"Chen, you're so boring."
"Is it fun to make things difficult for me?" Chen Zhao asked, displeased.
Laurent looked away. Chen Zhao wasn't a father, so he couldn't understand Laurent's feeling of his daughter being taken advantage of by a pig.
"Anyway, do you agree or not?"
Chen Zhao thought about it. F * ck, I'll go all out for Fali.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"First, I want you to fight a lion and prove that you're brave enough."
"Cougars?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Who wants to fight a cougar?" Laurent said. "I can beat a cougar, especially an African one."
"Howard, stop the car. I want to get off." Chen Zhao's face darkened.
"If you refuse, it means that you don't have enough courage to protect Fali," Laurent said seriously.
"But you're clearly asking me to kill myself. Only a crazy person would do that." Chen Zhao rolled his eyes. "Even if you want to mess with me, can't you find something more practical?"
"Then let me ask you. If Fali is surrounded by lions one day, will you fight them to protect her?"
"If it really comes to that, I will."
"That's it. Now prove to me how much you love her."
"I still think you're crazy," Chen Zhao said.
"You just don't love Fali. If that's the case, you should break up with her."
"Could it be that your standard for finding a son-in-law is to have him fight a lion?"
"Only because of you."
"How did I displease you?"
"Did you forget? The first time we met, you scared the shit out of me. That's the humiliation of my life. Do you think I should be satisfied with you?"
"You asked for it."
"You even threw me into the ocean."
"You asked for it."
"Is it hard for me to win once?"
"Do you want to win, or do you want me to go easy on you?"
"…" Laurent looked at Chen Zhao, gritting his teeth. "Anyway, I won't give you and Fali my blessing."
"Then I'll tell Fali what you said. I want her to see how childish her father is."
As expected, Laurent backed down. He quickly said, "This is a fight between men. There's no need to drag Fali into it."
"But you keep using Fali as an excuse to attack me."
"Alright, I'll be straightforward. Either you let me win once, or you make me understand that I'll never win. Otherwise, no matter when or where, I'll keep causing trouble for you."
Chen Zhao turned his head to look at Laurent. "Will you stop bothering me if I fight the lion?"
"Yes."
"You promise."
"I promise."
Chen Zhao thought for a moment. He seemed to be able to beat a lion.
As long as he was careful and did not get caught or bitten, his strength and speed were definitely above that of a lion.
"Okay, but this is the United States. There are no African lions."
Laurent finally revealed a carefree smile. "I know the director of the zoo."
Chen Zhao glanced at Laurent. Did this b * stard really want to scheme against him?
He probably already contacted the zoo and was just waiting for her to jump in.
When they arrived at the zoo, the director of the zoo came. He was an old black man in his sixties.
Although his hair was white, his mental state was quite good.
"Laurent, are you still alive?"
"Sharman, I won't die even if you die."
It seemed that Laurent and the director of the zoo were very close. They would argue whenever they saw each other. If they weren't old friends, they wouldn't talk like this.
Sharman looked at Chen Zhao and asked, "This young man?"
"Yes, that's him."
Chen Zhao felt that Sharman's gaze was strange.
Was it because he was going to fight the lion?
"Young man, are you sure you want to face the lion?"
"Can I back out now?"
"If you run away now, I'll look down on you for the rest of my life," Laurent said.
Chen Zhao felt that Laurent's trap wasn't that simple.
"Okay, Sharman, take us to the African theme park."
The zoo's facilities were quite good. There were many visitors too.
The group seemed to be here to play. They looked around and walked around.
Sha Man kept introducing the animal houses along the way. Some areas were open, and some were closed.
Some tame herbivores would even interact with the visitors under the guidance of the staff.
Not long after, everyone was brought to a very high-tech building. The building was mainly white, and the outer walls were made of thick tempered glass. Occasionally, some staff would walk around.
Sharman looked at Chen Zhao. "Are you sure you're ready?"
"Yes, I'm ready."
Then Sharman looked at Laurent. "What about you?"
"Of course," Laurent said nonchalantly. "I'm not the one going into the lion's cage." He glanced at Chen Zhao.
Sharman pressed the remote control in her hand. The glass door opened. There was a metal isolation door inside.
It was an environment that looked like an African grass carp. It was around 100 square meters. There were rocks, water, and grass.
There was a three-meter-tall glass dome above their heads. It was very transparent.
"You can go in now," Sharman said.
Chen Zhao walked through the glass door, and the door closed behind him.
However, he could still see Laurent and the others through the floor-to-ceiling glass.
Chen Zhao looked around but didn't see any lions.
"Where are the lions?" Chen Zhao asked Sharman on the other side of the glass wall.
At this moment, two metal isolation doors rose up on the opposite side of the field.
Chen Zhao saw more than 20 lions of various sizes behind the two doors. There was one adult male lion, while the rest were female lions or cubs.
Finally, Laurent revealed a smile, as if his scheme had succeeded.
"Open the door." Chen Zhao knocked on the glass.
What a joke. His plan was to fight a lion, not an entire lion family.
"It's not too late for you to surrender," Laurent said with a smirk.
He'd been waiting for this moment, for Chen Zhao to surrender.
"Laurent, don't be so childish. Open the door."
"Impossible, unless you surrender."
"If I die here, how are you going to explain it to Fali?"
"If you surrender, you don't have to die."
"Mr. Sharman, I believe you'll be rational. You won't do something so stupid, right?" Seeing that Laurent couldn't get through, Chen Zhao could only turn to Sharman, hoping that the old man could understand.
"I watched Fali grow up. I don't want her to spend the rest of her life with a scoundrel. So, you either break up with her or die here."
"Sh * t, Laurent, how did you describe me behind my back?" Chen Zhao was furious.
