Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 270: Deeply Hidden_1

Whoosh!

Qingfeng pulled out a handgun.

At the same time, Xiao Li’s blade was also pressed against his throat.

"Are you from the Ye Family?" Ignoring the long knife, Qingfeng aimed the gun at Xiao Ming’s forehead, his face full of hatred.

With a look, Xiao Ming signaled Xiao Li to put away the knife and pushed away the gun in front of him, unhappy, "This is the last time you point a gun at me, otherwise, next time I will spank Mingyue’s bottom hard.

Also, the old man must have warned you not to lay hands on the Ye Family’s people. Do you want to disobey orders?"

With reluctance, Qingfeng lowered his arm, grinding his teeth, "The Ye Family caused my grandfather to confine himself, to never see the light of day, I wish I could slaughter their whole clan!"

"It’s more like he never lets you two see him, eh? Such clingy kids."

Xiao Ming curled his lip, "I’ll tell you, the old man has food and drink in jail, books to read, and most importantly, he’s safe and doesn’t have to worry. He’s living comfortably!

You two fools think he’s toiling away in some bitter place. Don’t you ever think, with the old man’s skills, even if he really was in a bitter place, he could still live happily like a god."

"Cut the bullshit! Just who the hell are you?"

Xiao Ming slapped him on the head and glared, "Try calling Uncle ’bullshit’ again and see what happens? You’ve got some nerve!"

Qingfeng pursed his lips, his expression filled with unwillingness and humiliation, but he didn’t angrily swear intentionally again.

Xiao Ming snorted coldly, "My surname is Xiao. Whether I have anything to do with the Ye Family, the old man knows very well. If you’ve got a problem, go ask him.

Now that we’re done talking, you can get lost.

Before you go back, remember to buy two boxes of traditional desserts from around here. Don’t try to cheat him.

I don’t know what’s wrong with the old man. He’s North-born and bred, yet he treasures Cantonese sweets like nobody’s business, so finicky."

Qingfeng stood up, downed the drink in his glass in one go, and said with a heavy voice, "You’d better not have lied to me, otherwise, I will kill you!"

Xiao Ming laughed with his legs crossed, "Bring Mingyue with you next time. It’s been so long, I kind of miss that dark-skinned girl."

"How did you know... Never mind."

Qingfeng shook his hand and turned to leave, when suddenly the doorbell rang insistently.

Xiao Li went over to open the door and heard a girl’s urgent voice: "Is Mr. Mu Kong here? Quick, notify him to escape immediately, Lord Yelang has sent people..."

Her voice cut off abruptly, as the girl saw Qingfeng, her eyes round with shock, filled with terror.

"What a truly joyful day it is!"

Xiao Ming laughed heartily, "Xiao Mu Mian, come in. Let me introduce you, this is my big nephew, Qingfeng.

He also has a sister named Mingyue. I’ll have you meet her when there’s a chance."

The newcomer was heavily made-up, adorned with eyebrow studs, earrings, a nose ring, and full-sleeve tattoos—Mu Mian, outwardly alternative, inwardly a soft-hearted girl.

Her shock had turned to surprise, as she stared blankly at Qingfeng.

Qingfeng, however, snorted coldly, "You dare to betray the organization, to send a warning, wishing for death..."

He got slapped on the back of the head again, causing the words he was about to say to be swallowed back down.

"Such a pretty young man, and you don’t know how to speak nicely to a girl? Be careful, or you might never find a girlfriend and be bullied by Mingyue for life!"

Xiao Ming went over and put his arm around Mu Mian’s shoulder, "This is uncle’s girl, your elder!

I’m warning you, keep your mouth shut, or I’ll hang Mingyue up and smack her.

Now scram, you’re annoying to look at."

Qingfeng was so angry he felt like his lungs could explode, but he had no choice and left in a huff.

"Hey! Give me my wallet back."

As soon as Xiao Ming’s words fell, a black object flew in from outside the door.

He caught it. It was his wallet.

Upon opening it, his IDs and various cards were all still there, but the cash was gone.

"You little rascal, always following the family teachings to a T, ’a thief never leaves empty-handed.’"

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming then said to Mu Mian in a soft voice, "Thank you for coming to rescue me, Xiao Mu Mian."

Mu Mian looked utterly confused, "Mr. Mu Kong, what happened? Wasn’t that person sent by Lord Yelang to kill you?"

"To be precise, the old guy sent someone to teach me a lesson, probably because I was too ostentatious before.

Let’s not talk about that now."

Xiao Ming pulled her to sit down on the sofa and said earnestly and sincerely, "Miss Mu Mian, you risked your life to warn me, and that’s a huge favor. I must repay you.

Tell me, what is your wish? As long as it’s realistic, I will do my best to fulfill it."

Mu Mian lowered her face, "You don’t need to be grateful, sir. I... I hesitated for a while, that’s why I came late."

"It’s correct to hesitate. We’re neither relatives nor close friends; you had no reason to risk your life to save me," said Xiao Ming, "But the fact that you showed up, even if I had been killed, wouldn’t change the nature of this favor.

So, don’t stand on ceremony with me, just tell me what you want."

Mu Mian lifted her eyelids to glance at him, then looked down again, hesitating for a long time before asking, "Can I really ask for anything?"

"Absolutely!" Xiao Ming nodded, and joked, "Of course, offering yourself in return is out of the question, I’m a married man."

Mu Mian pursed her lips as if gathering all her courage, "Then... then, could you please transfer me away from the marginal position? Anywhere would do, as long as it’s a formal membership."

Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"May I ask why? I mean, although marginal positions don’t have much power, the pay is good, and they’re not especially dangerous. There’s also a safety net in case anything goes wrong, which seems most suitable for a young lady like you.

Why do you want to become a formal member with more responsibilities and risks?"

Mu Mian’s expression grew dim as she shook her head, "I’m sorry! I got too greedy, please don’t mind it."

What’s going on?

In his last life, he didn’t notice this girl had such blatant ambition!

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ming made up his mind and said, "It’s alright. Since I promised, I will fulfill it.

Wait for a while, and I will find a way to transfer you under me, that shouldn’t be too bad, right?"

Mu Mian’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "Not at all, not at all! Thank you, Mr. Mu Kong!"

"I’ve already said I’m repaying a favor, so why thank me? You’re sweating from the heat; you must be tired from running over here, right?

Wait here, there’s soda water in the fridge, I remember you like the orange flavor."

Mu Mian was stunned, "How do you know that?"

"Oh, I saw it on your desk when I was buying boat tickets that day."

Xiao Ming casually fibbed as he brought back the soda water.

Mu Mian thanked him and accepted it. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and glanced at her watch, then exclaimed in panic, jumping up.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Mu Kong, I sneaked out. I need to hurry back now.

Oh yes, this is the information on the target you asked me to investigate. Goodbye!"

She took out a USB drive, placed it on the table, and hurriedly ran away, disappearing outside the door in no time.

Xiao Ming had just touched the USB drive when Xiao Bing, who was watching TV, spoke up, "That woman knows martial arts; her moves are quite skilled."

Xiao Ming turned his head sharply while Xiao Li reprimanded, "You don’t understand martial arts; don’t talk nonsense and mislead Mr.’s judgment!"

Xiao Bing stuck out her tongue and laughed teasingly, "I was just joking, brother, don’t take it seriously."

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Li was unaware of Xiao Bing’s secret, but he knew it all too well.

If Xiao Bing said Mu Mian knew martial arts, then Mu Mian definitely knew martial arts, and she was an expert at that.

After all, he hadn’t noticed this at all in his last life.

That shy and modest girl hid her skills quite deeply, didn’t she!
