Chapter 632: 632, Doubt, the unknown enemy is the most terrifying
Hearing this, Li Chengyun’s expression slightly changed, waiting for Shi Yuhuan to continue talking.
Shi Yuhuan sat down across from him, his fingers lightly tapping out a rhythm like a piece of music, “He cautioned me about my grandfather. To be honest, I don’t really understand the meaning of these four characters he wrote. Logically, he supposed to warn Han Qianqian with them. But why did he write it on my hand and claim he was confused? No, I can assure you that he was sober at that time. He meant it for me.”
Li Chengyun’s expression suddenly became serious: “Do you suspect your grandfather?”
Shi Yuhuan didn’t deny it, nor admit it, he simply said, “Some things may be puzzling to those directly involved, but clear to spectators, so I wanted to tell you and hear your opinion.”
Li Chengyun sat upright, “You are referring to the incident when you were ten years old.”
Shi Yuhuan nodded: “Yes! When I was ten, Four Fingers was aiming not at my parents, but at me. I can assure you, the person Four Fingers really wanted to kill was me. It was my father who took that bullet for me.”
Li Chengyun was also confused: “You were just a ten-year-old child then, why would he want to kill you?”
Shi Yuhuan said, “That’s what I can’t figure out. If I could solve this mystery, I wouldn’t have let you take Qinghuan to Q City.”
He paused a moment and continued: “It’s not that I fear I can’t protect Qinghuan myself. The problem is I don’t even know who my enemy is, which is the scariest part. So I worry about her, afraid of being negligent. I don’t want her to be hurt again. Because I don’t know who my enemy is, the only way I can protect her is to make everyone think that she means nothing to me. If she is thought to be unimportant, then she’s safe.”
Upon hearing this, Li Chengyun understood what he meant.
He vaguely understood the doubts inside Shi Yuhuan’s heart. His mind was storming, yet he pretended to be calm and unflustered.
After thinking for a moment, he added: “In your heart, you suspect that the incident back then is related to your grandfather?”
Shi Yuhuan squinted his eyes and pondered, “I am reluctant to believe it. But other than him, I can’t imagine anyone else who could do such a thing under my nose without my noticing.” 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Li Chengyun’s handsome face bore a look of complexity.
He said, “If Four Fingers’ target was you back then, it shouldn’t have been your grandfather. Don’t forget, you are the eldest grandson of the Shi Family. Your grandfather has spent these years searching for you and taking care of you after bringing you back to the Shi Family.”
Shi Yuhuan, with a mysterious smile on his face, looked somewhat puzzled: “That’s exactly why I am reluctant to believe it. I can’t figure out his motive for doing these things. Yet Han Wen’s death reminded me perhaps grandfather might be hiding a secret. None of us knows. Of course, this is just a fleeting thought, I can’t be sure. But I do feel a hint of unease and doubt. Under such uncertainty, I can’t help but wonder what would happen in A City, how dangerous it would be for Qinghuan if it really had something to do with grandfather. Even for the sake of Qinghuan and our unborn child, I cannot lower my vigilance… I cannot be unprepared.”
Li Chengyun solemnly said, “There was a time when I could only watch the foundation painstakingly built by generations of the Li Family decline under my watch. It was my grandfather who gave me a large sum of money, allowing me to turn things around. Although my grandfather frankly told me that he was just making an investment and that I owed him a favor, I sincerely appreciate and respect him.”
