Chapter 66
"..."
After a moment of silence, Gogol clutched his stomach and burst into cheerful laughter. "This is so liberating! Why didn't the clown think of this? Little Fedya is so funny."
Xiao Luo's eyes lit up: "Uncle, do you finally believe Xiao Luo?"
"No, even if you take a step back and say something like that, the clown still won't believe it." Gogol squatted down in front of Little Lo with a smile, speaking ruthlessly in a cheerful tone.
The little girl immediately broke down: "Uncle, you're so mean."
Having exhausted all her efforts, Xiao Luo silently gave up. The child then grabbed her father's clothes again, trying to coax him: "Daddy, look, look at this uncle, doesn't he look like some kind of criminal?"
It is said that one's appearance reflects one's heart. Although he has not committed a crime now, he will definitely commit one in the future.
"Dad, you're a policeman, you must know to take precautions, right? Let's lock him up in jail for a while as a precaution, okay?"
Finally, the girl thought for a moment and added, "Not too long, let's lock her up for a hundred years first and see."
Fyodor: ...
Gogol: ...
The black-haired youth in the heavy white cloak stared at the girl in surprise after hearing her words. He remained silent for a long while before speaking softly with a hint of doubt and apology.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Luo, I'm not a police officer, so I can't control Gogol."
He paused, then asked with a question in his voice, "Do you know the concept of a hundred years? Under normal circumstances, ordinary people generally cannot live past a hundred years."
When Xiao Luo heard that her father wasn't a policeman, her eyes widened in surprise. She looked at him with a puzzled expression and said incredulously, "Dad, aren't you a policeman? I saw it clearly at the time, and you even admitted it."
"Dad, don't try to trick Xiaoluo and Uncle into a shady deal just because I'm young. Xiaoluo won't fall for it."
Fyodor fell into deep thought again, and for a moment he had the same question as Dazai Osamu: how exactly did they raise Little Lori?
If it were a book, it should be as innocent and naive as Sigma, but how did she manage to be like this... with a personality that is neither human nor inhuman?
Fyodor couldn't understand it.
He asked with a hint of doubt, "Do you possess any common sense as a human being?"
Little Luo, who was questioning her father's political correctness, suddenly heard him doubting her race. The little girl looked up in shock.
Why is this happening? Is it because I didn't answer my father's century-old question?
Isn't Dad being a little too stingy?
Xiao Luo said indignantly, "How could Dad say that to Xiao Luo? Of course Xiao Luo knows that people don't live past a hundred years, but what if this Uncle Guo Guo lives past a hundred years?"
Then he'll make a profit!
Anger fell silent for a moment, then Fyodor nodded understandingly. "I understand."
Xiao Luo's shared traits destined her to neither die easily nor leave easily.
So Fyodor had to start thinking about whether, if he were to raise Little Lori, he should find a teacher or let her read books on her own.
Fyodor explained it clearly, and Little Lo naturally chose to believe him. Satisfied, she returned to the main topic, "Daddy, when are we going to send Uncle to the police station?"
It seems we need a teacher, Fyodor thought; things have reached a point where normal communication is impossible.
“I’m sorry to disappoint you, but as I’ve already stated, I’m not a police officer. If you really want to know more about me, perhaps you can look at the international arrest warrant,” he said tactfully, gently reminding the young girl.
Xiao Luo was stunned. She stared blankly at her father, who looked so frail.
“...that police uniform.”
“That was a disguise I wore to get closer to my target,” Fyodor explained to the little girl in great detail, completely shattering her dream of becoming a policeman.
Xiao Luo sadly realized that her new father was indeed a wanted criminal, and an international one at that.
But it's okay, she can try to accept it. The child choked up and said, "Then Dad, just kill Uncle Guoguo. You're already an international fugitive, so one more crime won't make a difference."
Fyodor: ...
For a moment, I didn't know whether to be glad that the child had no sense of good or evil and accepted his change of identity very easily.
It's still frustrating how obsessed she is with Gogol.
“I’m sorry, he’s my business partner, I can’t do anything to him.”
Gogol, standing nearby, looked at the child with sparkling eyes. "Wow, I really want to dig out your brain and see how such free ideas come about."
One second he was enthusiastically playing the role of a junior policeman, the next he switched roles and immediately accepted the change, simultaneously altering his attitude. His smooth transition left Gogol in awe.
The young man grinned and leaned closer. "That's right, I'm Fei Jia's best friend and partner. Surprised?"
Xiao Luo: ……
No, not at all.
She spoke in a deep voice: "...So, this is what they mean by 'a childhood sweetheart can't replace a gift from heaven'?"
There was no other way; if we couldn't win, we had to join them. Uncle, let's let bygones be bygones. From now on, the three of us should focus on making the best of our lives; that's more important than anything else.
“That’s right, that’s right!” Gogol was stunned for a moment when he heard what Xiao Luo said. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn’t help but laugh.
He nodded excitedly, "Little Luo, do you want to go out and play with me? I'll secretly tell you about my revenge plan."
Wow! There's actually a revenge plan!
Xiao Luo's eyes lit up instantly, but she was still a little hesitant. It wouldn't be good to exclude her father.
Gogol immediately said, "Listen to my revenge plan, and I'll give you a strawberry ice cream."
"Okay!" The little girl quickly gave up on Fyodor.
Fyodor closed his eyes, feeling a headache coming on. He was currently working on an important plan, and handing Little Lori over to Gogol wasn't out of the question.
The fear was that Gogol might impulsively lay a hand on the little girl and end up killing himself.
I still need him for my future plans.
“Nikolai, please return it in 48 hours, exactly as it was.”
