Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 195 - The Reunion Arc : Testing Limits

"What the hell? I am not a freaking calendar! Look it up yourself!" Han Huizhong burst out in rage.

A sinister chuckle came. "Oh but I think you will definitely get it once you see it for yourself."

Han Huizhong frustratedly checked today's date. At first, it didn't click at all. But as he stared at it harder, his eyes slowly widened in realization. He went completely silent and stood still at his spot.

Xiaosi said, "Hello? Hello~~ I don't hear you, Grandpa Han~ I can still see that you are on the line, but I cannot hear anything. What happened? Oh! It seems that you finally remember."

No response.

"So that means you also remember what you did seven years back on this same date."

No response.

With a low, threatening voice, he asked, "Where is Xinyi?"

Instead of answering that, Xiaosi said, "Grandpa Han. It was the graduation party seven years ago. It was Han Huizhong seven years ago. It is the reunion gathering seven years later and it will be Zhu Xiaosi seven years later too. Makes sense that I end your game on this lovely reunion gathering that you started at the graduation party seven years back."

"I asked you where is Xinyi!? Answer me!"

"Where the reunion party is. I am waiting for you, Grandpa Han. Let's have our own reunion tonight."

"Zhu Xiaosi! Don't forget that I am Han Huizhong! And don't forget this either that your daughter is at my house!"

A dangerous laugh resounded. "Of course not, Grandpa. I haven't forgotten it. That's why, I have already taken measures to surround your house with my whole army of well-trained guards. Just step out very quietly Grandpa Han if you don't want Xinyi to get hurt. And I am sure that even if you have ruined lives here, you wouldn't be that heartless to target a six-year-old child. You cannot be that pathetic or do you want to prove me wrong again as you did at that time?"

He hung up.

Han Huizhong quickly tried to call Zhiyuan, but the call didn't connect.

"What the hell!?"

He called again and again but to no avail. Feeling frustrated, he then tried Zizi's number, but he got the same message. Same with Ah Cy and Liang too.

"What the hell is happening! Why is nobody's number working!?"

Suddenly, he remembered Yunru and hastily called his number too.

"Not even Yunru!?"

He thought that since Yunru wasn't a part of the reunion gathering, he might be somewhere else. He even tried calling the hotel's reception number too. Everything failed.

Han Huizhong trembled as he took the support of the railing. His old body was slightly shivering.

"This is all that Xiaosi's doing...he is cutting off all contact to prevent Xinyi from being found."

He leaned on the railing for a moment and took a deep breath. His heart pounded in his chest.

With a storm looming in his dark eyes, he left.

---

Xiaosi was casually whistling to himself as he tapped his finger on the chair. He held a wine glass in his hand sipping onto it in a relaxed manner.

He heard the sound of rapid steps stomping towards his place. The door banged open and Han Huizhong barged, his chest huffing and puffing breathlessly.

"You bastard! Xinyi...where is Xinyi!"

Xiaosi smiled. "Welcome, Grandpa Han. Why are you in such a hurry? Let's have a drink first. Or maybe you prefer tea or coffee?"

"Cut. The. Crap. Already! Where is Xinyi?"

Xiaosi tilted his head and pointed towards another room that had a connecting door linked to where Xiaosi was.

"In that room."

Han Huizhong stormed off in that direction only to be suddenly caught by a pair of guards blocking his way.

"Leave my way!"

Han Huizhong tried to break through them, but they didn't budge from their spot. He turned back in fury and roared in outrage. "Get them out of my way!"

Xiaosi smiled. "Why so soon, Grandpa? You have just arrived here. If you take her away so soon, where will be all the fun?"

His eyes turned reddish in anger and he clenched his stick hard. His grip was so strong that it almost crushed under his pressure.

"Xiaosi. Don't test my patience! Let Xinyi go!"

Xiaosi stared at him, his gaze carrying no emotions. That detached light in his eyes emanated a sense of danger. The air felt so frozen as if they were in the Arctic.

He stood from his seat and slowly walked towards him. His every step brought oppression into the atmosphere.

Xiaosi's tall figure loomed upon him and his lips slowly parted. "Did you let Caihong go that night?"

Han Huizhong froze.

"Did you?"

Silence.

"You know Grandpa. There is not just Xinyi in the room."

He stiffened and his head jerked towards him in shock. "What do you mean?"

Xiaosi chuckled. "Shouldn't you know Grandpa? Haven't you already understood what I am doing here? So of course you know what I am planning right?"

There was a visible change in his expression as he heard his words. The color of his face was slowly fading away.

"You know, Grandpa. You should be careful when you get too arrogant and ruin someone's life. That person might hold a grudge against you like I have been for a long time. Long time now…"

He smiled. "I have been waiting for this day ever since that night happened. At that time, I was helpless. Today, it will be you."

Xiaosi burst into laughter. "I will make you taste your own medicine tonight. I will force you to know how bitter it feels and how I felt that night. How Caihong suffered. So Mr. Han Huizhong. Tell me. What will you do? Xinyi is in that room with a stranger - who at one signal of mine is ready to destroy everything for her."

Han Huizhong froze.

He smiled and leaned. "So, Grandpa. How far will you go to save her tonight?"
