Chapter 42 Backbone
Chapter 42 Backbone
They had no idea who they were facing, and it was impossible not to worry. With Bai Chen, at least they could feel more at ease. It just restricted Miaomiao's freedom. After all, what might happen after going out was changeable and uncontrollable, and it was not realistic to stay at home.
Jian Yi's voice was filled with guilt that could not be concealed: "Miao Miao is just going to make you suffer a little. You can't go out often and can only stay in this manor."
Or maybe they are not capable enough and cannot even give Miaomiao the most basic freedom.
"Don't think too much. I'm lazy. You all know that. There's nothing to see when I go out. There are men's things everywhere. I'm not interested in things built according to your male aesthetic standards. It's fine at home. Besides, didn't you say you would accompany me to the Women's Museum in a few days? It's nice to go out occasionally." Xia Miao was not trying to comfort them. What he said was the truth.
Karin Haotai: "Would you like to go to that women's museum later?"
Jian Hongyi lowered his cheek with the tip of his tongue, squinted his eyes and said, "It's okay. It just so happens that the man also thinks so. He thinks that you won't let me go out in the near future. It just so happens that we are doing the opposite of him. He never thought that we would do the opposite."
Bai Chen made the final decision: "Then go. The people around me are not pushovers. Just bring more people with you."
Hua Suzheng: "Then Miaomiao should go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow, so we can go early."
Xia Miao looked at Hua Suzheng and said, "Uncle, don't go. You don't have to accompany me all the time. Go and get busy. You don't have to keep following me around."
Hua Linhaotai thought for a moment and said, "I'll prepare some antidote pills and some self-defense powder. Miaomiao can take them with her when she goes out. It can also be used for self-defense. How do you think?"
Jian Hongyi clapped his hands together and said excitedly, "That's fine. I'll get the small weapons."
Bai Chen propped up his chin and looked at Jian Hongyi: "You don't have to look for them. I have a few here. I'll let Miaomiao choose one that suits her."
Jian Hongyi: "How can you, a politician, get so many good things?"
Bai Chen rolled his eyes at him unhappily, ignored him, and stood up to get his weapon.
Hua Lin Haotai also got up and went out. His laboratory had not been arranged yet in Qieting Pavilion, so he had to go back to the laboratory to get it: "Miaomiao, I'll prepare the medicine powder for you. I'll leave first and will be back in the evening." He bent down and kissed her cheek, then went out.
Bai Chen came back quickly, carrying a few boxes, none of which were very big. He placed them on the table one by one and opened the lids. Everyone came over to take a look out of curiosity.
Bai Chen waved to Xia Miao and said, "Miao Miao, come here and take a look at these rings, bracelets, necklaces, cufflinks, and brooches. Some can open hidden drug powders, some can fire, and some have knives. Which one do you like? Come and take a look."
Xia Miao looked at them but didn't dare to move, for fear of hurting herself by accident. She lay on the table, thinking they were all very beautiful.
Jian Hongyi crossed his arms and said, "What do you want to choose? Just give them all to Miaomiao. You are so stingy."
Bai Chen did not hesitate at all and was not angry at being ridiculed: "Well, you are right, I gave them all to Miaomiao. They are not difficult to operate. Miaomiao, I will teach you how to use them."
Hua Suzheng: "Miaomiao can wear this ring forever. It's time for Miaomiao to get a wedding ring too."
Ah? Miaomiao really hadn't thought about this question: "How about buying it later?"
Bai Chen said proudly: "There is no rush. I will ask someone to design a different one for each of us, and also design one for Miaomiao. The wedding ring is a wedding ring, and the weapon is a weapon."
Xia Miao looked at the ring and said, "I think this ring is very nice.
Bai Chen frowned slightly: "No matter how beautiful it is, it is still a weapon and cannot be used as our wedding ring."
Hua Suzheng smiled fondly, "Okay, it's settled then."
Bai Chen suggested: "Let them call Madam Miaomiao from now on."
"Okay." Everyone agreed.
Xia Miao: "Then are we going to have a wedding?"
Jian Yi approached Xia Miao and pecked her lips lightly: "Don't worry for now. There are too many enemies. Now is not the best time. Let's wait for a while."
Xia Miao: "Well, I'll listen to you."
Bai Chen stood up and straightened his clothes: "Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Let's go. I'll walk you around to get to know where you're going to live in the future, and see if Miaomiao's room needs anything else."
Hua Suzheng's dark eyes were gloomy. "I won't go. There are still many things to investigate. There are bastards inside who are betraying their own people. You should accompany Miaomiao for a walk."
Bai Chen sneered, his face gloomy: "You can only find some small minions, you can't find the key figures at all. We in the Bai family also have termites. I started investigating a long time ago. There are so many people and complicated social interactions. It will not be completed in a day or two. I also suspect that someone from the four major clans interfered in Miaomiao's matter."
Hua Suzheng lowered his eyes to check the things his subordinates sent him in his computer: "It's time to fix the branches. They have been indulged too much and their appetites have grown."
Xia Miao interrupted their words when they were about to persuade Hua Suzheng, her moist eyes blinked innocently, she held her chin with both hands and said firmly: "If my uncle wants to investigate, then go ahead and investigate. Since it is possible that people from the four major clans are involved, there may be some connections between them, and they will always have private contacts. If we find out a little bit, we may be able to root out some people." Besides, my uncle is the head of the clan. If he knows there is a traitor, he will be uneasy if he doesn't rush. It is better to let him investigate thoroughly and support him.
"You too, share information with each other, maybe you'll gain something?"
There was a flash of surprise in their eyes. Miaomiao was smart and hit the nail on the head. They were used to each tribe managing its own affairs, and except for necessary cooperation, they seldom discussed internal tribe affairs.
Kidnapping children on a large scale and forcing them to change, this kind of business is not something that can be done by one clan alone. There must be cooperation to make it seamless. This is no longer an internal matter between clans.
Hua Suzheng patted Xia Miao on the head and said, "Then let's do as Miao Miao said. I'll go check the medicine first to see who has the ability to make such a strong medicine. Once I find out who he sold it to, I'll come back and tell you."
Xia Miao said worriedly, "Okay, uncle, please be careful and bring more people with you to prevent the dog from jumping off the wall."
Hua Suzheng hugged Xia Miao and whispered softly in her ear: "Miao Miao, don't worry. I may be busy recently. You should eat well and don't be picky about food. You should sleep well and don't stay up late. I won't come here recently. If you miss me, just call me." Then he looked at them and said: "Take good care of Miao Miao."
He patted Miaomiao on the back, let her go, and turned and left.
