Qin Ran felt that he had walked into a dead end. His daughter was still a boy, so how could she marry into the Shen family as a girl?
What would she face next?
Other than gossip, there were also slander. How could such a pitiful child face doubts and injuries over and over again?
"What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Yao"s voice came from afar.
Qin Ran suddenly came back to her senses. She turned around, unable to relax her tightly knitted brows. She hurriedly lowered her head.
Xiao Yao stepped forward and followed her gaze towards the kitchen. "What are you worried about?"
Qin Ran felt as if something was stuck in his throat. How could she ask such a question?
"Worried about Little Jing?"
Qin Ran became more and more ashamed.
He had already gotten used to the tone of the leader. He wanted to be gentler, but the moment he said it, there was no need to worry. Xiao Yao was used to the tone of the leader, he wanted to be gentler, but the moment he said it, there was no need to worry.
"Old master, is this really possible?"
"What if, what I mean is, what if, after all, Little Jing lied to the military. Wouldn"t she suffer from —"
"If the sky doesn"t collapse, how can we protect our country if our Xiao family can"t even bear such a small mistake?"
"You don"t have to worry about these things. If you have time, make a set of wedding clothes for your child. Isn"t this the custom in your hometown?"
Qin Ran"s cheeks flushed red. "Yes, Master."
Outside the window, the breeze was blowing, and the sun was breaking through the clouds.
There seemed to be the rejuvenation of all living things in the air, the fragrance of flowers and birds, the blooming of spring flowers …
A car was on the blacktop, a country road with few traffic.
Xiao Jing sat in the front pa.s.senger seat. This wasn"t the first time she had secretly looked at her captain, but she couldn"t help but want to take a few more glances.
Shen Chengfeng leaned on the steering wheel with one hand and looked to his side, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Captain, where are you taking me?"
Xiao Jing couldn"t help but reveal the look of expectation in her eyes. Could it be that the captain is planning to take her on a date again?
Shen Chengfeng looked at the rearview mirror and saw that there seemed to be a car following behind him.
Seeing that the captain didn"t reply, Xiao Jing asked again, "Captain, where are we going?"
"Take you on a mission."
Shen Chengfeng said.
Xiao Jing"s heart was filled with joy. Was the captain going to carry out another appointment?
Where are we going this time?
A amus.e.m.e.nt park, or a park, or a suburban garden.
"Did you notice that there was a car following?"
Shen Chengfeng"s words made sense.
Only then did Xiao Jing look in the rearview mirror. There was indeed a car following her. It was a seemingly ordinary Toyota Land Cruiser. She did not understand and asked, "Is there something wrong with it?"
"This car is at least twenty kilometers behind us."
Shen Chengfeng purposely increased his speed, and sure enough, the car also sped up.
Xiao Jing couldn"t help but be on high alert. She moved the back seat of the car back and took out a gun from under the seat. After a.s.sembling the gun, she loaded it with bullets and asked, "Do you need to shoot?"
Shen Chengfeng could not help but ask, "Do you think we can shoot?"
Xiao Jing thought about it for a moment, then shook her head. "In the absence of conclusive evidence, we cannot rashly attack the commoners."
Shen Chengfeng slowed down and finally stopped by the side.
The Toyota sped past them and stopped five or six meters ahead of them.
A man in the pa.s.senger seat spat out a cigarette in his mouth and waved his machete, which should be around 60 to 70 centimeters long.
The corner of Xiao Jing"s mouth twitched. "Captain, did you really bring me out on a mission?"
"I heard that there are always car robbers around here. I smoothly brought you over to take a look. I didn"t expect to meet them."
Xiao Jing finally understood why her captain chose a BMW. Hmm, it seemed to be of the seventh series, so it should look expensive.
The man proudly brandished the large blade in his hand, with the intention of spreading out his hand.
Shen Chengfeng did not move and continued to talk to Xiao Jing, "Now we have evidence to shoot."
Xiao Jing saw him point at the logbook on the mirror. She smiled and slowly loaded it.
The man didn"t mind. He walked to the window and knocked on it. He spoke in a local language, "Do you want me to cut your carriage a few times, or do you want to pay the money obediently?"
"This car is sprayed with paint. It"s not cheap, right?"
"Leader, should we give them a chance to show off their skills?"
Xiao Jing joked.
Shen Chengfeng knocked on the steering wheel with one hand and said seriously, "I borrowed this car from the higher-ups. We need compensation for any damage done."
Xiao Jing was surprised. "Not yours?"
"You like this car?"
Xiao Jing shook her head. In the future, the captain would still support her. Right now, there was too much pressure on her to raise a person. She felt that she shouldn"t put too much pressure on him.
Shen Chengfeng smiled and said, "Let"s start."
Xiao Jing opened the car door and faced the man who was still showing off the weapon in his hand.
When the man"s accomplices saw that they dared to get out of the car, a group of people quickly followed. Each of them held a weapon in their hands, obviously planning on ganging up on them.
Xiao Jingjing also impolitely picked up her own a.s.sembling spear, the corners of her mouth raised up in ridicule.
