Chapter 968: This Little Imp Is As Bad As His Dad
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Shinian said, “So it’s true.”
Black Eagle’s eyes shifted. It turned out that he was stumped by a kid.
He shook his head and couldn’t help but admit defeat.
Black Eagle cocked his head to one side, motioning for Gu Shinian to follow him.
Inside, he looked at Gu Shinian and asked, “What exactly do you want?”
Gu Shinian said, “Since you are Yunyun’s dad, why don’t you acknowledge her?”
Black Eagle paused and looked down at Gu Shinian. “Niannian, you’re too young to understand…”
“Yes, I’m still young and don’t understand why you adults have to make things so complicated. I only know that it’s New Year’s Day today and Yunyun also wishes for a father to spend the new year with her but she doesn’t even know that her father is right beside her and spending another New Year without her father means yet another disappointing day.”
“…”
Hearing this made Black Eagle’s heart ache a little.
But then, he looked at this child.
“Ha. You’re so young but you already know how to talk.”
Using such a straightforward means to hit the most sensitive nerves of others. This kid was going to be formidable.
Gu Shinian said, “I’m only stating facts.”
Black Eagle sighed. He thought of Mu Feiran and Yunyun.
He said, “Okay, fine. I’m going to go find Yunyun now and spend New Year’s with her. What do you say?”
“Of course, that’s good but what’s the point if you don’t tell her that you’re her dad?”
“I really can’t do that,” Black Eagle said. “I have my own plans and if they know about it now, I’m afraid… Your Aunt Feiran won’t even let me come close to Yunyun anymore.”
“Why?” Gu Shinian asked curiously.
Black Eagle shook his head and said, “You’re a quick learner, but your mind is still that of a child’s. Some things are just complicated beyond your imagination. Alright, just wait here.”
“Hey, I ran away from home. You can’t tell my parents. Otherwise, I’ll tell Yunyun.”
Black Eagle looked at this child and thought that he was really unlucky to meet this little imp today.
He asked, “Can you not implicate me in your running away from home?”
Gu Shinian said, “It’s all because you’re my uncle.”
Black Eagle had no other choice. He really wanted to bash and scold this extraordinary kid and toss him out, but offending this little genius would not be good.
Black Eagle thought that he had to come up with a way to let someone know Gu Shinian was here. As long as Gu Jingze knew, that would solve the problem.
Before Black Eagle went out, he instructed his subordinates, “Take good care of him. If even a scratch gets onto him, you can forget about your life. Your entire family will be implicated too.”
With such a harsh warning, the faces of all the subordinates turned pale. They quickly nodded and said dutifully, “Whatever your instructions, Boss, we will do our best.”
With that, Black Eagle left.
After that, Black Eagle specially mobilized his men to surround the entire club and closed its doors. No one else was allowed to enter the club and the atmosphere became so intense. One would wonder just how important or dangerous this child was that the boss would hold him of high importance.
Unbeknownst to them, Black Eagle intentionally made it this way so that it would gain attention quickly.
On the other side.
Sure enough, Gu Jingze had searched almost the entire B City.
Lin Che was also anxious.
Naturally, Gu Jingze also thought of asking Black Eagle for help.
For this situation, Black Eagle would be the best option as there were more hidden roads than open roads.
However, before he could contact Black Eagle, he already heard that Black Eagle left in a hurry that night. What was stranger was that he sealed his place with strict security and did not allow anyone to enter. Apparently, this only happened that night.
After Gu Jingze heard of this, he stood there and was in deep thoughts.
At this moment, Lin Che walked in and saw that Gu Jingze was deep in his thoughts. She quickly approached him and asked, “What happened?”
Gu Jingze turned around. “I think we have a clue about Niannian.”
“Really?” Lin Che’s face lit up happily.
Gu Jingze slowly explained about Black Eagle to her.
Not quite understanding it, Lin Che asked, “Why are you so sure that this has something to do with Niannian?”
“That Black Eagle is famously arrogant. Who would be worthy of such special treatment from him? Furthermore, it matches the time that Niannian went missing. Niannian probably threatened him into not telling, so he had no choice but to leave this clue to us.”
“It’s surreal…” Lin Che, of course, hoped that this was true. This meant that Niannian’s location would be known.
Thus, no matter how surreal it was, she wanted to believe it.
Gu Jingze said, “I’ll send my men to investigate. Niannian is in B City and there isn’t anybody else he can rely on besides Black Eagle. If he really ran away on his own, it’s possible that he went to find Black Eagle.”
“Yeah, okay…”
At this moment, someone from outside came in and said, “Sir, Madam, there is a lady by the name of Su Cen here for a visit. She says… she is Madam’s mother.”
Mom?
Lin Che quickly said, “I’m going out to take a look.”
Gu Jingze saw this and hastily followed after her.
Her health was not in the best condition now. He would never let her face this alone.
Outside.
Su Cen stood there, waiting quietly.
It had been a few days. Su Cen looked haggard and skinnier.
Lin Che went out to see Su Cen. “Mom…”
This was much easier than calling Lu Qinyu “Dad” because she had a mom for so many years.
Su Cen walked over. When she heard her voice, she almost cried.
She held Lin Che and said, “Little Che, I’m here to see you. Today is New Year’s Day… I wanted to see you.”
“You should have told me that you were coming. I could have sent someone to pick you up,” Lin Che said.
Su Cen shook her head.
“I have been reminiscing the past over the past few days. I went back to see the place we used to live in. I went back to my school to revisit my student life. It still feels like a dream to me but when I see you, I’m wide awake. I’m awake. I know that this is all real and I had been sleeping for too many years.”
Lin Che pursed her lips and looked down, not knowing what to say.
Su Cen said, “Little Che, Mom left you for so many years but I’m glad that you’re doing fine. I know you’re a good child. I don’t want to impede your life here either, so I’ve decided to go back to M Nation.”
Lin Che looked up. “Mom…”
Su Cen said, “I’m very relieved that you have Gu Jingze’s protection. I’m also very relieved that you have Mr. Lu to look after you. But if I remain in C Nation, I’m just a homeless person…”
“You can come and stay with me,” Lin Che said.
