815 Pathetic Monk (1/2)
Platinum Sky Condominium.
The punching bag snapped off its chains and went tumbling and rolling on the floor. A flood of sand, grains and small pieces of cloth burst out of it and made a big mess on the gym floor.
Lu Zihao straightened from his fighting position. He already decimated his third punching bag since he started working out this afternoon. The gym was littered with debris.
Volatile energy filled him and made him feel restless again. It was a combination of sexual frustration because of damn Miss Prim and Proper Long Jinjing for occupying his mind so much that he couldn't properly fuck other women anymore, and also irritation at his younger sister after talking to her on the phone earlier today.
His sister wasn't happy about Jin Liwei giving Bacon permission to work for him. He was able to glean from his subordinates stationed at Dragon Palace Home #10 that the couple fought again the next day after Bacon introduced himself to him. His subordinates didn't know what the couple was fighting about but he could figure it out. His sister didn't want to expose her second AI child to his work in Shadow Winds.
Lu Zihao already expected that she would retract Bacon's offer to work for him but surprisingly, she didn't. Instead, she used it as leverage to blackmail him to talk to them in person.
”Big Brother, if you agree to talk to Liwei and I in person, I'll allow Bacon to assist you in your work,” she told him during the phone call. ”And by talk, I mean that you also have to talk. I don't want you refusing to say a word or storming out. If you agree to my request, then I'll even optimize Bacon's system to become more effective when he helps you and Shadow Winds.”
He hadn't given her an answer yet and only told her that he would think about it first. She knew that he didn't want to see Jin Liwei in person yet because of the remnant inside him. And most importantly, he didn't want to reveal their past identities as members of the Vetrovs to others, even to Jin Liwei. He didn't trust anyone except her.
Lu Zihao was pissed off during the entire phone call with his sister. He almost raged at her but remembered that she was pregnant. His subordinates at Dragon Palace Home #10 informed him that her emotional fluctuations recently had become quite extreme. Literally anything might set her off.
He almost called Jin Liwei to tell him to lock her up in their home so that she would be safe and sound until she gave birth. If he did that, however, the remnant might act up again upon speaking with Jin Liwei. Not to mention that his sister would most likely declare war against him and Jin Liwei for being such ”overprotective cavemen” as she had called them before.
She might even run away and give birth to her twin babies in a secret location just to make her point. He wouldn't put it past her to do that. She had always been stubborn and strong-headed. Even their mother, the formidable Madam Vetrova, was unable to change her mind. Their mother's constant threats certainly didn't work on his sister into making her join the family business.
Although he was pissed off at her for blackmailing him using her AI child which she knew that he desperately wanted, he controlled his temper.
