Free Web NovelChapter 539: Chapter 539: Face-to-Face Confrontation
"Look at yourself, how are you speaking!"
The old man, though not fond of Elder Kong, was puzzled by how Chi Youyou seemed as if she had swallowed gunpowder.
There seemed to be some story between the two of them.
"Elder Kong, please don’t mind. Shall we go to the lounge and sit for a while?"
"No, I just came by today to see if there’s a suitable project. It’s getting late, and I have things to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now."
Elder Kong glanced at Chi Youyou and rejected the invitation.
The old man raised his eyebrows but didn’t say more, and the group parted ways.
Before long, Chi Youyou and Su Mo walked out of the lounge together, only to be blocked by a black car at the intersection.
"Hello, Miss Chi. Elder Kong invites you to get in the car."
A man in black got out from the passenger seat, opened the back door of the car, and Elder Kong waved at Chi Youyou from inside.
"Youyou."
Chi Youyou was about to step into the car when Su Mo pulled her back.
"It’s okay, Senior Sister."
"If you must go, then I have to go with you!"
Su Mo stepped in front of her but was blocked by the man in black.
"Sorry, only Miss Chi may get in the car."
"If I can’t go, she won’t get in either!"
Su Mo stood firmly between Chi Youyou and the car, refusing to back down.
"Let her come in too."
At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded from inside the car.
Hearing this, the man in black hesitated, stepped back, and motioned for Chi Youyou to enter. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Chi Youyou and Su Mo exchanged a glance and climbed into the car, with Su Mo following closely behind.
Youbao must not be harmed; if anything happened under her watch, she would never forgive herself!
"There was a matter this morning, so I didn’t receive your call."
The car started, and Elder Kong slowly spoke.
Chi Youyou kept her face tight and said nothing.
"What, not speaking now?"
Chi Youyou clenched her little fists, pursed her lips, and after a moment spoke:
"Did you know from the start that even with Amber, we couldn’t save Grandpa?"
"No, I thought you could save him."
It seemed he had overestimated them!
"Was it you who had someone poison Grandpa?"
Poisoning?
Su Mo, sitting to Chi Youyou’s right, raised an eyebrow at these words. So there was such a thing!
No wonder Youbao, who was always kind to others, turned icy cold upon seeing Elder Kong.
Elder Kong shook his head with a smile.
"It wasn’t I who arranged the poisoning; the person who poisoned him came to me."
"Who was the one who poisoned him!"
Chi Youyou’s eyes narrowed sharply; Elder Kong probably had no reason to lie to her.
But even as he said this, she didn’t fully believe him, suspecting it might be a trap.
Chances were, he went to them first, made a deal with someone from the Cheng Family, and ended up with the current situation.
Because...
Only by Grandpa being poisoned would it force Dad and Mom to come back.
"I can’t say."
Elder Kong squinted his eyes; he always had this expression, appearing kind and benevolent.
But his heart was black.
"I originally thought your dad could resolve this poison, but it turns out, after all these years, he’s left all his skills in the mountains. But he did a good job raising those ducks."
"The ducks Dad sent me were taken by you!"
Chi Youyou realized this and cried out, and at the same time, the car suddenly braked sharply, prompting Su Mo to instinctively protect Chi Youyou.
"Elder Kong, someone is blocking the car."
