Fearing that Sato Ken might do or say something inappropriate in front of Xu Xinning or the Mu family again, Chen Jianguo secretly got up in the middle of the night and went to the place Sato Ken had arranged to meet him.

That place was very remote, located in the westernmost corner of the compound.

If he hadn't spent the last two days touring the compound with Xu Laosan and the others, he wouldn't have known such a place existed.

Because the leaves are quite dense, the rustling sound made by the wind in the middle of the night is actually quite frightening.

This reminded Chen Jianguo of the first time Sato Takeru came to see him.

He was very sad that day, and after school he ran to Wang Ying's grave.

He knelt before Wang Ying's grave, sobbing and crying about why he wasn't Chen Ping's son, and even scolded Wang Ying for being immoral. He forgot what he said afterward, but he just vented all the emotions he had been suppressing.

Although he cursed fiercely, he actually missed Wang Ying very much.

He really misses the days when he had his parents.

He leaned against Wang Ying's tombstone, expressing his longing for her.

He was too heartbroken to notice the changes at the grave, where offerings were placed and there were traces of burning incense.

When Chen Jianguo's emotions had calmed down, Sato Takeru appeared in front of him.

That day he was dressed casually, with a pair of black leather shoes on his feet, and at first glance he had a rather handsome and dashing appearance.

Regardless of the person's appearance, his sudden appearance startled Chen Jianguo.

He instinctively grabbed a stone beside him, his body, which had been leaning against the tombstone, became alert, and his two outstretched legs were pulled back, ready to stand up at any moment.

This was the first time Takeru Satoh had been so close to his son, and it was impossible for him not to be excited.

He had imagined countless times what it would be like to meet his son, but he never expected it to be at Wang Ying's grave.

It must be said that the Chen family raised this child very well. In such a time of scarcity, they raised him to exude a scholarly air. His clothes and pants were all without a single patch, and his shoes were the kind of Feiyue shoes that children coveted at the time.

This gave Takeru Satoh a sliver of solace amidst his resentment towards the Chen family.

Seeing the child's wariness towards him, Sato Takeru didn't mind and said seriously to Chen Jianguo, "I heard everything you just said."

This one sentence made Chen Jianguo feel as if he had been struck by lightning.

If this person were to reveal this, not only he, but the entire Chen family would be in trouble.

Chen Jianguo's face flushed red with nervousness, and his fingers turned white from gripping the stone so tightly.

Sato Takeru noticed Chen Jianguo's nervousness and cut to the chase: "I am your biological father. My name is Sato Takeru. You can probably guess my identity from my name, right?"

Chen Jianguo gritted his teeth; he couldn't accept this result, and he felt an urge to go berserk.

But perhaps because he was too surprised, his body seemed to freeze at that moment.

Takeru Satoh continued, “Your mother and I are both fighting to make our country better. As our son, I hope you will also prioritize the country. You are my only son, Takeru Satoh, and the young master of our Satoh family.”

Chen Jianguo didn't hear a word Sato Takeru said afterward. He seemed to talk about Wang Ying and his own past, as well as the happy times they had together. He also seemed to tell him about the Sato family.

Chen Jianguo didn't even know how he got home that day.

Since then, people have appeared around Chen Jianguo who claim to be protecting him, but Chen Jianguo sees them as people who are there to monitor him.

Takeru Satoh would visit him from time to time.

Chen Jianguo tried his best to avoid it, but those people had the ability to get him to meet Sato Takeru.

Under the streetlights, the shadows of the trees were stretched long, and he could hear his own breathing clearly. The sound of his footsteps was also amplified infinitely, and Chen Jianguo felt a chill run down his spine.

He thought Sato Takeru was a born scoundrel, a scoundrel, even the place where he arranged to meet him was so shady.

Sato Takeru sat on the branch of the tallest tree. From this spot, he could see very far. He could see Chen Jianguo from a great distance and also observe whether Chen Jianguo was being watched.

This is a really good spot; he can see all around clearly, but it would be very difficult to discover that there is someone hiding in the tree.

Chen Jianguo walked around the agreed-upon place, but did not see Sato Takeru.

Did this person not come tonight?

That's quite possible, considering he made the appointment last night.

If I didn't come last night, then it's possible that Takeru Satoh won't come tonight either.

Perhaps it's because he saw him today and achieved the desired effect that he didn't come? Chen Jianguo thought to himself.

Sato Takeru watched Chen Jianguo circle around, but he still didn't rush out. Firstly, he wanted to observe whether Chen Jianguo had been exposed, and secondly, he wanted to leave this brat waiting, since he had actually made his father wait all night last night.

Just as Chen Jianguo was about to turn back, Sato Takeru spoke up, "Don't you have any patience at all? I waited for you all night last night."

Chen Jianguo scoffed inwardly, "Who would believe that?"

If he didn't sleep at all last night, would he be so energetic this morning?

He's just a nobody; he never tells the truth. If you believe him, you're out of your mind.

Sato Takeru saw that his son wasn't angry at all, but instead chuckled a few times, and thought that his son was quite unique.

Takeru Satoh: "Are you coming up or do you want me to come down? I personally think it's better for you to come up. There's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'The higher you stand, the farther you see.' The scenery up here is something you can't appreciate from below."

Seeing that Chen Jianguo didn't move, Sato Takeru said again, "You can't even climb a tree? You really can't compare to Xu Laosan in this respect. I suspect that kid is a monkey in disguise, a very clever monkey."

Chen Jianguo ignored his rambling and climbed up the tree in a flash.

How could a child raised in a military compound not know how to climb trees?

Sato Takeru saw Chen Jianguo climbing the tree and suppressed a laugh; this kid just loved being provoked.

However, Sato Takeru was quite pleased with Chen Jianguo's tree-climbing action. As expected of his son, he was quite agile. With proper training, his future achievements would definitely surpass his own.

Once up in the tree, Chen Jianguo looked around and realized why Sato Takeru liked to sit in trees.

From here, you can clearly observe the movements at each entrance. If someone comes, you can see it clearly from here.

That old fox, no wonder he chose this location for the meeting.
