Chapter 31

“However, since I’m going to make a move, I’ll definitely use all my strength,” said Le Yu.

On the other end of the phone, the old man was silent for a moment before he said, “Is this the only way to settle the matter between you and that kid?”

Le Yu understood her father’s meaning and smiled helplessly. “The situation between me and him is like fire and water. We can’t rest until one of us dies. Please don’t think in that direction.”

Le Shuo’s breathing became heavier. After a long while, he heaved a long sigh. “How’s my eldest grandson?”

“He’s very good. He’s very smart,” said Le Yu.

“Dad only let you go back because he believed that you could handle the matter well.” Le Shuo sighed and said, “You have to take care of your own health. If you need any help, just let me know, okay?”

Le Yu smiled. “I know, Dad.”

Her childhood experience was not good, and her childhood was even more dejected and poor. Fortunately, everything was in the past.

She had gone through a lot of hardships, but fortunately, Le Shuo adopted her. Her adoptive father treated her very well, and she also felt precious fatherly love from him.

After going through so many obstacles, the ‘assassination order’ had finally been declared a success. However, the losses were still heavy, with one captain and countless soldiers dead. Fortunately, the Commander managed to survive.

Two days later, Capital News and major news agencies announced the success of the battle, and the whole country cheered in celebration. The video of Li Feng’s victory speech was played on loop on the large open-air screen of the downtown building for half a day.

Jin Cheng didn’t attend the final celebration party. Instead, he took a flight to Sea City.

Le Yu looked at the travel-worn Jin Cheng and opened the door to let him in. “Where did you come from? Why are you in such a sorry state?”

Jin Cheng stepped forward to ask for a hug, but Le Yu frowned and refused.

“I rushed here without stopping. Do you dislike me that much?” Jin Cheng said with a smile.

“What else?”

Jin Cheng put down his luggage and looked around the house. “You’ll be living here for a while? This is too simple!”

Le Yu rolled her eyes at him and sat back in her seat. “Young Master Jin, you call this detached apartment shabby? This is really a young master.”

Jin Cheng took the water from Ting Yu and sat next to Le Yu, looking at her with interest.

Li Bei stood beside Le Lin, frowning slightly as he asked, “Who is he? He seems to be very close to Mommy.”

Le Ning raised her hand and answered, “He’s Uncle Jin, Mommy’s good friend.”

Le Lin pursed his lips. “He’s also Mommy’s ambiguous partner.”

Li Bei and Le Lin looked at each other and found the same thing in each other’s eyes. Only Le Ning walked over innocently and politely greeted Jin Cheng.

Compared to Le Lin, who had always held some unknown hostility towards him, Jin Cheng did like this sweet little girl more. “Uncle has prepared a gift for baby Ning Ning!”

Ning Ning’s eyes lit up.

The gift he gave to Le Ning was from a foreign luxury toy brand. It was difficult for Jin Cheng to think about coaxing the child as soon as he came back from the frontline. This was also to win Le Yu’s favor.

Looking at the two little fellows standing behind him, Jin Cheng smiled and said, “Hurry up and come over. Everyone has a share.”

Le Yu looked at Le Lin’s frowning little brows, which looked like they were about to pinch a mosquito to death, and said, “You can’t be rude.” Ever since she had saved Li Feng, she had been this lazy, and she couldn’t lift her spirits.

Le Lin stepped forward to take the things, gave a perfunctory thank you, and left.

Li Bei looked at Jin Cheng and did not accept his gift. This man was his daddy’s competitor, and he had to stand firmly on his daddy’s side.

Jin Cheng was a little surprised to see Li Bei coldly turn around and leave. He turned to Le Yu and said, “What’s wrong with your two sons? Why do they all dislike me so much?”

Le Yu gave him a look and said nothing.

Jin Cheng noticed that something was wrong with Le Yu and asked, “My dear, what’s wrong?”

Le Yu shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Jin Cheng looked at her pale lips and asked, “Did you get injured when you were on a mission at the border?”

Le Yu frowned slightly. “How did you know?”

“The old man pulled me along to carry out a few breakthrough missions. When I came back, I heard from the chief-of-staff that the people from Saint Gate had been there.” Jin Cheng explained, “Speaking of which, what are you thinking? Why did you save Li Feng?”

Le Yu looked at him and said after a long while, “I’ll do it for Li Bei’s sake.”
