The four of them, father and son, huddled together and were affectionate for a long time... Zhou Jiao winked at Zhang Guoqing, left the room first, went downstairs to stand guard, and sorted out the specialties they brought back.
When she left, not only Zhang Guoqing understood, but the three Ping An brothers also stopped smiling playfully and became quiet, waiting for their father to get back to business.
Zhang Guoqing is very satisfied with his three sons. They are perceptive, intelligent, and strong-willed. Even at such a young age, they know how to get up early and do horse stance every day.
You know, in a family like theirs, it is not impossible for a playboy to appear, especially with a grandmother who indulges the children and always instills in them the idea of a petty-bourgeois lifestyle.
But the children have learned a lot of Western etiquette, but they know how to hide their shortcomings; they can speak several foreign languages, but never reveal a single word...
Of course, in addition to inherited good genes, all of this is also inseparable from the teachings of parents and elders, and he is also happy to teach his sons so that they can better adapt to this society.
Wuyi took his hand and shook it, looking at him expectantly, "Dad, you caught those bad guys, didn't you? My dad is so awesome!"
Is this tone really necessary to be so sure? And how can this little mouth be so talkative? With this compliment, how can he, as a father, have the nerve to hide the truth?
"How did you guess that?"
Wuyi glanced at his two brothers, pointed his thumb at himself, and giggled.
Liuyi immediately rolled his eyes at him in disdain and muttered, "Fool!" Then he looked at Zhang Guoqing puzzledly and said, "Dad, why don't you let those brats starve for a few days before sending them home?"
Zhang Guoqing was delighted. He hadn't expected that the person most like his wife was his second daughter-in-law. He immediately asked calmly, "What do you mean?"
Liuyi frowned, "It's not a good enough warning, and the punishment is too light! If those adults catch us three brothers, they won't show mercy."
A four or five-year-old child could say such things. Zhang Guoqing didn't say whether his idea was right or not. He looked at Ping An and said, "Tell me why Daddy did that?"
"First, we don't have enough time. Don't forget this is a covert operation. Second, it's inconvenient for Dad to travel back and forth to the city. Third, and this is the most crucial point, unless we can eradicate the problem completely, the warning will just be a warning, not cause any casualties."
"Even though there's no evidence to arrest Dad, those bad guys tied up in the square should have guessed it was our family who did it.
The masters behind those bad guys would naturally notice, and we were like two people playing chess, each knowing the other's intentions. Dad showed his hand to the other side, telling them.
I know what you are up to. If you reach out, be prepared to be chopped off. But if I don't stab you, it's not because I'm incapable. Just look at your little brat and see if he will fall into my hands too."
Zhang Guoqing nodded when he heard this, looked at the three children and smiled, "That's pretty much what your eldest brother meant. I just told them straight out that they can have their fun, as long as they're careful not to hit our family, and everything will be fine."
After saying this, he glanced at his second son, who still looked a little unhappy, smiled, and continued, "Liuyi, if Dad really lets those kids get into trouble, he'll tear his face off with them and fight to the death. Don't worry about beating a few of them to death, but if they really get into trouble, do you think our family should join the police?"
"Dad, are we just going to let those people go like this?"
"Let them go? How could that be possible! Regardless of whether it was those people who came up with the idea, we must remember this grudge! Now is the time when they are in power. Only by avoiding their sharp edge can we preserve our strength. Wait, when the time comes, we can naturally strike."
Liuyi nodded solemnly, "A gentleman's revenge is never too late. When we grow up, you and my grandfather won't have to worry about having no one to help us."
Zhang Guoqing's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he was speechless for a moment. Was he saying that his son's prediction had come true, or was he worried that his son would despise his abilities?
Ping An reminded him, "When you meet those people, you have to pretend to be friendly and don't show your true colors. Especially you, Liuyi, keep your thoughts to yourself."
"elder brother?"
Seeing his brother's dissatisfaction, Ping An smiled nonchalantly, "Brother knows you are smart, but you can't be careless. Check the pendant that mom gave you every day before you go out. Don't think you are safe in the compound."
Zhang Guoqing saw the twins looking down at the pendants around their necks, smiled silently, and patted his eldest son's head. True to the eldest son's style, he had no reason to worry about his children's future.
Wuyi saw his father smiling and winking at his brothers, then tilted his head and rested it on Zhang Guoqing's arm. "Dad, I admire you the most. How could you keep your face straight when the uncles were talking about those things just now?"
Zhang Guoqing patted his little head with a smile, "Little guy, if your father can't even manage this little disguise, how dare he venture into the underworld?"
"Shouldn't you be honest with your best friends? You'll be left with no friends if you do this."
"I've been really nice to you guys. Didn't you see I spent all my money on our treat? By the way, do your friends know you guys have a box of snacks hidden away?"
Seeing that he pretended to be disdainful, the three brothers couldn't help but chuckle. After looking at each other, they immediately rushed up and knocked him down, tickling and pinching each other's noses, making a mess.
Zhou Jiao, who was downstairs, heard the undisguised laughter and Zhang Guoqing's loud pleas for mercy, smiled and shook her head, then walked out of the living room and headed for the front door.
Her man is really a big kid!
The courtyard was peaceful under the cover of night except for the sound of patrol footsteps in the distance. Looking at the lights coming from several courtyards not far away, she anxiously hoped that her parents would return soon.
This mess against her family was over in the short term. Zhou Jiao didn't know how many difficulties would come in the future, but she had never been so eager to stay away.
Tonight was the night she had to tell her mother about Lin Dinghui's secret help. She didn't want her mother to have too much trouble with the Lin family, but out of respect, she didn't want to hide it from her.
"Mom, you're back? Why are you so late?"
"I went out for a bit." Miao Lishan looked tired, but she smiled when she saw her daughter under the streetlight. "Why did you come out to wait? Has your dad not come home yet?"
"Mom, this is not right. I'm waiting for you. My dad won't be back before nine o'clock." Zhou Jiao took her bag and took her arm as they walked home.
"Okay, okay, Mommy has wronged you."
"Mom, are you busy lately?"
"Not really. There are just too many people coming down from above to give us guidance."
Zhou Jiao nodded in understanding, "Then be careful."
Mother and daughter both understood the meaning of this statement. Some things were not to be said in public, so Miao Lishan smiled and patted her arm.
As for work, it has always been like this. Just follow the instructions from above. Let anyone who wants to find fault do it. She is not some random person. If those people want to take advantage of her, they have to see if her family agrees!
