A list of enviable best friends, including Chief Superintendent Bald Qiang.

"That Qiang's father is the real 'big shot' who is the most deeply hidden in this story."

"His kindness transformed into two of the strongest and most powerful 'protective umbrellas' to shield his son from all storms."

...

The World of "Mr. Amazing China"

"...Holy crap."

"No wonder he was able to become the captain of a logging team of thousands of people in that passionate era of the 'working class'."

"This personal charm, this kindness, is truly... beyond words."

"Look."

"That chief inspector and that boss Li, in their world, one represents the pinnacle of the 'white path' and the other represents the ultimate 'black path'—truly 'big shots'."

"It turns out that they had all received his care."

"So, those two weapons of Bald Qiang are enough to make him the strongest protective umbrella for his rampage across the world."

"To be precise, he didn't even seek out Rang himself."

"It was all thanks to his amazing father, who secured it for him decades ago."

Looking at the sky, Wang Xiaoer revealed an expression filled with extreme admiration and a hint of longing.

"Yes."

"This, perhaps, is what is meant by 'fatherly love is as solid as a mountain'."

"Although he became estranged from his son because of his work, and even broke his son's favorite toy with his own hands, leaving an indelible shadow on his childhood."

"But he continued to silently protect his child in another, more profound and greater way after his death."

"What a... respectable and great father."

A look of deep emotion and admiration appeared on Li Xue's face.

"...My dad?"

"The reason why Mr. Li... he was so good to me..."

"They gave me money, they gave me weapons, and they even took my place in prison for those two years..."

"It's all because of...my dad?"

Bald Qiang looked at the sky, revealing an expression filled with extreme shock, emotion, and unprecedented, immense confusion—an incredibly complex mix of emotions.

He remembered his childhood, with his always busy, always strict, and even cold-hearted father who had personally broken his most beloved flashlight.

He also remembered that mysterious Boss Li, who, although always scolding him, had secretly given everything for him.

He discovered it for the first time.

These two men played completely different roles in his life.

Incredibly, they were connected in a way he could never have imagined.

"……dad……"

He looked at the image of his father in his youth, full of vigor and ambition, on the screen, and his face broke into a tearful expression filled with endless longing, regret, and belated understanding.

The World of Boonie Bears - Security Department

“…Qiang’s father…”

"White Bear Mountain Logging Team... Captain..."

In the command center, the young chief inspector looked at the familiar figure on the screen—a figure he had almost forgotten—and revealed an expression filled with extreme shock and sudden realization.

In an instant, a vivid image from decades ago flashed into his mind.

It was a cold winter night with heavy snowfall.

As a child, having lost his way with his parents while playing, he was huddled outside the logging team's camp, shivering with hunger and cold.

Just as he was about to freeze to death.

A tall, reliable man, as solid as a mountain, discovered him.

The man not only took him back to his warm camp, but also gave him a bowl of steaming hot noodles, the best he had ever eaten in his life.

The very next day, he personally drove that old truck over mountains and valleys to safely return him to his parents, who were already frantic with worry.

That man was the hero in the hearts of everyone in the White Bear Mountain logging team back then.

Strong Dad.

"……turn out to be."

"So, that Bald Qiang..."

"It's...it's his son..."

The chief inspector looked at the screen, revealing an incredibly complex expression filled with endless emotion, relief, and deep longing for his deceased friend.

On this day, the adult Bald Qiang was conducting an amplifier experiment at home.

[Qiang's mother suddenly called to tell him that his father, Qiang's father, was on his way to visit him by train.]

Bald Qiang was taken aback and rushed to the train station to greet him.

"Dad, are you...aren't you tired?" Bald Qiang seemed a little reserved after seeing his father.

"Qiangzi, it's been so long! Dad missed you so much!" Qiang's father was unusually happy and hugged him tightly.

"By the way, Dad brought you lots of good things from home."

As he spoke, Qiang's father took out various items from his huge backpack, including homemade preserved eggs, hair growth tonic, and even children's cold medicine.

