Chapter 143: The Beautiful Girl's Birthday (Part 1)

  That night, Mu Yan got the news from Jia Jia that Su Zihao was staying in a certain apartment building belonging to the Snake Head gang in Gangwan.

  He Yuting discussed it with each other and decided to check out the situation during the day and take action at night.

  The task of reconnaissance was left to Feng Yuting, and the next day, because it was Xue Li's birthday, Mu Yan did not leave the church, but instead prepared to accompany Xue Li through this extremely important day.

  The church holds a birthday party for every child when they turn sixteen.

  Because here, sixteen represents adulthood and independence is a must.

  The mother will prepare a sumptuous dinner and birthday cake, but when blowing out the birthday candles, she must make a decision to stay or leave.

  Choose to leave and the church will no longer provide protection. The next day, you'll only get a moderate amount of money and a gun besides a change of clothes before leaving this place.

  Choose to stay, then you need to listen to the arrangement of the church, serve as a member of this force in the church, and cannot choose to leave the church within at least five years, otherwise you will be treated as a traitor.

  Both options have their benefits, the former allows you to venture out on your own and even leave this place, opening up a new world for yourself. The latter is relatively more stable, although you have to follow orders, as long as the organization doesn't collapse, living under its umbrella in this place is still relatively secure. Of course, if someone like Li Junjie appears at a time and place where he shouldn't be, that's just asking for trouble.

  In preparation for Shirley's birthday, after breakfast in the morning, all the slightly older children went out to work busily at the church. Although Grandma protected the safety of these children, even they needed to labor to earn their own fruits and other items.

  At this time, the children all went into the fields to pick the freshest vegetables and fruits. In the mountains, there were wild game like pheasants, which were normally off-limits for hunting, but on special days like today, permission would be granted. However, it was not the children who went, but rather the so-called pastors and nuns from the church. Of course, if the birthday boy was a male, he had to go, using the hunted game to show that he had come of age.

  Sometimes the sound of gunfire would ring out, and each shot meant that there might be a delicious game dish on the dinner table that night, so at this time, for the vast majority of children, the more gunshots, the better.

  Mu Yan rarely had such a gathering, so he went hunting in the mountains with Li Junjie and others.

  Those who can live in the harbor are not ordinary people. In just half a day, these few hunters have already caught quite a few prey.

  After returning with a full load of game, the women immediately took over the catch with smiles, and then they would spend the whole afternoon turning these catches into delicious dishes on the dinner table. The children who saw so many catches were also exceptionally excited, without being told by adults, began to do what they could do.

  Compared to boys, if the birthday protagonist is a girl, she will personally come to the kitchen, where she will make her own birthday cake by herself and can only get guidance from others, but cannot let others help.

  Sherry is kneading flour right here.

  When Mù Yán saw her, the angelic face had a lot of flour on it, and while she was rubbing it, she would also unconsciously touch her delicate nose, and the flour on her cheeks would stick to it as well. However, every time she rubbed her nose, Mù Yán felt especially adorable watching from the side.

  Recalling the scene where she pointed a gun at Carlos yesterday without any fear, Mu Yan let out a sigh in his heart. Indeed, the environment shapes the person. He remembered that he had rescued Shirley by chance back then, and her parents had been kidnapped. But unexpectedly, Shirley, who was supposed to be a rich young lady, now seemed more like an unconventional cold-blooded killer.

  Now Mu Yan had completely understood that when he went to find the Red Scorpion, why the big man who opened the door for him was so afraid of Xue Li. It was obvious that Xue Li must have done something astonishing in this place before, otherwise it would be impossible to make these ruthless thugs afraid in Gangwan.

  Although Mu Yan was very curious, Sherry seemed unwilling to say anything, and he didn't want to ask either, fearing that if he knew the truth, it would completely destroy the pure and angel-like image of the girl in front of him. Although Mu Yan knew that this girl was not an angel at all.

  What I learned from Grandma, Sherry is very smart and can learn almost anything quickly. In order to give Sherry a good education, Grandma even hired a professional business spy from the harbor to teach her for a whole year.

  Because in a port like this where rascals from all over the world gather, the language here is also extremely rich. According to Auntie's account, Shirley can at least fluently use Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, German and Arabic, she is simply a language genius.

  Mù Yán had never thought that he would unintentionally save such a clever and resourceful little girl.

  After a while, Mu Yan noticed Sherry's completely devoted appearance and stopped looking at her, fearing that he had reached the top of the church tower.

  From here, you can directly overlook the entire bay. Under the sunset, the orange-red seawater hits the coast, and the ships on the sea surface slowly move towards the harbor. The small town built against the coast is particularly beautiful under such a beautiful background.

  Who would have thought that such a beautiful place would be a gathering place for rascals from all over the world?

  The dinner was sumptuous, and the prepared dishes were so numerous that even the long table where everyone sat together to eat was almost not enough. As today's protagonist, Sherry naturally became the star of the show.

  According to the church's custom, before this dinner today, everyone who dined here would give the protagonist a blessing.

  Blessings start with the children.

  Although living in a bay such a place, but the children are after all very young, sent up blessings mostly "wishing Sherry sister health and happiness, happiness, beauty and so on", of course, there are also slightly older children wishing Sherry to find a good man, however, when hearing such blessings, Sherry subconsciously took a glance at Mu Yan.

  Mu Yan could only respond with a smile to the gaze she gave him, after all, for a sixteen-year-old girl today, he really wouldn't have any thoughts about her, although she was pretty enough.

  Most adults knew that Sherry wanted to get married immediately, and many of them wished her a normal life, even Grandma wished her a good life under the sun.

  Finally, it was Mu Yan's turn to walk up to her. Sherry looked at Mu Yan with a hint of inexplicable expectation in her eyes.
