Chapter 2222 Departure
"I thought I was just talking to myself, but I didn't expect there was an audience."

And such a special audience.

The old man grinned.

After knowing this, the old man felt that the obscure memory was no longer so painful.

Someone, no, a monster, was remembering his brother with him, and he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.

……

Boss Bai was silent.

If it is really as the old man said... then what Master Xiao said... is very likely to be true.

Bogong has a monster friend...

In order to protect his monster friend who was being targeted, Bogong put his monster friend into this jade ball...

Boss Bai looked down at the jade ball in his hand.

Under the moonlight, the jade ball seemed to have absorbed the moonlight, emitting a faint and clear glow.

……

However, things are unpredictable.

My monster friends are safe.

But Uncle Gong got into a car accident...

……

"monster……"

Boss Bai murmured, "Have we really been trapped in this jade ball for so many years?"

From grandpa to dad... and then to him... it really is a very long time.

……

"Yes."

An apologetic look appeared on the old man's face. "It's all my fault-"

"grandfather."

Boss Bai interrupted the old man's self-blame and said, "Didn't Master Xiao say that even if you understood what Grandpa meant, you still couldn't open the jade ball."

"yes……"

“I can’t open it…”

"But I can find someone to help me."

The old man smiled bitterly.

The monk who gave my brother the jade ball...Master Xiao...

After living for most of his life, he finally realized that the so-called masters really exist.

Since his brother was able to find an expert back then, as long as he works hard, he should also be able to find an expert who can open the jade ball.

……

"grandfather."

Boss Bai comforted the old man, "Don't think too much."

"You finally solved the puzzle of Grandpa's last words. Shouldn't you be happy?"

……

"Ah."

The old man nodded, "I am very happy."

"I thought I was going to go into the coffin with a doubt."

"grandfather."

Boss Bai frowned.

The old man smiled and changed the subject, "Now I can finally face my brother."

"grandfather."

Boss Bai was dissatisfied, "Why do you always say unlucky things?"

……

"Hey?"

The old man shook his head. “I didn’t say anything unlucky.”

"I'm going to visit my brother's grave tomorrow."

"With Master Xiao."

……

That's what I mean.

Boss Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

The old man looked like he had no regrets in life and was indifferent to life and death.

It made him a little frightened.

and many more!

"With Master Xiao?"

Boss Bai exclaimed in surprise.

……

"Ah."

The old man nodded, "Actually, it was the monster who wanted to see my brother."

"monster-"

Boss Bai cleared his cough a few times. He thought his performance was too exaggerated. Why was he speaking so loudly?
"Want to see Uncle?"

……

"Yes."

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "At least there is one thing I did turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

"If I hadn't often told Yuqiu about my brother..."

"The monster may misunderstand my brother."

……

"……Too."

Boss Bai was stunned for a few seconds before reacting and nodded.

I've been locked up for so many years.

If the monster hadn't heard what grandpa said and knew that great-uncle died in a car accident and wasn't locked up on purpose, how could he not have felt resentment?

A resentful monster...

He shuddered.

It’s kind of scary to think about.

"Grandpa, look, you've done a lot too."

"There is no misunderstanding between Bogong and the monster. It's all because of you."

……

The old man smiled like a child.

"Ah."

Finally... he did something for his brother.

……"grandfather."

Boss Bai asked tentatively, "Can I go with you tomorrow?"

"I want to go see Uncle Gong, too."

……

"You said you wanted to go because you heard the monster was going."

The old man bluntly exposed his grandson's "hypocritical" words.

Boss Bai smiled awkwardly and admitted honestly, "It's due to both reasons."

"I do want to go see the old man who can see monsters."

……

The old man smiled.

"it is good."

"You may as well go."

"Now we have someone to drive for us."

Mr. Bai: ...

He twitched his lips and said, "Yes, I will be a competent driver tomorrow."

……

"Buzz~"

The phone vibrated.

Boss Bai took out his cell phone.

The familiar number made him exclaim, "Ouch!"

"what happened?"

The old man asked with some concern.

"fine."

Boss Bai smiled bitterly, "My parents called me earlier and asked me to come back after I finish my meal at your place."

As a result, he completely forgot about it.

He answered the phone.

"mom."

Boss Bai put away his phone.

"I'll go back tomorrow."

"Grandpa, I'll sleep at your place today."

After all, we have to set off early tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Xiao Xiao rang the doorbell of Mr. Bai's house.

"Come in."

"The door is unlocked."

From the yard came the old man's vigorous voice.

Xiao Xiao pushed the door open.

Then I saw the old man standing in the yard.

"Lao Bai."

Xiao Xiao greeted with a smile.

"Master Xiao!"

Before the old man could speak, a voice sounded before him.

"Boss Bai."

Xiao Xiao looked at the middle-aged man who strode out of the house.

There weren't many surprises on the surface.

"Master Xiao is here really early."

Boss Bai looked at the sky in the east which was just beginning to turn white.

"I wanted to pick you up."

"Thank you."

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "But the cemetery and the school are in two different directions."

"It would be a waste of time to come pick me up."

"You're here now anyway."

Boss Bai shrugged.

"I don't have a chance to answer it even if I want to."

"Master Xiao, have you had breakfast?"

The old man came over.

"Xiao Rong and I are just about to eat. Would you like to join us?"

"Xiao Fang's craftsmanship is good."

"I've had breakfast."

Xiao Xiao was not surprised by the old man's change of address.

Anyway, he is used to this name.

"Then eat some more."

The old man waved his hand, "Come on, you have to wait anyway."

"It's better to eat while waiting."

Unable to refuse the old man's hospitality, Xiao Xiao also sat down at the dining table.

"Master Xiao."

The old man pointed at his grandson.

"He wants to go with us later."

"May I?"

Xiao Xiao smiled, "It's up to Mr. Bai to make the decision."

He makes the decision?

The old man grinned and said, "Then let this kid go with us."

"We just happen to be short of a driver."

What a great grandpa.

Boss Bai smiled bitterly.

But he assured her, "Don't worry, I will definitely reach my destination safely and quickly."

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, but the car had already driven out of Mr. Bai's door.

"Master Xiao."

The old man looked at Xiao Xiao hesitantly.

"You say."

Xiao Xiao smiled at the old man.
