Chapter 1073: Chapter 1073: You’re Not Fit to Be a Father (Part 3) As the elderly man was escorted inside, the prison guard behind showed no trace of emotion as he spoke, then the two of them left. The esteemed founder of the Ou Group, upon arriving here, loses his name and becomes merely a string of numbers? Ou Mucen stared intently at the person stepping towards him from the doorway. For some reason, the feeling of heaviness in his chest seemed to become increasingly unbearable. “You really came? I thought you’d never come to see me again.” Likewise, Ou Qichang was observing his son, noting that although he’s been watched since his entry, the light in his eyes had no warmth whatsoever, which made him feel somewhat self-mocking and somber. For original chapters go to novel★fire.net Ou Mucen remained silent, just sitting there looking at him. Unable to withstand his gaze, Ou Qichang finally sat down in front of him, bowing his old face: “I asked you to come today, not for anything else, but because I heard your mother was in trouble, so I called you to inquire.” He actually knows about the trouble his mom’s facing? Looks like he’s still well-informed here! Upon hearing this, those piercing eyes of Ou Mucen finally looked away, turning to another direction: “She won’t die, don’t worry.” “That’s good, I’ve been worried that that foolish woman would be implicated because of me!” Ou Qichang sighed in relief upon hearing this. It was indeed the concern for Bai Tingfang’s situation that prompted him to send Ying Hai to call him here, otherwise he truly didn’t plan to meet up, considering how strained things were between the father and son over this matter. Yet after hearing him, Ou Mucen suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly: “Implicated? What do you mean? Is my mother’s incident related to you?” Ou Qichang sighed: “I don’t know if it is related, but since I asked her to go to the Blue Mountain Villa to fetch something for me, I’ve felt uneasy, as if I shouldn’t have involved her.” He actually sent her to Blue Mountain Villa? But wasn’t that villa sealed? Ou Mucen, finally sensing something amiss, leaned forward slightly from his chair, his gaze fixed directly on him: “What’s going on? Why did you send her to Blue Mountain Villa?” How should he explain this to him? Should he tell him he already knew Ye Shen was still alive? Or should he say he’s suspecting that person’s identity? If that were the case, would the misunderstanding deepen, as baseless suspicion would imply he’s shirking responsibility? Ou Qichang, unsure of how to begin, sat there stammering for a long while before hesitantly speaking: “In my previous safe, there were some things I wanted her to retrieve for me.” “Just… the set of Han Dynasty jade ornaments you knew about earlier, and some things… that girl’s mother tucked away inside back then.” Ou Mucen almost blurted out—who’s that girl? Only then did he realize he was referring to Ye Ning, and he sat there motionless: “You mean… there are Ye Family’s belongings in your safe?” Ou Qichang’s face instantly changed, turning pale, then flushed red, reddened and white, as though he was suddenly poked in a sore spot, his expression turning exceedingly miserable.
