Chapter 291 Seeing Through Phenomena to the Essence



After dinner, Hu Tangdi was called away by Xing Tianyi with a phone call; they were very serious about making money. Meanwhile, Shang Lin rummaged through the refrigerator and found a piece of beef and a carp before heading to the Dragon Spirit Tower to soothe the cubs.

Although it's grown big, it's still a cub. However, Shang Lin's arrival was a bit untimely. Little White had been up all night yesterday, and now it's curled up on She Jinxing's body and asleep.

She Jinxing was probably quite exhausted, no, he must have been quite exhausted, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Hu Tangdi for help, which is why he didn't wake up when Shang Lin approached him.

As expected, cubs are really hard to handle! Shang Lin could only give the beef and fish to the God, "When Xiao Bai wakes up, God, feed it. I have to go out today."

The deity paused in accepting the beef and fish. "Going out again?"

"Yes, it's about Comrade Mo Ce's family. I'm just going to check it out. I don't know what's going on yet."

The deity sighed helplessly, "Look at you this year, it's not much more leisurely than when you were in class."

Shang Lin smiled, "That'll make things much easier. Alright, I'm leaving."

The deity looked at the beef and carp in his hand and remained silent for a long time. He was really worried about Shang Lin's situation, so he didn't get a good rest last night. But he was just a tower spirit now, extremely weak. What could he do?

Mo Ce arrived at Shang Lin's building at exactly 10 o'clock, just as he said he would. His comrade was also there, sitting in the back seat, and Shang Lin immediately sat down in the back seat as well.

Shang Lin also recognized the unpredictable comrade-in-arms, Han Ze, who was the soldier they had worked with on a mission in the Northwest. At that time, Shang Lin had given each of them a talisman.

The reason Han Ze sought out Shang Lin was because during one of his missions, a bullet grazed his scalp, and the amulet he was carrying suddenly heated up and turned to ash.

Even though Han Ze had never experienced anything like this, he felt that things were not so simple, so he secretly investigated. Although it was a bit fantastical, no, extremely fantastical, it was something he had personally experienced, so he had to believe it whether he wanted to or not.

Believe it or not, Han Ze didn't mention this to anyone, but when it came to his nephew's matter, he immediately thought of Shang Lin. However, he didn't even have Shang Lin's contact information, so he could only ask his comrades for help.

Mo Ce was also his comrade-in-arms, so when he asked, he naturally said he knew Shang Lin's contact information and asked him to help. At least he could go and see him to put his mind at ease, right? Fortunately, Shang Lin agreed.

So as soon as Shang Lin got into the car, Han Ze hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you for agreeing to come and see me. It's the New Year, and I'm really sorry to have troubled you."

Shang Lin smiled slightly, "Brother Han, you're too kind. You should think about how to introduce me to your brother-in-law, otherwise what will you do if he still won't let me see the child?"

“Mo Ce told me everything, and I also told my sister that I’m back and asked her to take the child back to her parents’ house for a couple of days. As for going to her house, we’ll send them back after we’ve seen the child, and we’ll also check on the child’s living conditions. After all, it’s Chinese New Year, and it’s not good for them to send away relatives.”

After saying that, Han Ze smiled again, "And the most important point is that you don't look like the kind of swindler my brother-in-law would never guess."

Shang Lin smiled helplessly, but followed Han Ze's words, "Yeah, my face is indeed very deceptive. But are you guys on leave or on annual leave?"

Mo Ce laughed and said, "We don't have any annual leave. We just take turns taking it. That's why it's not easy for us to find a partner. Which girl can stand being separated for a long time and have to support a family all by herself?"

Shang Lin had no right to answer this question, so she asked Han Ze, "Brother Han, do you have any photos of the children?"

"Oh, yes." Han Ze hurriedly took out his phone, found the photo, and handed it to Shang Lin. "This was taken on the day of the full moon. It's rare that she didn't cry while sleeping."

Shang Lin took the phone and looked at it. It was a thin and small baby, who looked unwell. Because it was a picture of the baby sleeping and taken with a mobile phone, it wasn't very clear, so it was hard to tell anything for the time being.

But Shang Lin suddenly thought that Xiao Bai's fuss last night was because he had scared her. Could it be that the human child was also frightened by something? Did the family not notice, or did they notice but not think about it?

City C is not far from the provincial capital, and Mo Ce's car was driving very fast. They arrived at Han Ze's house at 1 p.m. It was an ordinary residential area, on the third floor, about 100 square meters.

Shang Lin followed Mo Ce and Han Ze, carrying New Year's gifts, into the Han family's house. His parents were home and warmly welcomed them. His sister and children had also returned, but...

My brother-in-law came too, which shows Han Ze still has a lot of influence. But they don't want that kind of influence! But since they're already here, what can they do but send them away?

Mo Ce introduced Shang Lin to the Han family like this: "He's my cousin. The kid got tired of playing on his phone at home during the Chinese New Year, so I brought him out for a stroll."

Shang Lin's face is indeed very deceptive, especially when he greets people obediently. No woman can resist it, and even men will think, "What a cute little child!"

Even Mo Ce and Han Ze, who had interacted with Shang Lin, thought the younger brother was so well-behaved and cute, but the thought of him chopping down giant earthworms in the Northwest...

Haha, you really can't judge a person by their appearance alone; you have to look beyond the surface to see their true nature.

However, after introducing Han Ze, he said, "Quickly, let me see my eldest nephew."

Mo Ce chimed in, "That's right, that's right, Uncle even prepared a red envelope."

Sister Han hurriedly handed the child in her arms to her younger brother, but didn't intend to let him hold him. However, Han Ze still carefully took the child and said, "Isn't this a good boy? Why are you crying so much? Your big eyes are like black grapes, looking here and there. You're just a little thin."

Sister Han gave a wry smile, "You didn't see how much trouble he caused. Look at me, I've lost several pounds. You really don't know the gratitude you owe your parents until you raise a child yourself!"

While placing a red envelope in the baby's swaddling clothes, Mo Ce said to Shang Lin, "Little brother, come quickly. You've never seen such a small baby before, have you?"

"Mmm." Shang Lin then stepped forward, reached out and touched the child's little face, and said very cooperatively, "You're so small and soft!"

Then the child smiled at Shang Lin, and Han's mother quickly said, "It seems that children like good-looking people too. Little Shang, do you want to hug him?"

Shang Lin hurriedly waved his hand and stepped back, "No, no, no, it's too small. I'm afraid I'll bump it and break it."

"Hehe..." A burst of laughter erupted.

Seeing this, Mr. Han quickly smiled and smoothed things over, "Alright, alright, you must be hungry after sitting in the car for several hours. Come and eat."

Mother Han quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, let's eat."
