Chapter 137: Is That You, Boss?

Upon returning to Shengjiawu, Grandma pinched a certain badger’s small ear and marveled at his new hairstyle for a moment before heading out with Dahei. Recently, busy preparing the autumn tea, Grandma had her hands full.

Seeing that grandma didn’t notice anything about their cover-up, Wang Ping and Gu Lang sighed in relief. Gu Lang was worried about getting beaten up, while Wang Ping simply dreaded being grabbed by the neck again and having his fur stroked by Grandma.

With the household bustling, Grandma didn’t have time to scrutinize. By the time things slowed down, Wang Ping’s fur would have grown back—perfect timing.

At dinnertime, as the sun was setting, a Mercedes-Benz S320L turned into Grandma’s yard.

Gu Lang and Wang Ping were sitting on the steps outside the entrance hall, playing with Dahei. In Dahei’s doghouse, there was always a frisbee—a gift from Gu Lang when he was in high school.

The dog handled the frisbee with utmost care, terrified of breaking it.

Gu Lang, mischievous as ever, would throw the frisbee far away and watch Dahei dash out like crazy, jumping to catch it before it hit the ground. If Dahei failed and the frisbee landed on the concrete yard, the dog would whimper in distress, much to Gu Lang’s amusement.

Wang Ping deeply disapproved of such antics, especially since Dahei would still wag its tail and bring the frisbee back after being tricked.

When the Mercedes entered the yard, it almost hit Dahei, who was retrieving the frisbee at the gate. Mother Gu scolded the dog through the car window. After parking, Mother Gu and Father Gu got out of the car, and Dahei eagerly approached them, tail wagging.

"Shoo, shoo! Don't rub against me, you're filthy!" Mother Gu pretended to kick the dog, scaring it off.

Dahei grumbled and then lunged at Father Gu, nearly knocking him over.

"Hey, Dahei, slow down..."

Grandma's dog knew better than to act this way around her. Father Gu couldn’t reprimand the dog openly like Mother Gu, so he rolled his eyes and cursed under his breath.

Wang Ping watched with interest. If memory served him right, Dahei wasn’t this friendly with just anyone, especially not around Grandma. Perhaps this friendliness needed an asterisk.

Father Gu pulled several boxes of nutritional supplements from the trunk and followed Mother Gu across the yard.

"Xiao Lang, where’s your grandma?" Seeing her son at home, Mother Gu was delighted, running over in high heels to hug him.

Wang Ping inwardly facepalmed. Gu Lang had hidden in Hangzhou for a week without informing his parents. Clearly, a child who grew up wild remained indifferent to family matters.

"Grandma’s in the kitchen... Mom, I just played with Dahei, covered in dog hair, don’t hug me..." Gu Lang hastily retreated, dodging his mother’s embrace.

"Oh dear, stop playing with dogs, they carry germs!" Hearing about the dog hair, Mother Gu quickly stopped and was about to enter when she spotted a denim-clad figure with a white peach-shaped head looking up at her.

"What the heck is that!"

Mother Gu was startled, even cursing aloud.

Wang Ping curiously observed this fashionable woman. Since arriving in China, he hadn’t met Gu Lang’s parents. As expected, meeting them in person was quite different from hearing about them. Wang Ping was too exhausted to comment on their reactions.

"Mom... This is the pet I brought back from Tanzania. His name is... uh, Huan Huan..." Gu Lang hesitated, unable to utter the name "Boss."

"Is that you, Boss?" Grandma’s voice came from the entrance hall. Both Wang Ping and Mother Gu turned to look.

Gu Lang almost burst out laughing but quickly covered his mouth. He couldn’t understand why Grandma called her only daughter “Boss,” a strange title since there was no “Second” or “Third” in the family.

"Mom, they’re coming to load the truck tomorrow. Bowen and I came ahead to supervise..."

As Mother Gu spoke, she stepped directly over Wang Ping’s head, pushing open the door and nearly stepping on his tail with her high heels.

Wang Ping: ...Hiss, if you weren’t someone’s mom, you’d probably get punched!

"Click~"

A lighter flicked, and Father Gu placed his items on the steps, lighting a cigarette and squatting in front of Wang Ping. The badger’s eyes immediately locked onto the cigarette. Dahei circled Father Gu, occasionally sniffing the cigarette in his hand, then turning away in disdain, only to return moments later.

"So this is the little pet you brought back? Quite cute!" Father Gu smiled, reaching out to touch Wang Ping’s peach-shaped head.

"Wait, Dad..."

Gu Lang hastily tried to stop him, but before he could finish, Wang Ping bared his teeth, pretending to bite Father Gu’s hand.

"Ouch! It bites!" Father Gu jumped, nearly falling off the steps, but Gu Lang quickly steadied him.

"He doesn’t like being touched. Only Grandma can touch him; even I can’t," Gu Lang explained with a laugh.

"Quite a character," Father Gu said nonchalantly, secretly rolling his eyes and muttering curses about another discriminatory little beast. Ignoring Wang Ping, he turned to chat idly with Gu Lang by the door.

Wang Ping eyed Father Gu’s cigarette, scheming silently.

In London, sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the room brightly.

White walls, white curtains, a pale patient lying on a white-painted hospital bed, covered with a white blanket. A bouquet of white lilies stood on the bedside table.

The wind stirred the curtains, brushing against the flowers. A petal floated up and landed on the patient’s pale face.

Delicate fingers picked up the petal and gently caressed the patient’s cheek.

By the bed, a blonde girl gazed at the face before her, her cheeks slowly reddening, adding a warm touch to the cold atmosphere of the room.

"Tsk! So shameless!"

A barely audible whisper echoed by the bed, unclear whom she criticized.

"Click!"

The door opened, and a man in a brown jacket walked in.

"I knew you’d be here!" Luke shook his head helplessly, closing the door behind him. "Didn’t you get the notice? We have a mission!"

"Oh." The woman by the bed responded softly, then added, "You go ahead. I need to take care of him."

"He’ll be taken care of!" Luke approached the bed, standing behind Anna. "I’ve arranged for a caregiver; she’ll arrive tomorrow. This is our first mission after the reorganization, and everyone must participate."

"Luke!"

Anna stood up, turning to face the man coldly. "Don’t forget, you and I are volunteers. You have no right to order me around!"

"Okay! Let me rephrase that. You might change your mind." Luke shrugged, unfazed by Anna’s attitude, and whispered, "This mission is special. The target is in China! Moreover, I received intel that some people going on this mission belong to the same organization that ambushed us in Ngorongoro. You wouldn’t let me and Iru go with just two rookies, would you?"

The curtains stilled as the breeze died down, making the room feel oppressive.

After a long silence, Anna’s icy voice cut through the air: "The caregiver must be male!"

Note 1: What Grandma calls Mother Gu is actually "Lao Da" in Chinese, a term with multiple meanings. It can refer to "boss" or "the eldest child." To ensure smoother readability in the translation, I’ve chosen to use "boss."
