Chapter 1222: A Talk between Father and Daughter
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
” En , I already know. Wang Kejin has already reported.” Wang Songshan did not mention about Tombstone’s matter; the matter of tracking Wang Xiaoyan was a secret, so Wang Songshan directly said that Wang Kejin told him, not Tombstone. However, this was not out of place because Wang Kejin had to be responsible to the assassin group. If there were a problem, it must definitely be reported to the assassin group.
“He… has already said it?” Wang Xiaoyan’s heart was subconsciously surprised. Since Wang Kejin has already talked, then he definitely mentioned about Yang Ming, but Father’s tone… does not seem to be interrogative, right ? This made Wang Xiaoyan slightly confused.
“Yes,” Wang Songshan said. “Even if you didn’t call me, I will call you.”
“Then…” Wang Xiaoyan, who was full of confidence, was somewhat guilty at the moment without knowing why. She wanted to tell her father about the matters of Yang Ming herself, but now, her father must have known it earlier, but why didn’t her father mention it?
“You have a boyfriend in Song Jiang?” When Wang Songshan saw Wang Xiaoyan stuttering, how could he not figure out Wang Xiaoyan’s heart at the moment? Fathers know their daughters best. Wang Xiaoyan probably called back this time, intending to tell everything to him. It’s just that he got the news from Tombstone in advance, so Wang Xiaoyan didn’t know how to speak up.
Since Wang Xiaoyan didn’t know how to speak up, then Wang Songshan simply spoke first. Anyway, he was very much in favor of Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming being together. Even if Wang Xiaoyan wanted to break up with Yang Ming, Wang Songshan would not agree. It was just that this couldn’t be said.
Although Wang Songshan was old now, who didn’t have a child’s temper? Previously, when his daughter left home without any regards, leaving him in an awkward position, Wang Songshan was very angry. Although he also understood Wang Xiaoyan’s difficulties, Wang Xiaoyan’s approach was really extreme. Therefore, at this moment, when there was an opportunity to scare Wang Xiaoyan, Wang Songshan still had to seize it.
Of course, this was only a secondary reason. The main reason was that Fang Tian didn’t reveal anything to Yang Ming. How could Wang Songshan reveal it first? It was better to let the two kids develop naturally. On the contrary, if their identities were mentioned beforehand, it would not be as perfect. If the relationship between the two people were affected, he would be condemned as a sinner in history.
” Ah …” Wang Xiaoyan was shocked. Although she had already guessed that her father had already known about Yang Ming, she couldn’t help but be surprised to hear her father say it at the moment.
“Don’t be surprised. Wang Kejin’s mission is to assassinate a man named Yang Ming and his girlfriend.” Wang Songshan said calmly, “However, the assassination happened on you. Can I not figure out your relationship with Yang Ming? Could it be that I made a mistake? Are you two just ordinary friends?”
“No! Dad, you are not mistaken!” Wang Xiaoyan couldn’t wholly deny it this time. If she denied it, Wang Songshan would also find it inappropriate to continue to expose her, then this matter would be covered up. However, Wang Xiaoyan nodded and admitted, “He is my boyfriend; we are together already!”
” Oh ? It really is so.” After Wang Songshan heard it, he said faintly, “However, someone promised me that she would peacefully finish her high school and college outside, and come back to get married! She would never get a boyfriend outside. Was I mistaken?”
Wang Xiaoyan’s face suddenly became red. She indeed said these ambitious words when she left home. Now when she thought about it, she had gone back on her words. How could Wang Xiaoyan’s face not turn red?
“I…” Wang Xiaoyan was awkward for a moment, but then said, “But I also said that as long as I can build a world’s number one assassin group before the marriage, I can refuse to marry that person and pursue my own life!”
” En , you did say it.” Wang Songshan nodded. “But did you create the world’s number one assassin group?”
“I…” Wang Xiaoyan was suddenly at a loss for words. Indeed, she had not created the world’s first assassin group. So, in theory, Wang Xiaoyan did not have the right to free love.
