After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Clearly, Xiao Mingyang was still holding a grudge about what had just happened, and his tone was somewhat mocking.

But Lin Yuqing wasn't joking at all. She looked at Xiao Mingyang seriously and said, "Even if Xuan'er is smart, he's still a child. It's obviously too much to ask him to face the huge Xiao Group alone."

Seeing Lin Yuqing's worried expression, Xiao Mingyang put away his joke, stood up and pulled Lin Yuqing onto his lap, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jincheng let Xuan'er into the company to lull the veterans into a false sense of security and prevent him from taking any responsibility. You know, he is my son. Even if Xiao Jincheng wants Xuan'er to accept the Xiao family now, he has to consider what I will do."

Although Lin Yuqing understood Xiao Mingyang's words, she couldn't stop worrying. Perhaps only by taking her child away from this scheming place could she truly feel at ease.

Lin Yuqing lowered her gaze slowly and sighed softly, saying, "If only there were someone by Xuan'er's side to help take care of her."

"Yes, that's true. It's a pity that Xiao Jincheng is too cautious, otherwise I would have found a way to plant one of my own people next to Xuan'er."

Looking at Xiao Mingyang with annoyance, Lin Yuqing thought to herself, "This man must be doing this on purpose!"

Lin Yuqing didn't care who was by Xuan'er's side; with Xiao Mingyang around, he would definitely protect Xuan'er. However, she was worried about another person—someone who had helped her time and time again, but disappeared when she needed help the most.

Seeing that Xiao Mingyang was not going to face her question directly, Lin Yuqing had no choice but to say bluntly, "Sigh, if Da Zhong were here, that would be great. He is knowledgeable and quick-witted, and he would definitely be able to protect Xuan'er."

Xiao Mingyang knew that Lin Yuqing had deliberately asked that question to inquire about Da Zhong's situation. Unfortunately, Xiao Mingyang hadn't obtained much information about Da Zhong, only knowing that the man was still in the Xiao family.

If Xiao Mingyang told Lin Yuqing the truth, the little woman would definitely worry again, so he just said ambiguously, "Da Zhong is not our personal bodyguard. After all, he is a doctor and will be going back to the clinic in the future. Let's not put too much hope on Da Zhong."

"I understand what you're saying, but..." Lin Yuqing was speechless for a moment, unsure how to express what was on her mind.

Leaning down to kiss Lin Yuqing's forehead, Xiao Mingyang said, "I understand, you're worried about Da Zhong. But Yuqing, you have to remember, you can't always think the worst. Da Zhong's situation isn't great right now, but he's not in any danger. Besides, I'm here. Just give me a little more time, and I'll definitely find out about Da Zhong."

Looking up at Xiao Mingyang, Lin Yuqing asked with a pained expression, "Can't we confront Xiao Jincheng? Let him hand over the bell, and we can discuss whatever he wants."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mingyang snorted coldly and said, "I've spoken to Xiao Jincheng about this, but that old fox is very cunning. He kept making excuses and refused to release the person. When I asked him to name his terms, he said we had to give up Xuan'er. He has no sincerity in cooperating at all!"

"What should we do then..." Lin Yuqing sighed deeply, her voice filled with melancholy. "Sigh, how am I going to explain this to Doctor Wan?"

"No matter what happens, I'll handle it, so don't worry. Your most important task right now is to take good care of Xuan'er. We've finally reunited, so we need to make it up to Xuan'er, right?"

Nodding silently, Lin Yuqing leaned on Xiao Mingyang's shoulder, thinking, "Why does everything always seem to go wrong? When will things finally settle down?"

In just a few days, Da Zhong had lost a lot of weight, but his eyes were still bright and alert. He looked at the birds flying outside the window, lost in thought.

"I never expected you to pull through."

The ghostly sound did not cause the bell to tremble in the slightest; it didn't even blink, as if it hadn't heard anything at all.

Slowly approaching the large clock, Xiao Jincheng stopped behind him, placing his hands on his knees. Although he felt slighted, there was no anger in Xiao Jincheng's eyes.

"What, the drugs didn't destroy your willpower, but they did damage your hearing?"

With a cold snort, Da Zhong tilted his head slightly and said disdainfully, "You don't need to test me. I've already said that cocoa hydrocarbon II is useless to me. Since I can extract cocoa hydrocarbon II, I can resist its temptation. Otherwise, I would have been addicted to drugs long ago and turned into a pile of bones."

Although Da Zhong's tone was full of mockery towards Xiao Jincheng, he had the right to say so, so Xiao Jincheng was not angry. Instead, he looked at Da Zhong with admiration and said, "If Lilith had half of your willpower, she wouldn't be in this situation today."

"Sigh, because of you, I lost a capable assistant. Isn't it normal to have you follow me and take Lilith's place?"

"It was you who planned to abandon Lilith, what does that have to do with me?" Da Zhong showed no mercy to Xiao Jincheng, sneering, "I'm just an excuse. Even without me, someone else would have been found to get rid of Lilith. From the day you decided on Xuan'er, it was destined that Lilith would be kicked out, so I don't need to pay for this outcome, do I?"

Seeing that Da Zhong had endured the torment for many days and was still able to refute him clearly and logically, Xiao Jincheng couldn't help but admire Da Zhong even more and was even more reluctant to give up on this young man.

With a faint light in his eyes, Xiao Jincheng was not angry even though his innermost thoughts had been exposed. Instead, he clapped his hands, his face full of admiration.

“Young man, you are right, but using you and bringing you under my command are not contradictory at all.”

Seeing that Xiao Jincheng still didn't want to give up, Da Zhong said helplessly, "Then tell me, what conditions can you offer that will tempt me?"

Before Xiao Jincheng could say anything, Da Zhong quickly stopped him, saying, "Stop talking about fame, fortune, and status. If I wanted to, I would have been successful long ago. Can you please say something new?"

"Then what do you want?"

"Well..." Da Zhong paused deliberately, then said, "I want a comfortable life, where I don't have to worry about enemies showing up at my door in the middle of the night before I go to sleep, and I don't have to worry about being plotted against after I wake up. You see, my requirements are very simple, right? But can you give me that kind of life?"

Taking advantage of Xiao Jincheng's moment of silence, Da Zhong shrugged and said seriously, "You see, you have no way to convince me, so you should just give up."
