Chapter 991 - The Truth (1/2)
Zhou Yao’s tall body remained still for a few seconds. Then, he threw away the shovel in his hand and raised his head. He looked at Old Master Zhou and asked firmly, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Old Master Zhou was about to speak when Father Zhou said, “Zhou Yao, we know that it was hard for you to accept at the moment. But at that time, there was no other way except to evacuate. We all knew that you couldn’t accept Zhiyuan’s death. How could we tell you that Zhiyuan’s body couldn’t be brought back? We’re afraid that you’ll break down.”
“Humph,” Zhou Yao chuckled. He spread his long legs and slowly walked to the two of them. His gloomy black eyes were bloodshot. He asked word by word, “You’re not me. What right do you have to make decisions for me?”
“Zhou Yao,” Old Master Zhou frowned. “Even if we told you at that time, there’s nothing you could have done…”
“I won’t leave her alone in that place. If she died, I’ll pick her up piece by piece, even if her body is incomplete! If I can’t find her, I won’t believe that she’s dead. I’ll look for her. No matter where she is, no matter how many years have passed, I won’t leave her alone. I’ll definitely bring her back!”
“Zhou Yao…”
Old Master Zhou and Father Zhou feared for things to turn out that way. They feared that he would do something extreme. They believed everything he just said. In the past, when Ye Ziyi kidnapped Leng Zhiyuan, he was still able to stay calm and use Han Xuan. If they had told him the truth at that time, that part of the sea would have become his home in the past four years. He would definitely have gone to look for Leng Zhiyuan’s body.
Zhou Yao was the only descendant of the Zhou family. No one wanted him to waste himself like that.
“Zhou Yao, we…”
Zhou Yao had already left.
…
In the villa, Zhou Yao walked into the living room. Auntie Ni came up to him and said, “Young Master, welcome back. Didn’t you go to the army unit today?”
Zhou Yao did not show any emotions on his face. He was just very cold. He looked around and asked in a deep voice, “Where’s Sileng?”
“Madam and Ms. Bai took young master out to play. Young master is very happy.”
“Mmm.” Zhou Yao nodded and went upstairs without saying a word.
He went straight to Zhou Sileng’s bedroom and pushed the door open.
He walked to the bedside and looked down at the pillow on the bed. There was a stand of long black hair and a few soft short hair on the pillow. They were Bai Qi and Zhou Sileng’s.
He reached out to pick up the long hair and the short hair, put them into a plastic bag, and then went out.
Auntie Ni saw Zhou Yao coming down again, and she said, “Young Master, are you eating at home? I’ll prepare a few dishes…”
“No need!” Zhou Yao replied. He left the villa and drove away in his luxury car.
…
In the army.
Zhou Yao came to the medical center. He handed the transparent plastic bag to the doctor. “I’ll give you two days. I want to know the results from a DNA test.”
“Yes, General!”
Zhou Yao left the medical center and returned to his office. He sat quietly for a few minutes and then picked up the phone on the table. “Hey, get me a few confidential documents. I want a detailed list of everything that happened on that island four years ago and the names of all the islanders. Also, contact the foreign security bureau. I want to know the results of Ye Ziyi’s death four years ago and how the islanders were treated and settled. The more detailed, the better.”
“Yes, General!”
