Yu Jinxiao froze, a strange thought creeping into his mind.

As unbelievable as it seemed, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Yu Yuanyuan somehow knew what he was planning to do.

Recalling how she had stumbled toward him earlier, he couldn’t help but think that everything was a little too coincidental.

If it were just her being mischievous…

It wouldn’t explain how she happened to climb into the trunk today and then insisted on coming to the beach.

If she weren’t just a three-year-old child, Yu Jinxiao might have seriously considered the possibility that she was some kind of spy.

At first, he had entertained the idea, but after some online searching, he realized that the theory of a “three-year-old spy” was even more ridiculous than believing in fairies.

The two men standing nearby were stunned, and so was the man kneeling on the ground.

Who had just suggested silencing the child’s parents along with her?

“Daddy, don’t do bad things,” the little one said, her eyes red as tears welled up. She leaned her soft, fluffy head against his face, her voice trembling with sobs. “Yuanyuan doesn’t want you to die… Yuanyuan is scared! Waaaah!”

Tears started to fall as she whimpered, but even her crying was soft, as if she were afraid of being a bother, trying her best not to upset him.

She knew if Daddy got angry with her, he wouldn’t listen to her anymore.

Earlier that afternoon, Yu Jinxiao had caught a traitor who had been stealing confidential company files, attempting to sabotage a billion-dollar project they were vying for.

The mastermind was still unknown, but he knew that as long as he held onto this traitor, he could trace the chain and uncover the culprit.

However, Yu Jinxiao had already given him a chance to come clean. The traitor remained tight-lipped, seemingly unafraid of death, refusing to say a word despite the threat hanging over him.

Since he wanted to stay silent, there was no reason to keep him alive any longer.

Especially since the stolen documents had not yet been recovered.

Yu Jinxiao had already ordered a thorough search of the man’s home and office, but they came up empty-handed.

Perhaps the traitor had already handed the files to the mastermind.

Yu Jinxiao didn’t mind fair competition, but using underhanded tactics to provoke him? That was something he couldn’t tolerate.

Tonight’s plan…

Yu Jinxiao had intended to dispose of the man in the sea, sending a clear message to anyone who dared to cross him.

But the firm resolve he had just mustered seemed to waver, like something was silently tugging at him.

He tried to ignore the pleading eyes of the little one, but the more he tried, the harder it became to look away.

The pitiful child looked like she was about to burst into tears, her small lips quivering as if she were holding back an ocean of sorrow.

“…No, Daddy’s just sending Uncle for… a swim,” Yu Jinxiao stammered, struggling to comfort her. “Why don’t you go wait in the car, okay?”

Oh~~ It’s just swimming! But Yuanyuan doesn’t like the water! It’s sticky and uncomfortable.

Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment, her little mind racing, and then signaled that she wanted to be put down.

As soon as her small feet touched the sand, she ran over to the speedboat and grabbed the life ring hanging from the side, her tiny legs pattering back to him.

Grabbing one of Yu Jinxiao’s fingers with her soft little hand, she declared, “Then Yuanyuan and Daddy will swim together!”

Wait, this isn’t the kind of “swim” we were talking about!

“The sea is dark and scary at night. Uncle will be afraid if he goes alone,” Yuanyuan said earnestly, struggling to lift Yu Jinxiao’s hand, but given her small size, lifting it made no difference. “With Daddy and Yuanyuan there, Uncle won’t be scared!!”

Yu Jinxiao’s men looked at each other in confusion.

So… should they continue with the plan to dump the guy in the sea? Or… was it time for a group swim?
