Da Bai’s face was like iron.

This was clearly a group coming to bully his Da Bai.

Afraid the dishes would get cold, the group sat around the table to start dinner.

Da Bai sat next to his wife, picking up meat and vegetables for her. Seeing him so anxious, Gu Nuan hit his chopsticks: "I can do it myself, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Afraid you won’t eat." Da Bai blurted out, leaving the others at the table speechless.

Gu Nuan noticed the gazes shot her way, her face slightly flushed, and she secretly glared at her husband: "Who said that? I’ll eat more than you in the end."

"I eat five bowls. Do you eat six?"

Gu Nuan buried her head in her meal.

Da Bai said, "I’ll keep count for you." Then, turning to his silent eldest son: "Your mom eats six bowls, how many do you eat?"

"Dad, I just had a bowl of noodles." The eldest monkey was already very calm and composed.

"Alright, at least eat two bowls for me." Da Bai gave the eldest son a command.

Wei Changqing leaned over to Zang Xiaolian’s ear: "Isn’t he supposed to be henpecked? Why so domineering at home?"

Zang Xiaolian was speechless about this.

After the meal, the men who didn’t cook were responsible for washing the dishes.

Lingxin brought tea leaves to her mom. Gu Nuan took the tea leaves, boiled water, and made tea for everyone.

Everything seemed orderly, but in reality, a tense atmosphere had already spread in the house.

When everyone was seated in the living room, Da Bai said to his wife, "I called Bart. He agreed to help."

Bart, who is that?

When Da Bai said this, Lao Liu was the first to jump up from his chair, questioning: "Why didn’t I hear you mention this?"

"What’s going on?" Gu Nuan asked calmly.

Zang Xiaolian pulled Lao Liu aside while explaining to Gu Nuan: "Bart is the Godfather."

The Godfather from the United States, it turned out.

This meant Mingli was involved in the mafia. But in fact, this matter might be far more complicated than everyone thought.

Those mafia gangs aren’t necessarily like on TV, where there’s some deep-seated hatred between them. Often, things spiral out of control for one word—money.

Speaking of money, that’s the strong suit of the couple, Gu Nuan and Da Bai.

The upright Lao Liu insisted again: "What’s the use of finding the Godfather? No matter how capable Bart is, he can’t control all the gangs. Moreover, many gangs don’t listen to him."

"They don’t listen to him, but they definitely listen to money. But we can’t reach them, nor can the police, yet Bart can move freely among them."

Indeed, Da Bai’s rebuttal was far clearer than Lao Liu’s thinking.

Wei Changqing furrowed his brow, unable to refute his words.

"Be more specific." Gu Nuan said to Da Bai.

"It’s like this." Zang Xiaolian helped out the tongue-tied Da Bai by explaining, "Several cameras in the building were broken, and later, according to our on-site investigation, it was near the children’s play area. Moreover, the security said some people involved in internal activities of the building ran out and told them there was chaos there. When the security rushed over, those who caused the chaos had already left. An eyewitness confirmed Mingli was with a little girl."

Da Bai took out his phone and pulled up a picture to show his wife.

At the same time, Lingxin craned her neck to look.

The picture was taken secretly by a bystander at the scene because Mingli and the little girl looked so adorable.

Gu Nuan looked at the figure in the photo; it was definitely her younger son Mingli, but standing next to him was a little girl she had never seen before.

Lingxin also had not seen this girl before and asked her dad, "Who is she? Why was Mingli with her?"

Seeing both his wife and eldest son had the same question, Da Bai sighed and told them what the eyewitness saw: "Mingli approached her first, saying he wanted to make friends with her."

Gu Nuan instantly saw a series of black lines fall on her face.

Lingxin was dumbfounded.

Was the second monkey missing because he was trying to impress a girl?

The others in the living room were equally speechless. Ou Yanan blinked for a long time, unable to understand what was going on. Lao Liu stroked his chin and said, "This is a rage for a beauty."

Regardless of whether the younger son was just playing or not with the little girl, it was undoubtedly a valuable clue and the only lead they had right now to figure out what happened to the second monkey.

"So—" Gu Nuan calmly asked, "Who is this girl?"

Da Bai slowed down his speech, trying not to frighten his wife, and said, "She is the daughter of a mafia boss in the United States."

"Their enemies want to kidnap this little girl?"

"Yes."

"What’s the reason?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Wife N as a smart person, Da Bai wouldn’t lie to hide the truth, he said, "They are gambling in a black market trading arena. Now, one side seems to be losing."
