Seeing her daughter leave quickly, even forgetting about her AI communication device, Shui Bingdie's gaze turned icy. Tell her not to target that man? How could that be possible?
Only when Fan Tu dies will her daughter return to her obedient self! But soon Shui Bingdie's expression returned to normal, she frowned slightly, and could only sigh, as if she really had no choice but to compromise with her daughter.
Lian Han, of course, hadn't forgotten the existence of the AI; her calling "Fan Tu" was obviously purposeful. Having become familiar with Shui Yiyue's identity and water control a couple of days ago, she'd become bored. She asked Li Yingmo what to do next, but he mysteriously told her to wait.
Although this answer initially displeased her, she could only suppress it for the time being because of this operation—she had already secretly planned to have Liz beat this person up after the mission was completed and they returned.
But now that Shui Yiyue's mother has arrived, there's definitely going to be a big show! She doesn't believe Li Yingmo would dare to remain completely silent towards her!
However, in fact... from the moment Lian Han went to call for help until they returned to Shui Bingdie, Li Yingmo really didn't say a single word!
This is so frustrating!
Lian Han glanced at Li Yingmo discreetly, then decided that women's singles was too easy; a doubles match between men and women would be better. She'd see if she could borrow the Janchika from the uncle when she got back! She was sure she could defeat Li Yingmo.
Li Yingmo, who was focused on dealing with Shui Bingdie, felt a chill run down his spine, but he didn't dare to be distracted and continued to listen to Shui Bingdie's lecture.
Shui Bingdie's purpose for this trip was simple: to see her good-for-nothing daughter and, incidentally, to have Fan Tu complete a task.
Upon hearing this, Lian Han, playing the role of Shui Yiyue, immediately objected, "Mother, A Tu is only a B-level, he..."
Shui Bingdie sneered, "Since you dared to drag someone into this vortex, you should have known what he would face! The Shui family doesn't raise useless people, and there's no need for useless people there!"
Mentioning "that place," Lian Han's expression changed, but he knew how cruel it was there, and in the end he could only suppress his anger, "Does Mother's word count?"
“It naturally counts. When have I ever lied to you?” Shui Bingdie said unhappily.
The girl seemed relieved and smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Mother."
Her daughter still trusted her most, and Shui Bingdie's heart softened, but she immediately hardened again. If it weren't for Fan Tu's appearance, Xiaoyue would always have trusted and been closest to her!
"Then I'll go into the details of the mission. Zhu Yanxing will be sending military personnel over soon, and I need Fan Tu to disguise himself as..."
After waiting quietly for her to finish speaking, without Li Yingmo having to say anything, Lian Han said, "Mother, I will remember."
"I'm not asking you to remember that."
Lian Han revealed a determined look, "But according to the unwritten rules, can't I complete the task in his place? Just leave it to me."
Shui Bingdie was furious. "You! You actually went to this lengths for him? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
The girl quickly stepped forward to help her up. "Mother, you know I didn't mean it that way. But A-Tu has never been exposed to these things before, I'm worried about him..."
“If we haven’t met before, let’s meet now! Can you protect him for the rest of your life? If he doesn’t complete the mission himself, how will he gain everyone’s approval?”
Lian Han pursed her lips, somewhat hesitant.
Li Yingmo watched her performance quietly; he had underestimated the Ling family's little princess. Her grasp of the character's psychology was something even the real Shui Yiyue couldn't match.
Thinking of this, Li Yingmo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Fan Tu didn't have much contact with the Shui family or the Heavenly Realm, but Shui Yiyue—only if her disguise wouldn't be exposed would the next action be feasible.
This level of acting skill is something even women in the military don't possess; they made the right choice in casting her.
Lian Han was unaware that she had gained Li Yingmo's initial approval, and the latter was preparing to tell her the specific actions later. At present, she had finally reached an agreement with Shui Bingdie.
Fan Tu is in charge of the tasks, and she can accompany him as a family member. If necessary, she will also accept some small tasks.
At least they weren't separated and forced to fight alone. As Lian Han turned around, she gave Li Yingmo a provocative look, questioning her acting skills.
Li Yingmo returned the smile with gratitude and joy, which eventually turned into admiration.
After the matter was discussed, she saw the two of them exchanging glances right under her nose. Shui Bingdie felt a tightness in her chest, unable to breathe.
Shui Bingdie was at least a 2S-level assassin; she could kill Fan Tu with a wave of her hand. However, remembering that the assassin she had sent had been discovered by Shui Yiyue, causing a rift between them, she had to suppress the idea. Anyway, he wasn't far from death, and she didn't need to force her daughter to turn against her.
"You can go now. I want to talk to Xiaoyue for a while longer."
Li Yingmo glanced at Lian Han with some unease, but seeing that she didn't object, she could only say, "Okay, Auntie."
If Lian Han is Shui Yiyue, then he will also be the most qualified Fan Tu.
For the next while, Shui Bingdie had a private talk with Lian Han, warning her to be careful and not to completely trust others. She also emphasized that Fan Tu's mission was simple but very important and could not be failed. Then she left under Lian Han's watchful gaze.
...
The capital city.
The two were standing very close, the young man's hand on the girl's shoulder, about to slide in from behind. General Ning's expression was quite interesting when he saw the girl grab the young man's arm, causing him to wince in pain and pull away, only then did he calm down a bit.
"Is this his plan?"
The general was in a very bad mood.
The adjutant next to him, who had been keeping his eyes down, couldn't remain silent since the general had asked. He replied dryly, "They are a couple, so they are bound to be intimate. This is a way for them to get used to it in advance."
"Adapt in advance?" General Ning's tone became increasingly serious. The person he had personally mentored was daring to touch his beloved girl right under his nose? And as her lover?!
Which bastard made him assign this task to Lian Han?!
After racking his brains, the adjutant could only guess that the general, as Miss Lian Han's elder, disliked seeing her being touched inappropriately. He opened his mouth and said, "Major General Li is a man of principle and would not bully Miss. Even if he did, the Major General is an outstanding man, and he and Miss would be a match made in heaven."
A match made in heaven? Then he was—nothing at all. Before he could take any further action, he was kidnapped by Li Yingmo! General Ning narrowed his eyes. How come he had never realized before that his adjutant was so capable of stabbing him in the heart?
Lieutenant Yu, unaware that his last sentence had stirred up a hornet's nest, said, "The major general sent word that the mission is going smoothly, so the general need not worry."
"Hmm." Ning Jue nodded and casually put the smart device into the drawer.
Lieutenant Yu: ...That's his AI, right? He's been waiting here for ages, just to get his AI back, hasn't he?
However, before he could speak, Ning Jue said, "I see you've been quite free lately, why don't you go train with the first team for a few months?"
The adjutant's face turned pale. The general's description of the team only had one place, and that place was simply uninhabitable!
"General, I..."
"Aren't you going yet?" Ning Jue raised an eyebrow at him. The adjutant opened his mouth, but in the end, he slunk away, completely unaware of what he had done to offend his general.
