Chapter 25 - Confession

The birthday party lasted until three oclock in the afternoon, after which Mo Han also left the imperial palace with his father.

Luo Fei originally wanted to send Mo Han off in person, but his status as the First Prince is really not appropriate to send off the son of the chairman of Fengyang Group. He had no choice but to resist, and watch Mo Hans departing back with a polite smile. After all the guests left, Luo Fei, who finally didnt have to pretend to smile, immediately slumped and returned to his quarters with his head drooping.

He needs to organize his thoughts and figure out how to explain it to Mo Han tomorrow.

When did his vest drop? During the banquet, Luo Feis mind was always a mess, and he didnt have time to think carefully. After quieting down and having time to think, he quickly grasped the key point Mo Han is a hacker. Its easy for him to check a persons information, not to mention that KM Airlines is a company invested by Mo Han and his family. Calling up a certain pa.s.sengers data is as easy as pie for him. Once Mo Han is suspicious, he can immediately find out a persons real ident.i.ty by calling up the pa.s.senger information from the s.p.a.ce flights.

That is to say, when he said I am Emils a.s.sistant at Mr. Mos birthday party, and Mo Han suspiciously asked Which school did you graduate from, his vest had already been dropped. Even if he tried his best to fabricate information with Chongmings help, it was all useless nonsense in Mo Hans eyes he just needs to check the airline records to know his name is Luo Fei, and he is the First Prince of the Empire

This feeling of wearing a transparent costume and pretending, and having Mo Han think of him as a fool

Luo Fei had a splitting headache, pinched his forehead vigorously, and said, What should I do, he must think Im so stupid.

Chongming gloated: Master, Mo Han is so smart, do you still like him? I think you might as well give up! You cant beat him at all!

Luo Fei raised his eyebrows and said, You just dont want me to be with him, right? Youre afraid that he will invade your system.

Chongming was aggrieved. The intelligence system of a mech is equivalent to the human brain. If you have a wife who is a brain surgeon who performs brain surgery on people every day, and knows the structure of your brain very well, once she gets angry, she can directly open your brain. Arent you afraid of your memory being modified?

Luo Fei imagined that scene, and it was indeed scary.

With such a metaphor, he immediately understood Chongmings worry, and coaxed softly: Dont worry, you are my mech and have been with me for so long after all. I will definitely not agree if Mo Han wants to destroy you. Moreover, Mo Han is not that bad. As long as you dont offend him, why would he destroy you? At most, hell just study your code.

Just as he was talking, Chongming suddenly issued an alarm: Master, the Queen and General Ling Yu have arrived. I detected the signal of Senior Suzaku

Used j.a.panese translation because its more well-known than Zhuque and Little Fox, and have a bad feeling. Ill go offline first. Wis.h.i.+ng you good luck!

Luo Fei: ????

Selling its owner at such a critical moment?

Suzaku and Nine-Tailed Sky Fox are the personal mechs of General Ling Yu and Queen Lin Yuan respectively.

The number of S-cla.s.s smart mechs in the Empire is limited. Suzaku is the former G.o.d of war, charging and killing enemies on the front line, making them tremble. Nine-Tailed Sky Fox is the first SS-cla.s.s mech in the Empire. Back then, Lin Yuan drove the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox into the enemy camp to rescue His Former Majesty, ruining the rebels plans to abolish the monarchy.

There is a signal induction between Chongming and these senior mechs.

Luo Fei is the First Prince and heir to the throne. General Ling Yu does not want his grandson to have any accidents, and Lin Yuan naturally wants to ensure the safety of his son. In other words, once a distress signal is sent from Chongming, Suzaku and the Nine-tailed Sky Fox can immediately locate him and rush to the rescue.

But at this moment, Suzaku and Nine-Tailed Sky Fox were with their masters, and are obviously not here for any rescue.

The First Prince is in the palace, so safety isnt a problem. His father and grandfather should have come because they have questions to ask.

So Chongming wisely went offline because it felt this conversation is definitely not a good thing.

***

Luo Fei received Chongmings reminder and quickly adjusted his mentality.

He took off his heavy dress and put on a more casual outfit, and smiled in the mirror, trying to make himself look calmer.

The next moment, Lin Yuan and General Ling Yu walked in together.

Luo Fei immediately went forward, smiled and greeted: Dad, Grandpa, why are you suddenly free to come to my place?

Ling Yus face was as cold as ice, and his gaze was sharp. Of course Im here to listen to your explanation.

Luo Fei looked innocent: Explain what?

Ling Yu sat down on the sofa in the living room, and said flatly, Explain your relations.h.i.+p with Mo Han.

Luo Fei:

How did grandpa find out? Can his eyes see right through peoples hearts?

Lin Yuan was caught off guard and puzzled when he heard this. Mo Han, you mean Mo Qimings son? Luo Fei, do you know him?

Ling Yu looked at Luo Fei and said, Today when your father asked you to give your birthday speech, you stood still for three seconds. During those three seconds, you kept looking at Mo Han. Many people didnt notice this, but you cant hide it from my eyes. Tell me, what is your relations.h.i.+p with Mo Han, why did your brain freeze the moment you saw him?

Luo Fei:

His grandfather is really scary. General Ling Yu, as the only omega general in the history of the Empire, has a stronger aura than many alphas. Even his father is obedient in front of him, not to mention Luo Fei, a grandson and younger generation.

Facing his questioning, Luo Fei had no choice but to bite the bullet. When I visited Lyra this time, I happened to meet him at Mr. Mos 100th birthday party. Cousin Emil wanted to take me there to learn more, so I went along with him. I didnt want to reveal my ident.i.ty at the time, so I made up an excuse, saying that I graduated from the Department of Agricultural Sciences of Hermann University and was Emils a.s.sistant

Lin Yuan burst out laughing, and said to his son, Are you stupid? How do you look like Emils a.s.sistant?

