Chapter 26: Though I am poor, my will is not!

  Seeing his stubborn daughter finally willing to interact with her boyfriend, Su Beishan felt greatly relieved and warmly invited Gao Fei: "Sit down, don't stand, don't be polite, come here, it's just like coming back home. Xiao Bing, what are you still stunned about? Hurry up and make tea for Xiao Gao! Oh, right, brew the top-grade Da Hong Pao!"

  What, let me go make tea for him, and he's wearing a red robe, who does he think he is? He looks just like the Red Robe!

  Shen Yin Bing was about to retort, but suddenly remembered the role Gao Fei was playing now, and could only reluctantly agree with a "oh, okay".

  "Alas, this daughter of mine has been spoiled by me since she was young. Haofei, you'll have to give in to her a bit more later on. Actually, she's very kind-hearted, it's just that she has a bit of a temper."

  After his daughter went to make tea, Su Beishan sighed and shook his head.

  You're still somewhat self-aware, knowing your daughter has a bit of a temper - in his heart he was cursing, Gao Fei shook his head repeatedly: "Uncle Su, you're wrong, I think Shen Zong is quite good."

  Su Beishan waved his hand: "Xiao Gao, you've come home today, so stop calling her Shen Zong, just call her Xiao Bing."

  "Oh, okay, Uncle Su. Actually, I think Xiaobing is still quite good compared to most girls, and she doesn't have the arrogance of others."

  Gao Fei's mouth was saying words, but his eyes were staring at Su Bei Shan's Adam's apple: Now if I wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as stretching out my hand. However, that would mean silencing Shen Yin Bing and Lao Tong too... That would be too bloody, not in line with my principle of not killing the innocent.

  Su Beishan didn't know that his "future son-in-law" was thinking about how to deal with him at this time. He continued to chatter: "Little Gao, where are you from? What do your parents do? What work do you do? - Hehe, Little Gao, don't blame Uncle Su for being nosy, because you're Xiaobing's boyfriend, I have to understand a bit as an elder."

  "How could I blame Uncle Su for being nosy?"

  Gao Fei's smile faded, and his tone was somewhat subdued as he said, "Uncle Su, to be honest, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."

  Su Beishan raised an eyebrow and looked up at Shen Yinbing who was walking over with a cup of tea: "Oh, what's going on?"

  "Thank you, Little Ice."

  Gao Fei took over the covered cup handed by Shen Yinbing.

  "You're calling me Little Ice?"

  Shen Yin's eyebrows furrowed, but Old Su spoke with a displeased expression: "Xiao Bing, it was I who allowed Xiao Gao to address you in this manner. What, do you think of him as an outsider?"

  "No, no, how could I possibly treat him as an outsider? If I treated him as an outsider, I wouldn't have brought him home. Right, Xiaogao?"

  Shen Yinbing smiled slyly and sat down on the sofa next to Gao Fei, her left hand, which was blocked by her body, twisted around a soft spot on his waist: I'll let you call me Little Ice, or I'll freeze you to death!

  Gao Fei's face twisted in pain: "Ah... Ha!"

  "What's wrong?" asked Su Bei Shan immediately.

  "Oh, it seems like there's a mosquito."

  What Fei said was irrelevant, Shen Yubing looked up at the sky with a strange expression, quickly withdrew his hand and cursed in secret: Bastard, you can pretend, I haven't even started yet!

  Su Beishan looked up: "Are there mosquitoes here?"

  Gao Fei nodded vigorously: "Yes, indeed there are mosquitoes, and it's the big one, but now it has run away."

  "Oh, forget it if he's gone, Xiaogao, you continue."

  Su Beishan inadvertently glanced at his daughter, and a faint smile floated up at the corner of his mouth.

  Although Old Su is over sixty years old, his eyes are still very useful and he has already seen the little movement of his daughter just now, but he pretended to be silly and looked for mosquitoes.

  Young people in front of their elders, the more such small movements are made continuously, the better their relationship is proven.

  This superficial truth, Su Beishan, as a veteran, naturally understood.

  "What did you say?"

  "Uncle Su asked me to talk about myself."

  Gao Fei licked his lips and his tone became heavy again: "Actually, Xiao Bing also knows that I'm an orphan, grew up in an orphanage since childhood, and don't know who my parents are. At the age of 18, I joined the army, after being discharged, I struggled abroad for a few years, and after returning to China, I was lucky enough to be recruited by Shen and Xiao Bing into the Beishan Group, now I'm her dedicated driver."

  What Gao Fei said had already been discussed and rehearsed with Shen Yinbing on the road, so it was spoken without any hesitation.

  Gao Fei said seriously: "Uncle Su, I know that I and Xiao Bing are together is a mismatch. If you think we're not compatible, I can right now..."

  "Xiao Gao, you're thinking too much! I, Su Bei Shan, am not that kind of person who looks down on the poor and fawns over the rich!"

  Su Beishan interrupted Gao Fei's words, also with a serious face: "I asked about your family background, that is my responsibility as a father! But I will not look down on you just because you are an orphan and currently working in my company. Let me tell you something you may not want to hear, your life has been tough, but in my opinion, this is a good thing, so Xiaobing doesn't have to leave me and go live with someone else."

  "I love listening, I love listening, is this true?"

