Chapter 515: Autumn Called for the Maples to Turn Red, But Love Called for the Pines to Remain Green!
Chinatown.
In a small boat.
Jiang Feng, who was lying in a bed, woke up hazily.
He could smell a sweet scent on his pillow, and he immediately awakened from his haziness.
“Are you awake?”
At this time, Hesland came in. When she saw Jiang Feng wake up, she quickly helped Jiang Feng sit up.
“Where is this? Why am I here?” Jiang Feng asked Hesland weakly.
Hesland was stunned and she blinked, then she looked at Jiang Feng in surprise. “Did you forget what happened yesterday? You sent me back home, remember?”
When Jiang Feng heard what Hesland said, he was slightly frozen and then remembered what happened.
After he had killed those people that wanted to kill him, he was also shot thrice. He took in an Enhancing Pill, then left with Hesland by getting on a car. With Hesland’s guidance, they reached this place.
But as soon as he got off the car, he blacked out.
Logically speaking, the Enhancing Pills could heal his gun wounds.
However, he had ignored the fact that one of the three shots was to the abdomen and the other two to his back. One of the shots hit his central nervous system and broke it. In normal circumstances, even if he did not die, his lower half would have become paralyzed.
But luckily, he had the Enhancing Pills. While it could heal his nervous system, the process was quite slow. The intense pain had caused him to eventually black out.
Luckily, the Enhancing Pills had healed all his injuries. However, as he did not have enough energy nor did he have enough nutrient, that caused him to be very weak.
Once Jiang Feng understood what had happened, he quickly took out the other half of the Enhancing Pill and ate it.
Next, there was an intense pain coming from his body. He could feel the injuries on him slowly healing. His weakness was also all gone. He had become very spirited, and he could feel his body being filled with strength.
Once his body had returned to peak condition, he got out of the bed and put on his jacket, and then said to Hesland, “Thanks.”
“You…”
Hesland knew what happened to Jiang Feng. He was shot thrice, but he was already up and about like nothing had happened. She was so shocked that she could not say anything.
After leaving the bedroom, Jiang Feng was shocked.
He saw that on the walls of the little boat, there were many calligraphy and artwork. An old woman around seventy years old was painting a picture of a family in autumn.
She was painting a maple forest with golden maple leaves drifting down from above. Under the maple leaves were a pair of husband and wife walking under the falling maple leaves.
The husband and wife were looking at each other, their eyes filled with love, reluctance, and anxiety.
The baby was sucking on his thumb as his big eyes looked at the maple forest with a smile on his face as if it was his good fortune to be able to be born into this world.
Autumn called for the maples to turn red, but love called for the pines to remain green!
After she was done, she then placed her signature at the corner of the painting.
The words, for some reason, almost made Jiang Feng break into tears.
He felt that the painting had some connection with him.
Perhaps he was paying too much attention to the painting, he did not realize that he was already in front of the painting, and was staring right at it.
“Young Master, are you familiar with what happened in the painting?” At this time, the white-haired old woman asked Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng nodded subconsciously.
“This painting is about the Master bringing you and your mother to have a walk shortly after you were born. I followed behind them, and I have this scenery seared into my mind. When I saw you once again, I remembered that scenery, and so I drew this painting!” The old woman continued.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng broke out of it and quickly looked at the old woman, and asked in shock, “What did you call me just now?”
The old woman gave him a smile. “Young Master!”
Jiang Feng pointed at the old woman and said, “You are…”
The old woman continued, “I was the Jiang family’s caretaker for many years and had taken care of your father since he was little. You can call me Mrs. Charlie.”
“Grandma Charlie, do you know where my dad is?”
After listening to what Mrs. Charlie had to say, Jiang Feng understood that this American old lady was his family’s maid. That meant that she had served his family for so many years since his grandfather’s time, and no matter what, he had to show her some respect by calling her “Grandma.”
Mrs. Charlie then said, “Your father has something important to do today, so he couldn’t come and meet you. Child, why did you come here so suddenly? None of us knew! Luckily, nothing happened to you yesterday. Otherwise, the master would be furious. But it was such a coincidence for you to return together with Hesland. If it weren’t because of you fainting in my place and your father’s men coming here, you would have died!”
Perhaps it was because Mrs. Charlie was getting old, she was quite talkative, but he did manage to get some information from her.
Hesland and Mrs. Charlie were both his father’s loyalists and there were others that wanted to kill him yesterday, but his father’s men had cleared them out, so he was still fine despite blacking out.
But the most important piece of information was that his father was going to do something big, something extremely dangerous.
The American beauty Hesland had also heard what Mrs. Charlie had to say as she walked out of the room and stared at Jiang Feng in surprise. She suddenly walked in front of Mrs. Charlie and asked, “Grandma, this is the young master that you said was in China?”
Mrs. Charlie nodded with a smile and said to Hesland, “Yes. Originally, I even wanted to marry you off to our young master. Unfortunately, you rejected. And now, someone else got him instead. Do you have any regrets?”
“Grandma, what are you saying?” When Hesland heard Mrs. Charlie say something like that, her entire face turned red as she ran back to her room shyly. But when she ran back to her room, she gave Jiang Feng a good look, with regret in her eyes.
Jiang Feng was not paying attention to their conversation, and instead asked Mrs. Charlie anxiously, “Grandma Charlie, can you tell me where my dad is? He’s in great danger now, and I must look for him!”
Mrs. Charlie then said with a smile, “I have received information that your dad might have fallen into a trap!”
“What?! Really?!”
“Tell me where my dad is!”
“I do not know where he is, but you can go to the Animal Arena in Chinatown. Maybe he’s there!”
“Animal Arena?”
…
Jiang Feng did not expect his father to have built an Animal Arena in the United States as well.
Once he knew where his father was, he said his goodbyes to Mrs. Charlie and headed straight out of the room.
Before he went, he took the painting as well. Since that was the only picture that he had with his whole family in it.
After he left, he thought to himself, ‘I wonder if Mrs. Charlie and Hesland were really just a coincidence or arranged by my enemies. Regardless, I cannot trust anyone in the United States.”
He did not know if Mrs. Charlie and Hesland were really his father’s men. It was too much of a coincidence.
He could not completely trust anyone. That was why there were some things that he could say, but there were some things that he did not say.
