Liu Yu broke out in a cold sweat. “I-I told Sisi. Sisi asked to meet Chu Yiran and Yan Jinyu happened to see them. Yan Jinyu heard their conversation.”
With him saying that, Liu Guang almost knew what was going on without explaining in detail.
Yu was Sisi’s biological brother and doted on his sister very much. He must have told her because he couldn’t stand her pestering.
And Sisi was his daughter. He knew very well what she wanted.
If Min Sisi knew that he had another daughter and that daughter’s existence had been hidden from her, she wouldn’t have let it go.
Liu Guang stood up and kicked Liu Yu, “Idiot!”
“You know Sisi’s personality, but yet you still told her this. You’re incompetent!”
Liu Yu was kicked to the ground and he got up to kneel again. “Father, this is indeed my fault. I won’t have any complaints about how you want to punish me, but…”
Liu Yu respected Liu Guang very much. This was the first time he refuted Liu Guang. He mustered up the courage to look up. “However, there’s something I have to say.”
“Not long ago, Chu Yiran and Qin Hao were carrying out a mission together. Chu Yiran didn’t listen to orders and acted on her own. She’s already being suspended and investigated. Even without Sisi’s carelessness this time, Chu Yiran isn’t very useful anymore. Even if she doesn’t expose herself and offends Qin Hao, her future will definitely not be easy. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for her to come into contact with any more information that’s beneficial to us. As for the mission you assigned to her in the early years, she hasn’t made any progress until now. It’s even more impossible to complete it in such a situation now.”
“Father, I’ve never really understood. Although Yiran has some ability, she’s impulsive. Not to mention that she acted on her own without caring about the consequences when she carried out a mission with Qin Hao some time ago, letting Qin Hao catch such a huge handle and almost ruin our years of hidden efforts.”
“Back then, why would she have exposed herself if she wasn’t careless? If she hadn’t exposed herself, Liu Junqing wouldn’t have had to take the initiative to expose himself to protect her.”
“I remember that it was Father’s idea to let Liu Junqing take the initiative to expose himself to protect her.”
“Could it be that in Father’s eyes, Chu Yiran is even more important than Liu Junqing?”
“Are you questioning me?” Liu Guang’s ruthless gaze landed on him, making Liu Yu involuntarily shiver, but Liu Yu still insisted on looking into his eyes.
Chu Yiran and Sisi were obviously crippled. Then, only he and…
He had to let his father see his value.
At present, the best way to show his father his value was to use Chu Yiran’s brainlessness and impulse as a foil.
His father would only be willing to save Sisi when he saw his value.
Otherwise, with his father’s usual style, he wouldn’t have cared about Sisi’s life at all.
He couldn’t ignore Sisi!
“Father, I’m not questioning you. I’m just expressing my doubts. Why should Father protect her more than others when she’s such an impulsive person who couldn’t complete the mission Father gave her after so many years? We’re clearly all your biological children!”
“It’s fine with Sisi, but why isn’t Liu Junqing as important as Chu Yiran? You’re actually willing to sacrifice Liu Junqing to protect Chu Yiran!”
Hearing him mention Liu Junqing again, Liu Guang seemed to be moved for a moment.
He frowned in displeasure. “He was stupid to end up like that!”
“There are countless ways to expose his identity. Why did he choose to expose it in public? If he had chosen to leave quietly back then and not expose himself so openly. He wouldn’t have died and Yiran could be protected as long as those people know his identity.”
“Then why did you have to expose him? It was clearly Chu Yiran who was careless and almost exposed herself. Why did you let Liu Junqing pay for her mistake?”
Liu Yu had never figured that out all these years.
As they spoke, Hei Yao came downstairs and happened to hear their conversation.
He did not go forward and instead stood on the stairs. He did not hide and listened to their conversation openly.
Liu Guang naturally saw him.
He glanced at him indifferently and did not care.
He continued to look at Liu Yu coldly, “Why? Compared to an uncontrollable person, I would rather keep someone weaker but more loyal.”
“Junqing is very capable. Unfortunately, he’s stubborn and uncontrollable. Otherwise, he would be the heir I think highly of…”
“He clearly has already infiltrated the enemy, but he didn’t want to leak any news from the beginning to the end. Since that’s the case, it’s better to use him to protect Yiran. No matter how bad Yiran is, she has sent me a lot of news all these years and helped me avoid a lot of trouble. If it were Junqing, he wouldn’t be able to do it.”
“However, Junqing is the heir I think highly of after all. I don’t want anything to happen to him. If he didn’t choose to expose himself at that time and instead left silently and returned to Ghost Slaughter Island, he would still be the heir I think highly of. Unfortunately, he’s too ignorant!”
“Although his actions make me very disappointed, he’s still my biological son and the heir I think highly of. I’ll definitely take revenge for him.”
Murderous intent flashed past Liu Guang’s eyes.
These words sounded like he valued Liu Junqing very much, but Liu Yu’s respect for him started to waver for some reason when he looked at him.
Although he said that he wanted to take revenge for Liu Junqing, his father’s killing intent was more like for himself.
Before he found out that Liu Junqing had actually died at Yan Jinyu’s hands, his father had always thought that Liu Junqing had died at Yin Jiujin’s hands. However, his father had never said anything about helping Liu Junqing take revenge.
