At this moment, Chen He clenched both his fists tightly! Even his breathing had become rapid and deep! He was sure that … that was his younger brother!
Seven years ago, that … happened to be the time when the capital was in turmoil! Seven years ago … his younger brother was seriously injured?!
Chen He's heart was trembling … a deep sense of guilt welled up in his heart! His younger brother was seriously injured … then what about him now?
Chen He shook his head vigorously, forcibly interrupting the pessimistic speculation in his heart! His younger brother must be fine! He must still be alive! Definitely!
"Do you know how long they stayed in the neighborhood?" Chen He's voice was extremely solemn, with a hint of urgency.
The security guard was a little confused. After carefully thinking for a long time, he said with some uncertainty, "I think … I think they only stayed for two months … It should be, anyway, not long after … I don't see them anymore … It's like they disappeared into thin air."
The security guard explained slowly.
Boom! Hearing this, Chen He's heart suddenly trembled!! Disappeared … into thin air?!
Could it be …?! In Chen He's heart, a bad premonition surged uncontrollably! Could it be … that something happened to them?! Seven years ago, at the beginning of that massacre, could it be …
No! It couldn't be! It couldn't be! They must be alive!
Chen He's face was extremely anxious and embarrassed! He tried to convince himself that they must be fine!!
"Which villa did they live in that year?" Chen He's voice was extremely solemn and anxious as he asked!
The security guard looked a little panicked, his body trembling slightly, and he said cautiously, "Big brother … this, this, we really don't know … Repulse Bay is a high-end residential area … each resident's house is an independent private area, we are just doorkeepers … we have no idea where they lived …"
The security guard's voice was slightly trembling as he explained slowly.
Chen He stared at the security guard with extremely solemn eyes, like a sharp sword … as if it was piercing the security guard's heart! He was distinguishing between the truth and falsehood in the security guard's eyes!
Under the terrifying gaze of Chen He, the security guard didn't dare to lie at all. He only felt his whole mind trembling, as if there was a sharp sword hanging over his heart! This pressure was too terrifying!
In the end, Chen He slowly retracted his terrifying gaze … From this security guard's gaze, he didn't see any signs of lying or concealing!
Chen He's eyes were deep and solemn as he said slowly, "I'll go in and have a look."
The security guard was a little hesitant. "This … Big Brother, this is a private, high-end villa … The people living here are all high ranking officials and nobles … I'm afraid it's not very convenient …"
Chen He's expression was calm as he stared at him.
At this moment, the security guard's heart suddenly trembled! His face instantly turned pale! He was so frightened by Chen He's gaze that his whole body trembled, as if he had gone through the eighteenth level of hell!
Chen He calmly walked into the neighborhood … None of the security guards dared to stop him!
Chen Haonan and his lackeys followed closely into the villa area.
Chen He slowly walked on the tree-lined road in the villa district. His expression was solemn and complicated, and his fists were tightly clenched. His deep gaze swept across every villa around him.
Seven years ago, his mother and little brother had escaped disaster here! They had once lived here! But … why had they suddenly disappeared? Chen He's heart trembled faintly … Although he was extremely unwilling to admit it … that was indeed an uncrossable fact! Seven years ago, after they escaped to Hong Kong and hid in this Repulse Bay villa district … Perhaps, they had experienced some kind of crisis? That was why … they had suddenly disappeared?!
Chen He clenched his fists tightly, and the popping sounds of his joints were constantly exploding. What kind of crisis had they experienced in Hong Kong? Why had they suddenly disappeared? Were they … still living in Hong Kong? These key questions were like silk threads, constantly entangling Chen He's heart. It made his emotions extremely chaotic and complicated!
Chen He walked slowly on the road, his cold gaze sweeping across the surrounding villas … Here, there were hundreds of villas and manors … Seven years ago, which one of these villas had they lived in?
Just like that, he kept searching in the villa district. Almost all of these villas had been visited by him, and he was trying to find a trace of clue in these neighborhoods.
