Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Qin Tan Disappears
Qin’s mother laughed and said, "I learned. When I married your dad, he was going through the toughest time in the Qin Family, and anything could happen. How could I not learn a thing or two to protect myself?
But I haven’t touched those things in years, who knows if I can still hit a target."
Xiao Li asked, "Mom, does everyone in our family have to learn these things?"
Qin’s mother shook her head, "Not really. Back then, circumstances were rough. Without learning, I couldn’t protect myself.
In your generation, it’s okay not to learn. Xiao Jie didn’t learn anything!
The Qin Family is very stable internally now, and others are not foolish enough to provoke us.
So learning or not is not important!
But it’s never a loss to learn. The more you learn about self-defense, the better!
Like Xiao Shitou, they will have to learn in the future. It’s a compulsory course in their family school.
Speaking of family school, Xiao Shitou should join next year. Xiao Jie might not be willing to part with him."
Xiao Li nodded, "When Xiao Shitou joins the family school, I bet sister-in-law will have a bit of a tiff with brother."
Even when Mianmian joined the family school, she herself might feel a little upset with Uncle, even though she knows the family school is for the sake of the children. Not wanting to let go is just a mother’s instinctive reaction.
Qin’s mother laughed at this, "It’s normal for Xiao Jie to throw a fit. I did it quite often back then!"
Xiao Li covered her mouth and laughed, "Mom, sister-in-law and brother are coming back to the country soon, right?"
Half a month ago, Qin Tan and He Jie went abroad. Qin Tan went to negotiate a partnership, and because the trip would last around ten days, he took He Jie and the kids, planning to take them on a little vacation after his business was done before returning.
Qin’s mother shook her head, "I don’t know when they’ll return to the country, I didn’t ask.
The other day your sister-in-law called and said that Ah Tan had finished his business and now has time to spend with them.
I didn’t ask after that. Ah Tan has been busy these years, not spending much time with Xiao Jie. Let them enjoy themselves this time!"
Xiao Li nodded, and the two chatted idly until Qin Xiao walked in with the two kids, and then they stopped.
Qin Xiao came in holding Xiao Li in one arm and leading Mianmian with the other.
Xiao Li is almost eight months old. He doesn’t sleep as much during the day now and wants to go out and play, so Qin Xiao often takes him out for a walk...
As soon as Mianmian came in, she rushed to Qin’s mother, "Grandma, I’m hungry."
Qin’s mother smiled and said, "Our little Mianmian is hungry! Then grandma will have someone get you some snacks!"
With that, Qin’s mother instructed someone to check the kitchen for snacks and bring some for Mianmian to eat, as well as Xiao Li’s baby food.
Soon, a servant brought the baby food and snacks, and both children happily ate.
After eating the baby food, Xiao Li let out a tiny yawn, and Xiao Li knew that he was sleepy.
Xiao Li sleeps less than before but still takes a nap once a day, sometimes before lunch, sometimes in the afternoon.
Xiao Li picked up Xiao Li, took him back to the room to sleep, while Mianmian, having finished her snacks, went to play again, and Qin Xiao followed.
As soon as Xiao Li was brought back to the room by Xiao Li, he fell asleep. This guy falls asleep so easily; when he wants to sleep, he sleeps.
Xiao Li tucked Xiao Li into bed, covering him with a small blanket. She called Aunt Wu to look after him, then went to the front.
Aunt Wu had already gone back to the city villa before anyone else. The villa hadn’t been lived in for several months, so someone had to go back to clean it up.
Of course, because it hadn’t been lived in for so long, a thorough cleaning was needed. This task naturally couldn’t be left to Aunt Wu alone; others would handle it. Aunt Wu only needed to supervise since she was more familiar with Qin Xiao and Xiao Li’s habits and needed to oversee the placement of things in the house.
A few days later, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li, along with Qin’s father and mother, all returned to the city from the old house.
After returning to the city, Qin Xiao planned to take the kids on a trip since both he and Xiao Li hadn’t returned to the lab and hospital yet. But the news of Qin Tan going missing came.
In the villa of Qin’s father and mother, Qin’s father was discussing matters with Qin Xiao in the study, while Qin’s mother and Xiao Li sat in the living room. Although Qin’s mother appeared calm, Xiao Li could see the unease in her heart.
The study door opened, and Qin’s father and Qin Xiao came out. Qin Xiao walked to Xiao Li, "Go home and pack my luggage!"
As soon as Qin Xiao said this, Xiao Li understood.
Qin’s mother looked at Qin’s father, "Old Qin..."
Qin’s father raised his hand to stop her, "I’ll stay at the company to oversee everything. Ah Xiao will go to M Country to find Ah Tan."
Qin’s mother’s lips moved slightly, but she ultimately said nothing.
Xiao Li and Qin Xiao returned to their villa. Xiao Li didn’t say anything, just quietly packed Qin Xiao’s luggage.
Qin Xiao walked over and held Xiao Li in his arms, "Nini..."
Xiao Li reached out and covered Qin Xiao’s mouth, "Uncle, there’s nothing you need to say. I understand. You just need to come back safely, and bring Big Brother back with you."
There was a reason for Qin Tan’s disappearance this time. According to the people who protected He Jie and the children, those who attacked them were mercenaries.
The master instructed them to first protect the Young Madam and the two Young Masters and retreat. When they went back, the master was already missing.
Employing mercenaries indicates that this was a targeted action.
Someone wants to harm Qin Tan, or rather, someone wants to harm the Qin Family.
Going to M Country to find Qin Tan at a time like this is equally dangerous for Qin Xiao.
Qin’s mother understood this and wanted to stop Qin Xiao. But with Qin Tan missing, she couldn’t bring herself to say those words.
Xiao Li also understood. Despite her worries, she wouldn’t stop Qin Xiao, just wishing for his safe return.
Qin Xiao lowered his head and kissed Xiao Li, "I will definitely come back safely."
Xiao Li forced a smile, "I’ll pack your luggage for you."
Xiao Li said this and tried to push Qin Xiao away, but Qin Xiao didn’t let go, "There’s nothing much to pack, just a couple of clothes will do.
Nini, I don’t know how long I’ll be gone. I promised Mianmian to take her and her brother out to play, so it will have to be postponed. You need to explain it to her for me.
Also, I’ve always had Qin Zilong keep an eye on Xiao Yan’s condition. She has been very cautious and has been quiet for months, but this month there’s been some movement.
Qin Zilong has already traced a few things. Once I go abroad, I’ll be out of reach here. You can maintain contact with Qin Zilong and keep a close eye on Xiao Yan.
I’ve told Qin Zilong, if Xiao Yan makes a move, tell me immediately. While I’m not in the country, he’ll relay it to you. You need to be cautious and avoid her, protect yourself, and wait for my return."
Xiao Li shook her head, "Even if Xiao Yan makes a move, she’s still in prison and can’t hurt me, so don’t worry about that.
But you, going overseas, into someone else’s territory, with the Poison God lurking in the dark to bite you, you must be careful."
Qin Xiao held Xiao Li tight, "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. I’ve also contacted Bai Yu. The Bai Family has some connections in M Country and will help me find brother."
