His Genius Wife Is A Superstar-Chapter 1325 - Childhood Sweetheart

Chapter 1325 - Childhood Sweetheart

Lu Zihao swept his cold gaze on everyone including his cheeky cat AI nephew in the computer screen who always liked testing his tolerance. Unlike his subordinates who all looked down and refused to meet his eyes, Bacon stared right back at him. 

The impudent little devil irked him but also amused him at the same time. Deep inside, he appreciated that the kid was the only one in Shadow Winds who didn't cower in his presence. 

Lu Zihao would never admit these thoughts out loud, though. Like hell he would give the little devil another ammunition to use against him.

With a derisive snort, he scolded his subordinates instead of letting Bacon to anger him to death.

"You're all grown adults and yet you act like weak pussies in front of an AI kitten. And you dare call yourselves a member of my Shadow Winds? Shameful!"

"Uncle Zihao, Bacon is not a kitten. I have the appearance of a grown-up cat but have the spirit of a big, ferocious black panther! Please take back your words. It hurts Bacon's feelings—"

"Enough of your chatter, kid."

Although Bacon was not a chatterbox like his elder sister Ketchup, he was still always extremely tenacious in correcting others whenever he heard something that he believed to be incorrect. To Lu Zihao, this tendency was as annoying as Ketchup's nonsense prattle.

Bacon blinked his golden eyes and turned his back on them. He no longer interrupted but his obvious sulky behavior was enough to cause the ShaWn members to feel like they were walking on eggshells.

What if the little devil was scheming on how to extort them out of spite in order to vent his frustration at being repeatedly reprimanded by his uncle?

They could only wave the contents of their wallets goodbye. 

Lu Zihao fought the urge to massage his suddenly aching temples. His AI nephew's temperamental personality sucked like a bitch. He really wanted to know which asshole Bacon's shitty personality was based on. Lu Zihao would definitely give the jackass a piece of his mind and a punch in the face.

No matter how many times he asked his sister about the son of a bitch's identity, she refused to tell him and would only give him a weird look. What the hell did she mean by looking at him like that?

Evelinka had truly been corrupted by that dickhead, Jin Liwei. Before his beloved sister had been reborn as Long Xiulan, she always told him everything. (Actually, this was not true at all but he had already deluded himself into believing that his precious little sister didn't keep any secrets from him.)

Now, his sister refused to even reveal which bastard her AI son's shitty personally was based on. Was it that hard to tell him? 

Maybe Bacon's personality was his father Jin Liwei's real hidden personality. 

Yes, that made sense. The two were "father and son" after all.

Maybe that was the true reason why Evelinka wouldn't tell him anything no matter how much he asked. She didn't want him, her big brother, to know that her husband was a much shittier prick behind closed doors.

Hah!

Now he knew the truth!

Lu Zihao scoffed at the sulking Bacon. If the kid was really upset, then why did Bacon not leave yet? It was clear that the kid still had the intentions of participating in today's meeting. 

He removed his feet off the table and sat more properly. "Let's return to the main purpose of this meeting."

"Yes, Boss Hao!"

Everybody returned to business mode. Even the sulking Bacon turned his head halfway and peeked at them out of the corner of his golden eyes.

The leader of ShaWn cleared his throat and took over. "According to Boss Drakon's investigation, we missed a key person in Tian Kong's past. A childhood friend, more like a childhood sweetheart, who immigrated to America before entering high school. This childhood sweetheart's background is generally normal and clean. But Boss Drakon is able to find out that the childhood sweetheart became brief lovers with a Mexican-American. 

"This Mexican-American's background also looks normal and clean but only on the surface. The truth is that he's a low to mid-level member of a gang related to the Alcatraz Organización. This gang is just one of the many local gangs used by Alcatraz to smuggle illicit drugs to North America and also to launder dirty money there earned from the drug trade.

"The childhood sweetheart and the Mexican-American's affair only lasted for a short time. They broke up and seemed to have cut all communications between them. This is until the childhood sweetheart suddenly decided to come back to China. She met up with Tian Kong and reminisced about their past. We don't know if they slept together but we can assume that this is the case. She only stayed for five days before returning to America.

"Boss Drakon's investigation basically only contains this but it's already a valuable breakthrough that we've failed to achieve in the last few months since the bomb attack. Now we can use this clue for a more focused direction moving forward."

Lu Zihao asked, "Did we investigate the childhood sweetheart?"

"Yes, Boss Hao."

"Then why the fuck did we not discover what my sister discovered?"

The ShaWn leader was embarrassed but still replied with honesty, "It's because we didn't investigate any further after seeing that her background is normal and clean. Also, we didn't think that she's that important to Tian Kong when they had been apart for so many years. When she and Tian Kong met up, nothing happened immediately afterwards. It was only six months later that Tian Kong carried out the bomb attack at Boss Drakon's mall show."

Lu Zihao lectured his subordinates, "Be more meticulous next time. Don't always depend on my sister. She's busy with her family and her career. I don't want to bother her anymore with tasks that Shadow Winds can damn well do by ourselves if you all just act a little more competent."

"Understood, Boss Hao. We swear to perform better next time!" [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

"Yes, we won't unnecessarily disturb Boss Drakon anymore!"

Nobody noticed that the sulking Bacon was no longer sulking and was once again facing all of them.. His golden eyes glowed as he monitored the entire meeting for recording (ahem, future blackmail, ahem) purposes.
