His dark, bright eyes were fixed on Li Zhanting and Li Zixiao, and a hint of suppressed tears flickered in his stubborn eyes.
Yes, Daddy does seem like a good person now, but so what?
Does he think that by being good to his mother now, he can make up for what he owed her in the past?
cannot!
Never!
Thinking of the inhumane treatment his mother had endured, Gu Jingxing felt a surge of resentment and bitterness in his chest. He forced himself to hold back his tears.
Gu Momo quickly waved to Gu Jingxing, "Jingxing, what are you hiding for? Come here quickly."
Gu Jingxing glared fiercely at Li Zhanting with his dark, bright eyes, as if deliberately trying to spite him, and said menacingly, "Mommy, you can come back by yourself from now on. Our house is only so big, we can't fit more people in!"
After saying that, he angrily turned his head and rushed into his small room.
Li Zhanting felt a slight pain in his heart when he saw the glimmer of tears in Gu Jingxing's eyes.
He quickly took long strides and chased after him, but just as he reached the door, Gu Jingxing slammed the door shut on Li Zhanting, leaving him outside.
Li Zhanting was turned away, and his throat felt choked with emotion, a bitter feeling rising in his throat.
Li Qingling and Li Zixiao both looked curiously in Li Zhanting's direction. Gu Momo quickly covered for Li Zhanting, picking up a cute little baby in each arm.
"Come on, you two little darlings! Jingxing is playing hide-and-seek with your daddy. We haven't seen each other in ages. How about Mommy gives you a bath? Let me tell you, Mommy's bubble bath is so comfortable!"
Li Qingling's bright eyes immediately lit up with excitement, "Wow! Can Ling'er take a bath with Mommy?!"
"Of course! Zixiao, would you like to take a bath with Mommy?"
Gu Momo originally just wanted to tease Li Zixiao, but why did her Zixiao's cold little face always make people want to tease him?
Sure enough, a slight blush appeared on Li Zixiao's cool and handsome face.
He's a man, he won't do it!
"Jingxing..." Li Zhanting knocked gently on the door. He seemed to have expected that Gu Jingxing wouldn't open it for him, so he deliberately softened his voice and spoke with great patience:
"Daddy was wrong about what happened in the past, and Daddy will definitely try his best to make up for it. Daddy doesn't ask you to forgive me now, but you have to believe in Daddy. Whether it's you and your mommy, or Ling'er and Zixiao, Daddy will never be biased, okay?"
In the room, Gu Jingxing listened intently to every word Li Zhanting said, afraid of missing a single one.
But the more he listened to Li Zhanting's words, the more tears streamed down his face.
He felt a lump in his throat, and it was hard to breathe through his nose and throat, so he opened his mouth wide and gasped for air, trying his best not to cry out.
He really loves his daddy, but his daddy...
The person you should be making amends to the most is Mommy...
Li Zhanting knocked on the door again, but heard no response from inside. He could only conclude with:
"Daddy has something very important to do tonight. Please take good care of your mommy for me. I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Inside the room, Gu Jingxing suddenly felt the sounds outside disappear, and a sense of panic suddenly gripped him.
Daddy going out so late... Could he be doing something dangerous?
But how can he help Mommy and get Daddy to make it up to her as soon as possible?
Just then, a strange flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the window!
Gu Jingxing's heart immediately jumped. Could it be...? It's pouring rain outside!
*
In the deep black night sky, dark clouds loomed over the entire capital, their dense gloom seemingly threatening to engulf the city.
The torrential rain poured down like a silver river, plunging from the dark sky into the dark city.
Such stormy weather made the Nightfall Alliance's operations even more difficult; a slight misstep could mean certain death!
Led by Li Zhanting, the Dark Night Alliance launched a comprehensive search of the entire capital, centered around the Li family.
Guihai has concealed his identity from the Li family for so long using a human skin mask, but he rarely leaves the Li family. Therefore, if Grandpa is really still alive, then the location where Grandpa is hidden must not be too far away, otherwise Guihai would not be able to check on Grandpa's condition so easily.
Despite the Night Alliance's extensive search, they haven't found a single clue!
"Reporting to Master Ting, a search of the entire western part of the city has yielded no suspicious areas!"
"Master Ting, a thorough search has been conducted in the east of the city, and there's nothing suspicious about it!"
Throughout the night, Li Zhanting received numerous messages from his subordinates, but almost none of them yielded any useful intelligence.
A sharp, cold light flashed in Li Zhanting's cold eyes. He slammed his hand on the table, his eyes filled with a terrifying glint.
"Mo Feng! Proceed with my plan and search Liu Ying!"
"Also, prevent Liu Ying from passing messages to them internally, and while you're at it, get his account password for communicating with the organization!"
"Yes, Master Ting!" Upon receiving the order, Mo Feng quickly led his subordinates to Liu Ying's residence.
Li Zhanting had long since realized that Liu Ying was an imposter, so when he dealt with the fake Old Master Li, he specifically cut off the connection between Liu Ying and the fake Old Master Li.
Liu Ying is still indulging in his own pipe dream, thinking that his plan has succeeded!
Outside, a fierce storm raged, threatening to engulf everything!
