Wealthy Beauty in the 60s-Chapter 625 - 627: News

"It’s okay," Gao Jiaxing had already gotten used to such routines; after serving in the military for many years, he still maintained a high level of alertness, even while sleeping.

At this moment, Gao Jiaxing was discussing the Black Organization with Xia Xiao, who nodded, "I’ve seen the news too."

Gao Jiaxing said, "I interrogated the leader, and he mentioned someone paid them to kidnap Shitou. But after seeing our family’s background, the leader acted cautiously, having some reservations, so he didn’t act rashly."

"Who was it?" Xia Xiao frowned slightly. She had thought the organization kidnapped Shitou to traffic humans, not expecting that they were helping someone else.

"Our family now must be extremely vigilant," Gao Jiaxing added, "According to the leader, there’s a high price on the black market for kidnapping Shitou, and many people are keeping an eye on him."

As soon as Gao Jiaxing finished speaking, Xia Xiao couldn’t help but feel worried. With so many people involved in secret, it was nearly impossible to guard against.

"What should we do? Shitou can’t just not go out, not attend school. Are you suggesting boarding school?" Xia Xiao sounded somewhat helpless by the end.

But Shitou’s high intelligence, and his prominence in the Genius Youth Class, meant he was bound to attract attention and be remembered by some malicious people. Moreover, Shitou didn’t want to live an ordinary life; he aspired to make a mark in the Shi Family, not to be forgotten, which inevitably meant he couldn’t keep a low profile.

Even if not now, he would have to face the same issues sooner or later, especially since he was still young, and people lurking in the shadows didn’t pose as much of a threat yet.

But aside from Shitou, the other grandchildren needed protection too; who knew if those watching Shitou might also target Beibei and the others, given that all of Xia Xiao’s grandchildren were also intelligent.

Seeing Xia Xiao’s worry, Gao Jiaxing reassured, "Don’t be afraid, my years in the army weren’t spent in vain."

Xia Xiao nodded. The Gao family had some power now; otherwise, if they were just an ordinary family, they would really be in danger.

"Let’s sleep, I’ll keep you company," Xia Xiao, having thought it through, wasn’t as conflicted anymore. Seeing Gao Jiaxing’s tired face, she couldn’t help but feel sympathy and gently stroked his back, knowing that he needed to rest well.

Gao Jiaxing indeed was very tired; he hadn’t rested well these days, and had rushed back as soon as he was done.

Gao Jiaxing had fallen asleep earlier, but when Xia Xiao woke up and made a sound, he woke up too.

Xia Xiao stayed with Gao Jiaxing for a while longer. Once he fell asleep, she quietly got up.

Today happened to be the weekend, and seeing that it was already approaching five o’clock in the afternoon, Xia Xiao walked towards the kitchen.

As she came out, Aunt Gao said, "I’ve stewed some bird’s nest. Would you like to eat it now, Ms. Xia?"

Xia Xiao nodded, "Thank you."

Aunt Gao then brought the bird’s nest out of the kitchen, and Xia Xiao sat at the dining table sipping the rock sugar bird’s nest, feeling sweet inside.

After finishing, Xia Xiao headed into the kitchen.

Inside, Aunt Gao was simmering chicken soup. Xia Xiao smiled and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"I have," Aunt Gao responded.

Xia Xiao smiled slightly, "I’ll take over here, you go rest."

Knowing that Xia Xiao insisted on cooking and was familiar with the Gao family’s kitchen, Aunt Gao did not compete with Xia Xiao for the task.

After Aunt Gao went to rest, Xia Xiao added spring water to the chicken soup, and since Aunt Gao had already started cooking the rice, Xia Xiao also simmered a pot of chicken porridge and prepared a few simple dishes.

At this time, only Gao Guoqiang, Zheng Xianghong, Gao Jiaxing, Xia Xiao, Aunt Gao, and the kids were at home. Their sons and daughters-in-law were busy outside and didn’t call to say they were coming back.

When Xia Xiao finished cooking, Beibei and Xiao Shu all rushed over, and Xia Xiao said to Beibei and Xiao Shu, "Go call Grandpa and Grandma over for dinner."

Beibei and Xiao Shu ran towards the yard, and Huanhuan, Lele, Jianjian, and Kangkang gathered around Xia Xiao. They were all two years old now and were calling her grandma, craning their necks to see the dining table and even climbing onto the chairs.

The smile deepened on Xia Xiao’s face. She greeted Gao Guoqiang and Zheng Xianghong as they came in and instructed Beibei and Xiao Shu to watch their younger siblings, then went to wake up Gao Jiaxing and Shitou.

"Shitou, wake up. It’s time to eat." Xia Xiao knocked on and pushed open the door, only to see Shitou playing on the computer. She was momentarily speechless, having thought he was asleep. She did not expect him to be playing on the computer.

When Shitou saw Xia Xiao, his eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Grandma, I finally cracked the password."

Xia Xiao widened her eyes in disbelief. Shitou was only four years old.

"Which password did you crack?" asked Xia Xiao.

Shitou chuckled, "The police station’s data room."

Xia Xiao gasped, "You’re too bold. This isn’t a joke."

"Don’t worry. They won’t find me, and they can’t locate me either," Shitou said confidently. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Xia Xiao wasn’t sure if a genius child could truly do what Shitou had managed, but Shitou was indeed extraordinary, so she had to admit he was impressive.

"Are you unhappy?" Shitou pouted.

"Not unhappy, I’m just shocked." She had always known that Shitou wasn’t an ordinary child and had never really treated him as one. But, in the end, she still saw him as a child, so she was somewhat surprised by some of Shitou’s astounding acts.

Even the passwords of police archives could be cracked by Shitou. He was too capable.

However, Xia Xiao still warned, "But you need to be careful. Being discovered is no joke."

Shitou nodded, "I will be careful."

Xia Xiao patted Shitou’s head, "Go eat first, I’ll go wake your grandfather."

Shitou washed his face, then went to the dining room, while Xia Xiao went to wake up Gao Jiaxing.

"Brother Gao, wake up," Xia Xiao tapped Gao Jiaxing’s hand, "It’s time to eat."

Gao Jiaxing was being lazy, extending his hand and pulling Xia Xiao down to embrace her.

"I smell like cooking fumes. Come on, get up and eat. Your parents and Shitou are already waiting in the dining room," Xia Xiao said.

"You kiss me, then I’ll get up."

As soon as Gao Jiaxing finished speaking, Xia Xiao burst out laughing, "Shameless, do you think you’re Sleeping Beauty? Get up."

Gao Jiaxing hugged Xia Xiao tightly once more before letting go, springing up with a kip-up, and then giving Xia Xiao a smug smile.

Childish, Xia Xiao chuckled to herself.

When they reached the dining room, it was now lively. With several kids at the table, don’t expect quietness, even though the kids were already able to eat by themselves, and they also started to scramble for food.

"I want the chicken leg," said Huanhuan and Lele, Jianjian and Kangkang, even Beibei and Xiao Shu all wanted the chicken leg.