Luo Fei blushed slightly, rubbed his nose in embarra.s.sment and said, I didnt think much about it at the time. I just wanted to make friends with Mo Han. The ident.i.ty of the First Prince is inconvenient, so I just made something up on the spot.

Lin Yuan continued to laugh at his stupid son. Emils a.s.sistant graduated from the Department of Agricultural Sciences. Hahahaha, whend you become good at bragging.

Luo Fei:

Is it really okay for a father to laugh at his sons expense?

Ling Yu gently rubbed the center of his brows, and said, Luo Fei, Mo Han is different from you. Hes hung around his father in the business world since he was 16 years old, and is very shrewd. Your little trick was definitely seen through. I heard that he is a genius hacker if he wants to check, he can check your family background in less than a minute.

Luo Fei blushed even more, lowered his head like a student who did something wrong, and whispered: I know I was wrong.

Seeing him blus.h.i.+ng, Lin Yuan didnt sympathize with him at all, and instead joked at his expense. No wonder, you were silent earlier. I thought you were so nervous and forgot your words, but it turns out that seeing Mo Han there made you ashamed to face your lies? Hahahaha.

Luo Fei:

Still laughing! Is this person happy to see his son embarra.s.sed, really his dad?

Ling Yu glanced at Luo Fei, and said calmly: Thats all? Nothing else?

Luo Fei felt a little guilty, but he didnt dare to reveal his feelings for Mo Han. He was afraid of being beaten to death by the two of them.

He has no chance of winning against these two at all

Moreover, Chongming also knew that it couldnt beat Suzaku and Tianhu, so it had already shut down in advance and didnt get involved.

Luo Fei had no choice but to smile slightly, pretending to be calm. Grandpa, how dare I hide anything from you. I really just appreciate Mo Hans ability. I wanted to make friends with him, so I made up an ident.i.ty, which ended up being revealed during todays birthday party. I was too embarra.s.sed at the time, so I suddenly forgot my words.

Ling Yu chuckled, stared at him sharply and said, Then what happened to Mo Lin?

Luo Feis spine felt chills how does he know about Mo Lin?

Ling Yu said indifferently: You probably forgot that I have many acquaintances in the Omega a.s.sociation. I naturally know that they did genetic screening for you and saw that list earlier than your father. You went to Mr. Mos birthday party not to have fun with Emil, but to see Mo Lin, right?

Luo Fei:

Sure enough, hes still too young, and incomparable with a senior like grandpa who has experienced countless storms.

It is said that honesty will be dealt with leniently, and resistance is futile. If he still makes excuses at this time, he will die an ugly death.

Luo Fei quickly figured out the key point, and simply confessed: Yes, I was really curious about Mo Lin at the time, and wanted to see what such an omega looked like. As a result, I found out that his legs are disabled, and hes also mentally ill. It is said that Mo Lin was kidnapped as a child with his father Fang Ziqian. His legs were broken, and he suffered a nervous breakdown after being too stimulated. I approached Mo Han to investigate this.

Ling Yu raised his eyebrows lightly, and said: You really overestimate your own strength. The Mo familys influence in the business world can almost cover the sky with one hand. Even if you doubt what happened more than ten years ago, do you think theyll leave any clues for you to investigate? In the end, you didnt find out any secrets of the Mo family, and let Mo Han discover you first.

Luo Fei lowered his head in shame: I was too careless.

Ling Yu looked at him with the sternness of an elder. Luo Fei, you are only 18 years old, and were born in a peaceful age. Your fathers protected you very well, so your experience is shallow and your thinking is simple. You have to remember, before you are sure, it is better to wait and see what happens than to act rashly. You will start at the military academy in a few days, and when you arrive at school, remember to learn and practice hard, understood?

I know, Grandpa. Luo Fei immediately nodded seriously.

Only then did Ling Yu smile. He stood up and said, Im leaving. I still have things to do, and youve had a busy day, rest up.

Lin Yuan and Luo Fei walked to the door, and Ling Yu drove Suzaku away.

Luo Fei is quite puzzled because some people seem to never grow old. Despite being a grandparent, General Ling Yu is still radiant, energetic, and well-maintained. The years have not left many traces on him, but because of the precipitation of time, he has become more stable and dignified. Perhaps because hes a soldier, his figure is tall and straight, and even His Majesty will give him three points of respect.

As a junior, Luo Fei also feels that hes too young and immature compared with the soldiers who have experienced the baptism of the battlefield.

Grandpa is right. He grew up in the palace, and has never experienced any big storms. He lived a smooth life, so when thinking about problems, he also thought too simply. This time, he acted recklessly and became a big joke.

Mo Han is different from him. The Mo family must have undergone many changes back then. In addition, Mo Han followed his father in the business world as a child. Compared with him, Mo Hans shrewdness is completely different. He really overestimated himself by pretending to act, let alone foolishly investigating the secrets of the Mo family.

So, how should he explain it to Mo Han?

No matter how perfect the lie, Mo Han will quickly unearth it. Once someone makes up a lie, they have to keep using other lies to cover it up. In front of such a smart and shrewd person, excuses are useless. The best way is to confess the truth.

Thats right, confess everything.

If he reveals everything, the truth, his doubts, and even his feelings, then all his actions can be reasonably explained.

Mo Han definitely wont accept it, but it doesnt matter, he can impress him with his sincerity.

At least now Luo Fei finally understands one truth to deal with a smart person like Mo Han, he cant beat him with his petty tricks.

Its better to be open and throw a straight ball.
