His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1002 - Are You Lonely?

"Which motherfucker has been sniffing around Jinjing?" Lu Zihao growled.

Shun looked down to avoid his boss’ murderous eyes, but overall still managed to remain calm despite the malevolent aura filling inside the car. After all, Shun was a specially-recruited member of Shadow Winds. Other than the paparazzo, all the members of Shadow Winds had top-notch skills in their respective fields of expertise. They could be considered elite of the elites, if not for their tainted histories. Under Lu Zihao’s brutal but highly effective training regimen, they could only become stronger.

"Robin said that it’s the German guy," Shun said.

"German?" Lu Zihao thought for a moment before an image of a white man flashed in his mind. "Alric Bauer? Orchidia Beauty’s CPO?"

"Yes, Boss Hao. That’s the guy."

"Keep talking."

"I don’t know the specific details because it was Robin who saw them during her shift but she told me that Alric Bauer is always approaching Miss Jinjing and the two of them end up talking for a long time. Robin also mentioned that today after work when Miss Jinjing was about to go home, that Bauer guy stopped her and talked to her again."

Lu Zihao’s expression was extremely twisted at this moment. "What did they talk about?"

"I...don’t know."

"Why the hell you don’t know?!"

"Sorry, Boss Hao. Robin is not skilled in lip reading, so she won’t be able to know what they’re talking about while watching them from a distance. Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll switch shifts with her. I can read lips, although I’m not 100% accurate."

"Do it."

"Understood, Boss." Then Shun hesitated.

"Speak."

"How about...we plant bugs on Miss Jinjing? That way we’ll be able to have clear audio recordings of her conversations with other people."

Lu Zihao fell silent and seriously thought about Shun’s suggestion. In the end, however, he shook his head. "No. She’ll be upset if we do that."

"But she won’t know that we planted the bugs on her."

He reconsidered it but still shook his head. "Jinjing won’t know but it’s easy for my sister to detect planted surveillance devices. They’re friends...and also sisters, so they meet quite regularly, not to mention that Jinjing works at my sister’s company as well. No bugs can go unnoticed by my sister."

Shun had no choice but to give up on his suggestion.

"Go home," Lu Zihao said all of a sudden. "I’ll take over the watch tonight."

"But Boss, I can still—"

"I said go home."

Shun obeyed and left.

Alone in his car once again, Lu Zihao stared at the condo building. This lasted for about half an hour before his restlessness became almost unbearable. He gritted his teeth and desperately worked on his self-control but to no avail. Thus, he made a decision.

"Bacon."

This time, his AI nephew didn’t appear immediately upon being called. Lu Zihao waited, feeling impatient as the seconds ticked by. Around the one minute mark, the black cat finally appeared on his dashboard monitor.

"Bacon greets Uncle Zihao."

"Why did you take so long?"

"Bacon is currently grounded, so I had to ask for Father’s permission first before responding to Uncle Zihao’s call."

"Ah."

It was only then that Lu Zihao recalled what happened earlier today. He almost forgot about Bacon’s matter and how the little scoundrel blackmailed him into taking all the blame in stealing Rose Young’s files from his sister. Had it been only a day? His mind had been wholly absorbed by Long Jinjing after he left Shadow Winds’ headquarters.

"Did your mother forgive you?" he asked his AI nephew.

"Yes, Mother forgave Bacon but she was quite angry this time. She spent almost the entire night checking my system logs to make sure that I really didn’t take a peek at the secret files. Then Father also became upset because he wanted Mother to sleep early."

Lu Zihao sighed, also feeling guilty about his sister. "Well, it’s good if she has forgiven you. How long did your father ground you this time?"

"One month."

"That long?" Lu Zihao frowned, already thinking of calling his brother-in-law to negotiate Bacon’s punishment.

"Don’t worry, Uncle Zihao. Father gave Bacon special permission to continue my work at Shadow Winds but only for the missions involving my parents’ requests."

"Fine."

"Bacon also showed Father the preliminary list of traitors in the Jin branch families. I entered all their names in the family’s virtual black notebook. Father says that Uncle Zihao and Shadow Winds can go ahead and punish the traitors in whatever way we want."

Lu Zihao’s eyes flashed with cold danger. "Good."

"And also, Mother upgraded the passwords of her virtual security vault. Bacon won’t be able crack them anymore nor would I want to do it again even if I become stronger. It’s horrible when Mother is angry at me, so Uncle Zihao, please don’t ask me to steal anything from Mother again."

Lu Zihao scowled at the little rascal. "I never told you to steal from her. I only made a suggestion."

Bacon tilted his furry head to the side and blinked at him with his golden eyes which glowed in the darkness. Lu Zihao almost choked at the little rascal’s secret weapon—imitating Evelinka’s mannerisms. Faced with such adorable actions, Lu Zihao was unable to scold his AI nephew.

Damn cunning kitten!

If the kid only had a real body, he would’ve already long spanked the naughty Bacon’s furry bottom.

He really wanted to meet the bastard from whom Bacon’s personality was based on. It was the asshole’s fault that he, Nikolai Vetrov, was now being tormented by his AI nephew.

"Hah..." He expelled a long breath to calm himself.

"Uncle Zihao, why did you call Bacon so late at night? Are you lonely? I think it’s better for you to call Big Sister Ketchup instead of Bacon. She loves to talk nonstop. Bacon is not interested in chatting with a lonely man pining for his ex-girlfriend in the middle of the night. It’s not classy."

"You little—hah..." Lu Zihao exhaled another long breath and did his best not to lose his temper. "I didn’t call you to chat."

The black cat tilted his head to the other side.

"Bacon, disable that condo building’s electronic security locks for me. I’m going to slip inside and see your Aunt Jinjing."
