After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 867 - 856: Great Story!

Walking into the office, Bi Xia looked at Du Han, who appeared dejected, and let out a chuckle. He nodded at Meng Chi, and after Meng Chi closed the door, Bi Xia turned around and sat in the swivel chair behind the desk. "Let’s hear it."

Du Han looked at Bi Xia’s expression, which was a mix of amusement and gossip, and sighed lightly. With a bitter smile, he said, "Your current demeanor completely fell apart after your earlier serious act."

Bi Xia shrugged, "That’s why we need to close the door to talk. Can’t let those trainees see, right?"

Noticing Bi Xia’s childish expression, Meng Chi laughed and sat on the sofa, saying to Du Han, "Captain Du, you’d better get used to it. The boss is like this, suddenly serious, suddenly... hmm... playful."

Playful...

At Meng Chi’s descriptor, the corners of Du Han’s mouth twitched, and he let out a chuckle. He also sat on the sofa, rubbed his nose, "I never thought such a big shot of the X Group and the Pavilion Master of Nine Pavilion could be so gossipy."

"Hey!" Bi Xia widened his starry eyes, "Who said a big shot can’t be gossipy? Who said that?" Then, he looked at Meng Chi, "Chi, has anyone ever said that?"

Meng Chi shook his head with open palms, "Boss, I’ve never heard of that. Anyway, I know my uncle is really gossipy, and very much so."

Meng Chi’s uncle is Chu Hansong, the big shot of the Chu Group. It’s something that everyone in Qing City knows. After bringing up Chu Hansong, Du Han’s mouth twitched, "Alright, alright, I’ll talk."

Du Han sighed, and Bi Xia’s eyes lit up. Here it comes, the prelude to a tragic story!

Du Han said slowly, "You know I used to be a special forces soldier. During a mission, I met Zizun’s mother, who’s now my wife. We fell in love at first sight and couldn’t control it—we clapped."

This time, it was Bi Xia’s turn to twitch at the corners of his mouth. Tsk, what a beautiful encounter.

He exchanged a glance with Meng Chi, who shrugged, also feeling a bit speechless. Maybe this is the way of the special forces; ignoring the beautiful process and jumping straight to the outcome. Probably the next sentence will be how Du Zizun was born.

"Then... when I returned to the base in the second month, I received a message from my wife. She was pregnant."

Bi Xia: ...

Meng Chi: ...

"After that, I was overjoyed and quickly filed a marriage report, applying to go back and get married," Du Han paused. "Who knew, before I could submit the report, a mission came up. This mission took us a full year to complete, and by the time I came back, Zizun was already born."

"That’s how, after I came back, I first took my wife to get a marriage certificate," Du Han shook his head and bitterly smiled, "At that time, I planned to register Zizun under my household, but given my job and its risks, my wife suggested we don’t register Zizun under my name, to avoid any trouble from enemies. That way, there would be a fallback."

"So that’s how Zizun wasn’t registered under my household and had been living in another province. Except for when I had no leave each year to go visit him in another province, we spent the rest of the time apart."

"It wasn’t until I retired that I brought the child back."

"However..." Speaking of this, Du Han sighed again, "Zizun heard about Yuan Gang and insisted on going there. I was worried he would be negatively influenced by them. Besides, Yuan Hai is no easy character, and I couldn’t leave my child in danger, could I?"

"Since Zizun was entering high school, I sent him to another province for high school. This summer, Zizun had just finished his college entrance exams. He did quite well, so I enrolled him in Beijing Foreign Language University and brought him back to spend more time with his mom."

"Later, Zizun and I had a big argument at home, and in a fit of anger, I put him into training... And then... the rest, you know..."

Bi Xia: ...

Meng Chi: ...

"Tsk," Bi Xia looked at Meng Chi, "It’s really quite the touching story."

Meng Chi clapped, "Suddenly feeling a bit sorry for Du Zizun for some reason."

Bi Xia and Meng Chi smiled. For a dad who throws you into situations as he pleases, surviving until now is an achievement in itself.

Du Han: ... First time having a son, is it my fault?
