My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 598: What if Xiaolei Just Wanted to Give a Gift for the First Meeting? 2
Fengjue said, "It’s not just incredible. In a matter of mere seconds, we’ve traveled from the heartland of Atlantis to the vast public waters between Atlantis and the Mu Continent! This is terrifying, Your Excellency. If Prince Bo truly leads an army through here into Atlantis, it would be like divine soldiers appearing from nowhere. No one could anticipate it, and they would certainly be caught off guard. Fortunately, Prince Bo hasn’t taken action yet. We must have our people take exclusive control of this Spatial Tunnel!"
Mo Yinhe thought the same. This was no longer just a Spatial Tunnel, but a strategic military location that must be guarded by his men on both ends! Otherwise, one day they could be invaded without even knowing where the divine soldiers had sprung from!
Mo Yinhe gave Fengjue a pointed look. "Remember to handle this later."
Fengjue said, "Your Excellency, I’ll call the naval forces right now and have them dispatch a heavy guard!"
This matter needed to be addressed sooner rather than later.
"Mom, right here! Look, there are houses over there!"
Bo Fengyin pointed with her small hand, and everyone looked in that direction. Good heavens, someone had already claimed it! How could they allow such a strategic military location to be taken by someone else? Wasn’t that like handing over the keys to their own front door?
Mo Yinhe stood before the large screen in the control room, staring at the houses not far ahead.
It wasn’t just a few houses but hundreds. The area resembled a small village, shielded by a large, hemispherical protective barrier. The houses within were neatly arranged and well-designed. People strolled leisurely through the village, looking very comfortable. This was definitely not an ordinary village.
Mo Yinhe said, "Find a secluded place to land so we aren’t discovered."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
The pilot activated the plane’s cloaking system and found a relatively hidden spot to land.
They were preparing to take a small submarine to explore the nearby waters. However, their plane had barely landed when another submarine began to approach them. "Your Excellency, we’ve been spotted!" Fengjue exclaimed.
Ye Shen said, "Brother, it seems this isn’t an ordinary village. It must be a small military base. The exit of the Spatial Tunnel is likely controlled by them, under 24/7 surveillance. We have to take this village, or we won’t be able to rest easy. Wait, could this military base belong to Prince Bo?"
This was international waters, not belonging to any of the four undersea nations, so anyone could establish a military base here.
But since Bo Leng knew of this place, he was naturally the prime suspect.
Little Bo Fengyin said, "That’s not it! When I first discovered the Spatial Tunnel, this place was already here. There’s a bad guy here whom I don’t like. Uncle said he’d take over this place sooner or later."
Ye Shen was surprised. "A place even Prince Bo hasn’t taken over? That’s impressive, isn’t it?"
In an instant, Mo Yinhe had figured it out. It’s not necessarily that Bo Leng can’t take it; perhaps he doesn’t want to alert the enemy, fearing that I would discover this place.
Bo Fengyin, that little mischief-maker, added, "Dad, you guessed right! That big villain said if Uncle dared to make a move, he’d surrender and tell you about this place. Then you certainly wouldn’t stand idly by. This is called... um, let me think... Oh, right! Uncle said it’s called ’relying on a powerful backer to stay safe’!"
Mo Yinhe sneered. "Setting up their own little kingdom right under my nose and using me, Mo Yinhe, as their backer? Fine, just fine! I’ve been thoroughly used without even realizing it. Let’s go. I want to see exactly who these people are!"
Si Mingjing said, "Let’s split into two groups. You go and meet whoever it is; I’ll look for Xiaolei."
Mo Yinhe said, "If Xiaolei is out of contact, there’s only one possibility—he’s in the hands of these people."
"What if he’s not?"
Ye Shen rubbed the back of his head. "Sister-in-law, Xiaolei must be in their hands. Otherwise, how could he be out of contact? It’s not like Xiaolei discovered someone was holed up here and decided to sneakily take them out to present to you, Brother, as a welcoming gift, right?"
Si Mingjing suddenly smiled. Of course, she didn’t dare to entertain such an optimistic thought. But, lifting her phoenix-like eyes, she asked, "But what if?"
Ye Shen exclaimed, "Huh? This is a place even Bo Leng couldn’t conquer. Xiaolei is just a five-year-old kid. How could he possibly have such foresight and ability?"
Si Mingjing didn’t say a word, just looked at Ye Shen and smiled quietly. Though what Ye Shen said seemed incredible, Xiaolei was her son. And her son, naturally, was the most formidable. Her Fengyin even dared to brave volcanoes!
Bo Fengyin said, "Mom, I’ll go with you. Little brother Xiaolei loves to punish the wicked and promote good deeds the most. I’ve played with little brother Xiaolei before; his mind is incredibly sharp!"
It was just that, at the time, Bo Fengyin didn’t know Xiaolei was his own little brother.
"Mom, I want to go with you too," Ye Jingzhe, the Little Bingshan, said. He knew Xi Lei too. Like Bo Fengyin, he knew of Xi Lei but didn’t realize Xi Lei was his brother. He merely saw Xi Lei as a rival, as they were both contenders in the heir selection contest.
Only Gu Shurong, who had previously suffered at Xi Lei’s hands, shook his head and huffed, "I’m not going to look for Xi Lei. Xiaobai, you and I will stay with Dad."
Ye Nianbai didn’t mind. In his adorable, cool little voice, he said, "Okay, I want to go with Dad and see what’s going on."
Si Mingjing looked at Mo Yinhe, her gaze thoughtful. "That’s settled then. I’ll take Fengyin and Jingzhe to look for Xiaolei, and you take Shurong and Xiaobai to meet the people here. Contact me via WeChat if you have any news."
Mo Yinhe suddenly felt that, as his son, Xiaolei couldn’t be too bad; the genes were there, after all. He found himself agreeing with Si Mingjing’s idea to split into two groups and said, "Be careful."
"You too."
At that moment, the pilot said, "Your Excellency, a call is coming through, requesting to speak."
"Put them through. Turn off the video."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
The pilot connected the call and turned off the video. This way, they could see the person on the other end of the video, but that person couldn’t see them and could only hear their voices.
On the screen, a young man appeared. He was impeccably dressed and sat in a chair with the swagger of a boss, casually shaking one crossed leg. "Friend," he said, "since you’ve come to my territory, why not drop by for a cup of tea?"
Mo Yinhe stood with his hands behind his back, not speaking.
Fengjue stood beside Mo Yinhe and asked, "And who might you be? You dare claim this place as your territory?"
The young man rested his hands on the armrests of his chair and leaned back slightly. "I am the Division Commander of the 36th Division under the Prince of Atlantis, Mo Yinhe," he stated. "I was personally appointed by the Prince and stationed here. Anyone passing through the Spatial Tunnel must register with me."
Fengjue’s temple throbbed. Good heavens! His Excellency had never dispatched any troops. This person was clearly using His Excellency’s name as a powerful backing! Does this person even realize he’s speaking to His Excellency himself?
