Chapter 17: Who Are You (Part 1)

  The fleet arrived at the Dongjiao Hotel in the late afternoon. The predecessor of the Dongjiao Hotel was a government guest house in Nanquan City, which was later expanded and renovated. Its geographical location is very unique, built on the middle of a mountain peak, overlooking Nanquan City in front and climbing mountains in the distance, making it an ideal place to relax and unwind, even during the first month of the year, many families come here to celebrate the Spring Festival. At this time, a heavy snowfall added a few more touches of elegance and refinement to the originally majestic Dongjiao Hotel, like a fairyland in the mountains.

  In the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Mei Fang held little Cao Sen and sat upright on the sofa. Little Cao Sen looked around, sighing in his heart that he had wanted to stay here for two days before, but didn't have enough money then. Now that he has some money, he can't play anything, what bad luck! Let everyone come back to life once, Cao Sen's heart was quite delighted, and everything seemed pleasing to the eye.

  Teng Fei arranged for the team members to be on high alert, while Old Tree Bark transformed into a fake Cao Sen, pretending to command the team members to adjust their positions. He and Sima De, who was in charge of collecting and distributing goods, gathered together separately.

  "We don't have much money left, brother," Sima De said in a low voice.

  "What? Isn't it over 30 million?"

  "Think about it, buying a car, buying a gun, paying high salaries, and also Mu Mu's mom, that spending method, even 300 million would be spent completely."

  "How much is left?" Teng Fei asked, stunned.

  "Hey, it's over a hundred million."

  "Come on, it's not a small amount. Wait until you're left with only 10 bucks and then come find me," Teng Fei said discontentedly. "What a big deal, coming to bother me over such a trivial matter."

  Damn it! Sima De looked helplessly as Teng Fei walked away. Not knowing the value of money when not in charge, this guy spent nearly 2 million in less than half a month. How many days can the remaining 1.1 million last? He thought of Liu Sanmazi, who sold guns, and how he asked for 100,000 yuan for an M240B rifle. Damn his ancestor! One day when I'm out of money, I'll rob this little bastard! Sima De complained as he went to check on the two team members booking a room.

  "How much is the house price?" he asked the beautiful waitress who was always smiling.

  "20% off, sir."

  "Give me a 58% discount!" Sima De said in a harsh tone, pulling out a Glock pistol and slapping it on the counter, "I'm from the Criminal Police Unit."

  "This...this...sir...I don't have the authority." The beautiful smile on the waitress's face disappeared, and she stuttered.

  Bang! Bang! The two team members also slapped their guns on the table.

  Three black guns with dark holes at the muzzle, the waitress's eyes widened.

  The manager of the hall on this side saw the situation and hastily reported to the top via intercom. After listening to the instructions from above, he hurried over with a smile on his face and said to Sima De: "Sorry, really sorry, our service staff is not high-quality, slow, please don't get angry." The manager then put away his smile and seriously told the waiter, "The police officers sacrifice themselves to maintain our stable life, we must repay their kindness, 50% off!"

  Simen De put away his gun and said, "The police badge is really useful. From now on, I'll just be colleagues with Guo Jing."

  The general manager's office of Dongjiao Hotel, a fat man in his fifties was on the phone, "They've arrived... Yes, yes, I'll definitely keep them here!"

  Teng Fei arranged for the A-team members to follow the service staff to inspect the room, and then surrounded Mei Fang holding Cao Sen to enter. Cao Sen's residence was still the most luxurious suite, except for his and Mei Fang's bedroom, the living room and study were all guarded by team members.

  Mei Fang was a seasoned mother, directing Huo Yun and Jin Da Chui to arrange the baby's things. She also changed Cao Sen's thick clothes, carried him to the bathroom, washed and scrubbed, came out and continued to breastfeed.

  Cao Sen listened to all of Mei Fang's words and was extremely obedient, making Mei Fang overjoyed and rewarding him with more than a dozen kisses.

  Xiang Xiang was noisy and wanted to take Little Cao Sen to play in the snow, but was pulled out of the room by Guo Jing's collar.

  Teng Fei seriously told Guo Jing: "You, go and play in the snow with Xiang Xiang, he lowered his voice, "Take the opportunity to observe the situation around."

