Chapter 135: Xiao Xianxian Called Dad

"I know you heard clearly. From now on, you might hear a few to dozens of sounds every day. Of course, you can also pay attention to the people around you."

"Lu Yanze isn't dead; he probably isn't using his original face. So the higher-ups' meaning is, after all, you knew him for three years in the Lu Family, so you understand him better."

"As your Senior Martial Brother, I am also honored to have become your partner; at the latest, I can go to Haishi the day after tomorrow."

"Will Lu Yanze come to Haishi?" Xie Wantang frowned.

She thought, if Lu Yanze really isn't dead, then the place he should return to is Sijiucheng, so how could it be Haishi?

"I mean me, your Senior Martial Brother." Shen Ye corrected her.

"Oh." Xie Wantang pouted.

"Alright, I just wanted to let you know, two years ago Lu Yanze caused such a huge commotion that the Lu Family was completely destroyed by him; this time, I don't know who he's targeting again."

"Wait, Senior Martial Brother, are you saying Lu Yanze destroyed the Lu Family?" Xie Wantang thought it was utterly unbelievable.

Lu Yanze is a descendant of the Lu Family; why would he destroy his own home?

Is he a pervert?

"Yeah, there's an analysis from the analyst; alright, I can't reveal too much about others' work, specifically I don't know either, but my superior told me this."

"We are partners; from now on, I'll tell you everything I know; as for what I haven't said, that's because I don't know either, so you don't need to suspect."

"Our work is like this; secret missions usually involve only a single line of contact."

"I, your Senior Martial Brother, am not someone who controls the whole situation."

"……"

Xie Wantang naturally also knew that this was done for one reason to maintain secrecy, and two to prevent insiders.

If one person finds the task too daunting and wants to give up, it wouldn't lead to the entire army being wiped out.

When Xie Wantang went for further studies, because her performance stood out, her mentor recommended her to this International Criminal Investigation Team, where she was appointed as a specially hired personnel.

Because she is from Z-country, the superiors arranged for Shen Ye, who is also from Z-country, to liaise with her.

Xie Wantang still remembers when her Senior Martial Brother first saw her, his expression was completely shocked.

However, Shen Ye's acceptance ability is very strong; within just a few seconds, he returned to normal.

After joining the International Criminal Investigation Team, she completed seven rescue missions within a month.

Xie Wantang is very young, but in this place teeming with talent and experts in every field, she proved herself with her ability.

"I understand." Xie Wantang said.

"Mm, you don't need to pick me up; I'll go straight from the airport to home to see the kids."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Xie Wantang turned and went inside, seeing Dongdong and Xiao Chengzi awake, she hurried over and said, "The younger sister is still sleeping; let's the three of us go out first."

"Mm."

"Dad—"

Suddenly, the sleeping Xiao Xianxian shouted.

Xie Wantang was shocked beyond words, turning to look at her daughter; Xiao Xianxian was still asleep, probably just dreaming.

"Godmother, Xiao Xianxian has called 'dad' for the second time; she can speak, she just doesn't want to." Dongdong said.

"Second time? Has she called out before?"

"Mm." Dongdong nodded.

"When?" Xie Wantang asked.

"More than a month ago; that time was at night, I got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, worried the nanny was asleep, so I went to check if she had kicked off the blankets, and then I heard her shout once."

"Did you tell anyone else?" Xie Wantang asked.

"No." Dongdong shook his head.

He wanted to say it, but didn't dare.

One, he was afraid they wouldn't believe him; two, he himself wasn't entirely sure.

Today, they all heard it clearly, so Dongdong dared to say what he had heard before.

"Okay, thank you, Dongdong, godmother knows." Xie Wantang patted Dongdong's little head.

Then she took the two brothers out.

The fruit plate, the servant had already prepared it for them.

Each of the two got one plate.

"Miss, has the young lady not woken up yet?" the servant approached and asked Xie Wantang.

"Mm, she hasn't woken."

"Alright, then you, Miss, eat this fruit plate first; when the young lady gets up, I'll cut another plate for her."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

"……"

In the evening, right after dinner, Shen Ye's voice file was sent over, and Xie Wantang went back to her room to work first.

After she extracted several voice prints, made a summary, and matched them with the headcount numbers Shen Ye had sent, it was already late at night.

Shen Ye had already slept, but his sleep is light; when his phone receives a message with a ding, he can wake up.

Seeing the summary result Xie Wantang had worked overtime to produce, he was stunned, and he messaged her: "Wasn't it said that just getting the results within two days was enough? Why are you pushing yourself so hard?"

Xie Wantang put in eye drops, saw Shen Ye's message, and said: "Tomorrow I want to accompany Xiao Xianxian to the Language Center for training."

Mainly, she wanted to tell the Language Center teacher about Xiao Xianxian shouting "dad" in her sleep at noon, to see what the teacher would say.

"There's time for that too."

Shen Ye also feels sorry for her; besides, although their mission is tough, they are still human and need rest.

It's fine, anyway it's all done, take a look.

Mm, rest early, thanks for your hard work.

No.

Xie Wantang came out of the study, the Qin brothers were keeping watch at the door, "Shen Ye is so unsympathetic—it's so late, and he's still assigning you work?"

Regarding Xie Wantang joining the International Criminal Investigation Team that Shen Ye belongs to, Xie Wantang and they held a family meeting online, and the three brothers were all opposed.

However, Qin Siyuan and Xie Ningmeng agreed, and Xie Wantang herself was also willing.

There's nothing to be done; when the votes are tied, the parties involved can decide for themselves.

Then Xie Wantang decided to join.

No, he told me to finish it within two days; it's me who wants to stay up late to produce results. Sometimes, getting the results out quickly means we can get the results we want sooner.

The three of them couldn't understand Shen Ye's work environment; anyway, it's a high-intensity, high-confidentiality job.

We heard from Little Orange that Xiao Xian called 'dad' during her nap today, right?" Qin Muyang asked.

Did Little Orange tell you that?" Xie Wantang countered.

This kid, still a master of twisting words.

Upon hearing Xie Wantang say that, they knew that Little Xian really had called "dad".

"Well..." the third Qin brother was about to say something when Xie Wantang suddenly thought of something and hurried downstairs.

The three brothers followed.

Xie Wantang came to the flower room; the drawing that Little Xian had made during the day was still on the drawing board, and no one had taken it away.

Xie Wantang walked over, covered some intricate lines, and revealed the pair of eyebrows she had finally drawn.
