Genius Club-Chapter 580 - 16: Reuniting with Chu Shanhe (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets!)_3

"Lin Xian, I don’t blame you."

Upon hearing this phrase,

Lin Xian couldn’t help but clench his teeth tightly.

His heart twisted in pain.

Chu Shanhe, as expected, had spoken the words that he found most unbearable.

Even if he had been hit or scolded, it would have been easier to bear than hearing these words.

"The day after An Qing’s accident, a woman named Huang Que came with leaders from the National Aerospace Department."

Chu Shanhe looked at Lin Xian, his voice somewhat hoarse,

"That woman bringing the aerospace leaders seemed only to add credibility to her words. She called me into the tea room, just the two of us, and told me about what had happened to An Qing, and... how you jumped from the plane and saved An Qing."

"She said a lot of things I didn’t understand, but in the end, I knew what the outcome was... My daughter disappeared, just like that. You had grabbed her hand in mid-air and descended together, yet An Qing vanished into thin air, leaving nothing behind."

"I asked her many questions, but she couldn’t provide many answers. I was furious, but after all, it was I who had allowed An Qing to take part in this aerospace mission. I knew there were dangers and that An Qing had done something incredible."

"I was heartbroken, the moment I learned An Qing was gone, I felt my world had collapsed. An Qing had said before she left that if other people’s daughters could be sacrificed, then Chu Shanhe’s daughter could as well... It was this phrase that ultimately convinced me, and I signed my name on that official red-headed document."

"But Lin Xian, how could any father endure such a situation? Finally, after a frantic round of questioning, the woman named Huang Que said that you had already gone to investigate this matter. She said you would uncover the mystery, would come to me voluntarily, and give me a response, an answer."

Chu Shanhe’s voice was very soft.

Lin Xian had never heard such a tender tone from him.

It lacked the usual full confidence, the profound strength of before.

After pausing, Chu Shanhe continued:

"So, these days, I did not contact you. Many times, I couldn’t help wanting to call you, but I resisted in the end."

"Lin Xian, since I was willing to entrust my daughter to you, it means I trust you. I have always admired you, regarding you as my own. So I also believe that you will definitely come here looking for me, you will certainly investigate everything thoroughly, and then tell me an accurate answer."

Lin Xian slowly raised his head, meeting Chu Shanhe’s gaze.

"Lin Xian…"

Chu Shanhe continued,

"The moment you jumped from the airplane at 20,000 meters... you had already fulfilled your promise to me."

"At that moment, you were more of a father than a father himself; therefore, you don’t need to feel any guilt now, you can face me without any remorse."

"I, Chu Shanhe, have been through many things in the business world over the years, have seen a lot, and know that there are many phenomena in this world that science cannot explain. My acceptance of these things is a bit stronger than that of Aunt Xiu Ying."

"So... Lin Xian, you don’t need to explain so much to me, I believe every word you say, and also believe in every word you don’t say. I trust that you are a responsible man who will definitely take responsibility for An Qing’s situation to the end."

"Thus, I won’t ask you too much, I only ask you one question."

Chu Shanhe looked into Lin Xian’s eyes, into his soul:

"Is my daughter dead or alive?"

Lin Xian’s eyes were resolute, word by word:

"She is alive."

"Then where is she!" Chu Shanhe shouted.

Lin Xian took two steps forward.

He walked up to Chu Shanhe.

Facing this sorrowful yet strong father:

"Mister Chu, I do not currently know where An Qing is."

"But I promise you with my life, with everything I have,"

He placed his right hand on his chest, looking up at Chu Shanhe:

"[No matter where she is, no matter who she is now! Whether it’s the ends of the earth or through the span of history, even if it means searching every corner of time and the universe—]"

Lin Xian clenched his teeth, his eyes burning:

"[I will definitely bring Chu Anqing back to you!]"

...

Chu Shanhe tensed his body, clenched his fist.

He took a large step forward.

He extended his broad right palm and heavily placed it on Lin Xian’s shoulder:

"A man should keep his word! Do as one says!"

"I, Chu Shanhe, will spend my life going nowhere, wanting nothing else! I’m just here waiting for you, Lin Xian."

Chu Shanhe’s brows were tightly knitted as he looked at Lin Xian:

"I’m waiting for you… to bring my daughter back!"
