Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce-Chapter 395: Episode 42.5 Pound Them Like Mochi!
Under the pleasant rays of the sun, Shen Yuan’s calm thoughts suddenly scattered like leaves blown by the wind after hearing his son’s seemingly innocent remark.
He and Bai Tingfeng looked in the direction his son was pointing and saw four speeding cars driving away from the amusement park.
Thanks to their good vantage point, Shen Yuan could clearly observe the driving manner of the four cars and spot the details of each vehicle.
Three white vans were following a red sports car very closely. That red sports car was Edison Wen. Shen Yuan saw it up close just a few minutes ago when he wrung it clean.
"But wait, how did you know that the red sports car was Edison Wen’s?" he asked the boy.
Yanyan had no chance to see it up close, so how?
"I just assumed, Daddy. I saw on the internet that most of the arrogant people who love to show off always drive brightly coloured, cool-looking cars. He fits perfectly into the mold, so I thought it must be his!" Yanyan brightly smiled.
Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng were speechless.
Is this a successful story effectively promoting internet literacy or a warning to parents about sensitive content found online?
Yanyan’s flexible thinking was commendable, but the nitty-gritty details...
"So, Daddy," Yanyan drew his parents back to reality. "Was he really rich-rich or not-really-rich?"
Shen Yuan felt like he was getting a migraine at that question. "Well, Daddy will check if the other three vans following him are his convoy. Just a moment."
Shen Yuan fished his phone out of his pocket and dialled Wen Huian’s (his female alpha subordinate) number. She is responsible for communicating with the minor agents who are responsible for regularly monitoring the potential targets of the Cardinals.
"Yes, Leader Shen?" The female alpha’s respectful voice sounded right after the call connected. That’s what Shen Yuan liked about her. No empty hi or hello. Just straight to business.
"Is there a way to discreetly communicate with the undercover agents protecting Edison Wen? You know, that obnoxious rising actor who starred in several over-hyped films?" Shen Yuan said without filter, making not only Wen Huian laugh but Bai Tingfeng as well.
"Yes, there is, Leader Shen. They are always wearing invisible communication equipment. They can receive instructions and call for backup in secret."
"Would you like me to hook you up with the comms, Leader Shen?" Wen Huian promptly asked.
"Yes! Yes, please." Shen Yuan raised his hands as a sign of relief. "This is urgent. I need to check on them."
"Okay, Leader Shen." Wen Huian quickly connected Shen Yuan’s call to the undercover agents.
Shen Yuan heard a sharp ringing sound first before the line stabilised. "Hello. This is Shen Yuan. Can I speak with the undercover agents responsible for Edison Wen?" He asked, tiredly sitting on the seat of the Ferris wheel.
Thanks to the gravity manipulation magic cast on the Ferris wheel, the car was stably levitating in the air.
Shen Yuan felt at peace even though a bad premonition loomed behind him.
"L-Leader Shen?" A nervous voice croaked from the other end of the line.
"They must be nervous that you will reprimand them," Bai Tingfeng commented from the side. He has fair experience in leadership and knows how an employee sounds when they are afraid of getting fired.
Shen Yuan sighed. The fact that these undercover agents have the luxury to be nervous about earlier blunders means that there is no immediate danger around them.
That put him at ease— just slightly.
But he still decided to ask away. "Calm down. I just called to ask you a question. Aside from the two of you, does your asshole boss have other security details?"
"L—eader Shen? No, just us. Edison Wen only set up minimal security whenever he is out doing some personal... stuff."
Shen Yuan’s heart dropped to the pit of his stomach.
"Listen to me and do not panic," Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng exchanged an intense gaze.
The alpha, knowing what to do in this situation, got his phone and started making phone calls.
Meanwhile, Yanyan silently crept to his Daddy’s side and held Shen Yuan’s cold hand.
"Three white vans are tailing your red sports car. The fact that you are unable to see them means they are using some kind of ability to hide their presence. But do not panic!" Shen Yuan said the last part firmly. He doesn’t want to attract the aggression of the flies following them when there is still no solid backup.
"They are only using a skill with a limited area of effect. I can keep an eye on you from a distance. In the meantime, look for a wide, spacious space where the confrontation can happen without dragging innocent civilians. Lead the white vans there while the backups are on the way."
"Undrestood, Leader Shen." The nervous undercover agent said with commendable composure.
"You guys are doing great. Keep it up." Shen Yuan said, just in time for their car to hit the ground.
Shen Yuan, Bai Tingfeng and Yanyan got out of the ride and walked away.
