Chapter 744: He Definitely Came

“How did that bastard with the surname Li find us?” Yeh Hannian had to support his waist as he walked, his voice hoarse with strain.

Yeh Xiao replied, “He has been tracking me for a few days, he must have revealed his whereabouts downstairs just now.”

Yeh Hannian said sarcastically, “Heh, he found us quite quickly.

He’s chased me around the world several times.

He doesn’t dare to come into Mingzhou, but once out of Mingzhou, he has me in his grip.”

“Hang in there, Yeh Xing will finish up soon over there.”

Nan Jiaojiao pressed Tuantuan’s little head to her chest and carried her into the elevator.

The phone was silent, Bo Yanching hadn’t called, she wanted to call him, at least to say something, but he had left so decisively, what would she say if she got through to him?

Lost in thought, she drove to an apartment’s garage following the navigator.

The car keys were hastily given to her by Yeh Xiao.

On the 19th floor, one apartment per level, the place was simply decorated, clearly just a temporary shelter.

The air was filled with a stifling sense of dust, Nan Jiaojiao opened the window, and although the breeze hit her face, her heart felt increasingly clogged.

How did things suddenly become so complicated?

Everything was too coincidental.

“Mommy.”

Tuantuan jumped onto the armrest of the sofa, holding a bottle of yogurt she found somewhere, the straw already inserted.

Nan Jiaojiao quickly took it from her, “What are you drinking?

How long has this been here?”

She checked the expiration date.

Tuantuan covered her mouth and giggled, “It’s alright, it’s always fresh where daddy stays, he must have been here before.”

Indeed, the date was the latest.

Tuantuan’s unruffled tone took Nan Jiaojiao by surprise; she handed back the yogurt to Tuantuan and took a step back to sit down by the coffee table.

“Does your daddy do this often?”

“Yep,” Tuantuan slurped a mouthful and nodded seriously, “Daddy told me he owns so much that many people are jealous.

Only home is safe.

He told me not to worry if he suddenly disappears for a few days, he will come back.”

All the businesses Yeh Hannian was involved in were shady.

Mingzhou is the most chaotic among the continents.

It’s sandwiched between Country Y and Country Z, not small by any means, and not much different from its neighbor Country Y in size, but it is a lawless land where drug and arms trades are out in the open, a gathering place for demons and monsters.

Yeh Hannian could sit securely on his blood-stained throne as the uncrowned king of Mingzhou without being harmless.

He was safe in Mingzhou, but once out of Mingzhou, many forces wanted him dead.

Even his own uncle wanted to pull him down.

“And yet he brought you out, that’s reckless!”

Knowing the dangers, yet insisting on bringing a child along, she’s so young to be living in fear.

It seemed Tuantuan knew what she was thinking; the little one came over, her chubby hand touching Nan Jiaojiao’s lower eyelid.

“It was Tuantuan who wanted to come this time.

I saw mommy playing the guzheng on TV, and I said I wanted to learn the guzheng, so I asked daddy to bring me here.

He couldn’t refuse me, but these days in Rongcheng City, Tuantuan has been very happy.

Although he didn’t bring me to see mommy, he took me to many scenic spots every day.”

Tuantuan’s fingers shrank slightly, slowly moving to Nan Jiaojiao’s cheek.

With her eyes downcast, her expression bore a sorrow that didn’t match her age, “Daddy said, it’s like walking through the places mommy has been.

If you hadn’t recognized us, once daddy was done with his business, we were going to go back.

It’s all my fault—”

“What do you mean?”
