Chapter 151

151. Holding the Emperor to Command the Feudal Lords

“Didn’t these people receive signals from Ouxi Wei before? And how did the Light Magic Society locate her?”

Su Zeheng’s lips twitched but he remained silent.

Was he not tricked?

He had hoped to extract more information, but it seemed the other party remained calm even in their panic. Wen Han could only give up.

Ignoring Wen Han, Su Zeheng turned and said, “Old Chen, can you search for Ouxi Wei’s past records and data?”

“Sure!” Old Chen nodded. “But we need to go back first.”

“Alright!” He nodded again. “I didn’t expect her… It seems our top priority now is to catch Ouxi Wei.”

The reason Ouxi Wei managed to escape multiple times was one, she had extensive experience in evading capture; otherwise, she wouldn’t have avoided being caught for five years. Two, the Light Magic Society always wanted to protect her rather than harm or capture her.

However, the situation had changed now, and the Light Magic Society’s mission had become to apprehend her.

Especially since Ouxi Wei had committed a crime and was under pursuit, if she were to die at the hands of the Recycling Station or the Monster Alliance, it would be a disgrace and failure for the Light Magic Society.

“This matter will likely fall to you.” Given the body swap with Wen Han, there was a risk of leaking information to the Recycling Station, so Su Zeheng was very cautious. “Send me any news via text message.”

The three exchanged glances and nodded.

Seeing Old Chen and the others leave ahead of them, Wen Han rolled her eyes and slowly walked over to Su Zeheng.

“Dude, are you suspicious of me?”

“I don’t lie. So yes.” Su Zeheng nodded. “But I hope… one day I won’t need to be suspicious of you, and we can openly share information.”

Wen Han smiled faintly. “…Perhaps there will be such a day.”

“As long as you’re willing!” Su Zeheng smiled brightly. “We shouldn’t stay here too long. An Lisen might appear at any moment. Let’s leave quickly.”

“…Okay.”

Wen Han acted as if she had been enlightened, suddenly waking up.

She took the initiative to hold Su Zeheng’s hand.

Startled, he turned around, only to find that Wen Han had already disappeared.

“Wen Han?” Looking out at the vast fields, Su Zeheng shook his head helplessly.

…

Recycling Station.

“Lin, I need all of Ouxi Wei’s files! Detailed ones!”

“Oh?” Putting down the newspaper, Lin Wuju found it strange to see Wenh Han with Su Zeheng’s face. “You… cough! Didn’t you already check her information before?”

“Not enough!” Wen Han shook her head. “Her past still has many details! She was wanted by the Science Bureau, and five years ago, she seemed to have stolen something. Perhaps we can start from there!”

“Oh?”

When it came to this, Lin Wuju finally became serious.

Ouxi Wei was a different target compared to other missions. She was the focus of the Monster Alliance, the Recycling Station, and the Light Magic Society. She was also an important stake in the bets between the first two forces.

This matter was significant, so Lin Wuju immediately raised his gaze. “I need to seek help from His Highness.”

He took a step forward and vanished with a swoosh inside the Recycling Station.

“They left?” Wen Han’s eyes flickered. “Right!”

She suddenly stepped forward again, flipping through the current intelligence on Ouxi Wei and stopped at a particular line.

“Five years ago, her husband met with an accident. The same year, she disappeared… Could this be related?”

She pondered, then suddenly retreated and vanished into chaos.

…

Night fell swiftly.

“…So it is.”

Leaning against his car, Su Zeheng murmured to himself while looking at the text message on his phone.

“In this situation, Ouxi Wei would likely be imprisoned for at least ten years. No wonder she doesn’t want to cooperate with me.”

He took a deep breath, got into the car, and started the engine.

Vroom…

The car hummed, ready to drive off.

Su Zeheng lifted his head casually, then suddenly slammed on the brakes, his eyes widening.

“Hey! Are you crazy?!!!”

He stared at Wen Han in disbelief. “Why did you suddenly appear?”

Before he could finish, he had to turn off the engine and reluctantly get out.

“Dude, is Ouxi Wei’s arrest related to her husband?” Wen Han cut straight to the chase.

Su Zeheng was taken aback and shook his head. “Old Chen and the others haven’t received any intelligence, so I’m not sure.”

“I heard what you said just now.” Wen Han looked up. “Dude, you said you don’t lie?”

Su Zeheng’s face reddened slightly. “Well, okay. But I can’t tell you this, just like you wouldn’t tell me about the Recycling Station’s next move.”

“Then let me ask you again, what did Ouxi Wei steal five years ago?”

