Chapter 1735 How Dare He?

How dare he?

How could she dare to appear in front of her parents again with that face that she hated to the core?

How dare you still use the pretense of "seeing your daughter" to get closer to her? Have you forgotten how you drove her to her death in your past life?

She hadn't even had time to settle the debts from her past life, and he actually dared to barge into the Jinling base?!

Li Luo's hand gripping the communicator tightened suddenly, her knuckles turning white so much they almost embedded themselves in the device, and the anger in her chest seemed about to ignite—but the next second, she suddenly remembered that her parents didn't know about her rebirth, let alone the deep-seated hatred between her and Ji Hongmao.

We can't let them find out.

She quickly took two deep breaths, forcing herself to suppress the surging hatred. She loosened her grip slightly and rubbed her cheeks, afraid that the harshness in her voice would worry her parents.

After all, they were already keeping an eye on Ji Hongmao, and if they noticed anything unusual about her, they would probably have to worry even more.

After adjusting her mindset, she finally spoke, her voice still a little strained, but she deliberately softened it:

"He didn't cause you any trouble, did he? Dad, don't get angry with him, that guy is always shameless..."

Li Qing listened on the other end, secretly wondering to herself.

The rejection in her daughter's words was too obvious. In the past, when Ji Hongmao was mentioned, Li Luo was not close to him, but she was not this resistant. It was as if they had some kind of grudge.

She wondered if there had been a misunderstanding in the father and daughter's private communication, and she remembered that Li Luo had mentioned once that she had "had a bad prophetic dream". Maybe there was something in the dream that her daughter cared about.

But the child didn't bring it up, and she didn't press for details.

My daughter is growing up and has her own thoughts; pushing her too hard will only make things worse.

"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare cause trouble." Tang Mingcheng's voice carried a hint of disdain and composure, completely disregarding Ji Hongmao. "I've been keeping an eye on him to prevent him from wandering around the base and causing trouble. He always circles around our territory; frankly, he doesn't have the guts to come in, he's just a nuisance."

In fact, Tang Mingcheng had noticed Li Luo's change long ago.

Ever since his daughter vaguely mentioned to him that "there seemed to be danger in my dream that was related to Ji Hongmao," he has been extremely wary of this person.

He didn't expose her, only thinking about keeping a close eye on this troublesome person for his daughter, so that the other party wouldn't have a chance to cause trouble, and he didn't want his daughter to be distracted by family matters while carrying reagents outside.

In any case, given their strength, if things really escalated, Ji Hongmao's abilities would be no match for them.

But Li Luo couldn't help but say, "Maybe I should go back now..."

“No need!” Li Qing interrupted immediately, her tone firm and unwavering. “Your most important task now is to meet up with Xiao Lu and the others and deliver the reagents to City B. That stuff is crucial in fighting the virus, and we can’t let things at home delay us. Your dad and I can handle it, don’t worry.”

“But Mom…” Li Luo wanted to say more, but Tang Mingcheng’s voice came through again, very calm:

"Lolo, listen to me. Once you come back, Ji Hongmao will have a reason to pester you. After you deliver the reagents, the three of us can easily kick him out of the base. There's no need to get distracted now."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Mengyun's cheerful voice came from the other end of the communicator, as if she were saying, "Just grab something."

“Ah Qing, Ji Hongmao is hanging around the gate again. I’ll go and get rid of him so he won’t stand there like a piece of rotten wood and get in the way.”

Li Qing smiled into the communicator: "Luo Luo, I'll hang up now. I've taken care of some small things here. You focus on delivering the reagents, and I'll make you some braised pork later to nourish you."

"Mom!" Before Li Luo could even give her some instructions, the screen went dark with a "click," and the gray text "Communication interrupted" stung her eyes.
