Chapter 16 The White Light on Parents: Can Abilities Really Be Inherited?
Chapter 16 The White Light on Parents: Can Abilities Really Be Inherited?
Wang Hong's words and his gaze made Li Boheng somewhat flustered.
Knowing that his nephew was in trouble, he stood guard at the door without offering any help, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.
Before Li Boheng could speak, Wang Hong had already gotten the answer from his micro-expressions and shifty eyes.
For him, who had upgraded to a master of blue hypnosis, seeing through Li Boheng's psychological activities was just a basic operation.
But after seeing through it all, Wang Hong couldn't help but feel a little sad.
He's still his own uncle, how could he just stand by and watch him suffer...?
Li Boheng is indeed not very bright, but he also has one advantage.
"I'm sorry." Knowing that Wang Hong had seen through his intentions, he promptly apologized.
"I just think that after this, your future will be smoother. I'm not afraid to tell you, that's how I got here." Li Boheng put away his playful smile and said seriously.
"Look at me, I'm doing very well now. If I hadn't gritted my teeth back then, I definitely wouldn't be where I am today."
Wang Hong remained silent upon hearing this. He could understand Li Boheng's thoughts, but he could not respect his choice.
In his view, even if Li Boheng relied on his eloquence, he wouldn't have a bad life.
Sensing Wang Hong's dissatisfaction, Li Boheng remained silent, as he didn't fully understand Wang Hong's personality.
Speaking at this point could easily escalate the conflict between the two sides.
The two fell silent, which made the driver beside them anxious.
Why are you only saying half of what you mean? The melon has already been cut open, and you're telling me I can't eat any more after only two bites?
But the driver could clearly sense that the atmosphere between the two was somewhat silent, and he didn't dare to ask them what was going on.
So, in this unusual atmosphere, the group drove towards Wang Hong's house.
The KTV wasn't far from Wang Hong's home, and they soon returned to the entrance of the residential area.
Just as agreed, Li Boheng followed Wang Hong into the residential area.
This surprised Wang Hong, who thought Li Boheng would be embarrassed to go home with him.
It was past 11 p.m., and the neighborhood was very quiet, with only the occasional wicked barking of a fleece dog coming from upstairs.
The two walked silently through the residential area, and for a moment the only sound they could hear was the creaking of Ye Yao's cheap prosthetic leg.
Li Boheng finally came up with a topic.
"Your prosthetic leg doesn't feel very good. How about your uncle pays for a new one?"
"I plan to buy one for around 500,000 yuan," Wang Hong said, ending the conversation with a single sentence.
Li Boheng is indeed in relatively good financial shape, but he is also heavily reliant on loans.
With mortgages on two houses and a car loan on a Mercedes-Benz, it would be quite difficult for him to easily come up with 500,000 yuan in cash.
He had no knowledge of prosthetics and thought that a few thousand or thirty to fifty thousand yuan would be about right.
He felt that using this amount of money as an apology to Wang Hong was perfectly acceptable.
When Wang Hongyi said it was 500,000, he was really shocked.
Even a prosthetic limb is this expensive; times have really changed.
That's enough money for him to have many girlfriends.
"Ahem!" Li Boheng coughed lightly. "I didn't expect it to be this expensive!"
He then added, "I could help out by contributing some money..."
"No need, I'll find another one myself," Wang Hong replied directly.
He doesn't even rely on his own parents, so why would he want Li Boheng's money?
The two arrived at Wang Hong's house in no time.
Wang Hong had already told his parents that Li Boheng was coming, and they were currently at home brewing tea and waiting for him.
"Come in and have a seat." As soon as the door opened, Wang Hong's parents greeted him warmly, since Li Boheng had just helped Wang Hong find a job.
But Wang Hong froze the moment he saw his parents.
Because in his eyes, his parents, who looked extremely ordinary on ordinary days, were actually shining with white light.
Moreover, the light emanating from them was far more dazzling than that from Li Boheng.
My parents actually have abilities?
Wang Hong was genuinely shocked!
Could this be the reason he suddenly awakened his abilities? Are abilities really hereditary?
Wang Hong didn't know whether his parents and uncle knew about each other's abilities.
The group was worried when they saw Wang Hong stand still after entering the room.
Li Boheng felt a little nervous, worried that Wang Hong might be considering revealing what happened tonight.
So he quickly patted Wang Hong lightly: "Are you drunk? That Mr. Wu really went a bit too far tonight."
"You went out drinking?" Wang Hong's mother asked, somewhat surprised.
In her memory, Wang Hong did not drink alcohol.
"Yes, my uncle took me to entertain a big client, so I had a drink or two and I'm a little drunk," Wang Hong said with a smile.
His words were tantamount to pushing Li Boheng to the edge of a knife.
If Wang Hong were to reveal what happened at the drinking party, Li Boheng's image with his parents would be completely ruined.
So when Li Boheng heard this, he became a little nervous.
He was indeed worried that Wang Hong might reveal the truth under the influence of anger.
Wang Hong glanced at him and said, "I just went to a KTV, had a few drinks, sat for a while, and then left."
His words immediately relieved Li Boheng. His trembling hand patted Wang Hong's shoulder, and he laughed heartily:
"That's right, tonight's client is a major partner of our group. If we get on good terms with him, everything will be fine in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hong's parents were immediately relieved.
Having a few drinks for work or entertaining clients is really not a big deal; after all, everyone goes through that.
Li Boheng sat down and had tea with his sister and brother-in-law.
Wang Hong used the excuse that he was drunk to go take a shower.
He wasn't interested in the three people's conversation.
They were simply talking about Wang Hong's work situation that day.
But after Wang Hong went to the bathroom, the conversation between the three of them was completely different from what Wang Hong had expected.
"Sister, your son is amazing! He's so clever; he even fooled me a few times. He's got that same flair as your husband back in the day, haha!"
After saying that, she lowered her voice and added, "Besides, I think he might also be capable."
"He's capable too?" Wang Hong's parents' expressions changed, as if they had heard something terrible.
"It's just my guess. After all, you guys have such great talent, it's quite reasonable for him to inherit it." Li Boheng's eyes were completely different at this moment.
He has lost all his previous wisdom and instead appears full of cunning and intelligence.
Wang Hong's parents' expressions turned worried: "If he really has the ability, then we'll be in trouble."
"We've come all this way to hide because of this piece of junk. What if he gets targeted again?" Wang Hong's mother looked like she had aged several years in an instant.
What Wang Hong considered a very useful ability seemed to them to be a monstrous threat, something to be feared and dreaded.
Li Boheng, on the other hand, was much calmer: "Don't worry, as long as you don't use your abilities, they'll never be able to find you!"
Hearing his words, Wang Hong's parents' faces turned even uglier.
