Chapter 248: You Can Call Me Aunty

Liu Jun nodded knowingly and said, “Ah, I see! So, we might have to wait for Lili to bring back some zombie nuclei to wake Viney up. And, when do you think Deputy Chief Yuan will come back? He’s been away for quite a few days.”
Lin Qiao glanced at Xie Dong, then said, “Yuan Tianxing went to Sea City Base. He was going to meet Wu Chengyue, but that man isn’t in the base. As the man with cooperative intentions isn’t there, he’ll look for another potential partner. Xie Dong, do you think he’ll pick Yang Chao or Zou Shihui?”
While speaking, she took out the clipboard and handed it to Xie Dong.
Xie Dong took over the clipboard, then picked up the pen and wrote, ‘Yang Chao has no interest in cooperating with people from the outside. He’s all about strengthening the base. As for the diplomatic work, he’ll leave them to his two Deputy Chiefs.’
Lin Qiao nodded and said, “Which means, even if Wu Chengyue is back in the base, he won’t lend too many people to Yuan Tianxing. So, I guess Yuan Tianxing will try to hire some people in Sea City Base with food. However, we don’t know if those people are willing to work for him?”
Liu Jun carried Tong Tong and sat on the bedside, then looked at Lin Qiao and said, “Are you saying that Deputy Chief Yuan will need to spend a long while there?”
Lin Qiao nodded; due to the above reasons, they needed to wait, for both Qiu Lili and Yuan Tianxing.
Two hours later, about nine o’clock in the evening, Lin Feng, Cheng Wangxue, and Lin Xiaolu—who had woken up—came to Lin Qiao’s room and asked to see her.
Lin Qiao had cleaned the room in front of Liu Jun’s and settled down temporarily. Her room was next to Xie Dong’s.
Hearing the knock on the door, she walked to the door and opened it, then saw Lin Feng and his family.
“Eh? Xiaolu has woken up! Come in…” Lin Qiao first observed Lin Xiaolu who was raising her head to look at her, then stood aside and invited the guests in.
Lin Feng was wearing his symbolic serious look again. He nodded at Lin Qiao, then walked into the room.
Cheng Wangxue held Lin Xiaolu’s hand and guided her into the room. Then, she looked at her while pointing at Lin Qiao and said, “Here, Xiaolu, thank this sister! When you were having a fever and were in a coma, this sister saved you. You need to be grateful, do you know that?”
Lin Xiaolu obediently nodded, then looked at Lin Qiao adorably and said, “Thank you, sister…”
“Eh, don’t call me sister…Call me aunt. I’m so old, so it’s a little strange for you to call me sister…” Lin Qiao was a little speechless on hearing Cheng Wangxue, so she hurriedly interrupted Lin Xiaolu.
Lin Xiaolu didn’t know that Lin Qiao was her aunty yet, but she could call her aunt. If she called her sister, it would be wrong. If Lin Qiao let Xiaolu call her sister, Lin Feng as her brother would be like her uncle, and her mother would be like her grandma…That was unacceptable!
Cheng Wangxue said with surprise, “How so? You look young.”
Lin Qiao guided Cheng Wangxue and the little girl to the couch and made them sit down, then waved her hands toward Cheng Wangxue and said, “No, no, she has to call me aunt, or aunty.”
As Lin Qiao insisted, Cheng Wangxue had no other choice but to smilingly say to her daughter, “Alright, call aunt…”
Before she finished, Lin Feng, who stood aside, abruptly joined the conversation, “Call her Aunty…Aunty sounds better.”
Lin Qiao and Cheng Wangxue looked at Lin Feng, each with a strange look. Lin Qiao felt that Aunty sounded more appropriate, but she surely wouldn’t tell that to Lin Feng. However, the reason given by him was strange as well.
Why?
Cheng Wangxue was also staring at Lin Feng with a weird expression. As the atmosphere suddenly turned a little awkward, Lin Qiao immediately changed the topic, “Ahyaya, you can call me anything. Come on, Xiaolu, you can decide what to call me.”
Lin Xiaolu was going to call her Aunt, but before she said a word, she received a threatening glance from her father. Therefore, she corrected herself and called Lin Qiao, “Then, I’ll call you Aunty…”
Lin Qiao smilingly nodded, then asked her, “What’s your power? Can you use it?”
Lin Xiaolu shook her head with puzzles on her face, “I don’t know yet.”
“It won’t be so soon. You may have to wait for two or three days,” said Lin Feng expressionlessly.
Lin Qiao didn’t know much about the awakening of superpowers in human beings. Lu Tianyu had no clear memories about that either, as she only cared about her appearance.
“Yeah, people have to wait for a couple of days after waking up, before they can use their powers,” said Cheng Wangxue, “So now, we don’t know what power Xiaolu has. But, we really need to thank you for helping her trigger her power.”
“You’re very welcome…” Lin Qiao carelessly shook her head and responded smilingly. However, before she finished talking, the smile on her face froze. She suddenly turned to look outside the window, and her dark eyes glowed with a mysterious light.
Lin Feng and Cheng Wangxue were puzzled because of the sudden change of her expression. Then, they both looked outside the window. However, it was all dark out there, and they detected nothing unusual.
“What’s wrong?” Cheng Wangxue couldn’t help but ask curiously. Lin Qiao stood up and moved aside as she replied, “Don’t move, I’ll go and check!”
She flashed to the wall next to the window, then gazed outside with one eye. About a mile away, on a tall building that Lin Feng and his wife couldn’t see, a spot of light was sparkling from time to time, looking like the glistening of a mirror.
“You go back to your room and keep an eye on the others!” Lin Qiao said to Lin Feng and Cheng Wangxue abruptly in a serious tone. After that, she disappeared from where she was.
Lin Feng and Cheng Wangue were left in confusion, glancing at each other.
Lin Qiao turned herself invisible, then darted out through the window. She quickly climbed onto the roof on all fours, then stood on the guardrail as she raised her head to sniff at the air.
As she had thought, she had grasped the scents of a group of human being. The scent of one among those people was very familiar to her, as he was the next on her killing list.
After confirming the identities of those people, Lin Qiao leaned her body and leaped off the roof. After she fell for four or five floors, she suddenly reached out a hand and accurately grasped a guardrail, then flipped in the air and jumped into a balcony.
Afterward, she darted to the right side of the balcony from the left side, then hopped into the other balcony. After that, she jumped into the room at the front and leaped out of the balcony of that room. Next, she jumped onto the balcony below and arrived at a room on the fourth floor, on the other side of the building.
She entered the room from the balcony, which was empty. She then quickly walked out, to the door of Liu Jun’s room.
After knocking the door, she opened it and walked into Liu Jun’s room.
Liu Jun was lulling Tong Tong to sleep. As Lin Qiao came in and closed the door from inside, she asked with a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
