Chapter 288: Chapter 288 Taking You to Meet Grandpa_1

Hai Xiaotang roughly tore her hand out of his grasp, not wanting to utter a single word, and immediately sought to distance herself from him.

“I can take you to see Grandfather!” Dongfang Yu abruptly announced.

Hai Xiaotang abruptly stopped her departure, turned around and said, “What did you say?”

“I can take you to see him.” He retorts with a heavy repetition.

“Where is Grandfather? How is he doing?” Hai Xiaotang hastily inquired.

Dongfang Yu replied cryptically, “If you want to know, get in the car. I’ll take you.”

“No need!” Hai Xiaotang brusquely rejected his offer, “Just tell me where he is, I’ll go there myself.” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

“Without me taking you, you won’t be able to see him.” Dongfang Yu ended the conversation by opening the car door for her, waiting for her to get in.

Hai Xiaotang did not want to be alone with him, but her desire to see her grandfather left her no choice but to compromise.

However, her attitude towards him remained frigid throughout the journey, refusing to utter a word to him.

Indeed, her attitude could be described as estranged. It was as if she had considered him a complete stranger.

Dongfang Yu felt a suffocating misery deep within his chest, and kept their car moving at a painfully slow pace.

He wished that the road would stretch into eternity, never finding an end…

Yet, no matter how slowly he drove, they ultimately arrived at their destination.

They reached a rather covert prison in C City, a place few knew of. Almost all detainees here were categorized as political prisoners.

When Hai Xiaotang exited the car and gazed upon her surroundings, she felt a deep pang of bitterness within her heart.

Was her grandfather detained here?

“Follow me.” Dongfang Yu took the lead, and Hai Xiaotang followed him, each step heavier than the last.

At last, under his guidance, Hai Xiaotang was about to meet her grandfather.

The police officers arranged for them to meet in a room, Hai Zhiyuan was already seated inside when Hai Xiaotang walked in.

His hair had gone significantly greyer, and he was dressed in a dull grey padded jacket. Nonetheless, his gaze towards her remained gentle and affectionate.

“Grandfather–” Hai Xiaotang ran to him, embracing him tightly.

Tears trailed down her cheeks uncontrollably, as if she was a child who’d been subjected to various injustices.

Hai Zhiyuan’s eyes welled up with tears as he gently patted her head, “There, there, stop crying. Grandfather is fine, don’t worry, I’m alright.”

Suddenly, Hai Xiaotang released her grandfather and fell to her knees, “Grandfather, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault, I’m sorry!”

Hai Zhiyuan was taken aback, “Xiaotang, what are you doing? Get up.”

“Grandfather, it’s all because of me that this happened to you. I’ve ruined everything!” Hai Xiaotang was overwhelmed by guilt, “Grandfather, what should I do to get you out? Please tell me, I swear I will get you out…”

Hai Zhiyuan seemed to understand what she meant. Gently patting her head, he said, “Get up. This isn’t your fault. Sit down, I will explain everything slowly.”

Hai Xiaotang nodded and took her seat opposite him, putting a table between them.

Seeing her gaunt face and tear-streaked eyes, Hai Zhiyuan’s heart ached, “Ah Xiaotang, don’t cry anymore, and stop blaming yourself. I’m really alright. Look at me, am I not fine?”

Hai Xiaotang murmured, shaking her head, “No, it’s not fine! I know this place is unbearable, you must have suffered a lot here, Grandfather.”

Hai Zhiyuan’s laughter surprised her, “I really haven’t suffered that much. Moreover, this is a punishment I deserve.”

Hai Xiaotang was stunned, “Grandfather, what do you mean?”

“Did Ayu tell you about my past deeds?”

Hai Xiaotang was perplexed and dumbstruck, “Grandfather, are you saying that you actually…”
