Chapter 157: If Team Leader Lu has nothing else, I'll hang up

"Hmm."

Xie Wantang typed a character and replied.

"Well-behaved, thumbs-up jpg, Xie Wantang, I won't deceive you again."

"..."

Xie Wantang won't believe such words again.

"Go wash up and sleep, Team Leader Lu."

Lu Chen saw these four words; even though Xie Wantang wasn't by his side, he could still imagine her rolling her eyes at the phone.

It's fine; they are on the side of justice. Once they thoroughly defeat evil and capture all the bad guys, standing under blue skies and white clouds, he will tell her how much he loves her.

Lu Chen also obeyed, went to wash up, and then fell asleep.

Soon, the day before the International Summit arrived.

Xie Wantang was going to Sijiucheng, and the three children were very reluctant to part with her.

Xie Wantang simply packed a tote bag, putting in some spare clothes.

"Mommy will come back and bring you something tasty. Is there anything special you want?" Xie Wantang squatted down, grabbed the three children's hands, and asked what they wanted.

The three little ones all shook their heads; finally, Dongdong said, "Godmother, you just need to come back early."

"Okay, godmother promises you, I'll come back after the event ends." Xie Wantang smiled and patted Dongdong's little head.

She still remembers the scene when she first met this brat: his hands were covered in mud, and she didn't know if it was intentional, but he hugged her and smeared his muddy hands all over her.

Now Xie Wantang can be sure: Dongdong this brat definitely didn't do it on purpose.

Xia Meng is a good person, even though the things she does look like those of a bad person.

Lu Yanshen is Lu Chen's biological brother, so he probably isn't a bad person either.

Mom and dad are both good people, so the son definitely

"Mom, you really aren't taking me?" Finally, Xiao Qianqian pulled Xie Wantang's hand, leaned close to her ear, and said, "Mom, if you don't take me and there happen to be bad people around you that you can't sense, I can help you."

"..."

Xie Wantang thought for a moment and felt the little girl was right: "Then you can dress as a brother and go with Mom?"

"Yay, yay, as long as Mom is willing to take me, that's fine." Xiao Qianqian happily clapped her hands.

As long as we can go, it's fine even if we have to dress as a brother.

Moreover, pretending to be a brother sounds exciting.

"Then go to your brother's room, borrow a few sets of clothes from him, and then you also have to persuade your brother and Dongdong's brother not to be angry with Mom for taking only you."

"Don't worry, Mom, they wouldn't dare be angry with us; if they dare, we'll just ignore them."

Xie Wantang: "..."

Dongdong + Xiao Chengzi: "..."

After saying that, they really didn't dare to get angry.

If the little sister really ignores them, that's a huge deal.

After the mother and daughter finished packing, Xie Wantang personally gave Xiao Qianqian a buzz cut, and Xiao Chengzi's buzz cut was the one she herself gave.

After putting on Xiao Chengzi's clothes, the originally obviously boy-and-girl fraternal twins instantly became twin brothers.

Xiao Chengzi couldn't believe it: Xiao Qianqian wearing his clothes and shaving her head to match his exactly made them look like they were cast from the same mold.

Seeing Xiao Chengzi's stunned look, Dongdong told him, "You and Xiao Qianqian are twins, so your faces are naturally the same; it's just that one is a boy and the other a girl."

Xiao Qianqian had only been keeping her long hair before, and she was wearing a dress, so naturally everyone's attention wasn't focused on their faces.

Besides, fraternal twins are naturally twins and look alike, which is completely normal.

"Alright, let's go. You two brothers stay behaved at home; Mom and the little sister will be back soon."

"Hmm."

Shen Ye waited outside, saw Xie Wantang bringing her son along, and frowned tightly, saying, "No, Junior Martial Sister, what are you taking Dongdong to do?"

Xie Wantang's originally stubborn plan was already fraught with danger, and yet she actually wanted to bring a child along?

What does she intend to do?

Other mothers would do everything to protect their own children, but she, knowing full well this is a bait plan, actually still wants to bring the child along.

Xiao Qianqian saw that Uncle Shen Ye didn't recognize her, mistook her for Dongdong, and gave a smug smile; she couldn't speak, she wasn't ready yet, and at this moment, speaking would easily give her away.

"Bringing Dongdong along naturally has its purpose, Senior Martial Brother, hurry up and drive, or we'll miss the flight."

"..."

Seeing that Xie Wantang had no intention of letting the child go back, Shen Ye had no choice but to drive to the airport.

Xie Wantang treated him the way she used to treat him, making it awkward for him to keep asking.

Only before departure could she have his team remember that the ones to protect next are two people, one big and one small: Xie Wantang and her son.

That night, Xie Wantang checked into the hotel that the organizers had specially prepared for them, the voiceprint masters.

At first, the organizers wanted to arrange lodging based on status, but they realized that would expose each other's identities, violating the contract clause requiring confidentiality for the voiceprint masters.

So someone came up with the idea of using a lottery.

When it was Xie Wantang's turn to draw lots, she had Xiao Qianqian draw, and Xiao Qianqian was extremely lucky, drawing the presidential suite on the top floor.

"Congratulations, Ms. Xie."

"Thank you."

Xie Wantang took Xiao Qianqian to the presidential suite on the top floor; although Xiao Qianqian was making her first long trip, she was completely unlike other children.

Even upon seeing such a luxurious presidential suite, she remained very composed.

After the mother and daughter had dinner, Xiao Qianqian grew sleepy and yawned; Xie Wantang helped her bathe, took her to bed, and before she could even finish a bedtime story, Xiao Qianqian fell asleep.

She really is an easy child to take care of, neither picky about food nor resistant to sleeping in new beds.

After Little Qianqian fell asleep, Xie Wantang took a can of drink, sat by the floor‑to‑ceiling window, and admired the night view of Sijiucheng.

Lu Chen's call came at that moment.

Xie Wantang answered, "Hello, Team Leader Lu, any orders?"

"Xie Wantang, why did you bring your son as well?" Lu Chen asked.

This matter was told to him by Shen Ye; Shen Ye thought about it for a long time, and still felt that Lu Chen should know it, so that Lu Chen could persuade Xie Wantang.

He was already unable to persuade him.

Only, Shen Ye didn't expect that Lu Chen had his own plan and arrangement, and this time, it counted as handling both official and personal matters together.

So, he only just saw the message Shen Ye sent him.

When boarding, Lu Chen didn't make a call; when landing in Sijiucheng, Lu Chen's phone still hadn't rung, and Shen Ye no longer had hope for him.

He only reminded himself and the team members he was responsible for that they must spare no effort to protect Xie Wantang and Little Orange.

"Because Little Orange hasn't traveled far before, he wanted to see the world, so I brought him along. Moreover, the organizers allowed us to bring one family member."

Xie Wantang told a lie.

"But you are attending this summit with a mission, not for fun."

"I know, Team Leader Lu, rest assured, Deputy Team Leader Shen has already arranged it."

…

"Team Leader Lu, if you have no other matters, I'll hang up."

…

Xie Wantang's businesslike tone left Lu Chen speechless.
