HUFT Chapter 64

Chapter 64

The car drove bumpily all the way to a wharf. Chi Nan didn’t know where this was, but then he saw a rusted sign that read: Bei Qiao (North Bridge).

This was Bei Qiao Wharf, a place that had been abandoned for a long time.

Chi Nan followed Su Xi out of the car and observed the surroundings of Bei Qiao. Dilapidated ships were visible everywhere, and there were many large containers of unknown purpose. There wasn’t a soul in sight.

“Let’s go. The person who really wants to see you is inside.”

After getting out of the car, Su Xi first fanned away the dust with his hand. Because this place hadn’t been visited for a long time, the dust was a thick layer. Even a slight movement would send dust flying everywhere, so after Su Xi got out of the car, he first fanned away the dust to prevent it from entering his nose and mouth.

After getting out of the car, Chi Nan followed Su Xi. His eyes darted around, and he could see many warehouses. They walked towards the innermost warehouse. During this time, Chi Nan tried to feel for his phone, but there was someone following him, so he didn’t dare to act rashly.

Su Xi led Chi Nan to a warehouse. The door of the warehouse was an electronic door, very advanced, completely out of place with the surroundings. It seemed someone had long since found the location and was just waiting for Chi Nan to come.

Su Xi lightly pressed a few numbers on the keypad, and the electric door slowly rose. At first, Chi Nan couldn’t see anything, but when the door was halfway open, Chi Nan could see a bit of what was inside. When it was fully open, Chi Nan saw Yu Jianguo, completely collapsed on the ground, his hands and feet tied with ropes, unable to move.

“Let’s go.”

Su Xi was in front, and Chi Nan followed behind. The two walked into the warehouse. Chi Nan stood in the warehouse, and Su Xi retreated a few steps, leaving Chi Nan alone in the middle. After waiting for a while, a figure emerged from the black shadows, accompanied by a voice.

“Chi Nan, do you like this gift I gave you?”

Liang Sixu’s hand was still wrapped in bandages. He walked towards Chi Nan step by step. Liang Sixu stopped two steps away from Chi Nan and just looked at him, as if looking at a loser.

“Liang Sixu?”

Chi Nan didn’t expect it to be Liang Sixu. In his impression, he and Liang Sixu didn’t have any deep hatred, only some entertainment industry tactics that weren’t worth mentioning. But did that require such a big display? If people found out, would Liang Sixu still want to stay in the industry?

“It’s me. Unexpected, huh?”

Liang Sixu seemed very proud. He turned around, raised his hands, and let Chi Nan see the warehouse, all Liang Sixu’s masterpiece.

“This, all of this is mine, all of it is what I’m giving you as a gift, including that dad of yours.”

“You went to so much trouble to bring me here, it can’t just be to show me this, right? There must be another purpose.”

“Smart.”

Hearing Chi Nan’s answer, Liang Sixu circled Chi Nan a few times, as if sizing him up, or perhaps observing him.

“So smart. No wonder Fu Chaoyun is so infatuated with you.”

“What does this have to do with Fu Chaoyun? What exactly do you want to do today? You didn’t call me here just to take a simple look at Yu Jianguo, there must be another purpose.”

“What purpose could I have?”

Liang Sixu waved his hand, walked a few steps, and sat in a rattan chair on the side, rocking it. Then, he suddenly changed his face, no longer the grinning appearance from before, but a fierce look with gritted teeth as he said to Chi Nan.

“I just want all those who look down on me to die, and I don’t want others to get what I can’t get. I want to destroy it, destroy it completely, as if it never existed in this world.”

“Chi Nan, I’ve long since seen enough of your lofty, naively innocent look. Is that how you bewitched Fu Chaoyun? And Fu Chaoyun, I’ve also had enough. Why was he born into the Fu family? Why has he always been the center of attention since birth? What makes him nobler than me? He’s embarrassed me time and time again, and I want him to taste what it’s like to be stepped on by others.”

Liang Sixu looked at Chi Nan and suddenly put on a smiling face. That smile was terrifying to the extreme, a forced smile that didn’t come from the heart.

“Liang Sixu, you’re insane.”

Chi Nan realized that Liang Sixu was in a very abnormal state of mind. A madman could do anything, so Chi Nan suspected that Liang Sixu was serious about what he had said, that he really dared to do it. He had already committed kidnapping, what else couldn’t Liang Sixu do? To appease Liang Sixu’s temper, for fear that he would do something drastic, Chi Nan kept agreeing with Liang Sixu’s words.

“Family background, talent, what else are you not satisfied with? Why do you have to get others to recognize you?”

“Family background? Hehehehehe.”

“Family background? You mention the Liang family to me, that Liang family that has no humanity, that only knows how to use their children as tools to make money. Do you know how I lived when I was a child? Every day, I lived thinking I had to be good to Fu Chaoyun, I had to have a good relationship with Fu Chaoyun, so I could live a little better in the Liang family. You see me all bright and beautiful every day, but I’m not even as good as a dog in the Liang family. It was hard enough to have a slightly good relationship with Fu Chaoyun, and the Liang family valued me a little more, but what happened? After my affairs were exposed, I was sent abroad. Three years, the Liang family took care of me for only three years. Do you know how I lived abroad for the remaining ten years? A child in his teens, thrown abroad alone, that’s the Liang family.”

Liang Sixu spoke excitedly. The thought of those worthless people in the Liang family made him miserable, wishing all of them would die. Because he was too excited, Liang Sixu directly smashed the cup on the table next to him on the ground. The glass shattered instantly, scattering everywhere. Some of the glass shards bounced right next to Chi Nan’s feet. Chi Nan noticed a larger shard and wanted to pick it up while Liang Sixu wasn’t paying attention, so he tried to attract Liang Sixu’s attention.

“So you hate the Liang family, and Fu Chaoyun, what does it have to do with me?”

“It has nothing to do with you. I just simply don’t want to, don’t like it. I should have liked Chaoyun, but he likes you. I want him to like me, but he doesn’t like me, so I can only use magic to make you disappear, and then go find Chaoyun. If he doesn’t change his mind, I’ll make him disappear too.”

After Liang Sixu finished speaking, his fingers were still drawing circles in the air, as if he really had magic that could make people disappear in an instant.

“Liang Sixu, do you know that doing this is against the law? Even if we really disappear, what awaits you is imprisonment.”

“I won’t go to jail. See that wharf? When the time comes, I’ll just jump down. I, Liang Sixu, won’t go to jail. I’ll be with the sea, with fish as companions, with blue skies and white clouds playing music to see me off.”

Liang Sixu emphasized the last two words “see me off” extremely heavily. He didn’t want to live. He wanted to drag people down with him before he died. He felt that there was nothing in this world worth him staying for.
