In the hall.

Zhao Gaolie stared at Lin Hao with a fiery gaze and said solemnly: "I will find time to talk to Ling'er about this matter. If she insists on doing this, I will not agree!"

Lin Hao didn't comment, and said indifferently: "I have to go to Tianyan Academy anyway, so as to avoid embarrassment when the two sides meet."

"Um?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gaolie was slightly startled. He looked at Lin Hao in surprise and asked, "You have also been selected to be admitted by Tianyan Academy?"

"No."

Lin Hao shook his head and smiled faintly: "In addition to internal appointments, Tianyan Academy also recruits external candidates. As long as you pass the assessment, you can also enter."

Zhao Gaolie took a deep breath and then exclaimed: "Good, you have ambition!"

In his opinion, with Lin Hao's ability, he would be more than qualified for internal recruitment, let alone external assessment.

Otherwise, he would not have become a new member of the Minge organization.

Such a huge force cannot be targeted by just any ordinary person.

Therefore, this point alone was enough to make Zhao Gaolie believe that the assessment level of Tianyan Academy would be a piece of cake for Lin Hao.

"Lin Hao, there is something I'm curious about."

Zhao Gaolie looked at Lin Hao's gray pupils and couldn't help asking, "You really can't see anything?"

At the same time, he turned his gaze to the Kung Fu Fly on Lin Hao's shoulder and couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.

Lin Hao smiled calmly, but asked in return: "Can this be fake?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gaolie became even more surprised and suspicious.

"Then how did you find the prey when you were on a mission?"

There was a hint of surprise and confusion on Zhao Gaolie's face.

Because the killer's mission list contains a portrait of the prey. If you are blind, how would you know who you want to assassinate?

He was really confused and puzzled about this.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what the master means by mission and prey."

Lin Hao still had that expression of not knowing anything.

Seeing that Lin Hao was playing dumb again, the muscles at the corners of Zhao Gaolie's mouth twitched slightly.

If it was someone else, he would have lost control and slapped him.

"Haha, I understand, I understand..."

Zhao Gaolie laughed dryly.

Since Lin Hao did not actually admit it, the guess in his mind was actually a bit uncertain.

It really is not a pleasant feeling to be kept in suspense.

Zhao Gaolie sighed inwardly, but Lin Hao's other identity was indeed sensitive, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.

Otherwise, seeing that Lin Hao continued to pretend not to understand, he was really worried that he would not be able to help but lose his temper on the spot!

"Tianyan Academy is a long way away. It will take more than half a month to reach our Tianwu City. When do you plan to leave?"

Zhao Gaolie said with a smile: "I will arrange for Ling'er to go with you, and ask the servants to prepare some things."

In order to make up for his previous status as father-in-law, he is now sparing no effort to please Lin Hao.

"More than half a month, so far."

Lin Hao was slightly surprised. It seemed that he had to set off early.

"Then let's do it on the first day of next month."

After a brief pause, Lin Hao smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your help, Master."

"No way."

Zhao Gaolie waved his hand and said with a hearty smile: "You and Ling'er are husband and wife. From now on, don't call me the head of the family. Just call me dad."

"OK."

Lin Hao smiled and nodded, "If there's nothing else, I'll go to the cafeteria to have breakfast first."

Just as I was about to leave, a graceful blue figure suddenly walked in from the front door.

This person is Zhao Linger.

She glanced at Lin Hao without saying anything, and passed by him like a stranger.

Lin Hao had no intention of being a bootlicker for this beautiful wife who was only in name only.

He also walked over in silence and walked straight out the door.

"Dad, I heard everything that happened today."

As soon as she came in, Zhao Linger walked to Zhao Gaolie's side and asked in surprise, "Was the third steward's death really caused by the assassin named Jing Ke?"

Zhao Gaolie nodded and said in a deep voice: "According to the admissions of the servants who were present at the time, it was indeed him."

Hearing this, Zhao Linger frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "However, Lin Hao has always stayed at the Zhao Mansion because of his limited mobility. How could he have offended that assassin?"

Zhao Linger was quite puzzled by this. Who would go to such trouble to get into trouble with a blind man?

Zhao Gaolie did not comment, and then smiled and said: "Maybe someone hired someone to kill him. He has such an excellent wife like you, but there are many people who wish he would die."

When the word "wife" was mentioned, a hint of displeasure clearly appeared on Zhao Linger's beautiful face.

"Dad, in order not to delay our respective lives, I have decided to dissolve my marriage with him."

Zhao Linger's voice was cold, and she had no attachment to her husband Lin Hao at all.

"You have only been married for a short time, how can you be so casual? I don't agree."

Zhao Gaolie frowned and refused directly.

"Dad, are you worried about offending the Lin family?"

Zhao Linger pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of the Lin family. When the time comes, I will become a student of Tianyan Academy. Even if the Lin family is dissatisfied, they will not do anything to our Zhao family."

At the end, Zhao Linger took her father's arm and started to act coquettishly.

If it were in the past, Zhao Gaolie might have agreed without hesitation.

However, things are different now. Lin Hao, the useless son-in-law, has become a rich son-in-law, and the Zhao family is counting on his relationship to become a first-class family in the future.

However, due to Lin Hao's special identity, Zhao Gaolie was well aware that people would gossip a lot, so even if it was his own daughter, he had to keep it secret as much as possible.

After all, the death of the third steward Qin Chi involved his genius younger brother. If it were accidentally exposed, the Zhao family would definitely be affected.

"I think Lin Hao is a good son-in-law. Why don't you try to get along with him for another ten or twenty years?"

Zhao Gaolie began to persuade.

"good?"

Zhao Linger was stunned and looked at Zhao Gaolie in surprise, thinking that she had heard it wrong.

She knew very well that her father was extremely selfish.

In order to cooperate with the Lin family, he even forced her to marry.

At that time, in order to observe filial piety, she compromised and agreed to the marriage.

But more than a month ago, her father learned that she had been admitted to Tianyan Academy, and he repeatedly advised her that her future was the most important thing and she should not let the constraints of marriage and family become stumbling blocks in her life.

Obviously, in Zhao Gaolie's view, there are countless famous students in Tianyan Academy, and the power of the Lin family can no longer satisfy his ambition to strengthen the Zhao family.

Why has it changed now?

"Dad, I have always listened to you since I was a child, but this time I don't care. I must make my own decision."

Zhao Linger's attitude this time was very tough and resolute.

"Besides, Lin Hao and I are not actually married, and I will be going to Tianyan Academy next month. To put it bluntly, he is just a stumbling block on my life path."
