Chapter 1487 This is all the debt you owe
The phone rang suddenly. Cheng Zhiyuan glanced at the caller and after a moment of silence, he finally picked up the phone.
"grandfather."
"I'm in Yungang now. I'll come to the Huo family right away."
The old man's voice was a little hoarse, but he didn't look tired at all. It was still cold and serious, just like every previous conversation.
Cheng Zhiyuan silently looked at the world full of demons and monsters before him, and said without emotion,
"I'm very busy now, Grandpa."
"No matter how busy you are, you must come right away!"
There was a loud shout over there. The old man suppressed his rapid breathing and squeezed out a tearing sound from his throat through gritted teeth.
"Your aunt was kidnapped. Someone called me and said she was dead and that you would be next!"
His eyes froze for a moment, and the man's face turned even paler.
He hung up the phone, expressionless, almost dazed, and said,
"Go back to the Huo family."
·
Before he could even bow to the old man, he was slapped in the face, hitting his face hard and turning it to the other side.
Mr. Huo, who was watching from the side, froze slightly, his face turned a little cold.
"It was my Pian Pian who allowed him to stay in Yungang. If Commander Cheng wants to blame me, he might as well give me a slap first."
"I'm teaching my grandson a lesson, it's none of your business."
Commander Cheng looked at the person in front of him coldly, his voice hard and merciless.
Mr. Huo's face turned even colder, and he was interrupted by Cheng Zhiyuan when he was about to speak.
He wiped the blood from the broken skin at the corner of his mouth indifferently, lowered his head with half of his face rapidly swelling, and said indifferently,
"Grandpa, you don't have to speak for me. I am the one who protects my aunt."
Nor did he protect Pian Pian well.
So, this is what I deserve.
But......
He paused, and finally looked up at Commander Cheng.
"I hope Grandpa can tell me everything about that phone call. Finding talent is the most important thing now."
The old man sat down on the sofa in the hall with a cold expression and quickly explained the entire call he had received.
The room was large, and the quiet, cold, and tense atmosphere lasted for a long while before being interrupted by Commander Cheng.
"You know who's behind this, don't you?"
He stared at his grandson, his lips almost cracked. The gunshot from the phone and his daughter's familiar voice kept echoing, torturing him physically and mentally.
Extremely scared.
Looking at Cheng Zhiyuan's silence at this moment, he suddenly felt that his grandson probably knew everything.
"Tell me, who is that person?"
Cheng Zhiyuan was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head and looked at him.
"This is all your debt, Grandpa."
He stared at the old man with red eyes, expressionless, speaking word by word.
This was the first time Cheng Zhiyuan spoke to his grandfather in such an almost disrespectful manner.
Commander Cheng was stunned, and then he heard his grandson utter a familiar yet unfamiliar name.
"Gu Chuyan."
The cloudy pupils constricted instantly, and this time the daze lasted even longer.
Then the old man slowly closed his eyes and understood everything.
·
Chu Yan stood on the large terrace outside the restaurant, watching Shen Pianpian's back as she slowly walked up the stairs to the eighth floor. He didn't turn around until she heard the sound of the floor-to-ceiling window being closed.
The night wind blew his short hair up. He leaned on the railing and looked at the dark sea for a long time before turning around and preparing to walk into the restaurant.
But for some reason, the footsteps stopped just before entering the door.
As if he suddenly changed his mind, he turned around and walked down the stairs with the wall lamps on, one step at a time.
It was exactly the same road we had just walked, but when we became one person instead of two people, I felt inexplicably different.
His fingers slid across the delicately painted and carved railings, and he felt the wind become much colder.
