Stop There, Daddy

He looked like he was in his thirties and forties. His shrivelled face looked like it was hanging on top of it. When he heard Guan Yue’s words, his expression became flustered. He lowered his head to avoid He Siming’s gaze, “I-I don’t know. I don’t know Wen Long.”

He Siming stared at him, crossed his arms and leaned back on the sofa. His narrow eyes narrowed in a dangerous arc.

Guan Yue turned his head and saw his expression. He couldn’t help but shiver. He turned to Ah Kuan and said in a cold voice, “I advise you to be honest. Since we can find you, we should be clear about what happened back then. You said that you don’t know Wen Long. Why would you testify in court that he was corrupt and bribing?”

The corner of Ah Kuan’s eyes twitched in a place that no one could see. He clenched his fingers and was clearly nervous.

As soon as he looked up, he met He Siming’s cold eyes and his fingernails were broken by him.

He hurriedly avoided He Siming’s gaze but still didn’t say anything.

Guan Yue still wanted to say something, but He Siming waved his hand to signal him not to speak. For a time, in the small and simple living room, it was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop. The atmosphere was so oppressive that one’s chest hurt.

After some time, Ah Kuan finally gave in to He Siming’s pressure. With a look of hesitant, he finally said, “I, I am a witness in that case, but what I said is true.”

Ah Kuan glanced at He Siming from the corner of his eye. This man looked like a superior. He doesn’t know who they are. He doesn’t know if they are here to overturn Wen Long’s case or for other purposes. So, he was flustered. If everything happened back then was said, would the people from the other side come to find him trouble?

He couldn’t tell if He Siming believed him or not. He could only force himself to continue, “The matter back then was investigated very clearly. I happened to bump into Wen Long for a bribe, so I stood in court to testify.”

Hearing this, He Siming leaned forward and stared at Ah Kuan with aggressive eyes. He said coldly, “False evidence, you will go to jail. Are you sure you won’t tell the truth?”

He stuttered, “I, what I said is true. What’s more, who are you people? Why did you break into my house? If you’re a police officer, show your ID or leave my house now!”

After that, Ah Kuan’s words suddenly became intense. His defensive posture let He Siming know that this person wouldn’t be easy to comply.

“We’re not police officers, but we have to know the truth about what happened back then,” Guan Yue did not intend to give up. “So, Kan, if you’re sure that you won’t tell us, don’t blame us for using an extreme method.”

“Let’s go!” Ah Kuan stood up to chase the two of them away. “If you continue to harass me, I’ll sue you for intruding into the house!”

“Pah!”

He Siming and Guan Yue were locked outside the door. Guan Yue turned to look at He Siming. The latter’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He asked weakly, “Mr. He, what should we do now?”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“Go back to the hotel,” He Siming replied without even looking at him.

Guan Yue stood on the spot and looked at He Siming as if nothing had happened. He sighed in his heart. The boss was the boss, so he was calm and composed.

He was also a steady person.

After dinner, He Siming sat lazily on the sofa. He looked up at Guan Yue and ordered coldly, “Find out all the information about Ah Kuan’s daughter tonight and find out where she went to school. Bring her over tomorrow.”

“What?” Guan Yue asked with uncertainty, “Mr. He, are you going to attack his daughter?”

Hearing this, He Siming glared at him. “As long as he is willing to cooperate honestly, I won’t do anything to his daughter. What’s more, do you think I’m someone who will go to the extreme?”

Guan Yue felt his back turn cold. He hurriedly smiled and shook his head. “No, no, Mr. He has never done things without confidence.”

“Mmm, go and do it.”

He Siming’s indifferent eyes slowly closed. He didn’t know what Wen Shuyue was doing now. He promised her that he would help her investigate these things.

Seeing that He Siming was taking a nap with his eyes closed, Guan Yue stopped talking and quietly left.

The next day.

The air in the small city was much better than the big city. Guan Yue sat in the car and silently watched the primary school in front of him. He took a deep breath of fresh air.

It was almost time, so Ah Kuan’s daughter should be coming to school soon.

Guan Yue put on his sunglasses and hid his eyes in the darkness.

Although Mr. He was a good person, although he was pass like thunder and move like the wind, he had never done anything about be guilty of dereliction or serious violation of law. Only…this time it was about Miss Wen. He really didn’t know how much Mr. He could do for her.

The school bell rang. Guan Yue put away his thoughts, opened the car door and walked down, looking for the little girl among the crowd.

Soon, the other children were taken away by their parents, while Ah Kuan’s daughter waited alone at the school entrance to look around. Guan Yue slowly approached her. Just as the child was about to speak, he grabbed a piece of cloth and covered her mouth and nose.

After a while, she fainted and Guan Yue mumbled, “Sorry.”

Guan Yue placed the little girl in the back seat of the car in a comfortable position. Then he walked straight to the driver’s seat and arrived at the hotel half an hour later.

“Mr. He, you’re here,” Guan Yue said respectfully as he hugged the little girl.

“Mhm,” He Siming looked up at the girl. “Good food and drink, don’t be hungry.”

“Yes.”

As time passed, Ah Kuan, who had finally finished his work, came to pick up his daughter at the school gate. However, he realized that there was already no one at the school gate. He had a bad feeling in his heart. He hurriedly went to find his teacher, but the teacher said that he had already left.

He ran to the streets and searched all the way back home. He shouted his daughter’s name, but no one came home.

At this moment, his phone rang and he picked up the call.

“I went to find you yesterday. Your daughter is now in our hands. If you choose to explain the truth, we will send her back.”

“Bastard!” After He Kuan heard this, he roared angrily at the phone, “If you dare to touch my daughter, I’ll go all out with you!”
