God of Racing

Chapter 627 - 614

The sky brightened, and the sun shone down.

Yu Sangwan still stood there, her head spinning terribly, her face looking pale and dreadful.

"Alright... thank you." Le Zhengsheng hung up the phone nearby, sighed, and walked over, "Wanwan, let’s go!"

"..." Yu Sangwan bit her jaw tightly, neither speaking nor moving.

She hadn’t expected that Helian Si would actually not come out all night.

Le Zhengsheng looked on with compassion, "Stop waiting, he won’t come out from here, he went to Datong Temple, there’s a blessing event there today."

Yu Sangwan finally reacted, her lips moved slightly, "Alright, let’s go now!"

...

Upon reaching Datong Temple, the surroundings were already under tight security.

Thankfully, with the help of Le Zheng’s connections, they pretended to be staff and sneaked in.

Datong Temple was built on a mountain with a vast perimeter. Once inside, they didn’t know Helian Si’s exact location.

Yu Sangwan frowned and grabbed Le Zhengsheng, "Le Zheng, let’s turn on our phone’s GPS... and split up to search!"

"But..." Le Zheng was hesitant, "I’m worried about you, in case..."

"There’s nothing to worry about!" Yu Sangwan interrupted him irritably, "It’s already like this, could things get any worse? If I’m discovered, I’ll just state my father’s name, Fu Xianlin’s name, they’ll still have to show some respect."

Le Zhengsheng could do nothing but agree, "Alright, be careful."

"Mm!"

Parting ways with Le Zhengsheng, Yu Sangwan treaded cautiously with each step.

Crossing a gate, there was a long stone staircase ahead leading to somewhere unknown to Yu Sangwan. As she proceeded step by step, she suddenly heard someone speaking.

"Who?"

Yu Sangwan’s spine stiffened, the voice sounded vaguely familiar to her, she slowly turned around and saw Helian Shuang standing in front of her.

"..." Yu Sangwan’s eyes heated up, her mouth slightly agape, unsure of how to address her. With Jinxuan gone, although she was his wife, she never got the chance to change how she addressed his parents.

Helian Shuang was also surprised, quickly stepping forward, "Wanwan! What are you doing here?"

"Auntie." Yu Sangwan couldn’t control herself anymore, furrowing her brows as she spoke, "I’m here to see Helian Si... is he here?"

"..." Helian Shuang was taken aback, understanding her intention, and shook her head firmly, "I know what you’re thinking, but... Wanwan, Helian Si is my brother, he is not Jinxuan!"

Yu Sangwan’s pupils contracted, and her face turned ashen. These were the words she most dreaded hearing!

But, Helian Shuang hadn’t finished.

"Wanwan, how long has it been since Jinxuan left? Although I understand your feelings, they are uncle and nephew! Aren’t you afraid that Jinxuan would be heartbroken seeing you run after Helian Si like this? Jinxuan is my son, no one knows better than I do that they are two different people!"

She paused, "Don’t be confused! If he were Jinxuan, you were betrothed since childhood, how could we separate you both? Would I gamble with my son’s life?"

These words were a death sentence to Yu Sangwan!

She stood upright, her face burning hot as if she was slapped harshly.

"Wanwan, listen to me... don’t act rashly, alright?" Helian Shuang gently touched her hair, her words sincere.

Yu Sangwan held her breath but couldn’t release it, she could only nod, "Auntie, I’m sorry."

"I’ll have someone escort you out..." Helian Shuang was anxious, Yu Sangwan had to be sent away immediately! Otherwise, if Helian Si saw her, who knows what kind of trouble it might stir!

Yu Sangwan shook her head, already feeling completely dejected, "No need, I’ll leave on my own."

Silently turning around, it felt as if all strength was drained from her body.

Watching her back, Helian Shuang’s eyes turned cold, "Someone! Follow her, don’t let her get close to the president!"

"Yes!"

Yu Sangwan retraced her steps, lost and disoriented. Suddenly, her phone rang shrilly; it was a call from Fu Xianlin.

"Hello, Dad?"

On the phone, Fu Xianlin’s voice was urgent, "Taotao! Dad didn’t want to disturb you, but... ever since you left, Little Mantou has been feverish, with severe vomiting and diarrhea! He was admitted to the NICU last night!"

"..."

Yu Sangwan furrowed her brows, almost losing her balance, "Little Mantou..."

"Taotao! Helian Si is just Helian Si, stop dwelling on it and come back!"

Hanging up, Yu Sangwan was already in tears. She glanced back at the towering temple, raised her hand, and gave herself a hard slap, a sharp ’smack’ resounded!

"I’m sorry, Jinxuan, I’m sorry, Little Mantou... I was so foolish!"

Suddenly, she turned around and knelt down, leaning forward on the stone steps, bowing heavily, once, twice. Today was a day of blessings, under the dim light, Yu Sangwan choked out, "It was my mistake! Please bless my husband Jinxuan’s rest, and also bless our child, to be healthy and safe!"

She didn’t know how many times she bowed until her forehead broke... blood flowed down.

"Wanwan!" Le Zhengsheng came running, out of breath, "I searched everywhere and couldn’t find you, you..."

Yu Sangwan lifted her head, smiling bitterly, "No need to look anymore, he’s not, it was my delusion... Jinxuan is Jinxuan, Helian Si is Helian Si, how could I stubbornly mistake someone else as him?"

Tears rolled down her cheeks, "Little Mantou is sick, it seems even the heavens find me absurd! It’s a punishment for me!"

"Wanwan..." Le Zhengsheng felt heartache but couldn’t help her, "Don’t think like that."

Yu Sangwan sniffed, trying hard to stop her tears, "Let’s go, let’s go home... Little Mantou is waiting for me!"

...

The blessing ceremony concluded, Helian Si led his men towards the back, and on the way to the steps, he suddenly stopped.

"President?"

Ou Guanshen inquired doubtfully, lowering his voice, "What is it?"

Helian Si frowned, remaining silent, his gaze gradually moved downward. His spotless handmade leather shoes shifted to reveal they were positioned over a bloodstain...

He frowned mockingly, "In such a holy place, such a thing?"

The head of Datong Temple remained calm, with a slight smile, he pointed upward, "This road is called the Blessing Steps. Many people have the tradition of bowing their way up, praying for the peace and happiness of their family. So, to see blood here... it’s warmhearted."

"Oh?"

Helian Si raised an eyebrow, unexpectedly pausing in front of everyone, his fingertips gently brushed over the bloodstains.

"Master..."

"Yes, Mr. President, please go ahead."

Helian Si’s hand stained with blood, without wiping it, his lips curled, "I have something I wish to leave here, to soak up the warmth you mentioned..."

Dismissing everyone, Helian Si took out an item.

It was a delicate box, containing something... apart from himself, no one knew what it was. He handed it to the head of Datong Temple, "Master, please keep this safe."

"Of course," the head smiled faintly, "When will you come to retrieve it?"

Helian Si shook his head, not even he knew.

Perhaps, tomorrow, or... after years to come.
