"Explosives."

Su Yan shuddered: "What do you need explosives for?"

Huo Zhenxuan glared at her fiercely: "Just do what I say! Stop asking questions!"

Su Yan’s heart convulsed violently, a strong premonition overwhelming her.

No, not a premonition, she was certain.

Huo Zhenxuan planned to use the explosives for revenge before leaving Yunling.

She was terrified: "You want... you want to use explosives against your elder brother? You can’t do that, he always has bodyguards with him..."

Seeing she had guessed, Huo Zhenxuan couldn’t be bothered to deny it, sneering: "Don’t worry about it, I’ve got everything arranged, just help me get the explosives!"

Su Yan instinctively wanted to refuse, but the words died on her lips.

A thought struck her.

If Huo Zhenyang is dead, the control of the company will belong to her again...

Moreover, she could use this opportunity to reclaim the surveillance footage from Huo Zhenxuan!

Isn’t this a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone?

She squinted her eyes, steadying her tone: "I can help you smuggle out of the country and get explosives, but you have to give me the surveillance footage."

Huo Zhenxuan thought for a moment, then made up his mind: "No problem, arrange everything for me, and I’ll give you the surveillance footage."

Su Yan was pleased, a slight smile appearing on her lips: "Deal! I will arrange the things you need and then inform you. You can pick them up from the black market tonight. After that, you just give the surveillance footage to the other party, and they will hand over the items to you."

The Huo Mansion was unusually quiet tonight after nightfall.

For some reason, Jiayi was feeling restless all night, her mind wandering even while watching cartoons with Little Baozi.

"Mommy. Grandpa hasn’t arranged a matchmaking meal for daddy tonight." Little Baozi noticed Jiayi’s distraction and glanced over.

Jiayi’s cheeks flushed: "I’m not worried about that."

"Haven’t you noticed that you’re becoming more and more inseparable from daddy? Daddy is just a bit late tonight, do you need to be like this?"

Jiayi playfully tapped Little Baozi’s forehead: "Nonsense!"

Yet, she still couldn’t help glancing at the time, indeed it was getting late.

He had just recently taken over the company’s operations, so he had lots of work and would come back very late every day.

For several days when he returned, it was nearly dawn, and at the earliest, she would fall asleep before his return.

Maybe because she was used to him holding her as they slept recently, she was actually a bit uncomfortable without him.

Little Baozi touched his innocent forehead, not giving up, his voice milky: "Jiayi Chu, you’re acting like someone who got caught dating by a teacher, your face is as red as a monkey’s butt but you still won’t admit it."

Jiayi pulled out her trump card: "If you keep talking nonsense, I won’t let you watch TV anymore. Go back to your room and sleep right now."

Ever since they moved back to Disheng, Huo Zhenyang had strictly controlled Little Baozi’s entertainment time, limiting his daily TV watching time.

These days, because Huo Zhenyang was so busy, Little Baozi could watch a bit more TV with Jiayi’s cover.

Zaizai yawned and stopped talking.

However, Jiayi thought of something and with a suspicion, she lifted Little Baozi up: "What were you just saying about being caught by a teacher for dating... You sounded very convincing, are you starting early romance in kindergarten? I’m warning you, Huo Zhuoting, you’re not even five yet, don’t be so precocious, did you hear?"

This Little Baozi, although he always fusses about wanting a younger brother and dislikes having a sister, has been well-liked by the opposite sex from a young age.

From 80-year-olds to 3-year-olds, all genders would fall under the charm of his baby voice and split pants.

When he first lived in Fuyah Residential Area, this little guy could make a group of neighborhood aunties spin around him.

Later, after moving to Green Island Garden, every time Xia Tingxuan took the kids out, wherever Little Baozi went, he could make a bunch of neighborhood aunties stop and couldn’t resist pinching him twice.

Later, after starting at Qixing Kindergarten, every time Jiayi came to pick up Zaizai, she would see a group of little girls surrounding Little Baozi.

Even during their parents’ wedding, this little guy managed to make a girl he had just met, the granddaughter of Old Commander Gan, bloom with happiness and follow him around.

This kid, he’s going to be trouble when he grows up!

No, I need to educate him properly now, he can’t be affectionate every time he sees a girl.

Zaizai, while watching TV, pouted: "What’s wrong with being under five? The kids in the junior class of our kindergarten already have girlfriends! At this age, I’m considered a leftover man in kindergarten!"

Four-year-old leftover man...

Leftover man, my foot! Does that mean she is already the elder of Mount Heaven?

Jiayi carried Little Meatball onto her lap, lowered her voice deliberately menacingly: "What do you mean? You didn’t really get a girlfriend, did you?"

Zaizai’s clear gaze twinkled like lake water, looking very innocent and straightforwardly said: "I told you last time, it’s ’Little Sweetheart’."

"Little Sweetheart? Who’s that?" Jiayi was confused.

"Gan Xinxin. Her nickname is ’Little Sweetheart’."

Jiayi was taken aback, then immediately scowled: "Little Sweetheart, and then what? Little stomach, little intestines? You only met her once, after so long, how come you’re getting closer and even calling her by her nickname?"

She thought Zaizai had not been in touch with Commander Gan’s granddaughter again.

Zaizai helplessly said: "Chu Jiayi, there’s something in this world called a video call. I and Little Sweetheart, well, not much, just video calls seven times a week. By the way, Xinxin’s birthday is next month, she wants to come to Yunling to play, and her grandfather agreed too, she’ll stay at our house then, I want to share a room with her..."

Jiayi pinched his chubby cheek: "Not only are you engaging in early romance, but you’re also playing long-distance romance?"

She thought the two little buns had long lost contact, but it turns out they had already exchanged QQ, WeChat, and phone numbers in private!

Just as she was about to sternly educate Little Baozi, Auntie Li’s voice came from the entrance: "Young master is back."

Little Meatball took the opportunity to jump down, knowing he couldn’t watch TV once daddy came back, and made a face: "I’m going up to sleep!"

Jiayi grabbed him, she hasn’t finished her lecture yet, he can’t escape that easily!

"What’s wrong? Was Zaizai being naughty again?" Huo Zhenyang took off his coat and came over, looking puzzled at the little woman with a flushed face, bent down, scooped up Little Meatball, and frowned: "Did you make mommy angry?"

"I didn’t." Under Huo Zhenyang’s gaze, Zaizai repeated the conversation he had just had with mommy.

Huo Zhenyang’s eyebrows relaxed, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Seeing he seemed indifferent, Jiayi angrily said: "You’re still laughing? At this rate, he might bring you a grandson before he’s eighteen."

"Mommy, don’t pretend I don’t know, grandma mentioned that you were also pregnant with me when you were around eighteen or nineteen."

Jiayi was speechless, blocked by Little Baozi.

"Hmm, Little Baozi is right about that." Huo Zhenyang deliberately said.

Jiayi’s cheeks turned a shade pinker, she bit her lip and fiercely glared at the man beside her: "That’s your daddy’s fault, it has nothing to do with mommy."
