His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 996

Chapter 996 - Not Classy

Lu Zihao reined in his bloodthirst, focusing instead on the mission at hand—meting punishment to Rose Young and investigating the hidden traitors within the Jin branch families. Rose Young’s matter was more prominent because of its blatant exposure to the public while the one involving the traitors in the Jin branch families was being done in secret.

After instructing his hacker team, Lu Zihao left the computer room and drove out of the headquarters by himself. Inside the car, Bacon stared at him from the dashboard monitor.

"Uncle Zihao, Bacon is in trouble."

Lu Zihao ignored him.

"Uncle Zihao, you have to take responsibility for getting Bacon into trouble with my parents."

He frowned, continuing to ignore the little smart-ass. If he was careless for even a second, the little money-grubber would definitely try to extort an exorbitant salary raise or bonus from him.

"Uncle Zihao, you are the one who instructed Bacon to steal materials about Rose Young from my mother’s secret virtual security vault. I violated my parents’ trust for you so you should take responsibility. My mother might reprogram my system and my father will surely ground me. If that happens, Bacon will be out of commission for a while which will result in a drastic decrease of your hacker team’s level."

Lu Zihao gritted his teeth while doing his best to stop himself from losing his temper. "Don’t push all the blame on me, kid. You’re the one who told me that your mother created an emotionless bot based on Ketchup’s system to monitor Rose Young before locking the files in a virtual vault."

"Uncle Zihao is telling me not to push all the blame on you, yet that’s what you’re doing right now. Aren’t you pushing the blame on Bacon, too? Uncle Zihao’s behaviour is not very classy."

He gripped the steering wheel hard before forcing himself to relax by taking a few deep breaths. "Fine. What do you want me to do?"

The rascal’s tail began swishing from side to side. "Uncle Zihao should clearly explain to Bacon’s parents that it was you who instructed me to steal the files in the first place. Also, emphasize to my mother and father that Bacon didn’t look at the contents at all, that I brought them directly to Shadow Winds without taking a single peek."

Lu Zihao gave the kid a side-glance. "Did you really not look?"

"Bacon swears in the names of the legendary Fantom and the great Drakon that I did not look. Please don’t make false accusations, Uncle Zihao. I think I need a salary raise as compensation for the emotional distress caused by your false accusation."

"No salary raise for you."

Bacon’s tail drooped in disappointment.

"But since your contribution is indeed the greatest for getting those materials to nail down the woman who wants to steal your father away from your mother, then I’ll increase your holiday bonus. But that’s it. Don’t ask for more."

"Bacon thanks Uncle Zihao. My savings account still has plenty of room for additional bonuses and salary raises."

Lu Zihao snorted. "What the hell are you saving up for? Virtual cat food?"

"Don’t be so rude, Uncle Zihao. It’s not very classy." The black cat AI’s golden eyes glinted. "Bacon is saving money to buy a special present for my mother when she gives birth to my twin human siblings next year. Mother is suffering so much right now from her pregnancy symptoms. She deserves something special for all the trouble she’s suffering due to her pregnancy."

His response to the kid was a grunt. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
