's eyes were sharp as he frowned at Qi Qi and strode towards her with an unfriendly expression.

Huo Yusen instinctively maneuvered his wheelchair to block Qiqi's way, while Huo Fei and Huo Yong stepped forward and stood beside them.

They will immediately take action if Zheng Ye does anything that is detrimental to Qi Qi.

Even Lu Shi'an, who was a step behind, saw this and quickly pulled the little girl behind him.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became tense, with only Qiqi, oblivious to the danger, peeking her head out from the crowd.

Her large, clear eyes stared straight at Zheng Ye without blinking, showing no fear whatsoever.

"What did you mean by what you just said?" Zheng Ye looked at her. Although he was very angry, he still managed to control his emotions rationally in front of a three-year-old child.

Qiqi looked at him, her soft, sweet voice earnest: "Uncle, there's a fierce aura between your eyebrows, and your children's palace is sunken and dull. This is a typical sign of losing a child."

The childish voice uttered words that shocked the entire audience.

Even Lu Shi'an couldn't help but gasp, glancing at Qi Qi and then at Zheng Ye.

I heard that Zheng Ye only has one son, Zheng Qilin, whom he protects like the apple of his eye. Anything related to his son will surely make him furious.

Qiqi actually dared to say that he looked like he had lost his child, which was no different from pulling the tiger's fur out of its mouth.

This kid must be crazy!

Qiqi, however, was completely unaware of how formidable Zheng Ye was. She simply counted on her chubby fingers and said again, "There's still an hour left. If Uncle doesn't go to save the little brother soon, he'll really be dead!"

"Qiqi, don't talk nonsense." Seeing Zheng Ye's face turn as dark as hell, even Huo Yusen couldn't help but speak up.

The Zheng family had three generations serving in the military. Although Zheng Ye did not follow his family's arrangements and chose to go into business instead, the Zheng family's strength should not be underestimated.

It is unwise to offend them.
