Chapter 103 A Weird Family

"Aren't those punctuation marks you wrote on the draft paper a code for help?"

"Punctuation? Any? Maybe I wrote it down when I was deciding on the code, and I just happened to use the same page of draft paper today."

"You agreed to let me leave your house so easily. This is totally inconsistent with your true thoughts. Didn't you say this deliberately to make me realize that you had no choice?"

"My parents have told you to leave. What other reasons do I have to keep you? Am I pregnant with your child?"

"The box containing the notes you showed me is the same one you used to store the flying claw. Doesn't this imply that there are other people in my room who are monitoring us through surveillance, and at the same time remind me to secretly take away the flying claw and turn off the power to make the surveillance useless?"

"It turns out that the power outage was your fault. Unfortunately, I just happened to put the notes you gave me into that box."

"Then when I said I needed to go to the bathroom and was about to take action, you gave me two apples. Didn't you want me to use them as a weapon to fight back?"

"What gave you the illusion that an apple could be used as a weapon? To be honest, I was always curious about why you brought an apple into the bathroom..."

"..."

Seeing that all his guesses were dismissed lightly by Mo Yixia, Han Zhou was completely stunned and felt like a delusional fool.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked in a tone of despair mixed with expectation: "So... the man on the ground is really your biological father, and not some burglar who broke into your house and robbed you?"

Mo Yixia looked at him as if he were a fool: "What kind of gangster do you think would break into someone else's house in broad daylight without any cover?"

Han Zhou was speechless for a moment, but his expression soon turned into unwillingness.

"No, there are still doubts!"

He struggled desperately, "Why do you have to pretend that your mother is not at home when she is clearly in the bedroom across the street?"

Han Zhou still didn't think his judgment was wrong. This guy couldn't possibly be Mo Yixia's father.

If everything he just said was just the cause of his suspicion of the man who claimed to be Mo Yixia's father, then the fact that Jiang Baiqian hid in her bedroom and called him and claimed that she was outside was the key to linking all the suspicions together.

He had sensed something was wrong as early as when he made that phone call.

Jiang Baiqian's tone was quite nervous at the time. Compared with other emotions, this nervousness seemed to come from fear, which aroused Han Zhou's suspicion at the first moment.

He had actually been suspicious for a long time, but he had never thought about it in such a bizarre direction.

The shoes at the door were the pair that Jiang Baiqian often wore when going out, but she left them at home today. So he had an inexplicable guess and suspected that the other party might be at home at this moment. So he changed his status without hesitation, relying on the "obey fate" to strengthen his hearing, and listened to the movements in the entire room at the first time.

To his surprise, Jiang Baiqian's voice really came from a closed bedroom, but there was no sound after the call, as if she was deliberately keeping silent, or was forced to remain silent for some reason.

Not only that, Han Zhou heard other noises in the bedroom. Although he couldn't be sure, he still suspected that there might be another person in the room.

At the same time, he naturally thought of the women's slippers worn by the man who claimed to be Mo Yixia's father, which was also a strange and suspicious point.

How could a grown man not have his own men's slippers at home? Even if he liked women's slippers, he should choose ones that fit his feet. Combined with the bad attitude of this guy who wanted to drive him away as soon as they met, Han Zhou instantly had a very bold guess in his mind -

Just this morning, two daring bandits suddenly broke into Mo Yixia's home, and used violence to control the mother and daughter at the first opportunity, preparing to interrogate the whereabouts of their property.

This was a sudden home robbery. Mo Yixia and her friend knew that it would be difficult to resist, so they had to compromise temporarily and secretly seek ways to save themselves.

And just at this moment, the hope in their eyes and the uninvited guest in the eyes of the bandits - the young and inexperienced Han Zhou came to their door.

The sudden visitor caught the two gangsters by surprise, which affected their plan. So they hurriedly asked the mother and daughter who was knocking on the door. After learning that the other party was Mo Yixia's tutor and that they would be suspected if they did not open the door, the two gangsters immediately made a plan to pretend to be Mo Yixia's father and drive him away to avoid any further trouble.

So the two of them divided the tasks. One gangster pulled the mother Jiang Baiqian into the bedroom and controlled her, threatening her daughter Mo Yixia who was outside to cooperate with their actions. The other gangster pretended to be Mo Yixia's father and tried to send Han Zhou away directly.

Since they were intruders in the house, they were naturally unfamiliar with everything and could not find men's slippers for a while. They had to hurriedly put on a pair of ill-fitting women's slippers and pretend to have just woken up.

Who knew Han Zhou was such a stubborn fool that he broke into the house without explanation. The two gangsters were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they had to implement plan B, intending to drive him away through the mother and daughter. That's when Jiang Baiqian called from the bedroom...

This is roughly what Han Zhou guessed. Although many details don't make sense, the general logic still makes sense.

There was really no other way. Mo Yixia didn't say anything, so he could only think so.

That's right...two daring gangsters.

In Han Zhou's opinion, this was the real reason why Mo Yixia used quotation marks to ask for help!

And he quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

It is risky to deal with two people at the same time. Even with his current physical condition, he cannot guarantee success. After all, the other party may have a weapon in his hand, and he also has Jiang Baiqian as a hostage. So he cannot be reckless. He can only take it step by step and defeat them one by one.

Considering that one of the gangsters was probably in the bedroom using Jiang Baiqian's cell phone to monitor himself and Mo Yixia outside, the first thing he had to do was to disable the surveillance, and then kill the man pretending to be Mo Yixia's father before the people in the bedroom could react. Then he would pretend to leave and wait for the other gangster to go out to check and then ambush and subdue him.

Well, it's a perfect plan.

In order to ensure that his judgment was correct, Han Zhou listened in the toilet for almost three minutes, and only took action after confirming that there were only two gangsters at most.

