I'll give my daughter one more second.

"Huh? Dad, how did you know about this?"

But as calm as I am, I thought I would have to spend a lot of time explaining the whole story to my dad, but now it seems like my dad already knows about it.

"Mirin and Tsukine contacted me by phone earlier and explained the situation to me. I was the one who came up with the plan to capture the granddaughter. The situation there seems to be quite serious. If it weren't for my identity preventing me from traveling abroad at will, I would have wanted to rush over there as soon as possible to see for myself. Sigh."

"In short, the capture plan was a success. However, despite using many methods, we were unable to get Yun Ying to confess."

"Did the plan succeed? Hahaha, it's good that it wasn't the worst-case scenario. Now I can temporarily put the subspace search plan on hold."

Dad's really optimistic. But what's this subspace search plan? It sounds pretty amazing.

"In fact, after learning about the situation, I prepared many plans and also considered the possibility that even if the capture was successful, my granddaughter would still refuse to speak no matter what."

"Did Dad come to any conclusions from his analysis?" Wu Shen asked hurriedly.

"I wouldn't call it a conclusion. You can't cook without rice. With limited information, even reasoning and analysis are unlikely to yield anything of value. However, I can offer a starting point for methodological analysis."

"I don't think there's anything too complicated or deep-seated about why my granddaughter is unwilling to tell us. Put yourself in her shoes, son, if you had done or encountered something when you were little, would you not want to tell us, your parents, or your grandparents?"

Hmm... what could I have done that I wouldn't want to tell my parents? Wu Shen pondered to himself.

Because my parents are quite open-minded, and my mother has a bit of a crazy personality, there are very few things she doesn't want to talk about, but it's not like she doesn't talk about anything at all.

If I had to pick the thing I least want to talk about, it would definitely be anything related to erotica. Even the most open-minded person wouldn't discuss that kind of thing with their parents, right?

However, given Wu Shen's wild imagination, it's hard to imagine that "erotic" could be related to Yun Ying's self-sacrifice and reluctance to confess.

Let's rule out that ridiculous reason first!

If we're talking about the second thing Wu Shen would least like to mention, it would probably be his childhood crush on Zi, a truly dark history.

This thing probably has nothing to do with Yun Ying not being honest, so let's rule it out!

The third point is that I failed a test once when I was in elementary school, and I was so afraid of being lectured that I didn't dare to go home.

As a result, he didn't go home in the middle of the night and was lured back by a female ghost on the street. If Zi and his mother hadn't arrived in time, he might have been completely taken advantage of.

Looking back now, it's truly a miracle that I'm still alive.

"So, have you thought of anything you absolutely refused to talk about when you were a child?"

"Well, if I had to say, the most memorable thing is probably failing an exam and not daring to tell my family my grades..."

"Didn't dare to admit he failed the exam? Hmm... that's a pretty good conclusion."

"Dad?"

"I think I have an idea. Let me think about it carefully. I'll call you back in a bit. By the way, son, if you're interested, you can ask your daughters the same question now. You might discover some unexpected surprises."

"Should we ask our daughter?"

"Yes, while we are open-minded, the generation gap is an objective factor that does exist. After all, everyone grows up in different eras, and their ideas will differ to some extent."

"Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. If possible, it would be more accurate to ask for the opinions of one's peers."

"Having many granddaughters has its advantages. It means there are more people we can investigate."

"By the way, remember to ask Yueyin what happened during her first time traveling before reincarnation. Her reaction and answer might give you some inspiration."

After rambling on for a few more minutes, Mr. Wu said he needed to go and calculate the information he had received before hanging up the phone.

Phew... calling Dad was definitely the right choice. At least now I have things to do and think about. Next, I'll go ask my daughters for advice.

With the greater cause of saving Yunying at his side, he might unexpectedly uncover many of the things his daughters have been secretly doing and thinking behind his back.

Wu Shen sorted out his thoughts and returned to his room. He originally wanted to wait quietly for Yueyin to finish interrogating Yunying before he could talk to her, but he found that the lolis were all dejected, lying on the bed and sofa like salted fish. Even the confident Yueyin had a rare frown.

"What's wrong with them all? They were full of ambition just now, but now they're all like salted fish."

"No, I give up. Yunying is too tight-lipped; we can't get anything out of her."

The dancer, dressed in a dejected, forward-leaning pose, while Yun Ying, who was being watched over by her mother, revealed a smug smile.

"Hehe, I knew everyone was so kind, they wouldn't dare actually feed me 'disastrous' food~~"

"Damn it! I was just trying to scare Yunying with Yege's cooking, but she saw right through me!" Yuyin said, pounding her chest in frustration.

"It's precisely because everyone has always been so considerate of me that I can't forgive myself even more..." Yun Ying suddenly lowered her head, a hint of bitterness mixed with her triumphant smile, and murmured in a voice that no one could hear.

