Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 209
Jiang Hao got down from the car and went inside unwillingly. The Jiang family was in a huge mess right now. The situation was quite unstable, but he had to come here to play nice with the son the family had abandoned. What's worse was that he even had an argument with this abandoned son a few months ago over the phone.
His secretary stood behind him, carrying a gift in his hand. He never expected such a day would ever arrive. However, in the end, they were brothers. Since he hadn't met him for so many years, it was etiquette to bring along a gift.
It was a newly constructed villa located in the high-end community zone. The villas were built quite luxuriously, and even the standard of the nearby districts was very high. This made Jiang Hao feel increasingly unwell. He's able to live so well?
He arrived in front of the villa and pressed the doorbell. The people inside had reached here just a while ago. Jiang Yi was currently at the back pool. Cheng Hanlin wanted to go over and speak privately, thinking he might be able to apologize if they were alone. As for Sun Xiaohong, she was busy in the kitchen along with Lin Yueling, calling her sister-in-law over and over again. It was as if they had returned back to how they were more than a decade ago.
Ding-Dong!
The sudden sound of the doorbell caused Jiang Yi and Lin Yueling to tense up. If it were Susu, she wouldn't have pressed the doorbell as she had the key. They had a premonition that those people had come.
Their expressions changed subconsciously as they gathered in the living room. As for Jiang Xiu who was upstairs, he too became slightly edgy after hearing the bell. Sun Xiaohong went to open the door.
"Excuse me, is this Jiang Yi's…"
Needless to say, Sun Xiaohong welcomed the person cordially, "Yes. Please come in."
Jiang Hao took the gift from the secretary's hand and told him to withdraw. Sun Xiaohong felt that this person must be a big shot since he even had someone to carry things for him. Jiang Hao entered the villa along with the gift.
He saw Jiang Yi as well as Lin Yueling inside, "Little Yi, it's been a long time."
Jiang Yi said, "Not that long. We talked on the phone a few months ago."
Back then, he called this second brother of his in desperation and even bowed his head, but his brother did nothing, and there was no sincerity in his words. Jiang Yi could only wallow in despair, worried for his son who had become the target of execution. His brother had acted cold-heartedly as if he were a stranger.
And now, this person had dropped in with a gift.
Jiang Yi's mood was quite complicated right now. He was also quite astonished. He knew that his father hadn't woken up all of a sudden and remembered that he had a son. That would be similar to an ordinary man fantasizing of winning the lottery.
Jiang Hao revealed a smile on his face, "You won't blame second brother, right? You also know our father's character. Without a good opportunity, the matter wouldn't end and might even turn worse."
"Isn't it a good chance now? The sky is clear after the rain. Father told me to bring you back home for the Mid-autumn festival…" He raised his hand to show the gift, "It's Fei Maotai which you like the most."
"Let us brothers' reminiscence about the old times tonight."
Jiang Yi looked at him doubtfully.
The change in attitude was too much. A few months ago, this man hadn't even shown respect in his words and talked impatiently, without any hints of brotherhood, and now here he was, saying he wants to reminiscence about the old times.
"Let's go to the backyard, okay?"
Jiang Yi didn't wish for Sun Xiaohong, this blabbermouth to hear too much. Cheng Hanlin was currently just at the back pool. When he heard footsteps, Cheng Hanlin turned back and was dazed when he saw Jiang Hao, his expression changing suddenly. Jiang Hao was also dazed when he saw Cheng Hanlin.
"Looks like Brother Yi has a guest. I'll go inside. You both can chat…" Cheng Hanlin was quite nervous. His face turned pale, and hands trembled. He held a bit of hope while coming to the Imperial Capital but wasn't expecting the other side to drop in so fast.
At the moment they brushed past each other, Jiang Hao's petrifying gaze wandered over him, making Cheng Hanlin shiver all over and feel like he was suffocating.
His face had lost all color by the time he entered the house.
"Sister-in-law, since a visitor has come home, we'll go get Susu and Ranran. We haven't seen met them for a long time." Saying so, he pulled Sun Xiaohong outside.
