Reborn One Week Before the Apocalypse

Chapter 210: Chapter 200: The Full Escort

Lao Ba was in charge of this training camp. Seeing his sister-in-law being carried out of a training room on someone’s back gave him a shock, and he hurried over.

”Sister-in-law, who bullied you? I’ll go kill him right now!”

Lao Ba was furious. For his sister-in-law to get hurt on his own turf, that person must have a death wish! This made it impossible for Lao Ba to forgive himself.

If his other brothers found out, he would definitely be in for a beating.

’Who could be so brazen?’

”I’m fine.”

Tang Mo wanted to explain, but she didn’t have the strength for more than those two words.

Xiao Tao, anxious to get Tang Mo home, paid him no mind and just hurried forward, ignoring him.

Unable to get a clear answer, Lao Ba was frantic but helpless. His only option was to anxiously follow Xiao Tao.

After leaving the training camp, on the way to the Wen Family residence, Tang Mo’s group ran into Lao San, who was wandering the streets while inspecting security.

When Lao San saw how weak his sister-in-law was, he was horrified too.

He asked Lao Ba, but Lao Ba was clueless about what had happened. He asked Xiao Tao, but Xiao Tao had no time for him. He tried to ask his sister-in-law...

’Never mind. Sister-in-law is drenched in sweat and her face is pale. I’d better not bother her.’

Lao San was beside himself with worry but could do nothing. Utterly baffled, all he could do for now was stick close to his sister-in-law’s side, not leaving her for a second.

Along the way, Lao San and Lao Ba ran into many of their own brothers and underlings. Seeing their two bosses anxiously gathered around a semi-conscious woman, they all grew worried too.

Unsure of what to do, and with their bosses staying silent, their only choice was to fall in behind them, protectively escorting Xiao Tao and Tang Mo.

Gradually, the number of people surrounding Tang Mo grew, until they formed a whole procession.

A group of burly, menacing men followed behind them like bodyguards, causing passersby to stare frequently in their direction.

Everyone was thinking the same thing: ’What’s so special about today? Which family’s young lady is this, to deserve protection from so many of the base’s big shots?’

Tang Mo silently covered her face with her hands...

’This is so embarrassing. I’m covered in sweat stains and black grime. Being gawked at like this is just awful.’

Xiao Tao and Jingjing paid no mind to any of this. One cleared the path ahead while the other carried Tang Mo on her back, striding forward with big steps.

The Wen Family residence wasn’t actually that far from the training camp, and with Xiao Tao’s quick pace, they arrived in no time.

At the main gate of the Wen Family home, the guard was startled to see Tang Mo being carried back. He quickly opened the gate to let them in, then went to inform Wen Jianshu and Lin Yi.

Wen Jianshu happened to be home from work today, eating dinner in the living room with Lin Yi. When he heard the report, he rushed outside.

He and Lin Yi reached the entrance just as Xiao Tao came in carrying Tang Mo. Lao San and Lao Ba were still standing at the gate with their men, not yet having left. They were all staring anxiously at their sister-in-law; if this weren’t the Wen Family residence, they would have undoubtedly charged inside to see her.

The sheer size of the entourage startled even Wen Jianshu.

”Momo, what happened?”

Wen Jianshu ignored the men and went straight to check on Tang Mo.

”Uncle Wen, I’m okay. I just trained too hard and passed out.”

By now, Tang Mo had recovered a fair bit and had the strength to speak. Seeing Wen Jianshu’s immediate concern for her warmed her heart.

”Momo, are you alright?” Lin Yi, holding her son, was terrified when she saw her daughter’s condition. She casually set Yangyang on the floor to let him crawl on his own, freeing her hands to feel her daughter’s forehead.

”Mom, I’m fine. Quick, pick up my brother.”

Tang Mo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. On one hand, her heart felt warm; on the other, she felt bad for Yangyang, who was now sitting on the floor looking utterly bewildered, blinking his big eyes at his sister.

”Oh, oh, right. Let’s go inside and talk.”

Only then did Lin Yi realize she had subconsciously plopped her son on the floor. She quickly picked Yangyang up and accompanied Tang Mo inside.

Wen Jianshu, meanwhile, remained outside, staring blankly at the group of men.

Lao San and Lao Ba had just heard their sister-in-law’s explanation. So she had just collapsed from exhaustion after training too hard. And here they were, thinking she was injured. Sheesh.

The group felt a bit awkward standing at someone else’s front gate. Scratching their heads one by one, they took their leave from Wen Jianshu.

They had to hurry back and report this to their boss anyway. After all, everyone knew that when it came to their sister-in-law, there was no such thing as a small matter.

After Tang Mo went to her room, Lin Yi handed Yangyang to Xiao Tao, then helped her daughter into the bathroom for a thorough bath.

”Why are you so filthy? What on earth were you doing?”

Lin Yi used a towel to scrub Tang Mo’s body. The layers of black grime were washed away bit by bit, revealing even more translucent, crystal-clear skin beneath.

Of course, there was nothing to be embarrassed about with her own mother. Tang Mo relaxed and enjoyed having her mom bathe her.

It seemed she hadn’t let her mom help her bathe since she started elementary school.

”Maybe I was training so hard that I expelled all the impurities from my body.”

Tang Mo’s explanation was half-true, half-false. Lin Yi didn’t understand these things, so she naturally believed her completely.

Lin Yi’s Talent was very poor. She was a Life Attribute superpower user, but it wasn’t very useful, so she didn’t focus on cultivation.

Everyone has their own path, and Tang Mo didn’t force her mother to cultivate either.

As long as she herself became strong, it was enough that she could protect her mother.

”Those people who brought you back, they’re Qin Ling’s men, right?”

Lin Yi hadn’t had a chance to speak with them at the time, but since she spent every day at the base, she was quite clear on who belonged to whom.

”So what’s the situation between you and that boy?”

Tang Mo knew what Lin Yi was asking.

Qin Ling’s position in the Qin Family was now secure, and after this recent experience, Tang Mo’s own strength had taken a qualitative leap.

”Mom, what do you think of him?”

A mother knows her own child best. Hearing Tang Mo ask this, Lin Yi instantly understood the situation.

”All I hope is that he treats you well and doesn’t let you suffer any grievances. That’s what’s most important, understand?”

Lin Yi said earnestly. She didn’t need her daughter to marry into some great family; she just hoped for her to be happy in the future. Nothing was more important than that.

”I understand.”

Tang Mo nodded seriously.

The mother and daughter said no more after that. No more words were needed; they both understood what the other meant.

The two of them simply enjoyed this quiet, tender moment.

By the time Tang Mo finished her bath, her body had more or less recovered. She dressed herself and went downstairs to eat.

Maybe it was because her body had been remolded, but she was starving now. She felt like she could eat a whole cow.

Just as Tang Mo was valiantly battling the food on the table, a message from Qin Ling came in.

Qin Ling: [How are you? I’m coming to see you.]
