CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 388: REGRETTING TOO LATE

Yun Haichao rambled on.

Yun Muxue listened with sobs, not interrupting, unsure of what to say. After so many years of no contact, she had forgotten how to start the conversation.

"Seeing you all doing well now puts my mind at ease," Yun Haichao said with a smile, standing up.

"Dad~" Yun Muxue called him awkwardly, not sure what Yun Haichao was planning to do.

"Ni’er." Yun Haichao looked at her.

Looking at his daughter who was taller and stronger than him, he showed a benevolent face.

"Don’t resent me."

"No..."

Yun Muxue shook her head, trying to speak but unable to say anything.

However, at this moment, she saw Yun Haichao walking towards the outside of the shop.

"Dad~, where are you going?"

Yun Muxue stood up somewhat frantically and chased after him; this time, her call for "dad" was much smoother.

But when she reached the entrance of the shop, her father was nowhere to be seen.

She hurried a few steps forward, onto the sidewalk, looking left and right. There weren’t many pedestrians on the road, which allowed her to survey the area quickly, but her father was nowhere in sight.

"Dad~" Yun Muxue hurriedly called out.

Hu San who came out with her also frantically started to search.

But there were very few people around, almost as if he had vanished into thin air.

By then, Yun Muxue had calmed down a bit and returned to the shop with Hu San.

They then noticed the wine poured for Yun Haichao hadn’t been touched at all, and the food he took was still in the bowl.

"He must still blame me," Yun Muxue choked up.

"Not at all, didn’t the old man just say he doesn’t blame you?" Hu San hurriedly comforted her.

Still, Yun Muxue was profoundly distressed.

Yet, what worried her even more was the safety of Yun Haichao.

"He’s so old, where could he have gone alone, did he come by himself or with someone else..."

"I... I’ll give a call and ask," suggested Hu San.

Hu San was not entirely out of touch with the people in the village; however, due to various events and obsolete communication tools, etc.,

Only one contact remained, Tian Kuohai, but even that was after many years without contact, not knowing if the call would go through.

The two rummaged and eventually found an old notebook at the bottom of the counter.

The notebook contained several phone numbers, mostly landlines.

Nevertheless, they found Tian Kuohai’s cell phone number.

So, Hu San immediately dialed the number.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Is this Kuohai? It’s me, Hu San."

"Hu San?"

"Yes, it’s me, is this Kuohai?" Hu San asked tentatively.

Since it had been so many years since they had been in touch, and he wasn’t sure if the contact had changed its phone number as his had also been changed.

"It’s me, why suddenly thought to call me?" Tian Kuohai asked.

Hu San sighed in relief.

Since the call was on speakerphone, Yun Muxue quickly approached and asked: "Kuohai, I want to ask you something."

"Oh, it’s sister-in-law, tell me," Tian Kuohai said.

"Are things at home okay? Could you help me check who my dad came to Qionghai with, if there are any contact details..."

"Wait a minute," Tian Kuohai interrupted Yun Muxue.

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? The old man passed away six months ago," Tian Kuohai said.

"Stop talking nonsense, Kuohai, don’t joke with my sister-in-law. He was just in my restaurant, eating with us." Yun Muxue said somewhat unhappily.

"Who is joking with you? The old man really passed away half a year ago. I even thought about giving you guys a call to inform you, but the person who answered the phone wasn’t you guys, they said the number had changed, and I couldn’t get in touch with you..."

"Kuohai, are you serious about what you said?"

Hu San saw that Yun Muxue’s expression was off, and hurriedly took over the conversation.

"Of course, I’m serious, do you think I would joke about this? I’ll give you the second brother’s number, you can contact him yourself, it’s been so many years..."

Hu San and Yun Muxue both felt their heads buzzing, they didn’t clearly hear what Tian Kuohai said afterwards.

Yun Muxue leaned against the counter, it took her a while before she hurriedly rushed to the table where they were eating, looked at the untouched dishes and drinks in front of Yun Haichao, and seemed to suddenly understand something.

"It’s all my fault, I’m unfilial, dad, big brother..."

Yun Muxue muttered, filled with regret.

"The store will not open now; we will go back tomorrow." Hu San came over and said.

Yun Muxue seemed to find an outlet, and began hitting Hu San’s chest forcefully with her hands.

"It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault..."

Hu San winced in pain, and didn’t dare to retaliate, but Yun Muxue only hit a few times before finally stopping, then she sat down on a chair, wrapped her arms around Hu San’s waist and started crying loudly.

Meanwhile, Shen Siyuan had already checked into the hotel.

Dou Dou and Duoduo were jumping on the bed, treating it like a trampoline.

And Shen Siyuan was on the phone with Huang Yuntao.

He had given him his contact information before because he needed help with some matters.

"Hello, where are you? Why is it so noisy?"

Hearing the deafening noise through the phone, Shen Siyuan frowned.

"Brother Shen? Ah, Brother Shen, you finally called me, everyone quiet down, quiet... quiet..., Brother Shen, hold on a moment, I’ll go outside to talk to you..."

"I’m drinking outside with friends, it’s a bit noisy, Brother Shen, please don’t hang up..."

Huang Yuntao rambled and quickly found a quieter spot.

"Are you in Qionghai right now?"

"Still here, still, I’ve been waiting for Brother Shen." Huang Yuntao quickly said.

"Did you find the person I asked you to look into?"

"Found them long ago, where are you now? I’ll come over and give you the details." Huang Yuntao quickly said.

In fact, the thing Shen Siyuan had asked him to look into could have been sent via mobile phone, there was no need for a personal delivery, obviously, he had other motives.

"That’s fine then, come to Hailong Hotel tomorrow." Shen Siyuan said.

"I’ll come over now." Huang Yuntao quickly said.

"Why come now, I need to sleep."

"Right, I forgot, then I won’t disturb your rest. I’ll come find you tomorrow morning." Huang Yuntao quickly said.

"Take it easy, don’t exhaust yourself." Shen Siyuan said.

"How could I..."

Huang Yuntao hadn’t finished speaking when he realized the call had ended.

He could only sigh helplessly.

"Brother Tao, who are you hiding here calling?"

"Get lost, don’t snoop into things you shouldn’t..."

Huang Yuntao was a clever person; he hadn’t told anyone about Shen Siyuan’s matters.

After Shen Siyuan hung up the phone, he placed the three little fellows into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, letting them romp around inside while he washed up and went to bed, spending a quiet night.

However, when he came down to the hotel lobby the next day.

Not only did he find Huang Yuntao sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for him, but there was also an unexpected person waiting for him.

PS: That’s it~,
