Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 184 - 177: Injured
Chapter 184 -177: Injured
What? She wants to be a hostage?
Captain Zhao stood at the entrance and heard the words loud and clear, his heart churning with shock and awe.
Compared to Captain Zhao, the members of the Scorpion Squad weren’t worried at all.
Having experienced several life-and-death situations with Qiao Jing, no matter how battered they were, Qiao Jing always came out fine, fine as if they weren’t on a mission together, fine as if Qiao Jing was just there on vacation.
Qian Haisheng frowned, “You as a hostage?”
“What’s the matter? Am I not significant enough?” There was a hint of defiance in Qiao Jing’s eyes.
Qian Haisheng looked at Qiao Jing, then at Gan Lanlan; although Qian knew Qiao Jing was indeed Divine Doctor Jing, Captain Zhao might not be aware of it.
Qiao Jing guessed Qian Haisheng’s concerns and continued the conversation, “If my identity as Divine Doctor Jing isn’t enough, how about adding my identity as Professor Qiao? That should be significant enough, right?”
“Boom— ” Thunder struck from the heavens, resounding in the sky and buzzing in Qian Haisheng’s brain.
Ah, seriously, what was Grandfather thinking? Why did he have to invite the granddaughters of his friends to come home and study with her?
They were just here to share her misery!
Luckily, there was the pleasing First Son to look at, otherwise, she would have gone crazy listening to those boring heavenly books every day.
Lin Qingluo glanced at the three dispirited girls from the general’s family with sympathy, sighed quietly, and focused on the lecture.

On the 16th day of the first month, Lin Jinyu took his four brothers, bade farewell to their elders, and returned to Mystic Canyon.
Feng Yi accompanied his mother and sister on the journey, escorting them back.
Wang Meng and Shitou stayed behind, responsible for supervising the six young boys’ martial arts training in the Duke’s residence.
Little Twelve and Little Thirteen also happily joined the martial arts training under their brothers’ lead.
The two young boys imitated their brothers’ movements, practicing the Lin Clan’s basic martial arts techniques. Their clumsy and cute appearance made the entire Martial Arts Arena burst into laughter.
Once the New Year passed, Lin Yixuan couldn’t stay in the palace any longer, so he sneaked out of the palace under various pretenses and came to Duke of Zhen’s residence to practice martial arts with Wang Meng and Shitou.
During her breaks from studying, Lin Qingluo also came to the Martial Arts Arena to stretch her body and teach the teenagers.
With her brothers away, she was the eldest sister.
The six younger brothers were very obedient.
Whenever their sister came to the Martial Arts Arena, they would joyfully gather around her, like six happy little horses, frolicking around her.
Little Eight Lin Jinhao was eleven years old, and Little Nine Lin Jinlei was ten. The two believed their martial arts skills were top-notch among the brothers, so they often entangled their sister to spar with them when their brothers were not around.
Pretending to learn from each other, they couldn’t even touch the corner of their sister’s clothes.
However, the two were not discouraged and became more motivated after every failure, displaying the Lin Clan’s characteristic fearless spirit.

Wei Shumin was very considerate and grateful for Lin Qingluo’s kindness to her. She took great care of her little mistress’s diet and daily life.
Lin Qingluo often joked with her, saying that a ten-year-old girl was worrying like a thirty-year-old aunt.
If one didn’t know better, they would think she was her sister!
Zizhu was still as carefree as ever, following Wei Shumin around every day, happily circling around her mistress.
Her simple and honest smile made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable.
With the company of the two maids, Lin Qingluo had given up on the idea of selecting new maids. She clearly told her grandmother and mother that the two girls were enough and that there was no need to add more people.
The old lady initially disagreed, feeling heartache for her granddaughter.
However, when her beloved granddaughter displayed a sweet smile and called her grandmother sweetly, her heart would melt instantly.

All her reluctance was left behind, and she held onto her precious granddaughter tightly, not wanting to let go.
Ye Xue’e knew her daughter was right and let her make her own decisions without imposing any restrictions.
Thus, the matter of choosing new maids for the Fluttering Snow Residence came to an end.
From then on, Wei Shumin and Zizhu, as first-class maids, stayed at the Fluttering Snow Residence and served by Lin Qingluo’s side.
Seeing Qiao Jing free herself, Qian Haisheng panicked and quickly pulled out the explosives.
Qiao Jing had already been threatened by the explosives once and certainly wouldn’t be threatened a second time.
Immediately, she threw her knife, aiming at Qian Haisheng’s arm and sending it flying towards him.
