He held her tightly in his arms, with all his might.
âHai Xiaotang, Iâve come to help you rescue your grandpa! Trust me, I will do it!â
Hai Xiaotang was slightly surprised, âBrother Tao, do you know what youâre saying?â
Rescuing her grandpa was no easy feat.
Perhaps only Dongfang Yu had the capability, but Tao Yiâ¦
Tao Yi let her go, affirming, âI know what Iâm saying. Trust me, I will help you rescue your grandpa.â
âAnd how will you do that?â
Tao Yi gave a light smile, âI have my way, but it will take a little while. Even if your grandpa is convicted, itâs okay. You just wait for my return, then I can save him.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hai Xiaotang felt uneasy, âBrother Tao, what are you planning to do? How can you possibly save my grandpa?!â
Only Dongfang Yu, as the victim, coupled with his immense power, could possibly save him.
Who else had the authority to make the law spare a criminal?
Yet, Tao Yi was confident, âI can save him, all you need to do is believe in me.â
Seeing his assured expression, a glimmer of hope rose within Hai Xiaotang.
She really wanted to rescue her grandpa, even if it cost her everything.
Butâ¦
âBrother Tao, if you can help me rescue grandpa, Iâll be forever grateful. But donât you dare do anything rash, I wonât accept that!â
Tao Yi laughed, âHai Xiaotang, Iâm a soldier, I wonât do anything to endanger our country or people! You will never need to doubt me on that.â
âSo whatâs your plan?â
âLike I said, I have my tactics. Just wait for my return, Xiaotang, do you believe in me?â Tao Yi asked expectantly.
Hai Xiaotang looked into his determined eyes and couldnât help but nod.
âI believe you,â she said.
Tao Yi immediately laughed, and gently tussled her hair, âThatâs all I needed to hear. Hai Xiaotang, remember, wait for me!â
Then Tao Yi left.
Always like this, hastily coming and going.
However, his brief appearances always brought her warmth.
So Hai Xiaotang trusted him, she trusted him unconditionally because she could feel his sincerity.
It was because of this trust that she didnât feel so helpless anymore.
She believed he would come back to help her rescue her grandpa, and he would bring good news.
However, until she was certain of everything, Hai Xiaotang did not dare to share this with anyone. She feared any changes, hence she kept silent.
Seeing her locked up at home all day without trying to do anything, Hai Rong and others were furious.
Lunchtime.
Just as Hai Xiaotang was about to eat, Hai Rong and Zhang Yu arrived.
Seeing them storming into the dining room, Maid Zhang quickly asked, âHave the master and madam eaten yet? If not, we can all eat togetherâ¦â
âThe Hai Family is finished, whatâs there to eat?!â Hai Rong roared sharply, his fierce eyes fixed on Hai Xiaotang, âPut down that bowl and come out!â
After saying this, he turned and walked away, with Zhang Yu following behind him, her face cold.
Maid Zhang jolted with alarm, she was somewhat anxious, âMiss, what are they up to? Why are they venting their anger on you?â
Hai Xiaotang casually dismissed her: âZhang Ma, you donât need to worry about them, itâs all fine.â
âBut they look aggressiveâ¦â
âDonât worry, itâs fine. Let me go and see.â Hai Xiaotang stood up and walked out. As soon as she reached the living room, Hai Rong furiously slammed a paper onto the coffee table!
