Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 240: Stepping onto a Pirate Ship_1

"Mengmeng!"

Xiao Ming abruptly stood up, "Don’t panic, speak slowly, where are you now? What happened?"

"I... I’m at the hospital with mom... Grandpa died, and they started beating me and my mom, saying it was me who killed Grandpa... Uncle, I didn’t, I really didn’t do anyth... Ah!"

The call was cut off amidst Gu Zhimeng’s scream, and Xiao Ming’s complexion had already turned grim.

Although Lu Shijun was a rather decent person, his character was weak and he was easily manipulated.

Xiao Ming didn’t need to guess to know what despicable things had happened, and anger began to rise in his heart.

Even without the history of his past life, he had just risked his life to save a child, and it wasn’t so these bastards could hurt them!

"Jianwei, do you know which hospital Old Mr. Lu is in?"

He immediately dialed Ding Jianwei’s number.

"What do you need that for?" Ding Jianwei sensed something was off in his tone and spoke cautiously.

"Zhimeng and her mother are being bullied. Tell me!"

Ding Jianwei hesitated for a moment before sighing, "They’re in a special sanatorium in the mountains of East City.

Xiao Ming, listen to me, that place has armed guards, and it’s not somewhere that just anyone can barge into.

Moreover, I just received news that Old Mr. Lu has passed away; the Lu Family will definitely be transporting him back to the ancestral home for the wake, so even if you rush there now, you might not encounter them.

It might be better to wait for me, and we can go together..."

"I’ll head out first, just keep me updated."

Xiao Ming hung up the phone after speaking and then turned to Yang Hanqing and Xiao Bing, "I have to step out for an urgent matter, you two stay here and behave, no fighting."

"What happened?" Yang Hanqing asked.

"I’ll explain when I return."

He waved at Xiao Li and ran out of the room.

In his previous life, he had been to the Lu Family Mansion, which was also located to the east, so he got into the car and drove straight for the outskirts of East City.

Along the way, he debated for a while before finally dialing a number.

As soon as it connected, before the other side could speak, he said, "Code A19, ’Lord Yelang does not need greatness, for I am already haughty!’"

"Lord Yelang, it’s an honor to serve you," a soft female voice answered from the receiver.

"Targets: two S-level masters, and several C-level guards. Only injure, do not kill, location: Lu Family Mansion!"

"Understood. We will immediately dispatch an elite squad according to your request. Please inform us of the contact and operation methods."

"The person in charge is a young man, accompanied by a girl carrying a knife. Code name Mu Kong."

Right after the call ended, Ding Jianwei called him.

"I’ve asked our comrades on the scene, the dispute has ended, and Gu Tinglan and Little Meng mother and daughter are not seriously harmed. The Lu Family is currently preparing to transport the old man home.

Where are you?" freёweɓnovel.com

"Just left the hotel not long ago, I’m on my way to the Lu Family Mansion."

"What do you plan on doing?"

"Not much. Just simply taking Little Meng and her mother out."

"’Simply,’ you have quite a way with words."

Ding Jianwei gave a cold snort, "That’s the Lu Family, the biggest local clan, with lineage that can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, having become immensely wealthy for over two hundred years. Whether it’s wealth, connections, or foundations, they are unfathomably deep."

The Northern Dian Zhuang Family is just a parvenu in its presence, and the Yun Family is at best a brick house.

Moreover, within the Lu Family Mansion, there are no fewer than thirty armed bodyguards and two renowned masters who have made names for themselves in the jianghu.

"Who do you think you are? Do you really believe the plaything by your side is invincible?"

"That’s what I’ve got you for!" Xiao Ming laughed.

Ding Jianwei instantly lost his temper and asked helplessly, "What exactly are you planning to do? If you want my help, at least tell me the plan!"

"The favor I need from you is quite simple, Just find an excuse to make our comrades surveilling the Lu family turn a blind eye."

Ding Jianwei was startled: "What are you going to do?"

"Don’t worry." Xiao Ming said, "From what I know of the Lu family, there are no lunatics there; the odds of fatal incidents are slim.

After all, there’s no deep hatred, and I won’t let things escalate to an uncontrollable point."

"Dammit!" Ding Jianwei became anxious, "Xiao Ming, if you don’t tell me what you’re up to right now, do you believe I’ll issue a warrant for your arrest?"

Xiao Ming sighed, "Don’t you know the one thing a woman should never do is to relentlessly question a man to the point of breaking the pot to inquire about what’s inside?

You saw with your own eyes me raising dogs on the gambling boat, would dealing with the Lu family be difficult?"

Ding Jianwei was even more shocked: "Fujiwara Rika actually dares to take the risk of mobilizing the organization’s manpower to help you?"

Xiao Ming hesitated for a moment and then admitted candidly, "Have you heard of someone called Lord Yelang?"

After a long silence, Ding Jianwei spoke in a low voice, "Xiao Ming, don’t tell me you’re affiliated with that organization."

"I swear by the child I have not yet had: At present, I truly am not. As for the future, I dare not guarantee."

Ding Jianwei visibly breathed a sigh of relief, "By rights, I should have someone shadow you, then catch you all in one sweep, pulling out the organization’s secret base hidden in Lingnan."

"If you were someone who could stick to ’by rights,’ we definitely would not have become friends. Besides..."

Xiao Ming paused momentarily and said earnestly, "If in the future I must join the organization, then I can assure you, you’ll gain a very badass informant."

This time, Ding Jianwei’s silence lasted even longer; only after five or six minutes did she sigh and say, "Xiao Ming, you’re the man I currently most want to have a shot with. Don’t let me fulfill that goal in prison."

Xiao Ming laughed heartily, "Now I’m really a bit scared that you’ll arrest me.

Because, only if I go to jail will you have the chance to achieve that goal."

Ding Jianwei ignored his joke, said "Stay safe and come back unharmed," and hung up the phone.

Xiao Ming’s smile also faded away, and his expression turned resigned.

He had lied to Ding Jianwei; it wasn’t that he didn’t dare guarantee the future, but rather it was almost certain.

He would definitely become a member of the organization.

In his previous life, he was Lord Yelang’s student; all the knowledge, skills, kung fu, and even courage that he possessed were given to him by Lord Yelang.

With such profound gratitude towards his mentor, he naturally joined the organization without hesitation, traversing between darkness and light.

In this life, he thought he could stay away from such a lifestyle. Even if he had prepared to meet Lord Yelang, he only wanted to help his teacher recognize his daughter Bai Xuechao.

But now it was no longer possible.

If using Lord Yelang’s assurance to board the ship could still be equivocated, then mobilizing the organization’s manpower in the name of Lord Yelang this time was like stepping deep in with one foot.

You might get off a gambling boat, but once on a pirate ship, getting off wouldn’t happen without losing a layer of skin at minimum.

Well, things have progressed to this stage, so there’s no use lamenting or worrying; better to fight with all one’s might.

In his past life, he managed to seize the leader’s throne of the organization on his own ability; with "foresight" in hand this life, there’s no reason he wouldn’t succeed.

Once matters in Lingnan are settled, he’ll take Bai Xuechao to visit the prison. If it comes to that, he’d pay respect to his teacher once more. After all, it wouldn’t be a loss!
