Chapter 443: Chapter 443: A Father’s Intuition

Seeing his daughter silent, Old Mu suddenly said, "Is it that beast Zhou Guicheng?"

Mu Feiyan widened her eyes, looking at her father with disbelief.

"Looks like I guessed right," Old Mu said softly.

His expression appeared extremely complex.

"You... you knew all along?" Mu Feiyan stammered a bit.

Old Mu shook his head and said, "It was only my suspicion before."

Mu Feiyan was very curious about how Old Mu had guessed it was Zhou Guicheng. After all, even the police didn’t suspect him back then.

"It was too coincidental, too perfect," Old Mu said.

Mu Feiyan was a little puzzled.

"There are no perfect people in this world. If there are, then it must be a facade," Old Mu explained to her.

Old Mu wasn’t very educated, nor did he understand counterintelligence, but never underestimate a father’s intuition.

Seeing that his daughter didn’t seem to understand, he patiently explained, "When someone puts on a perfect image outside, it might be for reputation or to deceive more people and gain more benefits. But when a person puts on a perfect image in front of friends and family, then they are definitely hiding something..."

With Old Mu’s explanation, Mu Feiyan finally understood, looking at Old Mu with some surprise.

Although Old Mu was a good father, in her mind, he had always been a rough man, doing masonry work in the past. She didn’t expect him to be so meticulous and know so much.

Old Mu took his daughter’s hand and said, "Of course, it’s not just these. I clearly remember that after school, that beast was always following you. How come on the day of the incident, he just happened to go play ball? Everything was too coincidental, he was too convincing..."

"And these were also thoughts I gradually understood later, but too much time had passed without evidence, and... and he had been concealing so well all these years, I could only keep these suspicions to myself..."

"Later... later your mother had an accident, and I didn’t have much energy to investigate these. You... you mustn’t blame me..."

"Dad, don’t say that, I’ve never blamed you."

"Good child, good child, but unfortunately... unfortunately..." Old Mu said, once again tears streaming down his face.

In his already weak state, the extreme sorrow and joy made him feel a faint heat all over his body. He knew he was probably getting a fever, but he couldn’t be bothered with that now.

"Tell your mom not to act impulsively, not to seek revenge, leave the rest to me... leave it all to me... this is the only thing I can do for you, tell her not to... not to..."

"I will avenge you, Little Swallow of my family, my poor Little Swallow. How could he... how could he... beast, beast..."

"Leave it to me... leave it all to me... or I won’t have peace, dying to come find you..."

...

Old Mu, gripping his daughter’s hand tightly, was in utter grief.

"Dad, don’t get worked up, I will talk to mom, you lie down and rest well," Mu Feiyan saw Old Mu’s expression was off, immediately comforting him.

"I’m fine, I’m really good, I feel especially good now, haha..." Old Mu burst into laughter, seeming particularly delighted.

"If your mom doesn’t want to see me, then let it be. After all, we just met yesterday, seeing too much annoys her..."

At this moment, Old Mu’s cheeks were flushed, his whole person dizzy, his eyes almost closed.

"I bought your favorite roast meat, from the shop by the town entrance. Heat it up when you get back from school..."

"When your mom gets better, our family will take a stroll together. It’s not good for your mom to always lie in bed..."

"Little Swallow, don’t climb so high, come down quickly, it’s dangerous..."

"Study well, go to the big city, meet more people, do greater things..."

...

Old Mu, burning with fever, rambled on, yet every word remained about his daughter.

Mu Feiyan couldn’t directly go call for someone, so she pressed the bell by the bedside, then hid her form away.

"Feiyan... Feiyan..., don’t wander, come home..."

"Don’t be afraid, dad is here, dad can protect you, it’s my uselessness... my uselessness..."

"Don’t go too fast, wait for dad, dad will come to you after avenging, don’t be afraid..."

...

Mu Feiyan stood by the bed sobbing, just then, an aged hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder.

"Mom," Mu Feiyan cried.

"Alright, let’s go,"

Zhou Cuiping took her hand and led her out, just as the middle-aged nurse hurriedly came in.

"Old Mu... Old Mu..."

...

"Mom, you heard everything dad just said, right?" Mu Feiyan said, choked up.

Zhou Cuiping nodded.

"Then are we still going for revenge?"

Zhou Cuiping shook her head.

"But... dad killing someone will get him caught," Mu Feiyan said anxiously.

She didn’t quite understand her mother’s actions. They going for revenge, the police wouldn’t interfere, but if Old Mu sought revenge, he’d surely get caught and might be executed.

"I know your dad better than you do, if he didn’t know about this, it’d be fine. But knowing this now, if he doesn’t do anything, he won’t rest in peace even in death. He doesn’t even want to live anymore, now that he’s got nothing left, what is there for him to hesitate?"

"But... but..."

"Alright, no buts, just listen to me."

"Then where are we going now? Are we going back to find Master?"

"No rush, let’s wait a bit and see..."

Shen Siyuan carried Ruan Hongzhuang, moving extremely fast, even Dou Dou and the others flying in the sky were not much faster than him.

With each step he took, he appeared tens of meters away, and in the blink of an eye, several kilometers away.

This trip, although Shen Siyuan still had not cultivated the Escape Skill, he hadn’t come back empty-handed, having gained an initial understanding.

He walked barefoot on the land, the Earth Mother’s Primordial Magnetism within him connected with the Earth Element Qi in the land, endlessly pouring into his body through the Yongquan Acupoint, making his travel almost effortless.

Shen Siyuan deliberately avoided crowds, not taking the main roads, instead traveling through desolate, remote areas, but even so his speed didn’t decrease a bit. The trees, thorns, jagged rocks along the way posed no obstacle at all.

Ruan Hongzhuang lay on Shen Siyuan’s back, initially feeling a bit nervous, but eventually only feeling a strong sense of security.

The breeze stroked her face, the sun felt gently warm, and finally, she fell asleep on Shen Siyuan’s back, softly snoring.

Hearing the sound, Shen Siyuan turned his head slightly, out of the corner of his eye he saw Ruan Hongzhuang’s long lashes, sleeping sweetly.

He couldn’t help but chuckle, moving even more gently.

Meanwhile, the three little ones rode the Yin Wind, dancing up and down around his body.

Dou Dou was chasing a small bird ahead, trying to ride on its back, but the bird was too small, as soon as she sat down, the bird slipped right out from under her.

Watching her silly and adorable actions, Duoduo and Xiao Yue burst into laughter.

Dou Dou wasn’t upset or discouraged, continuing to try all sorts of silly things with determination.

At times stepping on the bird’s back, at times grabbing its claws, persistently doing all sorts of silly actions, even making Shen Siyuan chuckle softly...

This little one is truly adorably silly.
