Lan Yuxi’s little face immediately darkened as she looked at the dozen or so bank cards handed over by Chao Chao and Mu Mu.
“Why didn’t you tell Mom earlier when others gave you things?”
Mu Mu pouted, “Because we didn’t know earlier!”
Chao Chao hung his little head and added, “Uncle-masters put the cards in our bags. We only discovered them when we got back.”
Lan Yuxi let out a heavy sigh. “These cards were for your uncle-masters, and they gave them back to you? Are they trying to make me mad enough to die!”
Mu Mu raised her little hand to pat her mother’s chest. “Don’t be angry, okay? We’ll give them back tomorrow.”
Lan Yuxi was slightly taken aback. “Are you going to see Grandmaster tomorrow?”
“Yes! Grandmaster said he’d start teaching us kung fu tomorrow.”
“What about your Senior Brother?”
“He’s going too. Grandmaster said it would be best if we stayed at Hongmen, so it would be convenient and also satisfy his longing!”
Lan Yuxi couldn’t help but spit out her drink. “Pfft—”
Chao Chao’s mouth twitched. “It’s not longing!”
“Then what is it?” Mu Mu tilted her little head and asked.
“Missing!”
“Oh! It’s just one word different, but it’s pretty much the same, isn’t it?”
Lan Yuxi looked at her younger daughter with a headache. “It seems I need to send you to a local kindergarten for proper education.”
Mu Mu’s eyes went blank. She bit her little pink lip, looking on the verge of tears, which made her even more adorable.
“You want to send someone with an IQ of 200 to kindergarten…”
Chao Chao glanced at his sister. What a drama queen!
“Mom, hire us a tutor, and then we’ll go to Hongmen to learn with the tutor.”
Lan Yuxi rubbed her chin, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “What’s the meaning of this? You want to stay at Hongmen permanently?”
Chao Chao and Mu Mu nodded their little heads in unison.
Mu Mu said, “Grandmaster said that this way, he can lure you over too.”
Lan Yuxi asked with a laugh, “Lure? Are you sure those were the words your Grandmaster used?”
Chao Chao and Mu Mu nodded their little heads in unison again.
Fine!
She would just assume her master said that.
Lan Yuxi tapped on her phone and checked the calendar. “How about this, I have to go on a business trip for a few days. If you want to stay at Grandmaster’s, you can. When I get back, I’ll come and be with you.”
Mu Mu looked reluctant. “Where is Mom going?”
Lan Yuxi gritted her teeth. “Deep mountains and old forests!”
Mu Mu took a step back, frightened by her.
Seeing that she had scared her daughter, Lan Yuxi regretfully slapped her forehead. “Mom was angry because of your Second Uncle-master, not with you.”
Mu Mu patted her own chest. “You scared me, baby! Mom, are you really going to the deep mountains and old forests?”
“Mom was joking.” Lan Yuxi secretly gnashed her teeth. The place she was going, while not deep mountains and old forests, wasn’t much better.
Chao Chao looked at his mother with deep eyes. “Mom, is Second Uncle-master’s name Ming Zi Cheng?”
“Yes. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just didn’t see him this time, and I’m a bit curious.”
“He’s very busy. I’ll take you to meet him when there’s a chance.”
Chao Chao didn’t say anything else. After returning to his room, he went straight to the computer.
This Second Uncle-master made Mom angry, he had to teach him a lesson!
…
A certain field training base in Huang Ling.
Lan Yuxi looked at the continuous mountains in front of her and angrily slapped the steering wheel.
Making her, who would rather lie down than stand, climb such a high mountain, she really didn’t know what that damned Second Wan was thinking!
Lan Yuxi sighed and picked up a makeup case. After fumbling around in the car for a while, she finally got out.
On the mountain path, a young man in camouflage uniform was walking and cursing someone named Er Wan.
After walking for two full hours, the young man finally saw a sentry post.
He took out a silver key and handed it to the guard.
The guard looked at the key, then at him, and then pointed to a small path ahead. “Follow this path for another half an hour to reach the command center.”
“Still half an hour?” The young man frowned, looking distressed.
“There was supposed to be a motorcycle, but you’re late. Someone else rode it away.”
The young man resignedly thanked him and set off on the path the guard had pointed out with his slender, long legs.
Twenty-five minutes later, the young man arrived at the command center.
As soon as he entered, he collapsed onto a chair without even saying hello.
A middle-aged man in uniform walked over with a smile. “Mei?”
“Mm-hmm~”
A middle-aged man sitting with his back to him turned to look at him. However, upon seeing his sitting posture, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
The young man looked at his ordinary face and raised an eyebrow provocatively.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Mei, just call me Old Gao. This is Ye.”
The man codenamed Ye nodded slightly.
Mei was momentarily lost in thought. Why did Ye’s nod resemble that person so much?
He shook his head, pushing away the inappropriate thoughts, and handed a stack of documents to Old Gao. “I want these people.”
After looking at the documents, the middle-aged man pointed to two names on the list with some difficulty. “Ye has already chosen these two.”
Mei glanced at the names on the list. Both were IT elites. However, why would a department responsible for frontal assaults need these two IT elites?
“Ye, why is your department, which does physical labor, recruiting people who use their brains?”
Ye felt displeased, but his bình thường face showed no emotion. “You say we do physical labor?”
“Don’t we?” Mei sized up his face and finally noticed something unusual. This guy had also disguised himself, just like him. “It’s a waste for those two to follow you. Your department is fine with the support of our department.”
Ye looked at him deeply.
Mei sneered. “What are you looking at! It’s decided! Old Gao, help me call all the people I want over. I want to test them.”
He paused and looked at Ye. “If you really want IT elites, you can pick from whoever I eliminate.”
Ye suddenly stood up. “How can you, a short person, be so unreasonable!”
Mei blinked and pointed to himself. “You call me short? Hey, I’m at least 1.7 meters tall…”
Ye walked up to him with his 1.8-meter-long legs.
Mei looked up at him. Alright, facing someone close to 1.9 meters, he was indeed short.
Ye’s voice was cold as he suggested, “How about a fight? Whoever wins gets to choose first.”
“You want to bully the small with the big?”
“Concentrated essence is the best, so I’m not bullying the small…”
Before Ye could finish speaking, Mei’s fist had already landed.
Damn it!
Calling him essence was an insult, so why wouldn’t he fight!
Ye narrowly dodged his punch, but the wind from the punch stirred his camouflage uniform.
He looked at Mei’s cold, emotionless eyes and was slightly stunned. Why did these eyes resemble hers so much!
Ye felt like he was going crazy. He clenched his fingers and said in a deep voice, “Those two are yours. I hope we can cooperate smoothly in the future.”
“Tch!” Mei sneered dismissively.
If he dared to refuse, she would beat him to a pulp!
