Chapter 474: Brothers

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Why was Fang Pingjue afraid of him?
The reason behind this was worth thinking about.
Chi Boguang had already labeled Fang Pingjue as’ this person will die a horrible death ‘, but his expression was indifferent and gentle.
Everyone saw that the unfamiliar man, who had not had any expression just a moment ago, suddenly curled his lips and gave Fang Pingjue a friendly smile. “Third Brother.” Fang Qingyun was the eldest, he was the second, Fang Pingjue was the third, and Fang Pingjun was the fourth.
When Fang Pingjue heard him say “third brother”, his heart ached.
It was really him!
He stood there with his cane, his pants still empty. He looked like he was about to fall and was on the verge of collapse.
Chi Baoguang walked over quickly.
Xu Pingfei only saw a black shadow flash past. In the next moment, that person went to Fang Pingjue’s side and held his shoulder. Chi Baoguang was about three centimeters taller than Fang Pingjue. In addition, he had never stopped exercising all these years. Standing beside Fang Pingjue, his body was upright and dignified. He really did not seem to be the same age as Fang Pingjue.
All these years, something had happened to Fang Pingjue’s legs. It was inconvenient for him to move, and he rarely exercised. Not only had he gained weight, but his temperament had also become more dispirited. When he stood beside the strong and thin Chi Baoguang, the scene was a little dazzling.
Chi Baoguang held Fang Pingjue’s hand. He lowered his head and looked at Fang Pingjue’s slightly white face. He asked with a smile, “Third Brother, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy to see this brother return?”
Fang Pingjue’s lips trembled for a long time before he pretended to be happy. In reality, his words were not sincere as he said to him, “Big Brother, you’re actually not dead! This is great! This is great!” He was so excited that his entire body was trembling.
Wan Lang and Xu Pingfei could feel Sir’s excitement and joy.
Only Chi Boguang sensed the deep fear Fang Pingjun felt.
When brothers meet, they naturally have to catch up.
Xu Pingfei personally brought tea and snacks for the two of them, then thoughtfully sent all the servants away. She and Wan Lang also retreated.
The brothers sat at the coffee table in the courtyard and played out a touching scene.
“Big Brother, where have you been all these years? Back then, you suddenly went missing, and Dad and I had a hard time finding you. Later on, the police told us that they realized that the last place you appeared was in the South Pacific…” Fang Pingjue held his head with his hand and sighed.” The Pacific Ocean is so wide, where do we start looking? ”
“The police persuaded us to give up, but Dad and I were unwilling to accept it. We searched for more than two months on the island near the sea, but we found nothing…”
Fang Pingjue explained what happened after Chi Boguang disappeared in a few words.
When Chi Baoguang heard this, his eyes revealed a hint of grief. He said, “I-I was taken away by a group of people that time.”
“Who?”
“Where did they take you?”
“We coulsn’t find it no matter what! Big Brother, how did you escape?”
Fang Pingjue asked a few questions in one breath.
Chi Baoguang snorted in his heart, but he looked especially puzzled. He asked Fang Pingjue, “I haven’t said who took me away. Why are you asking me how I escaped? How could you think that I was locked up? Perhaps I was invited to be a guest?”
Fang Pingjue was stunned, and his heart skipped a beat.
Chi Boguang watched as he quickly regained his composure. Then, he explained, “You’ve been missing for so many years. Why didn’t you send a message back? You must have lost your freedom.”
His explanation was fine.
Chi Baoguang said, “I’m the one who’s stupid.”
“These years have been quite exciting for me.” Chi Boguang looked up at the blue sky and white clouds.
Wasn’t it exciting?
He could only see the blue sky, white jade, and the sea every day, but he could not float without a trace like the white clouds that were coming and going with the wind.
Fang Pingjue asked softly, “Then Big Brother, where have you been all these years?”
Chi Baoguang fabricated a random reason. “Me? I was almost killed in the sea and was saved by the captain of a cruise ship. However, I forgot all my memories and was brought back to his hometown by the captain to be a pirate for a period of time.” As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeve and pointed at the scar on his arm. He said, “These are all scars left behind by me dominating the sea over the years.”
Fang Pingjue’s lips twitched and he asked, “Are you a pirate?”
“Yes.”
If he did not know what was going on, Fang Pingjue would have almost believed his nonsense.
At this moment, Chi Baoguang sighed again and said, “I don’t have any memories, no status, and I have to live. I have to make a living.” He said faintly, “During the years I’ve been a pirate, my days have been quite comfortable. Other than occasionally fighting and killing, I’m usually quite carefree.”
“All these years, those who have provoked and hurt me have all been slaughtered by me!”
He raised his hands, palms facing the blue sky, his hands facing away from him. He narrowed his eyes and watched as the gaze flowed from his fingers. Images of his hands shaking and his feet shaking when he first killed someone flashed through his mind. The images appeared in his nightmares. He said sadly, “My hands are stained with blood and I don’t deserve to see the sun anymore.”
Fang Pingjue’s heart skipped a beat.
He secretly swallowed his saliva and did not dare to look at Chi Baoguang’s hands.
Chi Baoguang suddenly retracted his hand and turned his head to stare at Fang Pingjue. He smiled and asked, “Third Brother, you won’t report me for killing someone, right?”
Fang Pingjue quickly shook his head. “No, no.”
Seeing that Chi Boguang seemed to not believe him and was still looking at him, Fang Pingjue added, “You’re also innocent. You lost your memory and did it because you were forced.”
“It’s good that you understand.”
Fang Pingjue nodded, but he was vomiting blood in his heart.
A few days ago, he found out that there was a riot in a prison. All the prison guards were killed and all the prisoners escaped. That night, he had a nightmare. He dreamed that Chi Baoguang had returned and wanted to kill him.
These few days, he had been thinking that Chi Baoguang might have died in prison.
After all, 35 years had passed.
He had been thinking about this while standing in the garden.
Who would have thought that he would really come back!
Fang Pingjue naturally did not believe Chi Baoguang when he said that he had been acting as a pirate who was killing and pillaging everywhere.
But he had to believe it!
Fang Pingjue had to pretend that he did not know about Chi Boguang being locked up at the cliff.
If Chi Baoguang knew the truth back then, he would definitely…
Fang Pingjue resisted the urge to tilt his head and peek at Chi Baoguang’s hands.
He did not want Chi Baoguang’s hands to be stained with his blood.
Chi Baoguang suddenly said, “I heard that you already have children and have three wives.”
Fang Pingjue swore that he could hear mockery in Chi Boguang’s tone. “Yes, yes.”
Chi Baoguang added, “I also heard that you married my girlfriend after I went missing.”
