Old Mo, eating fish in a courtyard house, reigning supreme in Hong Kong.

Chapter 84: Minister, right? Calling you brother is giving you face.

Old Mo is really conflicted.

Logically, he should be happy that he saved Old Xu's grandchildren.

However, he and Gu Shan had just killed people, and he hadn't put the bodies into his spatial storage. He wondered if he would run into trouble if he met these people.

Will these people arrest them for killing someone? Even if they aren't arrested, will they be taken in for questioning and detained for two or three days?

These days, Lao Mo really doesn't want to waste a single day.

He really had the urge to put the child down and run away.

But then again, while Lao Mo might be able to escape, can Gu Shan escape?

These are all soldiers! Even Lao Mo couldn't guarantee he could escape from their clutches.

"Boss, why aren't you leaving?"

Gu Shan asked, puzzled.

Old Mo gave a wry smile and said, "We can't leave now. Gu Shan, don't resist."

Sure enough, a sound came from within thirty meters.

Soon, countless flashlight beams shone on the two adults and two children.

"Don't move, hands up!"

"Put that girl down."

One by one, the soldiers raised their guns, pointed them at the two men, and shouted at them.

"Xiaofeng and Xiaoling, don't be afraid. They were probably sent by your grandfather or father."

As he spoke, Lao Mo placed the little girl on the ground and raised his hand high.

Gu Shan also raised his hand high, but he was still holding an axe in his hand, and the axe was still stained with blood.

Once the soldiers saw that the two children were not in danger, they immediately rushed over and pinned them down.

"Be gentle, be gentle. We rescued these two children. You can ask them if you don't believe us. We're not bad people."

Old Mo immediately began to explain loudly.

The little boy chimed in, "Don't arrest them, they saved us."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the soldiers loosened their grip slightly. However, they still held them firmly in place.

Just then, a man dressed as an officer stepped out from among the soldiers.

This man looked to be about forty years old, with a square face and an imposing appearance.

"dad……"

"dad……"

As soon as the two children saw this person, they ran up to him happily.

"Oh dear, Xiaofeng, Xiaoling, are you alright?"

Upon seeing the two children, Xu Changchun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, bent down, and hugged them in his arms.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaoling, you scared your dad to death!"

Xu Changchun held them in his arms, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Come on, let Dad see if you're alright?"

Xu Changchun released the two children and used a flashlight to check them up and down.

"Dad, we're okay. Dad, those two uncles saved us."

Xu Feng pointed at Lao Mo and Gu Shan and said.

"Oh?"

Xu Changchun finally stood up and looked at Lao Mo and the other man.

Old Mo said speechlessly, "Brother Xu, we saved your son and daughter, aren't you going to make them release us?"

These two guys are still being held down on the ground!

Xu Changchun was in high spirits and decisively said, "Let them go!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers released their grip.

The two then got up from the ground.

My newly bought clothes are dirty again.

Xu Changchun laughed and said, "What did you call me just now? Brother Xu? Do you know who I am?"

Old Mo laughed too: "To be honest, I call you brother because I'm giving you face. If your father were here, I'd have to call you nephew."

Xu Changchun's smile vanished instantly: "Kid, what do you mean?"

Xu Changchun was very unhappy that this guy dared to take advantage of him.

Old Mo laughed and said, "I'm really not joking with you. Your father, Xu Shihua, and I are friends. Tell me, isn't it a favor that I call you 'brother'?"

"Hey……"

Xu Changchun chuckled. He looked Lao Mo up and down.

"How come I didn't know my dad had a friend like you?"

Old Mo said, "There are a lot of things you don't know. Phone number 1... right? Call him and ask your dad if he acknowledges Old Mo as a friend, and that's it."

But we have a deal: if he agrees, you'll have to call me uncle from now on. Hehe…”

Xu Changchun's expression finally changed. The fact that Lao Mo could recite that familiar phone number meant that it was definitely his father's friend.

Because, normally, a man's father wouldn't give him a phone call; if he did, it would be for work, never for home.

Xu Changchun's mind raced: "Alright, you saved my son and daughter, it's not a loss for me to acknowledge you as a brother. Let's go back first and talk about it later."

Xu Changchun pulled Lao Mo away.

The children have been rescued; the aftermath will now be handled by these soldiers.

Xu Ling walked up and grabbed Lao Mo's trouser leg: "Uncle, hug me."

The five-year-old girl couldn't walk on the mountain path, but instead of asking her father to carry her, she came to Old Mo.

Perhaps it was because Old Mo liked little girls that she felt a sense of closeness.

Or perhaps it was when Lao Mo saved her at her most dangerous moment that she felt safest in Lao Mo's arms.

Or perhaps it's because her father is rarely home that she feels insecure.

Anyway, she only wants to be hugged by Lao Mo, not by her father.

Old Mo was delighted and bent down to hug her, rubbing his face against her rosy cheeks. Although she was a little dirty, Old Mo didn't mind.

"Oh my, little girl, Uncle didn't save you for nothing! My darling."

Perhaps because he had lost his daughter, Lao Mo genuinely liked this little girl.

The little girl babbled in his arms for a while, then fell into a deep sleep.

There was nothing she could do; she hadn't dared to sleep for the two days she'd been held captive by human traffickers.

Xu Changchun smiled, took the hand of the eight-year-old boy, and walked down the mountain together, followed by Gu Shan and several soldiers.

"Your name is Lao Mo, right? Young man, it seems you have quite a connection with the Xu family! Did you come specifically to rescue my children, or was it just a coincidence?"

Old Mo felt a little uneasy and whispered in his ear, "Brother, tell me first, when we were rescuing people, we killed those two human traffickers. We should be okay, right?"

Xu Changchun laughed and said, "What could possibly happen? Don't worry! Even if you just kill them, or even chop them up and feed them to the dogs, it's fine."

"Hehe, brother, I'm relieved to hear that."

Old Mo then told him how he found his daughter and ended up here, which conveniently led him to the place where Xu Feng and Xu Ling were rescued.

Of course, he wouldn't reveal Gu Shan's past identity, lest he offend him.

From now on, that's all in the past. From now on, Gu Shan is Lao Mo's brother. He won't mention the past again.

"Ugh."

After listening to Lao Mo's story, Xu Changchun could only pat him on the shoulder helplessly.

Although he was a minister, he was powerless to help Old Mo find his daughter.
