Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 1018 - 1006: Danger!

"Don’t worry, everything’s arranged. They’ll act immediately when the time is right, we just need to go back and wait for news." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

With these words, Mother Jin pulled Jin Yufei towards a car parked by the roadside.

Soon, the mother and daughter got into the car and left.

Meanwhile, at the inn.

Xu Moqian ran to Qiao Jing’s room to find her, only to discover she wasn’t there.

He went downstairs and looked around but still couldn’t find her, so he immediately took out his phone to call her.

As soon as the call connected, Xu Moqian quickly asked, "Where did you go? I’ve searched the inn thoroughly and couldn’t see you anywhere."

Qiao Jing was walking slowly down the street, holding her phone to her ear.

Hearing the words from the other end, she replied casually, "I’m outside, just strolling around."

Xu Moqian blurted out, "Where exactly are you now? I’ll come find you."

"No need, I just want to be alone for a while."

After speaking, Qiao Jing hung up the phone and put it away.

Seeing the call ended, Xu Moqian furrowed his eyebrows, feeling somewhat upset.

Lu Zijin and Lu Zijiao were right beside him, having witnessed the whole scene.

Lu Zijiao couldn’t help but mock, "Xu Moqian, you’re too clingy, like a clingy plaster! Whoever gets stuck with you won’t be able to peel you off!"

Xu Moqian displeasedly glared at him, retorting, "Are you talking about your brother? I never noticed your brother, who’s always been so respectable, would also orbit around women! Truly a master of concealment!"

By nature, Lu Zijin never verbally sparred with others.

Hearing Xu Moqian tease him like this, he had no intention of rebutting.

But Lu Zijiao was much less refined; he extended his arm and directly locked Xu Moqian’s nape, coldly snorting, "Xu, don’t bully my brother just because he’s honest and mess with him!"

"I’m not his brother for nothing; if you want to bully him, ask if I agree first!"

Xu Moqian sneered and forcefully shoved Lu Zijiao away, "What’s wrong with you? You started messing with me first! This is called returning the favor, not bullying, get it?"

With that, he didn’t bother with Lu Zijiao and walked outside.

Seeing this, Lu Zijiao immediately pulled his brother to follow.

Pulled out of the inn, Lu Zijin asked, puzzled, "Why are we following Xu Moqian?"

"Brother, you don’t understand. What if that kid Xu Moqian plans to sneak off to find Third Miss Qiao, and you miss a good chance?"

Lu Zijiao explained his thoughts while scheming secretly.

Xu Moqian was quite slippery; it was best not to let him be alone with Third Miss Qiao, lest his brother end up wasting effort again!

Lu Zijin recognized his lack of shrewdness in this regard, so he was quite open to taking his brother’s advice.

Thus, the brothers followed Xu Moqian closely.

Initially, Xu Moqian intended to find someone, but he didn’t know the person’s location and the Lu brothers’ tailing dampened his mood suddenly.

Passing a bar, he paused and then went in.

Lu Zijin seldom drank, so he halted at the bar’s entrance.

"Brother, come on, we’re at the door already, let’s go in and check! Xu Moqian went in, maybe Third Miss Qiao is inside!"

Saying this, Lu Zijiao directly pulled his brother into the bar.

Once inside, they surveyed the room and eventually spotted Xu Moqian in a booth in the corner.

Xu Moqian had already started drinking; seeing the Lu brothers approach, he twitched his mouth, "Honestly, are you two ever done? I came to the bar for a drink, and you follow?"

"Whatever! Who said we’re following you? If you can come here for a drink, why can’t we? You don’t own this bar!"

With those words, Lu Zijiao pulled his brother to sit down, casually poured a glass of wine, and started drinking too.

Lu Zijin realized that Xu Moqian actually didn’t know where the person was.

However, since he was already seated, it wasn’t proper to leave immediately.

Seeing Lu Zijin just sitting idly, not drinking, Xu Moqian got a playful urge and deliberately provoked him.

"Lu Zijin, you’re not only dull and uninteresting, but you can’t even hold your liquor, no wonder Sister Jing doesn’t like you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zijiao downed the wine in his glass and casually retorted, "What’s it to you? Whether she likes my brother or not has nothing to do with you, with my brother either, she’s already Zhan Qipei’s! Stop bringing her into the conversation!"

"Alright, let’s not talk about Sister Jing then; how about Third Miss Qiao? Last time I had dinner with her, she really admired my drinking skills! We had such a great time eating, drinking, and chatting!"

Xu Moqian boasted as if recounting a true event, arrogantly raising his eyebrows at Lu Zijin.

Lu Zijin frowned slightly, thoughtfully staring at the wine on the table.

Lu Zijiao snorted dismissively, rolling his eyes at Xu Moqian, "Cut the crap! Just boasting about your little drinking capacity, aren’t you afraid people will laugh their heads off?"

"What’s wrong with my drinking capacity? It’s better than your brother’s!"

Xu Moqian poured another drink for himself while retorting.

Lu Zijiao rolled his eyes, "My brother is a doctor; he handles surgical tools, unlike idle people like you! If you have guts, try competing with me!"

Xu Moqian raised his brows, carefree, "Fine, let’s compete! Today I’ll show you my drinking prowess!"

One word led to another, and suddenly they were in a drinking game.

Lu Zijin couldn’t get a word in at all; seeing them drink glass after glass, recalling Xu Moqian’s earlier words, he felt a bit disheartened and poured himself some wine, drinking on his own.

Meanwhile, the three were drinking.

On the other side, Qiao Jing walked alone down the streets of Zhao City.

She wandered aimlessly, watching the scenery slowly retreat along the street, trying to recall past events. Yet the more she forced herself to remember, the less she could recall.

Unconsciously, she entered a relatively quiet alley.

Unexpectedly, just as she reached the middle of the alley, several thug-like men appeared, blocking her way.

Their leader approached Qiao Jing, trying to grab her, "Missy, are you alone? Let us brothers keep you company, so you don’t feel too lonely!"

Qiao Jing sidestepped, avoiding the hand stretching out to catch her.

She wished to avoid trouble, considering just leaving.

But turning around, she saw more people surrounding her, trapping her in the alley.

In total, there were about a dozen of them.

Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, her expression turning cold in an instant.

It seemed like there was no choice but to fight!

"Missy, stop resisting, just be a good girl and keep us company, or else you’ll suffer!"
