Chapter 2031: Chapter 1988: The Choice
Thinking back to when he first awoke, he was still overwhelmed with grief and cried loudly.
But now, Chen Hao had become extraordinarily calm.
When Chen Yang, Lisa, and Xiao Hu saw him, he was sitting alone on the bed, staring into space.
Not knowing what he was thinking about, he was exceptionally quiet.
"Chen Hao." Lisa softly called out as she walked into the room.
Upon hearing the voice, Chen Hao immediately turned his gaze towards her.
Although he wasn’t crying, the tear stains on his face were particularly noticeable.
Clearly, he had secretly cried alone.
For some unknown reason, he had fallen into silence.
"Police sister, have they caught the bad guys? Have they found out why this happened?" Seeing Lisa, Chen Hao immediately asked eagerly.
"The bad guys have been caught, Chen Hao, and we’ve already dealt with them. We avenged your parents for you." Lisa said softly.
"Caught them? Where are they? I want to go see them." Upon hearing they’ve been caught, Chen Hao immediately jumped off the bed, tears unknowingly welling up in his eyes.
His eyes were filled with hatred as well.
This scene made Lisa, Chen Yang, and Xiao Hu feel a pang of discomfort in their hearts.
"Chen Hao, they’ve already been dealt with, you can’t go to see them..." Lisa stopped Chen Hao, who was about to rush out.
"Why? I want to see them. I want to ask them face to face, why did they kill my parents, and the uncles in the village." Young Chen Hao couldn’t hold it in anymore, unable to pretend to be strong, he burst into tears.
Tears slipped down his small face, making others feel heartbroken.
"Chen Hao, you really can’t go to see them, their outcome is not good, sister is afraid it will affect you. You just need to know that they’ve received their deserved punishment, okay?" Lisa spoke softly, carefully comforting Chen Hao.
This child Chen Hao is really different from most other children.
Not only is he mentally mature, but also particularly sensible.
After being comforted by Lisa for a while, he gradually calmed down.
Once he quieted down, Lisa began to talk to him about how to settle his future.
"Chen Hao, sister has to leave. Have you thought about who you will live with in the future?" Lisa cautiously asked.
Chen Hao just lost his parents and was overwhelmed with grief, he hadn’t thought about these issues yet.
Tears uncontrollably fell from his face, and he shook his head.
Feeling deeply for him, Lisa said: "I’ve thought about this for you, now you have two choices. First, you come with us, we’ll send you to a welfare center in the provincial city. There are many children there, and many sisters who will take care of you."
"Second, you go with this uncle, he will take care of you, and you’ll be with him from now on."
Lisa seriously explained to Chen Hao, letting him make his own choice.
Initially, little Chen Hao didn’t make a choice, instead, he cried while maintaining silence.
With tear-filled eyes, he looked at Lisa, then at Chen Yang, and suddenly asked: "Sister, was it this uncle who caught the bad guys?"
"Yes." Lisa was caught off guard, not knowing why Chen Hao suddenly asked this, but she nodded nonetheless.
"Then I’ll go with the uncle!" Chen Hao replied without hesitation, then circled Lisa and walked straight up to Chen Yang, kneeling down with a thud.
"Uncle, thank you for catching the bad guys for me."
This scene took Lisa, Xiao Hu, and even Chen Yang by surprise.
Such a young child actually understood gratitude, truly remarkable.
"Get up, you don’t need to do that." Chen Yang helped Chen Hao up.
Seeing Chen Hao choose Chen Yang, Lisa couldn’t help but smile.
This was the best outcome for Chen Hao.
She could tell that Chen Yang had a good opinion of Chen Hao.
Chen Hao following Chen Yang meant his future would surely be good.
Perhaps Chen Yang might teach him to cultivate, leading him down a path different from ordinary people.
"Alright, Chen Hao, since you’ve chosen this uncle, you must behave well in the future. Sister will visit you when she has time." Lisa walked over with a smile, gently touching Chen Hao’s head and spoke warmly.
Chen Hao raised his arm, wiped the tears from his face, and didn’t say anything.
But his small face was full of determination.
With Chen Hao’s decision to go with Chen Yang, everything here was resolved.
Lisa and Xiao Hu exchanged a few words with Chen Yang, said goodbye to Chen Hao, and then left with their team.
In an instant, the Chen Family village became empty.
After leaving the Chen Family village, Chen Yang didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he took him up a high place, overlooking the entire Chen Family village.
Chen Hao gazed at the once-vibrant village, now shrouded in the stench of blood and devoid of life, his eyes burning with flames.
"Chen Hao, you must remember this day. In the future, you need to strive to become someone capable and influential. Only when you acquire power, can you prevent such events from occurring, upholding justice and righteousness." Chen Yang held Chen Hao’s hand and spoke slowly.
The reason Chen Yang chose to keep Chen Hao wasn’t because this child was so different from others.
It was because he knew that they shared the same lineage!
They had the same blood flowing through their veins.
This was why Chen Yang chose to keep him.
But the young Chen Hao didn’t understand.
He only knew that it was uncle who avenged him... and it was uncle who took him in!
"I will, Uncle Chen Yang... I will strive to become strong in the future." Chen Hao nodded firmly.
Chen Yang responded lightly, without saying another word.
They quietly stayed on the mountain for about half an hour before leaving, then took a car together to Liuhe Village.
