Chen Hao stared at the old man; he was the one who blackmailed him when Qin Ya disappeared the last time. Unexpectedly, he turned up at his door once more.
âItâs you again?â Chen Hao frowned slightly.
âAha, grandson! Itâs you again eh? Anyways, hmph, these guards wonât let me pass. Why donât you tell them to let me in?â the old man said with his hand on his waist.
âWhat do you need to enter for? Iâm telling you, I did you a favor the last time, and even healed your injured leg. This time you still want to rely on me? Do you really think I donât have a temper at all?â
Chen Hao replied impatiently.
Out of sympathy, Chen Hao has already helped him once. But trying to get him to help a second time or a third time was just too much!
âGrandson, how could you say it like that? What do you mean Iâm trying to rely on you? It just seems to me that you look so much like my grandson that Iâve been separated from for years. I believe that heâd be about your age by now,â the old man said while looking sorrowful as he bowed his head.
âOld man, you sure have a way with words. Do you think I wonât dare to beat you?â threatened the guard.
Chen Hao also felt pity toward this old man, hence he raised his hand to stop them.
âYes, Young Master Chen!â The guard stepped aside obediently.
The old man was sitting pitifully at the doorway. As for Chen Hao, perhaps he couldnât bear to watch anymore, thus he took out a thousand from his wallet and gave it to him.
âAlright, I know that all you want is money. This will be the last time, take this money and get out of here!â Chen Hao said, knowing that giving him more money would only fuel his bad habits. There was really no other way, because he was unwilling to raise his hands against the elderly.
âI donât want any money, grandson. I just want to go in and take a bath. Look at me, my clothes are all torn and shabby!â The old man laughed.
Chen Hao pointed his index finger toward the old manâs nose and warned, âIâm warning you, stop calling me grandson! As for wanting to take a shower, go ahead and shower at the bathroom over there!â Chen Hao said as he handed the money over to the guard and turned away.
The guard instantly knew what to do. âDamn you, old man, Young Master Chen is kind-hearted, allowing you to go and shower there. F*ck, Iâll bring you over!â the security guard said as he pulled the old man away.
âThank you grandson!â
âStop calling him that!â
This incident was considered a minor episode.
After Chen Hao returned to his room, he got ready to wash up and take a rest. Not long after he was done with washing up, he heard a knock on the door. Chen Hao opened the door to peek out and was immediately startled; it was the old man.
âI say, what on earth are you doing? How did you come up here?â Chen Hao was dazed.
The hotelâs elevator could only be activated by an electronic access card. Furthermore, the floor he was on was reserved for VIPs. If a person wanted to come up, he or she would have to go through a security checkpoint. Yet somehow the old man managed to find his way here.
âHehehe, since I came looking for you, grandson, are you going to give me a place to stay?â The old man was snickering away. âFurthermore, grandson, did you forget the favor you owe me from the last time? You managed to find the girlie with the clue that I gave you!â
âWhat I want to know now, is how did you get up here?â Chen Hao was scratching his head in wonder.
The old man was indeed much cleaner right now. But judging on the smile he gave, Chen Hao couldnât think that he had any good intentions.
âOh oh, youâre referring to those glass doors? It was easy, I simply poked them with my fingers and they all stopped working. That was how I got up here!â the old man said. There was a sudden loud rumble as the glass doors opened all of the sudden.
A dozen guards rushed up all at once, electric batons in their hands. Obviously, these guards only rushed up there after observing the security cameras. âYou despicable old man, we finally found you!â
The guards circled around him. âYoung Master Chen, after the old man took a shower, he slipped past us in the lobby while we werenât paying attention. He overheard the reception lady mention your room number and somehow messed up the security to get up here! Weâll get him away now!â
Chen Hao didnât speak this time; the old man was only getting more and more mysterious to him.
It was also at this moment that Chen Haoâs phone rang; it was Su Ziyue. Regarding the dayâs matters, Chen Hao sent a text message to Su Ziyue to tell her about it, and after she had taken a look, she immediately gave Chen Hao a call. Chen Hao glanced at the old man for a moment and picked up the call.
âSu Ziyue, have you gone through the report?â
âYes. Well Chen Hao, what should I do next? W-Will I really be able to find my mother?â Su Ziyue asked excitedly.
âYou will. Rest assured, Iâm also looking for this woman. Give me a few days to settle some matters, and Iâll accompany you to go look for her. Besides Iâm concerned about you going to Chengdu on your own!â Chen Hao smiled lightly.
âAlright, then Iâm glad.â After the brief conversation, Chen Hao ended the call.
At this very moment, the guards were dragging the old man away. âChengdu? Grandson, Iâm also going to Chengdu. Thatâs my hometown, bring me along! Grandson!â the old man was shouting.
The old man somehow broke away from the guards, rushed toward Chen Hao and pleaded, âThatâs my hometown, grandson. Please, wonât you take me home?â
Chen Hao was looking at the old man up and down. It looked like he really wanted to go back, as if there was something urgent. When it came to this old man, Chen Hao didnât have an impression of him that was too bad; it was only the clingy attitude he had that seemed to throw him off a little. âFine, Iâll find someone to send you back!â
âFrom what you said, you seem to be heading to Chengdu with the girlie to look for someone. Let me tell you this, I can help you. Iâm very familiar with that place, so I can lead you to look for the person youâre looking for. Since youâve helped me so much, I will definitely repay you!â said the old man.
When Chen Hao heard it, he finally thought he heard something decent coming out from the old manâs mouth.
âYou damned old man, Young Master Chen doesnât need your help, come with us!â the guard shouted.
âHeh, if you donât believe it then ask him. If I previously didnât tell him where to find the girlie, do you think he would be able to locate her so quickly?â
âYou!â
âAlright, alright, thatâs enough. For now just bring him down and arrange for a room in another hotel for him to stay, and then buy some food for him. Tomorrow, get someone to escort him back to Chengdu!â
As for the help that was offered by the old man, Chen Hao could only smile bitterly but he didnât give any other indication that he would accept his offer. Then, Chen Hao returned to his room. The night passed by without any further incidents.
In the morning of the next day, Chen Hao had received another phone call; it was from Wei Mengjiao, the granddaughter of Mr. Wei. Only then did Chen Hao recall that Wei Mengjiao wanted to invite him to a party that she was organizing. He was not actually close to Wei Mengjiao, so initially when he picked up her call, he wanted to find a reason to turn her down.
âChen Hao, my grandfather knows that you will definitely attend my party. He said that I should host you properly!â Wei Mengjiao said excitedly.
Chen Hao was feeling a little guilty since this matter was already known to Mr.Wei, and Wei Mengjiao was also sincerely looking forward to it. He didnât know how he could get out of this. That was why he agreed to be there.
Moments later, he drove to the meeting place. He wanted to just drop by and leave shortly after.
âYoung Master Chen, weâve been waiting for you for a while now!â The chosen location was Jin Ling Brilliance Hotel.
Wei Mengjiao was waiting for Chen Hao at the entrance. Right beside Wei Mengjiao was a mature and sexy-looking woman who seemed to be around thirty, with long flowing hair and a slender waist; she was a woman with extraordinary elegance...
