"All right, I'll head back first."

Uncle Wu waved at Chu Chen and his wife. "But if something like this happens again, you have to give me a heads-up in advance. Otherwise, after a few more scares like this, you'll frighten me into having a heart attack."

Chu Chen chuckled. "Dad, this was a one-time thing. If I hadn't needed to lure Zhong Zhili out, I never would've come up with a plan like this."

Uncle Wu glared at him. "Then couldn't you have told me beforehand?"

"I was worried someone on the other side might follow you." Chu Chen gave an awkward laugh.

"Don't tell me you don't trust my acting skills?"

Uncle Wu puffed out his cheeks and glared. Of course, although he seemed to be complaining, he wasn't angry at all. All he wanted was to capture the vicious Zhong Zhili as soon as possible.

Seeing Chu Chen and Wu Ke grinning foolishly, Uncle Wu waved his hand. "All right, I'm done arguing with you two. I'll go back and rest for a while. I haven't slept well all night. Also, tell Little Li to go back and rest too. Who would follow an old man like me?"

Wu Ke hurriedly said, "Dad, Zhong Zhili came up with the idea of kidnapping Achen before. Using you to threaten Achen is perfectly normal for him, so you absolutely can't let your guard down."

Uncle Wu knew his daughter had a point, but he simply wasn't used to it. "This... I'm not some important figure. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to have bodyguards following me around?"

Chu Chen chuckled. "Dad, put up with it for a few days. Given Zhong Zhili's current condition, he won't be able to keep making trouble for long... I'll take this call."
