Chapter 1229: Chapter 1228: The Unknown Factor
"You still dare to come to my house?" Qi Rongfeng watched as Zhang Tian walked into his living room as if no one else was there and sat down. Thinking of his past actions, he was still a bit angry.
"Isn’t someone looking for me? So here I am." Zhang Tian smiled and glanced at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng noticed that Zhang Tian today no longer had the disheveled look from that day. Dressed impeccably, his handsome face looked even more striking.
"I was looking for you. Can you take us to Li Country?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Zhang Tian was somewhat surprised, "Li Country? You want to go? And you want me to help you?"
"Yes, you can take us. Can you do that?" Jiang Cheng said, looking at Zhang Tian.
"Why me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll harm you?" Zhang Tian smiled, his lip curling slightly.
"Since I asked you to take us, I will trust you." Jiang Cheng personally handed Zhang Tian a cup of tea.
Changtian was quite surprised by Jiang Cheng’s response. He took the tea from Jiang Cheng, sipped it, and lowered his head, not saying anything.
At this moment, Cloud and Zhao Shuai also walked into the living room. When Zhao Shuai saw Zhang Tian sitting there sipping tea leisurely, he recalled the scene where Zhang Tian used a bomb to threaten him and Jiang Cheng last time. In Zhao Shuai’s view, someone like Zhang Tian, with such an expression and demeanor, was definitely scheming something bad. He then quickly walked up to Zhang Tian, "Zhang Tian, how dare you come here?"
"Ah, Shuai, Cloud, you’re here." Jiang Cheng smiled at Cloud, and just after speaking, he saw Zhao Shuai confront Zhang Tian.
"You guys called me here, right?" Zhang Tian looked up at the aggressive Zhao Shuai and said.
Zhao Shuai glanced at Jiang Cheng and Qi Rongfeng, as if remembering something, and sat down on the other side. Cloud was puzzled by the atmosphere among these people and sat down next to Zhao Shuai. This was the first time she’d seen Zhang Tian, who wasn’t as sleazy as she’d imagined, but rather quite handsome. Zhang Tian noticed someone looking at him and smiled back at Cloud.
Seeing Zhang Tian’s handsome face come alive with a smile, Cloud’s face flushed red.
"Jiang, do you really intend to let Zhang Tian go to Li Country with us?"
Zhao Shuai couldn’t understand why they would go with Zhang Tian. In Zhao Shuai’s view, even if Zhang Tian wasn’t harmful, he still shouldn’t travel with them.
"Yes, together. What do you think, Cloud?" Jiang Cheng thought it necessary to ask Cloud’s opinion, as Zhang Tian had previously hurt her.
"I’m fine. Although I was a bit angry at the time, I was unharmed after all." Cloud knew that Zhang Tian’s actions were merely to draw Jiang Cheng over and not to harm her seriously.
"Hey, Cloud, haven’t you been charmed by his face, have you? Can you really maintain a friendly attitude towards someone who has harmed you?" Zhao Shuai felt annoyed by Zhang Tian’s face, clearly a bad person with a face that could easily mislead young girls.
"Alright, if you think it’s fine." Jiang Cheng looked at Cloud’s calm expression, it seemed she no longer held a grudge against Zhang Tian.
"I can take you there, but I definitely have conditions," Zhang Tian said, looking at Jiang Cheng.
"Tell me," Jiang Cheng said.
"I haven’t thought of it yet. By the way, when are you leaving?" Zhang Tian squinted his eyes and asked.
"Let me know when you think of it, we’ll leave in a day or two." Jiang Cheng said. "I’ll go to the restroom first." After speaking, Jiang Cheng glanced at Zhang Tian and stood up to leave.
Zhang Tian also stood up immediately, "I also want to go to the restroom."
Jiang Cheng stopped at a small pavilion outside the living room. Zhang Tian walked up to Jiang Cheng, "You really understood what I meant," Zhang Tian said.
Jiang Cheng saw from Zhang Tian’s expression earlier that he wanted to say something privately to him. So he came out to wait for Zhang Tian.
"Speak now," Jiang Cheng said.
"I want you to help me find my father." Zhang Tian struggled when he mentioned the word ’father’, as if he was reluctant to say these two words.
Jiang Cheng was really surprised that Zhang Tian’s condition was this. He had expected Zhang Tian to take this opportunity to ask for some precious items, it was really unexpected. In fact, in the beginning, I didn’t want to meet him at all and even wanted revenge, but that day in the tunnel, I suddenly understood, my mother’s early death was because of accumulated sorrow, or rather partly because of him. I want to find him to understand why he abandoned my mother and me back then." Zhang Tian spoke as if he was lost in his memories, his eyes filled with pain.
"Why do you need me to help you find him? You should be able to find him yourself, right?"
Jiang Cheng thought this matter shouldn’t be difficult for Zhang Tian.
"I really can’t find him. Will you help me?" Zhang Tian gave a helpless smile and said.
"Okay, I promise you."
"We’ll set off for Li Country tomorrow morning, let’s meet here." Zhang Tian turned and left after speaking.
Jiang Cheng shook his head helplessly. He initially wanted to ask Zhang Tian about the details and what to prepare for the trip to Li Country, but it seemed Zhang Tian didn’t want to discuss it.
When Zhao Shuai and the others saw Jiang Cheng returning alone, "Jiang, where did Zhang Tian go?" Zhao Shuai asked.
"He left. He said we should meet here tomorrow to go to Li Country," Jiang Cheng said.
"Did he privately ask you to do something, Jiang?" Qi Rongfeng, seeing Zhang Tian and Jiang Cheng leave one after the other, felt there must be something they couldn’t let him, Zhao, and Cloud know.
"Nothing much. Just pack up, we’re leaving tomorrow." Jiang Cheng knew Zhang Tian’s pride wouldn’t let him reveal to others that he was abandoned by his father, so he chose to keep silent about it.
"Cloud, did your parents agree?" Qi Rongfeng asked.
"I plan to tell my parents I’m going on a long trip," Cloud thought her parents wouldn’t agree if she said she was going to Li Country, so she intended to give a plausible reason.
"That’s not really good. Everything in Li Country is unknown, doing this will surely worry Mr. Ji and the others," Qi Rongfeng said.
"Rongfeng, do your parents support you going?" Zhao Shuai asked, "Not exactly support, but after the incident with the tunnel last time, I told my parents I wanted to go see Li Country, and they didn’t object. Qi Rongfeng remembered how, after the tunnel incident, his father visited it for the first time, and his surprise and wonder were clear in his eyes, and it seemed his father had long known about the existence of Li Country.
"Cloud, you should tell the truth. And I think Li Country is genuinely dangerous, it’s definitely not suitable for you to go," Jiang Cheng still felt that Li Country wasn’t suitable for Cloud, as everything there was unknown.
Cloud saw that no one supported her going to Li Country and was really angry, "Fine, I’ll go back and tell my parents I’m going with you this time." Cloud stood up and walked out. "Ah, this girl, she’s angry again." Zhao Shuai watched Cloud run out angrily and felt troubled, recalling how Cloud had always been strong-willed since childhood, determined to do what she wasn’t allowed to.
"Then we’ll go back for now. Rongfeng, we’ll come over tomorrow morning. Prepare well," Jiang Cheng said to Qi Rongfeng.
"Okay, you go ahead." Qi Rongfeng said, looking at Jiang Cheng and Zhao Shuai.
