Chapter 250 Xin Hans Family (1/2)

Kyle was surprised at that.

The fact that she hadn't spoken, and was of a small stature now made sense, but it also meant he wouldn't be able to guess the age anymore. Earlier, he thought the intruder had been around 12? Now, though, she could have been 15? 16?

Kyle shrugged.

Didn't matter.

It's not like they were going to meet again anyway.

Kyle was exhausted.

After leaving the place, he had to go and 'download' all the information in his head. The advantage of his photographic memory was that he didn't need to waste time taking pics of the documents or risk losing the equipment.

The disadvantage was that he had to reproduce everything.

Luckily, it had all been texts, so all Kyle needed to do was speak into a microphone and the computer typed it all out. He watched the texts of words on the screen as he dictated and once completed, sent it to Nitocris through encrypted email.

The information he obtained was rather valuable. It had the name list of whom Kyle presumed were the clients. There was some coded stuff in there, too, so Kay would most likely decipher that later on. As for Kyle, he'd go through the materials in greater depth at another time.

For now, it was time to sleep. His eyes were a bit blurry from focusing on the computer screen so much and he was yawning by the time he trudged into bed at 7am.

He smiled as he saw Xing Han still snoring away, his mouth wide open with a slight drool at the side of his mouth. Kyle slumped onto his own bed and was asleep in seconds.

It felt like he had just closed his eyes when he was being rudely shaken awake by a wailing ... whale? Puppy?

”Come on, Kyle! Wake up!!” Xing Han was saying, his hands on Kyle's shoulder while vigorously shaking him, ”It's already 9am!!”

Kyle opened up one eye, pushed Xing Han's hand and pulled up the blanket to his neck while saying, ”Shut up. It's only 9 am.”

”Our flight is at 11 am, Kyle!” Xing Han said, continuing to shake him.

”I have time,” Kyle mumbled, turning over, ”Give me 30 minutes more...”

Xing Han stared incredulously at Kyle. Since when was this morning person, who was always up at the crack of dawn, not able to get up?

Just as he was about to shake Kyle again, he heard Kay saying to him from the doorway, ”Let him be. Whenever it's the break, he'd sleep the whole morning.”

Of course, that was a lie, but she needed a cover as to why Kyle was still asleep.

Xing Han puffed his cheeks, shrugged and looked at his watch. They would need to be at the airport an hour before time, so he guessed there was time. If Kyle said 30 minutes, then he must be confident of being able to get ready by then.

Kyle had never let him down before.

”Come on. Let's have breakfast,” Kay said.

”I had breakfast already,” Xing Han replied.

”So?”

He grinned. That's right! So?

Rubbing his hands together gleefully, he followed Kay down to the dining room. Auntie Rheia made the best banana pancake ever! With the fluffy texture of the pancake and caramelised banana slices in it ...

Xing Han's mouth drooled and he picked up the pace.

However, upon entering the dining room area, he frowned.

Nitocris was sitting there, having his breakfast. He was busy flipping through some files while Auntie Rheia piled some pancakes on his plate. She even buttered it and poured syrup over it!

Xing Han scoffed at that blatant pampering. Nitocris was an old man already and yet, he let his own mother, baby him like that?

He was about to turn around and go back when he thought ... why should he? Kyle was still asleep upstairs so he was safe from Nitocris. Kay was at the table as well, so she would be his shield.

With a determined look, Xing Han headed to the table.

Just as he sat down, however, Nitocris asked Kay, ”Kyle still asleep?”

”Yes,” Kay answered simply, smiling as she took the plate of pancakes from Auntie Rheia and thanking her.

Nitocris tsked, loud enough for Xing Han to hear.

”No energy just from that? And here I thought, he was the young one,” Nitocris said, seemingly under his breath. He finished up his pancake, drank his coffee then kissed his mother on top of her head.

”I'll be heading off now, Mum,” Nitocris said.

”Good, good,” Rheia said, patting his shoulder, ”Next time, don't tire your brother out like that.”

”I won't, Mum,” Nitocris replied, ”I'll know how to hold back next time, now that I know what's his stamina.”

Nitocris walked off, hiding his smirk while Xing Han hand was shaking as he stared at the pancake in front of him.

”Aren't you eating, dear?” Rheia asked worriedly.

Xing Han blinked, pushed the pancake aside and apologized, ”I'm sorry, Auntie Rheia. I just remembered there are some things I have to pack.”

Rheia nodded in understanding while Xing Han ran off to Kyle's room.

When Xing Han saw Kyle still sleeping, he gritted his teeth and went to wake him up again. This time, however, he glomped on Kyle first. Then, using both hands, he began shaking Kyle.

”Come on, Kyle! Wake up! If you don't get up and get ready now, I'll bathe you right in bed!!” Xing Han declared.
