Chapter 228 Xu Youwei's Leg Is Crippled
With Xu Youwei's tacit approval, Zhou Hao successfully entered the ward.
Zhou Hao handed the fruit basket to the caregiver, then stood at the door and stared at Xu Youwei, asking, "Are you Xu Youwei?"
Xu Youwei suppressed his excitement and forced himself to remain calm as he answered, "Yes, that's me."
Zhou Hao's eyes flickered, then he asked, "Do you still remember Zhou Liangliang?"
Xu Youwei, however, could hardly contain his excitement.
According to his previous investigation, it was his first love, Zhou Liangliang, who gave birth to a boy eight months after they broke up and she went abroad.
Eight months...it's very likely his child.
Xu Youwei countered Zhou Hao's question, "Is your mother Zhou Liangliang?"
"It's my mother."
Zhou Hao's voice trembled slightly, and a look of sadness appeared on his face at the right moment.
However, he felt a sense of relief.
If Xu Youwei is truly his biological father, then as Xu Youwei's only son, Xu Youwei would have no choice but to protect him.
In this way, as long as Xu Youwei insists that the car accident was an accident and prevents the police from conducting a thorough investigation, he can get away unscathed and then inherit the Li family's billions of assets.
Zhou Hao suppressed his excitement and looked at Xu Youwei with a complicated expression.
“My mother and you broke up on New Year’s Day in 1960. My birthday is in early August.”
Zhou Hao spoke tactfully, but Xu Youwei could no longer control his emotions and waved to Zhou Hao with trembling hands.
"Come here, come here."
Zhou Hao silently walked up to Xu Youwei.
Xu Youwei grabbed Zhou Hao's hand, and the real hand in his own made him realize that he was not dreaming.
He really does have a son.
Xu Youwei looked at Zhou Hao and asked, "I sent people to the United States to look for you for a long time, but there was no good news. I only knew that you encountered some trouble in the United States and escaped by smuggling yourself. How did you get back to Hong Kong? How long have you been back in Hong Kong?"
Zhou Hao hesitated, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Old Master Xu, who stood silently to the side.
Xu Youwei understood and turned to his father, saying, "Dad, Zhou Hao and I just met, and I have some things I'd like to talk about privately. Please excuse me for a moment."
Old Master Xu frowned, his eyes filled with obvious suspicion.
He looked Zhou Hao up and down, and also glanced at Xu Youwei a few more times.
He always felt that the birth of this illegitimate child was very suspicious, and he suspected that the illegitimate child was even fabricated by Xu Youwei out of thin air in order to obtain the Xu family's property.
Grandpa Xu said cryptically, "It's best to be cautious about things like acknowledging a son."
Xu Youwei scoffed at what the old man Xu had said.
He knew all too well that the old man's heart had long since leaned towards his second and third sons, and naturally he didn't want him to have any more sons. After all, the children of his second and third sons were also the old man's grandsons, and he didn't care about having one more.
But he was different; without Zhou Hao in front of him, he would be all alone.
Xu Youwei said to his father, "Dad, Zhou Hao is definitely my son. I have already investigated his background. If you are not sure, you can do a paternity test. Zhou Hao is definitely a member of the Xu family."
"Then it's settled. I need to see the paternity test results before I'll agree to let this kid acknowledge his ancestors."
After finishing his sentence, Old Xu took a few more deep looks at Zhou Hao before leaving the ward.
As soon as Old Man Xu and the caregiver stepped out, Zhou Hao slid down to his knees and knelt in front of Xu Youwei.
"Dad, please save me! I beg you to save me! I only found out today that you might be my dad. I really didn't know before."
Xu Youwei was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Zhou Hao had smuggled himself back from the United States, and thought that he was probably afraid that the people from the United States would come to Hong Kong to retaliate against him.
Xu Youwei sat on the bed and reached out to help Zhou Hao.
"Get up. What big deal are you? You're just a small gang from America. They wouldn't dare touch my son, Xu Youwei."
Zhou Hao, however, remained unresponsive.
With his head bowed, he managed to squeeze out tears, then looked up at Xu Youwei and said...
"Dad, that's not what I meant. What I meant was... was..."
Zhou Hao couldn't get the second half of the sentence out after a long time, so Xu Youwei patiently explained.
"What is it? No matter how big the problem is, Dad can take care of it for you."
Zhou Hao steeled himself and blurted out.
"I was the one who hit your car today! I didn't know beforehand..."
"what?"
Xu Youwei suddenly gripped Zhou Hao's hand tightly. His lips trembled as he uttered two words, almost biting his tongue.
The person who caused him to lose a leg was his son?
Xu Youwei looked at Zhou Hao in disbelief.
"Dad, please save me. I really didn't know it was you in the car. I was just paying the person who brought me to Hong Kong Island."
Xu Youwei's eyes were fierce, as if they were poisoned.
Who are those people?
Zhou Hao felt uneasy under Xu Youwei's gaze.
"I...I don't know."
Xu Youwei then asked, "What did you talk about during those days at sea?"
“They wouldn’t let me speak at all. They tied me up and only gave me one meal at sea. After we got to Hong Kong Island, they made me ram your car with my car. They only let me go after I did.”
Xu Youwei stared intently at Zhou Hao, "Who told you to come to the hospital to reunite with me?"
"Among the people who brought me to Hong Kong Island, he was the only kind-hearted one who didn't hit me."
The only one with a good heart?
Can a sheep emerge from a pack of hungry wolves?
Xu Youwei understood immediately upon hearing Zhou Hao's words.
This is a complete trap.
The other party wanted him to pay a bloody price, and even brazenly brought the murderer to his doorstep.
The gamble was that he couldn't bear to kill his only son.
This feeling of being taken advantage of, knowing perfectly well that he had been outmaneuvered, and yet having no choice but to follow the direction given to him by others, was driving Xu Youwei almost insane.
Zhou Hao was still sobbing and crying.
"Dad, please save me! The police might catch up with us here soon."
"Dad, I'm your son, you must save me."
"Shut up!" Xu Youwei roared. "Keep quiet if you want to live."
Xu Youwei kept looking at his legs and then at Zhou Hao. After a long while, he finally used the phone in the ward to call his personal assistant.
The call came back quickly, and the person on the other end said that they had informed the police that they would not prosecute.
These days are chaotic, and many people are mistakenly killed. This is not an isolated case. Generally, as long as the victim and their family do not appeal, the police will not interfere.
Zhou Hao also heard Xu Youwei's voice on the phone.
He was very excited and knelt down in front of Xu Youwei, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.
"Thank you, you truly are my father."
Zhou Hao felt relieved, but Xu Youwei was even angrier.
After hanging up the call for help.
Xu Youwei's mind was filled with only two names.
Shen Wancheng.
Gu Jinxing.
Once he's discharged from the hospital, he definitely won't let those two off the hook.
He refused to believe they could be so lucky every time; sooner or later he would send them both to hell to be a pair of ghost lovers.
