Chapter 1376: Maybe Hes a Person Who Bends with the Wind

The two kids came to the balcony, which had a chair set against the wall. Wu Yueling carried Teng and sat down as she asked the boy, Where is Mama now?

Teng pointed a finger ahead and said, Shes miles away from the gate of the base.

Miles How far away is that? Wu Yueling asked curiously. She was barely seven years old. She didnt yet have a clear understanding of a mile.

Teng thought for a moment and then explained, Em itll take a couple of minutes driving and about an hour walking.

Wu Yueling nodded without fully understanding his words. So, will Mama be back in a couple of minutes? she asked another question.

Teng shook his head and said, Mm, I guess shell first go to her office instead. Maybe she wont come back here until its dark.

While speaking, he pointed at the sky, which had started getting dark already. The sun had just sunk and the sky was still bright.

Oh. Learning that she might not see Lin Qiao until it was dark, Wu Yueling pouted and murmured with disappointment.

At that moment, Wu Chengyue came out of the kitchen while wearing an apron, asking Teng while wiping his hands with a towel, How do you know that your Mama is back? Why didnt I sense her coming?

Teng gave him a glance and then said, Because she gave birth to me, thats why I know. She didnt give birth to you, so you dont know!

Wu Chengyue first looked at him speechlessly and then smiled awkwardly, Oh, I see.

No joke! He definitely did not want to be Lin Qiaos son. He intended to be her man!

Wu Yueling looked at Wu Chengyue with confusion and then at Teng. She didnt understand their conversation at all. Seeing the look on her face, Teng couldnt help but reach out a hand and pinch her cheek gently, Oh, Ling Ling will understand when she gets older.

Wu Chengyue looked outside the base and said with a slight frown, Isnt it too soon for her to come back? It has only been about two weeks, but shes come out already. Did she manage to figure out whats happening down underground within such a short time?

Teng folded his arms before his chest as he thought for a moment and then said, Well, Mama came back earlier than I expected. So, there are two possibilities. One, she has got the answer she was looking for, or two, there was an accident that caused her to come out ahead of schedule.

Wu Chengyue gave the boy a smiling glance and said, Yes, youre right. Those are probably the only two possibilities. Teng is very smart.

On hearing the sudden compliment, Teng immediately raised his chin and said with a proud face, Of course! Im not just some ordinary boy!

Alright, whatever is the reason, well know when she gets home. Come on, wash your hands, lets have dinner. Wu Chengyue lifted the proud little boy and said. He was a little worried at that moment.

Will this kid grow into a girl? he thought.

Thankfully, Teng was only able to read his mothers mind but not his fathers. If he knew what his father was thinking at the moment, he would probably cough some blood and then bite his father with anger.

Lin Qiao came back to learn that Lin Feng and the others had caught some moles.

Good job! Who are those people? She sat down behind her desk and asked with curiosity. It was a normal thing that moles existed in a base, so she wasnt surprised. Catching moles was a part of Lin Fengs job, but still, she wanted to give him the compliment for doing his job with such high efficiency.

Some among the last few batches to join our base. Most of them are from Hidden Cloud City Base and Sky Fire Base. Um but this Lu Meiqing is from Hades Base. Duan Juan was standing before he desk and reading the report. She paused briefly when she read Lu Meiqings file.

Lin Qiao shrugged and said, Whats so strange about that? Anyone can choose the side thats the best for themselves. Maybe she finds our place to not be good enough and wants to go somewhere better. Thats normal.

That was not a strange thing at all. Many would make that kind of choice.

While reading the last part of the report, Duan Juan said with a weird look on her face, Oh, there was a mysterious person who secretly delivered a message to Deputy Chief Lin. We dont know who that person is yet.

On hearing that, Lin Qiao looked at her with surprise and said, Are you saying that one of those people sold the others out? Did they know that they were betrayed by one of their own?

That was interesting! It was like a double betrayal.

Duan Juan shook her head and said, I guess they dont know that someone has sold them out. Deputy Chief Lin and his men are looking for that person now. I guess theyre trying to find out if hes one of those that got caught this time.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment and said, I guess that person is a rather capable one. Hes been such a successful double-sided spy.

He sent messages to Lin Feng, but the latter didnt know who he was. It was possible that Lin Feng didnt try to find out who he was because he intended to show the man some respect,.

What was the purpose of that person?

Lin Qiao spent a few seconds thinking and then asked another question, Was that persons messages the only source that allowed us to find out what those people wanted?

Duan Juan handed the report to Lin Qiao after finishing reading and responded, Im more curious about why the person chose to do that. He leaked the message before those people took action. But, he wasnt the one who exposed the existence of those moles. Instead, it was Xiaolu. Maybe the man chose to be on our side to survive.

If that were the truth, the person should not be allowed to stay in the base. Maybe hed change his mind again someday and choose to stand with other people.

Lin Qiao took over the report and started reading. In the meanwhile, she nodded and said, Perhaps. Maybe he discovered that he and his people were exposed already. Its understandable that he changed his side under that circumstance.

People like that would bend with the wind.

While the two of them were talking, Lin Wenwen received the news that Lin Qiao brought back, and also heard that Yuan Tianxing had already woken up.

Really? Hes woken up? Great! She finally stopped worrying and grinned with relief.
