Chapter 160: Chapter 162: News of the Parents, Part 1

Fang Yi did not disturb Cai Qin, letting her take the call, but during this process, Fang Yi noticed that Cai Qin’s expression was changing dramatically. After a while, Cai Qin put away her phone, looking at Fang Yi with shock and bewilderment.

"I’m really curious about who your backer is," Cai Qin said, staring at him, as if re-evaluating him.

Fang Yi responded with a faint smile, "I don’t have a backer."

Cai Qin snorted and said, "I don’t believe that for a second."

Fang Yi asked, "Did you get some news?"

There was a sly glint in Cai Qin’s beautiful, ripple-like eyes as she said, "I’m not telling you. You can guess for yourself." Then, Cai Qin turned and walked away, not giving Fang Yi another chance to speak.

Damn, one day I’m going to strip you down to a little lamb and see how high and mighty you act then. Fang Yi spat out contemptuously, just when his own phone started ringing.

Seeing the caller ID, Fang Yi’s expression suddenly became extremely odd, and then he answered the call.

"Old man, what made you think to call me?" Fang Yi said.

"Not much, just kind of missed you," the old man at the other end spoke in a strange tone.

"It’s my money you’re missing, isn’t it?" Fang Yi retorted.

"Listen to you talk, do you think I’m that crass?" the old man asked righteously.

Fang Yi broke into a sweat and silently thought, in the whole world, if you called yourself the second most vulgar, no one would dare to claim the first.

"Alright, alright, I’m feeling pretty annoyed right now, so I’m hanging up," Fang Yi said impatiently.

"Kid, seems like you’ve been hit hard," the old man’s voice was full of schadenfreude.

Fang Yi hesitated for a moment and then asked, "How did you know?"

"The old man has eyes and ears everywhere, you still don’t believe it, huh? I heard you broke the legs of a young member of the Fang Family?" the old man at the other end said.

"Yes."

"Well done!" The old man praised enthusiastically, his emotions particularly stirred.

Fang Yi rolled his eyes and said, "I also think it was well done, very satisfying. But now, I’m destined not to stay in Xuan Cang any longer."

"Are you afraid of the Fang Family’s revenge?" the old man asked.

Fang Yi replied, "The Fang Family is so damned powerful, I’m not their match yet—I have no choice but to make a run for it."

The old man said nonchalantly on the phone, "No need to run. I’ve taken care of things with the Fang Family. They won’t bother you for three years, as long as you stay out of Tianjing."

Fang Yi was stunned and then said, "Old man, what’s going on? Explain this to me clearly!"

This time the old man didn’t keep Fang Yi in the dark. Over the phone, he explained that almost immediately after Fang Yi left the villa, he had found someone to intercede with the Fang Family and made a vow that Fang Yi would not go to Tianjing for three years.

That was the simple truth of the matter, just like that, settled by the old man’s intercession.

What kind of background did this old man have? How could he be so powerful? Suddenly, something clicked in Fang Yi’s mind, and he said, "Wait, what do you mean by keeping me from Tianjing for three years? I never planned to go to Tianjing in the first place."

"What if I told you that your parents are in Tianjing?" the old man answered.

A muffled thunderclap exploded inside Fang Yi’s head at that moment.

His parents were in Tianjing!

They were actually in Tianjing!

One of the main reasons Fang Yi had returned to Xuan Cang, aside from promising the old man to protect Shen Binnan, was exactly this—he had not expected his parents to be in Tianjing.

"Old man, where in Tianjing are they? Tell me, tell me right now!" Fang Yi shouted into the phone. He wished he could set off for Tianjing immediately; as for staying out of Tianjing, that was all nonsense!

"See? I just mentioned it and you’re already tempted. Do you want to know?" The old man’s voice was still very calm.

"Of course I want to know! I’ve been dreaming about it!" Fang Yi ground his teeth.
