Chapter 287 Father's Love is Like a Mountain
The two of them stayed together for a while, and Zhang Nianzu asked, "What the hell is that old telephone of yours? Are you kidding me?"
Lei Tingting smiled and said, "That was a secret between Aunt Wang and I when we were very young. The other end of the phone was in her room. Long ago, our family had internal lines so we could hear each other. When Aunt Wang and I talked about some private things between girls, my dad would often pick up the conversation without thinking, so I asked someone to make a homemade phone."
"So you just called me from Aunt Wang's place?"
"Yes." Lei Tingting suddenly said seriously, "It is the only one that is safe now."
Zhang Nianzu asked, "What do you mean?"
Lei Tingting said: "With the technical means of the ants, it is not impossible to monitor any civilian phone."
Zhang Nianzu frowned and said, "Has it become so serious?"
Lei Tingting concentrated and said: "If you don't enter the ant tribe, you will never understand how terrifying it is."
"So you chose to meet here for safety reasons?" Zhang Nianzu found that Lei Tingting didn't bring anything with her except the bathrobe, and the bathroom had a natural sound of water to mask the sound, which showed that Lei Tingting was so concerned about leaks that she was guarding against every detail.
Lei Tingting nodded: "The current situation is that not only the walls have ears, but also the sky has eyes!"
Zhang Nianzu said, "But it looks like you just found out we're at your house. Have you been just guarding the car repair shop on Changsheng Street these days?"
Lei Tingting said angrily, "I was just saying that. You didn't tell me where you were going when you left that day. As soon as you left, all the surveillance systems of the ant tribe failed. The report said it was a temporary malfunction. I lost track of you and was worried to death."
Zhang Nianzu said helplessly: "I didn't know where I was going before I set out. It wasn't until I found Sister Xiaofeng that I remembered your father. Your father was holding a swearing-in ceremony to make a comeback, but I ruined it. He hates me to the core now."
Lei Tingting chuckled and said, "I have to thank you for this."
Zhang Nianzu suddenly asked, "The Ant Tribe is so powerful, why did the system suddenly fail?"
Lei Tingting said: "I didn't think much about it at first, but later I realized that it was not the system that failed, but it failed on us. Until today, when our group was notified to withdraw defense, they didn't even do the face-saving work. I knew something had gone wrong..."
Zhang Nianzu told him about his meeting with Lao Jiang yesterday, and said thoughtfully, "I don't care whether Lao Jiang reported my ambush or not. Jack is also a legitimate descendant of the grandfather. I can accept whether Lao Jiang chose to join him for money or because he thought Jack was more qualified to be the grandfather than me. What I am most worried about is that there should be a group of ants watching Jack. When he was trying to kill me, the ants acted as if they didn't exist. Did they change their policy towards us and let us kill each other? Or did they stand on Jack's side?"
Lei Tingting said: "The system failed and the defense was suddenly disarmed. I will check who is the leader of the ant tribe that followed Jack's group!"
Zhang Nianzu put his arm around her shoulders and said, "You have no roots or foundation. The one who can do this must be a high-ranking member of the Ant Tribe. You will be in danger if you go to investigate him at any time. You'd better come back. We will face any storm together. It would be fine if the Ant Tribe could really treat everyone equally, but since they have ulterior motives, that tribe will settle the accounts with them for thousands of years. As my wife, let's fight these guys to the death, whether we live or die, it's better than meeting them in secret!"
Lei Tingting hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Now is not the time. Before we completely fall out, if we get together, it will give the ants an excuse to go to war with you, and Jack will benefit from it."
Zhang Nianzu suddenly gave Lei Tingting a princess hug and said, "Never mind, I can't let you run away anymore. If you don't agree, I will just hold you and run two laps on the lawn, so that the satellites of the ant tribe can see how affectionate we are."
Lei Tingting blushed and laughed non-stop, then she held down Zhang Nianzu and said seriously: "I already have some clues, don't let my efforts go to waste."
"I don't care!" Zhang Nianzu shouted and was about to run out.
Lei Tingting poked Zhang Nianzu's shoulder with her hand, her face changed and she said, "I'll be angry if you do this again!"
Seeing that she was serious, Zhang Nianzu had no choice but to put her down angrily and said, "Is there really any clue?"
Lei Tingting nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Can I ask?"
"It's better if you don't know." Lei Tingting said seriously, "Ancestor Nian, even if the Ant Tribe is not at fault, I don't want our affairs to cause a complete split between our clan and the Ant Tribe. After all, it has been like this for thousands of years. Since I am still a member of the Ant Tribe, I must abide by the minimum rules, at least to avoid giving people a chance to talk about me in the future."
Zhang Nianzu sighed and said, "Tingting, you have really matured. But if you can't get away, will we never be together?"
Lei Tingting said: "You wish , don't even think about getting rid of me in this life, but for now... just take it one step at a time."
