Chapter 69: Your Dad Is Still Your Dad
The words shone like a blinding spotlight, searing across the entire hallway and into the eyes of everyone watching the livestream.
[WTF hahahahaha I was laughing so hard in the cafeteria the chef almost threw me into the wok]
[On the surface: Luo Fan, the sweet multi-talented puppy idol. In reality: Luo Fan, the guy who literally prints “I’m badass” on his underwear!]
[Ninety million people across the internet are currently watching your red shame, bro.]
[Lil bro’s traumatized: “Wait… my big brother is this kind of freak?!”]
Luo Zichuan’s first reaction was to throw himself in front of Chi Qian, shielding her eyes.
Chi Qian gave a dramatic “oooh,” then read it aloud: “Luo Fan, Number One Badass Under Heaven? Number one in what? Badass at what?”
“What is this, the kind of ‘number one badass’ who wears red underwear on his head and robs banks for fun?”
“You—you shut up!” Luo Fan yanked up his waistband, mortified, wanting to jump into the ocean and disappear.
Chi Qian: “Come on, hiding your badassery under your pants? How’s anyone supposed to see it? You should take a page from Superman—wear it on the outside! Bold, confident, embrace yourself!”
“Hahahahahahahahaha!”
Luo Fan cracked. “You’re the devil, aren’t you?! Stop laughing!!!”
Losing the game was one thing, but public humiliation like this was unbearable.
And Chi Qian’s smug laughter was enough to make him cough blood.
Luo Zichuan patted his shoulder: “Don’t worry, bro. Just blink once, blink twice—this life will be over before you know it.”
Luo Fan: “…”
Where’s the nearest window? The nearest ocean?!
Chi Qian, ignoring his fragile idol dignity, tied him up and gagged him with a rag—without even letting him pull his pants up first.
Luo Fan was humiliated beyond words. At least give him the dignity of covering himself, damn it!
Meanwhile, Luo Zichuan willingly stretched out his hands, volunteering to be tied.
Just then, Gu Hua’s voice rang out: “Chi Qian! Let Senior Luo and Zichuan go!”
“You’re surrounded!” added Ling Qian.
Chi Qian looked at their numbers and smirked. “Just the two of you, talking that big? Anyone would think you brought a whole truck of backup dancers.”
“What if we add this?”
Gu Hua and Ling Qian raised their shotguns at the same time.
Chi Qian finished tying up Luo Zichuan and tossed him aside. “Then come on, try me.”
She dashed toward the stairwell, hopped onto the railing, and slid down like she was on a roller coaster.
“Woohoo! Not bad, actually kind of fun.”
Gu Hua leaned over from above, aiming down at her, voice confident: “Chi Qian, stop struggling. You’re going to lose eventually—might as well surrender now.”
“Don’t shout at me like that. I’ve been scared of dogs since I was a kid.”
“I think you won’t cry until you see your coffin. I have a gun—what do you have to fight me with?”
“Just the fact that I’m your dad, and I can pull out moves you can’t even imagine.”
Gu Hua choked on her words, then fired off several shots.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Chi Qian flipped off the railing mid-slide, dodged the last paintball, and landed smoothly without breaking a sweat.
Too easy. None of them could touch her.
Ling Qian untied Luo Fan to get him back in the fight.
He didn’t even bother with Luo Zichuan—of course the little brother would side with Chi Qian anyway.
The three of them charged down the stairs together.
Chi Qian reached the hall, only to discover—every single exit door had been locked from the outside.
“Run! Why aren’t you running anymore?” Ling Qian mocked.
Chi Qian glanced back at the people closing in, then smiled faintly.
She unlocked the cage behind her.
“Honk honk.”
“Hooonk!”
A series of unsettling cries echoed from inside.
The next second, a flock of white underworld thugs—geese—charged straight at Gu Hua and the others!
Gu Hua’s face went pale. “G–Geese?!”
“Why the hell are there geese here?!”
“Ahhh! Don’t peck my butt! Get away!!”
“Help, get them off meee—!”
Everyone knows geese are the ultimate village bullies, with combat power rivaling crocodiles. Tigers and elephants are nothing compared to them.
One goose is already hard enough to deal with. But a whole flock?
Gu Hua’s group was chased in total panic, running around like headless chickens, their butts and foreheads covered in lumps.
The trap they set for Chi Qian had backfired spectacularly on themselves.
From the staircase, Chi Qian watched their miserable state, gave a whistle, and smirked.
“You can be as strong as you want—but let’s see how tough you are against my geese.”
[HAHAHAHA I’m crying, how does she weaponize any animal she finds?!]
[Goose Army: Full assault! Defend our princess’s honor! CHAAARGE!]
[Sister Qian: I’m always the one causing trouble, never the one taking it. (Cool~)]
[Ouch, their butts are done for. I can feel the pain through the screen.]
Amid the chaos of feathers and shrieks, Chi Qian gave another whistle, and the geese calmed down instantly.
Never in their lives had Gu Hua’s group imagined they’d get jumped and pummeled by a flock of geese.
Their butts burned, their limbs went numb, their vision blurred—it felt like they were seeing the staircase to heaven itself.
“Honkkk?” The lead goose looked at Chi Qian, as if asking: Boss, should we stew them? I heard everything tastes good in a pot.
Chi Qian: True, but goose stew is the real delicacy.
The goose: Then you can eat us too… humans were always gonna cook us anyway QAQ.
Chi Qian turned to Gu Hua’s group. “Whoever’s holding the golden identity card, hand it over. I’ll let that person off.”
“Not me!” Luo Fan blurted. “I haven’t even seen the damn thing!”
His sweatpants were already loose. A few more pecks from these geese and he’d be running around naked.
Ling Qian’s face was twisted with rage. “Not on me either.”
“Same here!” Gu Hua’s eyes reddened. “Qian Qian, call them off already! It’s just a game—you don’t need to bully us like this!”
“When you were pointing guns at me, weren’t you pretty arrogant?” Chi Qian smiled. “Anyone who didn’t know better would think you were a pencil case—you sure can hold a lot of pens.”
Ling Qian ground his teeth. “Don’t get cocky, Chi Qian. Let’s see how long you can laugh. I’ll get even with you sooner or later!”
Chi Qian shoved her hands into her pockets. “Mm-hmm, sure, you’re the best, you’re the coolest. My family pig still isn’t as wild as you.”
Ling Qian: “…”
[In the end, hunter or prey—it all depends on sister Qian’s mood.]
[Why does everyone think they can sass their way past her?]
[Gu Hua earlier: Admit defeat, you’ll never win against me. Gu Hua now: It’s just a game, don’t take it so far!]
[No matter what tricks you use, your dad’s still your dad.]
Chi Qian left the goose army to guard them and headed upstairs to hunt down the rest.
Before long, Wen Li was also captured.
“Miss Chi, can you please explain to Xin Xin for me? I really know I was wrong, but she refuses to even talk to me.” Wen Li begged.
Chi Qian swiftly tied her up. “No. You deserve this.”
And with that, she left without hesitation.
Now, only one hunter remained.
Chi Qian reached the third floor and spotted her uncle on the deck from afar.
“Uncle! Uncle!” she waved.
Chi Fengxiao turned, saw her, and instantly bolted!
Chi Qian: “???”
He was the hunter. She was the prey. Why was he running??
