#109 - Zhao's father: This can't be my son

Chapter 111: Zhao's Father: This can't be my son

Not long after Zhao Zheng left.

President Song called his daughter.

"Haitang, this senior you found for me is truly an outstanding young man…"

In the phone call, President Song praised "Chen Ye" profusely, then said, "Haitang, do you know? This young man named Chen Ye has astonishing strength. According to our country's grading, his overall strength has reached the sixth-order standard."

"This time, the space-time rift in Luan City was entirely blocked by him alone, preventing a large-scale disaster!"

Hearing this.

Song Haitang finally couldn't help but speak, "A space-time rift appeared in Luan City?"

"Yes, it's already on the news. Didn't you know?"

Speaking of which, President Song added, "Speaking of which, Haitang, it was fortunate that you had Xiao Chen come today. If it weren't for Xiao Chen's appearance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to talk to you on the phone now."

Song Haitang was silent upon hearing this.

She didn't expect that her decision would lead Zhao Zheng to save her father and the entire Luan City!

Song Haitang deeply understood the danger of space-time rifts because she had personally experienced it.

Then, she realized that she owed Zhao Zheng a debt that she might not be able to repay in this lifetime…

On the other end of the phone, President Song saw that his daughter wasn't speaking and began to give her a pep talk:

"Haitang, Xiao Chen is really a good young man. I rarely see young people like him. He's humble, polite, has good character, is ambitious, brave, and resourceful… In short, the achievements of such a young man in the future are definitely immeasurable. I am very optimistic about his future."

"Haitang, you should have more contact with this senior."

Hearing her father praise Zhao Zheng's fake identity to the sky, Song Haitang had a strange expression.

Because she knew very well that her father didn't think highly of Zhao Zheng.

"Is he really as good as you say?" Song Haitang asked.

"Even better!" President Song couldn't help but say, "Compared to that kid from the Zhao family, he's many times better!"

Hearing this.

Song Haitang's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly thought, "Oh no!"

Just like President Song understood his daughter.

She also understood her father's temperament very well.

"Dad! Did you say anything bad about Zhao Zheng in front of Chen Ye?"

Song Haitang immediately asked.

"No!" President Song said, "What I said to Xiao Chen was all the truth."

As expected…

Song Haitang had a headache.

She knew that her father must have complained about Zhao Zheng himself to Zhao Zheng's fake identity.

Thinking of that scene, Song Haitang was so embarrassed that she wanted to cover her face.

"Dad, you're really…"

"What's wrong with me?"

"It's nothing. I'll go look at the news. I'll hang up first."

"Okay… Remember what I said! Have more contact with outstanding young people like Xiao Chen…"

"I know."

The phone hung up.

Song Haitang opened the news website and indeed saw the relevant news about Luan City.

Many media outlets reported it.

And in the content, they all mentioned a young hero wearing glasses!!

Currently, the popularity of the relevant news is very high.

I believe it will soon reach the top of the trending searches.

There are also videos in many news reports…

When Song Haitang opened the video, she immediately recognized that the man who descended from the sky and unleashed a shocking punch was Zhao Zheng!

The girl was very surprised.

She knew that Zhao Zheng was strong, but she didn't expect that Zhao Zheng was already strong to this extent?

No wonder he was able to win the title of overall champion of the three races in the third level of the spiritual realm!

With this kind of strength, who among the freshmen can compare to him?

Although Song Haitang was known as the number one among the freshmen, she knew that she was just an ornament on Zhao Zheng's leg.

The real number one is Zhao Zheng!!

Below the news, there were also many comments from netizens:

"Too strong, who is this young man?"

"What is that move that descends from the sky with a punch? The power is too fierce."

"Damn! I didn't expect that a small place like Luan City could also have a space-time rift. Fortunately, this boss was here."

"Yes! If it weren't for him, Luan City would have been in danger in this disaster."

"With this kind of strength, he has reached the sixth-order standard, right? So young, and he can master such strong strength. Our Great Xia Kingdom is indeed producing talents in large numbers."

"I am from Luan City. I just personally experienced all of this. When I heard the air raid siren, I was almost scared to death because my parents and children are all here. When I heard that the disaster was lifted, I was in tears… I want to thank this hero who saved Luan City, but I don't know who the hero is?"

"I am also very curious. Such a young powerhouse should be very famous, but I have no impression of this boss at all."

