His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 799 - Say Your Name Again

The black cat on the TV screen didn’t reply right away. It just blinked its sharp golden eyes and stared at Lu Zihao while swishing its tail slowly behind it.

Lu Zihao sighed in annoyance. "Not talking, huh. Is this your new method of bothering me? Creeping me out by staring at me in silence? Give it up now, kid. Whatever you try, it won’t work on me. Tell your mother that I’m busy and that I don’t want to see your father’s face for now. I’ll eventually return to Dragon Palace but only when I feel like it."

Finally, the black cat spoke. "Greetings, Uncle Zihao."

Lu Zihao’s lifted an eyebrow before narrowing his eyes to study the cat more closely. It sounded different than usual. It still had a childish voice but was calmer and not as talkative as before.

"Uncle is mistaking me for that annoying white dumbhead but I’m not my older sister Ketchup. I have come tonight to introduce myself. My name is Bacon and I am your new nephew. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Uncle Zihao."

Lu Zihao blinked. "Say your name again."

"I am Bacon."

Lu Zihao made a face before heaving a heavy sigh. "I shouldn’t be surprised anymore by how my sister names her kids."

"Mother and Father say that Bacon is a magnificent name that matches my extraordinary existence." The black cat’s tail swished a little faster to indicate how proud it was of its name, even as his expression remained impassive.

Shaking his head, Lu Zihao couldn’t help but pity the innocent black cat AI. Well, at least his sister didn’t name the poor new kid Fried Eggs or Hotdog. Imagine a cat named Hotdog. Hah! How pitiful. Compared to those other stupid names, Bacon was indeed not bad.

Now that his sister’s, uh, "unique" naming sense struck again, he couldn’t stop himself from worrying about her twins who were still growing inside her womb. He must remind her again to never name her human children. Even her man, Jin Liwei, couldn’t be trusted in this matter. If the couple was to be allowed to name their twins, those poor kids would grow up having to face other people’s ridicule.

After another sigh, Lu Zihao pushed the matter of his sister’s naming sense aside and focused on his current visitor. His body shifted into a casual sitting pose but his expression became guarded. Although he knew that only his sister could create such an advanced cat AI, this was still the first time that he was encountering...Bacon.

Ah, shit. He winced. The name was really ridiculous.

Anyway, back to the main topic. He pressed his fingertips together in a steeple above his chest while looking at the black cat.

"Why did you visit me?" he asked. "Is it only to introduce yourself?"

Bacon blinked his golden eyes and answered in a serious, calm and polite tone. "That is one of the reasons, yes. But I have another more important reason. Bacon has seen Uncle Zihao’s information from the white dumbhead’s internal records and it caused me to become interested in Uncle’s work, specifically your group, the Shadow Winds."

Lu Zihao narrowed his eyes. "Heh~ Is that so?" His mouth curved in what looked like an amused smile but it didn’t reach his eyes. "I already know that the white cat is keeping tabs on me to some extent. I don’t mind. Your mother knows about my true nature, anyway. But the real question is...how much information does the white cat, and in extension, your mother, know about my group? With your mother’s skills, digging everything about Shadow Winds and our activities is nothing but child’s play."

"Not much," Bacon replied. "The records mostly contain superficial data because Mother won’t let the white dumbhead gather more classified information about Shadow Winds. Mother says we need to respect Uncle Zihao’s privacy most of the time and only disturb you when we have a valid reason. In recent days, however, Father has instructed the white dumbhead to do a more thorough background check on all of Uncle’s subordinates who are assigned to assist in Mother’s security and that of Dragon Palace Home #10. And Mother granted permission."

"Heh~" Lu Zihao tapped his steepled fingertips.

He didn’t really mind the background checks on his subordinates. In fact, he approved of it. If it concerned his sister’s safety, he would do anything. If necessary, he would even abandon his most loyal subordinates without batting an eye. It was good that his sister’s man, Jin Liwei, was taking more steps in ensuring her safety, especially now that she was pregnant.

Although the man’s presence was currently a huge source of irritation to him due to the remnant’s attachment, he still had to admit that Jin Liwei indeed loved his sister and cared about her. Jin Liwei also had the status, wealth and resources to keep her and their children safe. He might not want to see the man right now but he felt assured to leave his sister to Jin Liwei.

Lu Zihao looked at the black cat again. "Is it alright that you’re telling me all this? Won’t your parents scold you for revealing this kind of information to me?"

"Mother and Father won’t mind. Uncle Zihao is an important person to both of them."

This time, the smile on his lips became genuine. "So tell me, kid. What is your true purpose for coming to see me?"

"Bacon is very interested in Uncle Zihao’s work. The white dumbhead is busy with her daily chores assigned by Mother and Father but I, Bacon, am not interested in doing the same."

Interest glinted in Lu Zihao’s eyes but he concealed them as soon as it appeared. "Be more specific. I like decisive individuals, not those who dilly-dally with useless chatter like your sister. Tell me exactly what it is that you want."

The cat’s tail swished faster. "Uncle Zihao, Bacon would like to assist in your work. I have extraordinary capabilities and will surely be useful to you. In exchange, Uncle has to pay me fairly for my work."
