"Guo Chunfeng, director of the Data Monitoring Center of the Storm Research Institute in the Weather Bureau of the Federation?"
The old policeman studied the information on the registration book over and over again several times, and then glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze. He didn't understand how such a low-ranking official in the yamen could get in touch with the higher-ups and ask them to release him so quickly.
The middle-aged man was wearing a wrinkled, gray casual suit. His sleeves were worn thin, and he was emitting the unique smell of tobacco of people who often stayed up late. His hair was greasy, as if it had not been washed for days. His face was plain. His eyebrows were broom-like, and his eyes were red and swollen. He seemed to be sleep-deprived and fatigued, reminding the old policeman of an old cat who took a nap every day.
He seemed to be unaccustomed to a place like the police station. He rubbed the plastic bag in his hands nonstop. The name of a supermarket was printed on the plastic bag. Inside the bag was a glass cup and an omelet with two fried dough sticks.
"You work in the Weather Bureau of the Federation. You are a civil servant of the country, too. You have to be more sensitive about such things."
The old policeman frowned and said, "What your daughter did is not a big deal. Let's take the situation of the country as an example. It's understandable that young people are marching on the street and demanding an expedition to the Blood Demon Sector. Some of the young people in the bureau are still marching on the street after work!"
"If it were a normal march, the police would have maintained the order for us. We would not have had a problem even if we served tea. We are all patriotic young people! But a march is a march. A rally is a rally. Why did you throw a rotten egg at a professor? Not only did you throw an egg, you even gave the professor a black eye. That was inappropriate, wasn't it? "
"Yes, yes, yes."
Guo Chunfeng apologized pitifully. "You're right. We will certainly apologize to Professor Xue. A proper apology!"
"Okay."
The old policeman nodded. "Thankfully, Professor Xue was not seriously wounded. He was magnanimous enough to not pursue the matter. Otherwise, the whole thing wouldn't have been settled so easily! Let me tell you. Old Guo, after you bring your daughter home, you will have to educate her as her parents. Nothing serious happened this time, but what about next time? A girl of more than twenty years old did not know how to control her strength. What if she really hurt someone? Should we detain her or not? "
"You're right. I will educate her well. I will educate her well! "
Guo Chunfeng lowered his head so low that it almost touched his pants.
"Alright, sign your name and receive the person!"
The old policeman waved his hand and walked to one side, revealing a cold girl who had a colorful buzz cut, a nose ring, and a Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars emblem tattooed below her left eye.
Guo Chunfeng was dumbfounded the moment he saw it. He extended his hand and wiped the tattoo on his daughter's body. "What — what happened to your face?"
"Don't move. I just did it. It still hurts!"
Guo Xiaohe slapped her father's hand away. He walked out angrily.
Guo Chunfeng hurried to apologize to the old officer. After finishing the formalities in a hurry, he went to the parking spot of the shuttle. His daughter was desperately pulling at the door of her grocery cart. The door handle was almost pulled off by her.
Looking at his daughter's rebellious look, Guo Chun was furious. He breathed heavily for a long time but did not know what to say. Thinking that his daughter had been locked up in the police station for a night, he stuffed the egg pancake with seasoning into his daughter's arms. Then, he lifted the lid of his teacup and handed it to her.
"Eat!"
Guo Xiaohe pushed away the teacup that was stained with tea stains in disgust, but she picked up the egg pancake. She took a bite of the egg pancake like a she-wolf.
Guo Chunfeng activated the shuttle. The grocery cart had been used for years. The power rune arrays were more or less worn out. After a few noises, it finally soared into the sky and staggered back home.
Seeing that his daughter's face had regained some color after eating more than half of the egg pancake, Guo Chunfeng was more or less reassured. He frowned and said, "It's one thing for you to skip classes and march with other people, but why did you beat up a professor of East Sea University?"
"That bullsh * t professor deserved a beating!"
Sitting cross-legged on the seat, Guo Xiaohe tore off another half of the fried dough stick and chewed it as if to vent her frustration. She mumbled, "What's the situation now? The Blood Demon Sector has marched into our capital city! This is the greatest humiliation in the past five hundred years!
"We are going to seek revenge! We are going to make the wretched demons pay with their blood! We are going to march into the Blood Demon Sector and raze the nests of the pests to the ground!
"As it turned out, the spineless Professor Xue has been preaching bullsh * t in the media all day long. Even Speaker Jiang has been bewildered by them!
"Those spineless idiots are practically traitors of the Federation. Now that we have run into them, how can we miss them? I'm already being merciful that I didn't beat his face up! "
"What are you talking about? You are too young to be called a great aunt!"
Guo Chunfeng glared. "A hasty attack or a slow one is a national issue. Even a civil servant such as myself does not know the details and dare not express my opinion. What do high school students like you know? Stop messing around. I'll ask for a day off for you today. Go home and have a good rest. Go back to school tomorrow! "
"Tsk. You are just a researcher in the weather bureau. Of course, you don't know the details. According to the forum, this is the best opportunity for us to conquer the Blood Demon Sector. If we miss the opportunity, we will have to wait another twenty years before we can conquer the Blood Demon Sector!"
Guo Xiaohe craned her neck and said, "I'm not going to school anymore. I'm going to join the army and participate in the glorious expedition!"
"What the hell?"
Guo Chunfeng was dumbfounded. "Say — say that again!"
"I can say it ten times!"
