Qin Shuli, Yu Zecheng, and Cuiping exchanged silent, incredulous glances. Who said Ma Kui was all muscle and no brain? He certainly had plenty of ideas.
Having a child move into Yu Zecheng’s home would undoubtedly be inconvenient. Every move Yu and his wife made would be under scrutiny; what if the boy had a loose tongue and spilled something to Ma Kui? Yu Zecheng’s vigilance toward Ma Kui sharpened, and his dissatisfaction with the person sent by the organization deepened. What kind of person was this, showing up out of nowhere with a child in tow? What were they thinking?
Cuiping was equally uncomfortable. With a child of unknown origin living with them, what if their cover was blown? Yet, she couldn't bring herself to just abandon Qin Shuli on the street. Ma Kui might be a brute, but what he said was true: in these times, a good-looking child could go missing at any moment.
