The little guy was so absorbed in his own world, pacing back and forth, that he did not notice Butler Fu entering the room.
Butler Fu looked at him in surprise. “Baby Chu, you’re up early today? I don’t even have to wake you up.”
Startled, Baby Chu turned around. When he saw that it was Butler Fu, he ran and threw himself onto the man.
“Butler Fu! Bad news! Bad news!”
Butler Fu was startled by the little fellow’s cries. He hugged the child and immediately asked, “What’s wrong?! What happened?!”
“Sob sob sob!” Baby Chu said tearfully, “Bad news! Mommy seems to have been targeted by a big baddie!”
“…”
What!?
Big baddie?
When Butler Fu heard this, he was utterly confused and had no idea what the boy meant!
Baby Chu said angrily, “Mommy went out last evening and came home only late at night! The moment she came home, she called a man. Their conversation seemed intimate! The point is… when Mommy used to work, she had many suitors! I’m infuriated!”
Butler Fu fell speechless.
Chu He went out in the middle of the night?
And came home really late?
Could it be… that she was out on a mission?
Early in the morning today, he heard that a few gang leaders in the city had been arrested.
Could it be that she went on a mission last night?!
“Butler Fu, what should we do!?” Baby Chu was still immersed in his own despair. He tugged at the corner of the man’s shirt and cried, “What if Mommy gets wooed away by another man?!”
“…That’s not going to happen, Baby Chu, don’t cry!”
“No! I have to look for Daddy!” The boy pushed Butler Fu away and ran upstairs.
When Butler Fu saw this, he immediately went after the boy in fear. “No, Baby Chu, Master is still sleeping…”
He went after Baby Chu all the way upstairs and saw the child dashing towards Gu Jinglian’s bedroom. Then he pushed the door open and entered.
Butler Fu’s heart almost jumped out of his chest in fright!
Had this guy not experienced the Old Master’s terrifying morning temper?! Old Master went to bed late last night. If he were to be disturbed by this child early in the morning. He’d lose his temper for sure!
Butler Fu immediately rushed into the room, only to see Baby Chu climbing onto Gu Jinglian’s bed. Then on his hands and feet, the boy pounced on a certain sickly Demon King who was sleeping.
“Daddy! Daddy, wake up! Bad news!” Baby Chu cupped Gu Jinglian’s face and shouted into his ear. Then slapping the man’s face with his tiny hands, he forced the man to wake up. Gu Jinglian, who was sleeping soundly, was immediately jolted out of his dream by Baby Chu’s shrieking.
“Nooooo… my little ancestor!” Butler Fu, who was behind him, was so scared that his legs almost went limp. Just as he was about to step forward to stop Baby Chu, he saw that Gu Jinglian was frowning with his eyes closed. The boy grabbed Gu Jinglian’s collar and shook him forcefully.
“Daddy! Wake up! Bad news!”
“…”
Butler Fu hurriedly rushed to the bed and was about to carry Baby Chu away when the Demon King slowly sat up.
Butler Fu fell speechless.
That was it.
The Demon King said, “Who let you into my room?”
Gu Jinglian lowered his head. His slightly messy hair fell over his eyes. He wasn’t speaking loudly, but his voice was very low and deep. There was something in it that was unnerving.
As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Fu and Baby Chu felt as though a gust of spine-chilling wind had swept in from hell..