As he walked, suddenly! Chen He's gaze suddenly froze!
His footsteps came to an abrupt halt! His gaze was fixated on a villa not far away! In the flower bed of that villa, there was a row of scarlet kapok plants!
At this moment, Chen He's breathing became erratic and rapid! Even his pupils constricted in shock! Those scarlet kapok plants seemed to be constantly stimulating the deepest and most hidden memories in the depths of his heart!
That was decades ago! A mansion in the capital … At that time, he was still only ten years old! When he was ten years old, he had violated the rules of training in the military area … As a result, he fell and was covered with injuries … That year, his mother … planted a red and fiery kapok tree on the soil of the villa! He would always remember his mother's words … She said that the kapok tree was a traditional Chinese medicine. Planting kapok trees would spread the fragrance of kapok in the air, and wounds would heal faster!
The kapok tree was a good medicine for treating wounds! When he was a child, Chen He's villa was filled with a row of kapok trees! The reason was that his mother had treated the ten-year-old Chen He's injuries!
And now, on this faraway island of Hong Kong! On this island that could not possibly produce kapok trees … Chen He actually saw kapok trees again!
The fiery red kapok flowers bloomed on the branches, constantly illuminating and stimulating Chen He's pupils! His eyes gradually became moist and red!
Chen He quickly walked in the direction of that villa. His body suddenly leaped over the several meters high wall of the villa, and he abruptly jumped into the villa's garden!
With shaky and messy footsteps, he slowly arrived under the kapok trees!
The fiery red kapok flowers bloomed like gorgeous roses, emitting a faint herbal fragrance.
Chen He stood under the kapok trees, his entire being seemingly experiencing a great emotional upheaval!
How could there be kapok trees in this Repulse Bay villa district? Here, on this island, why would someone plant these northern Chinese herbal trees? How could this be?!
Chen He's trembling hands slowly stroked the thick trunk of the kapok trees … At this moment, his heart was trembling!
Looking at the thick appearance of these kapok trees, the answer to their age slowly emerged … These were kapok trees that were about six or seven years old! These kapok trees had been planted in this flower bed for six or seven years!
Chen He's heart was beating violently, his breathing was extremely rapid and messy, and his expression was extremely complicated!
Kapok trees that were six or seven years old … That young man who was injured and covered in blood … All these answers seemed to instantly interweave and link together!
The kapok trees were used to treat injuries?! To treat my brother's injuries!
Chen He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes incomparably red, and in his eyes … complicated and solemn emotions surged wildly!
At this moment, suddenly … the villa's door in the courtyard slowly opened.
An old woman with a head full of silver hair stood in front of the villa's door.
The old woman's aged eyes were filled with a trace of doubt, and she asked in a kind voice, "Young man … Why did you break into my garden?"
Seeing this old woman who had suddenly appeared, Chen He's gaze was slightly stunned, and it became complicated and solemn!
He forcefully suppressed the incomparably complicated and profound emotions in his heart, and quickly walked toward the old woman.
The old woman seemed to be a little frightened, and her aged and hunched body took a step back.
"Granny, don't be afraid, I just … want to ask you a few questions!" Chen He realized the situation he was in and hurriedly explained in a solemn manner!
"Young man … What do you want to ask?" The old woman's aged eyes stared at Chen He with a trace of vigilance.
Chen He forcefully suppressed the complicated and profound emotions in his heart, and asked solemnly, "Granny, who is the owner of this villa?!"
The old woman stared at him with a puzzled and vigilant gaze, "I am … the owner of this villa … What do you want?"
Hearing the old woman's words, Chen He's gaze became even more solemn! This old woman … was the owner of this villa?
"Granny, let me ask you … Seven years ago, did these two people … live in this villa?!" With a hurried and complicated expression, Chen He handed the two copies of the portraits in his hand to the old woman!
The old woman's eyes were a little old, and it seemed like she couldn't see the pictures on the paper clearly … Her aged eyes slowly focused on the two people in the portraits …
