Mo Fan could not react in time.
The main reason was that he had no idea what Lingling's surname actually was. Did she inherit Old Bao's surname, or did she have the same surname as her sister Leng Qing?
Either way, Mo Fan only knew that Leng Qing and Lingling in the Clearsky Hunter Agency were bound by blood, unlike the others.
It was common for Hunters to lose their lives while doing dangerous jobs, thus there was an unspoken rule between friends who were Hunters: if someone died while doing their job, their friends would take in their kids and treat them like their own.
It was the reason why Lingling always referred to Old Bao as her grandfather, even though they did not have the same surname.
Could Senior Hunter Leng be Lingling's father?
Once again, Mo Fan's lack of knowledge strains credibility. But, it's a trope, so just roll with it.
