“Ye,
I understand that. I just don’t want to see any other misfortunes in this
house!” Mrs. Cheng looked concerned, and her voice lowered.
Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t understand what she
was saying, but Cheng Biyuan did. Sternly, he said, “Accident? What accident?
Is it really an accident? That’s us being weak and couldn’t guard what’s ours.
We had no choice but to cower and survive. Why do we have to keep hiding? We
have the ability now? Not only are we not hiding, I want to tell everything
that I, Cheng Biyuan, is no pushover. I will get back from them what was ours!”
“….” After the words full of anger and
oppression, Mrs. Cheng nodded and didn’t say anything else.
Cheng Xiao Xiao did not take this
opportunity to ask her parents any questions. What her father said was enough.
Now was not the time to find out why everything happened. When they are strong
enough, they would go take back what was rightfully theirs.
Inside a room in Lai Yue1 Inn.
“SMACK!”
A clear sound of a slap resounded from the
living room, a hand print appeared on Innkeeper Zhu’s cheek. Deacon Lin had the
cold look of ice, he stared at the person who dared not say a word in front of
him with a piercing look. Coldly, he said, “We have given you three days. You
want to go and confess your own crime or you want me to do it for you?”
“I…” said Innkeeper Zhu with a deep face,
embarrassed and angry, and also deeply worried. He turned to the other person
for help, “Deacon Bai, I really had no leads to their whereabouts.”
“Then you brought this upon yourself!”
Shouted Deacon Lin angrily.
Deacon Bai, who hadn’t spoken a word yet,
didn’t look any happier. After all, they have been here for a few days and had
nothing to show for it. It’d be lying to say he wasn’t angry. They would need
to report back to their master one way or another.
Of course, he was also aware that now was
not the time to dole out the innkeeper’s punishment. Begrudgingly, he said,
“Deacon Lin, chill out. We still need him to figure something out. We won’t be
able to locate the mother and daughter otherwise.
“Hrm…” Deacon Lin turned his head sideway.
He understood what he said was the truth, so he didn’t say anything else.
Deacon Bai looked at the man who’s rubbing
his face and said in a solemn voice, “Innkeeper Zhu, you have been living here
for tens of years, had you really no leads at all? I urge you to try harder to
locate them. Otherwise, we aren’t the only ones who are going to get into
trouble. I am afraid our families will be dragged into this as well. Please try
to think of something else.”
“Deacon Bai, Deacon Lin, I have tried
every means I could think of. Words had it that the doctor down at the Huichun2 Clinic had been to
been to a couple of house calls. I only he’d tell me where they are, I will be
able to locate the Cheng’s.”
“Bastard!” Shouted Deacon Lin right after
Innkeeper Zhu finished his sentence. “If you knew this all along, why didn’t
you go and ask him? Why did you waste so much time? You want to die, huh? If
you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!”
“It’s wasn’t that I didn’t go to him!”
With a dismal look, Innkeeper Zhu recounted the story of how he was booted out
of the clinic by Dr. Xu.
“Hrm. That bastard didn’t know any better.
We will just pay him a visit tonight. We can handle an old thing like him!”

Good story but,
ReplyDeleteI can't stand your short notes/summary ��
Please post a chapter next time.
Takes 15 sec to read them, chapters should be 2000-3000 words...at least then we would be able to enjoy it for 2-3 min ��
Simple solution. Seems the less frequent you read, the longer the enjoyment. Problem solved!
DeleteThank you for the wonderful translation. I appreciate you taking the time to do this and I hope you know that it brings a smile to my face and an instant tap to read when I see this update.
