GLIHBN Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Where Did You Hide Him?

That night, to reassure Su Shi, Chi Ye bought him a plane ticket for the day after tomorrow to return to West Hangzhou.

The next morning, Chi Xiangqin suddenly asked Chi Ye to accompany him on a visit to an old friend’s house.

Chi Ye couldn’t go to see Su Shi, but he sent Su Shi messages whenever he had a free moment:

[Are you awake? Remember to eat breakfast]

[Still not up?]

[Send me a message when you wake up]

However, Su Shi didn’t get up until after ten o’clock and only replied to Chi Ye once:

[I’m still very sleepy]

Thinking that Su Shi was worried about being caught by Xu Chongming last night, Chi Ye told Su Shi to continue sleeping.

Chi Xiangqin and his old friend had something to discuss in the inner room, and Chi Ye stayed with the younger generation of this family.

Several young people were organizing a game together, but Chi Ye had no interest at all.

Several people tried to persuade Chi Ye to join, one of them said, “Chi Ye, come play with us, I’ll guide you, it’s a lot of fun.”

Another person said, “Exactly, we have so much time anyway. This afternoon, my grandfather and your grandfather have agreed to play chess for three hundred rounds.”

Chi Ye raised an eyebrow. “How do you know?” Before they came, Chi Xiangqin hadn’t mentioned how long they would stay, only that he wanted Chi Ye to stay by his side.

The other party replied, “I just ran into your family’s housekeeper, and he said so.”

The two old men hadn’t come out of the inner room yet. Chi Ye was pulled outside to play ball by the younger generation of the family. He found an opportunity to slip away, promising them some benefits to keep it a secret from the adults.

Su Shi was returning tomorrow, and Chi Xiangqin was watching him too closely. If he didn’t see him once more, he would have to wait until school started again.

Moreover, Chi Ye already felt guilty for making Su Shi stay alone in a hotel room here.

[I’m coming to find you now] Chi Ye got into the car and sent a message to Su Shi.

After a while, Su Shi replied: [Come later]

Chi Ye: [Why]

Su Shi: [Wait for my signal, be good]

Chi Ye: [So mysterious]

Although he didn’t quite understand, Chi Ye obediently sat in the car waiting for Su Shi’s message.

After waiting for who knows how long, he couldn’t help but call Su Shi, but Su Shi didn’t answer. He sent another message:

[What are you doing?]

Su Shi: [Just taking a shower]

Chi Ye: [Didn’t you shower last night?]

Su Shi: [I wanted to]

Chi Ye felt something was strange: [Let’s video call, let me see you]

Su Shi: [Later, I have something to deal with]

Chi Ye thought he had work or family matters to attend to: [Okay, I’ll wait for you]

Holding his phone, he still felt uneasy, and Chi Ye sent another message: [Wife]

It took two minutes for the other side to reply: [Mmm]

Chi Ye’s heart suddenly trembled. He started the car, stepped on the gas, and turned the steering wheel in one smooth motion, sending the car flying out.

Su Shi would always bristle whenever he heard Chi Ye call him “wife,” how could he agree so easily? This was too abnormal.

Chi Ye’s heart pounded wildly, and all sorts of crazy ideas flooded his mind.

Chi Xiangqin and the housekeeper were both here, so nothing should happen to Su Shi.

By the time the car stopped at the five-star hotel where Su Shi was staying, more than half an hour had passed.

Chi Ye rushed into the hotel lobby.

A security guard saw this person running so fast and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by the lobby manager with a look.

Chi Ye had been here several times and was a familiar face, a guest of the hotel.

Arriving at Su Shi’s room, Chi Ye took out his room card and swiped it open. The room was empty, and Su Shi’s belongings were still neatly in place.

Chi Ye hurriedly called, but Su Shi still didn’t answer.

Chi Ye had no choice but to send another message: [Wife, where are you?]

The other side replied quickly: [At the hotel, I’ll find you later, I have something to do right now]

Chi Ye’s forehead began to sweat. There was no one in the room, but Su Shi said he was at the hotel.

Chi Ye thought for a moment and called Xu Chongming to ask if he was playing tricks, but Xu Chongming was completely confused.

Then he reacted in shock, his voice instantly rising, “Are you saying Su Shi is missing, but someone is replying to messages, saying he’s at the hotel?”

Chi Ye ignored him, hung up the phone, ran downstairs to the lobby, and said anxiously, “Please check if the guest in room 1206 has gone out?”

The receptionist said she couldn’t check that unless she looked at the surveillance footage.

At this moment, another receptionist nearby said, “1206, Mr. Su, right?”

Chi Ye nodded hastily.

“When Mr. Su went out just now, I asked him, and he said he had an appointment and was going out for a bit.” The receptionist looked at the watch on her wrist. “It was around eleven o’clock, about three hours ago.”

Su Shi didn’t know anyone here. Xu Chongming, the only one he knew, said he hadn’t seen Su Shi. So, who else was there?

This receptionist remembered something and added, “He seemed to have left in a taxi.”

Chi Ye nodded to her and hurried outside.

The two receptionists couldn’t help but discuss it. One said, “That’s Mr. Su’s boyfriend, right? So anxious, it’s only been three hours.”

The other said, “What do you know? A day apart feels like three autumns, and three hours apart feels like three years.”

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, “Silly lovers.”

Chi Ye rushed into the Chi family mansion and, as expected, saw Chi Xiangqin at home, who should have been at someone else’s house. He was panting heavily, staring straight at the other man.

Chi Ye knew how to slip away, and Chi Xiangqin knew how to create a smokescreen. The grandfather and grandson had once again outsmarted each other.

Chi Xiangqin tapped the ground with his cane in displeasure, saying, “Why are you so rash and flustered?”

Chi Ye clenched his fists, stood a few steps away from Chi Xiangqin, and said in a cold voice, “Where is Su Shi? Where did you hide Su Shi?”

This was the first time Chi Ye had spoken to Chi Xiangqin in such a disrespectful tone, and Chi Xiangqin was furious.

“I was just about to ask you. Didn’t you break up with that man? You are so audacious, daring to be outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.”

“Grandfather, you can punish me however you want,” Chi Ye said in a deep voice, “but I need to see Su Shi immediately.”

Although Chi Xiangqin was sitting, his aura was strong, and his eyes were sinister.

“That’s right, I did go to see him at noon. As for where he went after I left, how would I know?”

“He went out to see you and hasn’t come back, and you’re saying you don’t know?” Chi Ye’s eyes widened in anger.

“I did want to secretly get rid of him behind your back, since you refuse to break up with him. So, I started with him. But that Su is stubborn and incorruptible, and even said he truly loves you. How ridiculous!”

Chi Ye’s eyes were bloodshot, and hearing these words, he became even more furious, shouting at Chi Xiangqin, “Where exactly did you hide him?”

In his desperation, he overturned a vase on the table, and with a loud crash, the vase shattered, porcelain shards scattered all over the floor, and the water from the vase spilled everywhere.

Chi Xiangqin stood up tremblingly, pointed at Chi Ye, and roared, “Chi Ye, watch your attitude!”

After his rage, Chi Ye finally calmed down. “One sentence, return Su Shi to me, or…”

Chi Ye turned on his phone, held it up to Chi Xiangqin’s eyes, swiped a few times to make sure Chi Xiangqin saw it clearly, and continued,

“Otherwise, all your lifelong efforts will be in vain.”