[Update progress 3/6]

Chapter 1008 The Daughters' Secret

"So there's no other way after all? In that case, it would be better to follow Dad's suggestion and ask the daughters first."

Wu Shen thought for a moment, then walked into the living room and waved to his daughters.

"dad?"

"I have something I'd like to ask you. Just come one at a time."

"Y-yes, what is it? I didn't do anything stupid when Dad went out just now..." Mai said, hiding behind Chie with a slightly unfocused look in her eyes.

Wuyi currently owes several tickling punishments, but she hasn't been punished immediately because interrogating Yunying is more important. Wuyi is worried that her father will call her out to be punished now.

"Don't worry, it's about getting Yunying to confess. Who wants to go first?" Wu Shen asked after scanning the living room.

"Is that so? In that case, Chie, you go first. I'm selflessly giving you this rare opportunity!"

Despite Wu Shen's assurances, Wu Yi remained skeptical and began encouraging others to test the waters first.

"By the way, if your answer satisfies me, it's possible that you might reduce the punishment a bit, you know?" Wu Shen gave a knowing smile.

"W-What!? The punishment can actually be reduced or waived?"

Upon hearing this, Mai's ears twitched slightly, and she immediately volunteered to step forward.

"Everyone, I'll take on this great, glorious, and arduous mission. Let me be the first to meet Dad! You all step back and fire at me!" Mai made up her mind, her expression resolute and serious.

"It's not like I'm asking you to duel with me, don't make the atmosphere so tragic. It's just asking a question. Since Mai, you volunteered, you can go first."

Wu Shen walked up, took Wu Yi's small hand, and led her outside to the living room.

"Dad, feel free to ask me any questions you want!" Wuyi said, spinning around in place.

"Mai, if something happens to you, would you not want to tell me and Shiyu?"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Wu Shen's question, the composed smile on Wu Yi's face gradually disappeared.

"Dad, why are you asking this question?"

Mai turned her face to the side, lowered her head and asked guiltily, her reaction just like a little girl who had done something wrong and wanted to hide it.

"Don't worry, because Dad gave me advice. He suggested that I try to put myself in Yunying's shoes and ask her peers to analyze why she doesn't want to be honest. That's why I came back to ask you this question, Wuyi."

"So, if I answer this question, will it increase the probability of Yunying confessing?" Wuyi seemed very hesitant and conflicted.

"You could say that. By the way, even if you tell me these things now, I won't blame you, so there's no need to hide anything. For Yunying's sake, tell me the truth honestly."

"You really won't get angry no matter what I say?"

"real."

"Really, really, you won't get angry no matter what I say?"

"really."

"Really, really, really..."

"Mai, if you keep talking, even if I don't get angry, someone else will."

Mai quickly waved her hand, her face flushed, and said, "Don't be angry! I understand! I'll confess right now!"

Wu Yi clenched her little fists, making up her mind. Since it was a rare opportunity for her father to grant a general amnesty, she would spill everything that would make her father angry if he found out.

Moreover, since it can help Yunying, we can't keep it a secret any longer.

"If I really had to say what I'm most afraid to tell my dad, it would be about the notebook," Mai said hesitantly.

"The notebook? What notebook?" Wu Shen didn't react for a moment.

"It's about the time we all teamed up to make comic books to participate in exhibitions."

"Oh, that thing. I remember, that siscon manga, although the plot was a bit strange, had a pretty novel idea."

Unlike previous stories about sister complexes that delved deeper into ethics, this story eliminates ethical issues at the genetic level, highlighting a simple and brutal approach.

The best way to solve a problem is to eliminate the problem itself!

"But I already know about this, so how could it be something you're afraid to tell me?"

"Because we also secretly made other notebooks behind Dad's back."

"What notebook?"

"Dad, come here."

As Wu Yi spoke, she beckoned to Wu Shen. Wu Shen half-squatted down and moved closer to Wu Yi. Then, Wu Yi stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words into Wu Shen's ear.

At first, Wu Shen seemed quite calm, but after hearing what Wu Yi said, Wu Shen's expression suddenly changed.

"Dance costume!!!"

"Dad, you said you wouldn't get angry!" Wu Yi seemed to have prepared in advance, leaping backward and instantly widening the distance between herself and Wu Shen.

"Phew... You're right. I won't get angry, but you're not allowed to do it again next time, understand?" Wu Shen took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.

"Okay, Dad." Mai nodded with a smile.

What should I draw for the next Shen Cup battle? I'm really looking forward to it. Mai thought to herself.

"Why do I have a feeling that you were just planning the content for the next comic book?" Wu Shen squinted.

"Hahaha, an illusion, absolutely an illusion! Well, Dad's question is answered now, I'll go call the next person!" Wu Yi sensed something was wrong and ran back to the living room.

"That Mai-yi guy, he's pretty quick to escape."

It seems necessary to keep a close eye on the costumes before the next exhibition, Wu Shen thought to himself.
