Chapter 101 Daddy Won’t Bully Them_1
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Lu Chenbing had just left in his black Passat, and the members of the War Wolf Squad were already casting not-so-friendly glances at Xu Fan, especially Deputy Commander Su Jingfeng, who was coldly sizing up Xu Fan, evidently trying to figure out how best to deal with him.
Tongtong felt everyone’s gaze and peeked out from Xu Fan’s embrace, saying to them, “Hello, big brothers, my name is Tongtong, you all look so handsome.”
“Wow, little girl, you have great taste.”
“This little missy is simply adorable.”
“Little beauty, how old are you this year?”
Seeing the cute Tongtong, the members’ eyes softened a great deal, almost melted by her adorable appearance.
Su Jingfeng also liked Tongtong very much, as Tongtong reminded him of his sister Su Jingxue’s cute appearance when she was young, which naturally gave Su Jingfeng a sense of kinship towards Tongtong.
However, Tongtong wasn’t shy, facing a crowd of tall big brothers, she showed a cute smile, waved her hand inanely, and said, “Hello, big brothers, my name is Tongtong, I’m four and a half years old this year.”
Xu Fan touched Tongtong’s little braid, his face full of pride.
Look, this is my precious daughter, envy will kill you guys.
Although the sight of Tongtong wrapped in Xu Fan’s arms gave Su Jingfeng a warm feeling of nostalgia, the more he saw her clinging to Xu Fan, the colder his expression became. The idea of using a cute kid as a shield, do you think we from the War Wolf Squad are so easy to deceive? Unless I teach you a lesson today, I’m not a Su, Su Jingfeng thought bitterly.
“It seems, sir, that you have a quite big problem with me,” Xu Fan said to Su Jingfeng with an innocuous smile, touching Tongtong’s little head.
“I am the Deputy Commander of the War Wolf Squad, Su Jingfeng!” Su Jingfeng said, rubbing his wrists and introducing himself in a low voice.
“Su Jingfeng? That name sounds so familiar,” Xu Fan recalled Su Jingxue who had come earlier that day on a motorcycle to investigate him, feeling that the names sounded similar, and there were many similarities in their facial features as well.
“Enough talk, since you’re here to be our instructor, you’d better show some real skill. Sorry, but we at War Wolf don’t need someone who’s just here to point fingers and give orders,” Su Jingfeng told Xu Fan brusquely.
“Oh? Real skills, what kind of real skills would you like to see?” Xu Fan asked with interest.
Xu Fan had already noticed the distrust of the War Wolf Squad, but gaining their trust simply required him to take all of them down, and as an instructor, he naturally couldn’t take the initiative to knock them down. Pretentiousness would be fatal; he must make them come to him, serving their faces up for him to smack.
Therefore, Xu Fan acted very restrained, making Su Jingfeng and the rest of the War Wolf Squad think that the new instructor seemed to be just a frail young man who spoke drily and certainly couldn’t subdue a group of brave warriors like them.
“Real skills, of course, mean showing what you’ve got. You want to be our instructor, you’ve got to have something impressive,” Su Jingfeng told Xu Fan bluntly.
“It doesn’t seem quite right to start fighting when we’ve just met, especially when I’m holding my daughter and it’s not appropriate to fight, maybe some other time,” Xu Fan deflected with some subtlety, of course pretending.
“How can we make it next time? The folks from our War Wolf Squad can hardly wait to see your skills, Instructor. Don’t worry, I’ll let the worst fighter in our team have a go with you. If you think that’s not good enough, I’ll tell him to use only one hand. How about that?” Su Jingfeng said confidently to Xu Fan. He clearly got carried away by Xu Fan’s evasion, thinking Xu Fan’s refusal was due to lack of confidence and unwillingness to fight for real, so he pressed even harder.
“Oh? Fists and feet have no eyes; I think it’s better to forget it after all. It wouldn’t be good if Chief Commander Lu found out about our first meeting today, right?” Xu Fan added.
