"Big brother, what should I do?"
The words were vague, but if Fu Cheng had helped Gan Tang change her genetic report, he would definitely understand the underlying meaning. But at this moment, Fu Cheng looked puzzled: "Is my sister facing some difficulties?"
"No!" Gan Tang continued, "I'm just afraid that Dad won't like me!"
“No, you are the daughter he has cherished for twenty-seven years. As long as you stay with him, your godfather will be happy.” Fu Cheng politely distanced himself from the two and left alone.
His attitude towards her was even more distant than before the genetic test, as if he was deliberately keeping his distance.
Shouldn't he save me at this point, since I'm useful to him?
Could it be him?
Gan Tang tried to comfort herself in a daze: It's okay, he didn't do anything wrong, I really am Lu Zhengqian's daughter, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
No, it's because he couldn't fake the photo at all; Lu Zhengqian could spot it as fake at a glance. So, he chose to sacrifice a pawn to save the king, abandoning his own piece.
Gan Tang analyzed the situation along the way and concluded that this was the most likely possibility.
Humans are creatures of hope, and this time, she didn't lose her composure. Back in her room, Gan Tang drew back the white curtains, revealing a clear blue sky and white clouds, offering a wide and unobstructed view.
A short while later, an airplane soared into the sky and flew towards the land of freedom.
There are airplanes and yachts on the cruise ship. If Fu Shaojie can leave, so can I. Three days is enough time.
The gleaming real gun in her hand emboldened her. Gan Tang drew the curtains, locked herself in the small bathroom, and checked the bullets in the gun.
Why aren't there any?
During dinner, only Lin Shuang and Gan Tang accompanied Lu Zhengqian. Lu Zhengqian leaned against the headboard, with a large spread of food on the table in front of him.
Lin Shuang, wearing a short skirt, knelt on the bed, serving Lu Zhengqian his meal. Gan Tang sat by the bed, pretending to eat while listening to him recount his stories about his youth and Jian Suhuai.
Gan Tang felt nothing for that woman, but he still pretended to be very serious, nodding and agreeing from time to time, laughing with him, and crying with him.
Lin Shuang fed Lu Zhengqian a piece of white and tender cod fillet.
Lu Zhengqian chewed, his face full of disgust: "In this world, there is no woman who can compare to your mother. A bunch of ordinary women with similar skin are all a desecration of your mother."
Gan Tang couldn't help but glance at Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang clearly lowered his head and curled up, trying his best to hide his presence. His subordinates, however, were even more careful in serving him so that he could eat comfortably, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
"So Mom felt sorry for Dad and sent me to live with him!" Gan Tang took the chopsticks from Lin Shuang's hand, sat down a couple of steps closer, and personally fed him.
In just two days, she learned the hypocrisy of this world and often amused Lu Zhengqian.
Seeing Lu Zhengqian's happiness, Gan Tang tentatively asked, "Dad, I really like the gun you gave me, but I don't know how to use it. Could you send a handsome guy to teach me?"
"Handsome?" Lu Zhengqian smiled and touched Gan Tang's nose. "You little lecher, just like your mother. If your mother hadn't coveted my good looks, I wouldn't have gotten on your mother's ship."
As if her secret had been touched, Gan Tang blushed and pouted, "Daddy~~"
"Alright, alright." Lu Zhengqian instructed Ali, who was standing to the side, "You pick a few handsome bodyguards to teach the young lady how to shoot."
Gan Tang made her request again: "Can I choose it myself?"
A short while later, Ali returned with a dozen photos. Because it was Mr. Fu's room, not all of his bodyguards were authorized to enter.
Gan Tang looked at the photos and pouted, "Just these few people?"
The expression clearly showed dissatisfaction with their appearance.
Lu Zhengqian doted on her and instructed Ali again: "Have Cheng and Zhong pick a few more handsome men for the young lady to choose from."
"What do you mean by being handsome? I want to learn how to shoot."
As the saying goes, the more you try to hide something, the more you want to know it. Gan Tang successfully made Lu Zhengqian lower his guard against her.
An hour later, the magnificent hall was packed with people. Men aged fifteen or sixteen to forty, tall, handsome, fair-skinned, muscular, and refined—there was something for everyone.
The group gathered together, chattering and asking each other questions.
"What's the matter that requires such formality?"
What important events are there?
"Are we going to carry out an important mission?"
"..."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, making wild guesses. But none of them offered a convincing answer. After all, making everyone shower, change clothes, and refresh themselves beforehand was unprecedented.
"Stop talking, everyone, stand up straight!"
At a command, Fu Cheng and He Zhong's men stood in neat rows on either side of the hall. Fu Cheng's men stood in three rows, and He Zhong's men stood in five rows.
The hall door opened. He Zhong stood beside Gan Tang, chatting and laughing. Fu Cheng walked slowly behind them.
"Greetings, Fourth Master!"
"Hello, elder brother!"
"..."
"..."
The two sides shouted at each other at the top of their lungs, one wave higher than the other.
This was the first time Gan Tang had ever seen such a shocking scene, and as she watched, she suddenly found it somewhat amusing. It was like two roosters in a coop, stretching their necks and competing in crowing.
He Zhong genuinely believed that she was longing for a man.
After the three of them stood on the stage, He Zhong stopped the shouts from the crowd. He held the microphone and said, "The young lady wants to learn how to shoot a gun. You all stand properly and let her see. Answer her questions properly."
After saying that, he turned to Gan Tang, who was standing in the middle, and said, "Niece, you can choose any of these people I have. My elder brother said that the people you choose will be under your command, and they will protect you closely from now on."
"No need!" Gan Tang waved her hand. "I'll just learn how to shoot a gun, and then I'll return it to my fourth uncle and eldest brother."
"My niece, you should choose first!" He Zhong said enthusiastically. If he could place a trusted confidant by Gan Tang's side, it would definitely prove useful in the future.
"Okay!" Gan Tang smiled awkwardly and walked off the stage.
Women and men are naturally different in height, so Gan Tang had to look up to see them.
"Lower them all."
At He Zhong's command, the five rows of men squatted down in unison, regardless of their height, all of them squatting down to be half a head shorter than Gan Tang, making it easier for Gan Tang to see them.
Yes, it's watching.
Everyone wore a respectful smile, some shy, some enthusiastic, and spoke freely and without reservation. It felt great, like an emperor choosing his concubines, with the illusion that he was the only one worthy of respect in the world.
Fortunately, she had a boyfriend, and Gan Tang wasn't fooled. She looked at He Zhong's men, then at Fu Cheng's. Gan Tang shook her head, walked onto the stage, and asked Fu Cheng, "Brother, is this all the men you have under your command?"
Fu Cheng explained confidently, "The rest of them have never touched a gun."
"No way, I remember you had one of your men who was really good with a gun. He was here at lunch today!"
"Sister, he is injured and it's inconvenient for him to be here."
Gan Tang retorted, "What's inconvenient about it? You can go out to eat, but you can't come to see me. What, do you look down on me?"