“I don’t know.”

“You won’t say?”

Su Zeheng silently swept his gaze. “This is my duty, I cannot disclose it.”

“Fine.” Wen Han smiled coldly and suddenly raised her fist, smashing it into her own vital spot. “Ahh—!”

It was really life-threatening for a man to be injured in that area!

Her face twisted in pain, yet she grinned at Su Zeheng.

Indeed, the other person’s eyes widened. “Wen Han, you…”

Bam!

“Ugh!” Wen Han gritted her teeth. “Dude, I’m holding the emperor to command the feudal lords! You won’t say? If you don’t, I’ll help you cover your back!”

“Hold on!” Su Zeheng’s face turned pale. “Wen Han, you, you, you’re shameless!!!”

“Shameless?” Wen Han giggled and suddenly punched again!

“Stop!” Su Zeheng pleaded desperately. “Can we talk properly?”

It hurt him deeply when she hit Wen Han.

As a man, how could Su Zeheng not be nervous about his most vulnerable spot?

“Are you scared?” Wen Han smiled slightly and suddenly pulled out a small knife. “Dude, will you talk?”

“I…”

“Will you talk?”

Su Zeheng clenched his teeth, then closed his eyes after a moment.

“No! Do whatever you want, this is my duty, I will never disclose it!”

“Then shall I cut?”

“…Do as you wish!” Su Zeheng tightened his fists. “Anyway, I…”

Feeling a sudden chill, he opened his eyes to find Wen Han pressing the knife blade against his face.

In the next second, Wen Han threw the knife on the ground. “Just kidding! But dude, you’re pretty principled, aren’t you?”

“I… This is my responsibility!” Su Zeheng’s eyes were resolute.

“Oh?”

This surprised Wen Han.

After all, this concerned a man’s lifelong happiness, but the guy stubbornly refused.

She glanced at him with a strange smile.

This smile made Su Zeheng shudder. “What do you want now?”

“Nothing! If you won’t talk, it’s fine.” Wen Han sighed, after all, she felt the pain too.

Fine, she thought, I still have Lin Wuju.

With that, she got into the car smoothly. Su Zeheng hurriedly followed.

“Hey, didn’t I tell you to get in?”

“A cute little girl like you.” Wen Han blinked. “Could you bear to leave me alone?”

“…Just a reminder, you’re using my body right now.”

“Isn’t that even more exciting?” Wen Han raised an eyebrow. “Dating yourself is quite romantic, isn’t it?”

Silence fell between them.

After a moment, Su Zeheng finally sighed heavily. “Alright, my dear—where are you going?”

152. I Have a Dad Now

“Let’s pick up Little Yuan first.” Wen Han habitually brushed her hair, only to realize she now had short hair. “Also, can we still track Ouxi Wei’s location?”

“The locator is still being repaired.”

“When will it be fixed?”

Su Zeheng was silent.

Wen Han understood that the other party wouldn’t reveal these matters to her.

But she had too many questions, such as why the Science Bureau couldn’t locate Ouxi Wei for five years, but the Light Magic Society could.

Clearly, this wooden-headed guy would rather sacrifice his dignity than reveal anything to her.

The car started quickly, driving steadily toward the kindergarten.

Inside the kindergarten,

“Teacher, what is entertainment?”

“Entertainment?” Facing Wen Yuan’s question, Teacher Lin smiled gently. “Entertainment is something that makes people happy, like playing games, reading books, watching TV, and so on.”

Wen Yuan scratched her head in confusion. “Teacher, what about entertainment between boyfriends and girlfriends?”

“It’s… Wait, what?!!” Teacher Lin suddenly froze. “Xiao Yuan, who told you these things?”

“I saw it.” Xiao Yuan was puzzled. “Teacher, can boyfriends and girlfriends entertain together?”

“…No comment,” Teacher Lin paused for a moment before shaking her head. “Only after marriage, we don’t advocate premarital… entertainment.”

“After marriage?”

“Yes, you’ll understand when you grow up.” Teacher Lin laughed awkwardly.

“Marriage… entertainment…” Xiao Yuan’s eyes kept darting around until she suddenly realized. “Oh, teacher! Only parents can entertain, right?”

“That’s… Let’s not talk about this.”

“Only parents can entertain…” Xiao Yuan widened her eyes. “Doesn’t that mean Uncle Su is the one Mom arranged for me…”

“Xiao Yuan—!” A voice suddenly came from outside the kindergarten.

Xiao Yuan stood up abruptly. “Mom is here to pick me up!”

