WAM CH24

About ten minutes later, Li Guangzong arrived at the police station with the little ancestor, Gu Sheng.

Regarding this child, he truly felt like he was holding something he was afraid of dropping, yet keeping something in his mouth he was afraid of melting. Besides, before Gu Yanzhou left, he clearly said she was very well-behaved and could recite her home address.

How was she well-behaved? She was simply a little demon king who bullied the weak and feared the strong!

As soon as Gu Yanzhou left, Gu Sheng skipped into his car, waving her small hands and saying: “Uncle, I want to go to the amusement park to play~”

“It’s very late, the amusement park is closed. Why don’t you tell Uncle where you live first? We can go to the amusement park to play tomorrow, okay?”

Gu Sheng pulled a crumpled piece of paper from her pocket. It was a flyer for some amusement park: “Don’t lie to me. It clearly says nine o’clock on here. You take me, and I’ll tell you where my house is.”

The flyer even had cute little animal balloons printed on it, flying around inside the amusement park.

She was in the first grade of primary school and didn’t recognize all the characters yet, but she still knew what ’21:00′ meant.

Li Guangzong’s old face flushed red. He was just about to say something about getting eaten by the Big Bad Wolf if she went out at night, but found that Gu Sheng was determined not to go home even if the Big Bad Wolf did eat her.

“I had a fight with Daddy today. I don’t like playing the piano at all.” Gu Sheng was small, and sitting in the seat, her feet couldn’t even reach the floor mats, dangling in mid-air. “I want to play with little cars. I heard the amusement park has bumper cars. Do you know what bumper cars are?”

Really…

Li Guangzong truly had a headache.

“You’ll see your uncle very soon, go talk to him about the amusement park. Pick a sunny, beautiful day to go play bumper cars.” Li Guangzong carried Gu Sheng out of the car, slammed the door, and muttered softly, “Finally free… serving her is harder than that guy Shao Si. No, strictly speaking, Shao Si is harder to serve…”

While taking the elevator up from the underground passage, Gu Sheng suddenly tugged his sleeve: “Can you not tattle on me to my uncle later?”

Watching the floor numbers increase one by one, Li Guangzong found this a bit strange: “Tattle about what?”

Gu Sheng pursed her lips: “You know.”

I… I don’t really know.

Li Guangzong put himself in her shoes and imagined: “Because you wouldn’t go home obediently?”

Gu Sheng nodded: “If Uncle finds out, I’m dead meat. He’s super fierce when he gets angry.”

Li Guangzong scratched his head. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t imagine what Gu Yanzhou looked like when he was fierce: “Probably not… Alright, I won’t tell him.”

However, this wasn’t something Gu Yanzhou wouldn’t know just because he didn’t tattle.

The cause and effect were plainly obvious without even needing to think about it. It just went to show that a child’s world was still too simple.

When Li Guangzong brought Gu Sheng out of the elevator and met Captain Wang, his Daddy Shao hadn’t returned yet.

“…Where did he go?” Li Guangzong’s heart tightened. “How many times have I told him not to run around, not to run around.”

“Shao Si and Yanzhou went out to eat,” Captain Wang said. With the major case solved, his spirits were high, and his normally serious face was relaxed. He casually pointed in a direction and said, “Just at that Li Ji Congee Shop near the police station. I recommended it, actually.”

“…”

If they wanted congee, couldn’t they have asked someone to pack it and bring it back!Going to a restaurant in person to drink congee!What’s wrong with them!

Li Guangzong inhaled and exhaled deeply, forcibly suppressing the restless anger in his chest. He brainwashed himself: Since it has already happened, being anxious is useless. I need to be calm, optimistic, and positive.

“I see. I got it, thank you, Officer Wang.” Li Guangzong nodded. “Speaking of which, did Shao Si cause trouble again? Although our Shao Si looks careless, he is absolutely a good, law-abiding citizen. If anything happened, it must be a misunderstanding. It’s definitely impossible, he’s such a great kid…”

Captain Wang said, “You’re being too modest. Thanks to the two of them this time, the case could be solved so quickly.”

Li Guangzong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he hadn’t committed a crime, it was fine. That scared him. Ever since Shao Si had rushed out, he had been worried.

However, Captain Wang’s next words made his breath catch right in his throat, unable to go up or down.

“Regardless of the danger, the two of them broke into a private residence located somewhere at the top of Panshan Road, successfully subdued Lu Jiahui, and rescued the hostage, Miss Liu.”

…

“You’ve sure grown capable, haven’t you?” When the two returned, Li Guangzong briefly greeted Gu Yanzhou before dragging Shao Si aside. Meanwhile, Gu Sheng threw herself at Gu Yanzhou, sweetly calling out ‘Uncle’. “I can accept my male god Gu doing it, but what are you joining the fun for? Do you not want your life? Look at these few retired abs of yours, what can they even do?”

Shao Si gave him a sideways glance: “You have double standards.”

“So what if I have double standards? Let me ask you, do you have an international Sanda championship trophy?” Li Guangzong said. “—Gu Yanzhou does.”

Shao Si didn’t know what he was thinking, probably just speaking without thinking. With incredible speed and taking it as a matter of course, he fired back: “I might not have a trophy, but I have Gu Yanzhou.”

