Different World Card Master: Change the World with Cards

45: All captured“Run out the back.”

Their leader, Quan Guangde, knew they had been discovered. Unfortunately, they had been too overconfident, believing they had already dragged the Wang family into trouble and wouldn’t be found, which was why they had hidden in the Wang family’s shop.

Quan Guangde kicked open the back door and fled.

His three subordinates also fled with their leader.

Just as they rounded a corner, a line of Guard Team members blocked their path.

“Drop your weapons,” Meng Zhong shouted, holding his gun.

As if knowing the tide had turned against him, Quan Guangde dropped his gun.

Seeing their leader surrender, the three subordinates also dropped their guns, clasped their heads, and squatted down.

Meng Zhong waved his hand, and four Guard Team members stepped forward to handcuff the four men.

With these people captured, the day’s events were mostly concluded. Meng Zhong allowed some of the Guard Team to return and rest, while the others continued to interrogate the newly captured individuals.

That night, Xu Le still cried from the fright he experienced during the day.

“Waaah… Brother… waaah… Brother… Brother.”

As soon as he started crying, Xu Bai heard him.

Looking over, he saw Xu Le tossing and turning in bed, his small blanket accidentally kicked onto the floor.

Xu Bai picked up Xu Le, pulled back the blanket, and got out of bed.

Although there was candlelight, the illuminated area was quite small. He accidentally bumped into the chair beside him, and Xu Bai gasped in pain.

Damn it!

“Lele, don’t cry, don’t cry. Brother is here.”

Xu Bai soothed him while patting Xu Le’s back.

Hearing his brother’s voice, Xu Le opened his eyes. Seeing a loved one nearby, his crying softened, and he spoke to his brother.

“Brother, boom… waaah… boom, boom… Brother… waaah.”

Listening to Xu Le’s words, the scene from that afternoon resurfaced in Xu Bai’s mind. The sound of the explosion still buzzed in Xu Bai’s ears.

“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. It’s over. Listen, it’s gone now, right?”

He held Xu Le and rocked him constantly, trying to alleviate Xu Le’s tension. Once Xu Le was less tense, his crying gradually subsided.

Only then did Xu Bai breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Bai touched Xu Le’s forehead. Why did it feel a little warm? But it might just be from the heat.

He pulled out a tissue and wiped away the sweat from Xu Le’s body. If he didn’t wipe it dry, he would easily catch a cold.

“Look, there are stars over there. Are the stars pretty? Papa and Mama are watching you from the stars, Lele.”

“Papa… Mama… stars?” As if drawn by Xu Bai’s words, Xu Le followed Xu Bai’s finger and looked over.

“Yes, Papa and Mama are on the stars. They are protecting Lele from up there…”

Listening to his brother Xu Bai’s words, Xu Le’s crying gradually stopped.

Following Xu Bai’s rocking motion, Xu Le slowly fell asleep again.

Xu Le’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier. After Xu Le had been coaxed to sleep, and some more time passed, only then did he feel relieved enough to put Xu Le back in bed.

Xu Bai dampened a towel and wiped Xu Le’s face.

Everyone who cried at night knew that if they didn’t wipe away their tears, their eyes would be crusted with sleep in the morning.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai couldn’t help but smile.

However, he was still very conscious not to make a sound, as getting a child to sleep was not easy.

Afterward, Xu Bai needed to wipe the sweat from his own body; he had just moved so much that he was covered in sweat.

Before going to sleep, Xu Bai touched Xu Le’s forehead. No fever, thankfully.

A wave of sleepiness washed over him, and Xu Bai didn’t resist, closing his eyes.
