C55 (2/2)
The old man explained, ”Ai, you don't know, I'm doing this for the little girl's benefit.” With that said, he drank the tea on the table in one gulp and then said, ”Let me ask you, why did your son and daughter-in-law come here last time?”
The old woman suddenly understood after her wife reminded her, ”Are you saying that the child in the photo is …”
The old woman was interrupted by the old man before she could finish her sentence. She nodded seriously and said, ”That's right, the moment I saw the photo, I knew that this child was the one they were looking for. It's just that you have never seen him before, so you can't tell anything from his eyes.”
The old woman finally understood what was going on and could not help but sigh. ”I didn't expect him to be here.”
The old man nodded. ”Yes, and even got acquainted with our little girl. I was thinking, could there be some sort of conspiracy?”
The old woman speculated, ”Are you saying that this was a trap set by him, just waiting for our little girl to jump into it?”
”It's not impossible.” The old man drank another mouthful of tea and continued, ”No matter what, we cannot tell anyone about this. Only by doing this can we protect our little girl.”
The old woman could not bear it any longer, ”Do we really have to do this? Isn't that unfair to the child? ”
The old man's eyes lit up, ”We don't have a better way, only in this way can we keep our little girl. Don't tell me you want to see her swept out of the house?”
”Is it really that serious?” the old woman asked worriedly.
”I don't know. I hope it isn't as bad as I imagined it to be. However, we have to prepare for a rainy day. We have to prepare everything for our little girl.” The old man said seriously.
In the end, the old lady was moved by her wife. [There is no way around it. Who doesn't want their children to be good? It is for the little girl that I have to do something against her conscience.] She secretly thought in her heart, ”Since it is the birth of a jade, how can it be bright?” ”Child, if you didn't appear again, we wouldn't have done so. For the sake of our little girl, I can only let you down. I hope you don't blame me.” As for the old man, he thought to himself, ”Child, if you can keep yourself lost, perhaps we won't have any conflicts. But you just have to appear at this crucial moment and force me to do something I don't want to do. For the girl's sake, I can only sacrifice you to fulfill her wish.”
He was originally a merciful person, but once he entered the path of evil, he would never be able to forget right and wrong. He was a pitiful unknown person, unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Tragic people had to be pitiful. Who would have thought that a kind-hearted person would break the principle that both of them had been true to each other for many years just for their own child? For their child, they began to walk step by step into the abyss of evil. What was their ultimate goal? And why did he do it? Will they succeed? What would the outcome be in the face of them?
The cold wind was dismal, the sky and earth were cold, and the night sky cut through the shackles of time as it quietly arrived. At this moment, the sky was completely devoid of any light. The moon and stars were all hidden in the deep layers of clouds, and the sky was as if it had been dyed black by ink. Looking up, one could see the ends of the world and the ends of the world.
Within a luxurious villa near the mountain and the sea.
His eyes were tightly shut. From his appearance, the old man seemed to be in his eighties, as if he had just been sick, and his face was full of fatigue. Even his shriveled lips were very pale. A middle-aged couple stood in the living room, looking up at the people in the hall. A sliver of worry and a sliver of fear appeared on their faces, as if they were afraid of the people in the hall. This could be seen from their faces.
Silence. At this moment, there were only the three of them in the living room. The old man in the hall still had his eyes closed, making it impossible to know what he was thinking. There was no helping it, the two could only suppress their fear towards each other, but they did not dare to disturb the repressed atmosphere here.
Only then did the old man in the hall slowly open his eyes, which were not clouded by disease. On the contrary, not only did the old man's eyes not have the slightest bit of filth, they were actually extremely sharp, giving off a kind of intimidating feeling, like the eyes of a falcon that soared through the sky, clear and sharp. When the two people met the old man's eyes, they couldn't help but bow their proud bodies. This was an indescribable domineering aura that could only be obtained after many years of contemplation. It was like the king's aura that shook one's soul.
The old man in the hall did not care about the fear in the two people's eyes and slowly asked, ”Is this the result of you handing it over to me?” It seemed like they were questioning, but more like they were scolding. Although their voices were hoarse, their auras were filled with a domineering aura, giving people a feeling of not getting angry.
Who is this couple in the hall? Who was this old man in the hall? What was their relationship? What had happened between them? Or perhaps there was a deal between them? What was the secret of their conversation?
