Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 40: Birth! I'll Kill You! (Please Read On)
Chen Shijun rushed home early after the meeting ended ahead of schedule, since it was rare for his parents to come over. However, upon entering the door, he immediately saw his father, whose face was ashen.

"Dad, why are you standing there? What brings Xiaoyuan here?"

Chen Shijun felt a headache coming on. He had forgotten what the girl had told him. He had been quite busy lately and couldn't possibly keep everything in mind.

But why does Father's face look so cold, as if he's looking at a prisoner? Could it be that we didn't treat En Hui well? That shouldn't be the case. Although that girl's work ability is so-so, she couldn't possibly have done such a small thing wrong.

Before he could think any further, a large, iron-like hand grabbed his collar and swung a fist at him. Although Chen Shijun managed to dodge and save his face, the sharp pain in his head made him see black.

"Born! I'll destroy you!"

Chen Shijun only heard his father's angry shouts, then his mother's cries, and Xiao Yuan's protective back as she stood beside him.

"Luckily I didn't bring a gun, or I would have been paralyzed."

I don't understand why my father is so angry when we suddenly meet. He was perfectly fine when we talked on the phone earlier today. There's a good chance he misunderstood something.

What deep-seated hatred could drive someone to risk having no heir to kill themselves? After regaining his senses, Chen Shijun stared intently at Xiao Yuan, feeling that the problem must lie with her.

"Uncle, you've misunderstood! That's how it is. You can't hit Se-joon oppa."

During the brief moment when Chen Shijun was stunned by the beating, Yuan Ying recounted the whole story at an extremely fast pace.

Releasing his grip on Chen Shijun's head, Xiaoyuan felt a chill run down her spine from the interrogative gaze of Chen's father. For the sake of this oppa, Xiaoyuan dared not hide anything.

"Is that really the case? Come over as soon as you wake up. That brat gave me a fright. I thought we had a scoundrel in our family."

Although he dealt a heavy blow to his son, the old father did not feel that he had done anything wrong. The suspicions against the two men had not been cleared, and who knew what they were up to.

Chen Shijun cried out that he was wronged, but there was nothing he could do. Even a billionaire like him could only accept his bad luck when he encountered such a thing. He had been beaten a lot by his strict father when he was a child, and he only felt some warmth in Seoul.

The old man had no qualms whatsoever. He'd heard that people easily go astray once they have money, and Chen Shijun was surrounded by too many beautiful women. Who knew if he'd get tired of them and seek some thrills?

However, since the girl has now given a reasonable explanation, we can only hope for the best and not really pin unfounded accusations on our son.

Based on his experience interrogating prisoners, the girl was telling the truth, meaning that this guy did indeed have a younger sister outside, which was somewhat different from his usual style.

"Good boy, he's got a hard head, don't worry, he'll be fine. Look at him, he's jumping around like a madman!"

As they got to know each other better, he couldn't bring himself to dislike the girl. Since it was all a misunderstanding, it would be good to clear it up. It was also a good thing that his son wasn't a bad guy.

After the Chen family was relieved of the crisis of extinction, the world where only Chen Shijun was injured was achieved. Only his little sister Xiaoyuan was applying medicine to him. What was originally a happy family reunion turned into this.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuan displayed an amazing level of friendliness, quickly calling everyone "uncle" and "auntie," which made Chen Shijun wonder if these were really his parents.

The girl acted as if to say, "Oh, so Uncle and Auntie are police officers! I've always wanted to be a police officer, but I ended up being an idol instead." This kind of flattery even made her usually stern father smile slightly.

"With your height, you would be very impressive if you became a policeman. You would definitely be the face and symbol of our national police department. Let me tell you, the police department is at a huge loss."

"Your Uncle Chen is absolutely right. Back then, I was known as the most beautiful girl in the Pohang Police Station, but I was still far inferior to Yuan Ying."

The father, who rarely jokes, expressed his regret in a serious manner, but also said that being a policeman or an idol can both demonstrate one's value.

The mother lacked the father's excellent interrogation experience, but due to her bias towards her son, she felt it was impossible for such a thing to happen, so she trusted Xiaoyuan's explanation implicitly.

Ultimately, she just wanted to hear what she wanted to hear, and once she heard what she wanted to hear, the mother was naturally pleased and looked at Xiaoyuan with even more affection. Chen Shijun knew perfectly well that this girl was lying; this girl even dreamed of becoming a pastry chef, but she had no dream of becoming a policeman.

Since Dunamu's company has grown rapidly, his status has also risen accordingly. He has rarely been as embarrassed as he is today. He doesn't know why Xiaoyuan is looking at him with such shame.

He shook his head, pretending to be nonchalant. His calm demeanor didn't seem like he had just been punched in the head. His nonchalant attitude made Xiao Yuan believe what Chen's father said.

"Father and Mother, you can stay here for now. I'll sign you two up for a trip abroad later. Anyway, the police department doesn't need you to do any work."

The two elderly people who are about to retire should naturally make way for the younger generation. It would be despicable for them to cling to their positions. Although the father felt that he still had fuel in his tank, he could not ultimately go against the rules.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll go back to my hometown after the New Year. I came here this time to see if you've found a proper girlfriend, not one of those messy ones from before."

After this ordeal, the father said seriously that he had long been dissatisfied with Chen Shijun's behavior. He used to be young and impetuous, but now he was not young anymore.

The man was hiding a young girl in his house, and because she was hot from tidying up, she was only wearing shorts and was barefoot, which looked quite inappropriate.

Chen Shijun could feel that after hearing these words, Xiao Yuan suddenly tightened her grip on his head while massaging him, and even unconsciously grabbed his hair, causing him to wince in pain.

"You know, many women are getting close to me now, but I can't trust them. The ways society hunts down young, single, and wealthy men like us are all sorts of bizarre."

Although it was a complete excuse, it was also the truth. My father was old-fashioned, but he wasn't someone who didn't use the internet. On the contrary, he was good at learning new knowledge.

He is also concerned about the gender conflict in society recently. His son works hard to earn money and he doesn't want him to lose half or a portion of his gold coins. However, this situation cannot continue.

"Making so much money but being afraid of this and that, it's a waste of all that money."

His mother was also muttering to herself, but Chen Shijun didn't take it to heart at all. He just stared at Xiao Yuan, who was still in a daze, and it took the child a long time to come back to her senses.

"Oppa's right, they're all bad women. You really need to be careful. What are you looking at on your phone? Are you looking at bad women?"

Seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Chen had turned and gone to the bedroom, Xiao Yuan leaned over and solemnly told them that if this oppa let that bad woman get his gold coins, it would be worse than killing him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? There are no bad women out there. How could I possibly fool around with a bad woman?"

While I was clearly looking at Dr. An's party-building progress, Xiao Yuan insisted on craning her neck to look. Luckily, I was quick-witted and grabbed her by the neck.

"That's none of your business. Why did you suddenly show up today, causing me to get punched for no reason?"

Strictly speaking, this girl is the culprit, although the father's impulsiveness also played a role.

Meanwhile, in Bundang District, Gyeonggi Province, not far away, another family also experienced some minor friction, with the child complaining about the father.

"Dad, really! My sisters and I are going to celebrate your birthday this weekend, and you have to go and do security work for some founding ceremony. What does it have to do with you?!"

A young girl was tugging at her father's arm, complaining incessantly about working overtime. Her narrow, upturned eyes were particularly sharp, and her triangular face was firm and full.

　Today is Tuesday, a crucial time for recommendations, so please read to the last page! Brothers, please, I haven't even gotten on the third round yet.
