After walking for another half hour, Luo Chen went up to take Zhiyan and carried her on his back.
Mo Zhiyan thanked him, but still didn't call him brother-in-law.
Luo Chen felt uncomfortable but didn't say anything. He carried him and continued climbing the mountain, but before they reached the top, it started to rain.
The raindrops pattered down on them, and they had no choice but to hurry down the mountain.
They didn't care, but they were worried that Zhiyan's body couldn't handle it. As a result, by the time they reached the bottom of the mountain, Zhiyan was still soaked.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the rain gradually stopped. They returned to the village and decided to visit Aunt Tian.
Unfortunately, Aunt Tian passed away last year, so the two of them could only give the gift to Aunt Tian's son and returned to their courtyard home somewhat disappointed.
That evening, Mo Zhiyan developed a high fever. His body couldn't withstand any more strain, and he couldn't sit up the next day.
There was no other way but to go back early and drive back. Once back in City A, the person was taken to the hospital.
Mo Zhiyan had a high fever for three whole days before she finally recovered.
This terrified Mo Xiaotuo. She went to work during the day and stayed at the hospital at night. On the fourth day, Mo Zhiyan was sent back to school, and Mo Xiaotuo was able to return to a normal life.
On the night she returned to City A, Min Zhixian received an important phone call and took a plane to leave City A that night. Luo Chen was busy leaving early and returning late, and had no time to take care of Mo Xiaotuo, so he could only send a car to pick her up and drop her off at get off work.
In just a few days, the upper echelons of City A underwent a dramatic transformation. Those without a foothold were ousted, as were those without strong backing.
Those families that were about to rise in rank complained bitterly and ultimately had no choice but to align themselves with the four major families and ask for their protection.
As a result, the Luo and Chen families had a lot of guests to entertain every day, causing chaos among the managers of each department.
"Brother Chen, this can't go on. The Feng family is really despicable. What exactly are they trying to do?" Jiang Kai was exhausted, his phone had been ringing non-stop day and night.
"Take advantage of the chaos!" Luo Chen roughly guessed the Feng family's methods.
"So what do we do now? Are we just going to let them lead us by the nose?" Jiang Kai was getting annoyed. After saying that, he looked at Yao Mingdong.
Why does this kid still look so relaxed? Looks like the planning department is pretty idle.
"You don't need to watch me, you can be quite free. Screen the people, and skip those you don't need to meet. You can't have your cake and eat it too," Yao Mingdong said lazily. After speaking, he yawned and looked at Brother Chen: "Brother Chen, don't just focus on the company. You've been leaving early and coming home late these past few days. Doesn't your wife have any objections?"
Luo Chen used to be a workaholic, but now that City A has suddenly become so chaotic, he has almost forgotten that he is a married man.
Hearing Yao Mingdong's reminder, he felt he should pick up the little wildcat and have dinner together that night.
He took out his phone and dialed Little Wildcat's number, but there was no answer after several rings.
No one answered the phone. I checked the time on my phone; it was almost five o'clock. Is he busy at this time?
"Brother Chen, take a couple of days off. If you're already in such a mess, we can't play anymore. Such a big cake can only be shared. Besides, if we all get addicted, aren't we just giving the Feng family an opportunity?" Yao Mingdong felt that he was the most clear-headed one right now. Not only was Brother Chen caught up in it, but Brother Luo was too.
Luo Chen looked at Yao Mingdong and suddenly laughed.
This kid is really different after going out for a while; he's become quite shrewd and calculating. This money wasn't wasted.
"How about we all have a day off tomorrow? I really want to rest for two days, I'm so tired." Jiang Kai has been dreaming about business even when he's asleep these past few days.
Pat pat!
Luo Chen tapped his fingers on the table, glanced up at everyone, and could see that they were all exhausted. He slowly said, "You can all work according to your normal working hours. Everyone else can work overtime if necessary. If the Feng family sees that we are awake, then they won't have a chance to strike."
Jiang Kai immediately understood what Brother Chen meant, but in that case, Brother Chen would probably have to send someone else to help.
"Understood, Brother Chen!" he replied.
After the meeting, at 5:30, Luo Chen called Little Wildcat again, but the phone was off. He couldn't sit still any longer and drove straight to Mingfeng Plaza. When he arrived at the store, he learned that Mo Xiaotuo and Zhou Tingting hadn't come to work that afternoon.
He could only call Zhou Tingting, who answered after two rings: "Mr. Luo, today is my mother's birthday. Xiao Tuo helped me buy a gift, but her phone is dead. If you have time, why don't you come back with us for dinner?"
"Okay, where are you? I'll come meet you." Luo Chen was relieved to hear that he was accompanying Zhou Tingting to buy gifts.
Zhou Tingting sent them their specific address, and Peng Si, who was being treated as free laborer, already had bags full in his hands.
Upstairs in the Mingfeng Building, Peng Yanyan inadvertently accessed the surveillance footage and couldn't help but laugh at Fourth Brother's appearance: "Being a free laborer really isn't easy, you'll work yourself to death!"
After muttering a few words, she picked up the milk tea on the table, took a couple of sips, and was about to turn off the surveillance cameras in this section of the road when she noticed two men not far away looking at Mo Xiaotuo and Zhou Tingting.
Still feeling uneasy, she simultaneously turned on surveillance cameras from several angles. Fortunately, there were quite a few cameras at the mall entrance. After pinpointing their location, she zoomed in on the two men's faces, took screenshots of their features, and uploaded them to the database.
Leopard, killer.
Field mice, killers!
These two are assassins! What are they up to?
She found Zhou Tingting's phone and dialed it, but the noise on the other end was too loud, and Zhou Tingting didn't hear her at all.
She then found her fourth brother's phone number, but when she dialed it, it turned out to be a disconnected number.
Oh no, this is going to be a disaster!
Undeterred, she called Luo Chen.
Luo Chen was on his way to meet them when he was blocked at a corner and couldn't move at all.
Seeing that it was Peng Yanyan calling, he answered without hesitation.
“I just saw on the roadside security camera that there were two people following Xiao Tuo and Tingting. You need to go over there right away. I checked their information and they’re assassins.” Peng Yanyan said as she shut down her computer, quickly changed her clothes, and went out.
Upon hearing this news, Luo Chen immediately got out of the car, hung up Peng Yanyan's call, called Yu Chao, and then ran all the way to the place Peng Yanyan had mentioned.
Peng Si also spotted the two men, but he didn't expect them to be assassins. He tried his best to keep them standing under the surveillance camera, and then called Brother Feng.
Feng is currently with Lin Yanran. Afraid that Yanran would worry, he made up an excuse to go to the restroom to make a phone call.
At this moment, Mo Xiaotuo was chatting and laughing with Zhou Tingting, completely unaware of the approaching danger. However, Zhou Tingting noticed Peng Si's nervousness and asked curiously, "Fourth Brother, what's wrong? Did you make an appointment with someone? If you did, you should leave first."
