Chapter 1185 Blood is thicker than water!
Near the suburbs of the imperial capital, there is a small and exquisite villa with a quiet and pleasant surrounding environment.
However, there is a tense atmosphere in this villa.
A young man was standing by the window, pacing anxiously.
He clasped his hands tightly against his chest, his brows furrowed, as if he was under a huge pressure.
Suddenly, a voice came from the sofa: "Jiaxing, sit down."
The voice came from a beautiful woman dressed in noble silk. Although her tone was calm, it revealed an unquestionable majesty from a superior.
Lin Jiaxing's body suddenly paused. He hesitated for a moment, but finally walked obediently to his mother and sat down.
His gaze fell on his mother, and the worry in his eyes became more and more obvious.
"Mom, can this really work?"
Yang Shuhui slowly peeled off the mask, revealing a well-maintained face. She glanced at her son nonchalantly and said:
"Why, you still don't believe in mom's ability?"
Lin Jiaxing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed his words back.
He knew his mother's character. Once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.
"This is kidnapping after all, and this is the daughter of the Four Heavenly Kings."
Lin Jiaxing thought about it and raised his voice slightly, as if he wanted to emphasize the seriousness of the matter.
"What happened to the Four Heavenly Kings?"
Yang Shuhui snorted disapprovingly, "According to seniority, you should call him uncle."
Lin Jiaxing's face turned a little ugly. He knew that there were some complicated relationships between his mother and the Four Heavenly Kings, but he didn't want to get too involved.
"Look at your father. Just because he took some money from his subordinates, this Lin Guochang actually put his own brother in jail. Does he still have any family affection?"
"Mom, they are cousins." Lin Jiaxing tried to explain.
"Shut up! Blood is thicker than water!"
Yang Shuhui suddenly interrupted him.
Lin Jiaxing was left speechless by his mother's words. He lowered his head silently, but was secretly complaining in his heart.
"Shh!"
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared at the window like lightning, so fast that people had almost no time to react.
Seeing this, Yang Shuhui calmly ordered, "Jiaxing, go open the window."
When Lin Jiaxing heard the order, he did not dare to delay at all. He hurriedly walked to the window and reached out to push it open.
As the window opened, the black shadow quickly jumped into the house. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a humanoid Pokémon covered with black hair and shaped like a fox.
This Pokémon was Zoroark. As soon as it entered the room, it walked straight towards Yang Shuhui.
However, when it walked in front of Yang Shuhui, it suddenly hesitated, as if it was a little afraid.
After hesitating for a moment, Zoroark finally half-knelt down and carefully presented Linlin, who was in his arms, to Yang Shuhui.
Yang Shuhui didn't even raise her head, still concentrating on applying cream on her face, as if she didn't notice Zoroark's existence at all.
After a while, Yang Shuhui spoke slowly. Her voice was cold and emotionless. She said, "Kneel down with that leg too."
"So..."
Zoroark was obviously a little embarrassed by Yang Shuhui's request.
It looked at Yang Shuhui for a moment, and finally gritted its teeth and knelt down with difficulty on its other leg. At the same time, it lowered its head and raised Linlin high with both hands, as if it was presenting a precious gift to Yang Shuhui.
At this time, Lin Jiaxing, who had been standing aside, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He walked forward carefully, took the sleeping Linlin from Zoroark's hands, and then whispered to Zoroark:
"You go down first."
When Zoroark heard Lin Jiaxing's words, he stood up as if relieved.
However, it did not leave immediately, but stood there, looking straight at Yang Shuhui, as if waiting for something.
"Don't even think about it!"
Yang Shuhui had a cold smile on her face, and her voice revealed a hint of indifference and disdain.
"You came back so late that I couldn't even get my beauty sleep. I'm letting you down by not punishing you!"
Zoroark was visibly stunned when he heard this.
Although it is of a fairly high level, its specialty is not combat, but stealth.
Ever since Lin Yi took Linlin away from home, Zoroark has been following them quietly.
In order to avoid being discovered, Zoroark always carefully hid out of Lin Yi's sight, patiently waiting for the right opportunity.
Finally, it felt that the opportunity had come and kidnapped Linlin.
However, facing Yang Shuhui's rebuke, Zoroark hesitated.
It closed its eyes tightly, and seemed to be having a fierce ideological struggle in its heart.
After a while, it seemed to have made a decision, turned around resolutely, then jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.
Witnessing this scene, Lin Jiaxing couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"Mom, how on earth did you manage to make this level 70+ Zoroark so obedient?"
In Lin Jiaxing's memory, his mother has always been a very strong person, but she is not a strong trainer.
Therefore, he really couldn't understand how his mother made Zoroark so obedient.
Yang Shuhui raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a smug smile, and said sarcastically:
"You hang out in bars and nightclubs every day. You're so young, but your kidneys are almost weak. Don't you understand this?"
Yang Shuhui's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Lin Jiaxing's heart, making his face turn red and white in an instant.
He felt very embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, saying:
"Well... my cousin's daughter is in our hands now. Is it time to contact my cousin and ask him to release my father?"
"What's the hurry? We must not let Lin Guochang know that we kidnapped his daughter, otherwise he will definitely come directly to our door. Do you think that with your ability, you can defeat the so-called Four Heavenly Kings?"
Yang Shuhui said this with a serious face. She stood up and stretched lazily, as if she was confident about all of this.
Lin Jiaxing held the already sleeping Linlin in his arms and asked hesitantly, "What about this child? We can't just leave him here forever."
Yang Shuhui rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily:
"You are such an idiot! Of course you have to take care of her these days. I don't have that much free time. Ever since your father was arrested, I have been busy like a top every day. How can I have time to take care of this little girl? If I hadn't worked so hard to make money, where would you get the money to squander every day?"
After listening to his mother's words, Lin Jiaxing bit his lips lightly, as if thinking about something.
After a while, he finally said, "But mom, I'm not very good at taking care of children..."
"I don't care if you can take care of it!"
Yang Shuhui interrupted him, "I only ask you not to let her run away these few days, and don't let her get into any accidents. As for the rest, you can handle it yourself."
After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Lin Jiaxing and sat back on the sofa.
Just then, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the room.
Yang Shuhui frowned immediately. Who would come at this time?
She looked at Lin Jiaxing, who understood and quickly shouted:
"Who?"
