Chapter 1683 - 949: Deep Brotherhood (Part 4)

Chapter 1683: Chapter 949: Deep Brotherhood (Part 4)

"If I can’t leave, then it’s my fate. As long as Xiao Ying is well, I have nothing else to worry about." Yao Sanbao closed his eyes, "Seeing you one last time, I have no regrets."

The door softly creaked, and Li Feng came out, giving the two a faint smile. She took the cold dishes from the table to the kitchen to heat them up a bit, then quietly retreated back.

Tears flowed from Yao Sanbao’s eyes, and then he couldn’t hold them back. He bit his wrist hard to stifle his sobs.

Knowing he was probably reminded of his late wife by the surroundings, Bai Yusheng didn’t try to console him but instead poured him some wine and quietly stayed with him...

"Creak!"

In the silent night, the sound of brakes was so clear that the sleeping Yao Sanbao and Bai Yusheng were startled awake.

"Third Brother, you go to the cellar, I’ll go out and take a look." Bai Yusheng said while putting on his clothes and heading out.

"Yusheng, forget it. I can’t drag you into this." Yao Sanbao got up as he spoke, "I’ll go with you. If they’re really here for me, it just means it’s my fate. If they can find this place, I doubt I can escape even if I tried."

Bai Yusheng stopped him firmly: "Third Brother, do you take me as a brother or not?"

"Yusheng, as brothers, we can’t just push each other into the fire. Third Brother really can’t be selfish anymore..."

"We don’t even know what’s happening yet. If you go out and show your face, you’ll implicate me, right? Third Brother, it’s not that I’m saying you’re wrong, but why did you have to change your name and get on the newspapers? Now it’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t know you." Bai Yusheng said as he pushed Yao Sanbao toward the side room.

Hearing the commotion, Li Feng emerged from the bedroom, looking a bit bewildered at Yao Sanbao: "What’s going on? Want me to go check?"

"Uncle Bai, is my dad here? Dad, it’s Xiao Ying, are you at Uncle Bai’s house?..." Just as Li Feng finished speaking, the door was knocked loudly, mingled with Yao Meiyin’s calls.

"Xiao Ying?" Yao Sanbao immediately stopped, looking at Bai Yusheng, "Yusheng, it’s Xiao Ying, I’ve mentioned you to her often, it must be that girl who came looking. This kid, why is she so disobedient?" Muttering, Yao Sanbao started heading out.

Bai Yusheng tugged at Yao Sanbao: "Third Brother, what if Xiao Ying was coerced?"

"Then I have all the more reason to go out..." Yao Sanbao looked steadily at Bai Yusheng, "If Xiao Ying was coerced, it means the police have already figured out my details. If we lie, you’ll be considered an accomplice.

Yusheng, I’m content, reaching this point, I’m truly content. Really, let Third Brother go out, the same old words, in this life, Third Brother owes you, but I guess I can’t repay it."

Bai Yusheng’s expression showed some hesitation.

He was a very conflicted person, deeply emotional yet family-oriented. At this moment, he felt that handing over Yao Sanbao would be a betrayal of brotherly love, but not handing him over would be an injustice to his wife and daughter. He was at a loss about what to choose.

Knowing her husband’s character well, Li Feng quickly stepped forward: "Husband, do what you think is right, I’ll support your decision."

This indicated to him that even if he chose brotherhood, she wouldn’t blame him.

"Sister-in-law, Third Brother I..." After a pause, Yao Sanbao continued, "No need for polite words, no matter what he chooses today, I’ve made my choice, let me go out." He looked at Bai Yusheng, "Yusheng, you know I have as stubborn a character as you, once I’ve decided, I won’t change."

Bai Yusheng no longer insisted: "Alright, I won’t stop you, Third Brother. No matter what the result is, remember, you still have this brother here, and Xiao Ying will have my care."

"Dad!" The door opened, Yao Meiyin cried as she rushed into Yao Sanbao’s arms, "Dad, I knew you’d be here!"

Yao Sanbao gently patted Yao Meiyin’s back: "Silly child, didn’t Dad tell you to leave?"

"I won’t leave you to escape alone." Yao Meiyin sniffled, released Yao Sanbao, and pointed to the several people behind her for introduction, "This is Ye Xuan, this is Luo Ye, this is Wen Su, and this is Lu Dongdong, they can help Dad."

Yao Sanbao’s gaze fell on Wen Su, observing him under the moonlight, warm sentiments appeared in his eyes: "No wonder Xiao Ying likes you."

"Dad..." Yao Meiyin awkwardly coughed, "The situation has changed now, please don’t say anymore." She then looked at Bai Yusheng and Li Feng, "Uncle Bai, Aunt Bai, once this matter is over, I will definitely come to express my gratitude."

"This child, why be so polite?" Li Feng stepped forward, looking at everyone, "In this cold weather, come inside and warm up."

"No, Aunt Bai, another day." Yao Meiyin said, pulling Yao Sanbao into the car, waving to the Bai couple, "Goodbye Uncle Bai, Aunt Bai."

After the car disappeared, Bai Yusheng and Li Feng returned inside, looking at the mess on the table, momentarily dizzy, was everything just now a dream or reality?

It wasn’t until the next day, when Luo Ye and Ye Xuan reappeared at the Bai house, that the couple became fully aware that everything yesterday was real!

The couple anxiously looked at the extraordinarily handsome man and woman, unsure what their return meant.

"Yao Sanbao left a document at your house, we’re here to retrieve it." Ye Xuan said, handing a handwritten letter from Yao Sanbao to the couple.

After reading the letter, Bai Yusheng and his wife searched inside the house for a long time, came out empty-handed, and indicated that they couldn’t find what Yao Sanbao had left behind.

Apparently, they did not trust Luo Ye and Ye Xuan.

Luo Ye spoke in a friendly tone: "You really are loyal, but have you considered that harboring a criminal is also punishable by imprisonment."

After pausing for a moment, Bai Yusheng said, "Sorry, we can’t determine whether you’re official personnel. For Third Brother’s safety, I can’t trust you easily."

"The letter is handwritten by Yao Sanbao, what is there not to believe?" Luo Ye thought for a moment and added, "Oh right, I am classmates with your niece Bai Qingchu. If you question our identity, you can call her for confirmation."

"You’re Qingchu’s classmate?" Li Feng’s eyes instantly filled with eagerness, "Is Qingchu doing well? We haven’t seen her in almost two months."

"She’s doing well, she should be home for a break in the next couple of days." Luo Ye said, handing his phone to Li Feng, "There’s Qingchu’s number, you can verify yourselves."

As for this couple, Luo Ye and Ye Xuan did not dislike them. Regarding past matters, they had already received the information, and now their insistence was likely understanding that Yao Sanbao, though he committed many illegal acts, was not guilty of heinous crimes.
