Chapter 276: Pleasing His Father-In-Law

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next afternoon, Qiu Tong was awakened from a nightmare.

The dazzling sunlight outside made it difficult for her to open her eyes. The effects of the truth serum and Jin Yang’s torment made her body ache and tired.

The extremely realistic nightmare made Qiu Tong panic. She wanted to turn over and sit up, but a pair of cold and delicate hands reached over and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

Qiu Tong turned around in surprise to see the children surrounding her. Their eyes were filled with worry.

Qiu Xingyuan pursed his lips and placed the thermometer in her mouth.

Qiu Tong waited for two minutes in a daze. She heaved a sigh of relief after he took it out and read the numbers carefully.

Qiu Xingyu pounced into her arms and rubbed her face coquettishly. “Mommy, you scared us all!”

Qiu Xingqiao nodded. “Uncle Jin Yang carried you back last night. He didn’t allow us to disturb you and said that you needed to rest.”

Qiu Tong recalled the intense battle last night and could understand the reasoning behind Jin Yang’s words.

Qiu Xingyu tugged at her pajamas. Her sparkling eyes caught a glimpse of the red mark on her neck as she rubbed it with her short fingers. “Mommy’s neck was bitten by a mosquito! I will stop the itch by applying some ointment on Mommy!”

Qiu Tong’s ears turned red at her childish words. She hurriedly carried them out of the room.

Before leaving, she took out a thin scarf from her closet and wrapped it around her neck. When she looked at herself in the mirror, the scarf did look rather out of place.

In the living room, Jin Yang and Shao An compared the photos of the members of the Vulture Organization they had taken last night. They found that no information could be found on them anywhere, even on the Dark Web.

It seemed that the Vulture Organization was much more powerful than they had imagined.

Qiu Tong carried Little Yu as she sat beside Jin Yang. He thoughtfully handed her a cup of tea.

Qiu Xingyu opened her arms coquettishly to let Jin Yang hug her. She tilted her head in confusion and stared at the red mark on Jin Yang’s Adam’s apple before turning to look at Qiu Tong again. “Eh? That’s strange! Why are the mosquitoes in the villa specifically biting Mommy and Uncle Jin Yang?”

When Qiu Rong heard her words, he halted his footsteps and turned to carry Qiu Xingyu away.

As he did so, he shot Jin Yang a dirty look. Qiu Tong blinked at Jin Yang, who shrugged helplessly.

It seemed like it would take a long time for the President to get his father-in-law’s approval…

Qiu Tong summarized the information she garnered last night to Jin Yang and Shao An.

They could confirm that the Vulture Organization’s purpose in coming to S City was for the human modification plan. Bo Lang was a high-ranking member of the organization and Qiu Tong felt that he might be able to reach its core.

Jin Yang stared at the computer screen solemnly. He had a nagging feeling that things were going too smoothly.

“Bo Lang is probably still suspicious about you. I’ll send someone disguised as you to hang around the area near the black market. I hope this can convince the other party…”

Jin Yang spoke in a determined manner. He would not let Qiu Tong take such a risk again.

Qiu Tong smiled and threw herself onto the sofa. She rubbed her temples and closed her eyes lazily.

“Now, we can only wait for Bo Lang to contact me!”

…

In the children’s room, the door was closed.

The four children, led by Qiu Xingyuan, sat around the bed. Imitating Qiu Tong and Jin Yang, they carried out their own meeting in a solemn manner. Qiu Xingyu raised her arm high and said sweetly, “Big Brother, Second Brother, Brother Ye Luan!”

“Grandpa seems to hate Uncle Jin Yang very much. I’m afraid that Uncle Jin Yang will be chased away by Grandpa. Then, we won’t have a place to stay!”

“Mommy will be very sad too. We have to think of a way to help Uncle Jin Yang and get Grandpa’s approval!”

Qiu Xingqiao nodded valiantly. He could also tell that Qiu Rong hated Jin Yang.

Every time Qiu Rong passed by the living room, he would turn around and take a walk in the garden courtyard whenever he saw Jin Yang. Qiu Xingyuan frowned and asked, “Do you have any good ideas?”

Qiu Xingyu chewed on her finger and muttered, “Every time I act spoiled with Grandpa, he’ll be very happy.”

Qiu Xingyuan, Qiu Xingqiao and Ye Luan: “…”

The children discussed for the entire morning but could not come up with a definite plan. They could only postpone this matter for the time being.

In the courtyard of the villa, two loaded trucks were parked by the roadside.

The president’s guards quickly moved dozens of heavy metal boxes onto the courtyard. Qiu Tong walked out in an apron and stood beside Jin Yang. “What are these?”

Jin Yang curled his thin lips smugly and whispered in her ear, “It’s high-precision laboratory test equipment.”

“They’re all from the first-rate laboratories in the military. I had Shao An bring back an entire set.”

“This way, it will be very convenient for Uncle Qiu and Qiu Xingyuan. I hope this can earn me some brownie points.”

Jin Yang hugged her shoulders and gently kissed her cheek.

Qiu Tong didn’t expect him to be so considerate. She was so touched that she beamed happily as she leaned her head on his shoulder.
