One bombshell after another hit Old Master Si, making his chest feel like it was about to split open. He could barely take it and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He could never have imagined, even if he racked his brains, that the person who would smother him with a pillow and take his last breath would actually be Fifth Brother!
Although Fifth Brother was a bit lovesick right now, he wouldn't be so insane as to harm his own biological grandfather, right?
But his eldest grandson's wife's gossip was never wrong.
Could it be that after Fifth Brother eloped with Luo Nianchu, he was brainwashed by her?
He had lived to such an old age, yet he couldn't even understand the twists and turns of these younger generations!
He was so miserable.
Old Master Si's bloodless lips trembled.
Even though Fifth Brother had treated him like that in his previous life, he couldn't just give up on him now!
Perhaps, after finding him and giving him a good education, he could return him to his kind nature!
Old Master Si immediately pretended to make a phone call. A few minutes later, he stopped Wen Yan, who was about to leave. Xiao Yan, I just got the news. Fifth Brother and Luo Nianchu have eloped.
Wen Yan blinked.
She really felt that the old man Si's intelligence network was comparable to an ancient emperor's intelligence agency.
Everything was crystal clear to him.
Old Master Si, Si Moyan, and Si Jingyi quickly packed their luggage.
When Si Youyou was about to pack her luggage too, she was stopped by Wen Yan. Little Youyou, the birthmark on your face still needs its final course of treatment. You just stay at home obediently these days and don't run around.
Soft and sweet Little Youyou, I can't bear to let her go to such a dangerous place!
Si Youyou felt an itch in her heart.
She was worried about her fifth brother's safety, and she also really wanted to follow her sister-in-law to enjoy the gossip.
Wen Yan gently pinched Si Youyou's fair and soft little face. Be good.
Si Youyou pouted and nodded. Alright, I'll listen to my sister-in-law and stay at home obediently.
Si Yanli had gone to work at the translation institute and couldn't follow them.
Si Luochen and Xia Zhi were heading to a foreign academy to handle graduation procedures. Once finished, the two would return to work in the country.
A trace of regret flashed through Si Luochen's phoenix-like eyes.
What a pity.
He couldn't go with them to eat Fifth Brother's gossip.
...
Luo Nianchu's hometown was located in a remote mountain in Ningfeng Town, Ancheng.
It took more than four hours to fly from Yecheng to Ancheng, and after getting off the plane, they had to take a train for seven or eight hours.
Although the journey was long, Si Yubai was very happy.
He finally didn't have to be separated from Sister Nianchu.
He had never been to the mountains. During their relationship, he had heard Sister Nianchu describe her hometown as having beautiful scenery, being ancient and mellow, and the villagers being very united and simple.
He had long wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle, and the intrigues of the city.
He wanted to live a peaceful and comfortable life with Sister Nianchu.
Even after getting on the train, Si Yubai felt a sense of unreality, as if he were dreaming.
This was probably the boldest and most rebellious thing he had done in his nineteen years of life.
He and Sister Nianchu had eloped!
When boarding the plane, he was actually very nervous and uneasy.
He was afraid his family would come looking for him.
But fortunately, the plane took off, and he and Sister Nianchu also successfully boarded the train.
His family probably couldn't find the address of Sister Nianchu's hometown.
What's more, transportation and communication in the mountains were underdeveloped, so they definitely wouldn't be able to find them.
Thinking of this, Si Yubai's fearful and uneasy heart calmed down a bit.
Luo Nianchu looked at the innocent and handsome young man, a hint of complexity in her eyes. Baibai, will you regret eloping with me in the future?
Si Yubai reached out and proactively held Luo Nianchu's hand, promising solemnly, Sister Nianchu, I will never regret it in my life.
These past few days, when he couldn't contact her, his heart felt empty, as if a piece was missing.
He really couldn't leave her anymore.
As soon as Si Yubai held Luo Nianchu's hand, she quickly pulled it back.
Si Yubai was a bit stunned.
During their relationship, Luo Nianchu said she was a germaphobe and temporarily couldn't have skin-to-skin contact with him.
Si Yubai never thought much about it.
Although he was a vigorous young man, full of youthful energy, he never had any wicked thoughts about her.
Being with her, he felt very warm, fulfilled, and secure.
If she really asked him to do the most intimate things couples do, he might not even be able to do it.
He felt that spiritual comfort between each other was the most important thing.
But right now, when he proactively held her hand, she seemed a bit unhappy.
Luo Nianchu also realized her reaction was a bit extreme. She gently patted Si Yubai's arm. Don't overthink it. I'm just nervous. After all, I'm taking you home, and I'm afraid your family will chase after us.
Si Yubai shook his head. They won't be able to find us.
Luo Nianchu nodded. I'm going to the restroom.
Looking at Luo Nianchu's back as she headed to the restroom, Si Yubai didn't know what he was thinking, but he couldn't help following her.
Luo Nianchu stood in the restroom. The door wasn't closed tightly, and through a small crack, Si Yubai saw that she was washing her hands.
Si Yubai's heart couldn't help but tighten.
Why was she suddenly washing her hands?
Was it because he had held her hand earlier?
Did she hate his touch that much?
Just as Si Yubai was letting his imagination run wild, Luo Nianchu came out.
Seeing Si Yubai standing not far away, she quickly walked up to him. On the way to the restroom just now, a man bumped into the back of my hand. You know, I don't like being touched by strangers.
A strange feeling flashed through Si Yubai's heart.
He inexplicably thought of Wen Yan's words.
She said that deep affection could be faked. She also said that Sister Nianchu didn't want anything else from him, she only wanted his life.
Stop it, stop it.
He couldn't keep thinking like this.
Sister Nianchu was gentle and kind-hearted. During his darkest times on the swimming team, she was always by his side. How could she only want his life?
Seeing that Si Yubai wasn't speaking, Luo Nianchu took the initiative to reach out and hold his hand.
Baibai, I am like a frightened bird right now. I'm really afraid you'll be taken back by your family, and I'm also afraid that when your family finds us, they'll say I kidnapped you.
Si Yubai held Luo Nianchu's hand in return.
He felt a trace of guilt for doubting her just now.
Sister Nianchu, my mother was turned into a vegetative state because of me, my father cheated and has another family outside, and I am not as excellent as my brothers. Even if I'm gone, the Si family won't suffer any loss.
Luo Nianchu held Si Yubai's hand tightly and led him to his seat.
Baibai, in my heart, you are the most excellent. I am different from your family. They don't lack you, but to me, you are the whole world.
A smile appeared on Si Yubai's handsome face.
...
After Wen Yan and her group got off the plane, Si Moyan rented an off-road vehicle.
The journey was bumpy.
Wen Yan looked at the updated information in the gossip system, and she was speechless to the extreme.
Luo Nianchu is quite good at manipulating little puppy boys, wow. What gives her the right to say the Si family doesn't lack him? If they didn't, would the whole family be out here looking for him?
These cannon fodders of the Si family really are more troublesome than the last. Last time looking for Si Luochen, they went to a criminal syndicate, and this time for Si Yubai, they have to head to a human trafficking village.
The Si family was collectively terrified.
What???
They were about to head to a human trafficking village?
