The way the two children gobbled up the food made Jin Beibei's heart itch even more. She could not help but take out the snacks that she had secretly hidden for them. Seeing that they looked like gluttons who had not had food for a long time, Jin Beibei felt both sorry and amused.
While letting the children eat, she asked them about their hometown, their parents, and how they came to the Leo Dock.
There was no telling whether the two children were highly vigilant or just confused, but they could not tell who their parents were or where their hometown was at all.
They did not hide how they came to the Leo Dock. Just as Jin Beibei speculated, they had snuck onto a starship in Fish Dragon City and been brought to this place by the current.
Even though they were two kids who were less than ten years old and were still wet behind the ears, how could they avoid a ship full of crew members who were like wolves and tigers, and how could they pass through the layers of surveillance cameras and mysteriously appear in the depths of the shipyard? This was truly hard to imagine.
However, it was also the only reasonable explanation.
"So to speak, your family is not on the starship docked next to the dock, right?"
Jin Beibei was somewhat troubled. She said worriedly, "This is terrible. What are you going to do next?"
The two children's answers, however, made her feel rather amused.
Xiaoming and Wenwen said that they had not come to the Leo Dock purely by accident but on purpose. They had been planning to find a place in the Dragon Snake Space Zone where they could modify and upgrade starships so that they could get a starship that could perform a super long-distance space jump and find their father.
"That's pure nonsense!"
Seeing that the two children were talking about 'super long-distance space jump' solemnly despite their age, Jin Beibei was truly worried about their future. "Let me tell you. Those who come to the Leo Dock for the maintenance and modification of starships are not good people. You are just two children who have nothing. They will not bother you at all or help you find your father! No. If they are willing to take you with them, it will be even more dangerous. They are probably going to do … something dreadful to you! "
She thought that the two children would be intimidated by her words, but she was greatly surprised by their answers.
"We are not taking other people's starships."
Li Xiaoming said solemnly, "I've seen the starships modified in Sister Beibei's shipyard. They are too lousy. They will disintegrate after a few super remote space jumps."
"Fortunately, there are plenty of materials and accessories here."
Li Wenwen began to talk nonsense, too. "The starships that came here for maintenance carried tremendous fuel and resources, too. They were more or less enough for us to upgrade a starship ourselves."
"You … want to modify and upgrade the starship yourselves?"
Jin Beibei was dumbfounded. She could not imagine what kind of greenhouse the two little fellows had been raised in to grow up to be so … 'innocent and pure'.
Leaving the technology and cost of the modification and upgrade of the starships aside, the starships docked in the Leo Docks right now were probably carrying desperadoes who were in a hurry to escape. Who would sell fuel and resources to two little fellows however rich they were?
If the two little guys really had something priceless on them, they would definitely be killed and thrown into the high-energy reactor. Even if their father was the king of heaven, what could he do?
"You — you must not do anything reckless!"
Jin Beibei said, somewhat at a loss, "Sister Beibei will help you figure out a solution. I don't know what to do, but your idea is definitely not going to work. How can it be so simple? Not to mention that the starships docked here will not sell the precious fuel and resources to you, even the owner of the shipyard will …"
"Sell?"
The two little fellows looked at each other and shook their heads with the most innocent smiles on their faces. "We didn't say that we would buy them. We don't have the money."
"Well …"
Jin Beibei was completely defeated by the two little fellows. She wandered for a long time in the warehouse of solder materials before she focused her attention on the little fellows' parents. "Don't you have any contact information for your parents? Maybe Sister Beibei can help you reach out to them first. It will be easier if they are influential."
"We do have our mother's contact information, but it is very dangerous to contact her, and we may be discovered. We are too weak to be discovered," Li Xiaoming said in a childish voice.
"Dad has gone to a place very, very far away. We can't reach him right now. We want to go to him directly."
Jin Beibei asked, "Where is your father? What is he going to do?"
Li Xiaoming ignored the first question and answered the second one directly. "Our father is going to find his father."
"Dad's father … Then, it's your grandfather. Doesn't your grandfather live with you? Why is your father going to find your grandfather?"
Jin Beibei scratched her head. She wondered if it involved the complicated grudges of the noble families, such as the acknowledgment of the ancestors. What a headache!
