107: Gao Cheng's identity, Xiaolu's helmet has arrived.

After the fire was extinguished and everything was handled, the four of them sat in the living room, each with a different expression, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Xiao Lu hugged her doll, pouting in annoyance, naturally thinking that her Grandpa had lied to her again, so she was sulking.

Xu Jing, on the other hand, was suspicious about the cause of the fire, but she didn't want to say too much in front of the child, lest she scare her.

And Zhou Xiuya simply didn't know what to say, as she was just a live-in housekeeper.

Mr. Chen sat opposite the three, staring thoughtfully at the walking stick in his hand.

The walking stick was made of wood, but it was now cracked, and the charred black inside was clearly visible.

Obviously, this walking stick was ruined.

After all, it wasn't game equipment; being able to cast a spell once was the limit of the walking stick.

It seemed he would have to buy more for backup.

At this moment, Xiao Lu, being young at heart, was the first to lose patience and said, feeling wronged,

“Grandpa, you lied to me again! How many things are you still hiding from Xiao Lu?”

Mr. Chen's heart softened upon hearing this, but he couldn't talk about the matter of backfeeding, so he could only admit it.

“I did hide this from you, Xiao Lu. How about this, you can make a request to Grandpa, and as long as it's not too excessive, I'll agree.”

Xiao Lu immediately pouted and said angrily,

“No way! Grandpa made a mistake, so it has to be at least two!”

“Pfft!”

Xu Jing, who was beside them, couldn't hold back a laugh and quickly pressed her lips together to suppress it.

Zhou Xiuya also covered her mouth, secretly chuckling, looking at this lively pair with a bit of envy.

Mr. Chen's old face turned completely red, and after glancing at the two, he agreed.

“Alright, two it is, no backing out now.”

“Whoever backs out is a puppy! Pinky promise!”

“Pinky promise... hang ourselves... for a hundred years... never change! Done!”

After the pinky promise, Xiao Lu finally smiled, her little white teeth sparkling.

Because she woke up too early, Xiao Lu was still a bit sleepy, so Zhou Xiuya took her back to the room to catch up on sleep.

Click.

The door closed, and Mr. Chen let out a long breath.

The child he had raised had, in the end, become like him.

Of all his excellent qualities, Xiao Lu learned nothing well, but instead learned how to negotiate!

“Sigh... I hope she doesn't go astray in the future...”

“Mr. Chen, how did this fire start?”

Seeing that only the two of them were left, Xu Jing immediately asked the question on her mind.

Mr. Chen regained his composure and, feigning recollection, said,

“I happened to be using the restroom at the time, and as I passed the inner door of the garage, I smelled pungent smoke. I was about to put out the fire, and then you arrived.”

“As for the specific cause, I'm not very clear either. And wasn't it you who put out the fire? Didn't you investigate it?”

Xu Jing heard this, feeling somewhat skeptical, and reminded him,

“The ignition point was a tire in the corner of the garage, half-burned and melted. Spontaneous combustion is basically ruled out, so it's highly likely to be man-made.”

“If you have any other enemies, please tell me so we can avoid any oversights.”

“Alright, if I remember anything, I'll tell you,” Mr. Chen said with a smile.

Seeing this, Xu Jing said no more, stood up, and left.

After seeing Xu Jing off, Mr. Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“I finally managed to fool her...”

He hadn't expected the Lightning Chain in reality to be so powerful!

Next time, he'd have to find a deserted and safe place to try it out.

After all the commotion, it was already almost 5 o'clock.

He didn't plan on sleeping anymore.

To adapt to his legs as quickly as possible, he simply put on his coat and went out for a morning stroll.

It was still the same artificial lake, with beautiful scenery.

Mr. Chen walked along the lakeside path, leaning on his cracked walking stick, feeling more and more comfortable controlling his legs.

His speed also increased, already comparable to a normal person's walking speed.

After walking two laps, he happened to run into Gao Cheng, who was the Super Dad, doing his morning exercise.

When they met, Gao Cheng almost didn't recognize him.

He looked for a long time before suddenly remembering that it was the old man who chased him in a wheelchair that day, and immediately his face was full of surprise.

“Grandpa, you actually stood up? Weren't you paralyzed?”

Mr. Chen still had no intention of revealing himself to him.

Because this feeling of knowing the other person's identity while they don't know who you are was very interesting.

It was also a burst of playful spirit.

He chuckled, “I never said I was paralyzed; I just like riding in a wheelchair for fun.”

Gao Cheng nodded after hearing this, not finding it strange at all.

After all, some college students and young people were already starting to like traveling in wheelchairs, let alone the elderly.

“Alright then, Grandpa, you keep strolling, I'm going to run two laps.”

Gao Cheng didn't pay much attention, said a word, and began his running training.

Mr. Chen smiled and nodded, then with a thought, he cast a reconnaissance spell.

“Hmm? This kid isn't simple...”

Mr. Chen looked at the information, raising an eyebrow slightly.

He had thought he was just an ordinary retired soldier, but he hadn't expected him to be so skilled.

Zero Bureau...

It was probably some kind of special organization.

Moreover, this kid even had a talent, which was truly the first time he had seen one.

Even Xu Jing of the Snow Wolf Special Forces didn't display a talent, showing its rarity.

However, compared to his cheat, it was still more than just a little inferior.

He chuckled as he closed the panel, walked two more laps, and then returned home...

......

The sun was high in the sky.

A doorbell rang, and a beautiful box was handed over by the delivery man.

The box had promotional images of "Myriad Worlds" on it; it was exactly the game helmet Mr. Chen bought for Xiao Lu.

The number of Nutritional Game Pods was limited and still on reservation, so it would probably be two more days before they could get one.

Before that, he didn't plan to waste time; he would take Xiao Lu into the game tonight!

“Grandpa, what is it? Is it for Xiao Lu?”

Xiao Lu lay on the sofa, revealing half of her small head, smiling mischievously.

Mr. Chen walked over with a smile, stroked her little head, and said,

“Xiao Lu, do you want to play a game? A game just like in the TV cartoons, a very realistic one?”

“Yes! Yes, yes!”

Xiao Lu's eyes lit up, and she grabbed his hand, not letting go, shaking it continuously.

“Alright, alright, Grandpa will take you into the game tonight. How about we go to the amusement park now?”

“Oh, oh, oh! Grandpa is the best!”

Xiao Lu stood up and gave him a big kiss on the cheek, dancing excitedly!

Zhou Xiuya showed a gentle smile, quietly watching this scene...

......

On the other side, a black Maybach had arrived downstairs at the Xingji Corporation company building.

The driver ran down from the driver's seat, bent over to open the door, and respectfully said,

“Young Master Lu, we've arrived. Do you need me to accompany you upstairs?”

“No need, I'll go up myself.”

Lu Ziming got out of the car and stood, a hint of impatience flickering in his eyes.

......