  Guo Jing glared at Teng Fei and took Xiang Xiang away.

  Xiao Ludi was also going to go, but he took a look at Guo Jing's broad back, which was as wide as a bear's, and thought it would be safer to surf the internet instead.

  After a flurry of activity, both internal and external sentry posts as well as emergency evacuation plans were all finalized, allowing everyone to finally catch their breath.

  Cao Sen had just drunk a bellyful of milk and was sitting idly on the wide bed, watching Mei Fang carefully smoothing out every wrinkle in each of his small clothes. Mei Fang gently stacked them up neatly, categorizing them with precision, and to Cao Sen's surprise, several high and low piles quickly appeared on the big bed. He thought to himself, "Are these really all mine? How can I have more clothes than when I was an adult?" Women are so annoying, what's the point of doing this? Hmm, Mei Fang seemed to be very dedicated... maybe... He flipped over onto his stomach and quietly crawled towards the edge of the bed, hiding behind the piles of clothes.

  "Stop right there," Meifang said without moving her head or looking up, knowing exactly what Xiao Caosen was doing. "Little thing, where do you think you're going?"

  Cao Sen knew he couldn't escape Mei Fang's grasp, so he lay on the bed with a helpless expression, letting out a deep sigh.

  Mei Fang put the clothes in the wardrobe, lay down beside Xiao Cao Sen, and gently rubbed his belly. "Baby, Mommy wants to make a bet with you."

  Cao Sen enjoyed Mei Fang's caress, let out a comfortable snort, and asked Mei Fang with his eyes, what bet?

  "I'll pretend to be asleep, and you sneak out of bed, crawl out of the bedroom, and see how the guards outside treat you."

  All right! Cao Sen's eyes lit up, he also wanted to know how his brothers would treat him after he became a child. This was actually a pretty good test.

  "I bet those team members will send you back." Mei Fang said with confidence.

  Cao Sen shook his head, no, they would give me cigarettes to smoke and let me see their automatic firearms.

  "Alright then, let's make a bet. If Mom wins, baby has to be obedient and eat properly, no talking back."

  Cao Sen nodded.

  "You won, I'll ask a team member to play with you, okay?" Mei Fang continued.

  Cao Sen nodded again.

  "Alright, let's start." Mei Fang wanted to pick up Cao Sen and put him on the carpet, but Cao Sen stretched out his arms and legs in refusal.

  He crawled to the edge of the bed, took a look, and exclaimed, "Wow, it's so high!" He then turned his body around with his legs facing downwards and slid down from the big bed. Shaking and staggering, he got up and stumbled towards the door.

  Mei Fang lay on the bed, her eyes fixed on that small figure, watching Xiao Cao Sen walk with a wobbly gait, feeling happy and proud in her heart, my baby can walk!

  Arriving at the door, Cao Sen raised his hands high and grasped the doorknob with a twist, opening the door. Haha, brothers, your Sen brother is free! With passion-filled steps, he strode out, tripped, and fell onto the carpet with a thud.

  In the spacious living room outside the bedroom, two team members sat on the sofa with their eyes closed. As soon as the bedroom door opened, they opened a slit in their eyes and were shocked to see Xiaocao tumbling out. Wooden? How did he sneak out?

  "Little Mu Mu, where's your mom? Doesn't she want you anymore? Hehe." A team member rushed forward to pick up Little Cao Sen.

  Cao Sen was furious, what the hell is going on? My mom doesn't want me anymore?! It's because I made a bet with my mom... damn it... I made a bet with Mei Fang that little girl!

  Another teammate also came over and touched Cao Sen's smooth face, "You have to listen to your mom, otherwise Uncle will spank you!"

  Two team members ignored Cao Sen's angry gaze and knocked on the door, "Madam, Mu Mu has slipped out."

  "Thank you, let him come back by himself." Mei Fang said in a clear and crisp voice.

  "Didn't you hear? Little guy, don't be naughty next time!" The team member put Cao Sen on the ground and gently pushed him towards the bedroom.

  Xiao Cao Sen involuntarily returned to his bedroom, and the door closed behind him.

