Chapter 999: Truth (2)

Helian Xiao’s eyes were dark and deep as he stared coldly at Helian Zhu. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes were filled with disappointment towards her.

Was he the one who brought up such a selfish child?

Helian Xiao took Helian Zhu’s phone and walked out of the room. Helian Zhu immediately started to panic, lifting her blanket to chase after her father. “Daddy, Daddy, don’t leave!”

Helian Xiao had called over the bodyguards, telling them to keep an eye on Helian Zhu for twenty four hours and stop her from contacting anyone else. He also forbid her from leaving her room at all.

Some things could be handled after he returned.

Not too long after Helian Xiao left, Feng Yao arrived at the room.

When she saw Feng Yao, Helian Zhu acted like she had seen a lifeline, grabbing Feng Yao’s sleeves immediately as her tears fell easily. “Feng Yao, help me please! Daddy won’t forgive me easily this time. If I lose my status in the family, you would suffer in the Helian family in the future as well.”

Feng Yao waved Helian Zhu’s hand away. “Have you treated me as your own younger brother all these years? You’ve been afraid of me taking your position and kept outcasting me and making things difficult for me. You made me look like I can do nothing in front of my Lord. Now that you’re in trouble, you’re treating me as your younger brother?”Helian Zhu wiped her tears, embarrassment appearing in her guilty expression. “I was wrong in the past. We’re each other’s closest relatives, so we must unite now. You probably don’t know that Nan Zhi is Daddy’s biological daughter, do you? If Daddy and her acknowledge each other, what position will we have in the Helian family in the future?”

When Feng Yao heard Helian Zhu’s words, he froze terribly. He was as shocked as Helian Xiao was.

“Feng Yao, Nan Zhi didn’t grow up with us. She’s only an outsider and we cannot let her enter the Helian family, and we cannot let her acknowledge her roots and ancestors!”

Feng Yao took a few steps back, staring at Helian Zhu like he was looking at a stranger. “You’re really selfish and coldblooded. My Lord has been single for so many years and never had his own children. Now that he has a daughter, you don’t want him to acknowledge his biological daughter? Not only am I afraid of what you have done, I’m sure my Lord would feel even more heartache for you! Helian Zhu, what goes around comes around!”

After saying his piece, Feng Yao stopped paying attention to Helian Zhu, as he walked out of the room with large strides.

Helian Zhu shouted after him painfully, “Feng Yao, don’t you like Nan Zhi? Can you watch her marry another person just like this?”

Feng Yao turned around. “I did like Nan Zhi before, but I gave up my feelings after finding out about her love with the King! Helian Zhu, liking someone doesn’t mean that you have to possess them. Seeing her happy makes me happy as well!

“Besides, if Nan Zhi is my Lord’s daughter, then she will be a part of our Helian family. I will only have kinship for her and will never have any other feelings!”Staring as Feng Yao walked away, Helian Zhu was left feeling extremely helpless!

…

Helian Xiao rushed to take a flight to the Capital once more.

On his way there, he felt that even breathing was difficult for him, as his blood kept surging within him. The lightning like tremors seemed to still remain, making his mind blank out while his eyes buzzed and rumbled.

As his age and experience increased, there was rarely anything that made him lose his calm.

His tall figure sank into the sofa, his lashes fluttering nonstop. He had a tight fist placed on his knees while his other hand held onto a cigarette, the nicotine from the cigarette sinking into his heart. However, it was still hard to calm his excitement, nervousness and panic.

He had never thought that he would have a daughter after all these years!

When he was young, he had only done one wrong thing. That night, he had been drugged with a drug that would make his blood vessels burst if he didn’t find a woman.His driver-cum-assistant saw that he was suffering, his veins protruding garishly, so he went to find a woman to ease his anguish.

When he became conscious the next day and found out that he had raped a woman that night, he searched the entire city for that woman.

He couldn’t remember how the woman looked like, only remembering that she had worn a mask.

Not too long later, a woman with a mask came to look for him and even told him what happened that night.

His assistant also recognized that the mask belonged to the woman he found that night.

At that time, he gave the woman two choices, one was to stay with him, and the second was giving her a cheque where she could put whatever amount she wanted. However, she had to leave and never meet him again.

The woman chose the second option.

However, not too long after the woman made the decision, she was met with a car accident.

It had been so many years, but Helian Xiao still felt guilty about raping an innocent woman that night.“Sir, we’re at the airport now.”

Helian Xiao woke up from his complicated thoughts, putting out the cigarette as he got up from the sofa.

…

Outside of the ICU.

An Feng had yet to wake up.

Nan Zhi couldn’t care less about who her father was right now, she was only worried about her Mom’s life.

If she didn’t wake up, Mom might really leave her.

It was all that woman’s fault. Nan Zhi wanted to kill Mrs Ye.

Mu Sihan knew Nan Zhi was feeling down, so he had been by her side the entire time. He knew very clearly that right now, to her, nothing was more important than An Feng waking up!

Yi Fan had brought soup over, but Nan Zhi had no appetite to drink it. She sat on the chair, her red eyes puffy and filled with panic.Mu Sihan crouched down in front of Nan Zhi, about to say something when he saw a tall figure walking over towards them from the corner of his eyes.

“An Feng isn’t awake yet?” Helian Xiao’s steps were hurried, nervousness in his tone.

When Nan Zhi heard Helian Xiao’s voice, she looked up at him. However, she looked down again very quickly. Noting that Nan Zhi had looked down again, a rare panic appeared on Helian Xiao’s handsome face.

He pursed his lips tightly, walking in front of Nan Zhi as he stared intently at her. “I already know that you’re my daughter.”

His hands were clenched into tight fists, wanting to pull Nan Zhi into his arms. However, he was afraid that she would reject and be opposed to him doing such a thing.

From the moment she was born to the mother of three she was now, he had never been by his side as a father and never doted or helped her at all. And now, because of her identity, her mother was in the ICU…

Helian Xiao’s heart was filled with guilt and nervousness.

Nan Zhi stood up. “I need to go to the washroom.” She ran away hurriedly.

Helian Xiao wasn’t the only one who was surprised and nervous at the sudden revelation of her identity, Nan Zhi felt helpless as well.

Mu Sihan looked away from Nan Zhi’s back, his deep black eyes turning towards Helian Xiao. “Actually, not only does it feel unrealistic to her, I feel the same as well. I can understand how you feel right now, it’s like when I found out about Xiaojie and the twins.”

Helian Xiao patted Mu Sihan’s shoulder. “I’m going in to visit your mother-in-law, you should go and find her.”

For Nan Zhi right now, there was nothing more important than An Feng getting out of danger. As long as An Feng woke up, he might be able to wait for the day when Nan Zhi was willing to call him ‘Dad’.

With that, Helian Xiao put on the sanitized suit and entered the ICU.