“Relax, if you don’t tell and I don’t tell, Chief Commander Lu won’t find out.” Xu Fan’s backpedaling made Su Jingfeng feel even more that Xu Fan was not only weak and incompetent but also cowardly. Therefore, he was eager to see Xu Fan embarrass himself and to get revenge for his sister Su Jingxue.
“Well, if that’s the case, then I’ll play along, but let’s get one thing straight. No matter who gets hurt, no running to the higher-ups to snitch, okay?” Xu Fan said with a slight smile to Su Jingfeng.
“Of course, we’re all grown-ups here. No one’s going to snitch. Come on, we definitely won’t let this get out.” Su Jingfeng replied quickly when he heard Xu Fan agree.
However, seeing Xu Fan’s faint smile, Su Jingfeng suddenly felt like he had fallen into a trap. That inscrutable smile on Xu Fan’s face was baffling, as if Xu Fan’s earlier deferrals were all for this moment of consent. Now the smile on Xu Fan’s face made Su Jingfeng feel like there was a hint of cunning triumph.
“Could it be a trick?” Su Jingfeng took a careful look at Xu Fan: thin, with delicate skin, clearly someone accustomed to a pampered life indoors. Then he looked at his War Wolf Squad members, all of them robust, tall, with healthy bronze skin, their muscles straining their training gear, boasting undeniable physical prowess.
Su Jingfeng internally chastised himself for overthinking it. The way Xu Fan looked, he didn’t seem much of a fighter. He must be setting up a ruse to confuse him. So Su Jingfeng stopped fixating on it and said to the worst combatant in the War Wolf Squad: “Dongzi, since Instructor Xu has graciously invited us, you should spar with him a bit. Remember, this is just a friendly exchange, so make sure to pull your punches. We absolutely can’t have Instructor Xu getting hurt.”
Hearing this, Dongzi, ready to show his stuff, stepped out of the ranks and gave Su Jingfeng a knowing look, saying, “Got it!”
Subtext in Su Jingfeng’s words was clear to Dongzi. Su Jingfeng meant that as long as Xu Fan wasn’t injured, he could do as he pleased. It would be best to make Xu Fan suffer a little.
Although Dongzi was the weakest in combat fighting within the squad, that was only when compared to the other War Wolf Squad members. Against an ordinary person, he was a fearsome opponent, capable of taking down seven or eight by himself.
Seeing Dongzi limbering up his wrists and beginning to warm up, Xu Fan gently placed Tongtong on the ground and said, “Tongtong, go play over there with Ben Ben for a bit, okay? Daddy needs to help this brother train.”
“Daddy, are you guys going to fight? Mommy says fighting is bad,” Tongtong said with a pout, dissatisfied with Xu Fan.
“Don’t worry, it’s not a fight, it’s sparring. Daddy’s not a bad guy; how could he fight?” Xu Fan replied earnestly to Tongtong.
“Oh, then Daddy can’t bully this brother, okay? Mommy says bullying other kids makes you a bad egg,” Tongtong once again spoke up for Dongzi.
“What? Daddy’s so kind, how could I bully him? And your mom, why does she talk so much?” Xu Fan, hearing Tongtong’s words, felt speechless. Everything Xu Yixue taught Tongtong—fighting is bad, bullying is wrong—all of it was loser’s logic. In the Cultivation World, where power is revered, there is no such thing as right or wrong. The one with the bigger fist is always right. To earn respect, you need a bigger fist. The weak don’t have the right to argue, and the strong are always correct.
Even in this world, this rule still applies, just too cruel for ordinary people to bear.
It seems he would have to seriously work on shifting his daughter’s values in the future. Raising a daughter is indeed a long and arduous task.
Xu Fan coaxed his daughter to go to the side with the dog, then stood up tall, keeping his eyes on Dongzi across from him.
