Chapter 255 Receiving the Young Master's Location
Tan Zhengchu was slightly taken aback; this was the first time he had heard Li Yuzhu talk about her father.
In the past, her father was like a scar in Li Yuzhu's heart, and she never dared to touch it easily.
Li Yuzhu was lost in her past memories, while Tan Zhengchu listened quietly. He understood the pain Li Yuzhu had suffered because of her past relationship. Now, he had long since forgiven his mother, and his heart was filled with more heartache for her.
Tan Zhengchu hesitated for a moment before asking, "Mom, if we find Auntie tomorrow, can you face her calmly?"
He was very worried. Although he didn't know what had happened between them, he could deduce that there must be some conflict between them from the fact that he had never known that Li Yuzhu had a twin sister.
Li Yuzhu tightened her shawl, a faint sadness on her face, but her tone was firm: "Zhengchu, I will forget the past. People always have to move forward and can't live in the shadow of the past forever."
She paused, then continued, "I also regret the things I did to you before. If I could turn back time, I would definitely be a good mother."
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhengchu smiled with relief. He gently patted Li Yuzhu's shoulder and said, "Mom, I'm so happy you're getting better. Yingxue and I will stay with you from now on, and we'll spend the rest of our lives together. You need to know that you still have us by your side."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuzhu slowly withdrew her gaze, looked at Tan Zhengchu, and said, "I understand what you mean, Zhengchu. You must be tired after a long day of travel. Go and rest."
……
The night was as dark as ink, with stars twinkling in the sky.
Xiao Hei, carrying two bulging backpacks, walked through the long corridor, his footsteps particularly clear in the quiet night. He stopped in front of a room at the far end of the second floor and knocked on the door.
"Come in," came Liu Bao's clear voice from inside.
Xiao Hei pushed open the door and saw the two little ones sitting on the windowsill, looking up at the starry sky.
Upon hearing the door open, they both turned around.
"Your bags." Xiao Hei placed the bags on the ground, his tone indifferent.
Liu Bao and Da Bao exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.
"Grandpa's pretty quick," Da Bao said, raising an eyebrow with a hint of teasing in his voice.
Xiao Hei frowned, thinking to himself: Why has the Second Miss become so merciful lately? She wouldn't have let them off so easily before.
“Everything in the bag is there,” Xiao Hei said coldly, his gaze sweeping across the two men’s faces, trying to discern something.
Liu Bao jumped down from the windowsill, walked to the bag, and casually kicked it.
"As long as nothing's missing, I'm too lazy to check." She said casually, as if she didn't care what was in the bag at all.
Xiao Hei was taken aback by her attitude, and his face immediately darkened.
Upon seeing this, Da Bao's lips curled into a wicked smile.
"Xiao Hei, is there anything else?" He deliberately dragged out his words. "If not, please close the door when you leave, and remember to knock."
Xiao Hei's face flushed red instantly, and his fists clenched tightly.
"You—" he gritted his teeth, but dared not retaliate.
The second young lady, Li Yumei, has been exceptionally lenient with these two brats lately, and he dares not disobey her.
"Hmph!" Xiao Hei snorted heavily, turned around, and slammed the door shut as he left.
"Bang!" The door was slammed shut with a deafening roar.
Da Bao jumped off the windowsill, walked to the door, and skillfully locked it from the inside.
"This guy's temper is getting worse and worse." He shrugged, his tone tinged with disdain.
Liu Bao ignored his words, walked straight to his bag, unzipped it, and took out a black watch.
She put the watch on her wrist, and the dial immediately lit up, displaying a series of complex data.
"The tracking watch has started," she said softly, a hint of satisfaction in her voice.
Da Bao leaned over and took a curious look.
"This thing is amazing, only you can use it, right?"
Liu Bao nodded.
"Yes, it will only work if my body temperature and skin texture match."
He raised his wrist, and the time display on the watch face was clearly visible. At the same time, the location information had been silently sent to Tan Zhengchu.
Da Bao walked to the door, pressed his ear against it, and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
"That guy Xiao Hei, is he eavesdropping outside?" he asked in a low voice.
Liu Bao shook his head.
"He's not that smart."
Outside the door, Xiao Hei hadn't gone far.
He stood in the shadows of the corridor, his ear pressed against the crack in the door, trying to hear the conversation inside.
However, the room was completely silent; there wasn't a sound.
"Strange, what are these two brats up to?" Xiao Hei frowned, feeling uneasy.
He waited a while longer, but still found nothing.
"Never mind, maybe I'm overthinking it," he muttered to himself, then turned and left.
The footsteps faded into the distance, and the corridor returned to silence.
Inside the room, Da Bao breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back from the door.
"he's gone."
Liu Bao nodded, his gaze still fixed on the watch.
“We need to be careful from now on,” she whispered. “Grandpa won’t let us off so easily.”
Da Bao smiled, a sly glint in his eyes.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one can bully you."
Liu Bao glanced at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"hope so."
……
The night was deep, and only a dim bedside lamp was lit in the room.
Tan Zhengchu walked out of the bathroom, still covered in warm steam.
He casually picked up a towel and dried his wet hair, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Su Yingxue on the bed.
She lay on her side, her long hair scattered on the pillow, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were not sleeping soundly. A trace of worry lingered on her small face, as if she were preoccupied with something even in her dreams.
Tan Zhengchu's gaze softened, and he sighed softly.
Suddenly, the silence of the room was shattered by the ringing of a cell phone.
Tan Zhengchu frowned, quickly walked to the table, and picked up his phone. He glanced at the screen; it was a call from his third brother.
"Hello?" He answered the phone in a low voice, a hint of displeasure in his tone, "What's up so late?"
The third brother on the other end of the phone clearly sensed his displeasure and quickly explained, "Boss, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but I have important news."
Tan Zhengchu's gaze darkened, and he subconsciously glanced at Su Yingxue on the bed.
Her brows furrowed even more, and she seemed to be disturbed by the phone ringing, so she turned over.
Tan Zhengchu's heart tightened slightly, and his tone became even lower: "Speak."
"Boss, the location information for Da Bao and Young Master Liu Bao has just been sent over." The third brother's voice was tinged with excitement.
Tan Zhengchu paused, his hand still wiping his hair.
His pupils contracted slightly, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes, like a spark suddenly ignited in the darkness.
"Are you sure?" His voice remained calm, but his grip on the phone tightened unconsciously.
"Confirmed, the signal is very clear, I've already checked." The third brother's tone was very confident.
