Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 1069 - 1068: Her Heart

"Old Chu... you..."Looking at the screen with the kind smile that hadn't changed from the past, Chu Shiyao's lips trembled involuntarily. After a few seconds, her tightly knitted brows slowly relaxed, revealing a smile that she tried to make as natural as possible.

"Old Chu, you're joking with us, right? I almost believed it."

Chu Chengrui's smile remained unchanged, neither affirming nor denying.

"Old Chu, this joke of yours isn't funny at all, really, it's especially, especially unfunny. Let us get out with Brother Chu, didn't you plan to let those chefs you invited from around the world prepare a lavish dinner for Brother Chu?"

Chu Chengrui's expression on the screen remained unchanged.

Chu Shiyao turned to look at Chu Ge, grabbed his hand, then turned her gaze back to the big screen, pointing at Chu Chengrui with her other hand, "Brother Chu, is this screen broken? Normally when I talk to Old Chu he never ignores me. The screen is broken, isn't it?"

"Yaoyao, don't be silly." Feeling the trembling of Chu Shiyao's small hand, Chu Ge squeezed it firmly, then turned her shoulders so she had to look him in the eye. "The screen isn't broken; he really isn't speaking."

"Brother Chu... you, you're joking with me too? No, it can't be like this."

Chu Shiyao shook her head forcefully, her white teeth biting into her lower lip fiercely, but although she used all her strength to bite, she couldn't stop her lips from trembling.

She struggled to look at Chu Chengrui on the big screen again, and her smile appeared once more, but it became increasingly forced.

"Old Chu, stop it, okay? I really hate this joke of yours. I'm scared of this place. If you keep joking like this, I'll start crying. Let Brother Chu and me go out, please? I want to go home..."

On the big screen, Chu Chengrui's expression finally changed; he raised an eyebrow slightly, "Let you go out? Go home? Where is your home...?"

"Old Chu... stop it, really stop it." Chu Shiyao smiled, but her eyes turned red, and two silent lines of tears finally fell down, she choked out a shout of "Grandpa."

These two words had been suppressed in Chu Shiyao's heart for a long time. During this period, Chu Chengrui treated her so well, she had long accepted and acknowledged him. But she never imagined that the first time she called him Grandpa would be under such circumstances.

Chu Chengrui was stunned for a moment, his face becoming somewhat odd, before suddenly bursting into laughter!

As Chu Chengrui's laughter filled the cage-like room, even though Chu Shiyao lifted her head, desperately trying to hold back her tears, the tears still gushed forth uncontrollably like a broken dam.

"What did you just call me? Grandpa? So you can say those words? I always thought, in your eyes, I was just a 'Old Chu' that you could call out to casually. What's wrong? Getting scared now and using those words to beg for mercy?"

Chu Chengrui laughed for a while, shrugged his shoulders, and spoke nonchalantly.

"It's not like that... Of course not like that, I..."

Chu Shiyao shook her head vigorously with a flood of tears, her tears scattering in the air and falling to the ground, shining with a heartbroken glimmer.

"It seems you've really gotten into playing house, huh, haha..." Chu Chengrui chuckled like an old gentleman, and his smile gradually faded, "But, unfortunately, the game that was supposed to go on for a long time... has already ended."

"Chu Chengrui, that's enough!"

Even though Chu Ge had interacted with Chu Chengrui from the beginning, he had never considered him to be any kind of good man or woman. Over the years, he had seen all sorts of brutal, vile, or insidious ugly faces, but facing Chu Chengrui's actions right now, he couldn't help but feel a burning rage in his heart.

The hypocritical face of Chu Chengrui was downright inhumane!

"Mm, little Chu, you're right. I've certainly said enough to this naive... or rather, foolish little girl. Now, it's time for us to talk properly. You probably have a lot of things you want to ask me, right? Why don't you start with what you want to talk about?"

Chu Chengrui looked at Chu Ge, nodded with considerable agreement, and spoke with a beaming smile.

Chu Ge's face showed a cold smile, his brows furrowing into two sharp blades, emitting a fierce glow, "Since that's the case... alright, I'll open this conversation with you then."

Chu Chengrui made a calm gesture of "please", "Whatever you want to talk about, go ahead."

"I want..." Chu Ge's lips curled slightly upward, he twisted his neck, and suddenly spat onto the screen, his middle finger of his right hand fiercely pointed up, coldly spitting out four words through clenched teeth.

