1058 The Kid Is On the Run

Wu Chengyue glanced at the door and blinked his eyes. The kid would probably hide for a few days. Wu Chengyue wondered if the boy could escape his mother's eyes.

Lu Tianyi brought Teng to where he lived before. Kong Qingming, Lin Wenwen, and Long Qingying were standing by his side.

Kong Qingming managed to keep the apartment where Lu Tianyi lived after he was declared dead by the other Sea City Base people. He was an official of the base. Normally speaking, his apartment would be reassigned after he died. After all, the apartment belonged to the base and not him.

\"So, what are you doing here?\" Lu Tianyi looked at the familiar door. He hadn't come back here for quite a while. Then, he abruptly turned to Lin Wenwen and asked her a question.

Lin Wenwen turned and glanced at Long Qingying, then at Kong Qingming. \"I need to keep Teng safe. How can I let you take him away alone?\" she said, \"Also, isn't this place a little too close to his parents?\"

\"Your mother can easily smell you!\" She turned to Teng and said gleefully.

Teng wore a serious look on his little face. He didn't respond to Lin Wenwen, but held Lu Tianyi's neck tightly, worried that his aunty might take him away from Lu Tianyi's hands and tickle him to death. He had enough of his weird aunty's awful hobby!

Kong Qingming took a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door, pushing it open and showing the room to the others.

\"How long has it been since you cleaned up here? The room is dusty,\" Lu Tianyi went in and looked around before complaining to Kong Qingming.

\"Is it my fault? Is this my apartment? I kept it for you, but instead of thanking me, you are complaining to me!\" Kong Qingming snorted coldly and gave him a sideways glance with the pair of slender eyes.

\"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Thank you, Mr. Kong!\" Lu Tianyi immediately wore a smiling face and said to him.

Seeing that fake smile on his face, Kong Qingming rolled his eyes and said, \"We were in the Lake Tai area in the past few months. We came back yesterday and went straight to Chief's. How on earth do you expect me to make time to clean your apartment?\"

Lin Wenwen held Long Qingying's hand and brought her into the room. Long Qingying had a frosty look on her face. A strong vibe was radiating from her body, affecting everyone else in the room.

Last night, she planned to head back to her own base together with Lin Wenwen and the others. However, Kong Qingming blocked her way before she even exited Sea City Base. He didn't say anything but aggressively dragged her away from the crowd, leaving the other All Beings Base people smiling a meaningful smile and watching them leave.

Lin Wenwen followed Long Qingying behind Long Qingying as the latter was taken away by Kong Qingming.

So, in the morning before dawn, Lu Tianyi sneakily brought Teng out of Wu Chengyue's place and showed up in Kong Qingming's place. He woke Kong Qingming up from his warm bed, and Long Qingying, who was trapped in that bed for a whole night.

As the three of them left Kong Qingming's place together and went upstairs, they saw Lin Wenwen sitting on the stairs. Kong Qingming and Lu Tianyi lived in the same building. Their apartments were located on different floors.

Lu Tianyi carried Teng and stood in the middle of the living room and watched Kong Qingming open the balcony door and the window to let the fresh air come in.

As the door was closed, Teng started talking, \"We've gotten the drug that Huaxia Base developed. The drug can remove our scents. So, I don't think my Mom will smell me. She might sense Uncle Lu's vibe though.\"

\"Go and clean your room. I'll hold Teng,\" Lin Wenwen quickly moved toward Lu Tianyi and attempted to take Teng over.

\"No, I want Aunty Long to hold me!\" Teng turned his little face and reached his arms toward Long Qingying, who was giving out a very cold vibe. Seeing the little boy, she slightly relaxed her tightened face and walked over, holding Teng in her arms before walking toward the balcony.

The apartment was being cleaned, and dust drifted everywhere. As his hands were freed, Lu Tianyi picked up a piece of rag and started to wipe his furniture.

…

Lin Qiao came out of her space to find that the scents of Teng and Lu Tianyi were gone. She immediately figured out what happened, so she said through clenched teeth, \"The kid ran fast!\"

After saying that, she went downstairs into her room to get changed, leaving Lin Hao going down to the living room alone, smiling.

He knew that Lin Qiao was talking about Teng. The scents of that boy and Lu Tianyi had disappeared from the building. It seemed that they ran away last night.

\"Hao, you're up! Come here and have some breakfast.\" Cheng Wangxue called out on seeing him.

\"Oh!\" Lin Hao paused briefly, then responded to her and walked toward the dining room.

\"I think our Chief is going to leave in the afternoon. Wu, aren't you gonna try to make her stay?\" Lin Hao sat down and picked up the chopsticks as he said to Wu Chengyue.

\"No. She has work to do. I'm going to be busy too,\" Wu Chengyue put some leftovers from last night into his mouth, then picked up his bowl and took a sip of the porridge. After that, he answered the question.

\"There're a lot of work to do indeed! I heard that Li Zhengye is playing some tricks again. He just can't let the world be peaceful. And Huaxia Base, they should be up to something too. They've been strangely quiet recently. How come these two bases are now like each other's past statuses?\" Lin Hao put some food into his bowl while speaking. He was a doctor who rarely took a part in the administrative works of the base. But, he still knew everything that he should know.

\"I guess Huaxia people are up to something big. They've been keeping their plan perfectly secret,\" Wu Chengyue gave a small smile as he put some food in Wu Yueling's small bowl, then said to her, \"You have to eat some meat too.\"

Some children liked meat and hated vegetables. Unlike them, Wu Yueling only liked vegetables.

By the time Lin Qiao came downstairs, the others were still having breakfast. She said morning to Cheng Wangxue and the kids, then sat down on the couch amd picked up the stone that Leng Xuantong gave her. She prepared to wait until the others finished breakfast and then head back to All Being Base together with them.

\"You don't seem angry. Aren't you gonna find that naughty boy and make him pay for what he has done?\" Before leaving, Lin Hao looked at Lin Qiao with surprise and asked.

\"I don't have time for that,\" Lin Qiao answered his question expressionlessly. If the boy was right in front of her, she would, of course, twist his ears and give him a good lesson. However, the boy wasn't there, and she didn't want to bother to look for him.

The kid was with Lu Tianyi, meaning that he was with Kong Qingming too. Kong Qingming would certainly make Long Qingying stay with him. As Long Qingying was there, her sister, Lin Wenwen, would be there too. She had also sent a bunch of bodyguards after them in secret. So, the boy would be safe.

And so, Lin Qiao got into the car and headed straight back to All Beings Base, leaving her son, who had thrown her into a trap last night, in Sea City Base.
