Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 149 She is very likely a pawn planted by the enemy in advance.

Everyone's expression changed. Zhao Jie was the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, and he had been bribed by the Third Prince. The state of the Imperial Guards was unimaginable. They could not even fathom what kind of situation the Emperor was facing now.

After discussing it thoroughly, everyone made a joint decision: to set off for Beijing immediately.

“No need,” Lin Xin pressed down on Mo Ziyuan’s arm. “Come with me for a moment.”

Mo Ziyuan nodded and followed Lin Xin out of the house.

"I'll take Nannan and Taotao and leave first. You can leave according to the original plan."

"But······"

“No buts. I’ve been to the capital several times, so I won’t get lost. Besides, this is the safest way. But I’ll need you guys to be my targets. I don’t think the road will be safe. Although the Third Prince’s plan didn’t succeed, who knows if he made any contingency plans? So relatively speaking, you’re the ones in danger.”

"We are not afraid."

"I know you're not afraid. Actually, it won't be long. Once we see the Emperor, you'll be safe."

“I know.” Mo Ziyuan thought Lin Xin’s idea was good. “I’ll go and discuss it with them and arrange for someone to go with you. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see His Majesty.”

"Okay, you can handle that, but..."

"I know I won't tell anyone your secret, don't worry!"

Lin Xin looked into his eyes, and after a long while nodded, "I'll go back and make preparations. If there are no unexpected events, we'll leave tonight."

"Okay!" Mo Ziyuan felt that Lin Xin was practically shining in his eyes right now. He forced himself to turn his head away and not look at her, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to resist wanting to hold her in his arms and hide her away, never letting anyone see her again.

After discussing their plan, the two split up and began to act separately.

When Lin Xin returned home, she saw Lin Nan sitting in the yard with Lin Tao, reciting their lessons in a serious and methodical manner.

"Nannan, Taotao, after you finish reciting today's lessons, pack up your things. We'll leave tonight," Lin Xin said, seizing the opportunity when they paused.

"Are you leaving tonight?" Lin Nan asked in surprise.

"Well, your master might come with us. Brother Mo and the others have other things to do, so they can't travel with us." Lin Xin looked at Lin Nan, who was trying hard to put on a serious face and act like a little adult. She wanted to laugh, but at the same time, she didn't want him to know how bad their situation was about to be.

However, Lin Nan had learned more than just book knowledge from Meng Yichen over the years. Although she couldn't see through what Lin Xin was trying to hide, she instinctively knew that this trip was not simple.

"Will there be any danger?" he asked seriously after thinking for a moment.

Lin Xin hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "Don't worry, with your sister here, it's others who will be in danger."

Although she knew her older sister was incredibly strong, Lin Nan still couldn't help but worry. Her brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. "Is it because of Tao Tao?"

Lin Xin wanted to rub her forehead, then looked down at Lin Tao, who was staring at her with his big, dark eyes. A sudden wave of exhaustion washed over her. This generation of kids was too difficult to manage; she couldn't figure out if they were just too smart or if she was just too stupid. But thinking about what Lin Tao would face in the future, she still led them into the house. The three of them sat neatly on the kang (a heated brick bed), and then she began to tell them everything.

"Is Tao Tao's father in danger right now?" Lin Tao asked, blinking his big eyes.

"We don't know yet, so we need to leave early to check it out, so that Uncle Mo and the others won't be afraid to face bad guys."

"Alright, let's leave tonight," Lin Tao said seriously with a straight face.

"Where's Nan Nan? Is there anything you want to ask?" Lin Xin looked at Lin Nan again.

Lin Nan hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Tao and asked hesitantly, "Sister, the bad guys are already trying to delay our departure. Won't they know if we leave early?"

"This..." Lin Xin hesitated. She had forgotten to ask Zhao Jie if any of the people he brought were his accomplices. But then she thought that when Mo Ziyuan took Zhao Jie away, it had probably already alerted his comrades in the group. Asking him now would be pointless.

"So, should we still leave together, but not in that fancy carriage?" Lin Nan asked again.

“No need,” Lin Xin shook her head. “With your figures right there, it’s hard to hide. Once you’re exposed, they’ll only target you two, and then Brother Mo and the others will inevitably be caught off guard.”

"That's right, it was indeed my oversight." Lin Nan looked down at her and Lin Tao's short stature, pursed her lips, and had to admit that although her older sister's words were harsh, they were very true.

"Alright, you'll grow taller eventually. You're only six years old," Lin Xin rubbed Lin Nan's head and then solemnly reminded him, "But if you keep thinking about these things endlessly, it's hard to say how tall you'll grow in the future. Haven't you heard the old folks say, 'If you only grow smart, you won't grow tall'?"

"I... Humph!" Lin Nan angrily turned her face away and refused to look at Lin Xin.

"It's okay, you're still taller than me no matter what!" Lin Tao's eyes darted around as he ran to Lin Nan's side to comfort her.

Looking at Lin Tao, who was three years younger than her but already as tall as her nose, and then at her older sister next to her who was trying so hard not to laugh that she almost cramped up, Lin Nan felt even more heartbroken.

Lin Xin easily persuaded the two little ones, and the three of them began packing their things. However, things didn't go so smoothly for Mo Ziyuan.

“No, I don’t agree,” Fu Jing said.

"Tell me your reasons." Mo Ziyuan tapped the table with one hand, looking at Fu Jing expressionlessly, and the tension between the two grew.

"Although Miss Lin is highly skilled in martial arts, she also has to take care of Lin Nan. Who can guarantee that she won't prioritize her younger brother and put His Highness in danger when faced with peril?"

“I can guarantee it!” Mo Ziyuan replied firmly.

"You!" Fu Jing's forehead veins bulged. He suppressed his anger and tried to reason with Mo Ziyuan: "Ziyuan, this is not the time to act rashly. He is His Majesty's only heir, the crown prince who is set in stone. If anything happens to him, none of us can bear the responsibility."

“I know Xin’er. She’s not that kind of person. If she’s made a promise, she’d rather die than not keep it.”

"Ziyuan!" Seeing that Mo Ziyuan insisted on his opinion of Lin Xin, Fu Jing finally lost his temper. "Can you wake up? How much do you really know about Lin Xin? Look at everything she's done. Which one of these things could a village girl who has never left the mountains do? Even the villagers who live with her day and night haven't noticed anything wrong. What does that mean? It means she's not just a simple village girl. She might be a pawn that the enemy has planted in advance. Wake up!"
