Chapter 151: Xie Wantang, what got you so worked up tonight?

Late at night, after the three little brats at home fell asleep, the Qin family hastily called a family meeting.

Tonight's meeting topic was to have Xie Wantang explain herself, with no concealment allowed.

Then Xie Wantang explained, covering some public matters and all private ones.

"So, is Lu Chen that guy a reincarnated black cat? Otherwise, how could his luck be so great?" Qin Lao San spoke first.

That was an explosion, you know—do you know what state the car was in when it was salvaged?

In that situation, Lu Chen actually managed to escape—it goes without saying.

To Qin Lao San, if he isn't a reincarnated black cat, then he must be possessed by a cat deity.

"Cut the nonsense." Xie Ningmeng glared at her son, who does something silly from time to time, warning, "It's late—don't disturb others."

"Yes."

"Tang Bao, since Lu Chen isn't dead, then you and he…" Qin Siyuan was still reasonable, after all, he's an elder.

That Lu Chen hides plenty of things; besides, he and Tang Bao have a pair of children—without Lu Chen, Tang Bao couldn't have borne that child on her own.

"Dad, I'm currently working with him in the same team—our relationship is just that of comrades for now; I haven't thought about anything else."

"Hmm, we should still ask the two kids what they think—I see Qianqian really likes her dad." Qin Siyuan said.

"Right, Tang Bao, what's up with Qianqian's side? …" Xie Ningmeng had a bold guess—she just didn't know whether it was what she thought.

"She says she can sense many things; before, she didn't speak, possibly because what she sensed frightened her, or maybe she was afraid to express herself poorly and scared us."

Xie Wantang understood it that way.

"Sense many things? For example?" Qin Lao San couldn't understand.

"For example, she senses that Lu Chen is her dad." Qin Lao Er smacked that stupid Lao San on the head—such a big head, yet absolutely no brains.

Did his brain cells get blown away by the wind?

"What? Tang Bao, Lu Chen drove you back? No way—you don't drive your own car? You're his chauffeur?" Qin Lao San thought, Lu Chen still ordering around his family's Tang Bao, which made him furious.

"He drove my car to bring me back." Xie Wantang answered that with one sentence, settling several questions from her third brother.

""

Sigh, the Tang Bao of his family—she's really fallen into Lu Chen's hands for life.

"Alright, it's late—everyone go to sleep. Tomorrow we'll each go to our own work; as for Tang Bao's affairs, we won't interfere—if she needs help, she'll call us."

"Besides, no matter which of you three brothers runs into Lu Chen on the road, don't make a fuss—since Lu Chen is part of that team, it shows he's doing legitimate work, just like Tang Bao."

"So, especially Old Three, you're not allowed to cause trouble and stir up chaos."

Qin Lao San:???

Wuu wuu wuu, what do you mean 'especially him'?

Besides, when has he ever caused trouble or stirred up chaos?

He'd like to, but that brat Lu Chen has never given him a chance.

Besides, does doing legitimate work justify hurting and deceiving Tang Bao?

In this world, there are so many people doing legitimate work—like Shen Ye the detective, all kinds of police, countless heroes doing legitimate work—they also take good care of their own families, right?

Even if they don't have much time to spend with their women, at least they don't deceive them.

But what about that dead Lu Chen?

From the very start, he's been deceiving their Tang Bao.

That name—it's just been swapped around; being a person isn't hard, is it?

Qin Lao San protested silently, but no one heard, and the family meeting adjourned.

Xie Wantang returned to the room; the three kids were sound asleep.

After washing up, Xie Wantang lay down beside them.

I don't know if Xiao Chengzi was also influenced by Xiao Qianqian, but not long after Xie Wantang lay down, his little mouth suddenly called out 'Daddy'.

Xie Wantang felt a sour ache in her heart.

Kids are just kids—they don't have all the considerations adults do.

Other kids all have moms and dads; they just want to be like the other kids.

Xie Wantang couldn't quite sleep tonight.

Reviewing tonight's events, Lu Chen said he had business with Queen.

Queen is her.

At the time, she also didn't know what mindset she was in, and didn't tell him about this.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Xie Wantang's mind.

She sat up, grabbed her phone, and messaged Shen Ye: "Senior Martial Brother, are you asleep?"

Shen Ye: "No, what's up?"

"I want to discuss something with you." The blue light from the screen fell on Xie Wantang's face; her expression was solemn and serious, yet also showed determination.

"Go ahead."

"Hasn't someone already issued a kill order on Queen? I think, taking advantage of next month's International Voiceprint Summit, I'll fully expose it to the public, act as bait, and draw out those behind it to reveal their true faces."

The next second, Shen Ye called directly.

Xie Wantang tightened her grip on the phone, got out of bed to answer the call; she worried that Shen Ye's loud shouting would wake the three kids.

That would be bad.

When the call connected, before Xie Wantang could speak, Shen Ye completely blew up: "Xie Wantang, what are you thinking? Are you crazy? Acting as bait? You're the guardian of your three kids—they're still so young; if you died, what would become of them?"

""

Xie Wantang's throat choked up; she knew the three kids were still young, but having her or not wouldn't make much difference.

These past two years, they've been even younger—but hasn't she also been away most of the time to improve her professional skills?

Of course, dying is quite different from leaving.

But Lu Chen is back, isn't he?

With Lu Chen around, if she unfortunately never comes back, they still have Lu Chen as their father, and Lu Chen is also Dongdong's uncle.

They are all related by blood.

Lu Chen will treat them equally.

She still trusts Lu Chen on this point.

"Speak up, Xie Wantang, what stimulated you tonight? Or is it that bastard Lu Chen who said something to you, making you not even cherish your own life?"

In the middle of the night, Shen Ye was howling on his turf.

He was furious inside, angry that Xie Wantang spoke without thinking, angry that she didn't look out for herself.

Even if being bait required sacrificing one's life to draw out all the villains behind, it shouldn't be Xie Wantang, a woman with a family and children, who goes to her death.

Only someone like him, who is alone in the world, is suited to make such a sacrifice.

"Sorry, Senior Martial Brother, it's my lack of thorough consideration that made you anxious." Xie Wantang apologized to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye's temper eased a bit; then, after thinking of something, he belatedly asked, "What did you just say about the International Voiceprint Summit? Next month? Where is it being held?"
