“An assassin? Um… that’s a little bit of a low description, to say the least . Sis, I’m like a mercenary la~” It was rather unusual for everyone to see the usual tough-sounding Lu Yan act like a little kid .
“A mercenary? I… I’ve only ever heard about that in stories and on TV,” Huo Mian said in disbelief .
“I will tell you about it when I have a chance! I’m a little rushed for time right now, and I’m a little hungry . When we get home, can you make me a bowl of noodles? I have the helicopter picking me up soon after . ”
“Leaving so soon?” Huo Mian looked at Lu Yan, hardly masking the disappointment in her eyes .
“Yes . I couldn’t have stayed long, either way, it would expose me . I need to return to the Golden Triangle immediately since I have some unfinished business there . Oh, by the way, I will make sure everything is taken care of at the Vietnam gang, so you guys don’t need to worry about it anymore,” Lu Yan emphasized .
“That’s good, saves me the trouble of doing it myself . There’s no way Huo Siyi should be able to return to Vietnam alive, and Ruan Qingqing is dead now . The people that are associated with this incident in Vietnam should be cleared as much as possible, especially Huo Siyi’s mother, Shen Jiani . We need to find her and wipe her out too,” Qin Chu said without any hesitation . It was through this incident that he learned that there’s no place for softness of heart . He almost lost both his wife and daughter .
“Honey, Shen Jiani didn’t really do any harm to us,” Huo Mian emphasized .
“If you cut the weeds without digging up their roots, they’ll grow again when the spring breeze blows . There’s a reason for Shen Jiani to hold a grudge against us knowing Huo Siyi will never be able to return . She will find ways to give us trouble in the future, so we can’t leave any chances . I know you can’t do these kinds of things . That’s okay, just leave it to me . ”
“Nah, just let me handle it . Easy peasy . ” Lu Yan waved her hand .
Qin Chu gave Su Yu a call and told him to meet at the South Manor with Pudding .
By the time everybody arrived, Su Yu was already waiting for them .
Jing Zhixin and Yang Meirong also waited at home as they were worried sick .
Su Yu didn’t have the heart to tell them exactly what happened until it was confirmed that they could arrive home safely .
Yang Meirong hugged Pudding tightly and wept .
“Mian, I’m so glad you guys came back safely . ”
Right before the group was about to arrive at the South Manor, Huo Mian whispered in Lu Yan’s ear, “My mom doesn’t know my identity yet, please keep it a secret . ”
“I know, Sis . ” Lu Yan nodded .
“Wow, you must be Pudding! So adorable! You guys look identical!” Lu Yan ran over in an attempt to hug Pudding .
Pudding took two steps back alarmingly while Yang Meirong looked at the girl in front of her with surprise .
“This lady is…?”
“Oh! She’s an expert on the bomb squad . Thanks to her timely arrival, Little Bean and I were able to return safely,” Huo Mian explained .
“Really? Thank you so much, Miss . ” Yang Meirong held onto Lu Yan’s hand with gratitude .
“Uncle Li, please prepare a bowl of hot noodle soup,” said Huo Mian .
By the time everybody arrived home, Little Bean had woken up as well . The two sisters gave each other a big hug as soon as they saw each other .
Kids will be kids, as soon as they got back; they had put all the unhappy events behind them . Immediately, they were playing together hand-in-hand, almost forgetting the dangerous event that just happened to them .
Yang Meirong went to help out the kitchen while Zhixin rinsed some fruits to welcome everyone .
In little to no time, Wei Liao, Jiang Xiaowei, Zhu Lingling, and Gao Ran had all arrived .
Everyone else was told the story afterward; they could only imagine the terror after the fact .
Huo Mian prepared a bowl of noodle soup at the kitchen and brought it to a private room with just Lu Yan and her .
Lu Yan was starving and devoured the noodles like a wolf chowing down on a big meal . Every now and then, she would glance up at Huo Mian and smile contently .
“Yan, slow down, it’s too hot!”
“Sis, do you like noodles?”
“It’s alright; I’m not a picky eater . ”
“We are rather opposite of each other . I’m a very picky eater . Dad always calls me a princess with a hobo life, haha . ”
“Yan, do you have to go back to the Golden Triangle?”
Lu Yan nodded .
“Will… it be dangerous?” Huo Mian asked warily .
