"I didn't see him after work today. I thought he was working overtime again, so I didn't pay much attention. But when I finished cooking, it was almost eight o 'clock, and he still wasn't back. Then I thought, maybe he went out to drink with his friends. "
His adoptive father was a hooligan when he was young. He loved three things: fighting, flirting, and drinking.
The first two were removed from his list of hobbies because he was middle-aged and couldn't control himself. Only his drinking habit remained. Sometimes, he wouldn't go home after work and would go out to drink with his friends instead.
"I wanted to call him to remind him not to drink too late, not to drive, and to take a taxi home. But I couldn't reach him. Your dad's phone was turned off. Later, I called a few of your dad's friends who often drank with him, but they said they didn't see him. Your dad never turns off his phone. "
His adoptive father worked in a state-owned enterprise. Because of work, his phone was always on standby 24 hours a day.
"Later, I called your dad's workplace. They said …" His adoptive mother's calm tone became agitated again. "They said your dad didn't even go to work today."
"Where do you think he went?"
"Did he act strangely today? Or did he tell you something? "Li Xianyu started to put on his clothes. His tone was calm, but his actions were hurried.
The other side of the phone quieted down. His adoptive mother thought for a long time. "No, he just lost contact without any warning."
"I'm coming now. Mom, wait at home." Li Xianyu put on his clothes and ran to Great-grandmother's room. He wanted to knock on the door, but stopped when he raised his hand. After some thought, he turned around and left alone.
.....
In the room next door, Great-grandmother was still awake. She had changed into a silk nightgown and was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Her mind was a mess, and she could hear her frantic heartbeat. Until now, her heart had not calmed down.
The sound of footsteps at the door woke her up. She sat up and tiptoed to the door. Her instincts told her that the person outside was her heartless great-grandson.
Apologize?
"Don't knock, don't knock …" Great-grandmother mumbled in her heart as she leaned against the wall.
With that little bastard's personality, he would definitely be so thick-skinned. But she didn't. In her 120 years of life as a Warrior Soul and 18 years of life as a young lady, she had never encountered such an awkward moment. Now, she just wanted to be quiet and not see anyone.
He stood at the door for a moment, then left without knocking.
Great-grandmother let out a sigh of relief and quietly returned to the bed. She threw herself on the bed, and her silk nightdress fluttered, revealing her fair and tender long legs under the light.
How dare that brat … say something like that to her.
What did he mean by that? What did he want to do?
I'm his Great-grandmother, and he's my big brother's descendant. How could he say that to me? Do you still have any respect for your ancestors?
What about you?
His expression and tone when he said those words appeared in her mind again. Great-grandmother's mental state suddenly exploded. When she heard the laughter coming from his room, her mental state exploded like a grenade. Now it's a nuclear bomb.
"Little bastard, little bastard, little bastard …" She clenched her teeth and cursed a few times.
"If it was any other descendant, I would've killed him with one slap." She was stunned after saying that.
If any other descendant dared to have such thoughts, she would've killed him with one slap. Great-grandmother was very sure of that. But … why was he an exception?
Then she was in a daze for a long time. She was thinking about why, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out.
"Because he's the only child," Great-grandmother said.
The only child, so she favored him.
However, when Li Wuxiang was her age, wasn't he also the only child? The Li family only had one descendant. Going back even further, the fourth descendant was also the only child. She didn't acknowledge those half-blooded bastards.
That's right, they were all the only children, so why was the sixth descendant favored him?
"Because he's interesting." Great-grandmother found another reason.
It was true that he was interesting. The little bastard was more interesting than the previous descendants. Great-grandmother knew this very well. Being with him made her feel like she was still alive and not the guardian angel of the Li family.
It wasn't that the previous generations of descendants weren't close to her. After all, she had watched them grow up. However, it was precisely because of this that in their hearts, their great-grandmother's position had been set in stone since they were young. She was their senior, high and mighty.
And in Great-grandmother's eyes, they were juniors. Seniors couldn't be friends with juniors. That was the source of her loneliness.
When it came to this generation's descendant, the situation was different. She often forgot her identity as an elder. She found some of the feeling of Li Gui's time.
"He's too pitiful. Among the previous descendants, he's the most pitiful. That's why I favor him. "
Yes, that's it.
She nodded to comfort herself. Then, a few seconds later, she scratched her head like Li Xianyu. "Little bastard, little bastard, little bastard …"
.....
At 10: 30 at night, the traffic in Shanghai was still very heavy. Li Xianyu sped past red lights and changed lanes, completely ignoring the traffic rules.
