Ying and the others looked at Skinny who got out of the car. They could not hide the surprise on their faces.
Chen Meng’er, on the other hand, did not show any surprise when she saw Skinny. It was as if she had expected it. However, those who were familiar with Chen Meng’er would notice that when she saw Skinny, her tense nerves finally relaxed. Her hand also let go of the small pink pistol that was already loaded.
“Uncle Skinny.” Chen Meng’er saw that it was Skinny and went up to him. “Didn’t you go to sleep in the middle of the night? Why are you driving behind our car?” Chen Meng’er asked with a smile.
“Little Miss.” Skinny looked at Chen Meng’er with gentle and soft eyes. Looking at such a Skinny, Ying and the others thought that their eyes were playing tricks on them. Was this still one of the great hall masters of the Green Gang who made people tremble in fear?
“I’ve already slept for a while. On the other hand, Little Miss, you’re still growing. You went out in the middle of the night without sleeping.” Skinny reached out and rubbed Chen Meng’er’s hair.
“Uncle Skinny, don’t pretend anymore. How can you not know what I’m going to do? If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t have driven out in the middle of the night.” Chen Meng’er was a little helpless, these uncles of hers liked to touch her hair whenever they were free. She was no longer a child, okay? However, her protest was useless in front of Zhuge Yu and the others. They were still going on as usual. “Did Grandpa ask you to come?” Chen Meng’er used her brain and knew what was going on.
“Little Miss is still smart. Sir was worried about you, so he asked me to drive the car and follow you.” Skinny and the others liked to see Chen Meng’er’s helpless and aggrieved expression every time they messed up her hair, this expression on Chen Meng’er’s face made them feel that she was still like a little girl.
In the end, it was Skinny and the others who felt sorry for Chen Meng’er. She had to bear such a heavy burden at such a young age.
“I knew Grandpa wouldn’t be so easy to talk to. Then, Uncle Skinny, we have an agreement. You can follow me without any objections, but when we arrive at the Hongbei family later, you can wait outside with Ying and the others. I can go in alone.” Chen Meng’er gave Skinny a precautionary shot in advance.
“How can this be? I…” How could Skinny let Chen Meng’er go in alone and take risks? Moreover, Chen Meng’er had never heard of the Hongbei family. Skinny knew that the four of them had once followed their boss, Elder Liu, and had fought with the current Hongbei family.
“Stop. Uncle Skinny, if you don’t agree, then don’t follow me. I think you don’t want to see my driving skills, right?” Chen Meng’er was a racing expert in her previous life. Even Skinny and the others praised Chen Meng’er after seeing her driving skills.
Chen Meng’er’s obvious threat made Skinny feel helpless. “Little Miss…” Skinny thought for a while and had to compromise. “Okay, okay. I got it. I’ll be obedient.”
Skinny knew clearly in his heart that his boss couldn’t do anything to his Little Miss, so he could only compromise. Then there was no need to mention him.
“It’s getting late, let’s go. I don’t want the sky to be bright when I reach the Hongbei family.” Chen Meng’er joked.
The Hongbei family’s old mansion was quite far from the city of Tokyo. From Chen Meng’er’s car, the more they drove, the more remote the surrounding environment became. It was as remote as the military base that Chen Meng’er had visited before, and the degree of secrecy wasn’t much different.
“Mistress, we’re here. This is the old mansion of the Hongbei family. “The people of the Hongbei family live here. Usually, the Hongbei family will come back to live here if the conditions allow. According to my previous investigation, Hongbei Yongye also returned to the old mansion today.” Ying pointed at the old buildings and said to Chen Meng’er.
Chen Meng’er looked in the direction of Ying’s finger. It was a typical ancient Japanese building complex. “I didn’t expect the Hongbei family’s old mansion to be like this.” Chen Meng’er thought that the Hongbei family’s old mansion would be similar to the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters with a modern building complex, high walls and the most advanced defense system. However, Chen Meng’er didn’t deny that such an old mansion would give people a sense of oppression and mystery.
“Ever since the Hongbei family was established, their old mansion had been built here. It was said that when the Hongbei family chose the location of their old mansion, the family head and elders had carefully selected it. This place not only had good feng shui, but it was also close to the mountains and rivers. Most importantly, this place is suitable for practicing ninjutsu.” Ying explained to Chen Meng’er.
Chen Meng’er looked around and nodded in agreement. “That’s true. This place is really suitable for practicing ninjutsu. It’s no wonder. After hundreds of years, the people of the Hongbei family still live in this isolated place. Ying, you seem to know the Hongbei family very well.”
“I investigated it once. Previously, my master asked me to investigate Hongbei family. Therefore, I know a lot.” Because Yuwen Jing had specifically instructed him, Ying told Chen Meng’er everything he knew.
“Yuwen, you’ve investigated the Hongbei family?” Chen Meng’er didn’t expect that the people around her seemed to have interacted with the Hongbei family. She was the only one who hadn’t even heard of the Hongbei family.
“Yes.” Ying nodded.
“Why are you investigating the Hongbei family for your master?” Chen Meng’er asked the question in her heart.
“I don’t know either. I’ve just received an order from my master to investigate the Hongbei family. As for what it is, I don’t know.” Ying was also curious. This question had always been in his heart, but, he was a subordinate. If his master didn’t say it, it wouldn’t be right for him to cross the line and ask.
Just as Ying finished speaking, the sound of knocking on the glass rang out. Chen Meng’er and Ying looked up and saw that it was Skinny. Ying rolled down the window.
“Little Miss, the Hongbei family has arrived. Are you sure you want to go in alone? This Hongbei family mansion isn’t easy to enter.” Skinny was still worried.
“It’s not easy to enter. I want to go in as well. There’s no place that can stop me.” Chen Meng’er raised her head slightly and said confidently. “Uncle Skinny, wait outside with Ying and the others. Don’t worry. If anything happens, I’ll send you a distress signal at the first moment.” Chen Meng’er waved the so-called signal flare that she had invented, she said.
