Chapter: 2785
Du Haiqing and Su Zhiyu were hiding in a dry ditch by the roadside, waiting for their families to arrive.
Soon, they saw two bright headlights coming down the road. It was the commercial vehicle driven by Du Haifeng.
Du Zhenhua quickly called out to Du Haiqing, “Haiqing, do you see our car?”
Du Haiqing replied, “Dad, I see a car about five or six hundred meters away, but I’m not sure if it’s yours.”
Du Zhenhua suggested, “Have your big brother flash the high beams twice.”
When Du Haifeng heard this, he quickly turned on the high beams two times.
Du Haiqing stepped out of the ditch and waved her hand at the vehicle. Du Haifeng, sitting in the front passenger seat, spotted her immediately and shouted, “It’s Haiqing! Let’s go!”
He pressed the accelerator, and the vehicle sped towards her.
The car soon came to a stop beside Du Haiqing. As soon as it halted, the doors on the driver’s side, passenger side, and back seat opened all at once.
Du Zhenhua, Du Haifeng, and Du Haiyang jumped out of the car.
Seeing Du Haiqing, Du Zhenhua struggled to hold back his tears. “Haiqing, you and Zhiyu have been missing for so long. I was so worried about you…”
Du Haiqing also cried as she rushed to hug her father. “Dad, I’m sorry for worrying you…”
Su Zhiyu then approached Du Haiqing and gently took Du Zhenhua’s arm. “Grandpa…” she sobbed.
Du Zhenhua quickly wrapped his arms around Su Zhiyu and said, “Good girl, you’re safe, that’s all that matters…”
Su Zhiyu then looked at Du Haifeng and Du Haiyang, her emotions spilling over.
With tears in her eyes, Du Haiqing cried out, “Uncle, Uncle… don’t worry about us…”
Du Haifeng quickly reassured her, “Silly girl, what are you saying? You and your mother are safe. Even if I’ve spent half my life worrying…”
Du Zhenhua couldn’t hold back any longer and asked the question that was on his mind, “Haiqing, where have you and Zhiyu been? Who saved you?”
Du Haiqing sighed and replied, “Dad, it’s a long story. I’m not sure where to begin…”
Du Haiyang then suggested, “Dad, we should get in the car and head home. We can talk more on the way if we don’t finish.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Du Zhenhua agreed, eager to get moving. He opened the back door of the van and said to the two women, “Get in the car, let’s go home!”
Du Haiqing nodded and said, “Dad, you go first.”
But Du Zhenhua gently nudged her, saying, “You go with Zhiyu first.”
Seeing this, Du Haiqing didn’t argue. She helped Su Zhiyu into the car before Du Zhenhua joined them. Soon after, Du Haifeng started driving away.
As the van disappeared down the road, Chen Zekai, who had been watching from the shadows, let out a sigh of relief. He pulled out his phone to call Charlie Wade. “Master, Ms. Du and Ms. Su are with their families now.”
Charlie breathed a sigh of relief on the other end. “That’s great news. I should head home too.”
He added, “Old Chen, you’ve had a long day since yesterday. Take a good rest over the next couple of days!”
Chen Zekai smiled slightly and replied, “I’m just glad to help you.”
“I just finished a lap in Syria, and I’m not tired at all. But you’ve been bothering me for the past two days, Master,” Charlie Wade said with a smile.
Chen Zekai quickly replied, “Master, your birthday is coming up soon. Do you have any plans?”
Charlie nodded and replied, “Let’s not talk about birthdays. On that day, my daughter is having a concert. I’ll be taking my wife to enjoy the concert with her, which will also serve as a birthday celebration.”
