The old father had no doubt about his daughter's words. He told his secretary to call all the employees back to their workstations, and then had Supervisor Yan brought to his office.
Supervisor Yan had no idea what Yu Shanhe wanted to do. At first, she hesitated and didn't want to go. Finally, the secretary said in a tough tone that they suspected there were company secrets hidden in the things she was about to take away. Only then did she give in. She was about to pack up and leave anyway. She couldn't add the charge of stealing company secrets on top of that. That could land her in jail.
When she arrived at Yu Shanhe's office, facing the boss who was no longer her superior, Supervisor Yan seemed less afraid. She didn't hide her dissatisfaction and resentment at all. She said in a huff, "What else does Boss Yu want from me?"
Yu Shanhe ignored her. She was just a clown, a grasshopper after the autumn frost, all bluster and no substance.
"Baby, do you see anything?" Yu Shanhe lowered his head and asked the little dumpling in his arms.
At this moment, the little dumpling was carefully sizing up Supervisor Yan. Her clear eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. Supervisor Yan just felt a chill run down her spine. She felt uncomfortable all over. She disliked Niannian even more.
After a long while, Niannian finally shifted her gaze. She wiggled her little bottom and said to Yu Shanhe, "Dad, put me down."
Yu Shanhe was confused, but he still let go and let the little dumpling down.
After Niannian got down, she walked straight up to Supervisor Yan without saying a word. She reached out and grabbed the other's sleeve. With a tearing sound, she ripped off the entire right sleeve of Supervisor Yan's shirt.
"Ah!"
No one had expected Niannian's action. Even Supervisor Yan, who had been on guard, was caught off guard. She let out a scream and instinctively waved her hand towards Niannian's face.
Yu Shanhe was so scared that he stood up immediately. He saw the little dumpling take two small steps back and easily dodge the slap.
"What does this mean, Boss Yu? Even if I said a few words about your daughter before, it's not necessary to let this brat humiliate me like this, right?!"
Supervisor Yan was absolutely furious. She glared at Yu Shanhe with wide - open eyes, demanding an explanation.
Yu Shanhe rubbed his nose awkwardly. This... His daughter's actions were indeed a bit inappropriate. But it didn't matter. His daughter must have her reasons for doing this!
"Miss Yan, don't be in a hurry. I'll have my assistant go to the mall and buy you a new dress later. For now, just listen to what my daughter has to say."
Yu Shanhe was determined to be his daughter's strongest support. It was as if he was saying, even if his daughter was a naughty kid, he would spoil her to the end.
Yan Li was so angry that she was fuming, but there was nothing she could do. She could only sit back down in her seat resentfully.
"Auntie, when did you get that tattoo?"
Niannian didn't care about the conversation between the adults. At this moment, all her attention was on the tattoo on Yan Li's arm.
The tattoo was very special. There was a red straight line from the top of the arm to the elbow. This red line ran through a pattern. The pattern itself had a kind of seductive beauty, and it was made up of countless tiny characters. These tiny characters didn't belong to the language of any country, nor to the ancient texts of any dynasty. People who didn't know about it would never recognize these characters. Even if they saw them, they would only think that the tiny characters were very delicate and mysterious.
But Niannian recognized them. This was the exclusive incantation of the Southern Border Witchcraft Clan. She roughly sorted out the content of the text. She was sure that the text expressed a curse. Cursing others by tattooing on a living person was such a unique curse method.
"It's none of your business!"
Yan Li rolled her eyes and didn't intend to answer the question. She instinctively reached out to touch her arm, trying to block Niannian's sight.
"Alright, since auntie doesn't want to talk about it, I'll just break the curse directly."
Niannian was just curious about the origin of the tattoo. After all, Yan Li couldn't possibly be a person from the mysterious sect. Breaking this curse would definitely cause a backlash to the caster. The reason she thought the curse was unique was that the caster had used the tattoo to transfer the backlash to Yan Li as well.
The little dumpling didn't understand the complicated affairs among adults. She was just a child who could make a few associations. In Niannian's mind, the auntie was carrying the curse around her father's company all day long, affecting her father's fortune and future. And she was unwilling to tell the origin of the tattoo. She must have something to hide. Her master said that people who had done nothing wrong would be open and above - board. If they weren't, there must be something wrong with them. Since the auntie was stubborn and wanted to help the caster hide the truth, she must be the caster's accomplice. Then, the backlash on her was just a matter of cause and effect.
The little dumpling didn't even consider other situations like coercion, inducement, or deception. She was just a little girl. She wouldn't engage in conspiracy theories.
Yan Li didn't understand what Niannian was saying at all. She had indeed gotten this tattoo as instructed by someone else, and she had even received a windfall for it. But she really didn't know the purpose of the tattoo. In order not to let others see the tattoo, she wore long - sleeved clothes even in summer.
"Are you crazy?"
Supervisor Yan glared at the dumpling and got up to leave. She didn't care about the boss anymore. She couldn't stand staying in this lousy company for another second.
Niannian didn't stop her, so Yu Shanhe didn't move either.
The little dumpling took out a mini peach - wood sword from her bag. She picked up the hair that Yan Li had left on the stool and wrapped it around the sword. Then she closed her eyes, brought two fingers of her right hand together, and whispered an incantation.
Yu Shanhe was stunned by his little daughter once again. His daughter never left her satchel. She even put it beside her when she slept. He had only thought that the satchel had some commemorative significance and had never asked about it. Today, he found out that the satchel was a treasure!
Although the peach - wood sword in his little daughter's hand was a mini version, it was still half a meter long. The satchel looked like an ordinary schoolbag. How could such a long peach - wood sword fit into it? A Qiankun bag? A spatial treasure? Or...
Just as the old father was staring intently at the satchel, the peach - wood sword in the little dumpling's hand suddenly burst into flames. Unlike ordinary red flames, the fire on the peach - wood sword was actually golden.
Just as Yan Li grabbed the doorknob, Niannian twisted her wrist in the air and made a beautiful sword flower from top to bottom towards her back.
Yan Li let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground. She twitched all over and foamed at the mouth, as if she was having an epileptic seizure.
At the same time, wisps of black air emerged from the tattoo on Yan Li's arm. The black air quickly formed a dark shadow, which rushed straight towards Niannian after it condensed.
Yu Shanhe instinctively felt that the dark shadow was not a good thing. He inexplicably thought of the terrifying ghost he had seen that night and instinctively wanted to rush forward to protect his daughter.
Facts proved that the little dumpling was extremely powerful. He could only be the man behind his daughter.
The little dumpling's expression remained unchanged. She held the sword with one hand and quickly waved her arm. With a beautiful back - slash, the dark shadow was directly split in two and disappeared without a trace.
Yu Shanhe looked at his daughter's back and suddenly felt as if he was seeing a hermit master or a hidden hero.
Tsk... His daughter was so cool. She was cooler than him, his dad. What should he do? Waiting online. It's urgent.
