Chapter 1009: Chapter 1038: Pinky Swear, Hang Yourself If You Break It—A 100-Year Promise

Zhang Mengjie smiled at her. She found her increasingly adorable.

It’s a pity that she didn’t have a daughter. If she had such a cute daughter, that would be amazing.

Of course, having a daughter would take a few more years. It’s not like saying you want a daughter and then just having one.

”Hmm. This... My mom never told me that.”

”Your mom didn’t tell you this. Then how can you be sure that the sister is a bad person?”

”But why don’t you let me find my mom? You’re not taking me to find her either.”

”That’s because the sister is concerned about you. Maybe your mom is looking for you right now. I’m taking you to eat, actually waiting for your mom.”

Zhang Mengjie didn’t know why she ended up chatting with a little kid. If the Butterfly Gang sisters saw this, she wondered what their expression would be like.

Lin Zifeng had never seen Zhang Mengjie so attentive and patient before. She was very unique.

”I... I... I still miss my mom. Sister, please take me to find my mom.”

In the end, the little girl still pleaded with Zhang Mengjie to take her to find her mom.

Zhang Mengjie naturally understood her mindset now. Being so young and never having left her parents, how could she not miss her mom?

”Okay, okay, okay. As long as you listen obediently, everything will be fine.”

Her squatting down with a smiling face made the little girl very trusting.

”Pinky promise.” The little girl giggled and extended her pinky finger.

”Alright. Pinky promise.”

”Pinky promise, hang on, a hundred years no change.”

”Yes. Pinky promise, hang on, a hundred years no change. Whoever changes is a big turtle.”

At eleven-thirty in the evening, based on the information provided by passersby.

The little girl’s parents finally found her. Her mother cried out in fright when she saw her daughter.

The reason they were able to find her was that the little girl ran out from the burger shop earlier and shouted for help. This led passersby to provide a lot of information.

”Thank you. Thank you. Without you, I might really have collapsed.” The mother was extremely grateful to Zhang Mengjie.

The little girl’s mother was a beauty in her early twenties, even younger than Zhang Mengjie. This made Zhang Mengjie pause for a moment. The little girl’s mother was so young. When she saw the little girl’s father afterward, Zhang Mengjie was completely defeated because her father seemed even younger than her mother.

Oh no, oh no. Such young people, much younger than herself, were having children, and yet she was still single.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mengjie blushed, feeling awkward. What was this about?

”You don’t need to thank me, just take good care of your child in the future and don’t lose her again. It’s very dangerous.” Zhang Mengjie smiled slightly and did not feel like she had done anything by helping find the girl.

”Without you, I really doubt if Yanyan’s father and I wouldn’t go crazy.”

The young mother still looked terrified.

”Yes, if this beautiful lady doesn’t mind, let’s arrange a place to have a meal tomorrow. I really have to thank you properly.”

”No need. It’s just a small matter, no need to make it so ceremonious. Just take good care of your daughter.”

Zhang Mengjie no longer had the interest to continue chatting.

The best outcome was for the little girl to return to the embrace of her parents, and that was enough.

”Since that’s the case, I won’t insist then. Yanyan, quickly say goodbye to the sister.”

”Goodbye, sister. I will remember you. When Yanyan grows up, I’ll definitely invite you for a burger.”

”Alright, alright. Then the sister will wait for you to grow up.” Zhang Mengjie bent down, smiled, and patted her little face, then turned and walked alone toward the road.

”Mom, the sister is a good person. I want to have the chance to invite her to a good meal.”

After Zhang Mengjie left, the little girl seemed a bit reluctant. Although it was just a short encounter, Zhang Mengjie’s impression on her was very positive.

If possible, she really wanted to invite the sister for a meal.

”Anyone can tell that sister is not just an ordinary person. Wait until you grow up to find her.” The couple led the little girl, watching Zhang Mengjie disappear into the dark night. Then gradually, they left.

For Zhang Mengjie, suddenly without the little girl, she found herself feeling as if something was missing, which was odd.

Perhaps there was just too much she had pent-up inside her over the years, and suddenly releasing it didn’t seem so naturally easy.

Zhang Mengjie shook her head with a bitter smile.

Maybe she was just overthinking it.

Walking into the solitary night, she listened to the sounds of the night gradually quieting down. Yet she didn’t want to go home.

Instead, she sat quietly on a stone bench, contemplating her future.

Reflecting on her future development.

Soon, Zhonghai would undergo an unprecedented reshuffle. By then, the entire Zhonghai would belong solely to Lin Zifeng. At that time, they would revolve around the power established by Lin Zifeng; who knows whether that would be a joy or a worry.

Staring at the pitch-black night sky, Zhang Mengjie let out a long sigh and finally chose to go back.

......

Upon returning home, her younger sister Zhang Yuxuan immediately came up to her.

”Sister, where did you go tonight? I haven’t seen you at all.”

”Oh, nothing. Just went out for a walk. Just to relax.”

Zhang Mengjie casually made up an excuse to brush her off, then walked into her own room and lay down to sleep. She suddenly felt a bit tired and just wanted to sleep.