Seeing that her father was dumbfounded, Guo Xiaohe was quite satisfied. She raised her head and said, "The day before yesterday, Si Mao, Da Ming, and I have already signed up online and passed the preliminary screening. We will go to the recruitment center for the interview in a few days!"
"How dare you!"
Guo Chunfeng burst into fury. "You are only eighteen years old. You haven't even graduated from high school. Why are you a soldier? Let's see who dares to make you a soldier!"
"Eighteen years old. I'm already an adult!"
Guo Xiaohe held her head high and declared, "Besides, don't forget that my spiritual root has been awakened, and I've become a culture-type Cultivator! In the past summer vacation, I've been practicing the 'Nine Rings Song' hard. I've reached the second level of the song. Now, I only need to sing the song of the Union Army. The morale of the soldiers of the Union Army within a hundred square meters will be greatly boosted, and their shooting accuracy will be improved by more than 5%! "
"I have such a technique. Why shouldn't I join the Union Army? "
"You — you don't know what's going on in the Blood Demon Sector at all. You are only in the first level of the Refinement Stage. What can you do?"
Guo Chunfeng was furious. "I won't allow you to join the army unless you piss me off first!"
"I don't need your permission. I'm an adult now. It's my right to join the army!"
Guo Xiaohe was also infuriated. "I don't want to be like you, who became a Cultivator at such a young age and could go out to do whatever you want, only to spend the rest of your life studying the damn storms in a tiny weather station!
"Hehe. The way I see it, you are no better than that spineless Professor Xue. Both of you are cowards!"
Guo Chunfeng was so infuriated that his lungs were almost exploding. He stammered, "You — you — you are getting more and more unruly. What did your mother teach you? Where is your mother? "
Guo Xiaohe glanced at him pitifully and sneered, "I don't know. She's probably in a law office."
Guo Chunfeng was dazed. "Why is she in a law office?"
"To consult a lawyer about the divorce," Guo Xiaohe said.
Guo Chunfeng almost drove the shuttle into a ditch. "What!"
He called his wife's messenger in a hurry. Seeing his wife's emotionless face, he did not know what to say. Dazed for a long time, he said drily, "You. Why do you want a divorce all of a sudden? "
Yao Li looked at her husband peacefully. "I don't want a divorce all of a sudden," she said casually. "A year ago, I told you that something was wrong with our marriage. But you said that you were busy tracking a superstorm and that we would talk about it after you were done with it.
"Half a year ago, I told you that I really couldn't take it anymore. I really couldn't live like this anymore. You said okay, okay, okay. I'll give you three more months to figure out the two tropical air masses. Then, we can have a good chat."
"Three months ago, I discussed the divorce with you. You said no, no, no, no, and that we would talk about it after you came home at night. As it turned out, from that night on, you never came home for three months, a hundred days!
"Today, if something hadn't happened to your daughter, would you have crawled out of that godforsaken place? Would you? Would you?
"Honey, I was wrong."
At a loss, Guo Chunfeng said, "I — I'm sorry. But you know the nature of my job. I — I don't have a choice. I don't have a choice …"
Yao Li took a deep breath. Her eyes gradually turned red. She shook her head and said, "No. You are not sorry. I am sorry.
"When I married you, I knew what you did for a living. It was a pity that I was too young to know … what it meant to be a hero's wife. I thought that I could do it.
"But now, I know that I was wrong. Terribly wrong. I'm really not qualified, capable, or able to be your wife anymore! I really can't bear to live like a widow year after year, and I have to live in fear all day long. I'm really going crazy! If I don't divorce you, I'll have no choice but to kill myself! "
"Honey, don't!"
Guo Chunfeng grew anxious.
"Mom!"
Guo Xiaohe did not understand what 'hero's wife' meant, but she could tell that her mother was not in a stable mental state. She glared at her father.
"Honey, which law firm are you in? I'll come to you immediately! I'm not going to do anything today except to accompany you and your daughter! "
Guo Chunfeng's throat was almost on fire.
Yao Li, however, shook her head with a bitter smile and cut off the communication.
Guo Chunfeng bashed the steering wheel hard and looked at his daughter pitifully.
Guo Xiaohe gritted her teeth hard and glared out of the window angrily.
"Xiaohe, I was wrong. I was really too busy earlier. The wormhole that appeared in the sky of the capital city caused the climate in the small area to be unstable. I had to monitor the area every day to see if there were any new storms. That was why I didn't come home for three months!
"I promise that I will take a week off to spend time with you and your daughter after everything is over. What do you think?
"Just say it now. If you don't, your mother might do something stupid when she's alone!
"Let's talk about joining the army later. If it doesn't work out … I'll find a way to arrange a better troop for you. What do you think?"
Guo Xiaohe's heart softened. She mumbled, "You are from the weather bureau, and you have connections in the army? Why don't you prepare a draft before you brag? Alright. Mom is in the Tianhong Law Firm!
"Shua!"
The cart immediately took a turn at the level of a super racing car. Guo Chunfeng quickly typed in a new destination and changed his expression immediately. He begged his daughter for mercy shamelessly. "Help me. Put in a good word for me later. My happiness for the rest of my life depends on —"
Before he finished his sentence, a bunch of crimson words popped up on the car-mounted crystal processor of the cart, emitting dangerous brilliance.
"Attention, everyone. The super large airmass' Vulture 'has passed the Giant Blade Mountain and upgraded into a superstorm. It is very likely that it will move toward the capital city. All personnel outside are to cancel their leave and stay on duty."
Guo Chunfeng's pupils constricted violently.
