171 A False Alarm
Luo Chen noticed the little girl’s reluctant expression and thought, ‘It looks like the old-fashioned phone with strange features is essential to Su Su.’
But no matter how much Luo Chen asked, Su Su wouldn’t tell him the truth, so he gave up on the idea of interrogating her. Nonetheless, Luo Chen was confident that he would uncover Su Su’s secrets sooner or later.
To comfort Su Su’s nervousness, Luo Chen smiled and said, “But when I saw you, I felt that I must’ve made a mistake. I wondered how you could be the one who infiltrated my family’s internal network to steal our confidential information since you’re still so young. Even if you had the device, you wouldn’t have anything to do with this. Someone must’ve been trying to frame you.”
‘Since Luo Chen thinks that a four-year-old girl like me can’t do such things, I should leave it be.’ Su Su didn’t care who Luo Chen suspected to be the perpetrator.
“Well, I know that a child like you couldn’t do such things,” Luo Chen said as he bent down slightly. Then he patted the little girl’s head as though he was her elder brother.
Su Su’s body instantly relaxed as she heaved a sigh of relief. She thought that Luo Chen would expose her. Instead, he misunderstood the situation. ‘Phew, it’s a false alarm.’
Su Su returned to her usual self before the good-looking Luo Chen. She smiled sweetly and said, “You’re the best, Luo Chen!” 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝑛𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Luo Chen looked at the innocent little girl and wanted to call her out by saying, “You’re not a four-year-old girl, are you?” Instead, he kept his mouth shut with great effort.
The two kept their thoughts to themselves. The two looked affectionate when they walked out of the room, like brother and sister.
Su Jun was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. Then he saw that the two were no longer awkward and had become much gentler to each other. Su Jun was stunned.
Su Su ran toward Su Jun and climbed on his lap with both hands. She stammered, “Big Brother, I want to go to Luo Chen’s house to play!”
Since Luo Chen had shifted his suspicions away from the little girl, Su Su decided to take the opportunity and interact with Luo Chen as much as possible.
Su Su wanted to know who Luo Chen’s subordinate was. She felt that his subordinate could come in handy because their proficiency in computer science was twenty years ahead of this era. As long as Su Su could fully use that person’s talents, human technology could advance twenty years quicker than usual.
Su Su also wanted to dispel Luo Chen’s suspicions toward her while investigating the Luo family. After that, she would disable Luo Chen’s tracking software linked to her old-fashioned phone.
Luo Chen unknowingly inspired Su Su to develop her series of plans. Luo Chen would be dumbfounded when he found out about this in the future.
After the tension eased up, Su Su pulled Luo Chen away to watch some cartoons. But soon after, a sweet and milky scent filled the air. “The cookies are ready!” Su Su’s eyes lit up as she ran to the kitchen cheerfully.
