Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 266 - Chapter 266 Chapter 266 Did the Scumbag Dad Arrive

Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Did the Scumbag Dad Arrive? Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Did the Scumbag Dad Arrive? Lu Xining was clearly confused.

The sunlight illuminated the man’s sharp and profound features, and Ji Muye repeated, “No matter what you want to do, as long as I have it, you need not hesitate at all.”

She calmly faced the earnestness and focus in his eyes, noticed the man slowly closing the distance, hesitated for a moment, then stepped back two steps and nodded, “There is indeed something that will require your cooperation later on.”

Inside the villa, Haozi was accompanying Nuonuo in building blocks.

The newly opened toy castle towered much higher than Little Dumpling,

The thin young man, who was typically accompanied by a keyboard, had slender fingertips like a piece of art, and in just a short time, he had already completed one-fifth of the castle.

“Wow! Uncle Haozi is so amazing!” Nuonuo’s eyes were full of admiration.

Seeing Ji Muye following Lu Xining into the room, the three men who heard the noise turned their heads to look, their eyes narrowing slightly, clearly treating him as an outsider.

Jing Zheng gave him a feigned smile, “Oh, what a rare visitor, the ex-brother-in-law.”

Ji Muye, who had long been aware of his hostility, was just about to give him a dismissive glance, but remembering his daughter’s concern for her Uncle Jing Zheng, he held it back.

Ji Muye said, “Hmm, Nuonuo’s uncle.”

Fu Junhang and Haozi were amused by his address for Jing Zheng, the two continued to play with the child, leaving Jing Zheng to turn his face away, speechless. He would never like this man who hurt his sister!

Little Dumpling was building blocks on the carpet in the living room.

Lu Xining had no intention of avoiding the child either. She stated her plan clearly and expressed her hope that Ji Muye would take the child back to Jingzhou.

After all, that was Ji Family’s turf.

Nuonuo, hearing that she was supposed to go back with her stepfather, broke away from her focused block-building and ran into her mother’s arms.

She did not say that she would not go with her stepfather.

Because she knew she was her mother’s weakness.

Only if she was safe, could her mother deal with the bad guys with peace of mind.

“Mommy.” Nuonuo snuggled into her embrace, small hands tightly clutching her sleeve.

Lu Xining said, “Mommy is here.”

She lifted Little Dumpling onto her lap and gently patted her back to soothe her.

Lu Xining kissed her daughter’s cheek, “Mommy’s good treasure, you go back first and play with your two brothers. Mommy will be back in a couple of days.”

The hand clutching her sleeve tightened, and Nuonuo said worriedly, “It’s dangerous, they’re big bad guys.”

“Yeah, Mommy will go and scare the big bad guys away, so they won’t hurt Nuonuo anymore.”

The little one in her arms tilted her head, pondered for a long time, and then finally nodded.

“Nuonuo will be good and wait at home with her brothers for Mommy to come back.”

“Mommy must come back soon.”

Jing Zheng took Little Dumpling from her arms and said, “Nuonuo, Uncle will take you out to the garden to play.”

As the child left, the living room was suddenly filled with tension, the silent oppression lingering on each person’s face, foretelling the approaching storm.

Lu Xining looked at her daughter playing outside the window, her words devoid of any warmth.

“I want the Gou Family to completely disappear from Port City.”

Night fell.

After putting her daughter to bed, Lu Xining changed back into black clothes, blending into the night.

Jing Zheng continued to stay in the room with the child.

Haozi set up professional electronic equipment in the living room and said to her as she came downstairs, “Everything’s ready.”

His men had already taken control of the related surveillance systems, ready to provide online support at any moment, and Fu Junhang, who had prepared his weapons long ago, followed her stride.

“Cough cough! Who are you?”

On the other side, though Gou Ruibo had been rescued from the basement, his wounds were still not properly treated. He looked at the man sitting in the shadows and questioned.

The silence in the room was only broken by the ticking of a clock.

The man’s narrow eyes were deep and frosty, and each penetrating stare was filled with an intimidating chill.

“Where is Chu Yan.”

His tone wasn’t questioning, it was affirming.

Gou Ruibo, who trembled beneath the other’s imposing manner despite not seeing the person’s face, flashed a look of confusion in his eyes. Could it be that this person didn’t know Lu Xining’s mother was Chu Yan?

Hearing it was another matter related to the Chu Family, he instinctively became more cautious.

It was impossible to discern the person’s age from his voice, but his aura alone was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

Gou Ruibo, “How would I know?”

The man standing before him was tall and imposing. Hearing his response, he let out a light snort, “Bring the person up.”

“Dad! Save me!”

Gou Ruibo, who had thought his daughter was in Lu Xining’s hands, was stunned when he saw Gou Shanmu suddenly appearing before him. He quickly reached out to help his daughter, who was tossed over by the bodyguards.

“Shanshan!”

“Dad, sob, Dad, he had someone slap me; my face is almost ruined!”

The continuous torment over the past few days had begun to blur her consciousness.

But instinctively, she still saw her father as her greatest support, oblivious to the fact that Gou Ruibo’s legs had been disabled, leaving him in no better state than her.

A dozen black cars were headed this way.

Lu Xining watched the red dot on her cell phone, tapping her fingertips on her thigh a few times. It was a small habit she had when she was thinking.

She had intentionally had someone take Gou Shanmu to the public hospital for treatment and left only two bodyguards to watch over her, creating an opportunity for the other party to take advantage of.

And someone in the shadows had indeed done so.

By now, the Gou father and daughter should have been reunited, right? But who was the person behind all this?

The Beicheng Family?

Or perhaps the Jing Family, colluding with the Gou Family?

Or could it be… those people from back then!

Lu Xining suspected that before her grandfather’s leave, he must have left behind something tantalizingly precious, which the people in the shadows had not yet found.

At first, they suspected it to be on her mother Chu Yan, but now they suspected it was in the daughter’s hands. So, did the Shang Family search vehemently for the daughter for over 20 years, truly just for paternal affection?

If so…

Then why did someone from Shang Lvxing show up before her?

A shroud of mysteries enveloped Lu Xining’s heart, making her anxious about the jade pendant Zhou Ni Juan mentioned.

Before her mother’s death, she preferred to entrust the item to Grandma Lu instead of her own daughter. Was there some hidden danger behind it?

In that case, was her mother’s death really just an accident?

Lu Xining harbored doubts in her heart.

At this moment, the car slowly entered a famous villa area in Port City.

Fu Junhang, “We’ve arrived.”

The man upstairs received the news and took the tablet passed over by his subordinate.

He caught sight of Lu Xining stepping out of the car. Her gaze was also on the villa’s gate surveillance camera, with her mouth corners slowly curling in a mocking smile.

She seemed to know that someone was watching her behind the surveillance.

“The tracker has been cut off!”

Haozi’s voice came through the earphone, laden with intense caution and worry.

Lu Xining wasn’t surprised by this.

“He knew Gou Shanmu had a tracker on her; it was a deliberate ploy to draw you over!”

Haozi’s voice carried concern as Lu Xining smiled and told him to put his mind at ease.

A house cat releasing bait to catch a mouse in the dark, little knowing there might be another of its kind disguised as a mouse, trying to capture the cat itself.

In this game of cat catching cat, whoever takes the lead has the greater odds of winning.

And now what Lu Xining was most curious about was…

Was the person upstairs from Shang Lvxing?

Or was it the weakened Shang Qing, who was rumored for over 20 years to be bedridden with illness?
