HUFT Chapter 62

Chapter 62

Liang Sixu was alone, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling. The slightly yellow light flickered, and then he smiled faintly. He shouldn’t be lying in the hospital; he should be like this chandelier, illuminating other people’s lives. And those who wished they were dead and cursed him should be lying in the hospital morgue. He couldn’t be so decadent; he was Liang Sixu.

“Hahahaha, hahahaha.”

Liang Sixu lay on the hospital bed, laughing wildly even with the IV needle still in his hand. This would only make others laugh at him more. He, Liang Sixu, would always be at the top of the world, only he could laugh at others, and no one was allowed or would be allowed to mock him. No one.

The assistant waiting outside heard the laughter and couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. Why did it feel so scary? The assistant rubbed his arms, took out his phone, and started making calls, hoping someone else could come and take his shift, or at least someone to keep him company. Even though there were many doctors and nurses in the hospital, he was still very scared. It was summer, but he could feel a bone-chilling cold, pierced by the constant, wild laughter.

Liang Sixu lay in the hospital for a few days, and things were quiet for a few days. Fu Chaoyun also temporarily gained a few days of peace. Just when Fu Chaoyun thought his and Chi Nan’s fate might have run out, Liang Sixu started causing trouble again.

When Chi Nan woke up in the morning, there was a text message from an unfamiliar number on his phone.

[Do you want to know about Yu Jianguo?]

When Chi Nan saw this text message, without saying a word, he directly blacklisted and deleted it. He didn’t want to know anything about Yu Jianguo. He didn’t even want to hear those three words from anyone.

Chi Nan initially ignored the text message. About ten minutes later, another text message came in.

[Don’t you want to know what happened back then, why your father abandoned you and your mother?]

Chi Nan blacklisted. He didn’t want to know. No matter the reason, since he had abandoned them, Yu Jianguo was no longer his father, and whatever happened had nothing to do with him.

This time things quieted down for a while because Chi Nan had blacklisted the number. Liang Sixu had to change to another phone number to start sending text messages to Chi Nan.

[Don’t you want to know who your real father is?]

Chi Nan frowned when he received this text message. What did that mean? Besides the good-for-nothing Yu Jianguo, could his father be someone else?

This time, Chi Nan didn’t choose to blacklist but instead started replying to the text message.

“If you want to do something, let’s talk frankly and openly. There’s no need to beat around the bush. I don’t think I have anything you want.”

After Chi Nan sent the text message, Liang Sixu looked at the chat box and smiled.

“The fish has taken the bait.”

This was the effect he wanted; this was what he desired. Liang Sixu sent Chi Nan a text message.

[5 PM, I’ll wait for you at Meet Cafe. I’ll tell you everything you want to know.]

Chi Nan looked at this strange text message and hesitated about whether or not to go. Was it appropriate to go meet someone whose identity he didn’t even know for the sake of information that might not even be true?

While Chi Nan was hesitating, he didn’t delete the text message but instead checked the geographical location of Meet Cafe. The location was in the city center, so even if the other party wanted to do something, they wouldn’t choose to do it there. But something still felt wrong. Chi Nan suppressed the doubt in his heart and quietly waited for 5 PM to arrive. When it was 5 PM, Chi Nan finally couldn’t suppress his doubts, grabbed his keys, and chose to go to Meet Cafe.

Chi Nan took a taxi to Meet Cafe. When he arrived, it was already almost 5:30. Chi Nan didn’t know if the person who had texted him was still there. Chi Nan walked into the cafe. There were quite a few customers inside. Chi Nan found a seat by the window and sat down.

After he sat down, a waiter came to ask Chi Nan what he would like to drink. Chi Nan ordered something at random. Just as the coffee was brought over, Chi Nan noticed someone wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask come in. They didn’t even observe the surrounding environment and walked straight towards Chi Nan. Because this person was too strange, Chi Nan noticed them the moment they appeared.

The person in the trench coat sat directly across from Chi Nan. Chi Nan looked at the other person’s figure, which was a bit thin. Although it was covered tightly by the trench coat, and he couldn’t see their appearance, he could sense that the person was up to no good.

“Did you text me and ask me to come out?”

Chi Nan took the lead in breaking the silence.

“Yes.”

Chi Nan thought the other person’s voice sounded somewhat familiar. He racked his brains, but couldn’t figure out who it was.

“What do you want to do? I don’t think I have anything you want.”

Chi Nan’s right hand consciously rubbed the wall of the coffee cup. It was a little hot, but bearable. Chi Nan directly opened the window and spoke frankly. Bringing him to this kind of place, they definitely wanted to get something from him.

Unexpectedly, the person in the trench coat spoke in the next second.

“This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s go somewhere else.”

“Before we go somewhere else, you should tell me who you are. Otherwise, why should I trust you?”

After Chi Nan finished speaking, he could feel the other person chuckle softly, as if they had known that Chi Nan wouldn’t cooperate so easily and had even thought of a strategy if Chi Nan didn’t come.

Chi Nan saw the person in the trench coat take a photo out of their pocket. The photo was initially placed face down on the table. Chi Nan couldn’t see the contents. The person in the trench coat reached out and pushed the photo forward, signaling Chi Nan to pick up the photo and take a look.

Chi Nan noticed that the person in the trench coat’s knuckles were thin and wondered why they had a photo. It was obvious that they had come prepared. Chi Nan picked up the photo from the table, glanced at it, and immediately put the photo down again. His expression also became tense.

“What do you want to do?”

“Come with me.”

Chi Nan clenched the photo tightly in both hands. After the person in the trench coat stood up, Chi Nan gripped the photo in his hand and could only follow the person in the trench coat out of the cafe. After they left the cafe, Chi Nan followed the person in the trench coat, turning left and right until they found a car parked in a small alley. During this time, Chi Nan tried to memorize the terrain.

Chi Nan kept a bit of distance from the person in the trench coat while walking on the road. He knew that the other party had come prepared, while he had no preparation at all, so he wanted to secretly dial his phone. But ever since he left the house, he had noticed someone following them, not too close and not too far, following Chi Nan ever since Chi Nan left the cafe.

Chi Nan guessed that this might be their plan B. If Chi Nan didn’t cooperate, he would be forcibly taken away. Because someone was following behind him, Chi Nan didn’t dare to act rashly or make any small moves. Chi Nan followed the person in the trench coat into a car parked on the side of the road, not knowing where they were going.
