Qiu Tong saw Song Yan appear in the black market. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and put down the sniper rifle.
Yin Hai respectfully retreated to Song Yan’s left side. He stood straight and reported to him with a vexed expression, “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help you get that M78 sniper rifle. Please punish me, I hold full responsibility.”
Song Yan waved his hand, indicating for Yin Hai to be quiet and not say anything else. He stared at Qiu Tong with interest.
This woman actually had some understanding of firearms and was skilled at using them. Could this be the reason why she could attract Jin Yang?
Song Yan’s interest in Qiu Tong deepened. He mimicked Jin Yang’s unique cold tone and said, “I didn’t expect you to like sniper rifles too?”
“I appreciate all fine things.”
Qiu Tong sized up Yin Hai with a smile and said bluntly, “Your new bodyguard is not as smart as Shao An.”
“If he underestimates his opponent like this, he might easily fall for schemes. I advise you to add a few more guards so that you can ensure your safety.”
Qiu Tong’s kind reminder stunned Yin Hai for a moment. He hated it when others compared him to Shao An, so he instinctively retorted, “You have got it wrong.”
“Shao An is the Presi…” Before he could finish his sentence, Song Yan stopped Yin Hai with a look. He immediately shut up and stood behind with his head lowered.
Song Yan shrugged and explained half-heartedly, “Shao An has other tasks to do.”
Qiu Tong nodded slightly, not interested in pursuing their current situation.
She just wanted to end the small talk as soon as possible and buy a batch of firearms before going back to find Qiu Xingyuan and the rest to carry the grains back!
Qiu Tong looked up at the darkening sky, a hint of impatience on her face.
Song Yan shifted his gaze and stood in front of Qiu Tong. He deliberately put on a troubled expression as he stared at the sniper rifle in her hand. “I will definitely let you have it now that I know that you like it. But…”
“As you can see, public security has been very chaotic recently. I came to the black market to buy a gun for self-defense.”
“If I let you have this sniper rifle, I will be in a dangerous situation. Shao An is away carrying out other missions… and you’ve seen Yin Hai’s skills!”
“I’m afraid that if someone tries to attack me, Yin Hai wouldn’t be able to detect it immediately…”
Song Yan said this right in front of Yin Hai. But the latter did not dare to speak up or even show any anger. He could only endure it and continue to listen to Song Yan coaxing Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong frowned and narrowed her eyes warily. “So, you still want to snatch this M78 from me?”
Song Yan stuck one hand in his pocket and waved his hand in denial. “I just wanted to ask you if you could take me in for a night?”
He saw surprise in Qiu Tong’s eyes. He added, “It’s very dangerous for me to be outside.”
“I’ll give you this gun in exchange for protecting me for a night. What do you think? It should be a fair and cost-effective deal, right?”
Yin Hai did not expect Song Yan to make such an outrageous request. He looked at Qiu Tong in shock, quietly speculating about their relationship.
Qiu Tong pondered deeply.
It was true that she and Yin Hai had their eyes on this sniper rifle at the same time. She was quite well-acquainted with Song Yan, and taking him in for a night was actually not too difficult nor outrageous.
Qiu Tong pointed at Yin Hai and asked, “Is he going to stay with us too?”
Song Yan turned to look at him. He smiled and said teasingly, “I will be living in your house and will be under your rules. Of course, I’ll follow your arrangements. If you find it inconvenient, you can also let him stay outside to guard the house. It’s fine.”
Qiu Tong counted the rooms in the villa. There were still a few empty rooms. She took out some money and bought a few sniper rifles and two boxes of bullets. “Let’s go.”
Song Yan drove Qiu Tong to the straw shed in the alley. As soon as she got out of the car, Qiu Xingyu ran over and hugged her waist. She said coquettishly, “Mommy, why are you back so late? It’s already dark!”
Qiu Tong rubbed the top of her head and called Ke Le to move all the grains into Song Yan’s trunk.
Qiu Xingyuan pursed his thin lips and looked at Song Yan with hostility. The children also stood in a row as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They frowned and said, “Why is this uncle with Mommy?”
Qiu Tong looked at Song Yan and explained calmly, “This uncle will be staying at our house for tonight.”
“What?!”
Qiu Xingqiao cried out in alarm, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Qiu Xingyuan looked at Qiu Tong with disappointment.. Had this woman fallen into the river of love again and become a lovesick fool?