The two people were finally able to confide in each other in this closed little environment. Although the road ahead was uncertain, at least there was hope of "taking it one step at a time."
Lei Tingting said: "Tell me about yourself, do you believe that Asaxin is sincere in wanting to marry you?"
Zhang Nianzu said awkwardly: "From what we can see now...it should be true."
Lei Tingting curled her lips and said, "This woman is really amazing. She didn't do anything but just said one sentence to make Changgui and Asan fall in love with her. Don't you know how they looked at me when I just got home? It was as if they saw their master's concubine looking for trouble with the eldest wife."
Zhang Nianzu said helplessly: "They... are a bit old-fashioned." The traditional Golden Guards ignored fame and fortune, ignored universal rules, and only cherished honor and bloodline. Asasin was an assassin rarely seen in a century, and this was enough for Li Changgui and others to treat her as one of their own.
Lei Tingting looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Are you not tempted?"
"Why should I be moved?"
Lei Tingting said: "She has a European and American face and a supermodel figure. Tsk tsk, I used to think I was a beautiful lady, but compared to her, I just look like a bricklayer."
Zhang Nianzu said with a smile: "I like you like this."
Lei Tingting said dissatisfiedly: "What a meaningless compliment——"
Zhang Nianzu moved closer to her and said softly, "How can I prove it?"
Lei Tingting smiled and pushed him away, saying, "You've been here for too long. Go away. Remember, we have to act like we're not reconciled in front of outsiders."
Zhang Nianzu was also afraid of arousing suspicion, so he hugged Lei Tingting, kissed her, and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, he vaguely felt a large figure walking up through the glass door. He hurriedly stepped back. No matter who was outside, he would be exposed if he was caught here.
Lei Xiaohu was carrying a bag of toiletries and wearing slippers, and he came out to take a shower like a factory janitor who had just finished work. His room was occupied by Asassin. Although the guest room had a bathroom, it did not have a bathtub. He was used to taking a bath before going to bed, so he came to the public bathroom and saw a shadow sneaking inside. He immediately shouted, "Who's in there?"
No response.
Lei Xiaohu said: "I'm coming in!"
Lei Tingting's voice said, "Don't come in."
"Tingting." Lei Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "What are you doing in there?" Lei Tingting is a person with mild mysophobia and had never entered such places before.
"My room is also occupied! The shower in the guest room is broken." Lei Tingting replied unhappily and came out wiping her wet hair.
"Oh..." Lei Xiaohu subconsciously stuck his head into the bathroom and took a look.
Lei Tingting said unhappily, "Dad, what are you doing?" At this time, Zhang Nianzu was climbing up the ventilation duct and preparing to jump to the second floor. Before Lei Xiaohu could come in, he was dragged out by Lei Tingting.
Lei Xiaohu said casually, "Nothing... I thought someone else was in there." He looked at his daughter and said, "I have something to ask you."
Lei Tingting said: "It just so happens that I also have something to tell you."
The father and daughter, each with their own hidden agenda, sat down face to face at a bay window overlooking the scenery. Lei Xiaohu said, "Tell me the truth, are you still not giving up on that kid Zhang Nianzu?"
Lei Tingting hesitated to speak and finally lowered her head.
Lei Xiaohu slapped his thigh and said, "I knew it! It's ok that the girl is outgoing, but you are so devoted to him. You also saw the girl that boy brought back--" "She is so beautiful and sexy, what are you going to do?"
Lei Tingting glared at him and said, "Don't you think your daughter can't compare to her in anything?"
Lei Xiaohu's face was full of constipation, as if he was afraid of hurting his own child's self-esteem when mentioning other people's children. In the end, he uttered three words: "As a man——"
Lei Tingting was speechless: "What do you want to say?"
Lei Xiaohu was silent for a while, his expression gradually became serious, he slapped his hands heavily on the coffee table and said: "Forget it, forget it, it's been like this since I was a child, my father will solve my daughter's troubles, this time is the same, I will handle it for you."
"How do you deal with it?"
Lei Xiaohu's eyes became sharp and solemn, exuding a heroic aura. He said word by word: "I'll snatch that girl away and make Zhang Nianzu give up the idea!"
Lei Tingting was almost choked to death by her saliva. She said angrily and laughed: "Turning my love rival into my stepmother, is this your way?"
Lei Xiaohu said, "In fact, I have already guessed your intention, so I took action early in the morning. Now it seems to be very effective. Isn't that girl already in your father's bed?"
Lei Tingting said: "But you were driven to the guest room."
Lei Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "Take it one step at a time."
Lei Tingting cooperated and made a touching expression: "But in this case, your sacrifice is too great !"
Lei Xiaohu said calmly: "If you don't raise your children, you won't know the kindness of your parents. For you, it doesn't matter if your father suffers a little."
Lei Tingting shuddered.
"That's all." Lei Xiaohu picked up his toiletries, left Lei Tingting with a tall and majestic back, and went to take a bath.
