Chapter 301 Legendary Advice from Father

"what?!"

Zhang Leiyuan exclaimed, and then he slammed his right hand heavily on the desk in front of him. Bang!

When he heard that his son had been robbed and murdered twice by the Liao family of East China, his originally calm face was instantly shrouded in gloom. He clenched his fists unconsciously, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.

However, he has been dealing with powerful families for many years and has been able to handle all kinds of pressure with ease. He has extraordinary self-control.

He took a deep breath, calming himself down. As his breathing became steady, his expression regained composure, though anger still smoldered faintly in the depths of his eyes.

He asked, his voice trying to remain steady, yet a hint of tension still lingered. "Xiao Heng, wasn't it just once? Your Uncle Luo told me about this last time. You were attacked by the Liao family when you were in Central China."

He frowned slightly, a hint of doubt and confusion flashing in his eyes, "But the championship challenge had just ended at that time, I couldn't act rashly, and they actually attacked a second time?"

His tone gradually became lower, and the last few words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying uncontrollable anger and dissatisfaction.

When Zhang Heng saw his father suppressing his anger, a warm feeling surged in his heart, and at the same time he felt distressed for the pressure his father had been bearing for many years.

He pursed his lips slightly and said calmly, "Father, the second time was on the vast ocean. If I hadn't used my trump card, I would have never been able to escape. Moreover, I also happened to meet Duan Guanjun from South China at that time."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Leiyuan's eyes instantly sharpened like an eagle, his slightly narrowed eyes revealing a hint of vigilance and thought. "I even ran into Duan Guanjun at the sea fishing competition..."

He muttered to himself, his voice low and cold, "This matter is indeed a bit strange. There may be other forces behind the scenes fanning the flames. And is Duan Guanjun's appearance just a coincidence?"

Zhang Heng didn't say much, because his father's insights would definitely be more profound than what he, a minor, could see. Perhaps Duan Guanjun really wanted to use his father's hand to eradicate the cancer of the Liao family in East China.

Zhang Leiyuan slowly walked to the desk, resting his hands on it, and said, "I won't let the Liao family go. But before I do anything, I need to figure out the twists and turns behind this. I can't become a sharp knife in the hands of others and be used to remove the thorn in their side, the Liao family."

Zhang Leiyuan’s bottom line is his family. He will not let anyone off easily if they dare to touch his family.

Just like that time in Echeng Prison, when the former Central China leader Zhao Guanjun wanted to detain Zhang Heng, tacitly accepting him as the so-called "ideal man," Zhang Leiyuan at the time didn't even take the highly respected Elder Zhao seriously. What was the Liao family of East China worth now?

Zhang Leiyuan patted Zhang Heng's shoulder and said gently, "Xiao Heng, don't worry about these things. Just focus on preparing for school. I plan to go to East China to take the regional championship. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in South China for long in the future. Be careful about everything."

Zhang Heng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, because being able to reach the top of China had already proved his father's strength. The Zhang family would also become a champion family and would no longer be a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied.

Then, he looked at Zhang Heng and asked, "Do you want to keep a Pokémon as a trump card to protect you in a critical moment?"

Zhang Heng thought for a moment and shook his head. Zhang Leiyuan knew what was going on; he'd long known Zhang Heng had hidden tricks up his sleeve, but he never questioned him. He trusted his son and wanted him to gain more experience.

After that, the atmosphere relaxed slightly, and Zhang Leiyuan changed his tone to a more relaxed one: "By the way, regarding admissions, how is your major selection going? This is related to your future development, so you must consider it carefully."

Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "I don't have any good ideas yet."

Zhang Leiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of thought flashing across them, and he spoke earnestly, "Xiao Heng, I think you might consider studying both the Trainer and the Physician majors."

Zhang Heng looked puzzled upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask, "Studying two majors at the same time? Father, both majors involve a lot of knowledge and skills. I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the standards by then, and I'll end up with a mediocre understanding."

Zhang Leiyuan suddenly assumed an air of authority, his tone carrying a certain undeniable authority. "Don't worry! In the past, there was a brilliant genius at the Goose City Academy. He was a trainer and a physician, and in terms of practical combat, he was already at the pinnacle of China, and he soon became one of the regional champions!"

As he spoke, Zhang Leiyuan stood up, put his hands behind his back, and began pacing in the study, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.

"In the medical field, he's unmatched. He was able to use static arcs to create a sterile surgical environment in the extremely harsh conditions of the wild, successfully saving many seriously injured people and Pokémon. This is an unprecedented feat!"

Zhang Heng listened, his face filled with shock and admiration at first, his mouth slightly open, his eyes wide, and the legendary image of that genius involuntarily emerged in his mind.

But as Zhang Leiyuan continued to talk, his expression gradually became speechless, because he suddenly realized that all the details he described sounded like they were talking about himself.

Zhang Heng looked helpless, his lips twitching as he said with a wry smile, "Dad, the genius you're talking about isn't you, is he?"

Zhang Leiyuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, a hint of pride on his face. "As expected of my son, you guessed it right away! So, with your dad's success as your example, are you still hesitant?"

Zhang Heng curled his lips and rolled his eyes: "You're really good, but then again, weren't you tired back then?"

Zhang Leiyuan sat back in his chair, took a sip of tea, and looked relaxed. "It was definitely hard, but at the time, I had no choice. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many eyes were staring at me, a second-generation leader, hoping to find flaws in me to use as a weapon to strike back at your grandfather and overthrow the foundation he built."

Zhang Heng nodded upon hearing this, knowing that the burden his father had shouldered over the years was indeed very heavy.

At this point, Zhang Leiyuan changed the subject and said, "But...plan your time wisely and master the correct methods. The Trainer major has given me a strong fighting ability, and the Physician major has given me a better understanding of the physical condition of Pokémon. The two complement each other and have been of great help at many critical moments."

Zhang Heng held his chin and thought carefully. He already had some intention in his mind: "Okay, since you say so, then I will give it a try."

Zhang Leiyuan didn't push the child at this time and continued, "You don't need to put such a heavy burden on yourself. It's okay to be happy in your academic life."

Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "It's okay, Dad. By the way, where is the location of the ancient ruins you mentioned? I also want to go explore it."

Zhang Leiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if considering the danger Zhang Heng would face. Then he said, "I'll send the coordinates to your communication device."

"Swish~" Zhang Leiyuan took out the commemorative ball from his arms, slid the red ball across it, put the Xi Cui Nian Meir next to it into the ball, and then put it on the coffee table.

"Take it with you. It's very powerful and can help you. You can also try your guess and see if you can make it evolve..."

Suddenly, Zhang Heng's mother's voice came from downstairs, interrupting their conversation.

"Xiao Heng, Xiao Min is here to see you..."
