14 Good Parenting! Why Did He Manufacture Illegal Arms?!

Captain Zhao joined Xia Zixin's side.

"Xia Zixin," he asked doubtfully.

"I don't see any palm print recognition mark on the door of this room, nor is there a keyhole. How do you plan to open it?

"Just like earlier, are you going to place your hand on it for palm print recognition?"

Xia Zixin smirked slyly.

"Mr. Zhao...

"Did I just fool you?

"My father actually taught me to put my hand on the door.

"He said this would make others believe it's a palm print recognition door.

"This way, we can deter bad people like burglars!"

Captain Zhao was left speechless.

He had always thought Xia Zixin was being kind to him.

However as Xia Zixin flashed another innocent smile at him, he felt there was more to it.

He and Saa exchanged a quick glance.

They both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.

They were getting no closer to solving the mystery.

Leaving aside everything else, the wall and door were already beyond their comprehension.

Hence, further explanations were needed from Xia Zixin.

Xia Zixin sensed the confusion among everyone.

She smiled and walked over to the inner room's door. "Guys, let me reveal the secret of this door!"

As she spoke, she gently knocked on the door.

"Ah Fu! I'm back!"

The next moment, the door at the top suddenly opened and revealed a display screen.

Simultaneously, a blue light scanned Xia Zixin, who stood there.

[Welcome back, Miss Xia Zixin! I'd like to remind you once again that I am Alfred, not Ah Fu!]

With an electronic voice, the door gradually closed.

"I just like calling you Ah Fu!"

Xia Zixin playfully stuck her tongue out and walked inside. "Let's go!"

"Everyone, please take a seat and rest for a while!"

Everyone was left astonished.

Captain Zhao and Saa exchanged a puzzled look. They were unable to believe their eyes.

Even the live broadcast audience was taken aback.

"Oh my, is that an AI?!"

"This is so cool. The house is actually being managed by an AI named Alfred. Does Xia Zixin's father think he's Batman?"

"To be honest, it could just be a well-programmed LLM. As long as it's set up well, it should be fine. But doesn't this room seem a bit too ordinary?!"

"I'm with you on that!"

Indeed.

The interior of the room was even more baffling.

After encountering the walls made of special alloy and the AI butler, the group felt the need to be cautious.

They all assumed to walk into a sci-fi theme park.

However, upon entering, they found themselves in a rather conventional space.

The furnishings were quite ordinary and lacked any sense of advanced technology.

Leather sofas and wooden cabinets filled the room.

A projected TV stood against the wall, beneath a slightly exaggerated crystal chandelier.

Although the decor was lavish, it was still within the boundaries of conventional wisdom.

At this point, Xia Zixin had returned with snacks and beverages.

When she saw everyone still standing, she quickly spoke up, "Please, have a seat!"

"Feel free to sit wherever you like!"

Upon hearing this, Captain Zhao snapped back to attention.

He smiled and went to help Xia Zixin with the refreshments.

"Xia Zixin, there's no need for special treatment."

Xia Zixin smiled and replied, "That won't do, Mr. Zhao. My dad told me that when there are guests in the house, we must entertain them well!

"Since you're here, that makes us good friends.

"The key to good friends getting along is sincerity."

Xia Zixin playfully pulled Captain Zhao to sit on the sofa.

Everyone else felt more at ease, and they too took their seats on the sofa.

Saa breathed a sigh of relief.

For someone so young, this girl was remarkably mature.

Xia Zixin's father had undoubtedly given her a solid education.

How could someone who had raised such a considerate daughter be involved in illegal firearms?

If he were to be arrested, one could only imagine how Xia Zixin would react!

The viewers seemed to share Saa's thoughts.

"She's such a well-mannered child!"

"I'm really curious. Why would a child with such excellent upbringing get involved in firearms?"

"When my son was in his twenties, I was already thankful that he did not end up tearing down the house. Now he wants to argue with me every day and even curses at me…"

"If Xia Zixin's father was not manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, I'd seek parenting advice from him!"

"Just the thought of Xia Zixin watching her father being arrested by the police makes my heart ache."

Captain Zhao sighed as he settled on the sofa.

However, as a police officer, he couldn't let his emotions affect his investigation.

He had to suppress his feelings and began analyzing the room's layout.

The house had a total of eight rooms. There were two solid wood cabinets in the living room.

He didn't believe that the firearms would be so conveniently placed.

However, with Xia Zixin present, rummaging around would be problematic.

But at that moment, Xia Zixin stated, "Oh, I should let Dad know I'm done with school!"

Captain Zhao and Saa's pupils contracted.

They both knew that a team of police officers was searching for Xia Zixin's father.

Moreover, he might be heavily armed.

If he realized they were here, a catastrophic accident could occur.

They decided to leave the room.

Captain Zhao whispered to the homeroom teacher,

"Teacher, stay here and keep Xia Zixin's father distracted!"

The homeroom teacher was slightly nervous, but she quickly nodded in agreement.

As soon as Captain Zhao and Saa exited the room, Xia Zixin initiated a video call with her father.

A very handsome and sophisticated man appeared on the small screen of her wristwatch phone.

It was Xia Qi!

"Zixin?

"It's still school hours, isn't it?

"Why are you home?"

Captain Zhao promptly whispered into his earpiece,

"Xiao Zhou, Xia Qi is currently on a video call."

Captain Zhao leaned against the door and attentively listened to the conversation between Xia Zixin and her father.

The comments began to roll rapidly.

"Is the main character finally going to make an appearance?"

"Go, Captain Zhao!"

"Saa, quickly plant a bug and let us hear the voice of this mysterious man!"

"Guys, I'm getting nervous!"
