"I can’t leave, I still need to search for..."
"Search for what! If there was an ambush, it would have co out by now. Later, your father will start to worry." Li Yan forcibly pulled her outside.
Li Jie always thought that her father had been tricked upstairs by them under the pretense of a fight, only to be shot and killed. What she ant by searching was to search for her father’s body. Li Yan’s words, "search for what!" turned her sadness into anger. But hearing the next sentence, she was stunned.
"What did you say?"
"Your father, Li Chengfeng, he’s still down there looking for you. Let’s et him quickly and leave this place!" Li Yan had already pulled her out, quickly heading to the staircase.
"You an... my dad’s not dead?"
Li Yan didn’t know she was misled on that part and thought she was just worried that Li Chengfeng was beaten up by him and ended up dead. He could only chuckle awkwardly, "The bastard who hit your dad was . Can’t you trust my character? At most, I just taught him a little lesson, how could he be dead?"
Upon hearing that her father wasn’t dead, Li Jie felt much relieved and quickened her pace to run downstairs with him. But after hearing Li Yan’s explanation, she couldn’t help but stop again, staring at him.
"Uh, don’t look at like that... After coming out earlier, I noticed soone was following us. So while we were strolling, I used the mirrors to get a clear look at who was tailing us. When we got here, I stepped out to buy snacks and first dragged that person following us to the staircase and knocked him out. I thought it was those people...
But now, your dad and I can consider ourselves as having t through a fight. Actually, he deliberately called to get you out first. He figured I would feel awkward going out with you after hearing he was your dad, so he waited for at the restroom. He wanted us to privately resolve the misunderstanding first. It’s all fine now, we even had a smoke together and looked for you together."
"You... you..."
Li Jie wanted to bla him for a few things but found herself speechless! There hadn’t been any introduction, so how could he know that was her dad? And why was Dad following us so sneakily?
In truth, she was conflicted, having just thought her father was dead, but now hearing he’s fine after just taking a beating. And that beating had already shocked her earlier, so she wasn’t very angry about it, more relieved.
"Forget it, let’s quickly find him, lest he runs into those people again!" Li Jie was worried, the bond between father and daughter strong—Li Chengfeng worried about her, and now she worried about his safety.
They were already on their way back, and Li Yan wasn’t in a rush. Instead, he took out Li Jie’s phone and dialed Li Chengfeng’s number.
"Hey, where are you now? I found Li Jie... the first floor? Okay, we’re heading over... Don’t hang up? Do you want to talk to Li Jie?"
Li Yan talked on the phone while following Li Yan ahead. At the escalator entrance, they looked over into the first-floor lobby and spotted Li Chengfeng.
Seeing that his daughter was indeed fine, Li Chengfeng was imdiately relieved. "Alright, I don’t look good letting Xiao Jie see , it affects your relationship. Besides, I’ll be the third wheel in this. You guys go date then! Take Xiao Jie to have fun... uh, have a romantic ti. Eat, shop, or whatever, as long as you’re cautious, I won’t interfere!"
Li Yan was sweating bullets, this quirky old man, at it again!
"My dad?"
"Yeah, he’s downstairs, I saw him. It looks like he wants to head back first. You should talk to him!" Li Yan quickly handed the phone to Li Jie.
