Fang Zikai was silent for a moment before he thought of this person. “You’re my father’s biological father? Our biological grandfather? The grandfather who was taken away?”

Without mentioning the last sentence, Chi Baoguang would be in a better mood.

“…Yes, yes.”

“Wow, Grandpa, you still have a phone in prison! My father said that there are usually only two scenarios when a call comes from prison. One, you’re going to be released from prison. Two, you’re going to be killed in prison and they’ve called our family to collect the corpse.” Fang Zikai smiled and said, “Grandpa, you’re going to be released from prison?”

Chi Baoguang was speechless.

“Give me your father’s phone number.” He could not tell the two little fellows apart clearly.

Fang Zikai then gave his father’s number like he was memorizing a book.

Chi Baoguang hung up the phone and looked up. He realized that Xiao Junye and Wang Jian were looking at him while holding in their laughter. He said with a straight face, “Little children are mischievous.”

“I understand.” After Xiao Junye said that, he adjusted his glasses and Chi Baoguang suspected that he was holding in his laughter.

Chi Baoguang called Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng picked up quickly.

“Hello, I’m Fang Yusheng.”

“I’m your father.”

When he heard this, Fang Yusheng thought that he was scolding someone. He was about to reply that he was his grandfather when he realized that the voice was a little familiar.

Fang Yusheng was silent for a moment before asking, “Chi Baoguang?”

“You have to call me Dad.”

Fang Yusheng did not call him Dad. He asked, “You’re saved?” His voice was filled with surprise.

Chi Baoguang acknowledged.

He actually just wanted to call and tell them that he was safe.

After the call had been made, Chi Baoguang was speechless.

Since he did not speak, Fang Yusheng naturally would not take the initiative to speak.

The two of them were silent for a while on the phone. In the end, Fang Yusheng took the initiative to speak. He said, “Mom was very worried when you were not around these few days. She didn’t sleep well these few days. I lied to her and said that you were coming back soon before I tricked her out to relax. She thought that you were really coming back and was shopping with Ah Sheng. She said that she wanted to buy you a few sets of clothes to change into.”

“Hmm… Which brand do you like to wear?”

Fang Yusheng pretended to be nonchalant.

Chi Baoguang, who had been complaining about their inhumane behavior, felt his heart warm up when he heard this explanation.

“I’m not picky about clothes.”

“Alright, we’ll think about it then.”

“Yes.”

Fang Yusheng asked again, “When are you coming back?”

“I’m in Binjiang City.”

“Then when… are you coming to see Lisa?” He wanted to ask Chi Baoguang when he would go home, but he felt that it was awkward and could not say it.

Chi Baoguang said vaguely, “I have to see someone first.”

Fang Yusheng immediately understood what he meant.

“Alright then.”

Fang Yusheng was speechless. He was about to hang up.

Chi Baoguang guessed his intentions. Before he hung up the phone, he asked. “Do you really like the two canaries in Secretary Liu’s house?”

Fang Yusheng was stunned.

He thought about it carefully and understood what was going on.

Previously, in order to please him, Chi Baoguang had stolen the peacocks from the Minister of Education’s house. After he was done, he even called to ask for credit. Fang Yusheng was furious and mocked him. “I want to eat the two canaries at Secretary Liu’s house. Can you get them for me too?”

Chi Baoguang actually took his casual words to heart.

An unknown emotion spread in Fang Yusheng’s heart.

He rubbed his chest and said, “I’m talking nonsense.” He guessed what Chi Baoguang was going to do and quickly educated him, “You’re not allowed to steal them!”

Chi Baoguang said something that made no sense. He said, “It’s not stealing this time.” Then he hung up.

Fang Yusheng stood in the corridor of the mall with his phone in his hand. When he heard this, he was puzzled.

Lisa and Qiao Jiusheng walked out of the shop in female clothes and saw Fang Yusheng leaning against the glass corridor in a daze. The two of them walked over at the same time. Qiao Jiusheng pushed Fang Yusheng’s arm and asked him, “What’s wrong?”

Fang Yusheng placed his phone in his pocket.

He stretched out his hand very naturally and took the bags in the two women’s hands before saying, “Mom, didn’t you say that you wanted to buy… a razor for Dad?” He looked at the shop opposite him embarrassedly but said, “Go buy it.”

Lisa was stunned when he said “Dad.”

Qiao Jiusheng was also surprised.

“If Baoguang could hear you call him Dad, he would be very happy.”

Fang Yusheng thought about it and said, “It’s not impossible.”

“Really?” Lisa seemed to see hope.

Fang Yusheng said, “If he pays us to change the way we call him, our family will change our ways.” Whether they could change their way of addressing him depended on Chi Baoguang’s level of sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiusheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, Lisa muttered, “Look at your love for money? Who exactly did you take after?”

Lisa said that there was no need to buy anything more. Anyway, Chi Baoguang had not returned yet, so it was a waste to buy it.

Fang Yusheng said, “He’s back.”

Lisa was stunned for a moment before she asked Fang Yusheng anxiously, “Really?” She could not hide the surprise and excitement in her tone.

“Yes.”

Lisa was overjoyed.

Although she had been smiling before, her smile was very forced. After hearing this, her smile became much brighter. She pulled her son and wife into stores to buy many clothes for Chi Baoguang in the men’s clothing section of the mall. In the end, she even bought him a razor and many other daily necessities.

When Chi Baoguang saw Huo Tingguang, Huo Tingguang addressed him respectfully as Dr. Chi.

He could afford to be called Dr. Chi.

He sized up Huo Tingguang and thought of Fang Yusheng, Ji Yinbing, and Zhuang Long, who had completely cured AIDS at a young age. Chi Baoguang could not help but sigh. “The younger generation will surpass us. This world will forever belong to you youngsters.”

His words had two meanings.

Huo Tingguang, who was about to participate in the national elections in three months, smiled when he heard this.

Huo Tingguang smiled warmly, hiding the ambition and revenge in his eyes.

He said, “Professor Chi, you’re flattering me.”

The two of them chatted in the office for nearly two hours.

When he left the office, Chi Baoguang was smiling, and so was Huo Tingguang.

Xiao Junye asked Huo Tingguang, “What was the outcome?”

“He will hand over his research results to us and will serve us in the future. In exchange, we have to protect him from harm. In addition, he promised not to go overseas, but he has absolute freedom in the country.”

Xiao Junye said, “People who are too bright will be burnt by the light itself.” Dr. Chi was a treasure that all the countries in the world wanted to get. It was because he was too valuable that he appeared even more dangerous. Everyone wanted to get him, but if they could not get him, they wanted to destroy him.

Huo Tingguang did not speak further on this topic. He returned to his office and called the Provincial Party Secretary of Binjiang City.

When Secretary Liu saw that the call was from the finance department’s office, he was a little surprised and excited..