With the teacher’s help, she quickly put on her backpack and rushed out, embracing her mom.

Though she didn’t know that her current mom was actually Su Zeheng.

“Mom, you’re so punctual today!”

“Because I… I missed you.” Su Zeheng rubbed the little one’s head.

The little one lifted her head, seeing Wen Han and grinned. “Dad!”

“?!!!!”

At that moment, both Wen Han and Su Zeheng were stunned, exchanging glances.

Wen Han narrowed her eyes. “What did you teach Xiao Yuan?”

“Not me!” Su Zeheng was bewildered. “Xiao Yuan, who told you… he’s your dad?”

“I guessed!” Xiao Yuan covered her mouth, smiling like she was keeping a secret.

Su Zeheng was at a loss, and Wen Han narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

Although she had long considered finding a “backup dad,” it still bothered her to hear this.

But…

“Oh! Xiao Yuan has a dad now!” While thinking, Xiao Yuan hugged Wen Han joyfully. “Mom, you finally found me a dad!”

“…Alright.” It wasn’t real anyway, as long as Xiao Yuan was happy.

Wen Han immediately looked at Su Zeheng.

Startled, he saw the hint in her eyes and tilted his head. “Me…?”

Wen Han nodded, her gaze falling to Xiao Yuan.

Su Zeheng understood instantly.

Xiao Yuan had grown up without a father, making it hard for Wen Han too, no doubt.

Suddenly remembering that Xiao Yuan had been raised solely by Wen Han, working multiple jobs to support them, he realized how much she had endured.

Su Zeheng fell silent, walking over to the two. “Let’s get in the car first.”

“Mom, I want to sit with Dad!”

“Alright.” Su Zeheng smiled helplessly and turned to sit in the driver’s seat.

Facing this innocent child who knew nothing, he felt somewhat overwhelmed.

How did he suddenly become a dad?

Even though he knew it was fake, he still felt a sense of disorientation, holding the steering wheel dazedly.

And Wen Han, who had switched souls with him, suddenly became a “dad,” sitting beside their daughter in the passenger seat.

“Uncle Su, even though you don’t have much money, you make a good dad!”

Throughout the journey, the little one chattered nonstop.

“On Children’s Day, other kids’ parents come. Now I’ll have parents too!”

Wen Han smiled faintly, looking at her daughter in her arms, feeling a pang of heartache.

Su Zeheng glanced sideways, his heart fluttering as he glanced at Xiao Yuan again.

Becoming a dad so suddenly, he still felt uncomfortable. But seeing Xiao Yuan’s joy, he couldn’t refuse.

Is he now… part of Wen Han’s family?

Thinking this, he blinked rapidly and glanced at Wen Han secretly.

To his surprise, Wen Han was smiling at him.

“Dude, are you secretly enjoying this?”

“!”

The car swayed uncontrollably for a moment, then quickly returned to its original position.

Su Zeheng gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes disoriented. “I…”

“Alright, Xiao Yuan is still here.”

Wen Han reminded him, and Su Zeheng closed his mouth.

Silence filled the car, only occasionally interrupted by Xiao Yuan’s incomprehensible muttering.

Vroom…

After a moment, Wen Han felt her phone vibrate and opened the text message calmly.

[Ouxi Wei, Magic Power 3000, was once a scientist at the Magic Science Bureau. Five years ago, she stole the “Life Core” and a large amount of research equipment and formulas, then disappeared.]

[Hu Ming, Magic Power 100, was once a scientist at the Magic Science Bureau. Five years ago, he died suddenly due to heart issues. That year, his body, which was about to be cremated, was stolen and disappeared.]

[Life Core, the core researched by the Magic Science Bureau based on the earth’s center, currently lacks detailed information and is subject to information lockdown by the Science Bureau.]

Hmm?

Wen Han’s expression remained calm, as if she was merely scrolling through her phone out of boredom.

But internally, she quickly processed the information, constructing a narrative about Ouxi Wei’s past in her mind.

Both Ouxi Wei and Hu Ming were once scientists at the Magic Science Bureau.

Five years ago, Hu Ming died suddenly, and Ouxi Wei chose to betray the organization and steal the most crucial “Life Core,” attempting to bring Hu Ming back to life, but this led to her being pursued and forced to flee.

So it was like that…

She nodded and looked at the final message Lin Wuju sent.

Life Core? What was that?

The Black-clad Man mentioned it was the treasure of the institution, so it must be important!

If it could bring someone back to life, would they live as long as normal people or have a time limit?

She pondered, firmly memorizing everything while forming new ideas in her mind.
