HCB Chapter 556 Suspicion
Chapter 556 Suspicion
Although he knew the guy was probably acting, his instincts still overcame his rational judgment in the face of the guy's incredibly lifelike acting. Suddenly, as if he were dodging some evil spirit, he forcefully pushed away the superhuman figure hanging on him and ran far away. Then, his body lurched forward—
"Ugh~"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Once they realized what was happening, Lily and the others burst into laughter, laughing so hard they almost fell over.
"Aha, Master, I thought you were really going to kiss me! Huh? Brother, why are you blushing?" Potato said.
"Get out of here," Tian Yue spat a few times and said irritably, then turned to Chao Bufan and said angrily, "You brat, how dare you joke with me, you deserve to die."
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan said innocently, "Brother, you can't blame me! It's because I was so handsome in my past life that even I almost couldn't control myself and wanted to..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and give him a flirtatious wink.
Tianyue shuddered again and quickly said, "I can't be bothered with you, I'm going upstairs."
As she spoke, Tianyue dashed upstairs, and Potato quickly added, "Master, I'm going upstairs too."
At this moment, Huang Mengting wiped away the tears that had streamed down her face from laughing too hard and spoke first: "Bufan, I never knew you had such a hobby!"
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan immediately rolled his eyes at her and said reproachfully, "You're such a tease! If I didn't do this, would this guy have quieted down?"
"Bufan, your acting just now was truly superb!" Lily joked. "We almost believed it."
Chao Bufan smiled slightly, then snapped his fingers: "Stop talking nonsense and go to sleep."
That night, Chao was unusually abnormal, tossing and turning in bed, looking preoccupied. Baihe lay on his left and Huang Mengting on his right.
The two women were quite surprised. In the past, this guy would start "fighting" with great fervor as soon as he got into bed, but tonight he was acting out of character, tossing and turning. Anyone could tell that he had something on his mind.
"Bufan, what's wrong?" Baihe finally couldn't help but ask softly, "Is something on your mind?"
Huang Mengting chimed in, "Can you tell us about it?"
Chao Bufan gave a wry smile, but remained silent.
Baihe said, "Bufan, we are all your women. If you have anything on your mind, just tell us! At least we can help you share some of the burden."
Chao Bufan opened his arms, and the two women tactfully raised their heads. Chao Bufan used his hands as pillows to hug the two women, then let out a long sigh and said, "I was thinking about what Lan Fenghuang said tonight."
"What do you mean?" the two women asked at the same time.
Chao Bufan frowned slightly, then said, "I'm wondering if the Lan family really does have a time machine."
"That's easy, we'll find out another day," Huang Mengting said.
“It’s not that simple,” Chao Bufan said with a serious face. “I’m thinking…” He paused for a moment, and then continued, “If it’s true, should I use that time machine to go back to my previous world?”
"What do you mean?" Lily asked, frowning slightly. "You still can't forget her?"
Chao Bufan turned his head to look at Baihe and smiled slightly: "You misunderstood. Although Linglong was the woman I loved in my past life, she took advantage of my love for her and deeply hurt me. She poisoned me, which is something I can never forgive in my life."
"Then why are you going back? Is such a vicious woman even worth your love?" Huang Mengting said.
"Sigh~" Chao Bufan sighed softly and said, "Actually, the moment she poisoned me, I hated her to the core. The reason I wanted to go back was twofold. First, I wanted to settle things with her and erase this indelible shadow in my heart. Second, I also wanted to go back and visit my father and my three senior brothers. Although my father is a powerful figure and few dare to offend him, he is old after all, and there are quite a few people who want to harm him. Only now do I understand why Linglong poisoned me."
"Why?" Lily asked.
Chao Bufan gave a bitter smile and said, "Linglong is the daughter of Bald Eagle, and Bald Eagle is a subordinate of Moon God. Moon God has always been my father's mortal enemy. He is determined to kill my father, so he used Linglong to poison me. In this way, my father will lose his mind, and he can take the opportunity to kill my father."
Neither woman uttered a sound; both remained silent.
"I wonder how my father and the others are doing now." Chao Bufan said with a slightly confused look, but his heart was aching. "If the Lan family really has a time machine, then I must go back. I can't let go of my father, and I can't let go of my three senior brothers."
The two women understood Chao Bufan's feelings at that moment. Putting themselves in his shoes, they realized that no one wouldn't worry about their loved ones, especially in dangerous situations.
“Not ordinary,” Lily whispered, “What if you go back and can’t come back?”
Yes, what if he never comes back?
“No,” Chao Bufan laughed. “I have a way to come back. Besides, with you all here, how could I not come back? I just want to go back and visit my father and the others.”
"Bufan~" the two women called out softly and sweetly. Chao Bufan quickly tightened his grip on his hands and smiled, "It's not certain whether I can go back! Don't worry, if I can really go back, I'll come back as soon as I finish dealing with things."
The two women gave a soft "Mmm" and said, "Bufan, we believe in you."
“Silly girl,” Chao Bufan laughed, “you are all my wives. How could I abandon you? The past life may have been good, but it is over. No one will go back to the past.”
“Extraordinary,” Huang Mengting said, “What if the Lan family didn’t have a time machine?”
Chao Bufan adopted a serious expression and said solemnly, "If the Lan family doesn't have a time machine, I wonder what their purpose is?"
“If they’re lying to you, then the Lan family definitely has ulterior motives,” Baihe said.
Chao Bufan grunted in agreement and said, "If you're lying to me, then why would you have the boss's handwritten letter? If everything is fake, then I will not hesitate to raze the entire Lan family to the ground."
Huang Mengting said, "Bufan, why don't we investigate the background of this Lan family first?"
“No need,” Chao Bufan said. “I’ll handle this. I heard from Lao Tang that the boss wants to see me. The answer will be revealed then.”
Huang Mengting said "Oh", and Chao Bufan suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Yifei said she wants to go home tomorrow. Baihe, why don't you go back with her? Let's see the strength of these eight great cultivation families and help them out while we're at it."
