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, âYou neednât worry on my behalf. Lin Wan is an excellent partner.â
Curious about Wei Xuan, Liao Ning looked directly at him. âWhat about Wei Xuan? Arenât you going to fill me in?â
âWei Xuan is the youngest member in our team, and heâs treated like a younger brother by everyone. Despite not possessing exceptional talent, he has earned the respect of his peers.â
âDue 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.â
Zhou Ling smiled. âSurprisingly, Wei Xuan managed to astonish everyone by tampering with our spaceship.â
âDonât be disheartened,â Liao Ning comforted him.
Zhou Ling could feel her warmth. With a smile, he explained, âInitially, like everyone else, I was furious at Wei Xuanâs 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.â
Liao Ning found it perplexing. âAre you out of your mind?â
Amused by her serious expression, Zhou Ling couldnât 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. âRegrettably, my sanity remains intact. Iâm genuinely grateful to Wei Xuan for taking on the task of sabotaging the spaceship.â
âIt was precisely because Wei Xuan meddled with the spaceship that my brothers and I had a chance to survive. Wei Xuanâs 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.â
Zhou Ling paused briefly. âOne could say that Wei Xuan risked the wrath of the
Wang family, putting his own life in jeopardy, all to save ours.â
Liao Ning let out a sigh. âI see. I had thought that he was bribed by the Wang family to replace you and get rid of you. I didnât expect him to risk his own safety to save you. What great brothers!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYes, Gao Dian made the right choice. Itâs just that Wei Xuan feels he has let us down and hasnât returned to the team for a while. Heâs currently in the logistics department.â Zhou Lingâs face showed signs of frustration as he spoke.
Understanding Wei Xuanâs emotions, Liao Ning could only offer words of comfort to Zhou Ling. âDonât be too anxious. Perhaps Wei Xuan has his own reasons. You mentioned that heâs pretending to be with the Wang family, so itâs better for him to remain in the logistics department, which is currently under their control.â
âYouâre right.â
âWhere is Nai Nai?â Liao Ning hadnât seen Liao Nai since her return and couldnât help but wonder where he had gone.
âI told him that Iâm going to pick up Mili from the Ping family tomorrow. Heâs thrilled about it. Heâs probably browsing Star Web with Uncle Li, searching for a gift for Mili.â
Liao Ning was taken aback. She hadnât expected to encounter Villain No. 2 so soon. Considering her evil value, she couldnât help but worry. âThings havenât 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?â
Liao Ningâs 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 didnât bring her back, it could potentially cause trouble for the Ping family.
âIf 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.â
Liao Ning nodded. âIâll accompany you tomorrow. Letâs bring Nai Nai along.â
Zhou Ling frowned and disagreed with her suggestion. âYou and Nai Nai should stay at the Zhou residence and wait for our return. Iâm afraid the Wang family might cause trouble along the way. Your safety will be at risk.â
âBut 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 canât take care of him, Mili will be much safer with him by her side.â Liao Ningâs gaze was firm, so Zhou Ling had no choice but to agree with her to bringLiao Nai along..
