Jin Liwei then focused next on the part about some high society matrons badmouthing his wife and viscountess mother-in-law, Wei Lan. He didn’t want to interrupt Bacon from talking earlier so he only asked about it now even though it bothered him as soon as he heard it.
"Oh oh oh, let the cute but not so mighty Ketchup explain this part, Daddy! Meow~"
"Alright, Ketchup. But speak softly. Your mom is sleeping."
"Okie dokie, Daddy! Ketchup will be super-duper quiet. Promise! Meow~"
And indeed, her voice became softer but her usual infectious enthusiasm remained. Then she began recounting about what the waiter from the exclusive secret restaurant shared in the Black Stars’ members-only forum.
"Ketchup tried very hard to find some footage regarding the incident in the exclusive restaurant, Daddy," she told him. "But someone already tampered with the surveillance system and deleted the part when Grandma Wei Lan was inside the restaurant. Bacon and Ketchup want to dig more but Mommy told us kitty babies not to do anything in the next few days that might endanger us again before she reconfigures our systems. Meow~"
A furrow formed between Jin Liwei’s brows. "Who tampered with the surveillance? The hacker you battled tonight?"
It was Bacon who answered. "It’s possible, Father. Since he attacked Big Sister Ketchup while she was trying to dig private information about those despicable high society hags, then we can assume that the hacker might be related to them or maybe about the incident involving Grandmother Wei Lan at the exclusive restaurant. We just don’t know how yet."
"Mommy says that she’ll investigate it," Ketchup piped in.
Jin Liwei’s frown deepened. "I don’t want your mom doing all the work by herself in this matter. It’s not safe to exhaust her. Bacon, go and inform your Uncle Zihao about what happened tonight. I’m sure that he has ways to help us."
"Understood, Father. Bacon can personally guarantee that Shadow Winds’ hacker team, ShaWn, will always be willing to help Mother because they all look up to Drakon. Even if Uncle Zihao doesn’t help, I can still blackmail the members of ShaWn to secretly assist us."
"I...see."
Jin Liwei’s mouth twitched at the way his AI son easily revealed his intention of blackmailing his current colleagues to help them. For a moment, he contemplated on whether to lecture Bacon about the morality of blackmail but eventually just let it be.
He and his wife had no intention of raising their children to become saints in the future. If someone harmed them, then they should not just endure the pain and keep silent. That was just priming themselves for others to take advantage of them.
There were times when enduring was acceptable but not always. Doing so was only pure stupidity. The children of Jin Liwei and Long Xiulan (Evelina Vetrova) shouldn’t be stupid. If they ended up stupid, then he and his wife would’ve really failed in being parents. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Striving for peace was a goal in life but if others kept on provoking them, why shouldn’t they retaliate?
Based on his experience as an elite businessman, diplomacy didn’t always work. Sometimes it was necessary to threaten the other party in order to gain an advantageous deal. This principle was also applicable in life.
Bacon left.
