After Chen Yi finished the delicious steak, the middle-aged man slowly and deliberately pulled his chair closer, reducing the distance between them. In the small and simple kitchen, the air seemed to become heavier. The gentle expression on the middle-aged man's face gradually turned serious, and his eyes became deep and probing, as if trying to uncover the secrets deep within Chen Yi's soul.
Sitting there, Chen Yi felt the weight of the man's gaze, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. Recalling the tragic experiences he had endured, from the collapse of his family to being unjustly hunted, each scene lingered in his mind like a nightmare. In front of this stranger, he felt his own vulnerability and helplessness, unable to express the pain and confusion in his heart with words.
He tightly gripped the knife and fork, his hands trembling slightly. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his emotions. His eyes showed gratitude, his voice slightly choked up but filled with determination: "Thank you." These two short words seemed to carry all his emotions - gratitude, trust, and a glimmer of hope for the future.
As the middle-aged man listened to Chen Yi's words, the seriousness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hint of warmth and understanding. He could feel Chen Yi's pain and struggle, but at the same time, he also saw his courage and strength. A slight smile appeared on the man's face, affirming Chen Yi's resilience and silently supporting the young man's future.
The middle-aged man's serious expression softened slightly upon hearing Chen Yi's gratitude, and a hint of warmth and understanding flashed in his eyes. He seemed to sense Chen Yi's inner struggle and pain, but also saw his strength and courage. In that moment, the relationship between the two was not just that of rescuer and rescued, but more like fellow travelers who understood and supported each other in this complex world.
After giving Chen Yi a comforting pat on the shoulder, the middle-aged man took out his phone from his pocket. The screen displayed a news report from Silver Wing City, catching Chen Yi's attention. The headline clearly read: "Tragic fire in Silver Wing City, parents consumed by flames, high school son mysteriously missing." This headline was like a heavy blow, instantly shattering the calm in Chen Yi's heart.
The details in the news report cut Chen Yi to the core. It described a tragic fire that occurred in his own home, where his parents tragically perished in the flames. The news of their deaths was starkly presented on the small screen, and he, marked as the missing son, became the sole unknown factor in this tragedy. The text below the news mentioned that the case was complex, and the local police were making every effort to find the missing Chen Yi, promising to uncover the truth as soon as possible.
The article also included Chen Yi's basic information and a photo of him, his familiar face appearing particularly unfamiliar and helpless on the screen. As he looked at the report, Chen Yi felt a wave of dizziness. His emotions went from calm to intense, and the pain and unease in his heart were reawakened.
The middle-aged man's eyes were full of concern and confusion as he looked deeply at Chen Yi and slowly asked, "What exactly happened? How did you end up in this situation?" His voice carried a hint of determination, but more so concern and worry for Chen Yi's predicament.
Faced with the middle-aged man's question, Chen Yi felt a deep sense of powerlessness and despair. His eyes were lost and pained, as if recalling terrifying and chaotic experiences. He swallowed hard and spoke with a trembling and sorrowful voice, "I don't know why... That night, someone suddenly broke into my house, and by the time I realized it, I had already been attacked by that person. My parents... they were killed, and I passed out. When I woke up, the house was already on fire... I managed to escape, but that person started chasing me again."
Chen Yi's words revealed deep panic and incomprehension. His body trembled, as if still reliving the horror of that night. His eyes were filled with tears, on the brink of emotional collapse. Every word seemed to be a reenactment of that painful night, his voice filled with powerlessness and despair.
As the middle-aged man listened to Chen Yi's account, his expression became more serious and concerned. He furrowed his brow, deep in thought. His eyes reflected a profound contemplation, as if trying to understand the hidden truth behind it all. His gaze once again fell on Chen Yi with a deep sense of sympathy and understanding.
After a while, the middle-aged man said softly, "All of this sounds too incredible. You must have gone through so much, it must have been very difficult." His voice was gentle and full of sympathy, as if giving Chen Yi the greatest psychological support and comfort.
The middle-aged man listened carefully to Chen Yi's words, his brow furrowed, his eyes showing deep contemplation. He spoke slowly, with a hint of seriousness in his tone, "From your description, it seems that your family may have inadvertently provoked certain people. This planned, large-scale attack is likely deliberate. Moreover, considering that their pursuit of you has not been successful, the person who issued this order is likely to continue looking for you."
Chen Yi listened to this analysis and felt a sense of confusion and perplexity. He shook his head, his face showing incomprehension: "But our family is really very ordinary. My father is an ordinary civil servant, my mother is a housewife, and we have never been involved in any trouble. I really can't understand how we could have attracted such big trouble..."
The middle-aged man's expression became even more serious. He silently listened to Chen Yi's words, seemingly contemplating deeper possibilities. After a while, he took a deep breath and spoke with a hint of calmness in his tone: "In this world, sometimes seemingly ordinary things may hide unimaginable secrets. Perhaps your family's situation is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Maybe there are things that you yourselves are unaware of."
Chen Yi's heart is full of doubts and unease. He feels like he has been caught up in a huge conspiracy, and everything makes him feel at a loss. His gaze gradually loses focus, and his heart is filled with uncertainty and fear for the future.