“The Black Butterfly Assassin Group that you made, I have seen it. Not bad. You can actually go to Africa to complete the special mission.” Wang Songshan smiled, “Yanyan, you did a good job. This is the first time that Dad is impressed with you!”
“You knew?” Wang Xiaoyan was a little surprised. Her father actually knew that her assassin group was renamed to the Black Butterfly Assassin Group. But after thinking about it, it was understandable. The name change was announced on the World Assassin platform. So, as long as her father read the announcement, he would know that the current Black Butterfly Assassin Group was created by her.
” Hehe , I have read the announcement. Of course, I would know.” Wang Songshan seemed to be in a really good mood. “So, I won’t say much about you having a boyfriend, but I want to remind you that although the Black Butterfly Assassin Group has now improved and has entered the top fifty, if you’re going to exceed our Butterfly Family, you have to invest a lot in it!
“Don’t be too happy. The higher the ranking, the harder it is to break through. This is why our Butterfly Family has not surpassed the King of Assassins for many years. When he performs a mission, it will top the hundreds of ordinary missions that we do.
“You see, the Charles family always wanted to surpass us, but they always lacked a little. For so many years, they still lacked a little! This point determines the fundamental gap!”
“Dear Dad, I wanted to tell you a very unfortunate thing.” Wang Xiaoyan listened to her father’s words, and suddenly she was dissatisfied. “The Charles Family has decided to cooperate with our Black Butterfly Assassin Group!”
“What? Charles Family? Cooperate with you? What do you mean?” Wang Songshan was stunned, and he immediately said in surprise. He did not hear of this news before. After all, Tombstone did not follow Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming to Europe, so he did not know what happened to them there. When he heard the news, he was extremely shocked.
“The Charles Family is ready to entrust the Black Butterfly Assassin Group with their assassin group, and we are responsible for their operation. Old Charles only wanted a portion of the dividend every year.” Wang Xiaoyan said, somewhat proudly. These were all done by Yang Ming, but in any case, Yang Ming was her man. So, in Wang Xiaoyan’s opinion, it was just like she had done it herself.
“Yanyan… Is everything you said true?” Wang Songshan listened to Wang Xiaoyan’s words and widened his eyes. He didn’t expect it. Is Old Charles crazy? How could he hand over the big assassin group to a new and unknown Black Butterfly Assassin Group to operate? This is unfathomable. How is this possible?
“Of course, it is true!” Wang Xiaoyan said affirmatively. Although Wang Xiaoyan did not hear it from Old Charles, these were told by Yang Ming; Yang Ming would not lie to her, so Wang Xiaoyan was very sure about it.
“Old Charles… He handed the assassin group to you to operate?” Wang Songshan still didn’t believe it. “Yanyan, you didn’t lie to Dad, right? This is no time to joke!”
“Dad, I really didn’t lie to you. In a few days, we have to go to Europe to talk about this with the Charles Family.” Wang Xiaoyan explained dumbfoundedly. It was reasonable that her Father would not believe it. When Wang Xiaoyan first heard the news, she was also shocked and inexplicable. It took her half a day to accept this fact. If it were not for the trust she had in Yang Ming, maybe Wang Xiaoyan would still not believe it now!
“Yanyan, I still don’t believe it. Why did Old Charles entrust with you his assassin group? You should know, Black Butterfly is just a newly established assassin group…” asked Wang Songshan.
“There is a reason why Old Charles gave us the assassin group to manage.” Wang Xiaoyan explained, “Old Charles’ son, Charles, is a racer. I believe that you know about this too?”
“I know this!” Wang Songshan said, “The kid seems to be unwilling to inherit his family business. He wants to be some racing driver. He actually got himself famous… It seems that he and Old Charles agreed that as long as he won the world championship in racing, he can live his own life… Ai, every family has their own difficult experience, Yanyan, I have found out now that you are stronger than that Little Charles!”