"Talk! Your! Mother! Fuck!"

Chu Ge's action was so sudden that Chu Chengrui instinctively stepped back, even raising his hand in a "block" motion. But he quickly realized, he wasn't actually standing in front of Chu Ge, there was no real need to dodge or block.

A flash of irritation passed through Chu Chengrui's eyes, he furrowed his brows, but quickly smoothed them out again, his face once more taking on that kind-hearted or rather hypocritical smile.

"Young Chu, do you think, given the current situation, that swearing has any meaning? I've always thought of you as a smart person, and smart people should act like smart people. Uttering such vulgar words solves nothing, wouldn't you agree?"

Chu Ge snorted heavily from his nose, as if he'd heard the funniest joke in the world, then fell back, lying on the bed.

Indeed, in theory, Chu Ge had many, many things he should discuss with Chu Chengrui, but, would talking really achieve the effect he expected?

He would rather stare at the tea-colored glass overhead than look at that nauseating old face again.

"Acting out, are we? Young Chu, you really disappoint me. I'd thought you were a wise person, aware of the times, knowing when to advance and retreat, but it turns out you're nothing of the sort. Haha... I overestimated you."

Chu Chengrui's voice reached Chu Ge's ears again, yet Chu Ge continued to ignore him, fully acting as if he considered his words to be nothing but fart.

"Alright then, since you don't want to talk to me now, I will unilaterally offer you some words of wisdom, and explain some things you're bound to be interested in."

Chu Chengrui waited for a few seconds, then spoke indifferently, his voice full of an air of calm confidence.

"Where should I start...?" Chu Chengrui slowly stroked his chin, "I guess what you most want to know now is why your hypnosis has no effect on me, right?"

Upon hearing this, though Chu Ge lay motionless on the bed, he couldn't help but frown secretly.

As Chu Chengrui said, he truly was baffled by this point. What he didn't expect even more was that not only was Chu Chengrui unaffected by his hypnosis, but he also detected this matter that was supposed to be carried out silently.

"Such an interesting matter, let's save it for later," with a cunning smile, Chu Chengrui curled his lips, "Why don't we first talk about my precious granddaughter... Chu Shiyao?"

Chu Shiyao's body trembled slightly, mechanically raising her head that had just lowered, with a face full of tear marks, she tightly bit her lips and once again looked at Chu Chengrui on the screen.

"The reason I sought her out was actually for my other granddaughter, her sister. Simply put, her sister's heart can't hold out much longer, and her heart can be used to save her sister's life."

Chu Shiyao's body stiffened, her pupils constricted, it felt like her heart was being fiercely gripped by an invisible giant hand, an indescribable immense pain, even though her body was rigid to the point of being immobile, it involuntarily began to tremble violently.

"To be honest, I originally didn't want to do this either, after all, I'm a kind, charitable person known far and wide for my good deeds. Unfortunately, I've never found a heart that satisfies me, perfectly matching her sister's body. So, Chu Shiyao's heart is my best choice."

"Whether for my kindness or to ensure Chu Shiyao's body meets satisfactory indices, I've held off, wanting Chu Shiyao to experience the most beautiful time in her life before sending her on her way."

"Neither... Young Chu, you're a child who loves to meddle, from the start you've suspected my motives for seeking out Chu Shiyao, do you really think I wasn't aware? Perhaps you've done well, but don't forget, I've lived many years, not in vain."

Saying this, Chu Chengrui clicked his tongue, his eyes revealing a gaze both amused and disdainful.

"But even so, I honestly have nothing to fear, because in the matter of removing Chu Shiyao's heart, I can do it without leaving any traces, make her disappear without a single hint, even before I really begin this matter, you all can indulge in your little schemes, your chaos."

"However... during this process, I discovered something very interesting, something that brings me great surprise! Regarding my other granddaughter's treatment plan, besides using Chu Shiyao's heart, I've found a new, possibly even better, option."

Chu Chengrui's eyes suddenly lit up, bursting with a fervent glow, his lips curling high, subconsciously licking his lips.

That expression was like a destitute man seeing countless banknotes, or a mad dog, starving for days and nights, seeing roast meat sprinkled with fragrant seasoning.

The direction Chu Chengrui's gaze was focusing on at this moment, however, was no longer Chu Shiyao, but Chu Ge.
