Chapter 12: Uncle, Good Night
Only after her master had fallen asleep did Su Keke quietly take out her antique phone, her little fingers tapping away at it rapidly.
Back at the club, Qin Mochen—who had just fallen asleep—heard his phone chime. He frowned slightly, but the next second, as if recalling something, he immediately opened his eyes.
He turned on the bedside lamp and checked the message.
Su Keke: Uncle, I’m already home. I’m rolling around on my bed right now.
“Heh.” Qin Mochen couldn’t help letting out a soft laugh.
She was already grown, yet still acted like a little kid, rolling around on the bed.
He glanced at the clock at the top of his screen and frowned.
After rolling around once more, Su Keke soon received a reply.
Qin Mochen: Why did it take you so long to get home?
Su Keke kept tapping and replied: Uncle, my home is pretty remote—on Peach Blossom Mountain in Peach Blossom Village of Peach Blossom Town. Cars only go as far as the town entrance and won’t go any farther in. I had to run back myself. I’m so tired.
Qin Mochen stared at the message, his brows knitting tighter, his expression turning rather severe. He opened the map and searched for Peach Blossom Mountain.
After waiting a while without getting a reply, Su Keke sent another message: Uncle, are you asleep? Then good night~ Tomorrow morning I’ll come report in to you.
Qin Mochen: Girl, is it convenient for you to take a call?
Seeing the message, Su Keke instinctively glanced toward the inner room. Then she quietly climbed out of bed, stealthily opened the door, and tiptoed more than a hundred meters away.
Su Keke: It’s fine, Uncle. You’re my employer now—everything comes before you.
Seeing that, Qin Mochen immediately called her.
“Hello, Uncle.”
“Mm. I just checked the map. Peach Blossom Mountain is still some distance from the end of Peach Blossom Village. Can cars drive up that stretch of road?”
“The road’s a bit narrow, and it’s still a dirt road. Cars can’t get through.”
“Alright, I know. I’ll go pick you up tomorrow.”
“Huh? That makes me feel bad. I’m taking your money to do a job—how can I trouble you like that?”
“It’s no trouble. I’ll also meet your master while I’m there and talk to him about your schooling. It’s late now—go to bed early.”
“Okay, Uncle. Good night~”
After ending the call, Qin Mochen immediately phoned Assistant Wu.
“Tomorrow morning, have my off-road vehicle brought out. Also, prepare two modified mountain bikes with rear seats.”
Assistant Wu accepted the task with utmost seriousness—though inwardly, he was utterly baffled.
An off-road vehicle? Mountain bikes?
Could it be that Fourth Master Qin, the ultimate workaholic, was actually going on a road trip?
Shocking!
As the all-capable assistant to Fourth Master Qin of the capital, Wu thoughtfully reminded his boss:
“You have a scheduled itinerary tomorrow. And at noon, you’re supposed to visit your eldest nephew in the hospital.”
Qin Mochen directly moved the morning meeting to another time.
As for Qin Junchi, he didn’t mention him at all.
From this, it was clear that this eldest nephew ranked very low in his fourth uncle’s heart.
Early the next morning, a black off-road vehicle flashy enough to blind titanium-alloy dog eyes drove into Peach Blossom Town and headed toward Peach Blossom Village.
There were many small towns around the capital. Peach Blossom Town had originally been Peach Blossom Village, but after development, it became a town.
However, the poorest area still retained its old name—Peach Blossom Village.
At first, the road was flat and wide. Further in, it narrowed, and the off-road vehicle nearly took up half the road.
Qin Mochen, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them and looked out the window.
