The little felt extremely uncomfortable. His small body was carried in mommy Lita's arms, and he continuously trembled.
It could be seen that the little fellow didn't want to shoot her own father with a crossbow; it was just that she was too panicked that Alex would take her mother with him.
A child who lacked fatherly love would have an even stronger attachment to his mommy, Lita.
In the final analysis, it was Alex's father who had failed to fulfill his duty as a father.
What was Alex doing now?
How could he force a five-year-old child who didn't hurt his own father to do such a cruel and bloody thing?
Alex looked at the little fellow with gentle eyes.
From the beginning to the end, he did not show the slightest reproach. The children's world was pure and innocent.
Alex took two steps back, giving his son Lin enough psychological security distance. He seemed to want to tell his son Lin: "You and mommy are safe now!"
Alex looked at Lita as a reminder, as well as a plea. "This is an opportunity to put Riverside Town in place. Why do you want to retreat?"
Even if Captain Jian and he could not use force to take the mother and son away from the Henry, at least they could wait for reinforcements to arrive.
To deal with such a powerful person as Henry, he must have a good foundation and a good reputation.
But now, Captain Jian had no reason to call for reinforcements!
Because what Lita had said was: She was not locked up in the Henry or placed under house arrest, but she was willing to live in this shallow water bay.
Even if Alex had already taken out his marriage certificate, it was still of no use!
Lita avoided Alex's gaze.
What kind of status would she and her son, Lin, have to go back to the Selmy Family and return to Alex's side?
An ex-wife? What a joke!
Even more ironic!
It wasn't that Lita didn't want to escape from Shallow Water Bay.
She also wanted to set herself and her son, Lin, free!
But his son, Lin, was not willing to leave the riverside because he had feelings for the Henry. Also, after leaving the riverside, with his current ability, he could not provide his son, Lin, with a free and safe growing environment.
Under the coveted gaze of Yen, where could the mother and son go to find a place to stay?
Of course, there were also two women fighting against each other, both in the open and in secret.
Lita knew very well that Lin would not let this matter rest so easily!
Lita refused to say that she lived in Shallow Water Bay because she was coerced by the Henry, and Captain Jian could do nothing about it.
At best, it could only be: Alex quarreled with Lita, and his wife would live in the Henry if she was not happy. Let alone a case, it was not even a civil dispute. At most, it was a family contradiction.
"That Mr. Selmy, it's getting late, let's go back. We won't disturb Mr. Henry rest."
At this point, the longer he stayed at the Shallow Water Bay, the more unfavorable it was to Alex. Not only Finn, but even Captain Jian himself would not be able to afford it.
"Don't leave in a hurry! Captain Jian brought people to come to your humble abode. I have to greet you, at least. I'm just a commoner. I'm living, eating, drinking, and living in Lisbon. I have to look up to you, Captain Jian! So that I can have a safe meal for you!"
The humbler Henry's words were, the sharper the effect would be.
How could he, a small vice-captain of the Criminal Police Brigade, break into his City's territory and lead his men to break in?
Jian face changed slightly. "Mr. Henry, you're too modest. It's me who disturbed your peace. But if someone calls the police, I have to deal with it, right? The food in the yamen is not good!"
Captain Jian began to complain. He was even more humble than the Henry when he was 'modest' in the Henry.
Captain Jian was forced here by Alex.
Thinking that Alex was a long-term guest of Lisbon and the River Town was just a passer-by, Captain Jian forced himself to agree.
At the stalemate, the sound of fighting and arguing came from outside the door of the villa.
Three minutes later, Lita came in with a wooden box.
"Brother Jian, I'm so sorry for my sudden visit. Recently, I got a treasure, the purple sandalwood jade in the period. I heard that brother Jian was very accomplished in art works related to purple sandalwood, so I came here to ask for identification."
Lita's intention was, of course, not to invite Henry to identify some antiques, but to help Alex get naked.
It was Yen's credit that Lita was able to rush to the Shallow Water Bay in time.
When Alex went back to the Selmy Family to retrieve his things and left as fast as he could, Yen realized that Alex must have gone to the Rivertown to rob his son.
Therefore, Yen made a phone call to Lita. Taking advantage of Yen extraordinary concern for Alex, he went to the Shallow Water Bay to save Alex.
"Oh, my Alex is here too! Come over, let's see if this Red sandalwood Jade is real or fake."
Seeing Alex staring at Lita and her son in silence, Lita took a step forward and grabbed Alex by the shoulder. Only then did he find out that he was shot by the arrow from the small pot cover.
Lita's heart ached for Alex of course. The whole arm of the down jacket was almost dyed red with blood. Although it would not be deadly, the blood was not dry water. If it hurt the artery arm, it would be broken.
"Son of a bitch, Alex is your biological father! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning by the heavens since you've committed such a heinous crime?"
Lita's words were very rude. He didn't say these words tactfully because of Alex's son. In his opinion, the behavior of such a son who disobeyed his father was a harsh criticism. It would be best if he could beat him to a pulp.
"It's my own child. I don't need to be educated by others!"
Lita coldly rebuked Lita. Like the Henry, she was also partial to her child.
It was said that her child was going to be struck by lightning. Snow couldn't accept it!
Lita frowned deeply and said in a bad mood, "The loving mother is more vicious than the rotten son! This is against his own father. If it's someone else next time, he'll have good results!"
"The adopted son of Henry doesn't need to be educated by others! Yan, I'm giving you face today. Let's get out of here with Alex! But there won't be a next time!"
"Get lost!"
Under the sternness of the Henry, Yan left with the injured Alex in a somewhat sorry state.
Alex didn't insist. He only stared deeply at his wife and children who were snuggling against each other. Were they unwilling to leave with him, or were they not allowed to do so?
Alex was more willing to be the latter. But what was shown on his son's face was the former.
"Lin, come to my adoptive father!"
The Henry was snuggling tightly against the little guy in her mother Lita's arms. It waved its hand.
The little fellow broke free from her mommy's arms. She threw the crossbow and threw it away and ran all the way to the Henry on the sofa.
The Henry held the rushing little fellow in its arms.
"What's the matter? Did you cry?" Henry Wen asked.
"Foster father, can you bring Lin and mommy back to the Fort? Lin doesn't want to stay here!"
The little fellow sobbed with his arms around the neck of Hehe Town.
