I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

463 Jing Zhen’s Identity

Jing Zhen’s hands were on the steering wheel, moving nervously back and forth. Follow current s on novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ

His peach blossom eyes were filled with helplessness. “You know my family was very poor when I was a child. My parents passed away early… Although I married into your mom’s family, you should still call them grandpa and grandma, right?”

“Get to the point,” Shen Ruojing said coldly.

Jing Zhen could only drop his hands. “It’s a long story.”

!!

“Make it short then,” Shen Ruojing replied.

Jing Zhen looked at her and said, “You’re really not an interesting person, Jingjing… Anyway, the truth is, a few years ago there was a movie that became popular. It’s called ‘The Professional.’ Have you seen it?”

Shen Ruojing nodded. The movie was about an actor who was hired to play a hitman, but in the end, he tricked everyone.

Jing Zhen continued, “Actually, my situation is somewhat similar to that. I wasn’t hired by anyone, but the Doom Organization thought that I looked like the person they were looking for, so they found me and demanded that I gave them something they wanted.”

Sensing something important, Shen Ruojing asked, “What did they want?”

What the Doom Organization wanted should be something extremely important.

Jing Zhen sighed. “How would I know? I didn’t even know them, but they were convinced it was me. I tried to explain to them, however, they didn’t believe me.”

“And then?” Shen Ruojing asked.

“Then they captured you,” Jing Zhen said nervously.

“So they captured me because of you.” Shen Ruojing tightened her fingers.

Jing Zhen nodded guiltily and explained, “I knew how terrifying they were at the time. If I continued to deny that I wasn’t the person they were looking for, they would have killed you. So I admitted to it and told them that if anything happened to you, that thing would also be in danger! You know me, I’ve played so many villainous roles, so they believed me easily. They only asked me to give them the thing and exchange it for your release. But since I was just pretending, how could I have that thing?”

Shen Ruojing sighed and asked, “And then?”

“At the time, I didn’t dare to call the police, fearing that it would anger them and they would really kill you. So I formed a deadlock with them. They had to send me a video every day to prove that you were still alive. In the meantime, I tried to find people to rescue you, but as an unknown actor, how could I have so many connections? It was only when you succeeded in saving yourself that it ended.”

Jing Zhen looked at her seriously. His peach blossom eyes were full of innocence. “Jingjing, I’m sorry that I caused trouble for you.”

Shen Ruojing sneered, not believing him at all. “Nothing is considered trouble for matters between a father and his daughter.”

Jing Zhen’s expression stiffened slightly.

Like Jing Zhen’s, Shen Ruojing’s peach blossom eyes were icy cold. “Father, are you really not the person they were looking for?”

Jing Zhen’s eyes showed a hint of evasion, and he tightly clenched the hand by his side while his veins throbbed. His words carried a hint of coldness. “Of course not. If I was that person and had what they wanted, I would have exchanged it for you. How could I let you be imprisoned for seven months, six days, and five hours?!”

But what if the thing they wanted was something like the No. 5 Neurotoxin? Or something even more terrifying…?

What was more important, a daughter or the thing they wanted?

Shen Ruojing opened her mouth to ask this question, but the words were stuck in her throat.

She had faced this dilemma before. She had the No. 5 Neurotoxin in her hands, yet she still chose to remain trapped rather than escape.

If Rong Rong wasn’t on the verge of being sold, she doubted she would have ever taken out that poison.

From Jing Zhen’s perspective, even though she was locked up, her life was not in danger.

She had been trapped in a cage called “morality” for 13 years and even suffered from self-blame and depression to the point of contemplating suicide… So she didn’t want to ask her father anymore, especially since he had made the right choice.

Instead of exposing his pretense, Shen Ruojing asked, “You should have the power to protect yourself, right? After all, Old Master Bai is so nice to you…”

She was probing her father’s strength.

Jing Zhen pitifully said, “Old Master Bai is my fan, so he takes care of me like this. If I had the power to protect myself, I wouldn’t have let you be kidnapped back then… It’s all because of my incompetence…”

He lowered his head with guilt. “It’s all my fault…”

Shen Ruojing massaged her temples. “Enough. Anyway, with four guards from Valor Gate protecting you and mom, unless the Doom Organization sends a whole army of mercenaries, you guys will be fine!”

When Shen Ruojing’s eldest martial brother found out that it was her parents seeking help, he immediately contacted the jade-level disciples without hesitation. These people were much more reliable than the people Little Five had found, and they were all true experts.

Jing Zhen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Ruojing asked again, “Has the Doom organization sent anyone to look for you in these 13 years?”

“After you were rescued, I contacted them and told them that I wasn’t the person they were looking for. I also told them that our family was under the protection of the police special department. They probably observed for a long time and found that I, your father, was so useless to the extent that I could be suppressed by a little singer and not become famous for so many years. They must have also realized that you were just an ordinary person, and your mother also suffered in the Shen family… If I were the big shot they were looking for, how could I have ended up like this? So they believed me and never came to find me again.”

The ‘ordinary’ Shen Ruojing. “…”

Jing Zhen finished speaking and glanced at her obliquely. He then said with a hint of slight reproach in his words, “I guess now that the Doom Organization has discovered that you are Professor Z and your past ordinary self was just a disguise, they will target you. Well… actually, your mother and I should be pretty safe now. You’re the one in the most danger. It would be so much better if you just stay ordinary.”

Shen Ruojing. “?”

Was he complaining about her dropping a sock puppet account?

She coldly spoke, “Yeah, it’s great to be scolded every day for being worthless. Who asked you to keep such a big secret from me?”

Jing Zhen immediately apologized. “It’s all Father’s fault.”

Shen Ruojing said, “Okay, take care of yourself and mother. I’ll handle the rest.”

Jing Zhen looked up at her with a touch of emotion in his eyes. His eyes were as clear as a little puppy’s. “Jingjing, your parents will rely on you.”

“…..”

Shen Ruojing shuddered and quickly got out of the car.

Her father deserved an Oscar for his acting skills!

After Shen Ruojing got into Chu Cichen’s car and they left, Jing Zhen had the four Valor Gate’s experts follow him in his car as he drove to the filming set.

On the way, he called Shen Qianhui, “Have you had dinner yet? I saw some glutinous rice cakes by the roadside that looked delicious. I’m drooling over them. I’ll buy some for you.”

Shen Qianhui replied gently, “Okay, I’ll wait for you to return.”

After hanging up, Jing Zhen got out of the car and ran to buy glutinous rice cakes. When he got back to the car, his phone rang and it was Bai Wei.

Jing Zhen answered lazily but with a strong presence, “What’s up?”

...

Bai Wei said, “Mr. Jing, there are people from your family who want to see you…”

Upon hearing this, Jing Zhen’s pupils contracted.
