Chapter 937: Chapter 937 Your Dad Has Two Faces

"It’s all your fault! Not teaching the child properly! Being a lone hero!" Suizi berated Yu Jingting, hammering down on him with every sentence.

Yu Jingting felt somewhat wronged, yet didn’t dare to fight back.

Suizi stretched out her hand and grabbed his throat, threatening the frightened Ma Dong on the bed, "If you dare to act recklessly again, I’ll strangle him!"

"For... why?" Yu Jingting played along with a falsetto voice, pretending to be choked by Suizi.

"The fault lies with the parent if the child isn’t taught, if he dares to show off again, I can’t hit him, but I’ll hit you!" Suizi threatened fiercely.

Yu Jingting played along, tilting his neck and sticking out his tongue, ah, he was a goner.

Ma Dong, scared into a ball, retorted in a tiny voice:

"I didn’t want to be a hero, I just wanted to know what he was up to..."

"You just keep quiet, the child was also considering our interests, hasn’t he achieved a great feat? Without his bravery, we would still be clueless about when we’d uncover anything."

The Yu Family had been investigating Li Tieguang, and progress was slow; Ma Dong’s actions indeed helped the family tremendously.

Men and women have different perspectives on child-rearing, Yu Jingting liked a child who was brave and smart, but Suizi felt it was too risky, absolutely not permissible.

"I’m docking your allowance for a month! Dare to talk back, and I’ll dock it for half a year!"

Yu Jingting made a zipping motion over his mouth. Couldn’t he even keep silent?

"For things like this, you should discuss them with us first, do you know how dangerous it is?" Suizi asked.

"I know."

Ma Dong bowed his head.

He had thought about the potential danger ever since Suizi stopped him from contacting Li Tieguang alone.

Yu Jingting stood behind Suizi, silently mouthing to Ma Dong: apologize quickly.

"I’m sorry for worrying you." Ma Dong bowed, he genuinely wanted to do something for the family.

Suizi’s heart softened as well; how could she not love such a child, yet she worried about him running headlong into danger like he did today.

"Knowing you’ve done wrong is good, this time I’ll just—" Suizi was about to let it go, only to hear Ma Dong, head lowered in the most cowardly pose, saying the most assertive words.

"But I’m not sorry, if I had to do it over, I would go."

"..." Suizi felt utterly powerless.

"Pfft." Yu Jingting couldn’t hold back his laughter at the side; he seemed to see himself as a little boy. The kid appeared so quiet and gentle, yet was so stubborn when it came down to it.

Before Suizi could glare at him, Yu Jingting quickly suppressed his smile,

"Wife, go ask the doctor how long we’ll have to stay, I’ll educate him."

Suizi narrowed her eyes and pointed at his nose, "Don’t you dare instill any of your nonsensical ideas in him!"

Yu Jingting promised, and as Suizi left, not fully at ease, she lingered at the door to listen for a while.

"Your mom is just too worried about you. When you passed out, she was nearly hysterical, look at my clothes, she soaked them with her tears. It’s a good thing you’re okay. Had you lost an arm or a leg, she could have brought down the Great Wall with her crying, and then our entire family would have been taken away."

"Why?"

"Destruction of Cultural Relics, to keep the Great Wall from falling, you’d have to listen to her! No matter how big the issue, it’s not as important as you all being safe."

Well, those words sure sounded like a good dad.

Suizi turned away and left, Yu Jingting’s ears twitched as he heard the footsteps fade away in the corridor, then he patted Ma Dong’s shoulder.

"Good lad, you’re really capable. Get well soon, and I’ll take you ice skating. Jiaojiao and the little fatty were involved too, right? Call her over as well; we’ll have a heroes’ feast to celebrate!"

"Dad, how did you know?!" Ma Dong was wide-eyed and tongue-tied, impressed by how awesome his father was.

He would never in a million years rat out his fellow "comrades-in-arms," and his mother hadn’t noticed anything, but Dad had guessed it!!!

"I saw you three huddling together early this morning, sneaking around, and you’re not the kind of kid to rummage through things randomly. Only Jiaojiao knows where the blank ledger at home is kept. As for the little fatty, I just don’t believe he wasn’t involved."

The little fatty was his sister’s loyal lackey.

No matter how smart Ma Dong was, his age was still an obvious factor.

If it weren’t for the mishap during the retreat, today’s operation would have been flawlessly executed.

This fishing tactic, wasn’t it just the little fatty’s chess strategy?

Everything was interconnected. Li Tieguang, with all his caution, was no match for these clever youngsters’ calculations.

"Dad, can you not tell mom about Auntie and Uncle Fatty’s involvement?" Ma Dong was quite responsible.

He feared Suizi would punish the two of them.

The reason Ma Dong chose to ally with Jiaojiao was a decision he made after much observation.

He knew Suizi cared too much for him and didn’t want him in danger, but he had grown up reading the books Suizi gave him, conversing with great human spirits, and he’d come to understand something: No pain, no gain.

The adults talked, and he and his aunt picked up bits and pieces, even if they didn’t understand everything, they managed to piece together some of the situation.

This Li Tieguang was evidently a safety risk, a threat to the entire family.

The best way to find out the truth was for Ma Dong to act as bait, and he had this idea.

Jiaojiao and the little fatty, in their secret discussions, had also come to the same conclusion.

After some tentative connections, they realized they were birds of a feather, and then it was unstoppable.

"Damn, truly worthy of being my old Yu family’s kid, so tough." Yu Jingting was smugly proud, looking at the child his wife had raised, one excellent after another.

"You’re not mad at me anymore?" Ma Dong felt like his dad probably had two faces.

"There’s never been a precedent of scolding heroes, and the first step of a genius is often rebellion. You think your mom is teaching you all softly? Isn’t she rebellious? If she weren’t, would she marry the number one guy in the village? Does any other woman have her guts?"

"Uh..." Ma Dong was a bit bewildered when Yu Jingting referred to himself as the top guy in the village.

"This time you get the top credit, but if you have such operations again, you need to call me. I guarantee you won’t get hurt and will still have thrilling fun. Boys need to be a bit adventurous, as long as we don’t get hurt. If you get injured, the scaredy-cat women in our house will be crying—"

Suizi stepped in the room, and Yu Jingting instantly switched to a stern father’s face.

"If you dare to be reckless again, I’ll break your legs!"

"Don’t be too harsh on the child; he’s still sick." Suizi was full of compassion.

Yu Jingting pretended to be very angry, retreating behind Suizi, making faces and winking at Ma Dong.

Ma Dong was once again stunned by Yu Jingting’s face-changing skills... Maybe all real men are like this?

Yu Jingting had a huge influence on the boy. During boys’ growing years, they often see their fathers as idols. Through this incident, Yu Jingting grew fonder of the child and was inclined to nurture him, imparting many genuine skills.

All the excellent qualities of Yu Jingting were perfectly inherited by Ma Dong, though there were side effects as well.

Though under Suizi’s guidance, the children in the family had not followed in Yu Jingting’s footsteps of using colorful language, but both boys had perfectly copied the fear of the inside trait.

The doctor let the couple take their child home for observation instead of a hospital stay. On the way back, Ma Dong recounted the conversations he had overheard.
