Chapter 535: Remember! From Now On, They Are Your Family!

Lin Xi brought Zhao Xiaoyu to the hotel entrance in the deep of the night.

Zhao Xiaoyu, sleepy-eyed, still looked puzzled.

"Daddy, Brother Chen Xiao, what are you doing?"

The little girl asked without knowing anything.

Zhao Hai stepped forward.

But just one step, he looked at Chen Xiao questioningly.

Seeing Chen Xiao nod, only then did he squat down and pat Zhao Xiaoyu’s head, saying:

"Xiaoyu, Daddy has some very important things to tell you. Come with me."

Chen Xiao believes that a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, yet he doesn’t trust this saying.

When Zhao Hai turned into Chen Yan, it essentially meant that Chen Xiao didn’t understand Zhao Hai.

Thus, he was not at ease with Zhao Hai now:

"If you need to say something, say it here, in front of both of us."

Chen Xiao had confidence that as long as Zhao Hai was in his presence, he couldn’t do anything else.

Seemingly understanding Chen Xiao’s meaning, Zhao Hai nodded slightly and spoke to the bewildered Zhao Xiaoyu:

"Sweetheart, Daddy made a mistake. This mistake happened a very, very long time ago."

"Daddy made a mistake? Then just correct it; didn’t you say admitting mistakes and correcting them makes a good child?" Zhao Xiaoyu said solemnly.

Zhao Hai raised his thumb:

"That’s right, admitting mistakes and correcting them makes a good child. But when Daddy made mistakes, he wasn’t a child anymore. Xiaoyu, can you understand what Daddy means?"

"Daddy means I’m still a child now. If I make a mistake, as long as I correct it, I can still be a good child. But if I grow up and make mistakes, then I can’t be a good person, right?"

Zhao Hai said seriously, yes!

Zhao Xiaoyu asked worriedly:

"Then if Daddy made a mistake, can’t he be forgiven?"

"No. If Daddy could be forgiven, what about the people Daddy hurt?"

Zhao Xiaoyu was already a bit confused. She muttered: "How can that be?"

Zhao Hai didn’t answer her question but continued to seriously warn her:

"Xiaoyu, from tonight, Daddy will entrust you to Brother Chen Xiao and Sister Lin Xi. Are you willing?"

Zhao Xiaoyu subconsciously felt a bit happy.

But soon, she seemed to understand the meaning of the word "entrust," and her head shook like a rattle.

"Daddy, you’re fine, so why let me go with brother and sister?"

"Daddy already said, I made a mistake a long time ago. To make up for that mistake, I continually made mistakes, damaging many, many people after growing up. To compensate for those errors, you might never see Daddy again."

Upon hearing never see again.

Zhao Xiaoyu’s face changed drastically: "Daddy, where are you going?"

"Daddy might very likely go to find mommy and brother."

When this sentence was spoken.

Even the hearts of Chen Xiao and Lin Xi trembled fiercely.

Zhao Hai spoke very cruelly.

Because Zhao Xiaoyu could understand what going to find mommy and brother meant!

Lin Xi unconsciously tightened Chen Xiao’s hand.

Looking at Xiaoyu’s pale face, Chen Xiao also felt unwilling.

But does he have a choice?

He has no choice!

The TV and movies have long depicted it.

So he must make himself a realistic person.

Only by having Zhao Hai say it out loud, will Zhao Xiaoyu not experience a change in mindset upon learning certain things as she grows up.

Zhao Xiaoyu, with a pale face, even unconsciously reached out to stroke her father’s cheek.

Though she wanted to cry, her expression was very serious:

"Daddy, mommy died, brother died too, right?"

"Yes."

"And you?"

"The mistake Daddy made may come at the cost of life!"

Zhao Xiaoyu’s body trembled.

Lin Xi tightened her grip on Chen Xiao’s hand even more.

Unable to restrain herself, she whispered: "Honey, really going to...?"

Chen Xiao didn’t have time to say anything, but Zhao Hai reached out to stop her words:

"Xiaoyu, listen to Daddy, always remember what Daddy said to you today."

"From now on, you will not only have Daddy as your only relative in life. You still have other relatives, which are Brother Chen Xiao and Sister Lin Xi. Besides them, their family will also be your family!"

"Understand?"

Zhao Hai asked earnestly.

Zhao Xiaoyu turned her head to look at Chen Xiao, asking:

"Brother Chen Xiao, can’t you save my Daddy either?"

Chen Xiao sighed, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Hai continued: "Xiaoyu, Brother Chen Xiao and Sister Lin Xi have never wanted to harm Daddy. Do you know why Brother Chen Xiao was previously captured by the police?"

"It’s because of Daddy’s mistake that he was misunderstood by the police and got taken in. He also wants to help Daddy, but Brother Chen Xiao has already promised to protect and take care of you in the days to come."

"Remember, they will be your closest relatives from now on!"

When Zhao Hai finished this sentence, the sound of police sirens had already started to ring.

Zhao Hai stood up, took Zhao Xiaoyu’s hands.

Placed her right hand into Chen Xiao’s palm, and her left hand into Lin Xi’s palm.

Then, he bowed deeply to the couple.

Zhao Xiaoyu opened her mouth and painfully called out: "Daddy."

But the next second, Zhao Hai glared viciously:

"Listen to Daddy, you must treat Brother Chen Xiao and Sister Lin Xi just like you would treat mommy and Daddy, always... Remember?!"

As the police approached.

After Zhao Hai had finished speaking, he proactively extended his hands.

Soon, Zhao Hai was taken away.

Lin Xi picked up Zhao Xiaoyu, asked with concern: "Xiaoyu, are you okay?"

Zhao Xiaoyu didn’t respond.

Her eyes stared vacantly in the direction her father left.

Chen Xiao helplessly said: "Let’s take her home, if she doesn’t want to speak, don’t bother her for now."

Lin Xi nodded, and picked Zhao Xiaoyu back into the car.

Chen Xiao watched them leave, then turned with a recovery in his expression, walking over to Qi Wei and Xiaoji Knife Man.

His gaze met Qi Wei’s, who similarly understood the scene that had just unfolded.

Her eyes redened, voice choked as she spoke:

"Who exactly is he?"

"He’s one of the twelve high ranks in the Sacred Heart Church like Zuo Shu." Chen Xiao explained briefly, then said:

"Come back to the police station with me, there’s still a mystery surrounding you that needs solving. That mystery is Zuo Shu’s bargaining chip left with me before he died."

"Is it about the reason why Zuo Shu chose to die?"

"Yes, and most likely this reason is tied to you."

Qi Wei also exhibited confusion, not understanding why Zuo Shu’s secret was related to her.

"Sister Weiwei, go with my brother, once you do all the mysteries will be solved."

Qi Wei agreed, silently following behind Chen Xiao.

Before long, the police cars that came suddenly at the hotel entrance, also rapidly vanished without a trace.
