I Transmigrate as a Single Mother of the Three Antagonists

Chapter 48: Money

Disregarding the outcome, Jin Yang’s thoughts were in a mess.

Qiu Tong leaned against the ropes of the ring, proudly curling the ends of her hair around her fingertips. She lifted her head proudly and heroically, the familiar expression causing Jin Yang so much pain that he couldn’t breathe.

He placed a hand over his heart and knelt on one knee. But he then suddenly grabbed Qiu Ying’s wrist!

“What’s the matter?”

Qiu Tong lowered her eyes in bewilderment. When she met his blank and helpless gaze, her heart trembled.

Jin Yang panted heavily and asked, “Have we… really never met before?”

It seemed that he would ask the same question every time they met.

Qiu Tong simply thought that he looked like the children, but he did not exist in her memory at all. She shook her head firmly. “No.”

Jin Yang lowered his eyes and looked away. He propped himself up on the ground, his expression gradually returning to its usual coldness.

He used a silk handkerchief to wipe the dust on his fingertips. He looked up and said in the tone of an employer, “We want to eliminate terrorists, who use cruel methods and have unpredictable whereabouts. Their numbers are unknown, but the operation is extremely dangerous.”

Qiu Tong’s reply was extremely serious. “I know, the Dark Web has the mission information.”

Jin Yang cleared his throat at her unexpected frankness. With a conflicted expression, he reminded her, “Are you not afraid of death?”

Qiu Tong suddenly realized what he was thinking and smiled faintly. “They can’t hurt me.”

What kind of confidence was this! What arrogance!

Jin Yang thought of all the strange things about her and asked, “Do you know a lot about terrorists? Perhaps, you’ve been to places like research labs?”

Qiu Tong shook her head. She had never come into contact with terrorists before, but post-apocalyptic zombies were much harder to deal with than terrorists!

Her eyes were clear as she asked, “Aren’t they just ordinary people with two hands and two legs?”

“Don’t tell me their stamina is a hundred times stronger than an ordinary person?”

“…”

Shao An listened to her nonsense in shock and stared at Jin Yang with an unfathomable expression…

Jin Yang was amused by her frank yet ignorant attitude. He walked over to the desk with deliberation, opened the drawer and took out a checkbook. He scribbled down a string of numbers and handed it to Qiu Tong.

“I admit that you have super strong combat abilities, but you know nothing about our operation against the enemy. As such, you have no chance of winning!”

“I’ll give you $300,000. Take it and do what you want with it.”

Qiu Tong kept the check without hesitation and patted his shoulder. “Of course I have to do something after receiving the money. Don’t worry, I won’t be a burden!”

“One more person means one more helping hand!”

Jin Yang couldn’t help but laugh at her words. He shook his head and wanted to persuade her to give up, but Qiu Tong insisted that she couldn’t accept money for nothing.

“If you refuse, I will just hide outside the villa and follow you to destroy the terrorist organization!”

“Since I am already involved now, why don’t we go through the battle tactics for the operation together?”

Qiu Tong’s stubborn attitude made Jin Yang frown. In the end, he reluctantly agreed to let her stay and join the operation.

But Jin Yang reminded her, “Safety above all. Don’t just charge forward…”

Qiu Tong agreed perfunctorily, but in her heart, she was planning to kill a few more terrorists. After the matter was settled, she would ask Jin Yang for more money!

Her eyes darted around and a wicked smile appeared on her lips. She had accurately hit Jin Yang’s weak spot, causing him to lose focus.

Qiu Tong returned home and packed her things, preparing to move to Jin Yang’s villa for a week.

She called the children over and rubbed their heads. She said, “Mommy has some things to do and needs to leave for a few days. You guys stay at home obediently. You’re not allowed to quarrel with your kindergarten friends. You’re not allowed to run away!”

She turned to look at Ke Le and said calmly, “Take good care of them!”

Ke Le slapped his hand to his chest to reassure her.

Little Yu raised her head and hugged Qiu Tong’s waist, asking her with a clingy voice, “Mommy, where are you going? Can you bring us along?”

The mission was dangerous. Qiu Tong didn’t want the children to worry about her. With Qiu Xingqiao’s personality, he might follow her secretly.

As she thought about it, she casually fabricated a lie and coaxed, “Mommy is going to borrow some money from a relative. When I return, I will buy a doll for Little Yu and lots of meat for you guys to eat!”

Qiu Xingyuan stood in a corner and looked at her with a dark expression. He bit his lips and said with difficulty, “Can you… not leave?”

“A while ago, you asked me to study the locust pesticide. There’s already some progress.”

“If there really is a locust plague, we can earn a lot of money…”

Qiu Xingyuan clenched his fists and lowered his head, so that no one could see the emotions in his eyes.

Sensing his reluctance, Qiu Xingqiao looked at his elder brother and said crisply, “Mommy will be back soon!”
