Chapter 2033: Demonstration (4)

Dongfang Liuyun’s silence revealed a lot of information.

Dongfang Gan naturally knew his own daughter best.

The last time he woke up, Dongfang Gan only had time to ask Dongfang Liuyun to save Qi Lei. He did not have time to explain the specific situation either. Looking at Dongfang Liuyun’s reaction now, it was likely that the news was not great.

“Did you not find him?” Dongfang Gan asked in a deep voice.

Dongfang Liuyun took a deep breath and handed the water in her hand over. Dongfang Gan accepted it, but his gaze was still on her face.

“I sent many people to look for him, but there’s still no news from him. Father, what happened to you?”

Dongfang Liuyun’s uneasiness in his eyes made Dongfang Gan’s heart ache.

“Liuyun, I’ve let you down. Qi Lei was there because of me... when the riot happened, I was indeed nearby. I didn’t expect it to happen so suddenly. I originally planned to discuss the signing of the contract with the client, but the other party reneged on it that night. The signing of the contract wasn’t completed. Then, the middleman introduced another new mine. I planned to take a look personally and inspect it. Then, I ran into this whole thing.”

“Actually, in the past, I already felt that there was something fishy going on. I vaguely sensed that someone had set me up, so I asked Ah Fei to stay behind and bring a few people over myself. Later, when the riot happened, I was also taken hostage by those people, but I...”

“The whole thing was premeditated from the beginning. It was just that someone seized the opportunity in time and utilised the riot!”

Before Dongfang Gan could finish his sentence, Dongfang Liuyun had already added on.

“That’s right. I wanted to escape, but there were quite a number of them. They were all fugitives. A few of them who were caught with me were killed on the spot because they escaped. If it wasn’t for my identity, I think it would be difficult for them to escape this fate.”

Dongfang Gan still had lingering fear when he mentioned this.

“How did Qi Lei find you then?” Dongfang Liuyun asked.

“It’s strange. I remember that someone said that it wasn’t safe to stay there because the information had been leaked. We had to move places, so that night, we were chased onto a ship and moved overnight. I didn’t want to run into the patrol police when we were moving past Sancha Bay. The thugs were in chaos and immediately opened fire on the police. Qi Lei should have been nearby at the time. I think he must have come with the police. The dozen or so patrol officers were no match for the thugs. It didn’t take long for them to be taken care of. The boat changed direction and headed northwest. Then, we ran into Qi Lei on the narrow road ahead... he should have been waiting there...”

At this point, Dongfang Gan’s expression suddenly turned silent. His black eyes were filled with pain...

“When the two boats collided, I finally saw the person who suddenly pulled me into the water. I was already shot. When we jumped into the water, we were discovered by those people and shot at us. It’s my fault for not moving fast enough. Qi Lei was shot then, in the chest. When he fell, the surrounding water was dyed red. I wanted to pull him back, but I had no strength. I just watched him sink to the bottom of the river...”

Before Dongfang Gan could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand. It was so hot that it felt like it was about to burn. He focused his eyes on it and realized that Dongfang Liuyun...

“Father, do you think he’ll make it out alive?”

Dongfang Liuyun could no longer listen to him. Her hoarse voice was heard and she did not raise her head to look at Dongfang Gan.

Dongfang Gan was silent...

Dongfang Liuyun finally covered her face with her hands as if she was on the verge of breaking down...

Dongfang Gan watched silently. There was guilt, pain, and sadness on his face...

However, he did not know what he could say now.

“He won’t leave just like that. I can feel that he’s still here. He must still be here. Father... since someone saved you, someone must have saved him too. There were so many people there at that time. Someone must have seen him fall into the water. He knows how to swim. Perhaps he swam to the shore by himself? It’s possible that the fishermen nearby would have gone back. Father, say something, could that be the case?”

Dongfang Liuyun tried hard to think of all kinds of possibilities, but seeing Dongfang Gan’s silent face, she felt the temperature in her heart cool down bit by bit.

“Calm down, Liuyun! I don’t know what possibilities exist. As long as he’s not found yet, it means that there’s still hope.”

Dongfang Gan took a deep breath, and his eyes turned slightly red.

Dongfang Liuyun clenched her fists. After a while, she raised her hand to wipe away the remaining tears in the corner of her eyes. “Father, do you have any guesses who did this?”

“You...”

“If anything happens to Qi Lei, I’ll definitely send him to hell!”

“Calm down. The situation isn’t clear yet, and I can only guess some possibilities. He knows my whereabouts and purpose like the back of his hand. He must be an insider. How are your mother and your grandmother?”

Dongfang Gan changed the topic.

“Grandmother...”

Hearing Dongfang Gan ask about Dongfang Shuman, Dongfang Liuyun’s heart suddenly tightened.

“What’s wrong? Before I left, I know that your grandmother was not in great health. A few days ago, I called her and she didn’t want to pick up. She must still be blaming me and your mother.”

Dongfang Gan did not know that Dongfang Shuman had passed away. Now that he brought this up, there was clearly a hint of helplessness in his tone.

However, the truth at this moment made one feel extremely pained.

Dongfang Liuyun’s indifferent lips moved, but she could not say a word for a long time.

“Is she doing very poorly?”

Dongfang Gan saw Dongfang Liuyun’s reaction and felt anxious. He coughed a few times and affected his wound. His face immediately turned pale.

“Father, how are you feeling?”

Dongfang Liuyun did not care about anything and quickly helped him up.

Dongfang Gan raised his hand. “I’m fine. What happened to your grandmother?”

“Grandmother’s passed away, the funeral has just ended.” Dongfang Liuyun said in a daze. Her voice was inevitably tinged with sobs.

“What did you say?!”

Dongfang Qian widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at Dongfang Liuyun.

“Too many things happened while you were unconscious. Father, if you didn’t wake up, Mother and I might not be able to hold on any longer... Grandmother passed away, she had been very weak to begin with. The doctor had already said that she might not be able to last through this year. It’s just that Grandmother didn’t tell us...”

After Dongfang Liuyun said these words, Dongfang Gan fell into silence again. He looked a little absent-minded. He did not hear what Dongfang Liuyun said after that. Even after Dongfang Liuyun called out a few times, he did not feel anything...

Dongfang Liuyun did not disturb him any further and quietly left the ward. She only asked the special nurse to take care of him at all times.
