Chapter: 2803
Su Zhifei looked at her and asked, “Are you really being foolish? It’s been years since I last saw you, and you’re clearly hiding something.”
He sighed and continued, “What can you tell me about this? He’s not just your benefactor; he’s mine too. He saved both of us. I know you want to repay him, and I do too! If he really saved you and Mom this time, then our family owes him so much. I want to thank him in person, but you keep hiding the truth. Will I even get the chance to thank him in the future?”
Su Zhiyu felt her defenses crumble. She didn’t realize that her brother was trying to manipulate her feelings. She was caught in a tough spot. On one hand, she had promised Charlie Wade not to reveal his identity. On the other hand, her brother seemed to have figured out part of the situation, and she didn’t know how to reject his questions.
After a moment of thought, Su Zhiyu decided that since her brother had an idea about the truth, she would confirm it without giving away too much. This way, he wouldn’t be upset.
So, she said, “Brother, you guessed correctly. It was Benevolence who saved me and Mom…”
Su Zhifei felt a mix of emotions. “Of course,” he thought. “My grandfather has never met this Blessed Man, and he could guess it was him. If I hadn’t thought about it, I might have missed this connection.”
Acting excited, he exclaimed, “Oh! It really is my benefactor! That’s amazing! Zhiyu, when can you take me to meet him? I need to thank him personally!”
Su Zhiyu hesitated.
Su Zhiyu hurriedly said, “Brother, I don’t know where our benefactor is…”
Su Zhifei looked surprised and asked, “What do you mean? Didn’t you see him?”
“I did see him,” Su Zhiyu replied. “But he didn’t share any information with me. He told me to keep everything about my mother a secret. I don’t even know his last name. My mother and I were really kept from knowing more by him. We just don’t have any more details.”
She worried that Su Zhifei might not believe her, so she quickly added, “Yun Gong is a very mysterious person. He doesn’t want to say much. You remember when he saved us the first time? He wouldn’t tell us a single word. Maybe that’s just how he is…”
Hearing this, Su Zhifei felt disappointed. Su Zhiyu had no doubts about her words. It was true that their benefactor was very private and didn’t like to leave any clues for others.
Then, Su Zhifei said quickly, “I think our benefactor must be in Jinling. We can continue searching for him there. The area we need to cover is much smaller this time. I believe we can find some clues!”
Su Zhiyu nodded eagerly, pretending to agree. “You’re right, Brother! I was just thinking the same thing. Now that we’ve narrowed it down to a city in Jinling, it should be easier to find our benefactor!”
She added quickly, “But we have to be careful and not make a big fuss about it. After all, he’s just under the watchful eyes of En Gong, and we don’t want him to notice us. If he does, he might get angry and leave Jinling!”
Su Zhifei agreed with Su Zhiyu’s concerns.
He spoke quickly, “Don’t worry! I’ll figure it out!”
