Chapter 136 – Tit for Tat (1)
“I’ll show you my skills now.”
After saying so, Chen Yu grabbed the husky by its scruff and dragged it toward the kitchen.
“Awooo!”
The husky widened its eyes in fright, and it started struggling desperately. “Awoo… Awoooo…”
“Brother! What are you doing?!”
Chen Yike and Chen Erke immediately rushed forward upon seeing Chen Yu’s actions, each of them grabbing one of the husky’s hind legs.
Meanwhile, Chen Sanke still remained seated on the sofa and was earnestly fiddling with her fingers. “Three plus four is seven, seven plus three is fifteen, fifteen butter biscuits have…have…thirty-two holes…”
“Stop coding. I’ll give you a holiday and take you out to play.”
“Play?” Little Peach was delightfully surprised.
“Yeah.” Chen Yu nodded. He then manipulated the Interstellar Portal’s console and established a spatial link with a hidden grove inside Jinzhou City Park. After opening the door, he said, “Go in. Wait for me in the park’s small square. We’ll pretend as if we don’t know each other, and I’ll ask you to join in our snowball fight.”
“Wah! (*^▽^*)” Little Peach cheered and rushed in. “Long live Mr. Chen!”
“Wait. Put on a jacket and a pair of shoes first. There are some beneath the bed.”
“Okay!”
After getting Little Peach ready, Chen Yu went downstairs and caught up with his three little sisters. Grabbing Chen Sanke’s hand again, he said, “Let’s go to the park. However, you can only play for an hour. Otherwise, the vet’s going to close.”
“Brother, what did you bring?”
“I brought my conscience.”
…
After the Chen family’s four young masters walked for 10 minutes or so, they arrived at Jinzhou City’s People’s Park.
Many children and adults could already be seen building snowmen and having snowball fights inside the park.
“Hahaha!”
Exploding with joy, Chen Sanke promptly dashed toward a small snowman with her chubby legs. However, as she was too thickly dressed, she ended up tripping herself and falling into the densely packed snow.
“Let’s build a snowman!” Chen Yike cheered.
“No! Let’s have a snowball fight!” Chen Erke suggested.
“Building snowmen is boring. Let’s have a snowball fight first.” Chen Yu agreed with Erke’s suggestion.
“Let’s all attack Big Brother!” Chen Erke bent down, grabbed a lump of soft snow, kneaded it into a ball, and threw it at Chen Yu’s head.
Poof.
The ball of snow shattered after hitting its target.
Meanwhile, Chen Sanke pulled herself out of the snow and licked the snow stuck to her lips. She then held up a small snowball and threw it at Chen Yu with all her strength. However, as she used too much strength, she ended up falling back into the snow once more…
Chen Sanke: “Hahaha! This is fun!”
“It’s my turn.” Chen Yu also bent down, grabbed a “big” bundle of snow, kneaded it into a snowball, and aimed it at Chen Erke.
Seeing this, Chen Erke immediately turned around and fled. “W-Wait! Yours is too big…”
Poof!
The giant snowball hit Chen Erke’s back and sent her faceplanting into the ground.
“I win.”
“N-Not fair!” Chen Erker complained as she stood back up. “Your hands are too big! Let’s both stockpile ammunition for now and fight to the death in a moment.”
“No problem!”
“Big Sis, Third Eldest, come help me.”
Quickly, the four siblings split into two teams and started busily making snowballs.
Three minutes later, Chen Erke raised a basketball-sized snowball, and delightfully said, “Let’s begin!”
“Okay.”
Chen Yu also raised the snowball he prepared.
Unlike Chen Erke’s, however, his snowball had at least a one-meter diameter…
“W-Wait… N-No…” Chen Erke immediately turned around in a panic and tried to run. “Y-You’re cheati-Ah!”
Poof!
The gigantic snowball flew through the air and thoroughly drowned Chen Erke in snow…
…
At the same time, inside a multi-story building several dozen meters away, an Asian man slowly put down his binoculars and blankly said, “The suspect actually came here, but there are too many people nearby. I’m not sure if there are any plainclothes. This is a little tricky.”
“Are you sure it’s him?” the Asian woman sitting beside the man asked.
“I’m not sure, but he is one of the several dozen suspected targets. I’m going to probe him. Remain hidden here.”
“Shouldn’t we go according to plan and take action when he goes to school tomorrow?”
“Let’s not wait any longer. We’ll go now,” the Asian man said as he stood up without hesitation. “If I fall into danger, ignore me. Your priority is to get the information out.”
“We…” Clenching her fists, the woman muttered, “Once the mission is over…”
“What?”
“N-Nothing… Be careful.”
“Mhm.”
The man then turned around and left…
