Chen Kai didn't seem to quite grasp what the old man was saying.
Seeing the bewilderment in Chen Kai's eyes, the old man abruptly grasped his hand.
"Are you reneging on your promise? You once assured me..."
Chen Kai was taken aback, finally understanding, he hurriedly tightened his grip on the old man's hand.
"Rest assured, I stand by my word, I am not one to break promises."
Only then did the elderly man nod approvingly.
"I hope you remember what you've said. If you break your promise, I won't rest even in death beneath the earth. I'll haunt you as a vengeful ghost."
Chen Kai, holding back his tears, nodded vigorously.
"Do not worry, old man, I will take good care of Zique."
The old man finally looked at peace, slowly closing his eyes.
Qiao Zique had been mentally prepared for this, but when the moment arrived, she found herself unable to accept it. She collapsed onto the old man, weeping uncontrollably.
