Chapter 5: Fight at the End of the Bed
Upstairs, Butler Li knocked on the door and shouted from the doorway, "Sir, please come downstairs for dinner."
Inside the door, Ning Che was standing in front of the window, looking at the flourishing vitality of the small garden, and secretly made up his mind that once his internal strength was full, he would immediately leave this stupid man who was full of calculations!
The voice carried the vicissitudes of life that only an elderly person could feel, yet it carried a light tone as it entered the room. Even a casual listen could sense the anticipation within it.
The voice is so familiar, so kind.
The bedroom door was opened from the inside, and Ning Che appeared at the door. His face was so superior that Fu Chengyun could see his subtle expressions even from downstairs.
He was stunned for a moment, and then whispered something tentatively.
Butler Li nodded slightly.
The temptation instantly turned into ecstasy, and those always cold eyes were filled with tears. Ning Che let the old man in and closed the door again.
Fu Chengyun: Didn’t you come out to eat? Why did you go in?
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
Fu Chengyun wondered whether he should go in and take a look, but if he went in rashly, it would seem that he did not trust Grandpa Li enough and would hurt the old man's feelings.
While they were still struggling here, the grandparents and grandchildren over there had already recognized each other and were crying with joy.
Ning Che hugged the old butler tightly, tears rolling down his cheeks. His voice was thick with nasal murmurs, but it was filled with joy. "Grandpa Li, it was so dangerous back then, your intestines were almost exposed, but you're still alive. I'm so glad you didn't die."
Grandpa Li suddenly recalled the tragic scene of his death and coughed forcefully twice. He raised his hand to wipe away Ning Che's tears and looked at him carefully. "Let's not talk about the past. Little Che has grown up and is so handsome and beautiful. Grandpa almost didn't recognize him."
Ning Che helped the old man sit on a chair and went to pour a glass of water for Grandpa Li. Suddenly, he felt aggrieved again: "Grandpa, why didn't you come to see me if you were not dead?"
"It's a long story," Grandpa Li asked, "How has Xiao Che been these past few years?"
"Very good, no one will dare to bully me anymore." Ning Che held his head high, looking proud and asking for praise. "I killed the old Lord and Xu Jia, and now I am the new Lord."
With a loud bang, the old man was so shocked that his hands shook and the cup fell to the ground.
This sound seemed like a long-awaited signal. Fu Chengyun's raised foot finally landed steadily on the ground. Unable to resist his curiosity, he jumped upstairs.
He had already thought of an excuse. He pretended to open the door normally and then urged the two of them to go downstairs for dinner.
Fu Chengyun put on a generous smile as if he had calmed down, opened the door and walked in.
Before his feet could even land, they froze in mid-air. The warm smile on his face petrified bit by bit, frozen on his face.
In the small bedroom, the air seemed to be frozen.
Inside the room, Butler Li was kneeling on the ground, his hands clasped together and raised above his head in a bow. Ning Che knelt before him, holding Butler Li's forearms with both hands, and anxiously pulled him up. "Grandpa Li, you don't have to do this."
Does everyone have to play costume games?
How much did the script-killing game pay you?
Fu Chengyun looked like he had been struck by lightning, standing there in a daze, burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
The two people in the room looked at him, their eyes met, and Fu Chengyun suddenly reacted.
Furious, he roared, "How long are you going to play this game?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed before Fu Chengyun. Before he could see who it was, he was chopped on the neck by a knife. Fu Chengyun stumbled and fell to the ground.
Ning Che rode on his waist, holding his wrists with one hand and pressing them above his head, while holding his other hand high with a fist.
Fu Chengyun exclaimed: "You are crazy!"
"I said, I will only forgive you this time." Ning Che's eyes were cold, like a cheetah ready to pounce.
Grandpa Li came up and tumbled, grabbing Ning Che's arm tightly and shouting, "Zun, that, Xiao Che! Don't!"
Fu Chengyun was captured and unable to move. Furious, he could only yell, "You little wild model! Believe it or not, I'll make you disappear from this industry!"
Ning Che paused, his lips raised high, his snake-like smile revealing an undisguised ferocity. "Alright, then let's see who disappears first!"
He punched out swiftly, his fist carrying a tremendous force. Fu Chengyun was blinded by the punch. Grandpa Li quickly stepped aside to block Fu Chengyun, shouting anxiously, "Xiao Che, Grandpa, please, stop!"
Ning Che's figure trembled, and he looked at Grandpa Li, his eyes full of confusion. "Grandpa?"
He suddenly felt aggrieved.
Despite living in a dangerous and ferocious environment, starving and constantly being plotted against by his fellow disciples, he was fortunate to have Grandpa Li, who had secretly cared for him for years, providing him with extra clothes in the winter and ice in the summer. The old and the young supported each other, and their relationship was like that of a real grandfather and grandson.
When Xu Jia threatened to kill him, Grandpa Li braved the danger and went to the devil's cave in the back mountain to rescue him. However, he himself perished at the foot of the cliff. Unfortunately, he was too weak to even build a proper grave for Grandpa.
From that moment on, Ning Che vowed to become the most powerful being. In the decades that followed, no matter how he was beaten or humiliated, or how many nights he'd endured, Ning Che would always feel grateful that God had been kind to him. Even in purgatory, he'd received a ray of the warmest light.
