Chapter 243: You Still Have Fifteen Minutes!
Zuo Weiyi was filled with doubts as she stared at the old man. However, in the end, she answered his question anyway.
“She died of an illness.”
Her grandmother fell ill when she was just three years old, and since they could not afford to pay for treatment at that time, she had passed away shortly after that.
Back then, Zuo Weiyi could not understand why her grandmother’s body was so weak.
As soon as the old man heard her answer, the pain in his eyes deepened immediately.
The incident that happened forty years ago was a pain that he could never forget. It felt like a thorn that was pierced deeply into his heart, and it was so deeply rooted that it could never be removed anymore.
At this moment, Zuo Weiyi’s cell phone started buzzing again.
Zuo Weiyi looked down at her cell phone and she saw that she had received another text from the strange number before.
“You still have fifteen minutes!”
Zuo Weiyi suddenly recalled that she had to rush off to save Bei Xingchen.
She did not have any more spare time. She had to hurry up so that she could save Bei Xingchen!
Even though the old man had made her feel very bewildered, she did not have any time to think about all this right now.
“Old Uncle, I have something that I need to do now. I am sorry, but I have to leave first.”
Zuo Weiyi said as she looked at the old man once again. She was going to leave regardless of whether Xiangyi was going to allow her to leave or not!
At this time, Xiangyi and Shi Nuannuan walked over to them.
“Miss Zuo, where are you going?”
Xiangyi called out to her immediately when he saw that she was about to leave.
If he came one step later, Miss Zuo would probably have been tricked already.
True enough, there was someone who was hiding in the dark and waiting for Miss Zuo!
As soon as she heard his voice, Zuo Weiyi turned around to look at him.
At this time, Zuo Weiyi wanted to explain the situation to Xiangyi, but she suddenly recalled the threat in the text message earlier. “Don’t you dare to tell anyone about this. Otherwise, you can just get ready to collect your friend’s body.”
Who the hell was this, and why did this person kidnapped Bei Xingchen?
Shi Nuannuan also walked over as she asked blankly, “Yes, Weiyi… where are you going?”
At this time, Xiangyi could feel that there was someone else was nearby them, so he quickly turned around.
As soon as he saw the old man, his eyes widened in shocked. He was obviously very surprised by the appearance of the old man!
“Gu…”
The old man quickly raised his hand and interrupted Xiangyi before he could even finish his sentence.
Xiangyi was slightly started, and he only regained his composure after a few seconds.
Was the old man trying to conceal his true identity?
Xiangyi understood the old man’s intention immediately and quickly rephrased his sentence. “Sir, why are you here?”
The old man smiled slightly as he looked at Xiangyi.
“It is rare that I get some time off to myself. Therefore, I thought that I should come out to relax for a short while.”
Shi Nuannuan who was standing beside Xiangyi at this time could not help but turn around to look at the old man as soon as he heard his voice.
When she saw the old man, she had a very shocked expression on her face. She was obviously very surprised!
Before she could open her mouth, the old man took a step forward.
“Since you have friends with you, I will not bother you anymore.”
The old man smiled as he looked at the three of them before he turned around and left immediately.
In fact, Zuo Weiyi was also very puzzled when she saw Xiangyi talking to the old man.
Did Xiangyi knew this old man?
It was only when the old man had gradually disappeared from the crowd of people that Shi Nuannuan turned around as she stared at Zuo Weiyi in surprise.
“Weiyi, do you… know the old man just now?”
Zuo Weiyi was surprised at the sudden question, and she could only shake her head blankly as she replied, “I don’t think I can say that we know each other. We only met each other once on the bus before…”
As soon as she heard this, Shi Nuannuan frowned as she got even more confused.
“Bus? Are you sure? Did you remember that correctly?”
How could the old man just now possibly take the bus?