He held the steering wheel with both hands and looked straight ahead with a serious expression.
It was just a normal loss of contact. It must be a normal loss of contact.
Maybe his father drank too much and his phone ran out of battery, so he couldn't contact his adoptive mother. Or maybe he was unwilling to admit defeat in his middle age, so he grabbed a chicken and went crazy.
It wasn't impossible for his father to be a show-off like that.
As for not going to work, he was a man. There would always be a few days in a month.
But, it was too coincidental …
Just when he resurrected and returned to China, he lost contact for no reason. Even if he didn't ask Yuan Fang, he could see that something was wrong.
Did someone make a move on my father?
What was the reason?
He was just a normal person and had nothing to do with the Bloodline World. In this day and age, unless it was a hatred of extermination, the fights between Bloodlines usually ended with the death of the person. If it wasn't for the extreme hatred, very few people would harm normal people.
Li Xianyu counted his enemies in detail. There were too many enemies, but it seemed that none of them would make a move on his adoptive father, who was a normal person. Look, Li Peiyun hates me, but he didn't come back to China to take revenge on my family.
If it wasn't an enemy, then it must be someone with ulterior motives. What were they plotting?
Li Xianyu understood.
"That's not right. I don't know about my biological father's treasure. Why did he kidnap my adoptive father? It's useless to threaten me. This doesn't make sense. " Li Xianyu's thoughts spun quickly in his mind. He stepped on the accelerator harder and harder. Using his super reflexes, he continuously overtook and drifted.
If there weren't so many cars on the road, he could have driven the Audi A9 like a race car.
"I always ask for things from you, but never thank you.
I didn't understand until I grew up that it wasn't easy for you.
Please slow down time and don't let you grow old.
I'm willing to use my life to make you stay … "
The car stereo was playing the popular song "Father" from last year. It was now one of the must-listen songs in KTV.
Li Xianyu felt terrible listening to it and turned it off. He thought to himself, "Shut up. Are you Pinru's stereo?"
It was a 40-minute journey from Bosch to his adoptive parents' house, but he arrived in 20 minutes. The car was parked downstairs, and he rushed upstairs. Even the elevator wasn't as fast as him.
The anti-theft door was ajar, and light shone through. His adoptive mother knew that he was coming back, so she didn't close the door.
"Mom, mom?" Li Xianyu pushed the door open and called out.
His adoptive mother got up from the sofa in the living room and welcomed him.
"Have you contacted my dad?" Li Xianyu held his adoptive mother's hand.
His adoptive mother shook her head, and her face was full of worry. "His phone is still turned off. What's wrong with this guy? He didn't go to work in the day, and he didn't come home at night. He can't be contacted either. Is he trying to kill me? "
Li Xianyu was anxious, but his face was calm. "Don't worry. I'll go check the district's surveillance later."
He let go of his adoptive mother's hand and rushed to the bedroom. After a few steps, he turned back and tore his adoptive mother's ponytail. He said angrily, "How many times have I told you, don't tie your hair like this. Don't tie your hair like this."
The end of her hair was tied with a rubber band, and it rested on her left shoulder.
His adoptive mother looked at her son's back blankly. She didn't know why he was so angry. It was as though he was agitated by her hairstyle.
Li Xianyu entered the bedroom. It was clean and tidy, and the bedding was neatly folded. There were no signs of resistance. Of course, if someone really wanted to use his adoptive father to threaten him, he wouldn't even have time to react.
He knocked his forehead twice, opened his spiritual eye, and observed the bedroom inch by inch.
He was checking to see if any beasts had entered the house. The aura of a blood descendant was very strong. His adoptive father only lost contact today, so the aura shouldn't have disappeared in time. If a beast had entered, there would definitely be an aura left behind.
Aura was something that couldn't be erased. Every living thing in the world had their own unique smell. You could use a stronger smell to cover it up, but you couldn't erase it.
Regardless of whether it was the bedroom or the living room, there were no abnormalities. No blood descendant had visited the house.
"What are you looking for?" his adoptive mother asked.
"Nothing, mom, just go to work normally. I'll look for dad."
"You're just a kid, what do you know? Mom will bring you to the district's property management. Let's go check the surveillance. " His adoptive mother called for her son not because she wanted to rely on him, but because her husband had suddenly disappeared. She definitely had to inform her son, so the whole family could think of a solution.
Her heartless daughter was still out of town, so she didn't call. Distant water couldn't put out a nearby fire, so there was no point. After 24 hours, they could report the case and she would call her daughter.
"Then let's go together." Li Xianyu thought about it and nodded.
