Electronic Nezha

Chapter 209 Donkey

After leaving the spice market, I asked Ma Chaoran directly, "Were you deliberately trying to upset your dad?" Since Old Ma was here, there was no need for Old Ma to stay close; he could only stay behind to tell Sister Hu about his experience selling urns...

During the time that Ma Chaoran and I played lovers, she was quite diligent. Her task was to use her girlfriend identity to protect my safety and avoid being discovered. Her acting was always mediocre, with occasional intimate interactions and whispered conversations, all according to the script. If we were to rate our performance as passing at 60 points, our chemistry would probably hover around 65. But she clearly added some extra scenes just now, the only explanation being that she did it on purpose for Ma Fugui's benefit.

Ma Chaoran snorted and said, "You're right, I did it on purpose. Why is it that he can be lawless when he's young, but he interferes when I'm carrying out a mission? Do people become foolish when they get old?"

I said, "It's normal for a father to want to sneak a peek at his son-in-law. He probably only acted recklessly after seeing me." As a father, who could be in a good mood when he saw his daughter's boyfriend leaving her behind to drink and carouse downstairs? Later, he lost control of his temper, and by the time I explained things to him, the prejudice had already taken root in his heart.

Ma Chaoran said, "Even if I am really in a relationship, he has no right to interfere!"

I quickly said, "Don't drag me into your argument, father and daughter. If your dad were a local, he'd probably know exactly where to bury me."

Ma Chaoran laughed and said, "No, he still knows what's important."

"At most, they'll beat me up, right?"

"Hehehehehe".

……

We went back to the Sixth Division, and Ma Fugui returned with a stern face as it was getting dark.

The koi carp said ingratiatingly, "Senior Canglang, you're back."

Ma Fugui waved his hand, looking displeased, and said, "Don't call me Canglang, I've changed my code name!"

The shark asked curiously, "What did you change it to?"

"Donkey! From now on, you'll all call me Donkey!" Old Ma began to recount his miserable experience of helping me move so many boxes in the past half day, and how he still had to chat with Sister Hu afterwards.

Ma Chaoran found it both amusing and a little pitiful, and she wasn't so angry anymore.

I asked Ma Fugui, "Uncle, have you memorized the price list?"

"I memorized all of that stuff after just one glance, but I only said that to avoid arousing suspicion."

Sixth Master said, “Fugui, that’s enough. Our mission is to protect these two men. The environment is not what it used to be.”

Ma Fugui said, "That won't do. The smaller the matter, the easier it is to make a mistake. I've never had a problem in my entire life because I'm careful enough."

Sixth Master said, "Well said—you should have been called a donkey a long time ago!"

Wolves are naturally solitary and prefer to live alone. In the desolate, icy wilderness and in the dense, treacherous forests, they hunt prey with their calm minds and agile movements, always managing to escape unscathed when danger strikes. Now, this wolf has been fitted with a bit and put on a millstone, and it has actually managed to grind two bushels of rice. The ability to complete this role reversal from wolf to donkey is truly remarkable...

Just then, a moderate alarm sounded in the living room. The laptop next to the chubby boy and the monitor on the weapons room door turned flashing red. Then, the doors and windows clicked and locked automatically.

Everyone in the Sixth Division drew their weapons. Dolphin and Koi ran into the armory in a busy but orderly manner and took out submachine guns. The old donkey casually picked up a ballpoint pen from the coffee table.

The alarm went off because a person jumped straight out of the wall into the yard. This person was carrying a bunch of coffee deliveries in each hand. He was tall and handsome, and it was Hao Hao.

The computer screen and the electronic screen on the wall recognized the person almost simultaneously, changing from red to green. However, the door lock still needed to be unlocked manually. In other words, the system had already completed the warning and locking while Hao Hao was in mid-air. The level of vigilance at the Sixth Division was indeed extraordinary.

It was a false alarm; the chubby boy entered the password and completely deactivated the alarm.

