Han Fei lowered his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
After returning, Han Chengliu indeed discovered the truth: Xiao Qi, just as he had guessed, was not dead.
That mangled corpse might have been a false rumor spread by Kelly, hoping to get Han Chengliu to stop investigating Xiaoqi's whereabouts, or... it might have been a false rumor spread by Xiaoqi herself.
Han Fei tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, his lips pressed into a straight line as he pondered.
Xiao Liu and Xiao Lao San exchanged a glance but did not disturb their grandfather.
Time passed slowly, and after a long fifteen minutes, Han Fei stopped tapping his fingers.
He looked at Xiao Liu thoughtfully: "If you hear Han Chengliu say anything to you again in the future, let me know immediately."
"Grandpa, that person... is that really me after I grew up? Is it Han Chengliu?"
Han Fei did not hide anything and nodded.
The third brother took a deep breath: "Little brother, you must have awakened some incredible superpower in the future, otherwise you wouldn't be able to send messages to you now!"
Xiao Liu showed no joy, his mind heavy with worry: "But... this message seems to foreshadow that Xiao Qi will encounter an accident in the future. I failed to protect my Xiao Qi."
The third brother, who had initially looked on with envy, fell silent and lowered his eyes. The thought that this ability was ultimately useless—delivering bad news ahead of time—made him feel quite depressed. After all, good news didn't require any effort to be sent back; only bad news required a great deal of effort to be transmitted.
Xiao Liu lay down beside Han Fei's legs, looking at him pitifully with his eyes: "Grandpa, can I know what danger my sister will encounter? This kind of unclear omens are of no use at all, and instead make me more anxious."
Han Fei gently ruffled the little guy's short hair; it felt nice, like a small brush brushing against his palm. He comforted him in a warm and kind voice, "With Grandpa here, Xiao Qi won't be in any danger. Don't you trust Grandpa's abilities?"
Thinking of his grandfather's miraculous, almost godlike, mysterious abilities, Xiao Liu felt relieved and rested his head on Han Fei's lap: "Grandpa, thank you..." If it weren't for his grandfather, he and his sister would definitely have been separated.
Before long, Xiao Liu was breathing evenly.
Are you asleep?
The youngest child volunteered, "Grandpa, I'll carry him back."
Han Fei nodded: "Be careful, don't upset him."
"Don't worry about me!" The third brother patted his chest, gently picked up his younger brother, and slowed his pace so that he landed silently.
Han Fei guessed that this method of transmitting sound through parallel worlds must consume a lot of Xiao Liu's mental energy, otherwise the kid wouldn't have fallen asleep so easily.
Han Fei received an invitation from Old Master Tang, who had adopted a godson.
It is said that his granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter encountered danger while they were out, and it was this young man who risked his life to save them. In order to repay the life-saving grace, Grandpa Tang decided to have his great-granddaughter recognize him as her godfather, and himself recognize him as his god-grandson.
Han Fei frowned: "So the male lead has finally appeared?"
Even though Tang Shan didn't die at the internet addiction school in this life, the male protagonist who was taken in as a grandson by Grandpa Tang still appeared.
Han Fei took out the notebook containing the contents of that book. His memory of many things was becoming increasingly hazy, and now he could only recall bits and pieces of the book's contents by relying on this notebook.
He flipped to the very top and saw the record about the male protagonist.
He leveraged Mr. Tang's influence to achieve great success in the port city.
In this life, if Tang Shan is still alive, will Old Master Tang still hand over the power of Hong Kong to him without reservation, just like in the book?
Han Fei naturally wanted to meet the male protagonist who had made his villainous grandsons suffer terribly.
In Han Fei's view, the male protagonist was the villain, the opposing villain in his life, and the one he and his grandchildren considered the most villainous.
"Eldest son, third son, fourth son, fifth son, sixth son, get ready, Grandpa will take you to the banquet for Old Tang's adopted grandson."
"Grandpa, aren't you taking my older sister and younger sister with you?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.
Han Rou and Xiao Qi stared longingly at Han Fei.
Han Fei patted Xiao Qi's head: "Be a good girl and stay home. Xiao Rou, stay home and keep your sister company."
Before figuring out the male lead's background, Han Fei didn't dare bring his granddaughter along.
Taking my grandchildren along is to let them recognize the enemy beforehand, so we can be on guard against them later.
He couldn't bring his granddaughter because he was worried that the male lead possessed some strange superpowers, such as the kind that make women fall in love at first sight. He couldn't let his granddaughter fall into the hands of this treacherous wolf!
"Grandpa, why can't you take me and my sister? Is it a place where girls can't go?" Xiaoqi asked in her childish voice.
Han Fei laughed out loud: "You even know of places girls can't go?"
Xiaoqi counted on her fingers: "There are so many, like places to sing, places to drink, places to dance... in the woods, in the cornfields, in the dark alleys..."
Han Fei asked in surprise, "Who taught you all this?"
Xiao Qi pointed at Han Rou, who looked completely calm: "My older sister taught me!"
Han Fei looked at Han Rou approvingly and nodded with a smile: "You have a strong sense of safety, so Grandpa is relieved."
As girls grow up, the dangers they face also increase.
"Grandpa didn't want to hide it from you. The reason I didn't bring Xiaorou and Xiaoqi to Old Tang's grandson recognition banquet this time is because I was worried that Xiaorou and Xiaoqi would be blinded by that boy."
"That kid? Grandpa is talking about the person that Old Master Tang wants to take as his adopted grandson?" Han Chengda became alert.
"Is that guy a heartthrob?" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, somewhat envious of such a physique. Unfortunately, his system level was too low to exchange for such a physique, and his fourth brother was unwilling to waste his points to exchange for it and give it to him, so he could only envy him.
"I haven't met him yet, and I don't know what's special about him, but it's always good to be safe than sorry," Han Fei said cautiously.
Xiaoqi tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Why were my sister and I blinded? Was it a smokescreen?"
Xiao Wu laughed: "Silly boy, he's not a smokescreen. Maybe he's a rose that women like, and he's afraid you'll pick it if you see it!"
Xiao Qi's eyes widened: "His special ability is to turn into roses?"
Xiao Wu clutched her stomach and laughed even louder: "My silly little sister, that's not how you understand it!"
Xiao Qi stamped her little feet, turned around and looked at Xiao Liu for help: "Brother, what does Fifth Brother mean?"
After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Liu finally managed to say, "He's afraid you'll start dating too early."
"Is that how you understand it?" Xiao Qi asked Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu: "..."
"Fifth brother, you're the one who's dating too early! You and Sister Xiaomei are the ones who are dating too early. I don't want to date!"
"Well!"
"I will never date when I grow up!" Xiaoqi said firmly.
Xiao Wu: "Little sister, although... but why?"
Xiao Qi snorted: "Anyway, I don't want to be in a relationship!"
Xiao Qi and Han Rou were left at home, while Han Fei, along with his five grandsons, arrived at the Tang family's gate with generous gifts.
This was a family banquet, mainly to let Mr. Tang's relatives and friends know that he had adopted a grandson, and for everyone to come and meet him.
