Chapter 1936 Me, My Dad, and My Grandpa

Jin Beibei felt her heart aching as she watched the two children gulp the milk. She could not help but take out the sweets that she had hidden in secret before. Looking at them eating the food ravenously as if they had not had anything for a long time, Jin Beibei felt both sorry and ridiculous.

While the two children were eating, Jin Beibei took the opportunity to ask them about their hometown, their parents, and how they got to the Leo Dock.

There was no telling whether the two children were highly vigilant or downright silly, but they could not say who their parents were or where they came from at all.

As for exactly how they got to the Leo Dock, they did not hide anything. Exactly as Jin Beibei had speculated, they snuck into a starship in Fish Dragon City and were brought to this place later, although it was hard to imagine how two children who were still wet behind the ears hid themselves from all the crew members on the starship and how they appeared inside the dock without being caught by any of the surveillance cameras.

However, that was the only plausible explanation so far.

“So, you do not have any family on the starships that are currently docked here?” Jin Beibei found it tricky. “This is not good. What are you going to do now?”

The two children’s answer, however, amused her.

Xiaoming and Wenwen said that it was not entirely an accident that they had gone to the Leo Dock but a planned trip. They had been preparing to go to the Dragon Snake Space Zone to find a place where they could modify and upgrade starships so that they could get a starship capable of remote space jumps and go to meet their father.

“You don’t know what you are doing at all!”

Seeing that the two children were talking about ‘remote space jump’ and other cr*p carefully, utterly unbefitting for their age, Jin Beibei could not help but feel worried about their future.

“Let me tell you. No good guys ever come to the Leo Dock to maintain or modify their starships. They will not care about two cash-strapped children like you at all, and they won’t help you find your father! No. If they are willing to take you with them, it will be even more dangerous because they will likely… do very terrible things to you!”

She thought that it should be enough to scare the two children, but she was greatly surprised by their reply.

“We do not intend to board on anyone’s starship,” Li Xiaoming said solemnly. “I have seen the starships modified in Sister Beibei’s dock. They are too lousy and will fall apart after only a few remote space jumps.”

“Thankfully, there are all kinds of materials and parts here.” Li Wenwen began to speak nonsense, too. “The starships that have come here for maintenance have brought abundant fuel and resources. It should be enough for us to upgrade a starship on our own.”

“You… want to modify and upgrade a starship on your own?”

Jin Beibei was utterly dumbfounded, unable to imagine what kind of greenhouse the two children had been raised in that made them so ‘innocent’ and ‘ignorant’.

Leaving the technological and cost problems aside, the starships docked in the Leo Dock mostly carried desperadoes who were in a hurry to run away. However rich the buyers might be, they would not sell their fuel and resources!

If the two children were really carrying precious items with them, they would certainly be killed and thrown into the high-energy reactors. What could their father do about it even if he were a god?

“You—you must not do anything stupid!” Jin Beibei said, somewhat at a loss. “Let me think if there’s anything I can do for you. I don’t know what to do yet, but your way is definitely not going to work out. It’s not so simple. The starships docked here won’t sell the precious fuel and resources to you at all. Even if they do, the owner of the dock…”

“Sell?” The two children looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. With the most naïve and innocent smiles, they said, “We did not say that we intended to buy what we need. We don’t have any money.”

“Well…” Jin Beibei was completely defeated by the two children. She paced back and forth in the small warehouse for a long time. Then she began to shift her attention to the little children’s parents. “Do your parents not have any contact details? Perhaps I can help you reach out to them. If they have some forces under their control, it would be easier.”

“We do have mom’s contact, but it is very dangerous to talk to her because we will be discovered. We are too weak right now and do not want anybody to discover us,” Xiaoming said naively. “Dad went to a place far, far away and is beyond reach right now. We want to find him.”

“Where did your dad go?” Jin Beibei asked. “Why did he go there?”

Xiaoming ignored the first question and simply answered the second one. “Our dad went to look for his dad.”

“Your dad’s dad… So, you mean your grandpa. Does your grandpa not live with you? Why did your dad go to look for your grandpa?” Jin Beibei scratched her head, wondering if some complicated family issues were involved. It seemed quite a headache!

