"I see."
Looking at the children's expression, Old Master Nan knew that they didn't plan on leaking the truth of that name list because they couldn't explain how they got it. It was not like they couldn't, but if they said the truth, Dark Moon Organization would be latched onto their tails.
Even if they washed themselves in the Yellow River, it was impossible for them to wash this away once it was revealed.
Nan Family would be subjected to even more critique.
"How are you going to cover it up, Grandpa?" Nan Luo asked in a pitiful tone.
Old Master Nan's lips twitched when he saw his grandson acting like that. He had the feeling that he would like it very much if he could punish Nan Luo once more. It was unfortunate that his little grandson was wounded.
"It's not going to be leaked." Old Master Nan waved his hand. "I'll just say that you manage to convince the soldiers one way or another."
"Alright."
"That didn't sound bad, Grandpa."
Feng Ao Kuai nodded. He also knew that from the moment he used that name list, he would be put into questioning repeatedly. It was not like he wanted to let things happen this way, but the situation forced him to do it.
He glanced in Nan Hua's direction. However, he could see that she was lowering her head and focused on staring at the food. It was as if the conversation here didn't have any relation whatsoever with her.
'Fine.'
Since she didn't want to tell, he would not pester her.
Thus, Feng Ao Kuai also stayed silent.
Old Master Nan asked about some matter regarding their escape and also plan. Upon hearing that Nan Hua had somehow got a body double for herself, he was a bit speechless. It seemed that his granddaughter was getting further and further away from him like this.
"Hua'er."
Nan Hua raised her head. "Yes, Grandfather."
"Come over here."
Seeing her grandfather beckoning for her to come closer, Nan Hua blinked her eyes. It was the same gesture as the one he did in the past when he wanted Nan Hua to sit on his lap. However, Nan Hua was no longer the same little girl.
She was almost 13 years old.
Old Master Nan continued to plead with his eyes, making Nan Hua unable to refuse. Ever since she accepted them as her family members, she had been trying so hard to make sure that she could get close. It was awkward for her, but Nan Hua accepted it when her grandfather wanted to hug her, pat her, or even carry her.
Slowly but surely, Nan Hua jumped down from her chair and walked towards Old Master Nan.
Comparing her height with Old Master Nan, the difference was still very big. It was because Old Master Nan was also tall and muscular while Nan Hua was lean even though she was also quite powerful.
