Then I listened carefully to their conversation, and when I heard Bai Yu say that he was the illegitimate son of the Bai family, I couldn't help but want to take another look...
But when I looked up this time, the shorter one suddenly looked in my direction…
"Did he see you?" Xu Qingyan seemed to feel the tension herself, her hands unconsciously clenching...
"I saw it. I didn't have time to hide properly..." Xu Qiang shook his head.
"Did he report you? Did he tell Bai Yi?" Xu Qingyan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat at the thought of that scene...
"No... he just smiled at me..."
Xu Qiang recalled that scene; he was so nervous he broke out in a cold sweat, but that person gave him that smile…
Even now, when Xu Qiang thinks about it, he still feels a deep unease rising from the bottom of his heart...
"Huh? Why is he smiling at you?" Xu Qingyan was a little confused by the sudden turn of events.
"To this day, I still don't understand his smile..."
Well...
It's really strange...
It was as if he had seen through everything about me...
Moreover, although that smile was very open and natural, it still makes me feel very uncomfortable whenever I think about it to this day…
Xu Qiang twitched his fingers slightly, as if that uneasy feeling was returning to him...
Xu Qingyan was utterly astonished that a single smile could have made his father uncomfortable for so many years. Who exactly was this person?
It seems like something really complicated!
Xu Qingyan then thought of what Xu Qiang had just said, "Since you've been thinking about his smile all these years, why did you just say you don't remember what he looks like?"
Xu Qiang himself found it somewhat unbelievable, as he was not someone with a bad memory.
On the contrary, he has a very good memory; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to recount the details of events from so many years ago so clearly.
He tried hard to recall for a long time, but still shook his head, "I really don't remember..."
I've only seen him once in all these years...
All my memories of him are in that smile; I really can't remember anything else..."
Xu Qingyan was becoming increasingly curious about this person. "From what you're saying, even though Bai Yu was the one who led the group, this person is the one who impressed you the most!"
"Yes! This is something I've never been able to understand for so many years. It's clear that Ming Yu is the real power holder, but in my heart..."
But I've always been wary of a short guy who used to be by his side..."
"Do you know this short man's name?" Xu Qingyan didn't know why, but he was just very curious about this person...
“I don’t know…” Xu Qingyan shook his head, “For so many years I’ve dealt directly with Bai Yu, and I haven’t seen him since that incident…”
Even... all these years...
I haven't heard a single word about him since..."
"Is...is he dead?" Xu Qingyan's heart tightened...
"It's hard to say..."
But I think...
"Probably not..." Xu Qiang guessed.
Why do you think that?
"My gut feeling... he's not that simple..."
Listening to Xu Qiang's evasive tone, Xu Qingyan had no idea what the truth was.
Just as Xu Qingyan was speculating in his mind, Xu Qiang suddenly shouted excitedly.
"I remember now!"...