The alpha signalled his parents, who had yet to come out of the Ferris wheel, that something had come up. Rong Suyin and Bai Weisheng, of course, wanted to catch up with them—but Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng were already on the move with the relentless urgency of hunters who had scented blood.
"Wait!" Bai Tingfeng suddenly grabbed his husband when he saw him slightly levitating in the air. "Don’t tell me you are leaving me alone?"
"Yeah." Shen Yuan answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "You need to babysit our son."
"No way. I am coming with you." Bai Tingfeng insisted. "We will leave our son with Dad. Let me—"
The alpha looked down to talk with his little boy. But all the hair on his body almost stood up when he noticed that his son was gone!
"We lost Yanyan!" Bai Tingfeng panicked.
Shen Yuan flicked a finger on Bai Tingfeng’s forehead. "Okay. Calm down. Look over there."
The celestial fox spirit pointed in the direction of a massive ball of black and white that was running.
On top of it was their boy Yanyan!
"That naughty—!" Bai Tingfeng felt his forehead on the brink of explosion from the stress.
"It looks like our boy intends to follow us no matter what. Stop him while I get the car," Shen Yuan instructed his husband after a brief moment of consideration.
"We will extend our bonding time outside the park." Shen Yuan grinned like the Joker. "Does a short road trip sound good?"
~~~
Since this concerns the job of Shen Yuan, it is natural for him to take the stirring wheel.
The initial nervousness and sense of dread were now gone. Only the contagious excitement is present.
The strong beating of Yanyan’s heart was being led on by the energetic electronic beat coming out of the car’s sound system, making him bolder and excited at the thought of stalking the bad guys.
Yanyan couldn’t help but try to sing along with the song.
"Yeah, this is a hot spot. Don’t think and just have fun."
"You ready to take it? Be good and open your mouth."
"Itadakimasu! Here’s my mochi. Take it. Bon appetit!"
"Surely, it will make you happy! Hurry up! Hurry! Eat it up!"
"Oh, did you say you don’t want to? Then, should I pound you like mochi?
"Beat you up! Grit your teeth as I beat you up!"
"Can we change the song? I feel weird hearing my Dad rapping after a very long time." Bai Tingfeng complained from the passenger seat. He gave his happily mumbling son, who is seated in the backseat with his panda, a look.
They are on a rescue mission, but the atmosphere weirdly turned into party-like.
"Why? It fits the mood. Besides, this is my favorite from his Sweet Yet Psycho solo album." Shen Yuan replied, not tearing his gaze away from the road. He picked up his phone. "You are getting close to the vans. Try to change lanes while maintaining your speed."
"Copy that, Leader Shen."
Bai Tingfeng momentarily checked his phone. "The backup from the Hunter Association and our family’s security are already in the rotary. They blocked any car from accessing it."
"Did you hear what my husband said?" Shen Yuan told his agent. "You can speed up now.
He then turned to his husband. "Why don’t you just connect your phone to the car? That way you wouldn’t have to hold it." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"No... The music will stop. We want to have fun while I, the oriole, stalk the stupid mantises while they think that they can eat the cicada."
Bai Tingfeng speechlessly leaned his back against the car seat. Guess he can only listen to his father’s old recorded moanings.
"Ihhh. Ohhh. Ahh. Beat you up. Gonna beat you up!" Yanyan sang and danced in the back seat.
"You are aware that my Dad is not singing about mochi." Bai Tingfeng helplessly whispered.
"Roll it in between your teeth. Eat it up! Eat me up!" The lyrics seemed to tease him more.
"Hahaha!" Of course, Shen Yuan is aware of the deep meaning of the playful song! He just loved teasing his husband.
He reached out to push the button of the player, but then, his warning bells suddenly blared.
"Kick the accelerator! The friendlies in the white van took out their guns!" Shen Yuan yelled at his phone.
"We will go closer to these bastards." The celestial fox spirit decided, pressing on the accelerator harder himself.
Bai Tingfeng had no problem with that since their van is bullet-proof and magic attack-proof from the protective talismans. However, there is one big problem.
"We will lose sight of them once our car enters the area of effect of their stealth skill. How will you see them?"
"That is not a problem. I just need to put a marker on them." In an instant, Shen Yuan summoned his foxfire beasts.
"Go and sit on the roof of those three white vans. Be my eyes."
The three foxfire beasts didn’t hesitate to jump out of the car. Shen Yuan then covered the van with his magic to reinforce and hide it from sight.
"Hold tight. We are going to cut right through them!" Shen Yuan’s eyes glinted a mischievous light. "Pound them like mochi."
"Beat them like mochi, Daddy!" Yanyan energetically chirped, hugging his huge pet panda.
