Under the moonlight

Chapter 119 Is he going too?

"Hey, Li Shuo, what's up?" Miao Miao answered the phone almost the moment it rang.

“It’s me. Didn’t you say this afternoon that if I really wanted to go, you could get me a plane ticket? Get me one.” Li Shuo said bluntly.

"What? What do you need this for?" Miao Miao was startled.

"Never mind that, just tell me whether you'll give it to me or not!" Li Shuo said irritably.

"Okay, I'll check with my uncle again. Please wait a moment."

"Hurry up, I'm waiting for you." Li Shuo hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. His last words were like a curse to Miao Miao.

Miao Miao immediately contacted her uncle and told him that her classmate was a businessman and had a batch of goods to be delivered there. Li Shuo had taught her to say this, because now only businessmen and officials could go to S country.

Li Shuo paced anxiously in the room, unsure if the woman could pull it off. Ever since the blind date, she had been bombarding him with phone calls and WeChat messages every day. If it weren't for Huang Meng's matter, he would never have contacted her on his own initiative. Sometimes, being ruthless is far more morally sound than being promiscuous.

"Hello, what's up?" The phone finally rang, and Li Shuo asked anxiously.

"Yes, you must catch that flight tomorrow, otherwise there will be no way to catch it."

"Okay, I understand. Where are the tickets?" Li Shuo was most concerned about the tickets.

"I'll bring it to you first thing tomorrow morning." Actually, Li Shuo could have just gone to the airport to pick it up, but she knew that this was the only way she could see him.

"Okay, don't forget tomorrow." Li Shuo knew what she was thinking, but since she had helped him, he couldn't refuse. After hanging up, Li Shuo asked his boss for leave, explaining that his friend was sick and dying and he needed to go save him.

Yes, that's pretty much the truth.

Li Shuo had already made up his mind. Even if he couldn't bring Huang Meng back, just being able to see her would be enough for him to do right by his aunt.

With different thoughts on their minds, almost none of them slept well that night.

The next morning, Li Shuo successfully met Miao Miao. After Miao Miao made various excuses to give Li Shuo a brief hug, she finally got the plane ticket and rushed to the airport.

Huang Meng and Zhao Meng went to the airport together, while Xu Ao took a taxi. The group started from different locations but had the same destination. As a result, when Huang Meng saw Li Shuo at the boarding gate, she almost screamed. Looking at Li Shuo's back, she rushed over and slapped him on the butt. She couldn't even reach the back of his head.

"Who is it!" Li Shuo turned around angrily, looked at Huang Meng through his sunglasses, who was furious, suddenly chuckled, and without fighting back, turned and ran. "Help!" There was no one at the boarding gate, and their commotion quickly attracted the attention of Xu Ao, who was sitting and resting. He just watched helplessly as Huang Meng chased after Li Shuo past him.

Xu Ao turned around abruptly. Sure enough, it was Huang Meng and Li Shuo! Turning back again, Zhao Meng was standing right in front of him. "We meet again?"

"You'd better be here to see me off," Xu Ao said, gritting his teeth as he looked at Zhao Meng.

"Well, what do you have that we'd like to give you?" Zhao Meng said, then sat down casually.

Xu Ao turned to look at Huang Meng, who was still chasing after Li Shuo. Li Shuo also saw him and quickly shouted, "Help! Don't just stand there and watch!"

Xu Ao looked at the innocent-looking Zhao Meng, then at the two people chasing after him, and sighed heavily. Their presence here at this time could only mean one thing. "Zhao Meng, do you know what's going on there? Even if she begged you, you shouldn't have brought her here," Xu Ao said fiercely, staring at Zhao Meng.

He desperately wanted to keep the girl, a girl who wanted her safety even at the cost of losing her.

“You should know her too. Do you think she’ll just stay if you don’t let her? Even if you keep her here, won’t she carry a grudge about this for the rest of her life?” Zhao Meng said calmly to Xu Ao.

"I believe I can protect her."

"You can?" Xu Ao turned his head away dismissively.

"Didn't you two break up?" Zhao Mengzhen really knew how to rub salt in the wound.

"That's none of your business!" Sure enough, Xu Ao said fiercely, like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end.

Zhao Meng smiled and stopped talking. He sat down opposite him and closed his eyes to rest. Xu Ao glared at him, then looked at Huang Meng, who was standing with her hands on her hips and on tiptoe, pulling Li Shuo's ear. He turned his head to the side helplessly and sighed inwardly.

"Sighing won't help. We should hurry up and think of a way to protect her." Zhao Meng closed his eyes, listening to Xu Ao's long sighs, and frowned impatiently.

“I know without you saying it. Also, don’t think you can stay out of this. Li Shuo, Huang Meng, and you all need to be safe.”

Xu Ao stared at the plane parked outside. Those who were able to board this plane today were either people like him who followed orders, or some risky businessmen who wanted to make a fortune. However, the plague was much better than the war. As long as they brought enough medicine and had the protection of their C country identity, they could indeed make a small profit. Therefore, it could be said that none of the people on this plane were easy to deal with.

"You don't need to teach me about her affairs." Zhao Meng squinted at Xu Ao's worried profile. He had to admit that this man, who usually looked like a pretty boy and a refined scoundrel, was actually very responsible when it mattered.

As the two were talking, a few people walked over from not far away. Xu Ao's gaze immediately fell on them. "Is it them?" Zhao Meng saw that he seemed to recognize him, so he turned around to look as well. The group of people had seen Xu Ao long ago and greeted him from afar: "Hey, isn't this Xu Ao? What? Are you going to S country again? Perfect timing, let's go together, haha~ We feel much more at ease with you."