He first used the same trick again, using the grappling hook that he had secretly taken out from the box containing the notebooks not long ago to turn off the power switch. Then he broke into the study as soon as the surveillance became ineffective, and threw an apple with the "powerful throw" skill, instantly knocking out the man in the study.

The action is also perfect.

Up to this point, Han Zhou was always quite satisfied with his actions until Mo Yixia spoke.

She actually claimed that the man in the study was indeed her father, not some burglar!

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue to Han Zhou. If it was true, then he had undoubtedly made a big mistake.

After getting affirmative answers from Mo Yixia again and again, Han Zhou was dumbfounded. Looking at the unconscious man on the ground, although he still felt strange, he had begun to consider whether he should run away now, in case the other party woke up and came to settle the score with him.

His original intention was to subdue the criminals. It would be funny if he was arrested as a criminal by the police...

After listening to Han Zhou's mental journey, Mo Yixia clapped her hands gently and exclaimed: "You have a very rich imagination, no wonder you indulge yourself too much."

"Is there any connection between the two things you mentioned?"

After learning that he had made a mistake, Han Zhou sighed and said, "It's over. I'm in trouble now, but I took this risk for you. You have to explain it to me when the time comes."

He didn't want to pass the blame on others, he just hoped that Mo Yixia could help him explain the misunderstanding so as not to make things worse.

With self-media rampant these days, he really doesn't want to see outrageous headlines like "Shocking, evil intentions! In order to get both mother and daughter, a man shot and killed the girl's biological father" when he goes online tomorrow.

But he still felt strange. Why didn't the guy on the ground look like Mo Yixia's biological father? Apart from anything else, there was no similarity in appearance.

He suspected that Mo Yixia was deceiving him. After all, she still hadn't explained Jiang Baiqian's situation. However, as she said, since this guy dared to show up in broad daylight, he was obviously not a gangster...

Looking at Han Zhou's sad face, Mo Yixia did not say anything to comfort him, but asked curiously: "Hey, are you willing to take the risk and fight the criminals for me?"

"Otherwise, doesn't the title mean come and save the princess?"

Han Zhou used the old method. He knew that playing the victim would make Mo Yixia soft-hearted and tell the truth, so he sighed and said in a sad voice, "I remember everything you said. It doesn't matter if I suffer for you, but this time you have to take at least half the blame. Hey, why did you write such random punctuation marks..."

Mo Yixia suddenly moved her face closer, stared into his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Do you mean to admit that I am your princess?"

"Your hat is almost poking my face."

Han Zhou stepped back and said helplessly, "You have to understand the main point. The most important issue now is how I should apologize to your parents when the time comes."

Mo Yixia turned her baseball cap and moved the brim to the back of her head. After thinking about it, she took off the hat and put it on the other person's head.

"What are you doing?"

Han Zhou looked at her in confusion, with a somewhat surprised expression.

He had seen Mo Yixia without a mask many times, but this was the first time he had seen Mo Yixia without a baseball cap.

How should I put it? There is a feeling that I can’t quite put into words.

"It's because of you that the power went out in the room, so the air conditioner can't be used temporarily. It's too hot to keep wearing the hat. Can you help me put it on first?"

Han Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy was still messing around at this time. "If you feel too hot, why don't you just take it off and put it aside? And do you think I won't feel hot?"

As he spoke, he was about to pretend to take off his hat, but Mo Yixia's next words stopped him.

"As long as you are willing to wear your hat properly, I can tell you the truth in exchange."

Han Zhou knew that this guy had not told the truth just now, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'll put it on, you can talk."

"That's not enough, you still have to answer my previous question." Mo Yixia said slowly.

"what is the problem?"

"Am I your princess?"

Han Zhou actually guessed what this guy wanted to ask, and sighed, "Yes, yes, but Your Highness, I got into trouble for you anyway. Do you have the heart to play tricks on me like this?"

"You obviously know that what I just said was not true, so how can you say it was a joke?"

Mo Yixia lifted her long hair. She actually just wanted to see Han Zhou's dumbfounded expression because it was very interesting. She had no intention of lying to him. "Although I know you don't sincerely treat me as a princess, I can still tell you the truth."

"First of all, the guy lying here is certainly not my father."

Han Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew it... Then who is he?"

Mo Yixia did not answer, but said: "In fact, most of your previous guesses are true. Punctuation marks are indeed used to ask for help, but I mainly wanted to take this opportunity to see the tacit understanding between you and me. It turns out that we seem to have too much tacit understanding. I was not surprised when I saw you knock him out."

"I don't know whether to say that we are both naive, or that the test you asked me to do yesterday is more accurate."

A test for telepathy?

Han Zhou wondered, "Since most of my guesses are true, then what is false?"

He still hasn't figured out the situation.

Mo Yixia said: "These two people are indeed the gangsters who broke into my house, but they are probably not real gangsters, but my father hired them to pretend to be gangsters."

Han Zhou was able to remain calm when he heard the first part, but he was dumbfounded when he heard the second part: "What the hell? Did your dad find it?"

Is this a special hobby?

"That's right. My mom might not have noticed it, but I found out right from the beginning. They came in directly with the key. And besides my mom and I, my dad is the only one who has the key to my house."

"unbelievable……"

Han Zhou was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. "Your father hired fake gangsters to break into your house? What was his purpose?"

Mo Yixia shook her head and said, “I don’t know either, how about you guess?”

Han Zhou couldn't think of anything either, so he laughed dryly and said, "It can't be that he's trying to be a hero and save a beautiful girl..."

Mo Yixia didn't say anything, her eyes showing a thoughtful look.

Han Zhou was stunned: "No way, is he really a hero saving a beauty?"

"Really?!"

He began to doubt the mental state of Mo Yixia's father.
