Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

"You have to trust me."

Ruan Tianli pointed at the pile of rotten meat on the ground with a solemn look on his face, his expression extremely serious.

"When I came, he was already like this, broken into pieces."

"..."

The members of the alliance action team silently stared at the debris scattered on the ground. They were unable to make out any human figures. It was obvious that the deceased had been treated extremely cruelly before his death.

For a moment, the whole scene fell into deathly silence.

Who would believe you when you are covered in blood? You should at least pretend to clean up the scene.

"King Ruan, you..." Finally, one of the team members couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, you mean this." Ruan Tianli glanced at the bloodstains on his clothes and started to talk nonsense as if nothing had happened.

"I just ate dragon fruit."

“Who would believe that…”

The team member was about to retort but was interrupted by the captain of the action team.

The captain stepped forward, saluted Ruan Tianli, and said solemnly:

"King Ruan, thank you for your assistance this time. It's just a pity that the mastermind this time was silenced. However, we will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let the same thing happen again."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Let's go for a drink some other day. It's my treat."

The captain of the task force shook his head seriously and declined Ruan Tianli's invitation.

Ruan Tianli did not force it, but took out a wet wipe in front of everyone, slowly wiped the blood off his body, and then walked towards the exit.

Looking at Ruan Tianli's back gradually walking away, the team member who had spoken just now seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by the captain's eyes.

Only after confirming that Ruan Tianli had completely left did the captain signal the team member that he could speak.

"Captain, is this in compliance with regulations?"

"What else? Arrest him? Or kill him on the spot? Do we have the ability to do that? Don't forget, they are the Four Heavenly Kings!"

The captain's words left the team member speechless.

As a senior, the captain noticed the complicated expression on the young team member's face, so he walked up, patted him gently on the shoulder, and pointed in the direction they came from.

"You saw what this guy did just now. For a beast like him to end up in such a miserable state for conducting human research, it's what he deserves."

"I understand."

Seeing the normal expressions on the young team members' faces, the team leader nodded, then looked around at the ruins with lingering fear.

"Okay, let's start taking action."

……

Inside the alliance headquarters.

"Darknet?"

Xia Nantian looked at the data sent by Ruan Tian, ​​with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he still nodded to indicate that he understood.

"I'll keep an eye on it for you," he said softly.

However, Ruan Tianli shook his head slightly and said firmly:

"No, I mean to give this task to me and let me handle it personally."

Xia Nantian quickly understood Ruan Tianli's intention and did not directly refuse, but reminded:

"...Okay, but remember to leave him alive, otherwise there might be a lot of trouble later."

After hearing this, Ruan Tianli sat down on the chair, quickly put his hands on the keyboard, and began to search for some important information in the alliance's internal network.

Xia Nantian retracted his gaze and turned his attention to Lu Wusong, who was worried about something, and then teased:

"What could make you so anxious?"

"What else?"

Hearing this, Lu Wusong rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

"The Philippines has sent several more ships to provoke China's coastal areas. I am now busy dispatching the navy to intercept them! International affairs cannot be taken lightly and must be handled with caution."

"Don't worry, Lin Guochang has already gone there. He is an expert in water systems, and no one can match him on the sea."

"I'm just worried that the situation will reach a point where a fight is necessary."

Lu Wusong was considering whether he should go. Although Lin Guochang was quite capable, he had never dealt with anything like this before. He would inevitably make some mistakes on international issues due to his lack of experience.

I really want to be like this guy...

Lu Wusong turned his gaze to Xia Nantian and couldn't help revealing an envious expression.

After all, the champion only needs to travel around the country to deal with Pokémon hunters, legendary beast rampages and other various incidents that local officials cannot handle, while Lu Wusong has a lot more things to consider.

"By the way, Lu Wusong, I saw the application your cousin submitted to the alliance not long ago to resign from her position as gym leader and disband the Xinghui Gym."

Suddenly, Xia Nantian seemed to remember something important. He turned his head, stared at Lu Wusong sharply, and asked:

"Are you sure this is her true wish? Or was she forced by your family to submit such an application?"

Faced with Xia Nantian's sudden questioning, Lu Wusong's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He took a deep breath and answered slowly:

“…It’s me.”

When talking about his cousin, Lu Wusong's eyes revealed a subtle tenderness. He was silent for a moment, then continued:

"As for the specific process, I cannot explain it in detail. But what is certain is that she herself hopes to relieve herself of the burden of being the owner of the museum."

Hearing this, Xia Nantian showed a hint of surprise on his face. He asked:

"So, has she decided to go home? After all, after stepping down as the head of the gym, maybe she will choose to return to her family."

However, Lu Wusong shook his head helplessly and said with a sigh: "No."

His tone revealed a deep worry and helplessness.

"Auntie always pushed Xinghui, hoping that she could find a good home and get married as soon as possible. But Xinghui was unwilling to accept such an arrangement, and they had a big fight over it. Since then, Xinghui has refused to go home even during festivals."

Speaking of this, Lu Wusong seemed particularly depressed.

Xia Nantian frowned and asked with concern: "How is she now?"

"Live with me." Lu Wusong replied in a low voice.

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire office suddenly became extremely tense.

Several people who were originally busy with their work looked up and looked at Lu Wusong in surprise.

Lu Wusong could feel everyone's gazes, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. He glared at them fiercely, and made a dissatisfied sound.

"What do you mean? She just moved into my house in the imperial capital."

“We didn’t say anything.”

Grandma Jiangzi was knitting a scarf silently and said with a smile.

"Indeed, who would force their daughter to get married early?"

As a veteran daughter-slave, Ruan Tianli said that he had something to say. He suddenly remembered something and stood up suddenly.

"No! Your cousin is no longer a gym leader, and the gym has been disbanded. Does that mean the badge my daughter earned by challenging her still count?"

"Of course it counts. Every time a badge is issued, the alliance will obtain the corresponding data. As long as you get the badge before the Starlight Gym is disbanded, it will count."

Just as Xia Nantian finished explaining, he heard a rapid phone ring.

Ruan Tianli took out his cell phone, glanced at the caller, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Is it Guochang?"

"...Can you hear me? The signal is not very good at sea."

After the call was connected, Lin Guochang's intermittent voice came out.

"Then why don't you use a special communication device? You're still chatting over voice even though you're so far away?"

"...Oh, wait a minute."

After the call was hung up, a moment later, the communication device on Ruan Tianli's waist began to flash, and Lin Guochang's figure appeared on the screen.