“Of course!” Wang Xiaoyan snorted. “At the very least, I still like the assassin profession! This is the reason I wanted to mention. Old Charles’ age is getting older and older, and no one in the family can manage the business. Little Charles is not willing to inherit the family business, so he can only hand over the assassin group… and get some bonus every year.”
“It’s like this…” Wang Songshan nodded after listening, but he still had some doubts. “But, you are just a newly established assassin group. Although it is growing fast, there is no reason for Old Charles to be convinced, right? If he wanted to entrust someone with it, he should entrust it to some of the top-ranking assassin groups…”
Wait ! Speaking of this, Wang Songshan suddenly thought of something, and patted his head and asked, “Yanyan, could it be that you told Old Charles that you are my daughter? You revealed the identity of the Butterfly Family?”
“No…” Wang Xiaoyan smiled bitterly. “I said it when I left home. I don’t want to rely on the power of the family. I want to make a career with my own ability! Of course, I will not tell the identity of the Butterfly Family! However, it was Yang Ming who discussed with Old Charles about this matter… I don’t know the details. Right, Dad, I haven’t told you yet, right? Yang Ming is also an assassin, and he is very powerful!”
Wang Songshan certainly knew that Yang Ming was an assassin. However, listening to Wang Xiaoyan’s words, he was a bit surprised. It turned out that Old Charles’ matters were settled by Yang Ming. It seemed that the disciple of Fang Tian was also a talented one!
“I have already guessed it. Wang Kejin also said it before. Yang Ming knows Kung Fu.” Wang Songshan naturally would not say that he had long known the identity of Yang Ming, but instead, he pushed the responsibility to Wang Kejin. “Which organization does he belong to?”
“He doesn’t belong to any organization; he’s a kind of freelance killer.” Wang Xiaoyan said, “Many things happened between him and me. So… Dad, you are not against us?”
“To tell the truth, I was still against it before, but when I heard from you that he actually acquired Old Charles’ business; he is indeed a talent.” Wang Songshan said, “However, no objection does not mean approval. Everything still relies on your strength. If within the stipulated time, you have not made the Black Butterfly Assassin Group the world’s number one, then you still have to come back and get engaged to the apprentice of the King of Assassins.”
Although Wang Xiaoyan did not get a satisfactory answer, now her father’s attitude was a far cry from the past. This made Wang Xiaoyan’s heart still relieved.
“How did he do it?” Wang Songshan did not continue on this topic, but he asked.
“I also don’t know; I didn’t ask. We just came back from Europe after performing a mission.” Wang Xiaoyan said, “I just wanted to tell you about our affairs. I really like him… or I love him…”
“Yanyan, are you sure you fell in love with him?” Wang Songshan wished that Wang Xiaoyan would fall in love with Yang Ming.
“I am sure!” Wang Xiaoyan said affirmatively.
“Well, then you have to grasp it yourself. I won’t express any opinions now.” Wang Songshan said, “Let’s have an early rest. I have to call Old Charles and ask him what is going on.”
“Okay.” What Wang Xiaoyan said was true. She was not afraid that her father would go and seek evidence. It was better for him to go find proof.
When Wang Xiaoyan hung up, Yang Ming came over. When Wang Xiaoyan and her father talked on the phone, it was inconvenient for Yang Ming to listen by the side. So when the phone was connected, Yang Ming walked away.
“How did it go? Yanyan?” asked Yang Ming.
“My father, he didn’t say anything about us. He didn’t support it, nor did he approve of it. In short, let’s improve the assassin group as soon as possible,” said Wang Xiaoyan.
“It’s fine. We still have time, right?” Yang Ming didn’t feel anything in his heart. If worst comes to worst, he could just reveal his identity and tell Wang Xiaoyan’s father that he was the apprentice of the King of Assassins which was the future world’s number one. In this way, the Black Butterfly Assassin Group would become the organization of the King of Assassins, and it would naturally become the world’s number one.
