So, why us?
Xiao Licheng still didn’t understand.
Because we’re friends. Friends do things for each other,
Lin Qiao replied smilingly.
Xiao Licheng didn’t know what to say. He glanced at Wu Chengyue and wanted to say something, but didn’t.
If he guessed right, a Deputy Chief from their base was wasted by her. How could she now ask his Chief for a favor? But of course, he didn’t dare to say anything, as he had no evidence. He was only wondering how his Chief would react.
Except for your Chief, I don’t know anyone else around here. So, I figured it’s more appropriate for your Chief to do the job,
Lin Qiao glanced at Wu Chengyue, then lowered her head to look at Wu Yueling.
The girl put her hands on her lower belly, but didn’t feel Viney’s response. At that moment, she was feeling confused.
‘She’s sleeping, so she can’t talk to you.’
Lin Qiao held the girl’s hands and said to her in her head.
Wu Yueling slightly raised her head to look at Lin Qiao as a trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes. However, she stayed silent.
‘Good girl.’
Lin Qiao smilingly rubbed her head.
Wu Yueling gave a big smile. The slight disappointment immediately faded from her heart.
What will I get if I do what you said?
Wu Chengyue smiled as well as he looked at Lin Qiao cunningly. Since she had brought the man here, the zombie must be in her place. If he brought the man to the others, those people would certainly ask him where the zombie was. Therefore, he still needed to figure out a way to cover for her.
I’ll give you thirty percent of the antidote that I borrow,
Lin Qiao said with a faint smile. She wasn’t narrowing her eyes, but she turned to Wu Chengyue also with a cunning look.
Thirty percent? Isn’t that too low? At least, we should each get half. You’ve got the best part already, haven’t you?
Wu Chengyue shook his head, replied with discontent.
What do you mean? They brought the zombie right to me. That has nothing to do with you, right? Besides, I am now offering you a chance to clear your own name. That’s already good enough. Yet now, you’re trying to take advantage of me!
Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and rejected him without thinking.
Fifty percent, or you can take this man away,
Wu Chengyue looked at her smilingly. Clearly, he didn’t want to compromise.
Lin Qiao blinked, her lip corners twitching slightly. That man really wouldn’t let himself fall in any disadvantage.
Thirty-five percent!
Fifty percent!
… Forty percent!
Fifty percent. I said fifty…
Forty! Don’t go too far!
Well… Alright, forty-five then!
Lin Qiao’s eye corners twitched after her lip corners. She raised her eyebrows, trying very hard to stop herself from turning and walking away.
What was the difference between forty-five percent and fifty percent! Well, there was a difference between forty-five and fifty, but Lin Qiao couldn’t see it.
Let’s go, little one! Come and live with me for a couple of days!
The angry Lin Qiao suddenly scooped Wu Yueling up and stood up from the couch. Before the two could react, she disappeared from the room.
Wu Chengyue and Xiao Licheng were left stunned.
Xiao Licheng glanced at Wu Chengyue’s frozen smiling face, then at the couch where Lin Qiao was sitting.
‘Ah, neither of them are willing to suffer any loss! But boss, wasn’t that your future wife? You can’t act this way, or you’ll stay single!’
With that thought, Xiao Licheng glanced at Wu Chengyue with pity, then turned to the man who was lying on the ground.
So… did she just agree to give us forty-five percent?
Xiao Licheng asked.
She didn’t reject at the end, did she?
Wu Chengyue narrowed his eyes in a smile again.
But, she took Ling Ling away!
Xiao Licheng couldn’t help but point that out.
Eh-hem…
Wu Chengyue’s lip corners twitched.
And I think Ling Ling was happy to go with her!
Xiao Licheng added.
Alright! Send this man to Si Kongchen and also spread the news. Tell the others that this man is from Huaxia Base, and for some reason, he was trying to move the zombie, and that the zombie ran away during the action,
Wu Chengyue stopped smilingly and gave an order.
Yes, sir!
Xiao Licheng responded immediately with a serious face.
Go, go!
Wu Chengyue waved at him, as if he was trying to send away a fly.
Xiao Licheng rolled his eyes, then turned and left. Once he left, Wu Chengyue immediately wore a disappointed face. That awful female zombie took way his precious little girl again!
She didn’t even agree to give him forty-five percent of the antidote! He could even see her giving him only forty percent of the antidote, using the fact that she didn’t say yes as an excuse!
That woman wouldn’t suffer any losses. He was clearly aware of that.
After entering her space, Lin Qiao sat down on the couch and put the little girl on her knees, then said to Xie Dong,
Xie Dong, go and ask Lu Tianyi to pick some strawberries for us.
Xie Dong and Lin Kui were squatting side by side by the door, watching Lu Tianyi and that smart zombie glare at each other. They simultaneously turned around when they sensed Lin Qiao’s vibe and someone else’s scent.
Xie Dong knew Wu Yueling. Hearing what Lin Qiao said, he quickly stood up and walked out. Unlike him, Lin Kui looked at Wu Yueling with curiosity, his eyes glowing.
Lin Qiao noticed his reaction, said,
Oh… you like kids!
Lin Kui stood up and walked into the room. He looked at Wu Yueling with shining eyes, and couldn’t help but curve his lips in a smile.
Seeing a dark-eyed, scar-faced strange zombie walk in, Wu Yueling was terribly frightened. She hurriedly turned and held Lin Qiao tightly, burying her face in her neck.
Wu Yueling’s intense reaction made Lin Kui pause for a second. He automatically stopped moving and wore a disappointed face. Then, he sighed and turned around to move back to the door. But, he still glanced at Wu Yueling from time to time.
He knew that his face would frighten kids, but he couldn’t do anything about that. He couldn’t hire a plastic surgeon to fix his face, could he?
Don’t mind! This kid is a little autistic. She’s just afraid of strangers. She won’t be like this when she sees you more often.
Seeing the disappointed look on his face, Lin Qiao comforted him.
Lin Kui blinked and nodded.
Before long, Lu Tianyi came in with a handful of strawberries. He walked into the kitchen and put those strawberries in a plate, then walked back out. Soon, he came in again and put the washed strawberries on the tea table before Lin Qiao along with the plate.
A figure flashed across the door. Then, a head was stuck out from behind the door. The pair of purely dark eyes were fixed on the little girl who was in Lin Qiao’s arms.
Clearly, the smart zombie was attracted here by Wu Yueling’s scent.
