Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 189

"Has he gone mad?"

"He's already being quite humane. He even covered the child's head with clothing."

"..."

Mr. Jefferson fell silent briefly during the conversation with his bodyguard. After a moment, he found his voice again: "That sounds rather strange."

The bodyguard didn't have time to ponder what was strange, his tone becoming serious: "I'll go ahead and tell him to stop!"

With that, he strode forward quickly, reaching the man in a few steps: "Mr. Ke Muning! Mr. Jefferson is looking for you. Please stop what you're doing..."

Ke Muning glanced at him: "Perfect timing. Where are the people in charge of operating the cable car? Call them over."

As he finished speaking, Xiao Ya raised her hand to adjust the oversized coat wrapped around her, and a small head poked out.

A golden head.

That had turned black.

While the bodyguard was stunned, he noticed the golden wig at Ke Muning's feet... So the head hadn't fallen off, just the wig. This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you going down the mountain?" the bodyguard asked, coming to his senses.

Before Ke Muning could nod, the bodyguard quickly added: "The cable car can only take you to the opposite peak. It's too dark now, and the fog is heavy. Going down the mountain is too dangerous."

Ke Muning asked: "Does your boss have a residence on the opposite peak?"

"Yes..."

"Then we'll go there," Ke Muning said.

And the bodyguard was surprised to find that this sentence seemed to be directed at the little girl he was holding.

The bodyguard suppressed his surprise and continued: "But there's no hot water or heating available there at the moment."

Ke Muning: "..."

His cold, chiseled face seemed to become even more frigid.

"Never mind then," he said.

The bodyguard could clearly sense that his mood wasn't good.

"Could you put her down now? How about we return to the banquet hall?" The bodyguard extended his hand.

Ke Muning lowered his gaze, staring at the man's hand, and asked: "What are you trying to do?"

The bodyguard felt it was absurd. Shouldn't I be asking you that?

"Do you want to hold her?" Ke Muning asked.

The bodyguard nodded slightly: "Yes, I'll take her down. You're standing in a high position right now, with no extra railings nearby. She could easily fall..."

"Move aside," Ke Muning said coldly, then held Xiao Ya even tighter as he walked past the bodyguard.

The bodyguard's heart was in his throat, his eyes closely following Ke Muning's figure. But fortunately... no tragic incident of being thrown off the walkway occurred.

The little girl was held in Ke Muning's arms, her chin resting on the man's broad shoulder.

She's looking at me, the bodyguard thought. And surprisingly, there wasn't a trace of fear on her face...

Opening the door at the end of the glass walkway with one hand, a wave of warmth enveloped their bodies once again.

Jefferson's voice followed closely: "Ke Muning, you..."

His voice cut off abruptly, then resumed normally: "Good, still alive. ... Now return her to the Gui Family."

Jefferson lowered his eyes and said to Xiao Ya: "Little one, leaving adults isn't a good choice."

Xiao Ya responded softly: "Mm, I've chosen an adult for myself."

"What?"

Ke Muning pointed at himself: "Obviously, I'm the reliable adult she's chosen."

Jefferson was confused: "Hey, what's going on here?"

Ke Muning ignored him and only asked Xiao Ya: "Do you want to go back?"

"No."

The corner of Ke Muning's lips curved upward, feeling as if he had merely wanted to open a random blind box but ended up with the ultimate grand prize.

Ke Muning asked Jefferson: "Did you hear that?"

"Why?" Jefferson murmured, "Why?"

"But you need to hide me well," Xiao Ya said in a low voice.

Ke Muning paused: "Hm?"

"From now on, I'm a missing person. You need to hide me away, so no one else can see me."

Jefferson was completely baffled. What was this?

A script she had written herself?

"Why?" Ke Muning was also confused, "When a dragon obtains a treasure, of course it should boast to the whole world."

"Because we need to kill Wei Lin," Xiao Ya said in a small voice.

Jefferson thought he had misheard: "What is she saying? Is she really a child from the Gui Family?"

Ke Muning was even more unable to describe his feelings at this moment.

He had thought she would help Wei Lin load the bullets and then point the gun at him.

But in the end, it was she who wanted to kill Wei Lin.

It couldn't be... for his sake, could it? Ke Muning knew this idea was too absurd, so he calmed down a bit and asked: "Did Wei Lin offend you? Oh, I see. The Gui Family hasn't had a suitable heir for a long time, causing people to gradually regard Wei Lin as the leader. But now with you here, Wei Lin wants to compete with you for power..."

Jefferson raised an eyebrow.

So that's how it is.

Then... is this little girl planning to use Ke Muning's hostility towards the Gui Family?

"You want to use me to eliminate Wei Lin? Hm? Pretend to be kidnapped by me?" Ke Muning voiced the question in Jefferson's mind.

But at this moment, the little girl shook her head.

Xiao Ya asked: "Many people came to today's banquet?"

"Yes..."

"What about Sally? Is he here?"

"He's not."

"Then what about Kurokawa Shin?"

"He's here."

Jefferson stroked his chin: "The names you mentioned all seem to be enemies of the Gui Family."

Xiao Ya nodded: "Mm, just pick one of them randomly." After all, they're enemies.

Jefferson was a bit surprised: "Then why not choose Ke Muning?"

"Because from today on, the Gui Family and he are no longer enemies, so he can't take the blame for this," Xiao Ya said firmly.

"...You decide?"

"Mm." Xiao Ya nodded slightly, and with the help of a translator, slowly said: "From this moment on, I've been kidnapped by Kurokawa Shin. The person who came with me is Wei Lin, he must bear some responsibility, so he must undergo investigation. My uncle will discover evidence of Wei Lin's betrayal of the family during the investigation."

"That's it," Xiao Ya concluded.

Jefferson fell silent.

After a while, his voice sounded again: "How old are you?"

"Seven years old."

Ke Muning was both elated and somewhat proud.

He asked Jefferson: "Is she smart?"

Jefferson nodded slightly.

But what are you so happy about? What does this have to do with you? Jefferson couldn't figure it out.

"Saying this in front of me, aren't you afraid I'll tell others?" Jefferson looked at Xiao Ya.

Xiao Ya asked: "Would that harm your interests?"

"No," Jefferson paused, "But I don't benefit either."

"You do benefit."

"How?"

"Ke Muning will stand with the Gui Family and you."

"Ha, haha, alright, even if you can represent your family's stance. As for Ke Muning..."

Xiao Ya turned to look at Ke Muning.

Ke Muning didn't speak.

Instead, Jefferson continued: "I can't think of a reason for him to indulge you."

"Do you know why I don't want to be enemies with Ke Muning?" Xiao Ya asked him.

"Why?"

"Because I like him very much, he's like a father to me," Xiao Ya paused, then said: "This is also the reason Ke Muning indulges me."

Jefferson looked at Ke Muning with a sense of wonder: "Is that so?"

Ke Muning's gaze flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes."

She had firmly chosen him.

What else could he do?

"But little one, there's a problem now... I don't allow anyone to be kidnapped at my banquet," Jefferson spread his hands.
