Chapter 160 - Can I Be A Spy Too? (1/2)

”So, what's the plan now?” Father Feng asked with determination as he rolled up his sleeves. ”Can I be a spy too?” the man's eyes lit up excitedly.

Sean quickly shook his head, ”You should go home and 'grieve'. We will handle the rest. It's too dangerous for you to stay here. You already know too much.”

Natalie looked at her fiance and agreed, ”Yes, we still have a business meeting in a few days. I'll head back with you.”

But, Father Feng wasn't one to run away from a difficult situation. Besides, how could he let Mother Wu live in peace when he knew that she tried to kill his daughter? Even if he couldn't help capture the woman, he could, at least, make her life a living hell.

”The meeting is in a few days. That means I can still stick around for a bit,” Father Feng said with a cheeky smile. ”I've got some ideas...Plus, I'm a good actor. Natalie can attest to my acting skills.”

Halia sighed. Her father had always been a fan of spy movies so she could tell he was excited. But, this was not a movie; this was real life.

”I won't force you to leave if you don't want to, but don't do anything reckless,” she warned.

Her father did an 'OK' gesture with his fingers and sat down comfortably on the sofa. Sometimes, it felt like Halia was the parent and her father was the child.

”By the way, where are you going to hide if everyone thinks you're dead? You can't return to your hotel room or mine,” Father Feng suddenly questioned.

Jackson heard the old man's question and replied casually, ”She will be staying here.”

Father Feng looked at the young man. Although he was tall, handsome and successful, Father Feng had his doubts. After all, good-looking men were often untrustworthy. How could he let his precious daughter share a room with a man that he knew nothing about?

”No, a man and a woman alone in a room? You're both unmarried. It's not safe! What if you take advantage of my precious daughter?” Father Feng objected.

Jackson cleared his throat awkwardly.

At that moment, Amelie stepped forward, ”I am also sharing this suite. There are two bedrooms. Halia can share a bed with me.”

Even though she couldn't understand Chinese, she could roughly guess what Father Feng was worried about.

Father Feng glanced at the blond-haired, blue-eyed woman. He had seen her before. She was the woman that Jackson told his father he was marrying!

”That's right! I almost forgot! How can my daughter be your girlfriend when you told your father you were marrying this woman! I knew good-looking men couldn't be trusted! Are you playing around with my daughter's feelings?” Father Feng growled.

Jackson chuckled. ”There's been a misunderstanding, Mr. Feng. This is Amelie, my colleague. She's here to assist me and be my cover,” he explained. ”We are just friends. Besides, I told my father I was getting married, but I didn't mention any names.”

He then glanced at Halia, ”Perhaps, I meant I was marrying your daughter...”

Halia opened her eyes wide in shock. What was this man saying? When did she agree to marry him?

As she blushed, she turned to reassure her father. ”Don't worry, Dad. He didn't take advantage of me last time, so I'll be fine,” she quickly blurted.

”Last time?” Father Feng asked in shock. ”What do you mean by last time?”

Halia sighed and placed her hand to her mouth. She forgot that her father didn't know about the time they spent in the underground lab.

”You have a lot of explaining to do, young lady,” Father Feng warned as he waited expectantly for his daughter to speak.

Halia sighed as she looked at Jackson helplessly. It seemed, she had a lot of explaining to do...
