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

Lin Guochang continued to explain to them the whole story in detail.

He admitted that his cooperation with Tang Chen was not voluntary, but was achieved under semi-threatening and semi-coercive circumstances.

Tang Chen once worked in the Hunter Association, where he had accumulated a wealth of resources and connections. Lin Guochang saw this and, with the help of Tang Chen's power, was able to obtain some items that were extremely important to them.

He never mentioned the series of drastic actions he had taken after arriving in the country of Laomei.

In the prison, he successfully identified the culprit who caused Lin Yi's disappearance - Connor, one of the four kings.

With his extraordinary courage and wisdom, Lin Guochang carefully planned and carried out the kidnapping operation, and then imprisoned Connor and tortured him severely for three days and three nights.

It seemed as if he had sealed this experience deeply in the deepest part of his heart, and he didn't intend to let anyone know about it.

He just narrated calmly, saying that with the help of Tang Chen, he sneaked into a mysterious laboratory in Lao Mei and stole some items with special powers from it. These items were exactly the key for them to travel to this parallel world.

He had only one goal, which was to try every possible means to save Lin Yi.

After hearing what Lin Guochang said, the three boys and girls still had a hint of doubt in their eyes, but they finally chose to believe him.

Lin Guochang's gaze slowly swept across the three boys and girls in front of him, and saw that their eyes were clear and pure, like a clear spring, without any impurities or suspicion.

The trust that naturally revealed in those eyes was like the warm spring sun, shining straight into Lin Guochang's heart.

Seeing such a look, Lin Guochang's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He raised his head slightly and exhaled gently.

"Huh, I didn't expect that the lie I just made up would actually work. These three kids are much easier to fool than Lin Yi."

Lin Guochang pondered in his heart, and the image of Lin Yi's blushing and annoying appearance emerged in his mind, forming a sharp contrast with the three innocent boys and girls in front of him.

However, Lin Guochang immediately shook his head, as if to deny his previous thoughts.

"No, this is the reaction that normal boys and girls should have. For someone like Lin Yi, I'm afraid it would be lucky if I didn't get fooled, let alone fool him."

Lin Yi, the rebellious son, has been extremely intelligent and quick-witted since childhood. He has his own unique views and keen insights on everything. It is not easy to get away with it in front of him.

And these three children, perhaps because they were inexperienced in the world, or perhaps because they were kind and innocent by nature, believed him so easily.

Lin Guochang sighed softly in his heart, and the sigh seemed to echo in the depths of his heart, lasting for a long time.

He knew clearly in his mind that the lies he had made up were merely a helpless stopgap measure at the moment, like a simple bridge temporarily built in a storm that could only hold up for a while.

But now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

Deep down in his heart, he secretly told himself that time was running out and he had to race against time to find an effective way to save Lin Yi.

At this moment, Ye Feng frowned slightly, and his heart seemed to be entangled by a thin spider silk.

Although there was a trace of doubt gently swaying in his heart, when his eyes met Lin Guochang's seemingly sincere and slightly tired expression, the doubt seemed to be temporarily blown away by an invisible breeze.

He thought to himself that Uncle Lin had always been an elder worthy of respect and trust in his heart.

Although his usual style of doing things sometimes makes people feel unreliable, this time, maybe things are just as he described.

As for Ruan Yaoyao and Mi Yu, their clear eyes were full of trust in Lin Guochang.

They had no doubt about Lin Guochang's words, just like two docile lambs, following their shepherd without reservation.

Zeraora lay quietly beside him, but its sharp eyes kept moving slowly over Lin Guochang, as if examining him or exploring him.

It seemed that in its keen intuition, it had clearly felt that this man was shrouded in a layer of hazy fog, and there must be some unknown secrets hidden behind it that were waiting to be revealed.

"So...Uncle Lin, have you found Lin Yi?"

Ruan Yaoyao blinked her big watery eyes, which were full of concern and expectation, and finally raised this most critical question.

Her voice was clear and pleasant, and it was particularly clear in the slightly silent atmosphere.

When Lin Guochang heard this question, a look of helplessness instantly emerged on his face, and that deep helplessness seemed to have carved a few shallow grooves on his face.

“No, when I came to this world, the situation was extremely critical, and I only had time to save a few humans who were being violently attacked by the Ultimate Beasts.

At that time, I fully expected that by following them to these so-called camps, I might be able to find out any news about Lin Yi.

After all, in such a panicked and unfamiliar environment, the camp seemed to be the most likely place to obtain information.

But up to now, after much searching, I only know that Lin Yi has been to this camp. As for where he went afterwards, I still have no clue. It's like being in a thick fog and unable to find the direction. "

Lin Guochang spoke slowly, his tone full of fatigue and loss.

At this point, his expression paused slightly, and when he looked at Ruan Yaoyao, a different light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Also, you should call me grandpa, but that makes me look old. Just call me dad, Yaoyao."

There was a subtle hint of intimacy and anticipation in that tone.

"...Oh, Dad...Dad?"

Ruan Yaoyao's little face turned red instantly, and the blush quickly spread like the gorgeous sunset in the sky.

She lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes, and she called out softly in a voice as thin as a mosquito, with the shyness and timidity unique to a young girl.

"You said that Lin Yi has been to this camp?"

Mi Yu lowered her head slightly, and her bangs on her forehead slid down gently, covering her eyes that were sparkling with thought.

Her voice was soft, but with a subtle urgency, as if she had keenly captured the key information in Lin Guochang's words.

"Ah."

Lin Guochang nodded solemnly, his eyes revealing a complex mixture of fatigue and relief.

“I heard from people in other camps that there was a young man who frequently traveled between camps, working tirelessly to collect supplies and intelligence.

After careful comparison and deduction of the boy's appearance, behavior style, and various details, I have enough reason to believe that the man is Lin Yi."
