By the ti Hua Hua finally finished his antics, it was almost dawn. He went ho, fell into bed, and slept deeply. When he awoke, he still didn’t get up. Opening his eyes, he found the sun was about to set. Casually draping a bathrobe over himself, he tied a loose knot at his waist, and stood on the balcony watching the sunset, feeling as if a lifeti had passed.
He still felt a bit groggy, with every sleepy cell in his body clamoring!
His biological clock hadn’t adjusted!
He yawned, with the wind blowing relentlessly!
He did nothing, just quietly gazed at the sky filled with red clouds. Such a sky was completely different from the desolate red clouds in the desert. For a mont, he didn’t know whether he preferred the sunset in the desert or the one in the city.
Thinking back to the despair he felt when he boarded the plane months ago, he actually found it amusing!
And he laughed out loud!
He loved the life he had led these past few months, even if the conditions were tough, from initial resistance to now feeling nostalgic!
Estimating the ti, his brother should co to see him, right? Or give him a call to co to the Gu Family.
Well, forget it, keep sleeping, wait for his brother to call. Surely there will be a feast arranged for him at night, and he shouldn’t be too tired. Once the sun was completely set, Hua Hua fell back onto the bed and went back to sleep.
When he woke up again, it was very dark outside. He looked at the clock overhead; it pointed to ten o’clock at night sharp.
His stomach rumbled with hunger!
What was going on?
Had his brother not called him, or had he overslept and not heard?
Yawning lazily, he found his way downstairs to the fridge. In a house where no one had been living for a long ti, how could there be anything to eat in the fridge? Luckily, there was still an apple in the plastic bag on the table, which he bought last night as a snack.
Just as he was thinking about it, soone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Hey, I knew it, there’s no way they wouldn’t call . I must have not heard it. Here they are again," Hua Hua muttered to himself while going to open the door. But as he opened it, he saw Crimson Shadow slip inside, and the next second, the living room light was turned off by him. Before Hua Hua could react, Crimson Shadow went upstairs, turning off all the lights.
The whole house was instantly plunged into darkness.
Hua Hua, bewildered, asked, "What are you doing?"
"Sothing happened!" was the first thing Crimson Shadow said.
The second: "The master is missing."
"What?"
"Ten hours ago, Young Mr. Nan and Young Master Bai were taken away by the police. I heard it myself. Young Master Hua, you need to leave with first, this place isn’t safe."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t understand a word. Explain it clearly," Hua Hua, usually carefree, suddenly had a different expression, even though it was dark, one could definitely see a wealth of expressions on his face.
"After sending you back to the villa, I took a nap and then went to report to the master. Just as I stepped out, I heard noises outside, a large number of troops had entered the Gu Family, surrounding the whole place. Although they didn’t stir things up, it took half an hour before they left!"
"During that half-hour, they turned the master’s study, his bedroom, the entire Gu Family upside down. Afterward, I asked the butler, and he said they ca with search warrants and took many people away!"
"When I tried to contact Young Mr. Nan again, I found out that he and Young Master Bai had just been taken away."
"Young Master Hua, we must be cautious. You should stay put for now and not go out. No one knows you’re back yet. We used a plane, not a standard port..." Crimson Shadow hadn’t finished before Hua Hua had already pushed the door open and strode out. Crimson Shadow chased after him, shouting, "Young Master Hua!"
