He is a legendary military king codenamed "Blood Wolf" who once frightened his enemies on the battlefield.
Today, he jumps off a skyscraper with his three-year-old daughter in his arms - just to make her happy.
After retiring, Lin Chao took the pseudonym Lin Hao and opened a used bookstore in the old town of Jiangcheng. He used tactical deductions to screen purchase channels, used reconnaissance logic to design bookshelf displays, and used interrogation techniques to gain insight into readers' needs. Soon, the "Safe Haven" bookstore became a holy place for young writers and scholars.
He can dismantle bombs with one hand, but he is tortured by the "who makes the first move" problem in his daughter's kindergarten all night long; he is proficient in twelve assassination techniques, but he is bombarded by messages from mothers in the parent group and wants to escape back to the battlefield. He is not afraid of bullets, but he is afraid of his daughter asking "Where is mom?"
But peace is an illusion. The remnants of the mercenary forces that he destroyed back then quietly sneaked into Jiangcheng; a piece of national secret hidden in his daughter's longevity lock attracted the covetousness of transnational plutocrats and careerists. What's even more troublesome is that An Su, the new psychology doctor in her daughter's class, has interviewed him for the third time - she is keenly aware that this seemingly ordinary bookstore owner carries the unique smell of gunpowder smoke in the battlefield.
When the enemy finally came to the door and the blade was close to his daughter's smiling face, Lin Chao closed the "Andersen's Fairy Tales" in his hand and whispered:
"Baby, close your eyes and count to ten—"
"And then they all became good people."
This is a story about protection. How the sharpest man uses the gentlest way to create the safest harbor in the world for his loved ones.