Sixth Master said speechlessly, "Didn't anyone tell that the Sixth Division can't just force its way in?"

Hao Hao peeked out and walked towards the door. Ma Fugui suddenly hid behind the door and said, "I still have a score to settle with this kid. None of you should make a sound."

Hao Hao pushed the door open with his foot and walked in, raising the coffee in his hand to signal to us.

Ma Fugui suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind, pointing the tip of his ballpoint pen at the back of Hao Hao's head beforehand, and then kicked him hard in the back of the knee with his right foot. The old man was holding a grudge from earlier that day and wanted to teach this young man a lesson he'd never forget!
Hao Hao didn't expect that someone would attack him in the Sixth Division. He keenly sensed that the other party was attacking his lower body, so he took a step forward and at the same time, the back of his head slammed into the back.

Everyone in the room was on tenterhooks. Although they knew Hao Hao was not in any danger, someone like Ma Fugui would definitely not stop when he wanted to teach his opponent a lesson. Whether it was a wolf or a donkey, he would bite ruthlessly!
"duang!"

A sound of hard objects colliding came from the air. Ma Fugui's nose was poked hard by the end of a ballpoint pen, and blood immediately started flowing from his nose.

In the nick of time, Hao Hao braced his hand behind his head while still holding a bunch of keys. Ma Fugui's pen tip struck the keychain; while the keychain wouldn't pierce the back of the head, it bounced back against metal, the pen's button delivering the fatal blow. Don Quixote charging with his lance also failed, because his opponent was a windmill—the principle is the same…

The fight ended in an instant. Ma Fugui covered his nose, walked to the coffee table, and took out some tissues to wipe away the blood. Hao Hao recognized him and naturally did not pursue him.

"Grandpa, are you alright?" Hao Hao looked a little embarrassed, like two children playing around and one of them hurt the other.

"Sigh, it's been so many years since I've shed blood." Ma Fugui sighed, but his emotions remained very stable. Although he hadn't bled for many years, he remained calm after seeing blood again. Beneath his stubborn donkey's temper, he still had the nature of a wolf.

Sixth Master watched the farce unfold with his arms crossed, and said to Hao Hao, "Don't come in like that again!"

"understood……"

Ma Fugui sat on the sofa, stuffing his nostrils with a tissue, and asked Hao Hao, "What will you do if you don't have the key?"

Hao Hao said, "Then I'll kick backward, but that will hurt you."

Ma Fugui said, "How did you know it was me, and how did you know what I was holding?"

Hao Hao silently pointed to the opposite side.

Directly opposite the main gate was a metal door, from which a hazy shadow was reflected. Ma Fugui nodded: "I'm old, my observation skills have deteriorated. Your skills are fine, but I still don't agree to you joining the Sixth Division. Liu Laoliu, give me an explanation, who brought this idiot in?"

Sixth Master pointed at me.

Ma Fugui said, "Now that we've come this far, you have to give me an explanation today. What exactly is Liu Chuanfeng worth? If he's some kind of playboy or royal relative, I'm not going to join your fun!"

I was smug for a few seconds, then said speechlessly, "Your royal relatives have been playing around in the brothel for forty years?" This old man's observation skills have really deteriorated. Hasn't he met my parents before?
Sixth Master smiled and said, "There's no explanation. You've only been at the Sixth Division for a day, and besides, you're not even one of our staff."

Ma Fugui said, "Fine, you still want to threaten me with writing reports, huh? Not only can you write reports, I can too!"

Sixth Master said, "What can you write? We're not afraid of being accused."

Ma Fugui said, "I won't make false accusations. I'll apply to formally join the Sixth Division. Do you think my qualifications and background will be approved?"

Sixth Master said in surprise, "This is truly an unexpected path—so guess who your report will end up with? Hmm, it'll probably end up with someone named Liu Laoliu. And guess if Liu Laoliu will agree to let you join the Sixth Division?"

