"Father...Father?"
Su Qing gripped the phone tightly, her fingers turning white from the force.
Her eyes were red and her voice was trembling a little.
Although she was very familiar with this voice and would never forget it, she hadn't heard it for many years.
She couldn't believe it and wanted to confirm it.
"It's me."
A man's voice came from the receiver again.
Click, click…
Hearing this familiar voice, Su Qing couldn't hold back any longer, and tears rolled down her cheeks like beads falling from a broken string.
It’s father, it’s really him!
"Father……"
Su Qing's emotions collapsed in an instant and she burst into tears.
She usually manages her emotions well and rarely loses her temper like this. The last time she did so was when she knew her eldest brother had passed away.
At that time, she fainted from crying and became seriously ill.
And now, her father who had been missing for many years suddenly called her. One can imagine how she felt.
It's not that she hasn't cried before, but she has never cried in front of others.
Many nights, she would cry because she missed her parents, but they were just tears.
I rarely cry like I do now.
Over the years, her elder brother joined the army and she lived with her younger sister. Later, in order to crack the code book left by her parents, she went abroad to study...
She has endured too much pressure, which is not something she should have to endure at her age.
At least, in front of her younger sister Su Xiaomeng, she, as an older sister, has to hold up the sky for her.
"Xiaoqing... stop crying."
In the receiver, Su Shiming's voice sounded a little guilty.
"I have let you down all these years..."
“Wuwuwu…”
After listening to her father's words, Su Qing became even more emotional and cried even louder.
She felt aggrieved, but more importantly, she was excited to receive the call.
My father called. Is he going to meet her soon?
At least, he is no longer hiding and no one knows whether he is alive or dead.
"Xiaoqing, stop crying... Where are you? Is there anyone around?"
Su Shiming asked.
"I...I'm in the lab, there's no one around, just...I'm alone."
Su Qing sobbed and spoke intermittently.
"Oh, Xiaoqing, don't cry. I'm sorry. It's your father who is sorry for you..."
Su Shiming coaxed Su Qing, still with a guilty tone.
"I shouldn't have stayed away from you for so many years..."
Hearing Su Shiming mention "so many years", Su Qing felt even more aggrieved, and her tears rolled down more, but her crying became softer.
"Xiaoqing, I'm back. We will be able to meet soon as father and daughter."
Su Shiming said again.
"Father, have you returned to Longhai? Where are you?"
Su Qing wiped her tears, calmed herself down, and asked.
"Well, I just arrived in Longhai, in a house I bought before."
Su Shiming replied.
"Why don't you come to Xiao's Manor?"
Su Qing asked.
"I am not fit to appear in public right now."
Su Shiming said in a deep voice.
"Then...give me the address and I'll come find you."
Su Qing said hurriedly.
"I miss you, I want to see you."
"Xiaoqing, I called you just for this matter."
Su Shiming's voice was a little gentler.
"I miss you and Xiaomeng, too. I want to see you too..."
"Then I'll take Xiao Meng over there."
Su Qing wiped her tears again, feeling excited. Are they finally going to meet?
"good."
Su Shiming agreed.
"But you can't tell anyone about my return, understand?"
"Can't tell anyone?"
Su Qing was stunned, then thought of her father's situation and nodded quickly.
"Okay, I won't tell you."
"Including Xiao Chen."
Su Shiming emphasized.
"What? You can't even tell Xiao Chen?"
Su Qing frowned slightly. In her mind, 'anyone' obviously did not include Xiao Chen.
She believed in Xiao Chen, just as she believed in herself.
"Yes, I can't tell you, otherwise I will be in danger."
Su Shiming said seriously.
"But father..."
Su Qing wanted to say something.
"Xiao Qing, you have to promise me that this is not only about my safety, but also about your mother's safety..."
Su Shiming interrupted Su Qing.
"Otherwise, we will disappear first... At this time, the only people I can trust are you two sisters."
"No, I want to see you!"
When Su Qing heard this, she quickly agreed.
"Okay, I won't tell you."
"Well, I'll be waiting for you at Haifu Mountain at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Su Shiming said slowly.
"Haifu Mountain..."
Su Qing's heart trembled. Is this elder brother's grave?
But think about it, my father had known that my eldest brother was gone a long time ago, and he had been to Haifu Mountain to visit him many times.
Now, it is very meaningful that the place where the three people meet is Haifu Mountain.
The father and his two daughters haven't seen each other for many years. This is the first time they meet, and the eldest brother should be there as well.
"Yes, Haifu Mountain, nine o'clock."
After Su Shiming finished speaking, he gave another reminder.
"Xiao Qing, don't tell Xiao Meng yet, lest she let it slip or others notice something unusual."
"I understand, father."
Su Qing agreed.
"That's it for now. Tomorrow... we can meet as father and daughter."
Su Shiming chuckled.
"Uh-huh."
Su Qing nodded.
