Chapter 121 A Mess

When Little Hibiscus woke up again, she found a thin hemp rope around her neck. Thinking that she had been naughty and had been tied up by Mu Long with the rope again, she raised her little head and meowed a few times at the air.

"Brother, come quick! The kitten we caught on the street this afternoon has woken up!" Wu Wei heard his little brother calling him, so he quickly dropped his pencil and ran towards Xiao Furong.

Little Hibiscus only remembered that she wasn't in the Yang residence when she saw two unfamiliar faces appear before her. So she had no choice but to obediently lie still in the cage.

Huh! Brother, I just clearly saw this adorable little kitten looking at me with its big, round eyes. Why is it suddenly lying motionless in its cage now?

Wu Wei walked over to the small cage and squatted down, carefully examining the kitten inside. Finding nothing amiss, he picked up a small stick that was lying to the side. He gently poked Xiao Furong's belly with the stick, but Xiao Furong remained motionless in the cage.

Brother, look, is it dead?! Waaaaah! I really love this little kitten, brother, I don't want it to die!

Wu Wei turned to look at the little boy standing next to him and rolled his eyes at him. Just then, Little Hibiscus suddenly opened her big, round eyes, intending to sneak out of the cage while Wu Wei wasn't looking. However, Wu Wei quickly pressed her back into the cage.

Meow! Meow! Little Hibiscus meowed at Wu Wei a few times, looking aggrieved, while her two cute little paws kneaded in the air.

Brother! Look at this little kitten, isn't it almost sentient? It's pretending to be dead to fool us!

Upon hearing this, Wu Wei turned his gaze back to Xiao Furong, who was locked in the cage. Xiao Furong decided to stop pretending to be dead and began frantically shaking the bell tied to her thigh. This was because Mu Long had patiently taught Xiao Furong how to save herself in the Yang residence during his spare time.

After Xiao Furong went missing last time, Mu Long ordered people to post Xiao Furong's portrait all over the streets and alleys, and he also made a special note that Xiao Furong had a small bell hanging on her hind leg.

Little one, if you get lost again and are found by some kind people, you must remember to shake the little bell tied to your thigh as hard as you can!

Because now many people know that Master Long's kitten has a small bell, about the size of a grain of rice, tied to its thigh. After saying this, Mu Long picked up Little Hibiscus's hind leg with the small bell and shook it.

Brother, why is it suddenly shaking the bell hanging on its thigh so frantically?

Suddenly a voice rang in Wu Wei's head: "Have you all heard about that strange thing?"

What strange thing happened? Can you tell me about it? We don't have anything else to do right now anyway!

Yesterday at dinner, I heard from the elders in my family that the owner of Shenglong Street had tied a bell the size of a grain of rice to the thigh of his pet cat.

Yes, yes! I've heard about that too. Our beloved Lord Long said that if anyone finds his beloved cat and returns it to him, he will give that person a large sum of money.

Little one, can you tell me if your name is Little Hibiscus?

After hearing the question, Xiao Furong nodded to Wu Wei and then tried to stand up to bow to him. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stand up.

Inside the Longsheng Grand Hotel, Mu Long was pacing back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back.

It's already so late. Mother took Little Hibiscus out, why hasn't she come back yet? As I said this, I clapped my hands anxiously.

Could something have happened? The old lady isn't the type to be so playful! Master Long, why don't we go out and look for the old lady and Little Hibiscus right now?

Oh, right! I haven't seen my eldest brother for a very long time!

If what you say is true, what should I do with my mother and Xiao Furong? Wasn't my mother having a good time at the Longsheng Hotel this afternoon?

Why did they go out to play without me noticing them for a moment? And why didn't they tell me before they went out?

Haha! What kind of talk is this, kid? Does your mother need to tell you, her son, before she goes out?

Uncle, you misunderstood me! I didn't mean that. What I meant was that if I knew my mother was out on the street, I would send more men in black to protect her safety.

Don't you usually have men in black lurking around to protect your mother?

Upon hearing the question posed by Steward Yi, Mu Long quickly shook his head at Steward Yi.

My mother loves her freedom and dislikes anyone secretly following her. Therefore, my father, sons, and I have never sent anyone in black to secretly protect my mother.

Wow! I think you three, father and sons, are really quite bold! The world is in a turbulent time right now, and you can easily be targeted by some ill-intentioned people if you're not careful.

Uncle, since you know that the world is already in turmoil, why did you leave Xia Rong alone in her little house?

Aren't you afraid that one day she might be targeted by some ill-intentioned people and kidnapped to a place you'll never find?

Hehe! It seems you really don't know my precious daughter well enough! Do you know? When Xia Rong was very young, I hired several highly skilled martial arts masters to teach her martial arts.

Upon hearing Xia Di's words, Mu Long nodded, thinking to himself, "No wonder I couldn't beat Xia Rong when we first met."

Mu Long, if you truly love my precious daughter, please don't raise her to be a caged bird that needs someone to protect her. Instead, you should continuously teach her martial arts and the skills to manage the household.

Uncle, you can rest assured about that! After Xia Rong and I get married, I will definitely let her manage some of the businesses on Longsheng Street. I will never show any chauvinism in front of her.

After hearing Mu Long's promise, Emperor Xia nodded in satisfaction. He knew how much Mu Long doted on Xia Rong, so he wasn't worried that Mu Long would do anything to harm her.

Her only worry was that after they got married, Mu Long would use the excuse of being a good wife and mother to keep her precious daughter at home. She really didn't want to see that happen.