Such a grandfather who was so devoted to him and willing to risk his life to save others would actually plead for mercy for a medicine man from a foreign race!
I was ecstatic to have it back, but why didn't Grandpa come looking for me? Why did he devote himself to serving this bastard and even plead for him? Was I really being replaced? Did Grandpa no longer love me?
The luster in those eagle-like eyes had gone, and tears of grievance were falling.
"Grandpa, he poisoned me and disrespected me, and you still want to plead for him!"
The men loosened their grip, and Ning Che's eyes were red, and he no longer had the fierce momentum he had when he beat people. He looked as pitiful as an abandoned kitten and ran out in a daze.
Grandpa Li didn't care about Fu Chengyun's injury and chased him out the door. When he stood up, he slapped Fu Chengyun and complained, "Why did you mess with him when you had nothing to do?"
Fu Chengyun felt very aggrieved. Who offended whom?
Ning Che's two punches were merciless. Fu Chengyun felt that the pain in his eyes and neck was about to explode. His head was dizzy and his vision was black. He couldn't even stand up.
He! The eldest son of the Fu family! The ruler of the Fu Group! He could single-handedly face the covetousness of a massive family and still escape unscathed! An S-rank alpha! A figure who could call the shots in City C!
Today! I was unexpectedly beaten up by a little wild model!
Fu Chengyun was so angry that his lungs were about to explode! He immediately took out his cell phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly connected and a steady female voice came from the other end.
"Mr. Fu."
"Find all the information about the omega I'm with today, and then arrange for security to come and throw him out!"
"Okay, Mr. Fu."
As for his boss's affairs in bed, the assistant always pretends to be ignorant, never asks questions, and just does things according to the rules.
The room was silent for a few seconds. Without waiting for a reply from his boss, the assistant mechanically said, "Nothing else. I'll go take care of it first."
"Wait a minute," Fu Chengyun said, clutching his phone tightly. "Don't let the security come."
The wedding was just a couple of days away, the media was already hyping it up, and Fu Chen had also made some moves. He didn't want to make any mistakes on this particular occasion, so he had no choice but to swallow his pride.
"Okay, Mr. Fu!"
After hanging up the phone, Fu Chengyun threw away his phone and lay on the ground.
With the escape of the culprit, the tension disappeared completely, and the room returned to its usual silence, with only the ticking of the wall clock remaining in the silence.
Fu Chengyun let out a long sigh, the lingering rose fragrance in the air seeping into his lungs. The image of that person involuntarily appeared before his eyes.
The mocking smile when he teased Lizi in front of others, the cold sneer when he asked questions to me, and the murderous grin when he rode on me.
Who gave him the capital to be so evil and arrogant? You little wild fox! I will keep feeding you!
Fu Chengyun thought he might have some "m" traits, but just by smelling his pheromones, his anger subsided. He stumbled to his feet and walked out of the bedroom.
On the other side of the door, Ning Che was squatting in the corner of the guest room, his face buried in his knees, curled up into a ball.
Butler Li squatted in front of him and coaxed him softly, "I can't believe Xiao Che has become the new Lord. Grandpa is so happy. He will never be bullied again."
"Yes!" Ning Che said sullenly, not even looking up. "It was that medicine man who bullied me. And Grandpa was biased towards him! You just thought he was perfect and didn't want to go back. You cruelly left me alone and didn't care about me anymore."
Every word is full of gems, and it is tearful, but the poor thing seems to be broken at the slightest touch.
Butler Li patted Ning Che's head. "It's not that I don't want to go back, it's just that I can't. I was in this body the moment I opened my eyes. But luckily, this body looks exactly like me, so Xiao Che can still recognize Grandpa."
Ning Che raised his eyes, tears still on his face, and asked blankly, "Can't go back?"
Butler Li nodded and continued, "We've tried every possible method, but there's no going back."
"What about me?"
"You too." Steward Li sat on the ground and wiped the tears from Ning Che's face. He sighed and said, "This is not what you call an alien race. This is another world."
Ning Che suddenly felt a surge of irreversible fear. He clenched Butler Li's hand and asked, "But I just eliminated the dissidents. All my efforts of over a decade have gone to waste just like that?"
Butler Li naturally understood him. In a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, if he wanted to carve out a bloody path for himself, he would surely leave behind countless bones. Although this child was cruel and ruthless, he was also forced by the situation. If you don't kill people, they will kill you.
Now that he is in a high position, he must have gone through endless torture and pain.
Steward Li patted Ning Che's shoulder and comforted him, "Grandpa naturally understands you. But since you've come to this world, it's fate. Remember not to indulge in memories and become unable to extricate yourself. Find a place to settle down first, and then make long-term plans. That's the best strategy."
Ning Che lowered his head in silence, his fingers unconsciously drawing circles on the carpet, repeating in his mouth: "A place to settle down."
The cashmere carpet was dotted with spots of light, and Ning Che followed the light and shadows out the window. A small garden connected to the guest room, filled with lush greenery and flowers. The lush branches swayed in the breeze, releasing their vitality in the warm midday sun.
"A place to settle down." Ning Che repeated.
He gripped Butler Li's arm tightly and smiled. "God has been kind to me. No sect, no matter how great, can compare to having Grandpa by my side."
"Since it is God's will, let's just go with the flow."
