Chapter 299 The whole family enters Level 1 protection mode
The defense level of Xishan Fortress has been raised again.
The hidden sentries that were originally stationed in the dense forest surrounding the entire manor have been withdrawn.
Instead, a 24/7 micro-bee swarm monitoring system developed by Lin's Technology has been put into operation. These mechanical insects, as thin as cicada wings, tirelessly weave a dense and insurmountable infrared sensing net in the air.
Any unauthorized creature, even a bird, will be instantly and accurately locked and marked by the AI in the background when it approaches within a hundred meters of the core area.
Su Qingge leaned back on the specially made temperature-controlled sofa, covered with the delicate cashmere blanket.
She looked around at the solemn-looking servants who seemed to walk on tiptoe, and then looked helplessly at Lin Zhou, who was sitting behind his desk looking through documents.
"Lin Zhou, I feel like you're not protecting me right now, you're building a magnificent prison."
Su Qingge's voice was soft, and due to the early stages of pregnancy, her brows exuded an endearing languidness.
Lin Zhou put down the top-secret document about the liquidation of overseas assets, looked up, and the sharp edge in his eyes that belonged to a superior instantly melted away.
He quickly walked to Su Qingge's side, squatted down, and gently placed his hand on her still flat stomach.
"This is not a prison, Qingge, this is our safe haven."
Lin Zhou's voice was deep and had a reassuring magnetic quality.
"When Nuonuo was born, I couldn't stand guard at the door and stop those dirty things from plotting against me. This has always been my deepest regret in this life."
"But this time it's different. This little guy is not only our second treasure, but it also symbolizes the true future and peace of the Lin family from now on."
"I have to make sure that not a single speck of dirt in this world gets on you."
He spoke with a calm tone, as if the ruthless man who had just bankrupted those business rivals who were trying to collude to attack Lin's stock with just a few words on the phone was not himself at all.
For him, dealing with those scum who lurk behind the scenes in finance is as simple and natural as sweeping the dust in front of the house.
"Those old rivals...you've dealt with them all cleanly?"
Su Qingge asked with some curiosity, knowing that Lin Zhou's actions these past few days had been swift and brutal.
Lin Zhou snorted coldly, a disdainful and domineering smile curving his lips.
"They're just a few old fogies who haven't figured out how times have changed. They think they can fight me by banding together."
"I simply cut off their cash flow and, incidentally, sent their tax evasion ledgers to the International Court of Justice. They should be busy finding lawyers now and have no time to bother us."
When Lin Zhou uttered this method of "dimensional reduction attack," it possessed an almost understated, artistic quality.
Just then.
A series of light and rhythmic footsteps came from the end of the corridor.
Nuonuo, clutching a thick fairy tale picture book with its corners slightly curled from being turned over, struggled to climb onto the sofa.
She nestled obediently into Su Qingge's arms, her little hand gently resting on the back of her mother's hand, her big eyes filled with solemnity.
"Mommy, was Erbao good today? Did it ask for oranges?"
She asked in a soft, childlike voice, her mature demeanor making Old Chen, who was standing nearby, tear up again.
Su Qingge smiled gently and straightened her daughter's little skirt.
"Erbao is very good. It said it wants to hear Nuonuo tell a story."
Upon hearing this, Nuonuo's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
She deftly flipped open the picture book, pointed to the little knight in gorgeous armor, and spoke loudly.
"Erbao, listen carefully. Today, Nuonuo will tell you a story about a great hero protecting a princess."
"There was once a great hero who looked a lot like my dad, but he was even a little bit more imposing than my dad..."
Every day without fail, the little guy lies on Su Qingge's belly and tells her fairy tales, as if this allows him to reach some profound understanding with the unborn little life.
As Su Qingge listened to her daughter's innocent voice and felt the warmth from Lin Zhou's hand, the weariness she felt due to the family power struggle completely vanished at that moment.
Lin Zhou stood up, not wanting to disturb the tender moment between the mother and daughter.
He walked quietly to the terrace, his steps steady. As he pushed open the French windows, a cool mountain breeze rushed in.
It was dusk in the Western Hills at that time.
The blood-red setting sun on the horizon was magnificently painting the entire sky.
The orange-red light shone on Lin Zhou's well-defined face, casting a long shadow on him.
He leaned against the white marble railing, holding the black phone that was still encrypted, gazing intently at the setting sun in the distance.
he knows.
Although the clearing has gone smoothly these past few days, and although the fortress in Xishan is strong.
But those old foxes who are truly hiding in the shadows, eyeing the "source code" and the Lin family, will never completely give up just because he wants to be a father of two.
Quite the opposite.
The arrival of this new life became the most tempting, yet also the most deadly, target in their eyes.
Lin Zhou took a deep breath of the slightly cool air, his fingertips tracing a cold arc across the phone screen.
He calmly called out in his mind.
"System, activate full-area environment scan. I need to know how many frequencies of gunpowder are hidden within this 50-kilometer radius."
[Ding! Full-area scan activated. Multiple unexplained fluctuations detected and automatically added to the 'Clear List'.]
Lin Zhou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cruel and arrogant smile.
He enjoyed the feeling of extinguishing all the flames before the storm arrived.
That's the most primal instinct of a father and a husband.
As long as Lin Zhou is still standing here, no one can break the tranquility under this afterglow.
"Lin Zhou, what are you looking at?"
Su Qingge's voice came from inside the house, carrying a hint of concern.
Lin Zhou turned around, the murderous intent on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a lazy and gentle smile.
He waved his hand, and the setting sun fell into his eyes like an inextinguishable flame.
"I'm thinking about tomorrow's weather. Should we buy our team leader a sun hat?"
Su Qingge smiled coquettishly, hugged Nuonuo, and waved to him.
"Come back quickly, Nuonuo said that the evil dragon in the story was chased away by Daddy, it's time for dinner."
Lin Zhou laughed heartily, taking one last look at the setting sun sinking below the horizon.
"Okay, let's eat. Nothing is more important than having a full stomach."
He closed the French windows, shutting out the last bit of coldness.
The lights of Xishan Fortress lit up one after another in an orderly fashion in the night.
That was a peaceful state under absolute control.
"Old Chen, for tomorrow's bird's nest, add an extra gram of that top-grade, blood-red variety."
"Yes, young master, it's all arranged."
"Qingge, do you think we should book the whole zoo for ourselves tomorrow?"
"Shut up right now!"
The sounds of conversation, accompanied by the aroma of food, echoed through the sturdy fortress.
Lin Zhou suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.
"Qingge, don't you think the evil dragon in that story hasn't paid its ransom yet?"
