Hartawan To couldn't help but smile blandly when he heard Li Yong's answer. He knew he wasn't lying. As someone who already has a lot of experience, Hartawan To can certainly tell which people are lying and which ones are not.
And regarding the young man in front of him at this time, in any way there was no hint of a lie.
"I believe," he replied after a moment of silence.
"Good. You do have to believe," Li Yong replied.
After saying that, the young man immediately turned around. He immediately walked away from there, without even paying attention to the people who had been watching him closely.
The steps remain the same. Keep it slow with your head down.
Anyone who saw him, would immediately know that he was a person who was always lonely.
Hartawan To was still standing there. He did not tell his men to chase Li Yong, nor did he tell him to teach him a lesson.
This kind of scene had just happened in the history of his life. Nine of his own men felt a little astonished. Because their employers don't usually act like that.
Even though anyone knows, when someone dares to act impudently in front of him, it is certain that that person will get a 'lesson' right away.
But why is Hartawan To silent now? Not only did he not give lessons, he didn't even tell his men to do anything.
Even though what the young man named Li Yong had done was outrageous. Not only did he disrespect Hartawan To, he even dared to lower his self-esteem by killing one of his subordinates in front of his own eyes.
If you don't witness it firsthand, who will believe this incident?
I don't know how long it had been, Hartawan To just stood stiffly as he continued to stare at Li Yong who was already a considerable distance away.
At that moment, suddenly a smile flashed. No one knows what that smile means.
"Let's go back," Hartawan To said to all his men.
They all nodded. A moment later, these people immediately walked away from there.
###
Midday is past. Dusk has arrived. The mountain breeze blows bringing a chill. The air is very cool. It was quiet in the forest. The only sound that could be heard was the chirping of birds that had just returned to their respective nests.
Li Yong was standing still. His body was as straight as a spear. His face remained cold. His pair of eyes remained gray.
Seen from the outside, the young man was like someone who was tough and strong to endure life's trials.
But is it true? Is his heart also tough, just like the outside?
In front of him is a tomb. A simple tomb already filled with weeds. The weeds that grew above and around the tomb were already very tall.
Maybe because it's been too long.
Just imagine, this tomb was made tens of years ago. With no one to care for, no one to look at.
If someone else was in his position, surely he would not be able to find the location of the tomb.
Fortunately the one in that position was Li Yong. Not other people!
So even though the tomb or grave was filled with weeds, he could still find it.
Because he is not vinegar looking to rely on the sharpness of his eyes. But rely on the heart and feelings too.
Please note, the tomb belongs to the only person who has the most meaning in his life. The person in the tomb was Grandpa Li Beng. The old man who once saved his life.
Apart from him, is there really another human who matters the most?
Suddenly Li Yong moved. He immediately cleaned up the weeds that grew there. After he finished, he immediately fell down. He fell to his knees.
"Ten years … ten years have passed. How are you, Grandpa? Do you still remember me? Look, now I'm back again. I've grown up too ..."
Li Yong was unable to finish his sentence. Suddenly his throat felt choked by something invisible. Unknowingly two drops of tears fell on the tomb.
Who would have thought, the young man who appeared cold and seemed heartless, was still able to shed tears. Can still cry.
If it's really heartless, why is he crying?
Isn't crying a sign that someone still has feelings?
Li Yong remained silent without speaking. He didn't move at all. His eyes just stared at the tomb fixedly. Various kinds of bitter memories began to cross his mind. Grandpa Li Beng's smile and jokes came back.
It was the most beautiful time in his life. He wanted everything to happen again.
But alas, it is just an empty fantasy.
Memories that have passed, can it really come back again?
Li Yong stood up from his position. The young man then walked away from there. He wanted to buy incense to burn near the tomb.
Half an hour later, the young man was back again. In his right hand there was a small pocket. One of the contents of the bag was incense that he bought at the nearby market.
Incense is available, now it remains only to burn it on the tomb.
But when the young man had reached the side of the tomb, suddenly his facial expression changed greatly. His whole body trembled. The bag he was carrying suddenly fell to the ground.
Surprise was evident on the cold face.
Grandpa Li Beng's grave is gone!
Where is the tomb? Why did it disappear? What actually happened?
All kinds of questions suddenly appeared in his mind. Li Yong could not understand why this could happen.
He still remembers that this is where the tomb was. Li Yong was very sure of this.
But why isn't there now?
For a moment, he could only stand still. The boy tried to calm himself down. A moment later, after his feelings had calmed down, Li Yong began to pay attention to his surroundings.
He doesn't believe in supernatural things. Li Yong doesn't believe in demons. Therefore, he believed that there was something behind this incident.
The young man suddenly crouched down. His five fingers immediately pressed against the ground that had become a tomb. Once pressed, his face changed again. The ground he was holding turned out to be sinking in.
He looked around, Li Yong again found something!
Gradually the young man noticed the footprints. Although it was very thin and could not be seen clearly, but he was also very sure that they were human footsteps.
Li Yong approached the steps. He wanted to make sure. And it turned out to be true, what he saw was indeed true!
Those are human footprints.
Meaning, it meant that someone had come here and dug up Grandpa Li Beng's grave.
But, who is the culprit? Why did the man dig the grave?