“Alright, Liu Junqing deserved his fate. But Father, you’re in need of people now. Before you pursue my and Sisi’s mistakes, shouldn’t you think of a way to save them first? Not only Sisi and Chu Yiran, but also Wang Zhi, whom Father spent so much effort to nurture, is in their hands.”
“Speaking of Wang Zhi, Father seems to have always valued her very much. You arranged for her to go to North City to gain Yan Jinyu’s trust three years ago. However, she was discovered by Yan Jinyu as soon as she approached her.”
“No matter if she was unlucky enough to be discovered or if she wasn’t capable enough to hide from the other party’s eyes, Father spent a lot of effort to nurture her. Are we going to let her be crippled like this?”
Liu Guang stared at him with a sharp gaze.
Liu Yu felt uneasy.
He was very nervous.
His forehead was covered in cold sweat.
“You said so much because you want me to save your sister.” His tone was firm.
Her tone was not harsh, but it was enough to make people shiver.
In reality, Liu Yu’s respect for Liu Guang mostly came from his fear of Liu Guang.
Since he had already been explicitly pointed out, how could Liu Yu dare to deny it? “Father is wise. Sisi is my biological sister. I’ve already let her down by leaving her alone in the Min Family all these years. I can’t watch anything happen to her.”
“Father still cares about Sisi too. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have taken the time to come back and teach her personally all these years. You even prepared to leave Luo Yikun, whom you value very much, to her.”
“Actually, I’m still very puzzled. Father taught Sisi personally. Even Liu Junqing and I don’t have such treatment. Of course, Chu Yiran and…” He glanced at Hei Yao on the stairs.
“We don’t even have such treatment. It’s enough to show how much Father values Sisi. Why do I feel that Sisi isn’t as important as Chu Yiran to Father? Could it be that Sisi looks the most like…”
“Shut up!”
His cold gaze swept over with a hint of killing intent.
Liu Yu’s face turned pale and his body trembled. “Father, please forgive me!”
His father wanted to kill him! His father actually wanted to kill him! Just because he said that!
He lowered his eyes slightly. “I have no complaints about how Father wants to punish them, but Father can’t just leave them in the other party’s hands. This isn’t just for my selfishness, but also for the overall situation.”
“We need manpower now. There aren’t many people around Father anymore. If we saved the three of them, they will be a huge help when they come back even if they can’t continue to do things according to their previous path.”
Liu Guang narrowed his eyes, “Are you teaching me how to do things?”
Liu Yu quickly lowered his head. “I-I don’t dare.”
“Although he’s selfish, he’s not unreasonable,” Hei Yao interrupted expressionlessly and slowly walked down the stairs.
“You really need manpower now. After all, you spent a lot of effort to nurture them. Two of them are your biological daughters. If you leave them in the lurch, the hearts of the people who had stayed by your side will turn cold.”
Hei Yao did not say who the people he was referring to were.
However, Liu Guang frowned and fell silent.
He glanced at Liu Yu, who was still kneeling on the ground, and then his gaze landed on Hei Yao’s face.
“Of course, I heard from you just now that they’re in Qin Hao’s hands now. With Qin Hao’s identity, they are actually even more difficult to save than being in Yin Jiujin’s hands. Once we make a big move, it will quickly alert the higher-ups. It’s even more disadvantageous for us.”
“But it’s still possible to save them.”
Hei Yao was expressionless the entire time, as if this had nothing to do with him and he was just a bystander.
“Do you have a solution?” Liu Yu asked.
Liu Yu actually disliked Hei Yao very much and usually wouldn’t talk much to him. However, due to Hei Yao’s importance to Liu Guang, he didn’t dare to openly find trouble with Hei Yao.
He asked reluctantly.
Hei Yao didn’t even look at him and said to Liu Guang, “The other party didn’t kill them immediately. Perhaps they wanted to keep them alive to lure us out. They’re considered hostages in the other party’s hands. Since it’s impossible to save them directly, we can only use a roundabout method.”
“They have hostages, and so do we.”
Hearing this, Liu Guang was furious, “You want me to exchange Yin Xiaoxiao with them?!”
Then, Hei Yao, who had been expressionless, smiled.
Although it was not obvious, he did smile.
“Of course, it would be best if you’re willing. You know that I want Godmom to return to her original life more than anyone else.”
Before Liu Guang spoke, Hei Yao retracted his faint smile. “Of course, I know it’s impossible for you to agree.”
“Since you know, do you mean…”
“They have hostages in their hands, and you don’t want to use Godmom to exchange for them. Then, we’ll capture others and bring them back. You know very well what kind of personality Eldest Miss Yan has. She’s willing to accompany others for more than 20 days with her personality. It’s obvious how much she values her sister.”
Liu Guang narrowed his eyes and sized him up for a long time before retracting them, “This is a good idea.”
Hei Yao was expressionless as if he was just saying it casually.
“Sir, it’s been almost three years since I last saw my godmother. When can I visit her?” It seemed like only when Yin Xiaoxiao was mentioned could Hei Yao’s expression be seen.
Seeing that there was more than an expression on his face and there was also anticipation in his eyes, Liu Guang was slightly moved, “In a few days.”
“Okay.”
This smile was even more obvious.
Liu Guang was stunned.
Not to mention Liu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground.
“I’ll leave the matter of bringing Yan Jinyun in to Liu Yu. What do you think?”