Ma Fugui angrily said, "You really think you can treat me like a donkey?"

I quickly said, "Uncle, all the goods have been moved. You won't need to restock them."

"Is that why I'm here?"

Sixth Master said, “Fugui, the person in front of you is classified as ‘blank paper’. Even if I want to say something to you, I have to ask for permission. How about this, I will write the report and apply to the higher-ups to lift the ban on you, but we will have to see your performance first.”

Ma Fugui said, with a veiled threat, "You know the consequences of lying to me!"

Sixth Master ignored him and turned to Hao Hao, asking, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Hao Hao distributed cups of coffee to everyone, saying, "Coffee."

Sixth Master said, "Who taught you this trick? Besides, you're just giving Sixth Division coffee as a gift to the people in Sixth Division?"

Hao Hao said, "Don't worry, all of these coffees have been sold."

Everyone was completely confused. Jinli couldn't help but ask, "Huh? What does that mean?"

Hao Hao said, "These coffees were paid for by others, but they weren't finished. I brought them to you because I was afraid of wasting them."

Sixth Master said, "Does your coffee shop serve this many pots?"

Hao Hao said, "Not just today, this is what's left over from the past few days."

Everyone had a cup in hand, some had already started drinking, but after hearing what he said, their expressions became serious. It was coffee from several days ago! This stuff gives you a buff to your digestive system, and if your digestive system doesn't want to move, it adds a debuff of being expired. You have to move eventually, it's practically a godsend for constipated people.

Ma Fugui had already taken several sips and frowned, saying, "Is this guy really an idiot?"

Unexpectedly, Hao Hao said to him seriously, "I really am an idiot. How can I explain it to you? If there are levels of idiots, I used to be a professional one."

The chubby boy whispered, "It's a blank exam paper."

Ma Fugui asked, somewhat confused, "Are you an idiot? Why would Liu Chuanfeng put you in the Sixth Division?"

Hao Hao said, "Because Brother Feng is a good person, he wants me to earn money to support my mother in her old age."

Ma Fugui's gaze towards me suddenly became complicated. Chang Wei, you still dare to say you don't know martial arts when you managed to get a "professional" idiot into the Sixth Bureau?
Hao Hao said, "I joined the Sixth Bureau for my mother, but my life belongs to Brother Feng. My mission in this life is to protect him."

Sixth Master, fearing Hao Hao would say too much, said to Ma Fugui, "You'll understand these things after the ban is lifted. Don't ask any more questions before then."

Before Ma Fugui could even respond, his stomach started rumbling. The old man had done heavy physical labor all afternoon and had also drunk expired coffee; his digestive system was starting to stir...

"Alright, Lao Liu, I'll accept being treated like a donkey, just give me some food."

Sixth Master, who had remained calm throughout his long confrontation with the donkey, suddenly changed his expression: "Food? No food!"

Ma Fugui said speechlessly, "I didn't say we had to eat it now. The cook is right there, let him make it."

Jinli followed Ma Fugui's finger and looked in that direction. When she turned around and saw that no one was there, she realized he was pointing at her. Her expression changed drastically, and she asked, "Me?"

Ma Fugui said, "Should I do it?"

Sixth Master stammered, "Fugui, listen to my advice, if you know how to do it, you should do it."

Ma Fugui slammed his fist on the table and said, "I've been treated like a grandson all day, moved boxes all afternoon, and then ran into an idiot. Do you guys really not treat me like a human being?"

Upon hearing this, Sixth Master could only fiercely point at the koi and say, "You do it!"

The koi fish got up in a daze and floated towards the kitchen.

Everyone unconsciously stood up and solemnly watched Jinli go to the place he shouldn't have gone. They stood in two rows at the kitchen door, watching Jinli put on the snow-white apron.

Ma Fugui wondered, "The Sixth Division is really strange. Do they even have such a sense of ritual when cooking a meal?"
