Chapter 1080: Chapter 727: Mu Lin’s Fear (Second Update)

Then the time arrived the next day, and Mu Lin indeed took Jing Nuo and Jing Yue, but Gong Rui refused, saying she wanted to review her coursework at home; considering this, Mu Lin did not insist.

Compared to Nuonuo and Yueyue, Gong Rui really wasn’t the best fit to visit the elder. It wasn’t that she played favorites or anything else, but because Gong Rui was too sensible and mature, not as capricious as Nuonuo and the others. Although she had always told her that oftentimes, she really wished Gong Rui could be a bit more capricious.

All of it, with her, with Jing Chen, and the whole Jing and Gong families.

But... sometimes Mu Lin felt helpless, yet no matter what, as long as Gong Rui was happy and not under psychological pressure, that was good enough.

Even without blood ties, for the current Mu Lin, Gong Rui was her child, just her child alone.

However, just as Mu Lin had finished performing acupuncture on the elder, she received a call from Jing Chen; before her, the two children seemed to really like the elder, clinging to him on either side, listening to his stories while the elder laughed heartily several times.

Indeed, seeing the two children, the elder’s face had lit up with so many more smiles, which greatly comforted Mu Lin; she knew her two little ones at home had a real knack for entertaining people.

Mu Lin smiled and answered the phone, "Chen, what’s up?" him calling her at this time; Jing Chen was actually aware that Mu Lin would be helping the elder with acupuncture now.

Jing Chen’s voice was slightly deep, "Linlin, are you going on this operation?" He was consulting Mu Lin’s opinion.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, "You... are ready to move?" Surprisingly, it was quicker than she had expected, Mu Lin had thought it would at least be after tomorrow.

"Yes," Jing Chen’s voice was somewhat somber, "lest the night bring more dreams." Everything was already arranged. This time, he would make it impossible for him to escape!

Actually, deep down, Jing Chen truly hoped Mu Lin wouldn’t be involved in this operation due to its unpredictable dangers, but nevertheless, Jing Chen still respected her decision.

"I understand," said Mu Lin gravely, "When do we set off?"

Jing Chen: "Now." It was all prepared; of course, the sooner, the better.

Now! Mu Lin was surprised; her Grandpa was truly in a hurry.

However.

"Understood," Mu Lin nodded, "Give me forty minutes." Then she hung up the phone.

"Is it a mission?" Zhan Zhong, sitting beside Mu Lin, had overheard her conversation; the call had likely come from Jing Chen.

Mu Lin nodded, "It’s about the Sky Net organization, Ying Sun has issued a mission." This time, it was a full-team dispatch, "Only by taking them all down, could we truly consider this mission accomplished." As long as they existed, there could be a second, a third, or even an nth Jian Xiao at any time, any place.

This might well be Ying Sun’s largest mission in history; or, it might be said, not just Ying Sun’s.

"Remember to be careful," Zhan Zhong instructed, and Mu Lin nodded, standing up and walking towards the elder, "Grandpa, I’ve got a mission and must leave now. I’ll leave the two children in your care for now and will notify Grandpa to pick them up later."

However, upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, the elder said, "No need, you go on your mission. I’ll have Zhan Zhong send Nuonuo and Yueyue back later." Even if Mu Lin hadn’t mentioned it, the elder probably had an idea about what sort of mission Mu Lin was about to undertake.

In fact, Jing Chen had already reported to him about this matter before it got busy, which means, behind Jing Chen, was the support of the elder right before her eyes.

But at this moment, the elder truly enjoyed the company of the clever yet clear-logical Jing Nuo and the cute yet sensible Yueyue, and he really was reluctant to send them back now.

So, considering many of the important matters had already been arranged, other things could wait a little longer.

Even he, occasionally, needed a good rest! He planned to have lunch with the two little rascals later.

This was the capricious old master, and Zhan Zhong smiled lightly beside him; it was the first time he’d seen the old master push aside his most cared-for work for something else, truly shocking indeed.

However, for the sake of these two little ones, even he was willing.

Hearing the elder’s words, Mu Lin thought for a moment and then nodded. She then turned to the two kids and instructed, "Remember not to cause any trouble for Grandpa, okay?"
