Lianyue covered his mouth, while the tears in his eyes seemed to be a string of broken beads dropping through his face. How pitiful!

In fact he had once been angry in the past, but since he had been through all manner of bitter experiences, he came to know that not everything in his life was that simple as he imagined. Thinking of that, he did not blame the Grand Coordinator for being a ‘heartless husband’ and ‘irresponsible father’ hastily. Instead of that, he wanted to make a clear observation on him by the strength of Wu Dahu, and confessed everything after he finally figured out the truth.

He was bound to do that no matter whether he was to end the relation or to meet again.

Seeing that Lianyue was sobbing pitifully with a sorrow look, the Grand Coordinator released the handrail suddenly, and then reached out to patted Lianyue on the shoulder slightly, while sighing heavily, “Im so sorry… for being absent these years…”

At the moment Lianyue felt the soft and feather-weighed weight on his shoulder, he finally couldn’t help but cover his face even tighter and started bawling venting all his grievances right at current moment.

The Grand Coordinator remained silent standing there, as he found that Lianyue finally chilled down, he came to asked while being rather hesitant, “Where… Where was he buried?”

“He is buried right among the winter jasmines back in the mountains, I heard from the residents there that that was the place he love to visit…” Lianyue responded slightly, wiping the tears off his face.

He was choked by his own words when he mentioned about the misery of his femina father.

The Grand Coordinator nodded slightly, no one knew whether he was showing his agreement to Lianyue or just demonstrating that he was just informed.

But just at the moment he caught a glimpse of the belly of Lianyue, he suddenly changed the topic with his eyes sharpened, “Is the child really the one of that barbarian?”

Lianyue paused suddenly with utter bewilderment, but after that he responded without hesitation, “Right, I had been so lonely in this world, and I have to say that he is indeed the one who is such a light in my life, so I never look down upon him before because of his identity, but it turns out… It turns out that he got the same way of thinking like you.”

Noticing that Lianyue’s eyes were full of gloom, the Grand Coordinator wanted to ask further but eventually failed to, instead, he came to ask, “How come you make such a conclusion that the barbarian is trustworthy? Do you really know the fate your child is going to confront in the future?”

Facing this question, Lianyue seemed to be quite childish instead of being shrewd like before, he frowned and answered, “What else will he face? I can raise him up perfectly even I have to make it on my own alone! Things’ve changed, after all. I got money!”

The Grand Coordinator delivered a bitter smile, and then responded in a low voice, “Hope you will never regret when the child is going to be bullied, hurt and insulted by the others in the future.”

Lianyue sneered, “So what? I grew up bullied in my entire life as well, as long as we still can breath, nothing is impossible to get through.”

The extreme attitude of Lianyue failed the Grand Coordinator to say something more, he just opened his mouth slightly but eventually nothing came out. What he did was only to sigh while thumping himself on the chest and coughing.

Seeing that the Grand Coordinator was struggling to make himself relieved from the pain, Lianyue got his fists tightened, it could be seen that his lips were trembling slightly. And then he came to ask in a low voice, “No other ways to alleviate the symptoms?”

As the coughing sound faded away, the complexion of the Grand Coordinator had already become with full redness. He reached out to rub his lips, and then answered in a slow manner, “It’s kind of a chronic disease left years ago, I had visited so many doctors and had tried thousands of medicine, nothing actually worked.”

“Probably it is a divine punishment for me. Right?”

The Grand Coordinator paused, and then fixed his gaze back onto the ground, as if to immerse himself in the memories.

Suddenly, Lianyue seemed to recall something Song Qinghan had once mentioned to him, he chilled down again, and then responded peacefully, “So, what are you going to do with me and Lu Sen?”

The words finally made the Grand Coordinator come back to his sense, he looked at Lianyue carefully, and then uttered all of a sudden, “Promise me, you will never lie to me over this affair, alright? If there is someone threaten you to do so, you can confess to me about that. Even though I had played a role of an irresponsible father for so many years, I want to amend it and compensate and I will even do everything to make that real.”

What he said did touch the deepest emotion hidden in Lianyue’s heart. So, Lianyue’s eyes were again filled with tears which were almost dropping.

“I promise you that I will definitely tell you the truth. Otherwise, I… I will curse the child in my belly that he will never see the sun for sure!”

The Grand Coordinator paused, as if it was rather difficult for him now to say something more. Even though it was not his first time to witness someone cursing his own child for guaranteeing something. But things came to be different when the one who swore was in fact his own son. That was completely different thing.

Lianyue put both his hands on his belly, while murmuring secretly in his mind: You are willing to do everything for me, how ridiculous will I be if I refuse to repay? Since the child is doomed to live without a father, I shouldn’t be accused of being heartless for doing so. Among father and son, I would choose father.

After their conversation finally ended, the Grand Coordinator noticed that Lianyue was shivering slightly there. He glanced around but then sighed heavily, and then responded to Lianyue, “Fine, follow me, I will change another place for you to settle down.”

Yet beyond his expectation, now Lianyue seemed to have changed his mind, he shook his head and answered, “You’re an honest and upright official, people probably will suspect over that if you let me out as a special case, and it must bring something bad to your career. I will settle down here temporarily anyway, tomorrow we will get everything exposed, won’t we?”

Since the Grand Coordinator wasn’t someone who was good at persuading the others, he could only responded, “Alright then, you can stay here for one night. Oh by the way, about that jade-like gadget, I wonder if you place it around your chest or where.”

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Lianyue responded, dumbfounded.

The Grand Coordinator glanced at him and then shook his head, “Nothing, I am just a bit curious, take a good rest yourself.”

Lianyue sank into a deep thought after the Grand Coordinator finally left. With a further consideration, he now suspected that what the Grand Coordinator asked contained a somewhat meaning. Yet since he knew few about the whole affair, he failed to dive deep into it and figure it out.

If he exposed something out of carelessness, he would never know what he would encounter tomorrow on the trial…

A hint of concern burnt between Lianyue’s eyebrows, he sighed slightly and sat down directly on the quilt.

Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu did not know what happened in the prison just then. They just packed their own stuff and prepared to bid farewell to Hening cause they would never know how long they would take to come back here again.

Just as they reached out to open the door, a group of people emerged not afar, and seemingly flocking over the house. They gathered and shouted, “Where is that guy!? Where is that mongrel?! We handed him over to you to get him treated, not hide him away and let him escape!”

Seeing that these people seemed to be the villagers from the village who had been clamoring to burn mixed-race man, Song Qinghan responded in a calm manner, “I was only responsible to treat him, shouldn’t you blame the ones you sent to be in charge of watching him? Don’t trouble me for that, go and ask the other two.”

He scanned around and finally found the trace of Dagou and Ergou. These two softheaded men were right now curling up at the corner with their neck shrunk.

These people did not seem to have a good mood now to have a further talk, they waved their threatening tools in hands, roaring, “That mongrel escaped from your house, who else do you think should be accused for that? You should be the spy who colluded with the enemies and sent him away! Dagou, Ergou, is that true?”

Dagou and Ergou were both completely startled as they were nominated suddenly. They answered out of scare, “Yes! A lot of queer guys came and went in their house, and they seemed to have secret themselves not letting us know. There must be something wrong with them!”
