He promised Aunt Zhu Jin that he would help her get revenge, so he must not break his promise. The idea that Shi Shangbai had always instilled in him, "A real man should keep his word! He should dare to say and do!", had already penetrated into Shi Wei's bones.
Shi Wei pretended to be uncomfortable in class, and after a lot of effort in acting, he finally got a leave and could leave early... an hour. Shi Wei went home, and sent a message to his father along the way saying that he was going to play at a friend's house and would be back late. When he got home, he quickly put on the crime clothes he prepared last night, thought seriously about his plan, and sneaked out of the house.
Shi Wei looked at the news about Lian Huier, chose a direction according to the address, walked quickly to look at the 'person who needed to be beaten' whose face was wrapped so tightly that his face could not be seen, and did not forget to calculate how to make the slap he helped Zhu Jin fight back in a domineering and painful way.
Shi Wei, who was lost in his imagination, bumped into a wall. When he looked up, he saw Shi Shangbai's face.
"...Dad?" Shi Wei blinked and called tentatively. Was it an illusion? An illusion?
"Where are you going, dressed like this and lying to me?" Ishigami Bai asked with a smile as he looked at the superhero Erdan's clothes on him.
After watching the video on his phone, he roughly guessed it. Last night, he went home and pretended to be curious and asked who might be the person who hired to beat Zhu Jin. Today, he said unusually that he was going to a classmate's house to play. When he received the message, he knew something was wrong, and rushed back to block his son.
"…Alas…" Shi Wei was frustrated and put on his hood to cover his face. He knew he couldn't fool Shi Shangbai, so he confessed honestly, "I want to avenge Aunt Zhu Jin! I ate the food she cooked yesterday and said I would help her get revenge. This aunt hired people to beat Aunt Zhu Jin, and I want to help Aunt Zhu Jin fight back!"
After passionately explaining loudly, Shi Wei hastily added, "This auntie is someone who needs to be beaten. Auntie Zhu Jin said so."
"Someone who needs to be beaten?" Ishigami Kashiwa repeated, indicating that it made sense.
"Yes, I will only hit those who need to be hit." Shi Wei nodded heavily, clenched his fists and shouted like the people in the TV series, "I want to protect Aunt Zhu Jin!"
Aunt Zhu Jin's dishes are delicious, and her jelly cakes are even more delicious...
"Do you want to protect your Aunt Zhu Jin?" Shi Wei was wearing a hood, thinking about the taste of the cold cake he had just secretly eaten, and did not notice that Shi Shangbai's face changed after hearing his words.
"Yes, I want to protect Aunt Zhu Jin." Hearing Shi Shangbai's question, Shi Wei answered affirmatively without thinking. This answer made him excited, as if he had become an adult in an instant.
Shi Shangbai looked down at Shi Wei with a complicated look and didn't speak for a long time.
"Dad, is it not possible?" Shi Wei didn't hear any answer and pulled down his hood in frustration.
"No, Shi Wei, if you really want to, I will let you go, and I will accompany you, to protect you, and to support you." Shi Shangbai's answer and expression were beyond Shi Wei's expectations. He looked up at his father who seemed to have changed into a different person and continued, "Because I hope you can remember, remember your determination to protect someone in your heart at this moment, and then protect him at all costs."
"Desperately?" Shi Wei repeated subconsciously as he looked into Shi Shangbai's eyes.
"Well, regardless of everything, because loss is the most painful, just like when dad failed to protect mom and lost her in the end." Shi Shangbai bent down and held Shi Wei's shoulders, looking into his eyes and spoke word by word.
If you want to protect someone, you must make the greatest determination and do your best to protect them.
This is the truth he understood only after he lost Mian.
His son is already twelve years old and is about to grow up. He hopes he can understand this truth as soon as possible.
He supported Shi Wei because he wanted him to understand this truth, and also because he wanted to do something himself.
"Grandpa said that what happened to mom was not dad's fault." Shi Wei looked into Shi Shangbai's eyes for a moment, bit his lip and said in a low voice.
"Have you made up your mind?" Shi Shangbai smiled and did not refute, but just asked Shi Wei.
"I've thought about it. Although Aunt Zhu Jin is not someone I would protect at all costs right now, I cannot tolerate her being slapped for no reason. I want to avenge her! I promised her yesterday that I would help her get revenge!" Shi Wei hesitated for a moment, nodded again, and waved his fist at Shi Shangbai to show his determination.
"Okay, let's go then." Ishigami Kashiwa smiled, patted his shoulder and put his arm around him as they walked back, "Dad, put on some more clothes too."
The clothes of the superhero Erdan are actually father-son clothes. He was forced by Shi Wei to wear them once at home.
"Great, Dad, we are superheroes!" Shi Wei jumped with excitement, while Shi Shangbai started watching Lian Huier's live news to confirm the location.
When the two father and son arrived at the scene, they found the scene in chaos. A group of people with extraordinary military skills were fighting, and the reporters and onlookers were affected. The whole scene was in chaos. Their target was also in the chaos, and he was stumbling and retreating in the center of the chaos, protected by the three remaining bodyguards.
Ishigami Bai's eyes lit up, and he grabbed his son's hand and ran without hesitation, nimbly passing through the chaos and reaching Lian Huier in one minute.
"Don't push, son, son, be careful of my son!" Shi Shangbai roared in panic and anger. He seized the opportunity to avoid the bodyguard and slapped Lian Huier, who only showed one eye. The sensitive Shi Wei's eyes lit up, and he reacted quickly and jumped up to grab her.
Lian Huier's horrible face was successfully exposed. The consequence of encountering too many "accidents" is that the treatment can never keep up with the speed of injury, and there are countless things that she has to go out to deal with.
"Ah!" Lian Huier's scream was mixed in the noise. The bodyguard reacted and punched Shi Shangbai who caught Shi Wei.
"Hmm..." Ishigami Bai groaned, his nose felt sore and painful, and a warm feeling flowed down...
Nosebleed... Ishigami Bai wanted to leave, but was entangled by bodyguards. Ishigami Bai, who was quite skilled in martial arts, had no chance against them. Shi Wei, who was short in stature but had quick reactions because he was forced to train since childhood, was in a similar situation to him.
When the two men were dodging and getting beaten out of the crowd, a large number of police officers finally arrived. Ishigami Bai pulled Shi Wei away one second before the scene was controlled. He took off his superhero clothes while running and destroyed the body, then ran back to the car panting.
Kawaki Michi, who was the source of the chaos, watched the two funny figures, one big and one small, dressed in superhero Erdan costumes, slip away. He held back his laughter and praised their good luck in his heart. With a heavy look on his face and a strong sense of apology, he walked towards the police.
Then, when Zhu Jin was moving several precious medicinal herbs brought back from the prison to the backyard, he happened to meet Shi Shangbai Shiwei who had just got off the flying car in a mess.
Zhu Jin opened his mouth wide when he saw the father and son, who were in a mess with blood at the corners of their mouths and noses, bruises on their faces, a black eye, and a standard messy hair.
"What...did you guys go do? Fight?"
Shi Wei: “…” That’s right, it’s just that it’s so embarrassing that I didn’t win, so I’d better not tell Aunt Zhu Jin.
Ishigami Kashiwa: "..." How embarrassing, so embarrassing, so embarrassing...
