Chapter 112: Appeasing Others
Chapter 112
Not being able to understand what Ke Muning was saying made Li Xiaoya feel very insecure.
This feeling intensified as they stepped out of the store—
Another foreigner approached Ke Muning and said something in a low voice with a serious expression.
The only good thing was that this person was speaking English.
"Saw", "over there"... Li Xiaoya could roughly catch these words.
Did they see Second Uncle?
Li Xiaoya clenched her fingers.
It wasn't hard to guess.
They only gave photos of Little Uncle, which meant Little Uncle was difficult to recognize.
Second Uncle's wheelchair was much easier to spot.
After listening to his subordinate's report, Ke Muning said something in a low voice.
Ke Muning liked to switch to Dutch when saying important things, as it was closer to the German language system.
Li Xiaoya couldn't understand at all.
The only person she could turn to for help was...
She tugged at Secretary Wang's clothes.
Secretary Wang "thoughtfully" lowered his head and said, "Want to know what he's saying?"
Li Xiaoya asked, "Can you tell me?"
"I can only tell you that he's ordering his men to kill someone, but not now."
Li Xiaoya gripped her fingertips harder, finally suppressing the cold feeling.
She asked, "Why not now?"
"You've asked a very crucial question. It's because this is a popular tourist island, and tourism is the pillar industry here. If they act in front of so many tourists, it would cause panic among them, leading to a decline in tourism. This would simultaneously create diplomatic disputes and relentless pursuit by the local government."
Li Xiaoya struggled to digest these unfamiliar words and phrases.
In other words... this was a path her uncles could exploit!
Secretary Wang crouched down, leaned in closer, and asked in a low voice with a smile, "Do you want to go back now?"
Li Xiaoya asked in return, "Can I continue to follow you?"
Secretary Wang said indifferently, "Sure, Sheng Yuxiao will find us soon anyway."
Sheng Yuxiao was coming too?
The little girl's small face immediately wrinkled up.
Secretary Wang was a bit surprised: "What? You're not happy that Sheng Yuxiao is coming?"
Li Xiaoya said softly, "It's very dangerous here."
"Oh, I see..." Secretary Wang showed a thoughtful expression.
Secretary Wang said enthusiastically, "How about I help you stop him? Just us playing here."
After saying this, he turned to Xu Ruying beside him and said, "You should leave too, leave tonight."
"How can that be? I..." Of course, I have to stay. Won't that little duck be scared to death?
Xu Ruying couldn't finish her sentence.
Secretary Wang stared at her and said in a gentle tone, "Young lady, you should listen to reasonable advice. Don't make trouble."
Xu Ruying knew her uncle's temperament well. This tone meant there was no room for negotiation.
But sending both her and Sheng Yuxiao away... did that mean he was going to side with Li Xiaoya?
Otherwise, Sheng Yuxiao would definitely fall out with him!
Thinking of this, Xu Ruying immediately felt relieved: "Alright, I'll go."
At this moment, Ke Muning finished speaking and turned around to see Xu Ruying leaving with the bodyguard. He couldn't help but ask, "Why did your niece leave?"
"She doesn't like you," Secretary Wang said bluntly.
Ke Muning wasn't angry at all upon hearing this. Instead, he curiously looked down at Li Xiaoya and said, "So does that mean this little one likes me a bit more? Can tolerate being around me?"
Secretary Wang shrugged, "You'll have to ask her."
Ke Muning raised his shoulders, "She can't understand what I'm saying."
"Then speak English to her."
Ke Muning tried.
"She still can't understand."
"She's only in third grade, how much vocabulary do you expect her to have?" Secretary Wang chuckled lightly, then openly reached out to Li Xiaoya and said, "I'll teach you how to download a translation app."
Secretary Wang helped her set it up right under Ke Muning's nose.
Ke Muning asked, "What are you doing?"
"This way she'll be able to understand what you're saying," Secretary Wang replied lazily.
Ke Muning waved his hand and said, "That's too troublesome, we can just not talk."
"But it looks like she has something she wants to say to you now."
Ke Muning looked towards Li Xiaoya.
Li Xiaoya was typing through the translation app, converting to English, then playing: "The game was fun."
"Hm? Are you talking about the flyboarding activity?" Ke Muning's tall figure bent down slightly, "You've got some taste. Not many of the little ones I've dealt with liked it."
Secretary Wang reminded him, "It's mainly that they don't like you."
People like Ke Muning had a certain aura that was hard for others to like.
It was the smell of blood.
Not to mention his typical Germanic appearance, tall and strong, with hard, angular facial features. There wasn't a hint of softness.
If Secretary Wang gave off a harmless impression at first glance,
Then Ke Muning would give people a terrifying, fierce, and formidable impression at first sight.
No human cub would like such an adult.
The fear of this type of adult was practically ingrained in the bones of young ones.
Ke Muning didn't even blink when Secretary Wang pointed out the reason.
Anyway, there was a rare one with some taste right in front of him...
He was about to say something.
At this moment, Li Xiaoya's phone spoke again in converted AI English.
"Are you going to kill someone?"
As soon as these words came out,
Even Secretary Wang was taken aback for a moment.
Ke Muning's face changed slightly, his first reaction was to question Secretary Wang: "Hey, my friend, what did you tell her?"
Li Xiaoya's phone sounded again: "You were just talking to someone, I understood a little bit."
Ke Muning narrowed his eyes: "Is that so?"
Li Xiaoya's small hands struggled to hold the phone as she continued to type, convert, and play: "I've never seen it before, can you take me to watch?"
Ke Muning was startled, then laughed and said to Secretary Wang, "Ha, her name is very fitting. Demon."
Secretary Wang lowered his eyes, filled with amusement.
Oh, first compliment the other person, then cater to their interests, directly lay out the cards, avoid subsequent suspicions, bring such a matter out into the open...
Was this taught by Sheng Yuxiao?
Now when Ke Muning looked at Li Xiaoya, he found her much more endearing and pleasing to the eye.
Although he had some trouble distinguishing faces, he still knew beauty from ugliness.
This kid was quite good-looking.
Ke Muning's eyes flickered as thoughts crossed his mind... He said, "Of course you can, let's go, I'll take you to see."
He wanted Secretary Wang to help him distinguish people and things, essentially to tie them together. Secretary Wang definitely knew more about Hua Country's rules and regulations than he did. If they really caused a diplomatic dispute, he had to drag him down too!
The group continued walking forward.
Li Xiaoya was small and walked slowly on the beach.
Ke Muning paused, then simply turned back and picked her up, letting her ride on his shoulders.
Wei Wenjun, who had been quietly observing the situation: ?
I haven't even given Little Duck a piggyback ride yet!
