Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag
Chapter 35 Suspicion Arises Within the Family: The Human Heart Is Hard to Decipher
The aftershocks of the explosion were still ringing in my ears. I felt as if I had been run over by a dozen trucks, and my whole body ached.
After finally climbing into the Gong family's jeep, I slumped into the back seat, wanting nothing more than to close my eyes and rest.
Gong Lin drove the car, his expression somewhat grave.
"Hiss... this mastermind is really pulling big." I rubbed my shoulder and couldn't help but complain.
Gong Lin glanced at me in the rearview mirror. "Luckily you reacted quickly, otherwise we would all have been killed there."
I waved my hand, "We're like brothers, bound by life and death!"
Back at the Gong family home, before I could even catch my breath, I felt a blast of cold air hit me in the face.
Gong Lin's father stood in the living room, dressed in a crisp military uniform, his eyes sharp as knives, staring straight at me.
The atmosphere froze instantly. I felt like a little rabbit that had wandered into a wolf's den, trembling with fear.
"Dad, this is..." Gong Lin was interrupted by his father before he could finish speaking.
"Get out." His father's voice was deep and carried an unquestionable authority.
Gong Lin glanced at me, seemingly hesitant.
I nodded slightly to him, signaling him to go out first.
Gong's father's gaze scanned me like an X-ray, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.
"You're Miao Qing?"
I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "Yes, Uncle."
“I don’t care who you are or what your purpose is, I hope you stay away from my son and don’t drag him into your trouble.” His tone was icy, carrying a clear warning.
A feeling of grievance welled up inside me. What did I mean by dragging him into trouble?
He's the one who dragged me into this mess!
I'm not taking the blame for this!
Just as I was about to retort, Father Gong said again, "I know you are very smart and capable, but some things are not for a young girl like you to get involved in."
A little girl?! I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Uncle, I..."
"You don't need to explain, I don't want to hear it." He raised his hand to interrupt me. "Go away, and don't come to the Gong family again."
I...I fucking...
"Dad!" Gong Lin's voice came from outside the door...
"Dad!" Gong Lin strode in, his brows furrowed. "How could you treat Miao Qing like this? If it weren't for her, neither of us would have made it back!"
Gong's father's face turned ashen, and he glared at Gong Lin, "What do you know? Children shouldn't interrupt!"
"I'm not a child!" Gong Lin's tone hardened. "Dad, if it weren't for Miao Qing's quick reaction in the abandoned factory, the bomb would have exploded long ago! She even saved my life! She also helped me find those documents!"
I took a deep breath and decided to say a few words in my defense.
“Uncle, I know you’re worried about Gong Lin, but it’s not what you think. I didn’t want to get him involved in any trouble. I just want to find out who’s behind this and give those innocent people an explanation.” I tried my best to keep my tone calm and explained the whole story clearly, including the clues I found and my speculations.
Gong's father's expression softened slightly, but his eyes were still full of suspicion.
"You make it sound so easy. Do you know what's going on behind the scenes? This isn't child's play!"
“I know how serious this is,” I said firmly. “That’s precisely why I’m so determined to find out the truth. And, Uncle, you can’t treat me like a child. You’ve seen the role I played in this incident.”
Father Gong fell silent, staring intently at me as if assessing my words.
An eerie silence fell over the room, as if the air had frozen.
I could feel my heart pounding, and my palms were sweating.
Just when I was about to give up, Father Gong finally spoke.
“You…” He paused, his eyes filled with complex emotions, “Come with me to the study.”
I……
I took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
Gong's father's gaze was like a knife, scraping across me and sending chills down my spine.
Fortunately, Gong Lin held my hand tightly the whole time, and the warmth from his palm gave me great strength.
I secretly squeezed his hand back and gave him a grateful look.
That old fox is definitely up to something!
Following Mr. Gong into the study, a strong scent of ink wafted over, and the walls lined with bookshelves displayed the owner's erudition and authority.
Gong's father walked to the desk and sat down, gesturing for me to sit down as well.
I obediently sat down in the chair opposite him, feeling as if I were being judged.
"Tell me, who exactly are you?" Father Gong asked bluntly, his tone serious.
I had anticipated his question, so I repeated my prepared response.
Of course, I will absolutely not reveal a single word about the space.
I try my best to portray myself as a passionate young woman full of a sense of justice who wants to rid the people of evil.
After listening, Gong's father did not immediately express his opinion, but lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
Just when I thought he was going to believe me, he suddenly changed the subject: "Although your explanation sounds reasonable, for safety reasons, I still need to restrict your movements within the Gong family compound. You are not allowed to leave this courtyard without my permission."
what?
!
Restricting my freedom?
How can this work!
Gong Lin and I still need to study those documents together and find out who's behind it all!
Upon hearing this, Gong Lin also became anxious: "Dad, this is too much..."
"Shut up!" Father Gong interrupted him sharply. "This matter is settled!" After he finished speaking, he picked up the documents on the table and began to read them, looking as if he didn't want to discuss it anymore.
I cursed him inwardly as an "old stubborn man," but kept a straight face.
Okay, if the hard approach doesn't work, then let's try the soft approach!
I'll deal with whatever comes my way. You think I can't handle you?
Just as I was about to speak, Father Gong suddenly raised his head and stared at me sharply: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
I smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, I understand your concerns. However, I have a small suggestion..." I smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, I understand your concerns. However, I have a small suggestion. How about letting me train at the Gong family's martial arts training ground? This way, it won't interfere with my research of those documents, and it will allow you to keep track of my movements at any time. What do you think?" I blinked and looked at him sincerely.
Isn't this old fox worried that I'll run off?
Then I'll deliberately confine myself to a range he can control, and see what else he has to say!
Father Gong clearly hadn't expected me to make such a suggestion. He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "A training ground? You know martial arts?"
I smiled modestly, "I only know a little bit, just for fitness." But secretly I was smug. Hmph, I was a black belt in Taekwondo in my past life!
Dealing with a few small fry is a piece of cake!
Father Gong glanced at me again, seemingly assessing the truthfulness of my words.
Finally, he nodded: "Alright, that's settled then. But you absolutely cannot step out of the training ground without my permission!"
"Yes, sir!" I gave a playful salute, my heart pounding with joy. Problem solved!
Gong Lin also breathed a sigh of relief and gave me an appreciative look.
I returned his smile with an "I'm in control" expression.
We arrived at the training ground, and Gong Lin eagerly opened the file folder.
However, when we saw the contents of the document, our smiles instantly froze on our faces.
"What the hell is this?!" Gong Lin stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
I went over to take a look, and I was dumbfounded too.
The text on the document was crooked and distorted, like earthworms crawling across it, and completely incomprehensible!
"This...this is encrypted?" I muttered to myself.
Gong Lin's face was ashen: "It seems the trouble we're facing is bigger than we imagined..."
I took a deep breath and tried to keep myself calm.
Encryption it is, who's afraid of who!
I'm a top student who was reborn!
This little thing can't possibly stump me?
"Don't worry," I patted Gong Lin on the shoulder and said casually, "It's just encryption, right? There's always a way to crack it!"
I picked up one of the documents and carefully examined the symbols on it.
Wait, why does this symbol look so familiar?
“Gong Lin, come take a look,” I said, pointing to the symbols on the document. “Doesn’t this look like…”