Then, he pulled out a clucking hen from behind him.

The startled hen struggled free from his grasp, flapped its wings, and flew onto Bald Qiang's head.

[Bald Qiang drove his father home, and the two of them didn't know what to say to each other the whole way.]

The night passed in an awkward and silent atmosphere.

The World of The King's Avatar

"……Ugh."

"Although...although that father of Qiang's seemed very, very happy after seeing his son."

“And I brought him so many miscellaneous, wonderful things from so far away, all brimming with ‘fatherly love’…”

"but……"

"The two of them seemed so awkward and distant."

"We met at the train station, drove home, and then had dinner together in the evening."

"Throughout the entire journey, he didn't say a single decent or considerate word."

"There is still a deep, unresolved rift between the father and son."

In Happy's training room, Chen Guo looked at the father and son on the screen above, who, despite their long-awaited reunion, were filled with awkwardness and silence. She revealed an expression full of worry and a touch of heartache.

"……Um."

"That father actually loved his son, Bald Qiang, very, very much."

“Look at him, coming all the way from so far away to visit his son.”

“I brought so many things, all sorts of things that I made myself and that I thought my son might need.”

"They even brought children's cold medicine, which looked quite funny."

"But that shows that in his heart, Bald Qiang may always be that little kid who hasn't grown up yet and needs his careful care."

"It's just... because of that hurtful rift from before (ahad) about 'report cards' and 'flashlights'."

"It's left both of them wondering how to talk to each other properly and intimately like they used to."

Su Mucheng, standing to the side, also wore a gentle expression full of understanding and emotion.

"...It's a very typical, awkward, Eastern-style father-son relationship in our world."

"Father, he was always used to expressing his love, which was as heavy as a mountain, through his clumsy and silent actions."

"And the son, because of the hurt he suffered as a child, and that damned, cheap sense of self-esteem."

"And I don't know how to frankly respond to this heavy, unspoken love."

"Both of them clearly care about each other and miss each other very much."

"But they didn't know what to say or where to begin."

"That's why it's so awkward right now, the air is practically frozen."

"However, since they've come, it's a good start."

"Hopefully, they can take advantage of this rare opportunity to get together."

"Let's say all those things that have been bottled up in our hearts for so many years, completely and thoroughly."

"Then, make up properly."

Ye Xiu's face revealed a kind and sincere blessing.

The next day, Qiang's father got up early and made him a hearty breakfast.

But to his surprise, his father cooked the same meals for him every day after that, which quickly made him feel nauseous.

So, he would secretly pour the food for the bears outside the window.

After dinner, Qiang's dad would take him to play on the swings, play soccer, go to the amusement park, and so on.

Although Bald Qiang seemed very unwilling, his father still dragged him to do these things.

...

The world of Fruit Warriors

"strangeness……"

"That's really strange."

"Why does Bald Qiang's father cook the exact same meals for him every day?"

Even the most delicious food gets boring if you eat it every day, right?

"And...and..."

"That Bald Qiang, he's clearly already a grown man with a scruffy beard."

"Why does his father still drag him to swing on the swings, play soccer, and go to those childish amusement parks that only kids like us go to?"

Looking at the bald-headed Qiang on the sky, who was being forcibly dragged to the swing by his father and looked utterly hopeless, Lu Xiaoguo revealed a pure, childlike, and big question mark on her face.

"Um……"

"That is indeed a bit strange."

"I guess that father must have missed the most important period of growth for Bald Qiang during his childhood because he was busy with work."

"So, that's why he's trying to make amends to me in this seemingly clumsy way?"

"But... but his way of making amends seems... misplaced?"

Cheng Liuxiang wore an expression that was both somewhat understanding and awkward, yet also full of a sense of justice.

"No, no."

"You have all only seen the most superficial surface."

"But I, Pineapple Snow, have already seen through the truth hidden behind this, a truth filled with sorrow."