When the other party saw this, they were stunned for a moment, then all of them reacted and no longer dared to casually wave their blades.
Shen Chengfeng opened the car door and kicked the man who threatened them to the ground.
The man grimaced in pain. "What are you two?"
Shen Chengfeng crouched down and brushed away the tattoo on the man"s neck, "This dragon must turn into a bug now."
Xiao Jing approached the other three, one step at a time, "Put the sabre down."
The three of them slowly prepared to put down their machetes, but one of them deliberately tried to trick them. The moment the machetes were put down, he quickly grabbed them and threw them towards Xiao Jing without caring about the consequences.
Xiao Jing dodged to the side, avoiding this random revenge. She simply gave up on her weapon, strode forward, and directly kicked away the man who was one meter above her head. Her knee heavily hit the man"s head, and with a bang, the man fell straight to the ground.
When the other two saw this, they panicked and grabbed their machetes in preparation to retaliate.
Xiao Jing turned around and kicked one of them away. She then grabbed the other"s arm and twisted it. The other party was in pain and loosened his grip.
Shen Chengfeng took three steps forward and a cold fist landed on the face of the last man. The moment the fist landed on his face, the man"s pupils contracted, as if the bones in his face were misaligned. Before he could even feel the pain, his eyes closed and he fainted.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
Xiao Jing was carrying a spear on her shoulder. She had one hand on her waist, and the corner of her mouth held a trace of a victorious smile.
Shen Chengfeng"s eyes fell on the last remaining man beside the Toyota.
The man was about to sneak away, but they noticed him so quickly, and knowing his intentions were exposed, he stumbled into the car.
Xiao Jing raised her gun, and with a flick of her index finger, the bullet pierced through the car"s tires. After just two meters, the car lost its balance and crashed into a road sign.
Shen Chengfeng stepped forward and lightly closed the door.
The man lowered the window in panic, not daring to move.
"Call the police."
Shen Chengfeng explained the purpose of his visit.
The man trembled as he took out his phone. His fingers were not very fast, so he pressed the number twice before he could type out the three simple numbers.
Shen Chengfeng took care of the last man and got back into the car.
After Xiao Jing finished disa.s.sembling her weapon, she put it back under her seat. The moment she raised her head, a head landed in her line of sight.
Shen Chengfeng gently kissed her forehead, "Not bad."
Xiao Jing realized that the captain only intended to kiss him. She instinctively grabbed his head with both hands, preventing him from pulling away.
Shen Chengfeng knew what she was up to so he gently patted her head and motioned for her to take a look in front of the car.
Xiao Jing originally did not mind and looked out the window, only saw a pair of eyes looking at them without any reluctance. Her pitiful appearance was like a abandoned pet, hoping that her master would turn around and look at his innocent and eager expression.
Shen Chengfeng sat back in the driver"s seat and put on his seat belt, "Alright, let"s go."
Xiao Jing looked at him as he continued to head in the direction of the city. She asked, "Captain, where are we going?"
"Now that the business is done, of course I have to take care of my personal affairs."
The car sped along until it stopped in front of a large shopping mall.
The spring suns.h.i.+ne was like wine, somewhat intoxicating, and there seemed to be a tang of the wine in the air, bringing out its aftertaste.
The entire square was filled with people, and Xiao Jing followed her own captain.
Shen Chengfeng held her hand tightly and would occasionally turn around to confirm if he had misled her.
"Would you like something to drink?"
Shen Chengfeng looked towards a teahouse about ten meters away from them.
Xiao Jing nodded, "It"s whatever captain says."
Shen Chengfeng pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Wait for me there. I will be back very soon."
Xiao Jing obediently sat on the chair. She picked up her clothes, looked at the small ball rolling at her feet, and squatted down to pick it up.
A two year old little girl ran over unsteadily with a cute and innocent smile on her face. She said, "Uncle, can you return the ball to me?"
Xiao Jing handed it over and looked at the departing child. She leaned back in her chair and felt that something was wrong. Something was wrong.
She shook her head as if nothing was wrong.
Shen Chengfeng returned very quickly and bought two cups of honey tea, "It"s hot. Your date for this month has been delayed, so stop drinking cold drinks."
Xiao Jing took a sip of the sweet and sour honey tea. She looked at the people in the square, and asked, "Captain, why did you bring me here?"
"I just wanted to take you out for a walk."
Shen Chengfeng gently stroked her face, "Do you want to take a walk?"
"There"s nothing to visit. We"re not going. With our status, we shouldn"t go to a place with many people."
Xiao Jing leaned on his shoulder, her eyes lingering on the little child who was running and jumping around. She suddenly woke up.
Shen Chengfeng did not understand why she was so agitated. He frowned and asked, "What"s wrong?"
Xiao Jing"s gaze was somewhat erratic. She felt that her idea was probably wrong. Hmm, it should be wrong. However, once she had such a thought in her heart, she would have countless reasons to support this thought.
"Dong, dong, dong."
She could almost hear her heart beating in her chest.
