“Or we could invite Longting to come to Guancheng to play.”
Lu Dongming was already thinking about the next time the two kids could meet.
Hailing said, “If we invite Longting to come here, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to protect him properly. If something happened, we couldn’t bear the responsibility. It’s better to send Yangyang to A City to play with him.”
“Longting’s grandmaster uncles have set up an excellent protection network in A City, ensuring his safety so thoroughly that his enemies don’t even have a chance to confirm his whereabouts.”
She admitted she didn’t have the ability to keep Longting completely safe.
Longting was the sole survivor of his entire family, his life preserved by the sacrifice of several nannies. Now, he lived freely, though his studies were tough and tiring. Everyone tried to give him a happy childhood, but behind the scenes, many people silently protected him.
Once he left that protective circle, there was a risk of danger.
That risk was too great, and Hailing didn’t dare take it.
The last time Ye Junbo and his wife brought their children to Guancheng, they only stayed for two or three days before hurriedly leaving. They didn’t dare linger too long, fearing they might expose Longting’s whereabouts and attract his enemies.
That child was unfortunate, suffering the tragedy of his family being wiped out at such a young age, leaving him as the only survivor.
But he was also lucky.
He was taken in by Mu Qing and her husband, who adopted him as their own son and treated him like their biological child.
He also caught the eye of Cheng Lingling, who took him as her disciple, giving him a group of formidable grandmaster uncles who raised and taught him. It would be hard for him not to succeed.
Of course, it was precisely because of those powerful figures protecting him that Longting could enjoy the happy childhood of an ordinary child.
Otherwise, constantly worrying about being killed and living as a fugitive from a young age would have robbed him of any childhood joy.
After thinking it over, Lu Dongming said, “You’re right. In that case, we’ll go with Yangyang to the Jun family.”
“When Yangyang plays with Longting, could he be targeted by Longting’s enemies? But there’s no need to worry. We’re protecting Yangyang too, and not many people in the outside world have seen him in person.”
Ever since Haitong married into the Zhan family and became the eldest young mistress, she had been very careful about protecting her nephew.
Fortunately, Yangyang was only Haitong’s nephew and hadn’t faced too much disturbance. The media occasionally snapped photos but didn’t dare to publish them carelessly.
The kindergarten he attended was the most prestigious in the city, with excellent protection for the children.
Still, Longting’s enemies were formidable, which was why Lu Dongming mentioned it.
“Even if Longting’s enemies might target Yangyang, they wouldn’t dare act rashly. Yangyang has the backing of several of our families.”
Lu Dongming said this to reassure Hailing, in case she was worried.
Hailing nodded, “It should be fine. My son and I aren’t the same mother and son from two years ago. Anyone who wants to harm us would have to think twice.”
After a pause, she continued, “Longting and Yangyang get along well. I think Zhanyin intends for the two boys to grow up together and become lifelong friends, and the Jun family feels the same. Truthfully, Yangyang becoming friends with Longting is more beneficial than harmful.”
The powerful figures behind Longting weren’t people just anyone could connect with.
It wasn’t just about those elderly masters but also the mysterious figures of Cheng Lingling’s generation, whose influence was so vast that Zhanyin said even the Su family couldn’t fully gauge their reach.
