Chapter 471 - 470: The Person Who Rushed Out
After learning about these details regarding Bei Jiale, Wu Yuekai immediately dispatched people to investigate. Such a dangerous person must be closely monitored!"Do you really have that list?" Wu Yuekai asked Luo Xudong.
Luo Xudong shook his head, "No."
Wu Yuekai frowned slightly, "In that case, either someone deceived her, or she deceived you."
"The latter is more likely," Luo Xudong replied.
Calling it deception might be a bit much, as he never trusted Bei Jiale. He was in the middle of a mission, suddenly encountering such an incident, with no time to handle it. He had to temporarily hand it over to his subordinates for safekeeping, planning to interrogate her thoroughly later. Unfortunately, she still managed to escape.
Luo Xudong felt that Bei Jiale had not been truthful from the start, disguising herself as Beisitian to meet him, likely with another purpose. However, he didn’t know what that purpose was.
He even suspected whether the name ’Bei Jiale’ was real, but after confirmation from Zhou Biwu, it seemed genuine.
The appearance of Bei Jiale took everyone by surprise, catching them off guard. If she was a villain, wouldn’t Beisitian unjustly bear false accusations?
This was what Wu Yuekai and Luo Xudong were concerned about.
"And one more thing." Wu Yuekai put down his teacup, "Isn’t it time for you two to have a baby?"
Beisitian: "..."
Luo Xudong: "..."
The topic changed rather quickly.
Beisitian felt the gaze from Luo Xudong and suddenly looked away in embarrassment, cheeks flushed, turned to give Wu Yuekai a side-eye, and said in a low voice, "I have something to do, I’m leaving first." With that, she left.
Wu Yuekai rubbed his nose and said to Luo Xudong, "That girl, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about with such life matters. Xudong, is there something wrong with you?"
Luo Xudong’s face turned dark, and he no longer wanted to pay him any attention, "I’m heading back to the base."
Wu Yuekai watched them leave one after another, snorted, and grumpily remarked, "The old man specifically reminded you, and such big tempers you both have!"
Li Xuejun walked in holding a hot water bottle, catching the last sentence, and felt an urge to chuckle. The old commander, you’re thick-skinned with age, but the young couple is still young. Especially in front of Comrade Xiao Bei, how can you mention having children!
Wu Yuekai’s gaze was like a torch, suddenly looking at Li Xuejun, "Were you just thinking something?"
Li Xuejun broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly saying, "You reminded them out of good intentions, why did they just leave? Next time, I won’t bother with them."
"You can’t just ignore them! Young people are unpredictable; without the watch of the elders, how would that work!"
Whatever you say goes, whatever you say is right.
"If they have a child, should the child call me grandpa or grandpa-in-law?" Wu Yuekai asked, looking conflicted.
Li Xuejun kept his face emotionless; even if they have a child, does it have any relation to you?
Wu Yuekai had already made up his mind that if they have a child, he would either be the honorary grandpa or the honorary grandpa-in-law, he had to occupy one role!
He wanted to be the honorary grandpa, but he wanted to consider it from Beisitian’s side, leaving him in a dilemma.
When Luo Xudong rushed out, Beisitian was leisurely walking in the alley, and upon hearing footsteps, she knew he was coming.
"I’ll take you to your workplace," Luo Xudong said.
Beisitian nodded and didn’t refuse. She had come during her lunch break, and since it was almost time, if she walked back or took public transport, she would be late.
"What are you thinking?" Luo Xudong asked while driving.
Beisitian knew what he was referring to, turned her head slightly to look out the window, "...Having one would be nice too, but I’m worried..."
She didn’t finish the sentence, though Luo Xudong understood what she was implying.
The Mystic Doctors had already started showing signs, now with the mysterious Bei Jiale, even if Beisitian did nothing, trouble might find its way to her. With such a scenario, would they be able to protect their child?
After making a victorious return, Luo Xudong thought he was strong. Reality, however, slapped him with a harsh truth: having a capable wife means he needed to become even stronger to protect her!
Luo Xudong never regretted his decision, regardless of who Beisitian was, Mystic Doctor or not, she was the woman he loved, and he would protect her with his life!
Growing stronger to wield absolute armed power was Luo Xudong’s greatest wish, to shield Beisitian beneath his wings.
This was why Luo Xudong was on missions eight out of ten days. Everyone knew the new guy was a war maniac, never failing an assigned task, always completing them perfectly!
Luo Xudong agreed with Beisitian; if they had a child, when Beisitian gradually became more prominent, would they become a target?
Yet, they both simultaneously realized the struggle would likely persist. If they didn’t have a child now, when would they possibly wait until?
After careful consideration, they both made the same decision: take no measures, just let it be. If a child comes, then so be it!
This wasn’t irresponsibility on their part. After all, if this struggle didn’t truly begin until a decade later, how long would it take to end?
Reflecting on it, they felt that preserving a bloodline was paramount. Wu Yuekai still wielded significant influence, and Luo Xudong was swiftly climbing the ranks like stepping stones. Now seemed the most fitting time.
"I’ll do my best," Luo Xudong said earnestly.
Beisitian reached over and pinched his waist, this slight pain to Luo Xudong felt like an ant bite, prompting him to look at her, "Why did you pinch me?"
"Because you’re not being serious!" Beisitian playfully scolded.
Luo Xudong was momentarily stunned but soon realized, chuckling softly, "Who’s not being serious? I said I’ll strive to complete my missions, so I can protect my family as soon as possible."
Beisitian’s cheeks turned crimson instantly, feeling the urge to get out of the car, when her hand was suddenly held by a pair of warm hands, meeting a pair of smiling eyes.
"I’ll give it my all!"
Beisitian pursed her lips, not daring to look again, turned to gaze out of the window, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Suddenly, a sharp brake ensued, Luo Xudong quickly controlled the steering wheel with one hand while using his other arm to block Beisitian, preventing her from hitting the windshield as her body lunged forward.
Luo Xudong steadied the car, his anger surging, the cold aura enveloping him. If his driving skills weren’t sharp, the person who suddenly dashed out wouldn’t just be hit, but Beisitian would be injured as well!
The figure that dashed out had disheveled hair, was in ragged clothes, and was sitting dazedly in front of the car, staring blankly ahead, eyes unfocused, either scared or shocked.
Upon seeing the person’s face, Beisitian’s heart was struck, she exclaimed, "This can’t be!"
