Subordinate Doting - Chap 139
The boy said before that the man named Wend wanted to capture him and sell him, probably because of this. After all, the boy is already 17 years old, and it would be difficult to sell him if he was any older.
”How is grandma now? How much do you need for medical expenses?” Ji Tingyu took out his wallet, took out all the cash inside and gave it to Xiao Xiong.
The little bear shook his head and said no.
”I didn’t give it to you.”
Ji Tingyu was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so he explained: “In your case, you can apply for help from the Minors Protection Association. The organization will give you a grant when the time comes. I am a member of the organization, which is equivalent to giving you the donation in advance for emergency use.”
The little bear tilted his head, and stared at Ji Tingyu with his unfocused eyes like a zombie.
Two seconds later, he stretched out his head and called out twice gently as if begging for a caress.
This is a gesture of goodwill from the sloth bear.
”Brother, you are the best person in the world. I wish I could have met you earlier.”
Ji Tingyu’s heart tightened, “Grandma…”
”I can’t keep it.”
The little bear choked up a little, lowered his head and wiped his eyes, and big drops of water hit the wooden stakes with a plop.
”She vomited a lot of blood, and we spent all our family’s money. The doctor said that she was old and it would be difficult to save her. Last night, the doctor told me… to stay with her for the last time, and today is the day.”
The team members sighed after hearing this and put down their breakfast to look at him. As a team whose mission is to maintain security and save lives, they always have an innate sympathy for this poor little guy.
”What wish does your grandma have?” Meng Fan asked him, “We need to stay for half a day so we can help her realize it.”
”Let’s put this aside for now. The key is that Wend.” Rosalin said, “Let’s go to the local police to file a case. I’m really worried that the crazy bastard has sold him out.”
Ji Tingyu said nothing and stared at the floor in silence for a long while.
Suddenly he remembered something and raised his head, raising his chin: “Rosaline, go get a towel.”
”Okay.” The beautiful snake jumped up, swung its tail and hung upside down on the side of the boat, throwing itself up like a spring, and then a white towel flew down from the boat.
Ji Tingyu reached out to take it and handed it to the little bear.
”Wipe your feet first. They are covered with moss and mud. It didn’t rain last night. Did you go to the woods? You are so messy.”
”Yes, I went to Mount Yier. There is a kind of mushroom my grandmother likes there.”
Ji Tingyu hummed and asked casually, “What kind of mushrooms are they? Are they delicious? I like mushrooms, too.”
”It’s delicious, but you have to handle it well or you’ll get poisoned. In my brother’s country, that mushroom is called Jianshouqing.”
”Okay, I remember it. Which mountain is it? Point it out to me.”
Hearing this, Little Bear turned around and pointed to a northwest-northwest direction without hesitation: “It’s right there. If you want to go there, remember to wear a raincoat. The mountain is very foggy.”
Ji Tingyu nodded and said he understood, took the towel from his hand, and stretched his hand back.
Sha Moqing quickly leaned over to take it, but was unable to do so because Ji Tingyu was holding a corner of the towel tightly, raising his eyelids and looking at him silently.
Desert Green had a blank expression on his face, and his sharp eagle eyes mechanically moved toward the little bear eating fried dough sticks next to him, then moved back, and his chin lightly nodded in an almost imperceptible arc.
Ji Tingyu let go and turned around to continue chatting with the little bear.
Mo Moqing took off his headphones and took a half step back.
The players on both sides naturally surrounded him, forming a human wall.
When the wall of people dispersed, Desert Green was no longer visible. Only a flapping mountain eagle was flying towards the northwest.
The originally relaxed atmosphere seemed to be frozen.
The team members lowered their heads and continued to eat, with no extra expressions on their faces, but they all sped up their eating. After a few bites, they slowly strolled back to the boat, “Boss, let’s retreat.”
The moment he entered the blind spot, he immediately ran, climbed into the warehouse and grabbed his weapon.
In less than two minutes, the five best sniper points on the side of the ship close to the port were all set up.
Ji Tingyu took off He Zhuo’s cufflinks from the scarf, used the smooth reflective surface to see the scene behind him, and continued to talk to the little bear calmly.
At the same time, he relaxed his body backward, stretched out his left arm and placed it on the back of the chair, making a gesture – sniper on standby.
Five black muzzles immediately appeared on the deck.
Ji Tingyu asked Xiao Xiong: “Your grandmother is in the hospital at the next port. Have you been accompanying her the whole time? It’s been hard work for her. Did you forget to take anything when you suddenly came back yesterday?”
Rosalin looked at him and high-fived him as if she had just discovered something. “Oh, right? Didn’t the doctor say it would be today? Why are you back?”
Little Bear: “I—”
Ji Tingyu: “Picking mushrooms for grandma?”
Little Bear: “Yes, I think–”
Ji Tingyu: “But the boat ticket from here to the next port is not cheap. Do you have enough money? If not, I will advance it for you.”
Little Bear: “No, no, I still have——”
Ji Tingyu: “How much is a boat ticket?”
”Fifty.”
“What about the peak season?”
”eighty.”
”I want to buy a ticket, but I don’t have any pounds. Can you help me change some money?”
Ji Tingyu spoke very quickly, and his questions came one after another like a string of cannonballs. His cold gaze pierced straight into his heart, bringing a complete sense of oppression.
Little Bear was not flustered at all, and answered in an orderly manner, nodding and agreeing with him with a smile: “Sure, I am willing to help my brother. Do I have to change now?”
Ji Tingyu frowned, and after a while, he sneered.
”This is the ice-free port of Croatia. The helmsman, Anor, is a 30-year-old cheetah. He has a lot of rules because of his strong religious beliefs. One of them is that he does not accept pounds.”
He paused, turned around, and said with a sharp gaze: “As an indigenous person, you don’t even know this?”
”Ah? You don’t want to accept it?”