"The boss may be a low-key ascetic…"

……

Seeing the netizens praising Zhao Zheng, a proud smile appeared on Song Haitang's pretty face.

When she saw that everyone was inquiring about Zhao Zheng's identity, Song Haitang realized that things were not good.

Zhao Zheng's fake identity cannot withstand investigation.

This time, there was such a big commotion, it is estimated that someone will investigate the detailed information of "Chen Ye".

Fortunately, when she applied for a fake ID card for Zhao Zheng before, she did not let Zhao Zheng come forward directly, but went through her hands.

Those people will not be able to avoid her in the end…

Song Haitang thought for a moment and felt that it was better to take some precautions.

Let Zhao Zheng's fake identity be hidden for as long as possible.

So.

She picked up her phone and dialed an unknown number…

……

At the same time.

In Zhao Zheng's home.

He Wenli and her husband were watching TV.

What was playing on the TV was the news about the space-time rift today.

Seeing a young man appear, turn the tide, and save Luan City, the couple were very happy and filled with gratitude to that young man.

Having survived the disaster, He Wenli suddenly said, "Lao Zhao, don't you think that the figure of this young man is very similar to our son?"

Hearing this.

Zhao Chenghua couldn't help but scoff: "What are you daydreaming about? If our son is one-tenth as good as him, I can die immediately and walk away with a smile."

Hearing this, He Wenli immediately became angry.

How can you say that about your own son?

Just as He Wenli was about to get angry, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from outside.

"Dad! Mom! I'm back!"

Hearing her son's voice, He Wenli's anger instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a happy smile.

"It's our son!"

While saying this, He Wenli ran out to greet her son.

A look of relief also appeared on Zhao Chenghua's face as he stood at the door.

"Son!"

In the yard, seeing her son return safely, He Wenli seemed very excited.

The reason why she was like this was because she had just experienced a great danger, and her mood was inevitably fluctuating greatly. It was a time when her emotions were relatively volatile.

In the shelter.

He Wenli almost thought she would never see her son again.

Now that she could finally see her beloved son, she was naturally excited.

Zhao Zheng also knew that his mother must have been worried, so he immediately went up and gave her a big hug.

"Mom! I missed you so much!"

This sentence.

Was more effective than any comfort.

He Wenli immediately showed a happy smile, her eyes filled with tears.

"It's good that you're back, come inside."

He Wenli pulled Zhao Zheng into the house.

Inside the house, Zhao Chenghua was also very happy to see his son, but he still wore a stern face and scolded:

"Why did you come back at this time? Don't you know that Lu'an City is not safe now?"

The space-time rift is currently shrinking and has not completely disappeared, and there are still monsters appearing.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that Lu'an City is not safe.

Zhao Zheng was already used to his father's scolding-style concern, and immediately smiled.

"It's precisely because it's not safe that I want to come back and stay by your side! I have to protect you!"

Hearing his son say he wanted to protect them.

Zhao Chenghua originally wanted to scoff at it, but after thinking about it, this was his son's filial piety, so he couldn't scold him. He could only say: "Protect yourself and don't make us worry."

He Wenli pointed to the "Chen Ye" on the TV, who was slaughtering monsters, and asked:

"Son, do you know the young man on TV? This time, our Lu'an City was saved thanks to him alone blocking the monsters, helping Lu'an City buy half an hour of time, and waiting for reinforcements."

"I heard he also came from the provincial capital. If you know him, remember to thank him properly later, and try to build a relationship…"

Zhao Zheng instantly understood what his mother meant.

Thanking him was secondary.

Building a relationship was the main thing.

Zhao Chenghua couldn't help but retort to his wife: "What are you thinking? How could a newcomer like him know such a strong person? Moreover, such excellent young people must come from large families. Would they look up to our small family?"

Just as he said this.

The voice of the fourth uncle suddenly came from outside the door.

"Third brother! Are you home?"

"I'm here!"

Zhao Chenghua answered and got up to open the door for his fourth brother.

Seeing his fourth uncle Zhao Chengwu, Zhao Zheng politely got up to greet him: "Uncle, good afternoon."

"Huh? Zhengzi is back?"

The fourth uncle saw Zhao Zheng and immediately asked: "When did you come back?"

"Just came back!" Zhao Zheng replied with a smile.