“Yeah, we still have time!” Wang Xiaoyan listened to Yang Ming’s words, and her courage was boosted. “If worst comes to worst, I will just get pregnant with your child. See what my dad can do!”
“He will kill you!” Yang Ming was shocked after he heard it. He didn’t expect Wang Xiaoyan to make such a bold move! Never mind Wang Xiaoyan’s father; any father would go crazy after hearing that his unmarried daughter got pregnant with someone else during college. This was especially true for big families like Wang Xiaoyan’s family.
“That is a corpse and two lives, as long as he can do it!” Wang Xiaoyan laughed indifferently. “At that time, he also can’t help it; he can only accept the reality!”
“That’s also true.” Anyway, Yang Ming still had a trick up his sleeve, so he was not worried at the moment.
“Yeah, let’s work hard now…” Wang Xiaoyan said as she wrapped her arms around Yang Ming’s neck and whispered in his ear.
“Work hard for what…” Yang Ming was aroused by Wang Xiaoyan, but he still asked.
“Get pregnant with your child…” Wang Xiaoyan winked.
……
Wang Songshan naturally wouldn’t mind this. Even if Wang Xiaoyan were pregnant with Yang Ming’s child, Wang Songshan would only be happier.
Dialing the phone of Old Charles, Wang Songshan quietly waited for his answer. Although Wang Songshan and Old Charles were the second and third on the assassin ranking list, they had a good relationship with each other. Because they were both in Europe and were both Chinese, they usually called each other to greet each other.
“Is it Butler Zhou? Please transfer to Mr. Charles. I am Wang Songshan.” Wang Songshan said on the phone.
“Is it Mr. Wang of the Butterfly Family? Hi, Butler Zhou has retired. I am the person who took over his position; my surname is Zhang.” The man on the other side said respectfully.
“So it’s Butler Zhang. Hi.” Wang Songshan didn’t expect Butler Zhou to retire.
“Mr. Wang, please wait for a moment. I have already transferred your call to Mr. Charles’ room,” said Butler Zhang.
After a while, the voice of Old Charles came to the phone. “Hello? Is it Songshan?”
“It’s me,” said Wang Songshan. “Old Charles, I heard that you want to hand over your assassin group to someone else to manage?”
“You know already?” Old Charles didn’t think it was strange because he had already guessed the relationship between Wang Xiaoyan and the Butterfly Family. Therefore, there was nothing unusual about Wang Songshan knowing about it. “Your daughter said it, right?”
“Yes. Do you know about Yanyan’s matters?” Wang Songshan was a little surprised. Old Charles actually knew about Wang Xiaoyan’s matters.
“I guessed it, but it had not been confirmed. The person who came to talk to me didn’t know the identity of Wang Xiaoyan, so I didn’t ask much.” Old Charles said, “However, I remember that your daughter seems to be Wang Xiaoyan.”
“That is Yanyan’s boyfriend.” Wang Songshan said, “However, I am very puzzled. You actually handed the assassin group for them to handle?”
“Is this not wise?” Old Charles laughed.
“That’s not it, but Yanyan is still a child. Although she has made a name for herself…” Wang Songshan said halfway, but he was interrupted by Old Charles.
“No, no!” Old Charles waved his hand, “Could it be that you don’t know? Yanyan’s boyfriend, Yang Ming, is a descendant of the King of Assassins, Fang Tian.”
” Ah ? You also know?” Wang Songshan was shocked and immediately understood that Old Charles was eyeing this.
“Of course, I know. If I didn’t know, how can I entrust the assassin group to him? And I am also interested in this!” Old Charles said, “I am not as lucky as you; you found a good son-in-law. My son does not live up to my expectations; he does not want to come back to inherit the assassin group. I can only entrust the assassin group to others to operate. Or else, what can I do?”
No wonder! Wang Songshan suddenly realized that after learning about Yang Ming’s life, Old Charles was assured to entrust the assassin group to Yang Ming.