“Dad’s dad. Well, I think it should be our ‘grandpa’, shouldn’t it?”

The two strange kids tilted their head and thought for a long time before they decided the obvious question. Licking the cake residue on her lips, Wenwen said while she swung her legs that looked like lotus roots, “We have no idea why dad went to look for grandpa, either. But they seem to be in a rather bad relationship. We merely want to go there and observe how exactly dad treats grandpa.”

“Right, Sister Beibei.” With cream all over his lips, Xiaoming suddenly said, “We do not know how to treat dad, so we want to see how dad treats grandpa and then adopt the same pattern. It is like ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’. Do you think it makes sense?”

Jin Beibei could not help but feel amused. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That is not how you should use the phrase. However, it is basically correct, isn’t it? If your dad treats your grandpa well, you should be nice to your dad; if your dad does not treat your grandpa well, you should find a way to teach him a lesson so that he will be nicer to your grandpa.”

Jin Beibei had a very responsible father. The two of them had lived with each other throughout many difficulties.

Hearing what the children said, she had already pictured an irresponsible and bad-tempered father and a mother who was occupied in work and neglected her children for the sake of her career or power.

She could not help but despise the father and the mother whose names she did not know yet.

“If dad treats grandpa well, we will be nice to dad; if dad treats grandpa badly, we will treat dad in exactly the same way—this is so reasonable!” Xiaoming seemed to be greatly enlightened. Thinking for a moment, he asked, “Then, what if dad kills grandpa? Can we kill dad, too?”

“What?” Jin Beibei was stunned again, finding it hard to believe her eyes. She could not understand the calmest determination of killing in the childish tone, either.

“Wait. I don’t think dad will necessarily kill grandpa. It is possible that grandpa will kill dad instead,” Wenwen said casually, still enjoying the cake. “I feel that grandpa is tougher. The odds are higher that grandpa will kill dad.”

What kind of messy family was that?

Jin Beibei was completely overwhelmed.

In such a dark, lawless place as the Dragon Snake Space Zone, she had seen too many inhuman, monstrous things.

Even if she did not see them with her own eyes, they were on the news every day!

However, even the most insane villains would not speak of parricide in such a casual way, would they?

Seeing the two naïve, innocent children having creamy cake and sweet milk, with milk stain on their noses and their lips, which made them cuter than ever, while they talked about such unscrupulous things, Jin Beibei truly felt…

Observing the gleams in the kids’ eyes, Jin Beibei somehow had a feeling that they actually understood every word they said perfectly and that it was really possible that they would kill their own father!

“How—how can you do that?” Jin Beibei said at a loss. “How can you kill your own father?”

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If dad truly kills his dad, then it is only natural that he should be killed by his own children. He shouldn’t have any complaints, should he?” Xiaoming extended his tongue to lick the milk on the edges of the cup. “Besides, even if we don’t want to kill dad, it is possible that dad will want to kill us, isn’t it?”

“Yes. Not just dad, chances are that grandpa wants us dead, too,” Wenwen added. “I even vaguely have a feeling that grandpa wanted to kill dad to prevent our arrival because he was scared that dad would give birth to us.

“In that case, maybe both grandpa and dad want to kill us. So, we should consider killing them both. Although we are weak, we cannot simply sit here and wait to be killed by them. Am I right, Sister Beibei?”

The boy and the girl put on sweet smiles at the same time.

The smiles, however, were even more hideous than fiends in hell in Jin Beibei’s eyes.

Every vein inside Jin Beibei’s body almost froze into ice. She could not even begin to imagine what kind of monsters she had brought back. She stammered in fear, “What… kind of family are you?”

“Just a very common one,” Xiaoming said. “Aren’t all the big families in the universe the same?”

Jin Beibei would rather not spend any time with the two little evil creatures any longer.

She would rather face the rude, filthy workers in the maintenance workshops than face the two ‘innocent’ and ‘harmless’ children.

However, the moment she opened the gate of the welding materials, a deafening explosion took place outside.

Roars and screams rained upon her like a thunderstorm on a summer afternoon.

Somebody was attacking the Leo Dock!