"Okay. Return quickly."
After leaving the villa, Sun Xiaohong immediately noticed something was wrong, "What happened?"
"I saw him just now." Cheng Hanlin said nervously.
"Who?"
"The person who forced me back then."
"You mean…" Sun Xiaohong's expression changed as well as she cried out, "You aren't mistaken, right?"
They talked at the doorway, utterly unaware that Jiang Xiu was just standing at the balcony which was above them right now. Their voices were clearly audible to him thanks to his superior hearing ability.
"Over a decade has passed by, you didn't mistake the person, right?"
"His expression when he made me betray Brother Yi was the same as what I saw just now, just like a vicious wolf preying on the prey closely. I'd recognize him even if I were ashes."
Sun Xiaohong was scared. "H-He wouldn't do anything, right?"
Cheng Hanlin's face was filled with worry when he recalled that terrifying expression just now.
"Let's stop thinking about it for now and go find our daughters."
The couple rushed out after that while Jiang Xiu was left in shock. Was father going to prison a plot of the Jiang family?
Just as the couple reached the road intersection in the area, the Audi car which brought Jiang Hao began to move as well. The driver laid the cell phone down and drove slowly, following behind the couple.
The couple stopped a cab, "Driver, to the National University!"
The black Audi followed behind the cab closely as it drove to the National University. The Audi's driver was pretty calm and acted as if he was on a casual drive.
There weren't many restrictions placed in the Imperial Capital in 2008 so people could drive cars merrily.
The National University wasn't that far from the villa area. The journey took around 20 minutes. Cheng Hanlin and Sun Xiaohong calmed down a lot from their previously panicked state. However, for some reason, Cheng Hanlin was in a vigilant state.
"Look! It's Susu!"
Cheng Lingsu was pretty happy after receiving her dad and mom's call. She believed it would just be her and her sister as it wasn't possible to return to Jiangnan for the Mid-autumn festival due to university. She wasn't excepting her parents to come over to celebrate the festival with them, that too together with Jiang Xiu's family.
"Driver, pull up!"
The couple hadn't met their daughter for a long time. They weren't that worried for their daughters before but ever since they became bankrupt, they cherished this affection a lot. Moreover, Susu had experienced the most critical event in life, marriage. Although the wedding ceremony wasn't done yet, they already felt like they had married off their daughter, that too to Jiang Xiu. Cheng Lingsu was the apple of their eyes right now.
"Dad, Mom…"
Cheng Lingsu raised her arm and waved at them happily. She had a lot to say in her heart about the grievances she had experienced after getting married.
The Audi's driver lowered the door glass and puffed a few shots from the cigarette then threw it outside, his gaze turning ice-cold.
Cheng Lingsu's eyes grew wide open in alarm all of a sudden. She saw the Audi suddenly go out of control. Its speed almost reached 130 MPH, issuing a terrible rumble from the engine. It ruthlessly dashed towards the helpless Cheng couple.
"DAD! MOM!"
Cheng Lingsu screamed so loudly that she felt as if her heart had leaped up to her throat, losing all color from her face. She had never felt such fear in her entire life.
Cheng Hanlin and Sun Xiaohong were entirely oblivious to the situation. The Death God's scythe was about to fall on their necks as they looked at their daughter happily.
"NOOOO!"
Cheng Lingsu screamed.
However, that ice-cold machine didn't slow down and sped up even more. Cheng Hanlin and Sun Xiaohong had also realized something was wrong and turned back to look at the car speed over towards them. Their souls almost left their bodies as they instinctively dodged sideways.
That car was just like a prehistoric beast, chasing towards the direction they had moved.
The couple understood immediately that the car wasn't out of control at all, but this was instead premeditated murder. Just like how it had happened back then. It was a warning last time, but this time, they had come for their life.
At this moment of crisis, Cheng Lingsu pushed Sun Xiaohong aside. The car knocked against him, causing him to fly 10 m high in the air and drop to the ground.
"DAD!
"HANLIN!"
The mother-daughter pair's heart collapsed as they ran towards Cheng Hanlin who laid in a pool of blood right now.
