Chapter 472: Chapter 229: Intelligence Is a Hard Handicap
One of the Little Bear’s special moves, acting cute and charming! Utilizing his innate advantage to push cuteness to the limit, as his brother would say, a child who can’t act cute won’t get any candy. Of course, Huaixi wouldn’t go around acting cute just for a few candies; that would undermine his dignity as an older brother.
"Do I look like a bad person?" Su Qinwu tried to pull off a gentle smile, making Huaixi mentally twitch. This weirdo not only looked like a bad person, but the big seven words on her face also read—Old Lady is a Human Trafficker!
"You bullied Qianhe before... and bullied Qianhe’s uncle too, definitely not a good person..." Huaixi suddenly admired his Little Bear sibling, selling cuteness and innocence really did require profound skill, experience, and talent, something he couldn’t master. "I won’t go with you... unless, unless my mom and dad say you’re a good person, then I’ll agree..."
Su Qinwu had a sly smile at the corner of her mouth, and Huaixi reluctantly asked, "If I go with you, can I really get a lot of things? Even the latest model of the Mecha, can I get that? The one on TV, really big, big, big, blue one..."
Sure enough, a truly naive little brat, so young but already quite greedy. Su Qinwu snorted disdainfully, then nodded, "Of course, you can have as many as you want. But... where are your mom and dad?"
Huaixi proudly and earnestly said, "Of course they work at the Military Department, they’re really awesome. Mom said yesterday that the thing on Dad’s shoulder can get promoted another level, and she’ll be a Captain’s wife soon... Auntie, you know what a Captain is, right?"
Su Qinwu’s expression suddenly changed, not daring to believe that this child was born into a military family and his father was a Captain... If that’s the case, it’s going to be difficult. Although she wasn’t raised in such a family, she knew that people with high ranks protect their offspring very closely, and if anything happened to the child, the parents would know immediately!
It seems that forcibly taking him away is impossible. A thought crossed her mind, and Su Qinwu gave up on the idea of using force. In her view, a four to five-year-old kid is still just that age, how smart can they be? Let alone play mind games or deceive her!
In the end, Huaixi’s little face was too deceptive, making Su Qinwu subconsciously treat Huaixi as an immature child instead of a very assertive little man. Changxi usually treated Huaixi as an adult, teaching him things beyond what someone his age would normally encounter... So underestimating any little bun is bound to cost you.
"Of course, I know, your dad is really awesome."
Su Qinwu maintained her expression, unwilling to easily miss such a good seedling. Although she knew there was no shortage of talent in the future, most of them came from established backgrounds and families, so her ability to recruit was limited, many still being on other planets...
The Human Alliance is vast, naturally not having just a few talents. There are many talents, and all the students at the Xilena First Affiliated School could be considered among them, but only a few become famous. Not because they lack talent or strength, but because they can’t survive to shine, either falling early or dying tragically at the hands of the Insect Race!
Currently severely lacking talent resources, Su Qinwu is naturally "eager for talent"! Huaixi is a potential stock; she felt it would be a pity to let him go. After some thought, she decided it would be better to coax this child out! Best if she could coax him into removing the tracking protection device, so there’d be no worry about the parents hunting her down after abducting the child.
"Well, Dad also said that when I grow up, he’ll let me pilot his Mecha." Huaixi looked full of admiration, although he was actually admiring his idol—Uncle Gu Ningxuan, wondering when Uncle Ningxuan would return. He had always been waiting for the day he’d become a dad, "Dad’s Mecha is very pretty and very powerful!"
Su Qinwu froze with her smile, steering the conversation back to abduction, eventually confirming a fact—the child indeed has a protective tracking device, but the key to unlock it is with his mom. Su Qinwu promised all sorts of benefits, trying to align with Huaixi’s "interests," and eventually... this dumb kid was easily tricked into agreeing to steal the key...
"Since that’s the case, then we have a deal." Su Qinwu extended her pinky to hook with Huaixi in an immature stamp agreement. Of course, little Huaixi was quite sneaky, leaving a telekinetic remnant on her finger during this contact...
"Hmm, Auntie, make sure to have Huaixi’s favorite Mecha ready!" The little guy clenched his fist, face full of anticipation, his cute watery dark eyes seemed to twinkle with adoration, making the opposite party even more fond of him.
"Alright, Auntie will definitely prepare what Huaixi likes." Su Qinwu, having achieved her goal, smirked inwardly.
She cast a cold eye at Qianhe’s uncle—the man who was almost ruined, and at Qianhe herself glaring at her with hate, feeling even more pleased. The more achievements and glory that Qianhe obtained in the previous life, the more pleased Su Qinwu was.
So what about the Valkyrie? What about the iron rose of the Alliance? They’re just pathetic dogs crawling at her feet!
Considering Huaixi’s presence and the fact that quite a bit of time had been wasted on this trip, taking Qianhe was not feasible, so she’d have to come back next time.
Even though she hadn’t taken Qianhe, her target this time, Su Qinwu felt she had gained a lot. Once she’d left quite far, the silent Qianhe turned her eyes to Huaixi, opening her mouth, hesitatingly asking, "Little sister, you’re... really going with her, she really is a bad person... a big villain who hurt Uncle..."
Huaixi threw her a sidelong glance, "Do you even believe that kind of talk meant for kids?"
