Capítulo 916: Chapter 918: Pre-recorded Audio Elder Su quickly stepped forward, grasping Lin Dong’s hand as he anxiously asked, “I heard from the director that Xiao Hu is sick, and it’s quite serious. What happened?” It must be admitted that Lin Dong is a master of acting. When he heard Elder Su mention Xiao Hu’s name, a trace of sorrow flickered across his face. “Alas, Xiao Hu is fortunate to have Boss Su’s concern. Xiao Hu mistakenly ingested something, causing his trachea to be blocked, and he’s been hospitalized.” Lin Dong sighed, his head lowered, preventing Elder Su from seeing the hint of schadenfreude in his eyes. Upon hearing this, Elder Su became even more anxious, “Mistakenly ingested? How could that happen? How are you people at the orphanage taking care of the children?” Lin Dong pretended to raise his gaze, feigning confusion as he looked at Elder Su and asked, “Boss Su, why are you so worked up? Kids eating carelessly is quite normal.” “Normal? What’s normal about it?” Elder Su was slightly agitated. He’s lived this long and has only this one son. Although he can’t allow him to shine brightly in public, he’s still a treasure in his heart. Leaving him in the orphanage already unsettled him, and now the child ended up with a problem under their watch. What’s more infuriating is the orphanage staff’s apparent indifference! It was really driving him to rage! “Tell me, Boss Su, I’ve always been curious, with so many children at our orphanage, why do you favor Xiao Hu so much?” Lin Dong suddenly asked. Elder Su’s gaze evaded momentarily. Due to Lin Dong’s words, he recovered some of his composure, lightly coughing as he spoke, “Nothing much, I just find Xiao Hu somewhat well-behaved and pleasing.” “By the way, where is the child? Where is Xiao Hu now?” Elder Su inquired. Then, he realized the orphanage was eerily silent, devoid of the usual sounds of children’s play that would normally be heard at this time in the courtyard. “This seems unusual, where are the children here?” Elder Su curiously asked. Lin Dong responded with an “oh” and quickly explained, “Here’s the situation: our orphanage director received complimentary tickets from a kind-hearted individual and took the children to the cinema to watch a movie.” Elder Su hadn’t yet noticed anything unusual, nodding slightly, “Then, what about Xiao Hu? Where exactly is Xiao Hu? Can I see him?” “Xiao Hu is at the hospital now, Sister Liu Yue is with him.” With Lin Dong’s explanation, Elder Su had no reason to suspect anything, “If you want to see him, should I take you there now?” For origınal chapters go to 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩 Elder Su nodded repeatedly, “Good. Take me there now. By the way, I drove here, we can drive over, it’s faster.” Lin Dong shook his head, “No need, it’s not far, just ahead.” Elder Su looked at him puzzled. The orphanage was in the suburbs. He didn’t recall any hospital nearby. “Oh, it seems Elder Su hasn’t been here for a while. Just ahead, a new hospital has opened. Although it’s not large in scale, it’s a branch of the First Hospital, meant to serve the surrounding rural community for convenience.” Lin Dong really admired his own lying skills, even considering recording himself and playing it back for Lin Zhao to hear. Tsk tsk, he’s even thinking it’s a pity he’s not pursuing acting. Elder Su was too concerned about the child’s safety to doubt Lin Dong’s words. Lin Dong led the way, with Elder Su closely behind. “Boss Su, I heard from the director before that you seem very attentive to Xiao Hu. Since you’re so dedicated, why not adopt him?” Lin Dong feigned curiosity asking. Elder Su chuckled awkwardly, “It’s crossed my mind, but many things aren’t as simple as they appear. Having Xiao Hu by my side isn’t very appropriate.” Lin Dong responded with an “oh”, then refrained from asking further. He continued walking forward, soon reaching their designated spot. Suddenly, Elder Su halted, his gaze fixated ahead, softly but sternly questioning, “Who? Who’s there?” Lin Dong heard this and immediately became anxious, fearfully sidestepping, nervously looking at Elder Su and asking, “Boss Su, what’s happening?” Elder Su slightly shook his head, “Lin Dong, just step aside for now.” Lin Dong complied, taking a small step back. “Come out, I’ve already seen you.” Elder Su stared directly ahead. It was so dark here that without the faint streetlights, he couldn’t even see the road ahead. Elder Su’s gaze was fixed ahead, soon seeing a familiar figure flicker out from behind the trees. More accurately, it floated out. Elder Su’s heart skipped a beat, “Long Er?” Long Er didn’t speak, approaching softly as if he had no feet, floating slowly forward. “You’re not dead?” Elder Su’s mind was riddled with suspicion, yet seeing Long Er now, he couldn’t help but sneer, “Huh, as I’ve said, no one can survive my Thunderclap Palm. Long Er, you’re dead, what are you doing seeking me out?” According to the audio Long Er had pre-recorded, his ethereal voice began drifting through the night. “Elder Su, why did you kill me?” “Elder Su, why did you kill me?” “Su Chang, why did you kill me?” This question lingered in the air like a cursed chant, irritating Elder Su! “Why kill you? Don’t you have a count in your heart?” Elder Su snorted coldly. Aware of Lin Dong nearby, he didn’t want to say more. He swung a hand, intending to strike Long Er away, but the True Qi he unleashed bounced back as if hitting a wall, unable to approach Long Er’s body. “Elder Su, are you afraid to say why you killed me? Are you worried that if you speak here, my resentment will target your child?” Long Er’s haunting voice echoed again. Elder Su tightly pursed his lips, “Long Er! What nonsense are you spouting!” “Xiao Hu is actually your child, isn’t he? Xiao Hu is actually your illegitimate son outside, right? Do you know why I’m here?” Long Er sneered. This made Elder Su feel a chilling sensation down his spine. His gaze was fixed on Long Er, “Every grievance has its instigator, every debt its owner. I killed you, come find me directly! If you dare harm Xiao Hu, I’ll make your soul scatter, unable to reincarnate!” “Ha-ha-ha-ha…” Long Er’s demonic laughter floated in the air, truly frightful. Listening to it, Lin Dong shivered. Yet Lin Dong secretly felt relieved, grateful these were pre-recorded audios by Long Er, because he could see sweat beginning to form on Long Er’s cheeks…
