935 The Past is a Mystery
Yao Tang felt that this was something that her grandparents would do. She took a deep breath.
“Do you believe me now?”
“At that time, we really had no other choice. This was—what you’d say our Hail Mary pass. What we didn’t expect was for them to be extremely good at what they do. The time they left was the time the power of our formation had recovered. They’re the reason why we didn’t suffer from any more unnecessary deaths.”
There was a sense of disappointment in her heart. “And what year was this? Where did they go after that?”!!
“I…”
“Don’t worry,” she quickly said. “The only reason I’m looking for them is due to my illness. It was something I’ve developed since I was born. Even the best doctors said that I wouldn’t live past twenty, and now that I’m eighteen…I only have two years left to live.” She sighed deeply, much to the amusement of her friends.
While Yao Tang looked as if her entire life savings had been taken from her, Cheng Yan appeared helpless while her other friends were struggling to hide their laughter.
“But…” Xiao Biao hesitated. “That was ten years ago. I didn’t know where they ahd gone after that.”
Ten years ago. That was also the time they had left. While she didn’t know where they had gone after that, at the very least she had something to hold onto.
“Since that’s the will of the heavens, I can only leave it up to them.” Yao Tang gazed on the foor.
Cheng Yan placed a hand on her shoulder.
“However, we’ve never even offended any of you, so why does the Head of the Yu Family want to kill us?” Lin Xin demanded, glaring at Yu Shu who was being helped up by Yu Chen.
“Oh please, as if you don’t know!”
“Grandpa!”
“Fine! The Yu and the Cheng Family had a blood feud.” Yu Chu finally looked up, glaring at the other young man with hatred in his eyes.
Cheng Yan simply raised his eyebrows.
“This is the first time I’ve ever met you. Why would I hate you?”
“Oh please! You may not hate me, but I’ll still make sure that your grandmother will pay for her blood!” Cheng Fang—just the name of his grandmother was enough to make his blood boil.
“You can try.”
This time, Cheng Yan’s eyes narrowed. The tension between them thickened once again as a dark aura filled the room.
Xiao Biao sighed, waving his hands up in the air. “Both of you, calm down! We still don’t know whether or not Cheng Fang was behind this, okay? Can we all just stop with this nonsense?”
“Hmph!” Yu Shu turned his face to the side, not willing to say anything more.
Cheng Yan sneered. “I may not know what grudges you have, but I know my grandmother. She would never do anything to do harm unto others. If there’s been a misunderstanding, then I would gladly clear her name. However, if you insist on her paying it with her blood—”
“Then don’t blame me for being merciless.”
His face was as cool as ice. His grandmother may not be kind, but she was fair.
He would never allow anyone to sully her name.
“Just let them go!” Yu Shu snapped.
Xiao Biao let out a long sigh and shook his head. He stood up straight and saluted them.
“Fine.”
On the private plane, Yao Tang couldn’t help but gaze at the man in front of her. He was leisurely drinking tea, leaning back against the leather seat. The afternoon sun shone across his face, making him appear as if he was dazzling.
He was quite handsome, yet he appeared so casual—far from the intimidating appearance that everyone thought he had.
Unknowingly, Yao Tang was so lost in her thoughts. She had only looked away when she noticed Cheng Yan’s amused gaze.
“You can look at me for as long as you want. I won’t charge,” he teased good-heartedly.
