Chapter 1962: People Are Always Forced to Grow Up

Taking advantage of their numerical superiority and launching an attack with absolute armament by surprise, soon, everyone on the ship was subdued.

Uncle Tie floated to the young man in the white coat, frowning at him, circling him again and again.

Little Taotie waved at him, and he floated over to Little Taotie’s side.

Hua Jinyan asked, "Do you know him?"

"He is one of the main researchers on this ship. The first time we met, his lips moved. Although he didn’t make a sound, the shape of his lips seemed to form the word ’Tie.’ He should know me, but I have no impression of him."

Little Taotie said, "I’ll go talk to Uncle Bai Lu and let him interrogate him thoroughly."

Little Taotie jogged away.

Uncle Tie frowned, "Something’s off with Little Taotie."

Hua Jinyan bit his lip, "She’s grown."

"Was it forced growth?"

"Kind of."

"Do you know who wants to capture her?"

Hua Jinyan shook his head, "We don’t know yet."

Uncle Tie said gravely, "Her adoptive brother and family should be protected as well. The other side might make another move."

"I understand. I’ve already communicated with Brother Cheng."

...

Cheng Guodong immediately called Gu Yixing, who was filming out of town, back to the villa after receiving Hua Jinyan’s message, and the three brothers sat around the table.

Qin Xin said, "I have three security companies. I’ve stopped them from taking new jobs and had them all come here."

Gu Yixing twitched his mouth, "All of them? There’s no place for them to stay, is there?"

Cheng Guodong said, "A third of the properties in the villa area are mine. I’ll find an excuse to make the tenants leave, and then we’ll arrange for them to stay in those villas."

Gu Yixing swallowed, "Big brother, second brother, such hidden talents!"

Qin Xin glanced at him, "What about you? You didn’t come back empty-handed, did you? What have you prepared?"

Gu Yixing clapped his hands, "I borrowed some stuff from the Props Team."

The manager and assistant carried in a big box.

The box opened, revealing guns and ammunition.

Cheng Guodong said sternly, "Don’t break the law."

Qin Xin frowned, "Are these fake for show, or real?"

"They’re fake, they’re fake. Don’t worry; I don’t have the capability to get real ones. It’s just for show to fool people," Gu Yixing laughed sheepishly.

Qin Xin squinted at him with scrutinizing eyes, "Laughing like an idiot."

Cheng Guodong exhaled a sigh of relief, "As long as they’re fake. Don’t cause trouble; I don’t want to have to bring you food in prison."

Just as the three were discussing how to arrange their work, Mo Haihao arrived.

"Why are you here?" Gu Yixing handed him a cup of milk tea.

Mo Haihao pushed it away disdainfully, "This is what women drink."

Qin Xin handed him a cup of black coffee.

Staring at him with dark circles, Mo Haihao took it and downed it in one go, gasping, "Refreshing!"

"The news, you guys all know about it, right?"

Cheng Guodong nodded, "We know."

Mo Haihao said, "Xiao Lingzhi and her grandfather have been sent abroad. The other side can’t find them for now, so they might target someone else. You guys are in danger."

Gu Yixing frowned, "Actually, I’m very puzzled. Why didn’t they come for us first, and instead went after Xiao Lingzhi and her grandfather?"

Qin Xin said gravely, "That’s something I also don’t understand."

Mo Haihao pointed to the coffee cup and asked, "Can I have a refill?"

Qin Xin refilled his coffee, and Mo Haihao once again downed it as if it were a treat, set the cup down, and calmly informed them, "After Little Taotie was taken to the secret base for training, your surroundings, as well as those around the Tao Family, have our people."