  Mei Fang smiled brightly at Cao Sen, her eyes filled with adoration and triumph. Cao Sen's young body required a lot of sleep, far more than an adult needed. While he slept, Mei Fang had seen Teng Fei repeatedly emphasize to the other brothers that they must treat Little Cao Sen as Mu Mu, stressing that Old Tree Bark was indeed Cao Sen, and the team members were making an effort to keep up with the change in their thinking, so Mei Fang dared to make a bet with Cao Sen.

  Cao Sen didn't know any of this, and very simply lost the bet. He obediently returned to Mei Fang's arms, let out a yawn, and thought dazedly, "Whatever, it's just a name." But he was thinking that sooner or later he would make those little brats suffer. As for whether or not he should fulfill the bet and stop talking dirty from now on, he was Mu Mu, a young child, what credibility did he have to talk about? Hehe, I didn't lose.

  In Mei Fang's lullaby, Cao Sen fell asleep.

  In the dead of night, Cao Sen woke up after a good sleep. The soft light from the bedside lamp illuminated one side of Mei Fang's face, with her skin looking fair and delicate, while the other side was shrouded in shadow, giving her an ambiguous beauty.

  Such a beautiful young girl, why is she so obsessed with the role of a mother? If she really wants children, why doesn't she have one herself? Ten men would be willing to cooperate with her if she wanted ten kids. Cao Sen was perplexed, and thought to himself: "Hey, if I hadn't become an infant, I could also cooperate with her."

  He was lying in Mei Fang's arms, Mei Fang only wore a silk suspender nightdress, the scenery on her upper body Cao Sen could see at a glance, and he had an idea in his mind. His gaze at Mei Fang naturally had a focus. Hmm, this woman's skin and figure were impeccable.

  Thinking of this, Cao Sen suddenly felt a little guilty. She had treated herself as her son in the fantasy world, and she had actually used her frail body to withstand the heavy iron fist of the wooden puppet until her body was pierced through. In Cao Sen's eyes, it seemed that he saw again a bloody wooden hand coming out from Mei Fang's white chest, and the crystal tears filled with despair and reluctance also fell into his eyes once more. Cao Sen's eyes became moist.

  Damn it! Cao Sen cursed silently in his heart, how many years has he been dry-eyed, what kind of nerve did he have tonight!

  Although Cao Sen's reversal in the fantasy realm brought everything back to life, including Mei Fang and others, he knew that the scene at that time was truly happening, and he, Cao Sen, owed everyone a life, and what he owed Mei Fang was not just one life.

  Alas! Cao Sen let out a long sigh in his heart. How am I going to pay off this debt? Heaven, I'm cursing your ancestors!

  He seemed to dare not look at that delicate face, Cao Sen carefully turned over, with his back facing Mei Fang. Although he was small and agile, although his movements were extremely light, he still startled Mei Fang, Cao Sen hastily closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

  Meifang frowned slightly in her sleep, her hand searching and finding Cao Sen's body, seeming to relax, her hand applying a bit more force, holding Cao Sen tighter, before falling back asleep.

  Cao Sen slowly opened his eyes and saw a pair of bright big eyes in front of him. He was startled, and upon closer inspection, it was Jing Zhe.

  Even on a sunny day, Jing Zhe didn't dare to come out. As soon as night fell, she followed the direction that Teng Fei had told her and found her way here. When she entered the bedroom, the old tree bark that had transformed into Cao Sen was standing guard in the living room outside, gazing at her with a dazed expression. Jing Zhe knew that the old tree bark could see her even when she was invisible, and she didn't like his gaze. Without greeting him, she went straight inside. Now that she thought about it, it seemed quite impolite.

  Cao Sen glanced at the pretty female ghost and playfully blinked his eyes.

  Jing Zhe also blinked his eyes.

  Although both blinked their eyes, Cao Sen felt that his small eyes were blinking rapidly, while Jing Zhe's big eyes were flashing on and off, with a huge difference in visual appeal.

  Then he stared at Jing Zhe with his eyes wide open, and Jing Zhe also stared back at him, which reminded Cao Sen of an idiom - "big eyes staring at small eyes" - foolish eyes, Cao Sen silently cracked a smile.

  Jing Zhe felt that the miniaturized Cao Sen was so adorable, and there was no longer the domineering aura on adult Cao Sen's body that made her afraid. She couldn't help but kiss the little Cao Sen's forehead.
