Chapter 501: Trust and Suspicion

“You know that No. 99 has been holding back mostly because of the bargaining chip in my hand. Do you think I’ll use her as an exchange?”

“You know that No. 99 has been holding back mostly because of the bargaining chip in my hand. Do you think I’ll use her as an exchange?”

Liu Guang’s face turned cold.

He exuded a murderous aura.

This sternness alone frightened Liu Yu, not to mention that he had mentioned their mistake of exposing their identities.

Liu Guang didn’t pursue the matter, making Liu Yu have the feeling that Liu Guang not pursuing his fault was being very tolerant of him.

Especially, it made Liu Yu hesitate when Liu Guang said this matter without any attempts to conceal it.

The crack in his heart towards Liu Guang suddenly wasn’t that obvious anymore.

However, once some doubts were buried, even if they were temporarily ignored, they would still be buried deep in their hearts.

It would explode when the time came.

“Father, don’t worry. There won’t be a next time. However, Father, is Sisi really…” Liu Guang’s sharp gaze swept over and Liu Yu hurriedly said, “N-nothing. I’ll go upstairs first.”

“It’s my fault this time. If anything really happens to Sisi, it’s also my responsibility…”

“It’s indeed your responsibility,” Liu Guang interrupted him.

Liu Yu’s body swayed.

His gaze was sad.

Liu Guang was very satisfied with his reaction and continued, “Since this matter is already in the past, don’t mention it again. Otherwise, you’ll only remind me again and again that you’ve made such a stupid mistake!”

“You clearly know Sisi’s temper, but you still told her such an important thing, causing Sisi’s identity to be exposed. Even Yiran, who has been undercovered at the enemy’s for many years, was discovered. Not only did I lose two generals, but I also lost two daughters!”

“Yu, I’ve always thought very highly of you. Don’t disappoint me again.”

His words were filled with warning.

Liu Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

He lowered his head. “Yes.”

Liu Yu went upstairs. Other than the people standing around with weapons, only Liu Guang and Hei Yao were left downstairs.

“They’ve always had a good relationship. You shouldn’t have told him so directly,” Hei Yao said slowly.

Liu Guang looked up. “Are you afraid that Yu will resent me when he finds out about this and then betray me?”

Hei Yao said nothing.

However, he had already given Liu Guang his answer.

That was what he wanted to tell Liu Guang.

“I know Yu’s temper very well. It’s normal for him to have some resentment, but he will never betray me. At least, compared to him knowing this from others, the resentment in his heart will be much lighter when I tell him personally.”

What Liu Guang didn’t know was that Liu Yu had already found out about it from someone else before this.

“How do you know that he didn’t know about this before you told him?” Hei Yao said emotionlessly.

However, Liu Guang smiled, “Yao’er, do you think everyone can hide their emotions like you? With Yu’s personality, if he had known about this earlier, he would definitely have questioned you immediately. With his personality, he can’t hide anything, unlike you.”

Hei Yao glanced at him.

In silence.

However, he clenched his fists tightly in his pocket.

What was he implying by that?

Or was he simply telling him that Liu Yu was very stupid?

He wanted to investigate further, but Liu Guang had already retracted his gaze. Hei Yao couldn’t tell anything.

Hence, he said, “Sir, when I came here back then, you said that you would bring me to see Godmom in a few days. Now that a month has passed, every time I mention it, you decline with all kinds of reasons. Do you not intend to let me see Godmom at all?”

“Yao’er, didn’t I say that your godmother’s health hasn’t been good recently and needs to rest well? No one is allowed to disturb her?”

Hei Yao’s gaze was deep and his emotions were unknown. “It’s precisely because she’s not feeling well that I want to visit her. Sir knows that Godmom will be in a much better state when she sees me, but you don’t want me to see her. Are you suspecting me now?”

“Now that I think about it seriously, that seems to be the case. Ever since I came here, although you allowed me to walk around freely, you always sent someone to follow me and never allowed me to go out.”

“I sent someone to follow you because I was afraid that you weren’t familiar with the environment. I got someone to lead the way for you. It’s not safe outside, so I don’t let you go out. No. 99 and the others are eyeing us covetously. Yu’s whereabouts were unknown. You’re the only one left of my children. I won’t allow you to put yourself in danger.”

Liu Guang looked sincere when he said this.

However, Hei Yao was not affected at all.

He was still expressionless.

Liu Guang looked at him and seemed to sigh softly, “Yao’er, if it wasn’t for you back then, I would have long disappeared with Ghost Slaughter Island. I have so many people under me and I trust you the most. Why would I ever suspect you?”

“Since you don’t suspect me, let me see Godmom. It’s just one meeting. How much time can it take? If I really can’t disturb Godmom, I’ll just look at her from afar. I won’t go close.”

Looking at Liu Guang, a hint of pleading flashed past Hei Yao’s eyes, “I haven’t seen Godmom for almost four years…”

Although the emotions in his eyes flashed by quickly, it was enough for Liu Guang to catch them.

Liu Guang’s eyes were sharp. He looked at him for a few seconds and said, “Alright, I’ll bring you to see her. However, you can’t disturb her for too long. She’s not feeling well and needs to rest.”

He thought that Hei Yao would be agitated because of this, but Hei Yao’s expressionless face suddenly turned cold. “Since you care so much about Godmom, why did you trap her and not give her freedom? Godmom’s situation is already serious. She needs to interact with new things to improve…”

“Forget it. It’s not like this is the first time I know that you’re a selfish person. You’ve always only cared for your own selfishness and never considered others. You always use the excuse of doing good for others, but what you do is what others hate the most.”

After saying that, he ignored Liu Guang’s dark face and said, “I’ll go upstairs first. Whenever you think you can let me see Godmom, get someone to inform me.”

Liu Guang looked at his back as he turned and left, and his eyes narrowed, “Stop!”

Hei Yao stopped but did not turn back.

“You resent me,” Liu Guang said with an affirmative tone.

“You’re overthinking. No,” Hei Yao said.

He still did not turn back.

“Am I being paranoid? Turn around and tell me seriously again. Do you really not blame me?”

Hei Yao turned back, but he only looked at him without saying a word.

His eyes were filled with complicated emotions.

Some of them were decipherable while others weren’t.

For example, the resentment in his eyes could be clearly seen.

“You’re still saying that you don’t resent me?”

“Since you want to see her so much, I’ll bring you over now. There aren’t many people I trust and can use by my side now. If even you leave me now, how can I fight No. 99?”

Hei Yao didn’t seem to hear the second half of his sentence. His eyes lit up when Liu Guang said that he would bring him to see Yin Xiaoxiao now.

“Are you serious? Aren’t you lying to me like before? Do you really allow me to see Godmom now?”

Liu Guang’s sharp gaze paused on his face for a few seconds before he nodded.

Hei Yao walked towards him quickly. “Shall we go over now?”

Even if the emotions on the usually expressionless Hei Yao’s face were not obvious, it was not difficult to tell his joy.

Liu Guang glanced at him again.

He nodded and stood up.

The two of them walked out together.