Last month Auntie put off five days, probably because she was drugged, and a week later this month, but she didn"t take the medicine, did she?
Shen Chengfeng held her hand tightly and noticed that she was trembling. He asked anxiously, "What"s wrong?"
Xiao Jing shook her head, solemnly shaking it. "It"s fine, the captain is fine."
Shen Chengfeng stared at her face and said seriously, "You know you won"t lie. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Xiao Jing lowered her eyes, her two hands tightly holding this cup of honey tea. Even in the face of Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, she was not as uncertain as she was now. What should she do?
Should he say it or shouldn"t he? No, what should she say?
The captain had clearly bought him medicine, but if he told him that he had secretly vomited out, would he be angry?
What if it wasn"t?
Wasn"t this the same as lifting a rock to smash one"s own foot?
No, she couldn"t say it, absolutely not.
Shen Chengfeng"s face was solemn as he grabbed her shoulders. From her stuttering manner, he could tell that the situation was much more serious than he had imagined.
He said, "Raise your head and tell me, what exactly happened to you?"
What"s wrong?
"Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Jing shook her head and really did her best to shake her head. She needed to divert attention so that the captain could s.h.i.+ft his focus away from her body.
Shen Chengfeng was enlightened, "It"s that one?"
Xiao Jing was stunned. For the first time, she didn"t understand which one he was talking about.
After some thought, he realized what he meant. His cheeks flushed uncontrollably.
Shen Chengfeng stood up and took off his jacket, "Wait for me here. No, come with me. Wait for me in the washroom first."
Xiao Jing followed closely behind Shen Chengfeng. When she saw him enter the supermarket, she hurriedly ran to the signboard and studied the entire department store.
Shen Chengfeng casually bought two bags of women"s products and stood in front of the washroom. Didn"t he tell this kid to wait for him?
The whole mall was filled with people, and he seemed to have forgotten about losing his little one.
Xiao Jing paced back and forth in the pharmacy. Her eyes were sharp as she observed the goods on the shelves. What should she buy to inspect?
"Is there anything this gentleman can help you with?"
Seeing him walk back and forth countless times, the staff member took the initiative to ask him.
Xiao Jing found it difficult to open her mouth. She coughed lightly and deliberately raised her voice, whispering, "Is there anything that can be checked? Cough, is there a child in your womb?"
The staff member nodded, "Of course, please follow me."
Xiao Jing deliberately blocked her head. Was it a little strange that a man would come to the pharmacy to buy this thing?
The staff member picked up a box of early pregnancy test papers. "Just use this. How many boxes do you want?"
Xiao Jing quickly nodded as she looked at the description. "One box is enough."
"h.e.l.lo, a total of 12 RMB."
Xiao Jing rolled over on her back. She was finished. She didn"t seem to have a single cent left.
"No cash?"
the staff member asked again.
Xiao Jing rummaged in her pocket. Sure enough, she didn"t have a single cent.
"We can pay by mobile phone here."
The staff member pointed to a nearby counter.
Xiao Jing didn"t know whether to laugh or cry. She touched the pocket of her captain"s coat and found something that looked like paper money. Instinctively, she pulled it out and widened her eyes, revealing a stack of money.
The staff member covered his mouth and laughed, "There"s no need for that much."
Xiao Jing took out a piece of paper and handed it to him, "Sorry for troubling you."
Shen Chengfeng walked past the pharmacy and looked around helplessly. Why did this kid disappear in the blink of an eye?
"Xiao Jing."
He no longer cared about his ident.i.ty and just stood in the sea of people and shouted.
Many people around turned to look at him when they heard the voice.
Shen Chengfeng gasped for breath and shouted again, "Xiao Jing."
"Captain, I"m here."
Xiao Jing stood behind the crowd and waved her hand. Her face revealed a very natural and clear smile.
The crowd gradually dispersed and her figure slowly appeared in front of their eyes. Shen Chengfeng ran forward in quick steps and hugged the lost child tightly.
Xiao Jing leaned against his chest and said with self-reproach, "I"ll leave for a bit. When I return, you will already be gone."
Shen Chengfeng held her face. Previously, when faced with a hail of bullets, his expression did not change. But now, he was in a panic and did not know what to do.
Xiao Jing noticed that there were many people discussing among themselves. She grabbed Shen Chengfeng"s hand and walked to the corner.
Shen Chengfeng took a deep breath and recovered some of his nervousness. He handed over the black bag in his hand and said, "Let"s go."
Xiao Jing carried the bag. She entered the washroom and then came back. Taking advantage of no one"s attention, she stood on her tiptoes and kissed the leader on the lips.
"Wait a minute, this is a shopping mall. I"ll go in and see if there"s anyone else."
Shen Chengfeng went into the washroom first. He was glad that this was the corner and not many people were paying attention to him.
Xiao Jing walked into the cubicle and sat on the toilet. She paid attention to the instructions and opened the box. For some reason, her hands were shaking violently.
Waiting five seconds. Waiting five seconds. Waiting five seconds ….
Overstatement --
Ha hha, here it comes.
