"Xiaoxi, do you know what it means to be dead?"
Lin Xiaoxi nodded. "I know. Being dead means going to a very far away place, and you can never see them again."
"Daddy, can airplanes go to a very far away place?"
Lin Chen shook his head. "Airplanes can't reach there either. The place you go when you're dead is incredibly far away, and you can never see them again."
Lin Xiaoxi hugged Lin Chen tightly.
"Daddy, you can't die."
Xu Mengyao came in at that moment.
She quickly said, "Xiaoxi, don't say such things. What's this talk about death? It's unlucky to talk about death, you know?"
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao: "Xiaoxi is still young; she doesn't understand what's going on. Honey, do you have any plans for today?"
Xu Mengyao shook her head.
"No, why?"
Lin Chen chuckled, "Deputy Director Zhao sent me a text message. Zhao Tianyou is in the hospital, and I have to go see him."
"Which hospital?"
"I'll drive; you drank so much. You probably haven't digested it all, so you can't drive today," Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Chen gave her the address.
After breakfast, Lin Chen and the others set off for home. Xu Mengyao dropped Lin Chen off at the hospital.
"Honey, Xiaoxi and I won't go in. We'll wait for you in the car," Xu Mengyao said.
Lin Chen nodded. He quickly entered the hospital and went to the inpatient department.
"806, this is it," Lin Chen thought.
Zhao Tianyou had a private room. Lin Chen pushed open the door and saw him. Zhao Tianyou saw Lin Chen as well.
Zhao Tianyou's body was whipped front and back. He was covered in medicine and stood in the room wearing shorts.
He preferred to stand; it hurt too much to lie down.
Lin Chen was stunned. Zhao Huaiyuan is really going all out? Zhao Tianyou was whipped pretty badly.
Many places on Zhao Tianyou's body were swollen. In some places that had been whipped multiple times, the skin was split open.
"Lin Chen!"
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Tianyou glared at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen laughed, "Your dad told me, Zhao Tianyou, you're in a bit of a state. Won't all those wounds get infected? Let me get some alcohol to disinfect them for you."
Zhao Tianyou: "..."
"Thanks a lot!"
Zhao Tianyou gritted his teeth.
"Crack!" "Crack!"
Lin Chen took a few photos of Zhao Tianyou with his phone.
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Tianyou said sharply.
Lin Chen: "Taking photos to post on Moments and Douyin. I'll throw some money into promotion, it should go viral."
"I've already thought of the captions."
"What hidden story lies behind a man being beaten up?"
Zhao Tianyou: "..."
If Lin Chen did this, he would completely lose face.
He said with a dark expression, "Lin Chen, don't mess around. If you mess around, be careful, I won't be polite to you later."
Lin Chen said with a smile, "You still want to be impolite? Haven't you been beaten enough by your dad this time?"
"It's you!"
Zhao Tianyou glared at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen said with a chuckle, "You lack education, so I let your dad teach you, but you seem not to be thoroughly educated in this way. I'll talk to him again."
Zhao Tianyou's body trembled.
Another beating? He wanted to die after yesterday's beating.
"Brother Lin, please don't say anymore."
"I give up, I admit my mistake, can't I?"
"Yesterday, my dad beat me with a belt soaked in salt."
Zhao Tianyou's eyes revealed a look of fear.
Lin Chen looked at him with surprise: "What did you do? Even if your dad was disciplining you, it shouldn't have gone that far, right?"
"Didn't you fight back?" Zhao Tianyou remained silent.
Seeing his expression, Lin Chen knew he was probably right.
"With this kind of hidden story, the script needs to be changed."
"I'll think about it carefully later..."
Lin Chen said, looking thoughtful.
Zhao Tianyou: "Brother Lin, I was really wrong. I promise I'll never make the same mistake again. Give me a chance, don't send the photos out."
"I beg you."
Lin Chen put away his phone and said calmly, "Zhao Tianyou, if you mess around again in the future, it won't just be a beating from your dad. The consequences will be more severe." "I won't send the photos for now. I'll see how you behave in the future."
After saying that, Lin Chen turned and left.
He came to see how Zhao Tianyou was doing. Zhao Tianyou had hurt Lin Xiaoxi with his words, and he needed to be punished.
He was quite satisfied with the outcome.
Imagine getting whipped with salt, the sensation must be incredibly painful.
"Husband, how did it go?"
"Is Zhao Huaiyuan just going through the motions?"
Lin Chen asked Xu Mengyao when they were back in the car.
Lin Chen handed his phone to Xu Mengyao.
Xu Mengyao stared at the photos, taken aback: "He really went all out."
Lin Chen: "It was even worse than what you saw. Zhao Tianyou probably beat Zhao Huaiyuan, and then Zhao Huaiyuan whipped him with a belt dipped in salt."
"Did you feel better?"
Xu Mengyao nodded, "Zhao Tianyou deserved it. He actually hit Zhao Huaiyuan. With Zhao Huaiyuan's temper, Zhao Tianyou probably won't be taking over the family business."
"He'll probably just get a bit of an allowance from now on."
Lin Chen smiled faintly. "That would be best. If Zhao Huaiyuan ruins his Main Account, he can just start over with a Secondary Account."
Lin Xiaoxi said, "Daddy, I know what a Main Account is, it's a musical instrument."
Lin Chen chuckled, "You're right, Xiaoxi, it is a musical instrument. Have you and Mommy decided where to go?"
"Daddy, we're going to the zoo."
"I want to see the big lions and tigers, hee hee." Lin Xiaoxi said sweetly.
As long as she could be with her Daddy and Mommy, she was very happy.
"Alright, we'll go to the zoo, let's go!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
An hour later, Lin Chen and the others arrived at the zoo.
There were many animals at the zoo that they could feed. The food cost money, but it was no big deal for Lin Chen.
As long as Lin Xiaoxi was happy, that's all that mattered.
As Lin Xiaoxi fed the animals, Lin Chen taught her some knowledge.
His Taming skill was increasing.
Xu Mengyao stared at Lin Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
Lin Chen actually knew about animals. She felt like he was a treasure trove, hiding many valuable things.
"Beep beep!"
Lin Chen's phone rang at noon.
It was Master Zhang Qingyuan calling.
"Old Zhang, what's up?"
Lin Chen answered the phone, smiling as he asked.
Zhang Qingyuan said on the other end of the line, "Master Lin, when will your Private Kitchen open? There's someone I think might come if I mention it to him."
Lin Chen replied, "Old Zhang, maybe next week. If there aren't any suitable customers, then the week after next is fine too."
"I'm not trying to make money off of this."
Zhang Qingyuan said, "Master Lin, the person I'm talking about is a gourmet. He's very rich but also very picky."
"He knows a lot of top gourmet."
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow. That was indeed the target customer.
Top-tier gourmets were very picky and persistent when it came to food, and they were often very wealthy. "Old Zhang, you can talk to him."
"Please tell him my rules. If he agrees, then give him my phone number. If he doesn't agree, don't say anything more to him."
Lin Chen said.
"Okay, Master Lin."
Zhang Qingyuan hung up the phone.
Xu Mengyao looked at Lin Chen: "Husband, the Private Kitchen is about to open?"
Lin Chen smiled: "Not yet… It will open after our engagement."
Lin Xiaoxi: "Daddy, what is engagement? Can we sleep together at night after engagement?"
