Became a vicious male mother

Chapter 13 Missing me? Hmm?

Li Hetai was extremely familiar with this place and led Gu Xinglan back.

The further I walked, the lower the perceived temperature became, until my eyes fell upon that familiar iron gate...

The door leading to the garden...

He had just been here, and for a moment Gu Xinglan was ashamed of her own stupidity.

Seeing that Li Hetai used his feet to tiptoe along the iron gate, he quickly climbed to the middle of the gate and reached out with both hands to get the key outside.

The key was hanging on the outside wall.

With a creak, the iron gate opened, and the moonlight, now unobstructed, streamed in, casting a bright and gentle glow.

Gu Xinglan, still limping, slowly followed Li Hetai out.

The cobblestone path gleamed with a faint white light, blending the shadows of the two people together.

This place is like a fairyland, but the garden is in the Li family's house, in the Changgu villa, so it is not a fairyland, but a tempting poisonous mushroom with a beautiful shell, but doing things that harm people.

After surveying the entire scene, Li Hetai stepped into the flowerbed, instantly crushing the delicate blossoms that had just been covered in lush petals.

A voice called out "Hey!" from behind.

The dew on the flower was shaken off several times and landed on the back of his neck. Li Hetai shrank his neck and looked back coldly.

The person behind him fell into the flower bushes, seemingly unaware of why he had fallen. His eyebrows were tightly furrowed, one hand bracing against the stone path, the other supporting his leg, enveloped by his shadow. Beyond the shadow, the moonlight shone brightly, generously bathing the person in its light.

Gu Xinglan's thoughts were already in a mess, but this fall actually cleared her head.

"What are you looking at? Don't you know you should come and help me up?" Gu Xinglan didn't even look at the child in front of her.

He didn't expect the man to help him up, and after making his usual threats, he began to carefully examine his calves.

The cut on my calf from the ceramic bowl shards from two days ago hasn't fully healed yet, and now my leg is numb, and all those tiny aches and pains are starting to surface.

It doesn't hurt much, but it's hard to ignore.

Li Hetai stood there for a few seconds, his fingers twitching slightly. He moved his feet step by step, treading on the flowers, and reached out his hand to the person on the ground.

Her hands had various small cuts, and her arms had burns. Her palms were slightly open in front of Gu Xinglan's eyes.

Looking at his palm, which was only half the size of his hand, Gu Xinglan felt a sense of doubt.

Should we help this person up?

The moment the thought crossed my mind, a cold sweat broke out on my back.

Gu Xinglan slapped away Li Hetai's outstretched hand.

The sound was crisp, and Li Hetai was unharmed, but Gu Xinglan's hand was covered in red marks.

"It's so dirty."

This was the second time he had said those words, but the system gave no feedback. Gu Xinglan could clearly feel the low pressure around Li Hetai.

He slightly raised his eyes, and soon met a pair of extremely dark pupils.

He showed no emotion whatsoever; you looked at him as if he were a dead object.

"Why are you looking at me like that? If you keep looking at me, I'll..." Before he could finish speaking, Li Hetai had already turned around.

Gu Xinglan pursed her lips and got up from the ground.

They were heading towards the flowerbeds just now, but now they're heading towards the stone path.

Gu Xinglan followed behind the child, her face no longer showing the disdain she had just displayed, but instead filled with worry and contemplation.

He shouldn't get too involved with Li Hetai, except to complete his mission.

Li Hetai is a swamp; those who follow him, whether good or bad, will all be swallowed up.

System: [This is the first time I've heard someone use such a metaphor to describe the task target.] An electronic voice suddenly appeared.

"Where did you just go?"

System: [This system will retrieve the task participant.]

"Take it back?" Gu Xinglan frowned slightly.

System: [The new quest taker, being ignorant and boasting that his fate was in his own hands, killed the quest target. The target was a key figure and couldn't possibly be dead, so the resurrected target threw him into the sea to feed the fish. Fortunately, this system arrived in time.]

"Li Hetai?"

System: [To be precise, it's another world. The plot development of each world is unique from the moment you land. This system would like to remind you that it's best to complete the mission without offending the mission target.]

Gu Xinglan: ...

He has just offended someone.

System: [It's alright if you've offended him. The target is still young. He's not going to smother you with a pillow in the middle of the night, is he?]

It wouldn't suffocate him, but it would definitely make him unhappy, just like now...

Gu Xinglan followed Li Hetai along the path to the vicinity of the small fountain, where the gurgling sound of flowing water was mixed with a few hushed conversations.

The sudden arrival of the two, one large and one small, broke the tense atmosphere that should have been tense.

The fragrance of flowers and the smell of tobacco blend together, stimulating one's sense of smell.

Not far from them was a table, and the person at the head of the table was none other than Li Taihe. Li Taihe had changed his white shirt into a black shirt, and his glasses were gone, replaced by several dark bloodstains.

This blood... it definitely isn't Li Taihe's own.

Gu Xinglan noticed them, and the system's words instantly echoed in her mind: [When arresting people in the torture chamber, Li Taihe will come over.]

They came here from the torture chamber.

Several people made eye contact.

A man holding a sharp weapon leaned down and whispered a few words in the ear of a portly man.

"Madam Li, it's been a long time." The speaker was someone he had met before; he was tall and overweight, with a fierce look between his brows. He held a cigar between his index and middle fingers and was smoking it with gusto right in front of Gu Xinglan.

Gu Xinglan got goosebumps all over.

Meanwhile, Li Taihe sat on the table with his legs crossed, one hand on his knee and the other on the table. He was looking at them sideways, his face backlit, so they couldn't see his expression, but it certainly wasn't a good one.

"Madam, come over here."

The air remained still for a long time before Li Taihe finally spoke.

Upon receiving the message, he rushed over and arrived next to Li Taihe, where everything on the table was clearly visible.

There were several documents written in German on the table, which he couldn't understand, but he recognized the Li family crest and the words "Gun _Type" on it.

What type of firearms? Are they purchasing guns?

In his previous life, Li Hetai also handled a gun.

The two of them had been up all night, and before the sun had even risen the next day, the man forcefully pulled him up with his left hand, while holding a new generation American Sig Sauer M17/18 standard-issue pistol in his right hand.

He was startled awake.

He remembered the name of the gun clearly... This person later gave him the same one.

This person gave him this thing, not afraid at all that he would kill him, and even liked to act as a teacher, personally disassembling it in bed to show him and taking him to the shooting range to teach him how to shoot.

His marksmanship was excellent, and he was very composed. Just by standing there sideways, his imposing aura was overwhelming... He wasn't carrying any equipment, just an ordinary white shirt, his sleeves rolled up, and ambiguous hand scratch marks on his skin. He hit the target with a single shot.

Gu Xinglan's memories are out of control.

One idea after another popped into his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more purposeful his gaze became, focusing entirely on the slender Li Hetai in the distance.

So focused was Gu Xinglan that when an extra hand appeared on her waist, she trembled and her breathing became heavy.

Li Taihe sat on the rattan chair, his eyes slightly narrowed. He was startled by Gu Xinglan's reaction and momentarily let go of her hand before firmly placing it back on her waist.

What are you doing bringing the child here?

Gu Xinglan's mind was in complete turmoil, and she couldn't answer.

The person across the table tapped the ashtray with a cigarette in his hand: "Mrs. Li, you must miss you. We've been following you all this way. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Why don't you give in sooner so we can leave and not be third wheels?" His words were humorous, but his tone was unyielding, his face full of menace.

"Miss me?" Li Taihe chuckled.

For a moment, the Li Taihe in front of me overlapped with the Li Hetai from my previous life... It was chilling.