In that moment, the air seemed to stagnate.

“I didn’t mean it like that.” Shao Si scratched his hair, feeling that what he just said sounded a bit strange and somewhat awkward. He intended to reorganize his words, but eventually gave up and said, “…Actually, the meaning I conveyed wasn’t wrong either.”

Shao Si looked up toward the elevator. Gu Yanzhou and Gu Sheng, one large and one small, were staring at him silently.

…

Shao Si felt it was still necessary to explain a bit more: “My point is, I rely on my brains… As for the physical labor, isn’t there a Sanda champion right here?”

“Forget it,” after saying two sentences, Shao Si shut his mouth. “I better just not speak.”

A moment of silence passed.

Gu Yanzhou led Gu Sheng over to smooth things over. Giving Li Guangzong a slight nod, he said, “You don’t need to worry too much. This time was also due to an emergency. I believe things like today won’t happen again.” He paused, then added, “Rest assured, when the fighting started, he just stood on the sidelines watching.”

Li Guangzong: “…That cowardly?”

Shao Si shouted expressionlessly: “Gu Yanzhou!”

Gu Yanzhou: “Just telling the truth, is there a problem?”

Having gone through so much and essentially taking a stroll on the edge of life and death, it was incredibly perilous. Even though Gu Yanzhou’s clothes had been carefully straightened, one could still see several obvious wrinkles and a few bloodstains on the corner of his shirt.

Not to mention two buttons on his shirt had fallen off during the fight, leaving everything below his collarbone unobstructed.

Good thing he was Gu Yanzhou; it didn’t look sloppy on him in the slightest.

After finishing his assessment of his male god, Li Guangzong shifted his gaze to the person beside him. Only then did he notice that the coat Shao Si was wearing looked somewhat unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar.

“Is this what you were wearing when you came today?” Li Guangzong asked. “Wait, didn’t you say your clothes were ruined…”

Reaching this point, Li Guangzong strung the cause and effect together and instantly understood something.

“Dad, are you wearing… um… ‘s clothes?”

Shao Si didn’t quite understand why he had such a subtle reaction and stated frankly: “What else? Should I run around naked?”

Wearing his male god’s clothes and actually acting so nonchalant!

Whenever Li Guangzong got excited, he liked to pinch and pat him—sometimes patting his back, sometimes pinching his lower back.

And because of their height difference, Shao Si being a head taller, pinching his lower back was more convenient.

The development of this habit was mostly due to Shao Si being too lazy on a daily basis.

He would slouch whenever possible, and if he absolutely had to stand, he would lean against a wall. Looking like he had no bones, it was infuriating to watch.

So Li Guangzong raised his hand, wanting to pinch him. However, just as his hand touched Shao Si’s waist, before he even applied force, his male god Gu spoke up: “Be careful, Shao Si has an injury on his waist.”

Li Guangzong’s hand paused.

Shao Si took two steps to the side: “…You brat, are you trying to murder your own father? Where are the clothes I told you to bring?”

Li Guangzong was just about to say not to tarnish his image with improper remarks in front of his male god, but upon hearing Shao Si, he instantly slapped his forehead: “I was wondering why I felt something was missing. I forgot to bring the clothes down, they’re in the car.”

Shao Si: “…What can you even do?”

Gu Yanzhou said: “My car happens to be parked downstairs too. Let’s go down first.”

“Ah, alright, Shao Si changes clothes very fast, it won’t take much time.” Li Guangzong proactively stepped forward and pressed the elevator button. “Please.”

When Gu Sheng was with Gu Yanzhou, she was indeed exceptionally well-behaved. It was obvious she was very close to him, but this closeness also contained a bit of fear toward an elder.

In the elevator, Shao Si leaned against the wall fiddling with his phone, while Gu Yanzhou held Gu Sheng’s hand.

Li Guangzong looked back and forth at them like a creep.

As they stepped out of the elevator, Shao Si had just connected to the internet when he received a pitiful voice message from Chi Zijun: “Bro, you promised to come see me. I feel like dying from the recording today…”

For some reason, Shao Si’s phone had turned on the speakerphone by itself.

Li Guangzong: “Zijun?”

“Yeah, I forgot about him.” Shao Si put away his phone, planning to chat with him when he got back.

Participating in that show, no matter how one thought about it, wouldn’t go very smoothly for Chi Zijun.

It was expected.

Shao Si opened the back door of the car and climbed in to change clothes. He was fast, taking barely twenty seconds. However, when he opened the door and climbed back out again, his shirt hem hadn’t been tucked in properly in his haste, exposing a section of his waist and the edge of his pants. Gu Yanzhou almost instantly thought of that ‘wardrobe malfunction’ photo that had gone viral on Weibo back then.

After Shao Si folded Gu Yanzhou’s clothes in a few swift motions, he remembered something as he handed them back: “Gu-shixiong, can you follow me back?”

The hand Gu Yanzhou used to take the coat paused: “What?”

“Weibo.”

Shao Si repeated it again: “Follow me back on Weibo.”

Listening from the side, Li Guangzong was speechless: “…”

He simply didn’t know why Shao Si placed such immense importance on this matter, actually managing to remember it at a time like this.