”Sister, are you okay? Are you under too much pressure?” Zhang Yuxuan’s eyes darted around, noticing that her sister seemed a bit off.

”No, really, I’m just tired tonight. I really just want to lie down and sleep well,” Zhang Mengjie said helplessly.

She spent the whole evening with the little girl, but later the little girl ran out, treating her like a villain. Chased for so long and even fought with several people, could she not be tired?

Now, in Zhang Yuxuan’s eyes, it seemed like she had some worries.

What kind of logic was that?

”You, you really have nothing else going on?”

”Do you need me to explode and tell you, I have nothing going on, for you to be at ease?”

Zhang Mengjie was stunned. She found her sister had changed, becoming so nosy, so annoying. She just wanted to sleep, but her sister kept pestering her endlessly. It was exasperating.

It’s already good enough that the elder sister didn’t intervene in the younger sister’s affairs. On the contrary, she started caring about her sister’s business. It’s really speechless.

”Fine, don’t say it. Why be so fierce with me? I’m just concerned about you, I didn’t do anything wrong,” Zhang Yuxuan felt wronged.

It seemed like she was being overly concerned. If it weren’t for her elder sister, she wouldn’t have bothered with so much. Moreover, after getting involved, instead of gratitude, she was scolded. How unfair.

Zhang Yuxuan walked to the living room alone and angrily plopped down on the sofa. Then she turned on the TV and watched a boring drama.

But no matter how she watched, she couldn’t get into it. The drama on TV was her favorite before, but now she couldn’t enjoy it, probably because she was so irritated by her sister.

Zhang Mengjie was too tired to mind her sister. After running the whole night, her legs were almost broken. She didn’t even have the energy to speak. Where would she find the mood to bother with her? Lying down, her mind kept circling with the affairs of the Nantian Gang and the Tianhong Gang. The power structure of Zhonghai was about to change soon. If she couldn’t grasp the information about the Tianhong Gang now, it would be a disadvantage when conflict arose.

”No way! I have to investigate for the Nantian Gang properly.”

But her legs simply refused to listen. After several attempts to get up and investigate the Tianhong Gang’s information, she finally gritted her teeth and stood up. For the future of the Nantian Gang, for Lin Zifeng, and for betting on her own future, she got up and rushed to her computer, continuously searching for related information and calling many people.

She wanted to know everything about the Tianhong Gang.

After a whole night’s investigation, she finally got all the related information. Then she copied all the data and sent it to Lin Zifeng’s cloud. She spent an entire night’s effort, not knowing if Lin Zifeng would look.

It wasn’t until the next afternoon that she woke up from her sleep. After a night of exhaustion, she felt like her bones were falling apart. Fortunately, she slept through the whole day; otherwise, she’d doubt if she could keep it up.

However, just after waking, she didn’t have time to eat before Lin Zifeng’s order was already issued. That night marked the beginning of Zhonghai’s major reshuffle. With time so pressing, she hurriedly dressed and rushed to the Nantian Gang’s headquarters meeting room. But Lin Zifeng hadn’t appeared yet. He was waiting, seemingly waiting for certain people to arrive.

But at this moment, it seemed early. It was only half past five in the afternoon. He wasn’t in such a rush to act.

First, he went through all the information on the Tianhong Gang, Heavenly Martial Society, and Blood Oath. The most troublesome one was the Tianhong Gang, the others he could ignore.

In the evening, he played with the Magic Bracelet in his palm, constantly fiddling with it. The Magic Bracelet was too mysterious. Lin Zifeng hadn’t completely explored the secrets within it. Rumors had it that the Magic Bracelet possessed resurrection capabilities, but Lin Zifeng had yet to feel this power. Unfortunately, he was still too weak to fully unlock the secrets inside the Magic Bracelet. He wondered, if all its secrets were truly unraveled, how powerful would the Magic Bracelet become?

”Oh, Magic Bracelet, I’ve placed all my hopes on you. Why can’t you give me some hints? They say you’re a precious treasure, but why haven’t I found you so valuable?” Lin Zifeng chuckled bitterly. He didn’t think the Magic Bracelet was incredibly precious. The Twelve Warhawks had always been an unshakeable nightmare in his mind.

If the Magic Bracelet truly had the power of resurrection, he’d truly want to revive everyone immediately. But another issue was bothering him. Of the Twelve Warhawks, only Red Eagle still had some spiritual sense, the others had no consciousness. They weren’t exactly dead. If the Magic Bracelet truly had the power of resurrection, would it also have the power to restore consciousness?

Honestly, Lin Zifeng was quite looking forward to more surprises from the Magic Bracelet.

The more surprises, the more unexpected benefits he’d receive. It would be hard not to get stronger.

When Lin Zifeng arrived at the Nantian Gang headquarters later.

Huo Zhengfeng and Shuobude had been waiting for a long time.

”Lin, what’s the situation? Is there a new mission?”

Huo Zhengfeng asked nervously.

From the moment they joined the Nantian Gang, the four of them considered the Nantian Gang their home.

Besides, following Lin Zifeng was much better than wandering outside.
