Hiding for twenty years, I still couldn't escape the fate. How helpless!
No one understands what the old man meant by his words. Maybe it was a sigh to himself or perhaps he was talking about some matter! But if Tank was here, he would certainly recognize this old man, for this is his most mysterious third grandpa among his five grandpas, always appearing mysteriously!
After arriving in Wuhai County, Tank began to inquire everywhere, and finally learned from an old lady at a small shop that an old man living near the county square seemed to be the person Tank was looking for!
After several hours of searching, they finally found Tank's second grandpa, who was watching a group of elderly ladies dancing on the square, with great enthusiasm!
"Second Grandpa, First Grandpa was killed!" As soon as they met, Tank broke the bad news to the old man, and after a moment of silence, tears seemed to glisten in the old man's eyes. After patting Tank's shoulder twice, he turned around with his hands behind his back and walked home!
The old man stayed alone in his room for three hours. When he came out, he handed two packages of medicine to Tank, "Go back, boil these two packages of medicine, and drink it. Then your injury will be healed!"
Although the old man seemed unchanged before and after, Yun Hao still noticed that something was not quite right with his emotions, as he seemed less friendly towards Tank than when they first met. Why was that? Was it a sudden loss of an old friend causing him to feel bad?
"Second Grandpa, my friend here also has injuries, could you take a look at him?" Tank asked, pointing at Yun Hao, without noticing the abnormal expression on the old man's face.
"I cannot cure this young friend's ailment, but he can come inside; I can help with acupuncture, which may provide some relief!" After speaking, the old man turned and entered the room again.
"Hurry up, Second Grandpa's acupuncture is amazing! First Grandpa said Second Grandpa's mind has been a bit off lately, and his temper is unstable, which is why he acted that way with me!" Tank pushed Yun Hao, urging him to follow, and then smiled and explained when he saw Yun Hao looking puzzled!
Yun Hao nodded, but the doubts in his heart grew even stronger; these doubts were not about others but about Tank!
The fact that he had a mysterious illness was known only to himself, Liu Mengqi, and Cold Face. But Tank mentioned it, knowing those two absolutely wouldn't talk about his ailments with anyone, not even Tank!
"Stay seated, young friend, your illness can't be cured by me. Acupuncture indeed can help, but my skills haven't reached that level yet!" Yun Hao had just entered as the door was shut by the second grandpa, who candidly spoke to Yun Hao.
"I wonder, old sir, is..." Yun Hao was more confused. If you can't cure me, why did you call me in? Isn't this pointless?
"It's nothing, just sit here for three hours and then you can leave. Just say that my skills weren't enough when you go out!" The old man didn't answer Yun Hao's question, but instead gave one instruction while disregarding him and walked to a table, where he lit three sticks of incense before an altar.
Since the man ignored him, Yun Hao could only sit idly, just as he had many things to sort out in his mind, as everything was terribly chaotic!
"Hey, did you ever mention my condition to anyone? No? Okay, I have to go, talk to you later!"
"It's me, did you mention my condition to anyone? Anyone? No, alright then, nothing more!"
Although Yun Hao trusted that Liu Mengqi and Cold Face wouldn't tell anyone, he still decided to call and ask each one to avoid creating tension between him and Tank!
But the answers he got were that neither of them talked to anyone. As for whether Liu Mengqi or Cold Face would lie, Yun Hao was certain they wouldn't. Liu Mengqi was naturally trustworthy, and though Cold Face rarely spoke, he was the person Yun Hao trusted most besides Liu Mengqi!
Three hours later, Tank's second grandpa opened the door to let Yun Hao out. "Young friend, you may go now. Your illness, my acupuncture skills can't treat it, but I suggest you visit Mr. Liang in Shennan City, his acupuncture skills are among the best in Huaxia Country!"
Hearing the old man's words puzzled Yun Hao again; being in the room for three hours without a word, and then being chased out with such a comment, what was the meaning of this?
"Stay and accompany Second Grandpa for a while!"
"Alright!" Tank nodded, then looked at Yun Hao and said, "Mouse, you go back first. I'll head to Nanjiang City after some time, or I'll return abroad!"
"That works, I'll be on my way then. If anything comes up, call me!" Yun Hao said little else, nodded, and then turned to leave.
After leaving, Yun Hao headed directly to the bus stop. No matter what, he needed to leave here first because this place always gave him a sense of danger, like being watched constantly. This feeling wasn't without reason; ever since in Jiangcheng City's bus stop, he had this feeling, but didn't pay much attention at the time!
Arriving at the station, there was no bus immediately, so Yun Hao waited. Since there was more than an hour before departure, he took his phone and called Shadow.
"Help me investigate this matter and give me results as soon as possible!"
There was something Yun Hao had to investigate clearly; otherwise, it would always leave a knot in his heart!
After boarding the bus, Yun Hao leaned back in his seat and dozed off; after all, there was nothing to do, and sitting next to him was an old uncle with nothing worth chatting!
By evening, Yun Hao had reached Jiangcheng and took a taxi straight to the airport.
Around midnight, he could reach Nanjiang City, perfectly giving Chu Yan a surprise. Isn't there a saying, lovers should often create surprises for each other?
At midnight, Yun Hao stepped off the taxi and returned to the villa. The lights inside were off, being already late at night. Yun Hao tread softly toward Chu Yan's room, trying not to make a sound, afraid of waking the sleeping Aunt Wu!
"Honey, I'm back!" Yun Hao said playfully upon pushing the door open, but there was no response. When he switched on the lights, he realized the room was empty. So late, Chu Yan hadn't returned!
