1117: 772 Thank you (one more chapter left) 1117: 772 Thank you (one more chapter left) “Are you leaving or not?”
No response.
Seeing the person not moving for a long ti, the taxi driver muttered sothing, then stepped on the gas and left.
Through the gaps of the bustling traffic, one could clearly see that the Tesla was still parked on the opposite side of the street.
It wasn’t an illusion.
Luo Han, with a mind blank of all thoughts, clenched his hands, dragged his stiff steps, and walked like a zombie on the zebra crossing through the street.
Pulled the door.
Got into the car.
The Tesla started.
The female driver drove quietly, without speaking.
“Catastrophe should not involve family mbers, Miss Hu, please spare Yao Yao.
She really likes you.”
Luo Han spoke hoarsely.
Hu Die’s expression remained unchanged.
While driving, she quietly said, “Why do you do this.
Have you forgotten how you got everything today?”
“I have never forgotten Young Master Fang’s great kindness, but I had no choice.”
The exchange between the two was calm, without any tension or hostility.
“If I hadn’t done this, you probably wouldn’t be able to see now.”
Hu Die’s expression remained unchanged, and she softly said, “What happened abroad?”
Luo Han took a slow breath.
“Miss Hu, you should remind Young Master Fang that we all underestimated that man.
I have been cooperating with the Italian Mafia for many years, but he still turned them against and specifically set a trap to lure out.”
“So this is your reason for betrayal?”
Hu Die said calmly, “Indeed, one who doesn’t act for oneself will face destruction.”
Luo Han didn’t make any excuses; at this point, excuses were aningless.
“Always, I have worked like a horse and an ox for Young Master Fang, without credit, but with hard labor.
I hope Young Master Fang can consider our years of affiliation and show rcy, sparing my daughter’s life.”
He didn’t even plead for himself.
Hu Die remained unmoved, showing an unsettling calm as she drove without turning her head, and responded, “Like you, I am only a lackey; talking to about this is pointless.”
Suddenly, Luo Han beca agitated, raising his voice, “Then take to see Young Master Fang, I will apologize to him in person.”
Hu Die’s lips twitched slightly, “You had that chance.”
Indeed.
If today he had co to Capital City, and his destination had not been Apang Palace, perhaps there might have been a chance for turnaround.
Even if just a sliver.
But now even that slim chance was completely cut off.
Luo Han didn’t go mad from this; instead, he gradually cald down again.
After all, he was a high-flying figure in a lifeti of ups and downs, no ordinary person could compare.
“Miss Hu, I know you are a kind-hearted person, and Yao Yao is still so young, she knows nothing, she is innocent.”
Perhaps it was thinking of that little girl’s face, or perhaps the echo of the adorable and sincere “Auntie Hu Die”, that made Hu Die fall silent.
“Miss Hu, I am begging you.”
Luo Han put down all his pride, at this mont, he was no longer the powerful figure capable of taking lives, just a simple father.
Hu Die didn’t speak.
But Luo Han seed to already sense her attitude, revealing a pure, unadorned smile, muttering, “Thank you.”
The Tesla stopped in front of a five-star hotel.
Hu Die, without saying a word, just handed over a room card.
Luo Han pursed his lips, took it, asked no questions, imdiately opened the door and got out, closing the door as he looked at the woman inside the car, his gaze more peaceful than ever before.
Even amiable.
“Miss Hu, I suddenly feel that in this world, there might really be karma.
If there is another chance, I think I should do so good deeds.”
It wasn’t clear if it was a reminder or a reflection and summary on life.
After he finished speaking, without waiting for a response, this villainous figure closed the car door, and walked towards the hotel composed and calm.
No goodbye was said.
The Tesla stopped by the roadside.
Luo Han did not look back; he went upstairs, swiped his card, and entered the room arranged for him.
A high-end business suite.
Still, basic courtesy was extended to him.
Luo Han looked around the outer hall, then imdiately walked into the bedroom.
Upon entering, it was easy to spot a bottle of water next to the bedside table, with a tissue beside it.
On the clean tissue, a white pill quietly lay.
Luo Han’s expression was calm, he cracked a smile, then walked to the bed, pulled open the curtains, and quietly stood there, enjoying the bustling night view of the Capital City for a while.
A few minutes later, as he gazed at the brilliantly lit city, he took out his cellphone and made a call.
“Has the daughter not gone to sleep yet?”
“Yao Yao.”
A call ca from the other end.
Imdiately, the daughter’s voice ca through the phone.
“Daddy.”
Luo Han, with a tender smile, said, “It’s so late, haven’t you gone to sleep?”
“Mommy is telling a story.
Daddy, what are you doing?”
“Daddy is on a business trip, just got back to the hotel.”
“Daddy, when are you coming back?
Mommy said you’re going to take us abroad for a trip.”
On the other end, Yu Hui, wearing pajamas, lay on her side on the bed, stroking her daughter’s hair, her expression complex.
“Daddy will be back as soon as possible.
If there’s a delay, you and Mommy go first.”
“No, I want to wait for Daddy.”
The little girl pouted.
Luo Han laughed softly, “Yao Yao, when Daddy isn’t around, you have to listen to Mommy, understand.”
“Yao Yao is always obedient.”
“Pass the phone to Mommy.”
“Mommy.”
Yu Hui took the phone from her daughter, adjusted her emotions, still that sa question, “When can we leave?”
“Soon.”
Luo Han paused, then imdiately said, “I’m sorry.”
Silence fell on the other end.
The city lights reflected in Luo Han’s eyes, he spoke softly, “It might be a bit late, but I think, a formal apology to you is necessary.”
Yu Hui, whose life was forcefully changed, did not mock or scorn this ti and glanced at her daughter who began flipping through a fairy tale book.
“I only care about when I can take Yao Yao away.”
“I have set up a fund for Yao Yao, in your na.
This money should be enough for you and your daughter to live a peaceful and worry-free life.”
Luo Han’s answer was unexpected.
“Luo Han, at this stage, don’t you realize it yet?
Yao Yao doesn’t need that money, I can provide for my daughter.”
Although not as wealthy as others, as a professional host, Yu Hui was still stronger than most.
Luo Han didn’t argue, “Rest early.”
Yu Hui hung up the phone abruptly.
Luo Han slowly put down the phone, then stood still and looked at the scenery outside for a while.
He turned around, walked to the bed, and sat down.
He turned his head, looked toward the bedside table, and then picked up both the bottle of water and the dicine on the tissue.
Just like an insomniac taking sleeping pills ordinarily, he mixed it with water, tilted his head back, and swallowed the pill in one go with utter calmness and naturalness.
Imdiately.
The water bottle was placed back on the bedside table.
Luo Han lay down on the bed, slowly closed his eyes, and his expression was serene.
The curtains were not drawn.
Moonlight shone through, illuminating the more than half-full bottle of water, making it clear and bright.
