Chapter 283: Chapter 283: A Case from Over 30 Years Ago_1

All the way, Hai Xiaotang was very uneasy, “What happened to Grandfather?”

“He better not be in any trouble…”

Hai Xiaotang was very anxious, but Dongfang Yu remained silent.

He simply drove faster, rushing to the old Hai Family mansion at top speed.

They arrived in no time. Hai Xiaotang got out of the car as soon as it pulled to a halt and rushed into the main entrance.

Dongfang Yu watched her retreating figure, complexity flashing in his eyes.

“Grandfather, Grandfather…” Hai Xiaotang shouted even before she entered the living room.

In the living room, there were only Hai Lan and Mother Zhang, no one else, and no Hai Zhiyuan.

“Miss, you’re finally back. Are you alright?” Mother Zhang asked her, concern in her eyes.

Hai Xiaotang didn’t answer and countered, “Mother Zhang, where’s Grandfather? What happened to him?”

Mother Zhang looked visibly upset, “Master Hai, he…he…”

“What happened to him?!” Hai Xiaotang asked anxiously.

Hai Lan calmly said, “Grandfather was taken away.”

Hai Xiaotang turned around abruptly and asked, baffled, “What do you mean? What do you mean he was taken away?”

Hai Lan shook her head, “I’m not quite sure, some people from higher up took him away. My parents have already gone to find out what’s going on.”

Hai Xiaotang was taken aback again, “People from higher up?”

“It seems to be related to a case from many years ago, so they took him for investigation. I don’t know anything else.”

Hai Xiaotang stood there, stunned, “What case?”

“I don’t know.” Hai Lan shook his head.

But Mother Zhang suddenly said, “Miss, I know a little…”

Hai Xiaotang quickly turned to look at her, both eager and anxious.

Mother Zhang hesitated a moment, and then said, “When they took Master Hai away, I overheard them say that they were to investigate a case from over 30 years ago, and the case was related to…to…”

“Related to what?” Hai Xiaotang asked impatiently.

Mother Zhang looked up to see Dongfang Yu entering the room, and his murky eyes made her inexplicably nervous and scared.

Following her gaze, Hai Xiaotang looked a little bewildered, “Mother Zhang, what’s wrong with you? Quickly, what else is the case related to?”

Before Mother Zhang could answer, Dongfang Yu spoke in a low voice, “Everyone, leave. I need to talk to Hai Xiaotang alone.”

Everyone was momentarily taken aback.

Mother Zhang was the first to react, she promptly left with Hai Lan.

In the living room, only Dongfang Yu and Hai Xiaotang remained.

Dongfang Yu’s face was grave, and there was a complex light in his eyes that she could not fathom.

Hai Xiaotang had a bad feeling about this…

She stared at him, carefully asking, “What do you want to talk about?”

Dongfang Yu remained silent for a moment before answering in a low voice, “About a case from over 30 years ago.”

“…” Hai Xiaotang’s foreboding got worse, “You know about it?”

Dongfang Yu slowly nodded, “I do, because it involves our Dongfang Family.”

“…” Hai Xiaotang reeled, her face turning pale.

It seemed she had guessed something…

Dongfang Yu’s face was also solemn. He stared at her and slowly narrated, “Surely you have no idea that over 30 years ago, under my grandfather’s leadership, the Dongfang Family reached its peak. But in a single night, everything was destroyed, even to the point of our family being annihilated! Do you know why?!”

As Dongfang Yu asked the last question, Hai Xiaotang thought she saw a flash of hatred in his eyes!

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart seemed to be suddenly gripped by a hand!
