Chapter 49 - Watanabe's Mansion

Yushen felt it was absolutely impossible. It was possible that what Mr Zhang and Madam Wang had said about Sifeng's mother was just a lie. Or perhaps, they had indeed been lied to by Sifeng's mother?

A residence of this size is more like the headquarters of a group of yakuza, Yushen thought again.​​

Dozens of men in black suits stood guard around the house. Yushen even doubted whether he had remembered the address wrong? However, Yushen was bestowed by God with a good memory. So, it was impossible for Yushen to remember wrongly at this point.

Good grief! Thinking of all that, made Yushen forget Sifeng. Yushen turned his head towards Sifeng, who was still standing behind Yushen's body.

Seeing Sifeng's current expression, reminded Yushen of a child who was very afraid to go to school for the first time.

Yushen could even see Sifeng's body shaking with fear. At this moment, Sifeng looked as if he was carrying a very heavy weight on his shoulders.

Sifeng grabbed Yushen's hand.

"Let's just go home, shall we?! I'm really feeling scared right now, Yu Ge!" Sifeng said. Still begging Yushen to just go back to Beijing for now.

"We've come this far, and you want to go back home? Seriously, A-Feng?! I don't want our trip to go to waste!" Yushen snapped.

Hearing Yushen's decision, Sifeng didn't react anymore. It seemed, Sifeng knew very well that if Yushen had already made up his mind, then no one would be able to change that decision.

"Let's go in!" take Yushen.

Sifeng was silent, did not answer. Yushen then wrapped his arms around Sifeng's shoulders, trying to calm his voice.

"Calm down, A-Feng! I will always be with you, Brother!" Yushen said, sounding so soft to Sifeng's ears.

In the end, Sifeng nodded slowly. He agreed to enter his birth mother's residence.

Before they had pressed the bell, the gate of the house was already wide open. It was as if he had been waiting for Yushen and Sifeng to come.

"Please come in, Young Master! Miss Haruhi is waiting for you!" said one of the men in black suits. The man bowed his head to Yushen and Sifeng.

Yushen grabbed Sifeng's wrist, inviting his brother to come in. Yushen could feel Sifeng's body temperature was very cold at this time. Yushen didn't know that the change in his sister's body temperature was due to the weather or Sifeng was just nervous?

Yushen and Sifeng passed a dozen men in black suits. All the men lined up straight on the right and left side of Yushen and Sifeng. The men looked down at Yushen and Sifeng.

One of them, escorted Yushen and Sifeng to the main residence.

When they arrived at the living room, Yushen saw that there was a woman in her 40s standing in the living room. Yes, she is Zhang Sifeng's mother.

The woman looked very young. Sifeng is currently 22 years old. Yushen imagined that the woman might still be in her teens when she gave birth to Sifeng, Yushen's half-sister.

Next to the woman, stood also a man in his early 65's. His stature is big. This man looked very dignified in Yushen's eyes.

Yushen pulled Sifeng's hand back to draw closer to the man and woman earlier.

Yushen smiled for a while, before finally Yushen pushed Sifeng to get closer to his family. Being pushed suddenly, made Sifeng glare, disapproving. Yushen was deliberately teasing his brother. If it wasn't forced like that, surely Sifeng would still continue to hide behind Yushen like a child.

"My grandson!" said the old man as he pulled Sifeng's body and hugged him.

Sifeng was at a loss as to how to react. So, Sifeng just stood still at this point. One of Sifeng's hands grabbed Yushen's hand, which was still behind Sifeng. Sifeng instead gripped Yushen's hand tightly when he got his brother's hand.

Really, Sifeng's behavior looks like a child about to enter a new school, Yushen thought. "Kheh! That's ridiculous!" Yushen muttered.

Sifeng's birth mother also joined at this time, they both hugged Sifeng. As if to express their longing for both of them.

Now finally, Sifeng let go of Yushen's hand, which Sifeng had been squeezing all the time. They led Sifeng into one of the rooms. Yushen didn't know what the family -- who had not seen each other for a dozen years -- would talk about.

Another man in a black suit, now escorted Yushen to rest in one of the guest rooms that had been provided.

