Chapter 364: Chapter 388: Avenging the Grudge of Parents, the Son Takes Action!
Even the Dragon King was powerless to bring about change, let alone that young man, Fang Yi?
However, Wu Boqing, who harbored such doubts, found a smile spreading across Liu Danguang’s lips when he looked at him again, and a glint of anticipation seemed to flash in his eyes.
This baffled Wu Boqing completely, as he couldn’t fathom why his old friend would have such great confidence in that young man.
"By the way, Boqing, could you help me inquire when Fang Yi will be leaving Tianjing?" Liu Danguang suddenly asked.
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to see him off."
Wu Boqing nodded; he would be able to fulfill this request for his old friend.
...
Having formally parted ways with the Dragon Team, Fang Yi felt somewhat melancholic. It wasn’t that he had grown fond of the Dragon Team, but rather, he was thinking about the words Zhao Guosheng had said before—had the Dragon Team really become a place of decay?
Fang Yi worried about Cai Qin, who was still in the Dragon Team, and whether she would be tainted.
Just then, his phone rang. Picking it up, Fang Yi saw it was Fang Yuying.
"Hello."
"It’s me, your older sister." Fang Yuying’s tone was as crude as ever, yet somehow warmly comforting.
"Mhm."
"You sound a bit down... tell your sister, did those bastards at the Dragon Team bully you? Who is it? I’ll go sort them out for you!" came Fang Yuying’s wildly fierce yet touching voice through the phone.
Fang Yi chuckled and replied calmly, "It’s hard to explain over the phone, let’s talk in person. Oh, and I want to visit our parents’ graves. Could you take me there?"
After a moment of silence on the other end, Fang Yuying replied succinctly, "Okay!"
Qingling Cemetery.
The evening sun cast a quiet glow upon the land, like layers of sheer gauze, gently cloaking each gravestone in a blush veil, transforming what should’ve been a gloomy and deathly cemetery into a warm place with an air of tranquility.
The cemetery spanned a vast area, but it had few graves. From a distance, the mausoleums were sparse, making the space feel even more expansive.
As he walked into the cemetery, Fang Yi took a deep breath; his heart suddenly raced at the prospect of seeing his parents’ graves, a swirl of emotions he couldn’t name bubbled up—whether it was excitement or anticipation, yet within such feelings, Fang Yi also felt fear.
Yes, an inexplicable fear.
Fang Yi could no longer recall the faces of his parents; he didn’t even retain their images in his memory, which was rather sad.
What was it, if not sadness, to be a son or daughter and not even know what one’s parents looked like?
Perhaps sensing Fang Yi’s mood, a hand as white as jade gently patted his shoulder. Fang Yi turned his head and saw Fang Yuying’s smiling face, warm as spring at that moment.
Fang Yi understood the comforting intent behind Fang Yuying’s gaze and nodded, his own face breaking into a smile.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you to see Uncle and Aunt," Fang Yuying said.
"Mhm."
With Fang Yuying leading the way, Fang Yi followed her, weaving through the gravestones.
This was an extremely secluded corner, where both were buried together, with their tombstones side by side. However, what made Fang Yi frown was that, compared to the surrounding tombs, their graves were far inferior, making them appear lonely and abandoned in such an inconspicuous little nook.
Moreover, what caused Fang Yi even more concern was the lack of portraits on their tombstones.
As if perceiving Fang Yi’s thoughts, Fang Yuying said, "I don’t know why there are no portraits of Uncle and Aunt. Every time we visited the graves during Qingming or the end of the year, I never saw them."
Fang Yi replied, "I’m afraid someone did it on purpose."
Fang Yuying fell silent.
Fang Yi had already realized that Qingling Cemetery was essentially the Fang Family’s private burial ground. Anyone buried here was a member of the Fang Family, so it was only natural for Fang Yi’s parents to be interred here.
But what Fang Yi saw and heard now only proved that, even after death, his parents had suffered from some kind of abnormal treatment, and this ill treatment came from the Fang Family itself.
Fang Yi stood silently in front of the two tombstones. His face did not betray whether he was angry or sad. After a long while, Fang Yi spoke softly, "I don’t know what my parents did wrong in the Fang Family to be treated like this."
Fang Yuying remained silent, shaking her head slightly.
"They were treated this way in life and in death. I really want to drag each and every one of them here and interrogate them harshly to find out what wrong my parents have done to them."
Fang Yi’s words were still soft, but Fang Yuying’s body trembled fiercely because she could hear the madness in his words.
"Little brother, you..."
"Don’t worry, I will endure," Fang Yi suddenly smiled, a stark contrast to the gloominess on his face just moments ago, but the madness in his smile was even more pronounced.
"The suffering my parents endured, I will claim it back from them. Sooner or later, I will step into the Fang Family with honor!"
To step into the Fang Family!
These four words resonated like thunder, heavy and profound, in Fang Yuying’s ears, causing an unusual gleam to appear in her eyes.
At this moment, the western sun was gradually about to set, and Fang Yi knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the two tombstones.
"Although I can no longer remember your faces, I will always remember that I am your son, and I will avenge your grievances."
Fang Yi had not brought incense or paper money, so he used cigarettes instead, placing them in front of his parents’ tombstones.
Having done all this, Fang Yi stood up and took a deep breath.
Leaving the Fang Family’s private cemetery, Fang Yi took out a cigarette, lit it, inhaled deeply, letting the smoke circle in his lungs, then turned to Fang Yuying with a smile and said, "Thank you."
Fang Yuying returned to her usual demeanor, slapping Fang Yi on the shoulder and said, "Don’t say such things to your sister, it’s so tacky, unbearably tacky!"
Fang Yi smiled and said, "I’ll be returning to Moon City tomorrow morning."
Fang Yuying’s expression stiffened. "Won’t you stay in Tianjing for a few more days?"
Fang Yi replied, "There’s a whole lot of things waiting for me in Moon City, and now that I have set boundaries with the Dragon Team, staying in Tianjing would only add to my troubles."
Earlier, on the way here, Fang Yi had told her about the events that had occurred at the Dragon Team headquarters. Listening to Fang Yi, Fang Yuying bit her silver teeth and said, "I won’t let those old coots off the hook."
Fang Yi smiled and said, "Neither will I."
Although smiling, Fang Yuying could hear the cold chill in Fang Yi’s words.
The next morning at Tianjing Airport, Fang Yi arrived alone, as Fang Yuying had not come to see him off. Thus, Fang Yi prepared to return to Moon City by himself.
However, just as Fang Yi was about to leave, Liu Duanguang and Wu Boqing appeared, and Liu Duanguang was being pushed in his wheelchair by that man Lin Jingtian.
Fang Yi was not surprised by Liu Duanguang’s arrival, but Lin Jingtian’s audacious presence was somewhat unexpected to him.