  Gao Fei nodded lightly, but in his heart he was thinking: I didn't expect Old Su to value me so much, unfortunately I still have to kill you.

  "Hmm, you can understand my painstaking efforts, that's the best."

  Lao Su let out a sigh of relief and picked up his teacup: "Xiao Gao, come, have some tea, and see if the flavor of my hidden Dahongpao is good or not."

  "Thank you, Uncle Su."

  Gao Fei politely said a word, picked up his teacup and took a light sip.

  When Gao Fei was drinking tea, Shen Yinbing kept glancing at him secretly.

  When Gao Fei's eyebrows twitched violently, Shen Yinbing's face changed: Had he put too much salt in the food?

  He closed his eyes slightly, and only opened them again after the fragrance of tea had burst forth from the tip of his tongue to every taste bud. Su Beishan then slowly opened his eyes, looking at Gao Fei's gaze with a hint of expectation.

  He hopes to fly high and be able to boast about his good tea.

  Originally, Old Su was not a superficial person who loved to show off, but his daughter had finally brought home a "dragon-riding son-in-law" for him, and in his subconscious mind, he hoped to use his best things to make Gao Fei happy...

  Alas, it's really pitiful for parents all over the world.

  In Old Su's expectant gaze, Gao Fei slowly put down his teacup, smacked his lips, and shook his head in a learned manner, saying: "Good tea, good tea! I won't hide it from you, Uncle Su. When I was in the army, I once visited our battalion commander's home as a guest, and he also brewed me a cup of Da Hong Pao. Although many years have passed since then, I still remember the taste of that cup of tea, which can be said to be lingering on. However, compared to your tea leaves...

  Come on! I'm not flattering you. After drinking your tea, I think our regimental commander's tea is just a three-dollar-per-pack street vendor's goods!

  Old Su was overjoyed: "Then drink more, don't be polite!"

  "I'm not being polite, I won't be polite."

  Under the overwhelming hospitality, Gao Fei had no choice but to pick up his teacup again, with a look of savoring the fine wine.

  Afraid that Old Su would see through the trick, Shen Yubing hastily said: "Dad, Hai Bo called me and said - Gao Fei, can you go to the back first and take a look at those flowers I planted?"

  Shen Yin Bing didn't want Gao Fei to know that his own father might be assassinated, so she made an excuse to let him go see the flowers and distract him.

  Gao Fei hadn't said anything, but Su Beishan waved his hand: "Little Gao, don't go. Little Bing, since Little Gao is now your boyfriend, he's also considered a member of our family. I think he has the right to know about this matter."

  Is this considered one of our family members now? It seems a bit too sudden, doesn't it? —— Shen Yin's eyebrows furrowed, but she let out a soft sigh: "Alright. Dad, what's going on?"

  "It was your Uncle Liu who called to inform me."

  Su Beishan's body slightly leaned towards the sofa.

  Shen Yinbing whispered to Gao Fei: "Uncle Liu is called Liu Changming, the director of the Ji'nan Municipal Bureau, and he has always had a good relationship with my dad."

  Your family's business has grown so big, of course you have to maintain a good relationship with the government. It's always been that way - Gao Fei nodded in understanding.

  Lao Su said in a calm tone: "Director Liu told me on the phone that my name appeared on an international hitman platform called OF, with a bounty of $3 million. In other words, whoever kills me can get that $3 million. Director Liu also said that he had noticed this before, but didn't tell me until now because someone has taken up the bounty..."

  Su Beishan said this in a low voice, his eyes fixed on Gao Fei.

  Gao Fei's face first showed a look of astonishment, followed by horror.

  Shen Yinbing was first angry, then frightened, and finally became angry again.

  After simply saying things, Su Beishan picked up his teacup and drank tea, giving Gao Fei a few minutes to buffer before slowly asking: "Little Gao, how do you see this matter?"

  "Me?"

  Gao Fei stuttered: "I-I think it's best to call the police quickly..."

  "You're crazy!"

  Shen Yinbing bluntly interrupted Gao Fei: "Someone wants to hire a killer to assassinate my dad, this matter was originally said by Director Liu of the Public Security Bureau, the Municipal Bureau has known about it for a long time, do you still need to report it?"

  "Ah, yes, it's indeed this kind of truth."

  Su Beishan glanced at his daughter and slightly furrowed his brow: "Xiao Gao, I'm asking you what you think this means. Not to help think of a solution, but because I want to know... Heh heh, you understand."

  "What do I understand? What do I understand at all?"

  Gao Fei was stunned for half a day before slowly coming to his senses: "Oh, I see. Uncle Su, you're asking me if I'll feel scared when I find out that you've been targeted by an assassin, and then distance myself from Xiao Bing."

  Su Beishan nodded: "Right, Xiao Bing is my daughter. Who can guarantee that those people won't target her in order to assassinate me? To be honest, staying away from Xiao Bing means staying away from danger."

  As soon as Su Bei's words fell, Gao Fei jumped up from the sofa with a loud noise and said excitedly: "Uncle Su, you also underestimate me too much! Although I'm a poor guy, my spirit is not poor. I will never be a turtle hiding in its shell just because someone wants to harm you and Xiao Bing. If I do that, am I still a man?

  "Good!"

  Su Beishan also stood up and patted Gao Fei's shoulder: "You can say that, it proves that Xiao Bing didn't misjudge you!"
