Chapter 144 Departure

"Pfft-"

"Look, Lanster has made some good friends too."

"Yes. That's right."

Lin Xiyue and Mo Luos whispered to each other, watching Lanster awkwardly exchanging gifts with the little girl, and suddenly felt a strange sense of relief.

"Sister! Sister!"

Just then, the little girl who had been chatting with Lanster walked up to Lin Xiyue and Moros. She gently tugged at Lin Xiyue's sleeve, gesturing for her to look at her.

"What's wrong, little girl?"

Lin Xiyue squatted down to be at eye level with Xiao Hu Niang and asked her a question.

"Yes, my name is Ye Qingling, and I'm eight years old."

The young girl hesitated for a moment, then, as if she had thought of something, she began to introduce herself to Lin Xiyue.

“Okay, Qingling. My name is Lin Xiyue. You can call me Sister Yueyue. This handsome older brother next to me is called Molos.”

Lin Xiyue smiled and introduced herself to her, as well as Moros.

"Wow w(?Д?)w So, Sister Yueyue, are you and Brother Moluos a couple? You mean the kind who sleep together at night and kiss during the day?"

Ye Qingling asked the question that Lin Xiyue found most embarrassing, in an innocent and naive tone.

"Oh...? (? ???w??? ?)?"

Lin Xiyue didn't know how to answer. She felt that if she answered yes, it would lead the child astray, and if she answered no, it would be a complete lie.

"Yes."

Moros suddenly interrupted, replying to Ye Qingling's words.

“Oh! I understand. Well then, I wish you a long and happy marriage! Hehehe. Can I take Lanster out to play with me? My mother told me that if I want to take other children out to play, I must get their parents' permission. I asked Lanster, and Brother Meros is his uncle.”

Ye Qingling looked smug, then politely inquired about something from Meros. She seemed to really like Lanster and wanted to go to her secret base with him.

"Sure, I can play with you for the next few days. Lanster, play with the little girl well."

"Huh? ゛('◇')?"

Meros readily agreed and even instructed Lanster to take good care of the little girl. However, it seemed that his suggestion of playing with the little girl had a hidden meaning.

Before Lin Xiyue could figure things out, she was pulled away by Moros.

Finally, only Lanster and Ye Qingling remained behind them, chattering away. Even after the door closed, Ye Qingling's clear, childlike voice could still be heard talking about fun places and delicious little cakes. Lanster would occasionally reply, but he seemed to be listening very attentively.

"Huh? Why did we let them play together? We don't even know who that little girl is." [°ヘ°]

Lin Xiyue was pulled out by Molos and walked back to her room, still looking completely bewildered.

“Baby, although I’m happy that you rely on me so much, even without seeing that little girl’s face, just by looking at her name, you should know who she is.”

Moros patted Lin Xiyue's head and said to her with a smile.

"Hmm... Ah, she's Ye Qingwan's sister?!"

Lin Xiyue thought for a moment and immediately thought of Ye Qingwan.

"Yes, that's right. So, don't worry, honey. Besides, it's safer for both of them to be with Lanster during our upcoming activities."

Moros didn't actually want Lin Xiyue to pay too much attention to others, and this was a convenient excuse to take them all out of Lin Xiyue's sight.

"Okay, stop thinking about them. Baby, you should rest, it's getting late. You don't want to be unable to get up tomorrow, do you?"

As he spoke, Melos led Lin Xiyue to the room assigned to them.

"Hey?!"

When Lin Xiyue came to her senses, she found that they had already entered the room.

"Okay, baby, go wash up and go to bed."

Seeing that Lin Xiyue's eyes looked tired, Mo Luosi told her to go and get some rest.

"Then, then you're not allowed to look!"

When Lin Xiyue went to get her pajamas, she discovered that their bathroom was the kind in hotels, separated by semi-transparent glass. She hurriedly asked Mo Luosi not to peek.

Is there any part of you I haven't seen before?

Meros chuckled and teased.

"Shut up! If you say another word, you're sleeping on the sofa!!!"

Lin Xiyue cursed at Mo Luosi in anger and then went into the bathroom.

..............................

Silent all night.

The next day, six in the morning.

"Jingle Bell--"

The landline phone in the room rang, a rare occurrence in this era. However, for security and confidentiality reasons, the psychic center had installed at least one landline in every room.

Of course, it's a world of superior technology compared to the old landline phones.

"Hey?"

Moros picked up the phone first and covered Lin Xiyue's ears, wanting her to sleep a little longer.

"Lord Meros?"

"Ah."

“Oh, it’s like this, I’m Lin Qingwan. First of all, I’m very grateful that you agreed to let Lanster play with my sister and protect her safety. Secondly, based on the clues you provided, we have identified two locations that are likely hiding places for illegal immigrants. You don’t necessarily need to come with us, but I’ve already told Lin Xiyue that we must let her know if there are any updates.”

Ye Qingwan's voice came through the landline phone clearly, concisely expressing what she wanted to say.

What time are you going?

Meros thought for a moment and then asked a question.

"The operation should begin around 7 p.m.

"I suggest you go after 10 o'clock."

"Okay. If you decide you want to participate in the event, just let me know this afternoon."

After a brief exchange, Meros hung up the phone.

Ye Qingwan didn't ask why they had to go after 10 o'clock, since it was already good enough that Moros could help, and he had no reason to harm them.

If he really wanted to kill them, he could have just done it. It's likely that apart from Captain Ye Qingwan, none of the others would have survived.

"Hmm...who is it?"

Lin Xiyue woke up groggily and asked a question.

"woke up?"

Melos slowly released his hand from Lin Xiyue's eyes, allowing her to show off the morning sunlight.

"Hmm. You're awake. Who was that just now?"

"Ye Qingwan. We're moving out at 10 PM tonight. Do you want to go?"

Looking at the still dazed Lin Xiyue, Molos couldn't help but kiss her forehead.

"Hmm, let's go. I'm quite interested too. Besides, aren't Shirahime and Louis here today?"

Lin Xiyue suddenly remembered Louis and Bai Tong.

"Yes, we'll see him later. We'll bring Louis along too."

Meros thought for a moment and then said.

"it is good."
