His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Chapter 1480 A Class Act of the Highest Level

Despite the seriousness of their conversation, Iris couldn't help but chuckle after hearing what her AI cat son said. She even snickered upon seeing her big brother roll his eyes.

The TV display now showed Lu Zihao and a small image of Bacon at the lower left corner of the screen.

"Don't blame Bacon, Big Brother," she said when she finally controlled her laughter. "Bacon is right."

"Thank you, Mother, for proving that Bacon is indeed right." The black cat on the TV display looked bored as usual, but his tail started rotating like helicopter rotor blades.

Jin Liwei opened a water bottle and handed it to his wife. His eyes were also filled with amusement.

Iris gave him a smile of thanks before taking a sip of water and handing the bottle back to him.

Lu Zihao couldn't take it anymore. "Enough of this pointless conversation!"

"Uncle Zihao, talking about one's family is never pointless unless you're a useless human being," Bacon once again blocked him.

In the end, Lu Zihao didn't bother arguing with the savage AI cat anymore. He had worked with Bacon for long enough to know that his AI cat nephew would never miss the chance to trade barbed words with him whenever the brat had a chance.

If not for Bacon's extraordinary skills and abilities, Lu Zihao wouldn't even want to spend a lot of time working with such a two-faced, savage brat every day.

He couldn't help but complain and ask his sister, "Which bastard did you base this brat's sh*tty personality on?"

Iris almost couldn't stop her laughter from bursting out.

But before she could think of an excuse to tell her brother, Bacon also made a complaint against his uncle.

"Mother, Uncle Zihao just described Bacon's personality as sh*tty. It's not classy. Bacon's feelings are severely hurt. Father, please help Bacon demand compensation from Uncle Zihao for emotional distress."

Before Iris and Jin Liwei could even react, Lu Zihao was already sighing. Then in a resigned tone, he said, "I'll deposit money to you later, okay? Brat, just let me talk to your parents in peace! Goddammit, this brat is the bane of me!"

Bacon's response was to turn around and show his fluffy butt. Ah, he was now sulking.

Lu Zihao scoffed at the AI cat's attitude.

Iris saw this and shook her head, sighing. Her eyes, however, were still full of amusement. Jin Liwei had a similar expression.

After this lighthearted interlude, the adults finally returned to their earlier serious conversation.

"It's useless for me to continue personally interrogating those mangy mutts," Lu Zihao said. "I'll leave them to my subordinates. Perhaps they would give in and finally open their dirty mouths to confess after some time passes. If not, the sharks in the ocean should be hungry for fresh meat."

Iris didn't comment. This wasn't the time to talk about ethics and morality. Those unidentified armed men were now proven to be extremely dangerous, especially if her brother's suspicion was correct that they belonged to one of the enemy organizations of the Vetrovs.

Any person who could endure the Vetrov's inhuman torture methods without spilling anything was also inhuman.

A person like this most likely had been indoctrinated into becoming a mindless puppet who only followed orders from their organization, just like the minions belonging to the Vetrov criminal empire before its downfall.

Iris rubbed her arms. Just remembering her parents' and brothers' subordinates from before was enough to give her goosebumps.

Those people were like robots programmed to have absolute loyalty to the Vetrovs. If needed, they could literally dig out their hearts and offer them to their lords and ladies.

Jin Liwei once again noticed her disturbed reaction. He pulled her closer and rubbed her arms for her, sending more of his warmth to her.

"Do whatever you want with those people," Iris finally told her brother. "I don't want them near Little Jun again or any member of our family, especially the children."

"You don't have to tell me that, little sister." Lu Zihao glanced at something off-camera. "My wife is calling. I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, bye—"

Before Iris could finish her goodbye, Lu Zihao already ended the call.

Bacon turned around and faced his parents again. "Please do not take offence at Uncle Zihao's rudeness, Mother and Father. Aunt Jinjing is just worried because Uncle Zihao is always out working and comes back home late every night. She always calls around this time to make sure that he's fine and still alive. Sometimes, he doesn't even come home at all. Aunt Jinjing fears that Little Misha and Little Dima might forget what their father looks like one day. Bacon thinks that Uncle Zihao is not classy for not prioritizing his family. Isn't that right, Mother and Father?"

Iris sighed. This was what she feared as well.

She already made several attempts to convince her big brother to put his revenge plan against the Vetrov enemies on hold and prioritize enjoying his new life.

She had hoped that Long Jinjing and the birth of the Lu twins would make him re-evaluate his priorities, but by the look of things, it seemed that he was still intent on pursuing his original vendetta.

In addition, Iris felt guilty because Lu Zihao had been working so hard since Little Jun got kidnapped. He was the one who personally rescued the child, captured the perpetrators, interrogated them, and now he was investigating the identities of the real mastermind of the kidnapping.

"I'll visit Big Sister Jinjing and my nephews more," Iris announced.

"En." Jin Liwei supported her decision.

"Bacon is sure that Aunt Jinjing and the Lu twins will appreciate Mother for visiting them more often," Bacon said, his black tail swishing side to side. "Indeed, Bacon's mother is an absolute class act of the highest level. Father is truly lucky to have Mother in his life."

Of course, the black AI cat didn't miss the chance to uplift his mother, while taking a (slight) dig at his father. Not too much compared to what he always did to his Uncle Zihao, though.

Fortunately, Jin Liwei agreed with Bacon. "Yes, I'm indeed lucky to have your mom."

Bacon's tail once again rotated until it blurred.
