1421. Mist
"Peacock." A bespectacled, middle-aged man in pajamas walked over with a glass of milk in his hand. "Drink some, it's good for sleep."
"Father …" Peacock smiled and turned back to take the milk. She smoothed her hair that was blown about by the night wind and turned back to stare at the burning Manhattan Bridge.
"Are you still thinking about Tang Yu?" Peacock's father asked softly.
Peacock nodded her head.
Her father walked over and stood next to Peacock. He held the white jade railing of the balcony and said, "Tang Yu is a very, very outstanding young man. I've actually been paying attention to him for a long time. Whether it's his ability, character, or even his appearance, he's a first-class talent. So, not only did I not stop you from pursuing him, I strongly supported you. "
"But sometimes, we have to learn to say no. If we look at the long term, the only person who can accompany you through this period of life is yourself, and no one else. So, don't easily hand your life over to others. Because if that day really comes, your life will be controlled by others. It's not up to you. If there's such a day, even your thoughts aren't your own, then what's the point of your life? "Father said.
"I understand what you're saying, father. But, from the first time I saw Tang Yu, there was a throbbing in the depths of my heart, as if I've been waiting for this person. Do you understand this feeling? It's a feeling that I've loved him my entire life … even though we've only just met at that time, "Peacock said faintly.
Father smiled. "When I first saw your mother, I had the same feeling."
"No … it's not the same … Tang Yu said he's been dreaming. Actually, I've been dreaming too … and in my dream, there's his figure!" Peacock shook her head.
Father patted Peacock's shoulder and said, "I understand what you're thinking, but what you're doing now is very dangerous. Those underground forces aren't people you can control or deal with. Do you think that by contacting an assassin organization and throwing them a few million dollars, they will obediently work for you? You have no idea that I have been cleaning up your mess for the past two days. So, you need to calm down first. "
"Father … you … I …" Peacock suddenly turned his head and looked at his father's kind face. He couldn't help but rush forward and hug him, choking with sobs.
Father patted Peacock's back and comforted him, "For now, we have done what we can. The trouble that Tang Yu has gotten himself into is no small matter. Even I can't find anything even after using my own network, let alone you. There was an old saying in Huaxia, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate." We need to do what we should do and what we can do. Then, we can only wait. Looking at it from another angle, was Tang Yu innocent after getting into such trouble? Behind Tang Yu, how many things are there that you and I don't understand? "
"No, Father, I must save him! If something happened to Tang Yu, he would definitely tell me! Moreover, he has made a promise to me! He said that he will appear in front of me with a brand new attitude! "Peacock said resolutely.
Father sighed and said, "What you need to do now is to have a good sleep. Look at you now, you don't even have shoes on. Is that right? Go back to your room and rest. If there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow. "
Peacock then felt the soles of her feet were cold. She looked down and realized that she didn't even have slippers on. Her thin brown stockings couldn't block the chill from the floor at all. Her pretty face was slightly red. She drank the milk that her father handed over and turned to walk back to the bedroom.
Father looked at Peacock's back and murmured, "I only hope that this new attitude of Tang Yu is not the attitude of a criminal …"
When Peacock returned to the bedroom, she saw the abnormality on the computer! She quickly turned around and carefully locked the bedroom door. She sat in front of the table and looked at the line of words on the computer. 'I can give you the answer.' The signature was Morpheus.
She was stunned and immediately typed a line of words on the keyboard. 'What answer?'
'The answer to why Tang Yu is being hunted.' Soon, another line of words appeared below.
'What do you know? I want to know the answer. What is the price? 'Peacock continued to type.
'There is no price, I can tell you now.' This line of words paused and then quickly began to type again. 'Tang Yu placed something in the living room that destroys the balance. This is something that can destroy the balance of this world. I don't know what it is, the agents don't know, maybe even Tang Yu now doesn't know. '
'Then who knows what it is?' Peacock typed. She had a feeling that this thing might be an earth-shattering key to their plan!
'Tang Yu.'
'Didn't you say he doesn't know?'
'The current Tang Yu doesn't know. But the real Tang Yu knows. '
'Then what should I do? I want to help him! 'Peacock typed anxiously.
'You are not ready, at least not now.' Morpheus replied.
'No! I am ready!!!! 'Peacock typed a long string of exclamation marks to express her determination.
'Tang Yu will come looking for you. Don't let the agents catch him again. Otherwise, he will die.' Morpheus typed.
'You mean, Tang Yu has already escaped?' Peacock's heart was filled with joy.
'Yes, the explosion on the Manhattan Bridge. You saw it too.' Morpheus replied.
Peacock suddenly had a strange feeling. The explosion on the Manhattan Bridge? Escape from the agents' pursuit? This feeling was worlds apart from the life she had dreamed of with Tang Yu! One was the perfect combination of a design director and a corporation's CEO, a perfect match between a talented man and a beautiful woman. The other was a wanted criminal who wandered the world, walking between life and death!! But for some reason, Peacock did not resent this kind of life at all. It was as if she had always thought this was how it should be!
'Why is it like this?' Peacock even felt strange. She had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth. Even in school, because of her outstanding temperament and perfect appearance, she was the center of attention. Why would she be interested in this kind of fighting and killing life?
