After Liao Ning returned to the Zhou family, she sought out Zhou Ling and informed him about the events of the day. She made sure to mention Wei Xuan as well.

As Liao Ning spoke about her collaboration with Lin Wan, Zhou Ling listened attentively and responded with a smile, saying, “You needn’t worry on my behalf. Lin Wan is an excellent partner.”

Curious about Wei Xuan, Liao Ning looked directly at him. “What about Wei Xuan? Aren’t you going to fill me in?”

“Wei Xuan is the youngest member in our team, and he’s treated like a younger brother by everyone. Despite not possessing exceptional talent, he has earned the respect of his peers.”

“Due to his age similarity with Gao Yuan, Gao Dian regards him as a younger sibling. Under pressure, Gao Dian even made an exception and promoted him to our team. He assured me repeatedly that he would look after Wei Xuan.”

Zhou Ling smiled. “Surprisingly, Wei Xuan managed to astonish everyone by tampering with our spaceship.”

“Don’t be disheartened,” Liao Ning comforted him.

Zhou Ling could feel her warmth. With a smile, he explained, “Initially, like everyone else, I was furious at Wei Xuan’s act of betrayal. However, after investigating the matter and discovering that Wei Xuan was coerced by his biological father, my anger subsided. Instead, I felt a sense of gratitude towards him.”

Liao Ning found it perplexing. “Are you out of your mind?”

Amused by her serious expression, Zhou Ling couldn’t help but laugh. His shoulders shook as laughter echoed through the air. After a while, he managed to compose himself, though a faint smile lingered on his lips. “Regrettably, my sanity remains intact. I’m genuinely grateful to Wei Xuan for taking on the task of sabotaging the spaceship.”

“It was precisely because Wei Xuan meddled with the spaceship that my brothers and I had a chance to survive. Wei Xuan’s father wanted him to destroy the engine, but instead, he merely altered the fuel, causing the spaceship to shut down during the return journey. This afforded us an opportunity to escape before the ship exploded.”

Zhou Ling paused briefly. “One could say that Wei Xuan risked the wrath of the

Wang family, putting his own life in jeopardy, all to save ours.”

Liao Ning let out a sigh. “I see. I had thought that he was bribed by the Wang family to replace you and get rid of you. I didn’t expect him to risk his own safety to save you. What great brothers!” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

‘Yes, Gao Dian made the right choice. It’s just that Wei Xuan feels he has let us down and hasn’t returned to the team for a while. He’s currently in the logistics department.” Zhou Ling’s face showed signs of frustration as he spoke.

Understanding Wei Xuan’s emotions, Liao Ning could only offer words of comfort to Zhou Ling. “Don’t be too anxious. Perhaps Wei Xuan has his own reasons. You mentioned that he’s pretending to be with the Wang family, so it’s better for him to remain in the logistics department, which is currently under their control.”

“You’re right.”

“Where is Nai Nai?” Liao Ning hadn’t seen Liao Nai since her return and couldn’t help but wonder where he had gone.

“I told him that I’m going to pick up Mili from the Ping family tomorrow. He’s thrilled about it. He’s probably browsing Star Web with Uncle Li, searching for a gift for Mili.”

Liao Ning was taken aback. She hadn’t expected to encounter Villain No. 2 so soon. Considering her evil value, she couldn’t help but worry. “Things haven’t been resolved yet. It might not be wise to pick up Millie right now. If the Wang family sees an opportunity to attack us, will Mili be safe?”

Liao Ning’s concerns were valid, but the Wang family had their eyes on them now. They were aware that Mili was currently with the Ping family. If they didn’t bring her back, it could potentially cause trouble for the Ping family.

“If Mili stays with the Ping family, it will put her and the Ping family at risk. The best course of action is to bring her back to my side.”

Liao Ning nodded. “I’ll accompany you tomorrow. Let’s bring Nai Nai along.”

Zhou Ling frowned and disagreed with her suggestion. “You and Nai Nai should stay at the Zhou residence and wait for our return. I’m afraid the Wang family might cause trouble along the way. Your safety will be at risk.”

“But you and Mili will also be in danger. I used to be a bounty hunter, and having me around will provide an extra layer of security. Nai Nai has been undergoing special training recently, and with his abilities, he can protect Mili. If we can’t take care of him, Mili will be much safer with him by her side.” Liao Ning’s gaze was firm, so Zhou Ling had no choice but to agree with her to bringLiao Nai along..