"Yes, we can meet tomorrow... By the way, father, where is my mother?"
"She's in a safe place. I'll tell you in detail when I see you tomorrow."
Su Shiming said.
"good."
When Su Qing heard her father say this, she felt relieved.
“I’m really glad you contacted me…”
"Well, I'm sorry for putting you through so much trouble these years... I won't say much, see you tomorrow."
Su Shiming said slowly.
"Mark my words, don't tell anyone."
"I understand, father."
Su Qing nodded.
"That's it for now, see you tomorrow."
After Su Shiming finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Beep, beep, beep…
Su Qing listened to the beeping sound and felt like she was dreaming.
These days, she has been very worried about her parents' safety, but she didn't show it in order not to put too much pressure on Xiao Chen.
Now that she received the call from her father, the tension in her heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and the hand holding the phone slowly fell from her ear.
She looked at the phone in her hand and her eyes turned red again. She was not dreaming, it was really her father calling.
"hehe……"
Thinking about meeting her father whom she hadn't seen for many years tomorrow, Su Qing smiled, and as she smiled, tears began to flow.
Finally I get to see it.
After a few minutes, Su Qing's emotions finally stabilized.
She put down her phone, thought of something, squatted down and picked up the glass fragments on the ground.
"How should I tell Xiao Meng...I can't tell Xiao Chen."
Su Qing had many thoughts flashing through her mind. What should she say?
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain and retracted her hand, showing a bit of pain.
She was so focused on her thoughts that she didn't pay any attention to her hands, and her fingers were cut by broken glass.
“Hmm…”
Su Qing raised her hand and saw a small cut on her finger, with blood flowing out.
However, she didn't care too much about it. The liquid in the test tube was not poisonous and it was just a minor injury.
"My heart is in turmoil..."
Su Qing looked at the blood on her hands and chuckled.
Compared to the joy of seeing my father, these little injuries and pains are nothing.
She stood up, opened the medicine box, disinfected it briefly, and put on a Band-Aid.
After treating the wound, she calmed down a lot. She cleaned up the glass fragments on the ground and prepared to continue working.
But even if she calmed down, she still couldn't concentrate on her work. All she could think about was her parents and the meeting tomorrow.
"Hai Fushan...Brother, you will be very happy to see us meet, right?"
Su Qing whispered to herself, it would be great if elder brother were still alive.
Unfortunately, he is gone.
…
In the Xiao family manor, Xiao Chen was still chatting with Selro and Lance.
Selro also trusted Xiao Chen and told him what their Dark Church would do next.
Especially since he is in charge of China, if there is anything he can't handle, he also hopes that Xiao Chen can help him.
"Don't worry, as long as you call, I will definitely rush over as soon as possible."
Xiao Chen looked at Selro and said seriously.
"As we Chinese say, even if it's a sea of fire and a mountain of swords, I won't blink an eye."
"Good brother..."
Selro was touched.
Next to him, Lance was also moved. Selro was really lucky to have met Xiao Chen.
Not to mention anything else, just based on Xiao Chen, Arthur would also consider Selro more when choosing a successor.
Connections are also a form of strength.
"When I needed help, you and Lance went to the Us Mountains. If you need help, I will be there."
Xiao Chen's words came from the heart.
Now, he is increasingly recognizing Selro, which is completely different from their previous conflicts of interest.
"Xiao, it is my honor and luck to meet you."
Selro looked at Xiao Chen, his heart filled with gratitude.
If it weren't for Xiao Chen, he wouldn't have obtained the Black Blood Wand, let alone the Dark Heritage.
Not only did his strength increase, but his status in his father's eyes also became higher and higher.
The most important thing is... Xiao Chen saved his life!
"Haha, there's no need to talk about this between brothers."
Xiao Chen smiled and waved his hand.
"You're leaving tomorrow afternoon, right? I'll take you to the airport."
"good."
Selro didn't refuse. After all, he was a good brother. If he did, it would be hypocritical.
"Xiao, after I leave here, I will continue to have people investigate the whereabouts of 'Su'. Once there is any news, I will tell you as soon as possible."
"Haha, okay."
Xiao Chen nodded. The Dark Church’s intelligence network should be quite powerful.
Although my stepfather-in-law may be in China, my mother-in-law may not be.
Therefore, with the help of the Dark Church, maybe we can really find out something.
After chatting for a while, Selro and Lance left.
"The drama between the Dark Church and the Light Church has just begun... However, with the formidable enemy of Heaven Beyond Heaven, is this considered internal friction?"
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and muttered.
But if you think about it again, this thing really cannot be stopped and cannot be stopped.
The Dark Church and the Light Church are not the werewolf clan and the blood clan... He is the Wolf King, his maid is the Blood Queen, and he has the final say.
As for the Dark Church...even if they have some friendship with him, they will never listen to him.
What's more... he has a grudge against the Holy See of Light!
