A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 126 White lies

Upon hearing this, Li Wei realized that the stove in the kitchen hadn't been turned off, and he immediately screamed, "Oh no, the food in the pot is burnt!"

She quickly got up and ran to the kitchen. A moment later, she came out looking embarrassed and chuckled, "Um... Xiuli, Mengting, I'm afraid dinner tonight will be..."

“It’s alright,” Huang Mengting said, pretending to be a big spender. “I’ll treat you tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Li Wei and Zhang Xiuli both replied in unison, "Absolutely."

"Wait a moment, I don't want to show off something so valuable. If someone else notices it, it'll be troublesome. Wait a moment, I'll put it away," Huang Mengting said.

Li Wei urged, "Then hurry up."

……

Tang Guoqiang, who received an extraordinary special phone call, flew directly from the headquarters of a certain military region in the central government to a certain military region in S city on a military plane, and then secretly went home by special car.

After getting off work, Tang Qianqian returned home as usual. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her father sitting on the sofa and exclaimed happily, "Dad, you're back!"

Tang Guoqiang nodded and smiled with a kind face, "Yes! It's time to get off work."

Tang Qianqian sat down next to her father and said, "Yes. Dad, it's so good to see you. I've missed you so much."

Tang Guoqiang smiled broadly: "Dad misses you too, Qianqian. How are things going between you and Chao Bufan?"

Tang Qianqian blushed and said somewhat shyly, "Dad, we're fine!"

"That's good, that's good. This kid is good. Dad definitely didn't misjudge him," Tang Guoqiang praised.

"Dad, did Bufan ask you to come over?" Tang Qianqian asked.

Tang Guoqiang nodded and said, "Yes, he said he would tell me anything important in person."

"Dad, I know what it is," Tang Qianqian said with a giggle.

Tang Guoqiang asked in surprise, "Oh? You know?"

Just then, the doorbell rang—

"Dad, Bufan is here. I'll go open the door."

Tang Qianqian quickly got up to open the door. Tang Guoqiang shook his head and smiled when he saw how anxious his daughter was.

The door opened, and Tang Qianqian smiled and said, "Bufan, you've arrived."

Chao Bufan nodded and asked, "Qianqian, has your dad come back?"

Tang Qianqian looked at the sofa and said, "There, my dad is over there!"

Upon seeing Tang Guoqiang, Chao Bufan quickly greeted him: "Old Tang."

Seeing his daughter holding Chao Bufan's hand, which meant they were already together, Tang Guoqiang was overjoyed. He nodded and smiled, jokingly saying, "Bufan, you called me here so urgently, you wouldn't happen to want to discuss your marriage with Qianqian, would you?"

Chao Bufan and Tang Qianqian sat down on the sofa. After hearing Tang Guoqiang's words, Tang Qianqian smiled but remained silent. Chao Bufan said, "Old Tang, actually, the reason I called you back wasn't for this."

"Oh?" Tang Guoqiang asked with a smile, "What is that?"

Chao Bufan glanced at Tang Qianqian and then said, "Old Tang, since you are Qianqian's father and my future father-in-law, I'll get straight to the point. There's something I'd like to tell you. As a soldier, you should be familiar with the word 'kung fu,' right?"

Tang Guoqiang answered without hesitation: "I am very familiar with it. Our great nation of HX has all kinds of kung fu, there are so many."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly, then said, "Old Tang, take a look at this..."

As he spoke, he flicked his hand, and his entire palm immediately burst into flames of purple fire. Then he asked, "Old Tang, what do you think about this?"

Seeing that Chao Bufan's palm was on fire, Tang Guoqiang exclaimed in surprise, "True Qi?"

This surprised Chao Bufan slightly. He quickly withdrew his true energy and laughed, "Since you know this is true energy, then things are easier. Old Tang, I'll just be frank! Actually, I'm not from this world."

Tang Guoqiang frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Tang Qianqian chimed in, "Dad, wasn't Bufan shot to death by a hail of bullets when he took on the mission last time? Do you know why he came back to life?"

The entire Shenlong team was utterly shocked by this. Logically, someone riddled with bullets should be dead beyond any doubt, right? Yet, he miraculously came back to life—truly the most extraordinary thing in the world. Later, after discussing it with the old leader and Tang Guoqiang, they unanimously agreed that the only explanation for Falcon's resurrection was rebirth; he had been reborn.

Yes, he was indeed reborn.

Tang Guoqiang didn't seem surprised. He smiled slightly and said, "Bufan, if I'm not mistaken, you must have been reborn, right?"

Tang Qianqian asked in surprise, "Dad, so you knew all along?"

Tang Guoqiang smiled and said, "After all, I've lived most of my life. If I can't even see this, then I've lived in vain."

Chao Bufan was startled again, thinking, "He even knows this?" He smiled and said, "Old Tang, I have indeed been reborn. I took a trip to the underworld and saw and learned a lot. Originally, there were some things I didn't plan to tell you, not even Qianqian."

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian said with slight anger, "Bufan, what do you mean? We've already..."

Tang Guoqiang knew that Chao Bufan had something important to say, so he stopped his daughter from speaking, and Tang Qianqian wisely remained silent.

Chao Bufan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yesterday, when Qianqian and I went out to sea, we encountered the pirate ship, the Godwalker, which disappeared 150 years ago."

"what?"

Tang Guoqiang was startled and hurriedly asked, "Bufan, are you sure you saw this ship?"

"Dad, I saw it too!" Tang Qianqian said. "Not only me and Bufan, but three of my friends saw it too. Bufan even lied to us and said it was a mirage!"

Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, saying, "That's true."

Upon hearing this, Tang Guoqiang frowned and asked, "And then what happened?"

“It sank,” Chao Bufan replied.

"It sank?" Tang Guoqiang was slightly startled, then sighed and said, "Alas! What a pity. This ship was very strange; it could sail freely. Many countries tried to find its whereabouts, but to no avail. Bufan, do you know what was on that pirate ship?"

“Of course I know,” Chao Bufan said with a smile, “because I went up there.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Guoqiang was startled again and asked, "Bufan, did you really go up there?"

Chao Bufan nodded and then said, "Not only did I go up, but I also went inside the window of the Godwalker."

Tang Guoqiang's eyes lit up, but his action still caught the attention of Chao Bufan.

“Bufan, can you tell me what you saw inside the Godwalker?” Tang Guoqiang asked again.
