Chapter 568: He Might Not be Your Father
Translator: _Min_ |
After dialing Father Su several times, Su Ci finally got through. “Have you arrived? Let’s meet at the cafe, I’ll send the address…”
His father interrupted him before he could finish, “I don’t have time for the cafe. Come directly to my plane to talk.”
Upon hearing Father Su’s words, Gu Dai felt something was amiss and subtly shook her head at Su Ci.
Seeing Gu Dai’s gesture, Su Ci replied, “The cafe is not far from the airport.”
His father firmly refused, “I have to go abroad for business and don’t have time to waste in some cafe. I’ll wait for you here for ten minutes. It’s up to you whether you come or not.”
With those words, he hung up the phone.
Su Ci stared at the phone screen for a few seconds before deciding, “I’m going to the airport to find him now.”
Gu Dai expressed her disapproval, “He insists on meeting at the plane, perhaps with some ulterior motive.”
Su Ting nodded, “Yes, once you’re on the plane, he might just take you away.”
Su Ci chuckled and shook his head, “Don’t worry, I won’t be in any danger.”
Gu Dai frowned, “Nothing is certain.”
Su Ci, still smiling, said, “Daidai, haven’t you had the king seal off the airport? And with so many troops around, I won’t be in any danger.”
Hearing this, Gu Dai and Su Ting’s alertness eased somewhat, but they were still not completely reassured.
Gu Dai suggested, “There will be other opportunities. Maybe we should let this one go.”
Su Ci firmly shook his head, “If we miss this chance, we don’t know when the next one will be. And you’ll be close by at the airport, able to rescue me immediately if something happens.”
Su Ting started, “But…”
Su Ci had already made up his mind, “It’s getting late, and the plane will leave soon.”
With those words, he turned and strode towards the plane.
Seeing this, Aad said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to a hidden spot near the airport.”
Gu Dai and Su Ting watched Su Ci’s departing figure, wanting to stop him.
Aad, guessing what Gu Dai was thinking, reassured, “Don’t worry. The guards I’ve brought this time are all top experts from within the country. They won’t let him come to harm.”
Su Ci called, “I’m almost at the plane.”
After saying this, he put his phone into his backpack.
Gu Dai hid in a concealed spot and took out a pair of binoculars to watch Su Ci, whispering, “Okay.”
At that moment, a plane landed, kicking up fine dust.
Su Ci squinted his eyes and once the plane door opened, he stepped inside.
Gu Dai and Su Ting, upon seeing the landing plane, became instantly vigilant, their gaze fixed on the plane’s interior.
Upon entering the plane, Su Ci immediately recognized the figure with his back to him as Father Su.
He looked around, frowning, “Is it just you on the plane, no one else?”
His father didn’t answer, and silence enveloped the surroundings.
Su Ci, feeling something was wrong, became increasingly wary, “What are you planning?”
His father chuckled, “You’re my son, I would never harm you.”
Su Ci, hearing his father’s words, remained unconvinced, still harboring a bad feeling.
Noticing the discrepancy, Gu Dai, who had learned about Father Su’s usual behavior from Wang Sui the night before, immediately sensed something was off.
Normally, Father Su would be seated, but now he stood with his hands behind his back, and his feet… they were together.
Together?
Could a man maintain such a posture for so long?
Moreover, according to Wang Sui, Father Su never adopted such a posture.
A thought crossed Gu Dai’s mind – perhaps this man was not Father Su.
Her brow furrowed, she urgently spoke into the headset, “The person in front of you is acting strangely; he might not be your father!”
Hearing Gu Dai’s words through the Bluetooth earpiece, Su Ci was startled and looked at the figure before him with growing suspicion.
If the person before him was not his father, then who was he?
Unable to understand, Su Ci decisively stepped forward to confront the man face to face.