The fourth uncle immediately said: "Then come to my place for dinner tonight and let your aunt make your favorite braised pork ribs."

This was just a polite remark.

Zhao Zheng would be stupid if he agreed immediately.

"I miss the lion's head meatballs my mom makes. I'll eat my mom's cooking tonight, and I'll try Aunt's cooking another day… Uncle, remember to come too! I want to have a couple of drinks with you."

Zhao Chenghua and his wife were very satisfied with their son's answer.

The fourth uncle also said with a smile: "Zhenwu University is indeed a prestigious school, it can really train people."

After a pause, the fourth uncle added: "By the way, third brother, I just came from the old man's place. The old man wants you to go over there, he has something to say to you."

Zhao Chenghua was stunned: "Didn't the old man just come down from the battlefield? Isn't he resting?"

"No, the old man is in a bad mood, you have to be careful later," the fourth uncle reminded.

Hearing this, Zhao Chenghua immediately had a headache.

The four brothers were all a little afraid of their father.

"You go quickly! Don't keep the old man waiting, I'll go back first."

Leaving these words behind.

Zhao Chenghu walked towards his own home.

Just as Zhao Chenghua was about to set off, Zhao Zheng suddenly said: "Dad, I'll go with you!"

"Huh?" Zhao Chenghua asked: "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Zheng said: "I feel that the old man is in a bad mood, it may be related to me…"

Before, on the battlefield where the monsters were intercepted, after the support from above arrived, he noticed that the old man had been staring at him several times, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

He didn't know what was going on.

Anyway, if there was a misunderstanding, it would be good to clear it up later.

Zhao Chenghua didn't want his son to go.

Don't look at him scolding his son when they met, but in his heart, he was very concerned about his son.

He was just afraid that the old man would deal with Zhao Zheng…

However!

Last time, the old man passed on his trump card, "Fist Wind Impact," to Zhao Zheng. In a sense, Zhao Zheng was the old man's "successor."

Some things, Zhao Zheng should face.

These thoughts flashed through Zhao Chenghua's mind, and he agreed to his son's request.

…

The old man's villa was just behind.

It was just around the corner.

Currently, the old man was living alone, and a nanny would come over to cook at meal times.

It was now a little after one in the afternoon, and the nanny had already gone home from work and would come back to cook another meal in the evening.

In fact, the four brothers were willing to have the old man eat with them, but the old man himself disagreed…

When Zhao Zheng followed his father to the old man's villa, he saw from afar that the old man was watching TV in the living room.

And what was playing on the TV was the scene of "Chen Ye" slaughtering monsters.

"Dad!"

Zhao Chenghua called out cautiously.

The old man ignored him and continued to stare at Chen Ye on TV.

Zhao Chenghua was helpless and could only say: "Your grandson Zhao Zheng is also back and insisted on coming to see you."

Hearing this.

The old man turned his head and looked at Zhao Zheng.

Originally, Zhao Zheng thought that the old man would scold him when he saw him.

Unexpectedly, the old man looked Zhao Zheng up and down, but showed a smile.

"Not bad! Looks very energetic!"

Seeing this, the father and son both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, I don't know why you called me over?" Zhao Chenghua asked.

The old man was silent for a moment, then suddenly pointed to Chen Ye on TV with his crutch and asked: "What do you think of this kid?"

Zhao Chenghua was stunned when he heard this, but he still said truthfully: "He is the hero who saved Lu'an City, and he is so young, yet he has such strength. Of course, he is a very talented person!"

The old man nodded and asked Zhao Zheng again: "Zhao Zheng, what do you think?"

Zhao Zheng: "…"

Let him evaluate himself?

To be honest, he was a little embarrassed to brag.

So he said: "So-so…"

Zhao Chenghua immediately frowned and said dissatisfied: "So-so? You're really boastful! If you had one-tenth of his ability, I'd be happy to beg for food for the rest of my life."

Zhao Zheng was taken aback and quickly said: "Dad, don't say that! What will I do if you go begging for food? I want to be a rich second generation, so you have to get rich!"

"Stop being glib!"

Zhao Chenghua quickly stopped his son.

Was he joking around here?

Did he even look at where he was?

The old man didn't mind, he just said: "Zhao Zheng, if you were to compete with this kid, would you be confident?"

Zhao Zheng was stunned: "Compete for what?"

"Compete for that girl from the Song family."

Zhao Zheng: "…"
