Hogwarts: Jade, stop controlling Harry!

Chapter 58: Borrowing for Xiaoyu? No, Dad will investigate. Okay.

Although Chief Inspector Black still suspected that Jackie Chan was hiding something from him.

After all, an honest man like Jackie Chan is really not good at lying.

His big nose turns red when he lies.

But Sheriff Black has known Jackie Chan for so many years, and he knows that Jackie Chan would never do anything bad.

In the end, Sheriff Blake dispelled his doubts and chose to believe his old friend's story.

"Alright then...it seems our vault needs some magical protection."

"Jackie Chan, could you ask my dad if there's any way to make the vault resist... uh, magic?"

Jackie Chan nodded quickly, "Of course, Sheriff Black... Let's go back and ask now."

"That's good." Sheriff Blake nodded. "Then I'll look forward to your good news."

Watching Jackie Chan pull Jade away as they walked away.

Sheriff Black scratched his head thoughtfully, then picked up the phone on his desk.

"This is Blake. Have all senior agents in my office for a meeting!"

"Also, tonight, District 13 will be conducting a drill to prevent dangerous individuals and criminal organizations from infiltrating! Everyone must participate..."

.....

Jackie Chan led Jade away from District 13 without saying a word.

I waited until I got into a taxi and returned to my dad's antique shop.

After getting out of the car, Jackie Chan stopped at the store entrance and looked at Xiaoyu.

"Jade, I told you not to reveal that you have magic, and not to mention Harry to anyone! This is important; it concerns your safety."

"But I didn't have any other reasonable explanation."

Xiaoyu calmly shrugged.

She didn't think she had said anything wrong; otherwise, how would she explain how she opened the vault?

Jackie Chan choked on his words.

"Alright then, but if anyone asks you again in the future..."

"I'll just say that my dad taught me, or that I learned it from him, is that alright?" Xiaoyu answered crisply.

"That's right..."

Xiaoyu's eyes immediately lit up. "So, that means we can use magic from now on?"

Jackie Chan then realized, "Absolutely not!"

"And if someone asks you, you must deny it to the death."

Xiaoyu shrugged regretfully, her big eyes gleaming with mischief as she asked, "Uncle Long, doesn't this count as teaching me how to lie?"

Jackie Chan was a little overwhelmed and blushed. He quickly and awkwardly changed the subject, "By the way, Jade, why did you go to get the talisman?"

"Well..." Xiaoyu's eyes darted around.

"Don't lie to Uncle Long! Otherwise I'll tell Dad what happened today."

Jackie Chan used his father's name to threaten Jade.

Although Xiaoyu wasn't afraid of her father, she was terrified of his incessant lecturing... that feeling was too painful!

"Okay, okay."

Xiaoyu simply laid everything bare, revealing all her guesses about the charm and how it would return to Harry.

After a long pause, Jackie Chan said with a strange expression.

"Jade, you mean... you fainted after touching the talisman, then appeared inside Harry and even mastered invisibility?"

"That's right, that's why I wanted to see if this would happen with other talismans as well..."

With her hands clasped together, Jade pleaded earnestly with Jackie Chan, "Let me go back and see, Uncle Chan! I really want a magic wand!"

Xiaoyu thought Jackie Chan would blame her for disregarding the danger.

But to everyone's surprise, Jackie Chan's expression became subtle, and after a while, he finally uttered a sentence.

"Xiaoyu, you should have told me sooner..."

Xiaoyu: Huh?

.....

Jackie Chan has always discouraged Jade from going on adventures with him.

Although, his niece was more difficult to manage than any other child.

It's an impossible task for an ordinary person to keep an eye on Xiaoyu.

But Jackie Chan would still give Jade a lecture after each incident.

But we have to see what it is.

Jackie Chan didn't say he disliked Jade; of course he liked his quirky niece very much.

But Jackie Chan doesn't deny that he also misses Harry quite a bit...

Well, in short, Jackie Chan also thought it was a good idea.

"Xiaoyu, you should trust Uncle Long's judgment and tell me the whole story. Maybe then I'll consider lending you the talisman so you can try it out."

"But it shouldn't have been you who took it upon yourself to try and steal the talisman!"

Jackie Chan's words had no effect on Xiaoyu, but instead, a bold idea popped into her mind.

"Uncle Long, do you like Harry a little more?" Jade asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Jackie Chan panicked.

"What are you talking about, Jade? Of course I don't like Harry more..."

Xiaoyu: "..."

Clearly, Xiaoyu didn't believe her Uncle Long's explanation at all.

Seeing his niece glaring at him with her arms crossed, Jackie Chan felt even more embarrassed. He couldn't help but touch his burning nose and solemnly emphasized.

"Uncle Jackie never lies..."

"Admit it, Uncle Dragon, you are!" Jade said sadly. "Harry, he's only been here for a week. I'm your real niece!"

Jackie Chan panicked and hurriedly tried to comfort Jade.

"Of course I like you more, Jade, but if only you could be as obedient and sensible as Harry..."

"No, I'm going to tell Dad about this and let him be the judge," Xiaoyu said angrily.

Jackie Chan quickly stopped Jade, "Jade, how about I take you to Deer Park this weekend?"

"No! I'm not going!"

"Then I'll buy you the latest Super Deer comic book."

Seeing that the time was right, Xiaoyu's eyes flashed with cunning. "Uncle Long, unless you lend me the talisman, I will never forgive you."

Jackie Chan was about to agree, but then he paused.

Finally, it dawned on me that Xiaoyu's anger earlier was all an act; her real purpose was to obtain the talisman.

Jackie Chan was both amused and exasperated. After thinking for a moment, he said...

"No, Xiaoyu."

"Ah! Why!" Xiaoyu was very disappointed.

"I think we can ask Dad first if this will cause you any harm or danger... If not, Dad should be able to borrow the talisman to study it."

Older gingers are more spicy.

Jackie Chan winked at Jade, then changed his tune from borrowing the talisman to saying that his father needed to study it.

As for the research process, Xiaoyu touched the talisman, and such a small matter didn't matter.

Xiaoyu immediately beamed with joy, stretched out her arms to hug Jackie Chan's neck, and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, Uncle Long! You're so kind!"

Jackie Chan stood up with a smile. Although Jade was a bit too mischievous, his little niece was quite adorable at times.

"By the way, Xiaoyu, was the magic you used to open the vault just now also from a talisman?"

"Of course not, I learned that myself!"

Jackie Chan was taken aback.

How long has Xiaoyu been learning magic? Only a week, yet she was able to open the most secure vault door in District 13?

Could it be that his niece is a magical prodigy...?
