Zhu Zhu's voice was trembling noticeably, and she looked around frantically: "Oh my God, there's someone! It seems to be an old man, he...he ran away! How could he disappear in the blink of an eye?"
Her words revealed a deep uneasiness, as if every shadow in the night hid unknown fear.
Seeing this, Chuchu quickly and firmly pulled Zhu Zhu behind her, like a solid barrier, and soothed her with her warm and firm voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything will be fine. It must be a homeless person, don't worry, I'll contact the property management to handle this matter right away. I've sent the door code to Zhao Qing, you guys go upstairs first, there are warm lights and hot water waiting for you, relax."
Zhu Zhu's face was still as pale as paper. It was obvious that she was still frightened by the shock just now. She looked at Chu Chu with uncertainty in her eyes: "Chu Chu, is it really okay for you to stay here alone? I'm a little worried about you."
Chuchu smiled slightly, her smile full of confidence and peace of mind: "Don't worry, I'm fine. There are all-round surveillance cameras here, not even a kitten can escape their eyes. Moreover, the security team in the community is very professional. They patrol at all times to ensure everyone's safety. I will go find them and explain the situation in detail. It will be resolved soon."
Seeing this, Zhao Qing immediately displayed her usual composure and calmness. She quickly took Chuchu and Song Nuan's hands, and the three of them walked quickly to the elevator: "Chuchu, feel free to contact us if anything happens. We'll go up first, but remember, if you don't come back within ten minutes or if anything seems amiss, we will call the police immediately to ensure your safety."
Chuchu nodded and said "yes," her eyes revealing trust and gratitude towards her friend. As the elevator door slowly closed, Zhao Qing, Song Nuan, and Zhu Zhu were taken away.
Chuchu smelled a familiar smell, as if she had seen it before, but she couldn't tell what it was.
She had just concluded that this was an old human being, so she said it was a homeless person.
Chu Chu turned abruptly, facing the long, silent corridor. Her gaze pierced the darkness, as if she wanted to examine every corner thoroughly. She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling, a resolute strength surging within her. Then, with all her strength, she shouted, "You're hiding, why don't you come out? I can already see your shadow!"
Just as he finished speaking, a subtle and chaotic sound came from the shadows, as if the hinges of a door that had not been opened for a long time were slowly turning.
Then, a figure walked out slowly. The figure looked particularly disheveled, with tattered clothes and a tattered black hat pressed low on the top of the head, almost covering most of the face. The hunched body looked even smaller and helpless.
Chu Chu's eyes were fixed on the man, her heart filled with confusion and vigilance. "Who are you? Why are you here?"
There was a subtle tremor in her voice, but she still tried to remain calm.
He admitted with some difficulty: "Chu Chu, I am your father..."
Chu Chu was suddenly surprised and said, "Are you Chu Mingfeng?"
Chu Mingfeng nodded, "Yes, I am."
Chu Chu's brows furrowed, her doubts growing. "I've heard of your name, and I know you were once the CEO of a listed company. But...but how did you become like this?"
Chu Mingfeng sighed, his body seeming to become even more hunched. "It's a long story..."
Chu Chuwen had never imagined that his once glorious father would fall into such a state, and he had never thought that he would find him at this time: "So you are looking for me... for money?"
But people are always greedy.
Chuchu suddenly didn't want to give him money.
"If you ask for money, I won't give it to you. No matter how much I give you, it's like a bottomless pit. I'm doing fine now, as you can see."
Chu Mingfeng shook his head, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "No, Chuchu. I'm not here to ask for anything from you. I just want to see if you are doing well, and want to tell you that no matter what I become, you are my daughter, and I will always love you."
Chu Chu, however, looked indifferent and said, "Don't talk to me about this. I don't understand love. I'm not a human being, and you can't control me at will. You may have found the wrong person!"
She had no memory of Chu Mingfeng's past, let alone the ignorant time before she was three years old.
She is a high and mighty god, the leader of the Chongming bird clan, and the noble Princess Qingming in the underworld. To her, the emotional entanglements of the human world are nothing but illusions, far away and unattainable.
She understood people's hearts. In her eyes, Chu Mingfeng at this moment was just an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life and looked desolate. Even if she felt pity for him, it was difficult for her to feel any emotional ripples.
Everything in the world is subject to cause and effect. Chu Mingfeng's current situation may be the retribution for his past evil deeds.
Just as her mind was drifting away, the phone rang suddenly, interrupting her thoughts.
The words "Zhao Qing" flashed on the screen. She gently pressed the answer button, and Zhao Qing's gentle but anxious voice came through: "Chu Chu, how are you now? Is everything okay?"
Chu Chu raised a faint smile and tried to make her voice sound relaxed: "I'm fine, don't worry. There's dinner prepared at home, the drinks are chilled in the refrigerator, and the takeout will be delivered soon. I expect to be home in ten minutes."
Zhao Qing was obviously relieved after hearing this, and her tone was full of anticipation: "That's good, we'll wait for you to have dinner together."
After hanging up the phone, Chuchu said again: "I'll call my second brother. He may be able to handle your matter. In this family, he remembers old ties the most."