"Dad's father. Well, he is sort of our 'grandfather', isn't he?"
The two weird little fellows tilted their heads and thought for a long time before they realized the obvious question. The little girl licked the cake crumbs on her lips and said, "We don't know why our father is going to find our grandfather, but they don't seem to be in a good relationship. We just want to observe how our father is going to treat our grandfather."
"Right, Sister Beibei."
With cream all over his mouth, Li Xiaoming suddenly asked, "We don't know how we should treat our father, so we want to see how our father treats our grandfather. Then, we will adopt the same pattern. It's like … 'Let's see how our father treats our grandfather'. Do you think it makes sense?"
Jin Beibei couldn't help but chuckle. "Let's see how our father treats our grandfather. That's not the right way to describe it. However, it's quite right, isn't it? If your father is nice to your grandfather, you should be nice to your father, and if your father is not nice to your grandfather, you should find a way to teach your father a lesson so that he can be nicer to your grandfather."
Jin Beibei had a very responsible father. The two of them drifted in the sea of stars and relied on each other. They were very close.
From what the children had said just now, she had already sketched in her mind an image of a sloppy, irresponsible and bad-tempered father, and a mother who was busy with work, indifferent by nature, and disregarded her children for career or power.
She couldn't help but feel disdain for the parents whose names she did not know.
"If our father is nice to our grandfather, we will be nice to our father. If our father is not nice to our grandfather, we will not be nice to our father. That does make sense!"
Li Xiaoming seemed to be greatly enlightened. Thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Then, what if our father kills our grandfather? Can we kill our father, too? "
"What?"
Jin Beibei was stunned again. She found it hard to believe her ears, and it was even harder for her to understand the calm killing intent hidden in the childish words.
"Wait. It might not be our father who kills our grandfather. Maybe our grandfather will kill our father."
While eating the cake, the little girl Wenwen said casually, "I think our grandfather is better, and the odds of our grandfather killing our father are higher."
What kind of messy family was this?!
Jin Beibei was completely confused.
In such a lawless place as the Dragon Snake Space Zone, she had seen too many ferocious and inhumane things.
Even if she had not seen them with her own eyes, they were all over the news every day!
However, no matter how crazy a person was, he wouldn't talk about things like killing his own son and killing his own father so casually, right?
Looking at the two innocent children who were eating the cream cake and drinking the sweet milk, with the milk stains on the tip of their nose and the corner of their mouth, they couldn't have looked more adorable. Yet, they were talking about such inhumane things. It was truly …
Looking at the children's glittering eyes, Jin Beibei vaguely had a feeling that they were not ignorant of everything but deeply understood every word that she just said. It was really possible that they could kill their father!
"How — how can you do that?"
Blushing, Jin Beibei's heart was pounding. She said at a loss, "How can we kill our father?"
"Give him a taste of his own medicine. If our father really killed his father, it would be perfectly justified for him to be killed by his own children. There's nothing to complain about, right?"
Li Xiaoming extended his tongue and licked the milk on the wall of the cup. "Besides, even if we don't want to kill our father, chances are that our father will want to kill us, won't he?"
"Yes. Not just our father, maybe even our grandpa wants to kill us."
Wenwen also said, "I even vaguely have a feeling that our grandpa wanted to kill our father to prevent us from being born because he was scared that our father would give birth to us.
"If that's the case, maybe both our grandpa and our father want to kill us. Then, we have to consider killing both of them. Although we are weak, we can't just sit here and wait for them to kill us. Don't you think so, Sister Beibei?"
The boy and the girl smiled sweetly at the same time.
Their smiles, in Jin Beibei's eyes, were even more hideous than the devils in the deepest level of hell.
Jin Beibei's veins were almost frozen. She did not dare to imagine what kind of monsters she had provoked at all. She asked in fear, "What … what kind of family is this exactly?"
"A very ordinary family."
Li Xiaoming opened his hands. "Isn't everybody in the universe the same?"
Jin Beibei really did not want to stay with the two little devils any longer.
She would rather go to the maintenance workshops to face the strong, obscene, and stinky men than to face the two "innocent and harmless" little things.
However, the moment she opened the gate of the warehouse of solders, a deafening explosion burst out outside.
The battle cries and screams were like a thunderstorm on a summer afternoon, crashing down on their heads.
