Chapter 99 Maple Leaves

His eyes were filled with boundless red, and the blue sky and snow-white clouds had formed a beautiful painting.

"It's autumn now. The maple leaves on the Maple Mountain are blooming just right," said Corbett. "They're quite beautiful, aren't they?"

"Yes." Frank nodded. To Corbett's surprise, he didn't antagonize him this time.

The fiery red maple leaves spread all over the mountains, and it made the mountains look like a crimson ocean.

A gentle breeze blew past the fringes on Frank's forehead as he stared into the horizon.

The corners of Corbett's mouth curved into a smile as he glanced at him.

"There is a Chinese poem," Frank said in Chinese without turning his head. "'The frost dyed leaves are redder than early spring flowers.' It's beautiful, like the scenery before us."

"Well, 'Fond of late fall maples, I stop my carriage. The frost dyed leaves are redder than early spring flowers.'" Corbett smiled. He was also familiar with Chinese poems.

"Do you know ancient poems too?" Frank was taken aback.

"I'm half Chinese," replied Corbett, taking a step forward and standing side by side with him. "My mother is Chinese."

Frank raised an eyebrow, he was a little surprised.

"My father brought her here." Corbett continued, "It's a pity that she passed away when I was still a boy. Because I missed her, I honored her memory by learning about my Chinese heritage."

Frank touched his nose and

rry.

"Hey, wait a minute." Corbett called out Frank, his mood had changed. "Why are you walking away so fast? Don't you want to learn how to shoot?"

"I already knew how."

"Really?" Corbett smiled. "You just blushed."

"Fuck off! You're just imagining things!"

"Impossible..."

As soon as William got off the plane, he rushed to the Liang Family's house.

The Liang Family was in shambles.

"Are they still unwilling to let him go?" Elise cried, "What do they even want? My poor child..."

"What's the use of crying? Crying won't do you any good!" Felipe shouted in anger, "What else can I do! They are from Shadow Organization!"

"I... I..." Elise burst into tears even worse.

"Father, Mother." Suddenly Nancy's voice came from the corner of the second floor, "What did you say? What's happened to Frank? Answer me!"

"Oh, my God!" Elise shouted, "Why are you here? You're pregnant! Go back and get some rest! Nothing happened!"

"No." Nancy hurried down the stairs. "I heard everything! They captured Frank, didn't they? Tell me!"

"Well..."

"Father, Mother, why did you hide it from me?" Nancy panicked. No wonder Frank's father had asked him to come here a few days ago but she didn't see him all this time. It turned out that he got caught.

"Don't worry. It's going to be fine." Elise hurried to hold her.

"Master." An old servant came in and said, "William Lan is here. He wants to see you."