Oh yeah, Yushen almost forgot to contact his father. Yushen asked permission to use the phone in the house. Then, Yushen contacted his father who was still in Guangzhou, telling him that Yushen and Sifeng were currently in Japan.

Hearing the whereabouts of his sons, who were suddenly in Japan, of course Mr. Zhang was very shocked.

Over the phone, Mr. Zhang asked, how did Yushen and Sifeng get to Japan? In fact, Yushen and Sifeng's passports and visas are still in China?

However, Yushen instead answered his father's question with a sentence that did not connect. Like, Yushen just said that they are currently fine. An answer that had absolutely nothing to do with Mr Zhang's question.

-Beijing, China-

Madam Wang is in a meeting regarding the exhibition which will be held in 1 month. This is the largest antique exhibition to be held at Wang's Art Gallery. In fact, Wang's Art Gallery was also the place where Wu Zhishu, Yushen's lover, worked.

After the meeting, Madam Wang went to her study. There was Manager Zhen waiting for Madam Wang in Madam Wang's room.

"Good afternoon, Madam Wang!" said Manager Zhen.

"Sit down!" Madam Wang said as she sat on the swivel chair. She looked at Manager Zhen who was currently also sitting opposite Madam Wang. The two people were separated by a desk.

"Any news from Zhang's 2 illegitimate children?" asked Madam Wang. At the mention of 'Zhang's illegitimate child' Madam Wang's eyes were filled with hatred.

"The informants we paid for, said they saw Mr. Yushen and Mr. Sifeng at one of the train stations in Japan, Madam Wang." Manager Zhen spoke. He reported everything he knew to Madam Wang, his superior.

"Japan? How come? Aren't they still in Guangzhou?" Madam Wang shrieked. She even banged on the table, which was in front of him.

"No, madam. Our informants reported that they were at Tokyo station this afternoon." Manager Zhen spoke again.

"Make sure they don't return to China safely!" Madam Wang ordered. While saying that, Madam Wang smiled faintly. What a terrible smile.

It seemed, Madam Wang was still planning on eliminating Yushen and Sifeng from this world.

***

A week had passed since Yushen and Sifeng were in Japan. They both feel comfortable living in Watanabe's main house.

Yushen and Sifeng were currently still at the residence of Grand Master Watanabe, Sifeng's grandfather. They plan to return to China tomorrow. Yushen could now see the happiness in his brother, Sifeng's eyes.

Yushen was currently enjoying tea in the small garden in the main house. Enjoy this beautiful afternoon.

The snow on the branches and twigs glistened in the twilight. Yushen really likes to enjoy the beauty of the orange sky.

Whereas inside the main house, Sifeng happened to be in front of his grandfather's study at this time. Sifeng intends to say goodbye to his mother and grandfather, because tomorrow Sifeng must be back in China.

The door to his grandfather's study was slightly ajar. Sifeng didn't go in right away, because inside there seemed to be a serious conversation.

However, when Sifeng was about to turn around, he gave up. Sifeng's steps were suddenly halted. Sifeng overheard his grandfather and mother's conversation.

Sifeng's expression suddenly changed. Sifeng's body went limp and seemed powerless. Sifeng's eyes filled with tears. However, Sifeng still continued to listen to the conversation behind that door. Don't know what Sifeng is listening to at this time.

Now, Sifeng could no longer control all the emotions inside him. Sifeng's cry broke. Sifeng's body was shaking so much that Sifeng accidentally bumped the jar on the side.

Pyar!!

The sound of the jar breaking as it toppled over. Instantly made the men and women in the room turn their heads towards Sifeng.

"Sifeng?" Call them together.

However, Sifeng was actually caught off guard by eavesdropping. Sifeng who had previously fallen to the floor from hitting the urn, now got up. Sifeng ran out. Still with tears streaming down Sifeng's cheeks.

Yushen, who was still sitting in the garden side yard at the moment, was very surprised when he saw his brother running towards him. Yushen frowned when Sifeng suddenly came to see him.

Sifeng immediately grabbed Yushen's arm when he was near Yushen.

"Come on, Yu Ge!"

"Where are you going, A-Feng? What's wrong with you? Where are you taking me?" Yushen asked, confused. He was having a good time drinking tea, when suddenly Sifeng grabbed Yushen's arm and led him somewhere.

"We're going home right now, Yu Gege!"
