âWhy are you bringing it up now?â Hai Xiaotang countered, and then she seemed to understand.
âI get it now, youâve decided to forget about me, so you probably donât want to keep things hidden anymore. Letâs go, letâs get divorced right now!â
She reached for his arm, but failed to pull him along.
Hai Xiaotang furrowed her brows. âWhy donât you move? Donât tell me you donât want to get divorced.â
âWe canât divorce.â Dongfang Yuâs face was cold, âHai Xiaotang, we canât divorce right now.â
âWhy?â Hai Xiaotang didnât understand. âDonât tell me youâre not going to let me go againâ¦â
âFor your safety, you can only stay as my wife.â Dongfang Yu explained in a low voice, âOnly in this way, they wonât harm you. Understand?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhat are you trying to say?â Hai Xiaotang was clearly irritated.
She couldnât understand what he was saying, and had no idea what he was trying to express.
âDongfang Yu, can you please just say what you have to say all at once? I donât want to keep getting shocked like this!â
âFine, listen-â Dongfang Yu stared at her and explained, âYouâve always wanted to know why your grandfather disappeared, right? He wasnât kidnapped. Heâs hiding because someone is after his life!â
Hai Xiaotang was shocked, her mind suddenly went blank, âWhat are you sayingâ¦â
âThe man who originally wanted to kill you, heâs Huo Junâs son. When he was desperate, he sent your grandfather something. That thing was the document that was leaked!â
He knew he would die in your grandpaâs hands, so he intentionally framed him. After your grandpa received the confidential document, there were people who were worried that he would expose the person, so they secretly wanted to murder him. So, we both agreed, he decided to hide!â
But when they couldnât locate your grandfather, they wanted to use you to threaten him to come out.
So, what happened last night wasnât an accident, it was a trap intentionally set to kidnap you.
They were afraid of giving away their intentions, thatâs why they went through great lengths to set up this perfect trap to grab you, understand?!â
Hai Xiaotang incredulously stepped back.
She never could have imagined that there were so many intricacies she didnât know aboutâ¦
âIs what youâre saying true?â She asked in disbelief.
Dongfang Yuâs eyes were somber. âHai Xiaotang, every word I say, you must believe!â
Hai Xiaotangâs eyes flickered.
She seemed to have thought of something, she excitedly grabbed his arm, âSo, you mean, my grandpa is just hiding, heâs safe, heâs okay? You know where he is?!â
Dongfang Yu nodded. âYes!â
Hai Xiaotang felt a surge of joy, âIs it true? Then where is grandpa, I want to see himâ¦â
âYou canât see him, I canât see him either. Until he is completely safe, we canât contact him, or else it would be easy for them to find him!â
Hai Xiaotang was puzzled. âWhy do we need to be so cautious? Who is trying to kill him and whatâs this confidential document about?!â
âThe one who wants to kill him, is the person who was commanding the military force behind the scenes last night!â
Hai Xiaotang was stunned, but then everything suddenly made sense.
âYou mean, the so-called document is something shady? And itâs related to some high-ranking official, who wants to deal with grandpa and also deliberately conspired with the underworld to kidnap me, all to avoid being exposed?â
Dongfang Yu slightly nodded, âExactly, just as you figured out.â
âHow could this beâ¦â Hai Xiaotang couldnât believe what was happening.

Now the transition is done, letâs start the emotional drama~ Let me reiterate, my plot may not be easy to guess, so donât scare yourselves, itâs not as horrible as it seems~
