Chapter 425: Scumbag Father

The soldiers clasped their fists and said, "Yes, Advisor Fan."

Fan Zhiheng saw the soldiers being polite to his son, and then remembered how rude they were to him. He couldn’t help but flick his sleeves and said, "A bunch of useless things!"

Upon hearing his words, none of the soldiers had any reaction. As the members of the Night Army, they heard a lot of curse words, which meant nothing to them.

Fan Zhengyin glanced at his father and realized that the person who used to beat him before was actually just a weakling. He stared at the thin and dirty Fan Zhiheng in front of him for a long time, but he couldn’t remember how he looked at his father in the past.

He also wondered why he never fought back when he was beaten before. Is it because he was still a child at that time? Is it because of his mother and younger sister? Or is he still longing for his father’s love deep inside his heart and unwilling to accept the cruel reality?

After a long silence, Fan Zhengyin finally said, "Come with me."

Seeing him turn around and walk away, Fan Zhiheng quickly followed him. After wasting five days making a fuss in front of the military camp, he finally found an opportunity to stay in the Night Army camp. He must seize this opportunity and use it wisely.

These days, Ka Huo Long keeps sending people every day to remind him, and Fan Zhiheng really doesn’t have much time left. If he couldn’t find any useful information today, he knew he’d be thrown into a boiling pot the next time he met Ka Huo Long.

While Fan Zhiheng was busy calculating and scheming, Fan Zhengyin took him to his tent. As they entered the tent, he motioned for his father to sit down and said, "Have a seat."

Fan Zhiheng frowned slightly and felt a little unhappy when he saw his son’s cold attitude towards him. In the past, as long as he frowned slightly, Fan Zhengyin would do anything to please him. But now, he is still standing and frowning, but his son is sitting there, drinking water calmly.

After standing there for a few minutes, Fan Zhiheng realized that his son really didn’t care about him at all. Thinking of the important mission, he swallowed back the cursing words he wanted to say to Fan Zhengyin. With a dark face, he sat down in front of Fan Zhengyin and poured himself a cup of water.

Fan Zhiheng took a sip of water to moisten his dry throat, and then put down the cup heavily. He looked at his son and said, "Er Lang, I’m going to stay here. Prepare a meal and a place for me to stay."

Hearing his father’s words, Fan Zhengyin said nothing. Fan Zhiheng thought he understood his son’s temper the most. He raised his chin slightly and said, "I think you are living a good life here. Since I am your father, you should be filial to me. Also, I want your younger sister to stay with me and follow me back."

Fan Zhiheng couldn’t help but smile proudly at the thought that he could use his daughter to control his son. After Fan Zhiheng said the last sentence, Fan Zhengyin put down the empty cup heavily.

He looked at his father coldly and said, "Don’t even think about it! You’d better stay away from Xue’er. Otherwise, I won’t be polite to you!"

Fan Zhiheng was startled by his cold eyes and failed to react in time. Before he could speak, Fan Zhengyin had already said, "I know you didn’t come here to see us or for us to be filial to you, so stop being hypocritical. Where is my mother?"

Fan Zhiheng suddenly became nervous when he heard his son asking about his wife. He knew that after his son grew up, the only person who could control him was only his wife. But his wife had already been eaten by the barbarians. This matter must not be known by his son. Otherwise, it will be impossible for him to complete his mission.

Sensing his father’s nervousness, Fan Zhengyin narrowed his eyes and asked dangerously: "What did you do to my mother?"

After coming back to his senses, Fan Zhiheng hurriedly said, "What can I do to her? Your mother now lives with your two Yi Niang and your younger sisters. Because she missed you and Xue’er, she begged me to come and see how you two were doing."

Fan Zhengyin knows his father’s cowardly, lazy, and greedy character best. He would not fulfill his mother’s wishes without receiving any benefit from his mother. Moreover, he knew that although his mother was weak and did not dare to go against his father, he also knew that his mother loved him and his sister the most.

If his mother is really worried about them, she would have insisted on coming here with his father. Just asking his father to come over and check on them didn’t sound like something his mother would do.

Thinking of this, Fan Zhengyin looked at his father coldly and asked, "What did my mother promise you in exchange for you to come here?"

Hearing his son’s question, Fan Zhiheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After calming down, he glared at Fan Zhengyin and said in displeasure: "What do you think of your father? Do you think your mother still has anything else valuable to give me?"

As soon as these words came out, Fan Zhengyin’s face darkened. Noticing that he said something wrong, Fan Zhiheng quickly said, "Let’s not talk about your mother. Tell me, does Xiao Da Lang plan to return to the Shang Empire? What is his next plan?"

In the past, Fan Zhiheng had never been interested in politics. He just squandered money every day on women and gambling, leading a life of prodigality. Because of this, when he asked these questions, Fan Zhengyin only thought that he wanted to return to his previous lifestyle.
