Chapter: 4245
"But I didn't expect it - soon after, I heard the news of his tragic demise..."
As he reached this point, Chen Zhongzhong's eyes were already brimming with tears. He couldn't help but clench his fists and choke back a sob: "I never thought Long Yang Young Master would pass away at such a young age... it's truly too much to bear..."
Leaf Autumn also couldn't help but sigh in dismay, thinking about how his father had passed away at a similar age...
After dwelling on the past, Leaf Autumn couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Chen, what brought you to New York later?"
Chen Zhongzhong let out a bitter smile and said: "After Long Yang Young Master's passing, I quietly went to Jingling to pay my respects. When I was planning to return to Hong Kong, I found out that the big shot who had been trying to kill me also learned about Long Yang Young Master's sudden demise. So he immediately issued another order for his followers to pursue me across the land. Seeing that I couldn't go back to Hong Kong, I could only sneak into America and stay here until now..."
As Chen Zhongzhong spoke, he couldn't help but ask: "Leaf Autumn, where have you been these years? Back then, Mr. Gu was almost searching for you all over the world, and in America alone, I helped him look for you several times without finding anything..."
On the side, Gu Qiuyi quickly said: "Leaf Autumn, earlier my dad and I came to New York to find you. At that time, it was Uncle Chen who received us, and we stayed at this very hotel!"
As she spoke, she looked at Chen Zhongzhong with a smile, saying: "Uncle Chen, I remember when I first came here with my dad, I was only eight years old. The last time I came was when I was twenty, and now I'm already twenty-six. Your place hasn't changed at all."
Chen Zhongzhong smiled faintly: "I've gotten used to things since then, so it's hard for me to change. Actually, that means I'm lazy."
Gu Qiuyi looked at Leaf Autumn and explained: "Leaf Autumn, earlier my dad and I came to America to find you. Uncle Chen's place was our first stop. Oh, by the way, his roasted goose is particularly delicious!"
Chen Zhongzhong didn't bother with humility and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Gu, how did you find Leaf Autumn? Where did you find him?"
Leaf Autumn spoke up: "Uncle Chen, I've been in Jingling all along."
Chen Zhongzhong's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed: "How could that be? Back then, many people including Mr. Gu went to Jingling to look for you, but no one found anything..."
Upon hearing this question, Leaf Autumn began to tell the story of Tang Si Hai arranging him at an orphanage.
Chen Zhongzhong listened and couldn't help but sigh: "Tang Si Hai... I've had a few encounters with him. At that time, I thought he was coarse but had some fine qualities, with a strong sense of justice. But who would have thought his strategy would be so strong? He's indeed a master in this field!"
Cui Qiuyi smiled and said: "Zhang Shu, can we chat while eating? I'm starving."
Chen Zhaozhong hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, Miss Gu, Mr. Leaf, please sit down, I'll go prepare some food in the back kitchen."
As he spoke, he looked at Leaf Autumn and ashamedly said: "Mr. Leaf, my small restaurant doesn't have many options, I'll just bring out something for you to try, no need to order anything!"
Leaf Autumn was extremely polite and said: "Thank you, Uncle Chen, you're too kind."
"It's fine, it's fine! You two please sit down, I'll be right back!"
Chen Zhaozhong spoke as he turned around and quickly ran downstairs.
Cui Qiuyi looked at Leaf Autumn with a smiling face, asking him in a low voice: "Mr. Leaf, are you feeling a bit dazed?"
Leaf Autumn smiled slightly and nodded his head: "A little... I thought you were just calling me to come out for a snack, I didn't react at all..."
Cui Qiuyi laughed mysteriously and then pulled out her phone from her pocket and handed it to Leaf Autumn, saying: "Mr. Leaf, my dad instructed me beforehand that when you arrived, I should let you hear this part."
Leaf Autumn looked slightly surprised, raised his head, and saw the phone screen was a WeChat conversation between Cui Qiuyi and her father, Gu Yanzhong. JrNovels.com
