Chapter 98 of "A Little Trick, the Scumbag Dad Can't Hold the Knife After Understanding Love" kicks off with action-packed scenes: The next day, Chen Mo's subordinates noticed that, unlike his usual reluctance to cooperate with... Discover more!

The next day, Chen Mo's subordinates noticed that, unlike his usual reluctance to cooperate with medical treatments, he was exceptionally compliant today. He even took the unprecedented initiative to ask the doctor in charge of him, "When will I be able to use the medication next time?" The medication here referred to the one that allowed him to temporarily walk. Although Chen Mo's legs weren't paralyzed, due to certain reasons, they would often suddenly lose sensation. However, as the head of the Chen Family, he couldn't let the outside world know about his physical condition. Thus, for occasions that required his presence, he would inject himself, which allowed him to walk for an extended period. But the side effects of the injection were severe, so he only used it when absolutely necessary. The doctor examined his legs and pondered for a moment, "It'll be a few days." Chen Mo nodded. Although he had already predicted this, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment. Although he wanted to immediately rush to the Ji Family to take Ji Nian away, the current situation didn't allow it. First, he lacked evidence. Second, his physical condition was a factor. Taking advantage of these few days, he needed to clarify his thoughts, find a way to conduct a paternity test to prove his relationship with Ji Nian, and re-investigate the past events while also focusing on recuperating his health. Moreover, he was worried that his weakened immune system might transmit something to Ji Nian. ... Ji Nian sneezed. Startling Shen Qingtang, who immediately turned to look at her, "Are your hands hurting?" "Do you want to rest for a while?" Seeing Shen Qingtang's nervous expression, Ji Nian smiled wryly, "It's nothing, just a tickle in my nose." On the day she went missing, Shen Qingtang was scared out of her mind. She had also heard about the mysterious drink, but at the time, she was enjoying playing with the eye drops that changed Ji Nian's eye color and didn't bother to join in the excitement. Gu Xiuyuan was the same. As a result, while they were preoccupied with their own fun, the school was suddenly surrounded by security teams, and when Shen Qingtang turned around, she realized that Ji Nian hadn't returned. She was so scared that she cried, all the while remaining alert enough to send a message to Ji Tingzhou via her watch, and also to Gu Xiuyuan, asking if he knew where Ji Nian was. Gu Xiuyuan, who was also under strict protection, saw Shen Qingtang's message and immediately applied to leave school to look for Ji Nian. However, his request was denied by the teacher. Under such crucial circumstances, no matter the reason, they couldn't allow the children to leave under their watchful eyes. Everything had to be left to the adults. It wasn't until several hours later that the school finally allowed the parents to enter, verifying their identities before letting the children go. Later, Shen Qingtang learned that all the missing children had returned, except for Ji Nian. She was so upset that she couldn't focus on her homework. After being picked up and taken home, she anxiously waited for news until late at night. When Shen Qingtang, her eyes swollen like walnuts, finally saw Ji Nian return unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her friend, crying for a long time. Although the news was suppressed, it still caused panic within a small circle. The school decided to take a few days off to clean up the mess and improve security measures. With no school to attend, the two children stayed home and played with Lego blocks. "Are you sure you don't need to rest?" She genuinely wanted to uncover the identity of the person behind it, so she wasn't entirely lying. Recognizing that Ji Nian wasn't telling the full truth but couldn't find any loopholes, Ji Tingzhou gazed at her with an inscrutable expression, ending with a cryptic, "Is that so?" Ji ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍Nian nodded. Then, with a mixture of truth and half-truths, she tugged at his sleeve, "Isn't the sound therapist coming soon? Let's go downstairs, Dad." Ji Tingzhou stared at her for a moment before finally standing up and pulling the child up gently, "Alright, let's go." This signified that he wouldn't pursue the matter further. Ji Nian quietly hooked her lips, resuming her innocent and carefree expression as she looked up again. A few days later, it was reported that Tuka, the alleged boss of Vengeance and the mastermind behind this operation, had been captured. Many criminal suspects had identified him, but unfortunately, he had apparently undergone some ordeal, leaving him as a complete imbecile. After a check-up, it was also discovered that his insides were a rotting mess, and the fact that he was still alive was nothing short of a miracle. When Gu Xiuyuan came to visit Ji Nian, she was busy planting flowers with Ji Tingzhou. Ji Tingzhou wore a khaki-colored apron that matched the color of his outfit and a sun hat. He directed people to shovel soil, only sticking his hands in to scatter seeds, then promptly disinfecting his fingers with a wet wipe. Next to him, also dressed in a khaki-colored apron and wearing a sun hat, Ji Nian found his behavior of merely participating without much effort quite familiar. After all, Ji Tingzhou, who had always preferred drinking and sleeping, had been busy like a spinning top recently, so it was understandable that he would take a break when he could. That's right, a prince should be this precious! Bending down, Ji Nian used her small shovel to dig into the soil with her uninjured hand, accidentally getting dirt on herself. Before her dad noticed, she stealthily smeared some on the hem of his pants. Then, she turned her head nonchalantly, pretending nothing had happened. "Is this enough?" After planting, Ji Tingzhou turned to ask the gardener beside him, who nodded, "Yes, Sir Ji, that's all." In fact, Ji Tingzhou had no real interest in such activities, but the parenting manual suggested that engaging in parent-child activities was beneficial for a child's growth. Flicking a glance at the child beside him digging in the dirt with his behind sticking up, Ji Tingzhou satisfactorily withdrew his gaze. It really is beneficial. Look, he's having such a great time playing with the mud. Standing up, he took the towel handed to him by the servant and glanced at the time. It was almost time for the latest episode of "Hopeless Dad" to air. As soon as he stepped inside, the servant came to report that the Gu Family's young master had arrived. Shen Qingtang was playing tennis with her tennis coach, so it was only Ji Nian who was free. Seeing a girl taking the initiative to give flowers, this was something his grandmother had taught him. Until the door slowly opened in front of him, Gu Xiuyuan stood even more straight. He directly spoke: "Ji Nian, you—" The words behind that, however, stopped abruptly when he met a pair of green eyes that were deeper and more experienced than Ji Nian's. Even though Ji Tingzhou and Ji Nian looked very similar, he was terrifying. Although the corner of his mouth had a faint curve, for some reason, Gu Xiuyuan felt tense just seeing him. The future young overlord spoke slowly under the gaze of the present great villain: "Uncle Ji... hello." "Have you eaten? I brought some broccoli."
