Chapter 973 Anticipation and Waiting
"Nannan, calm down! It''s no use even if you go out there! Your Fan is already dead, so even if you go
out there, do you think he wille back to life? What you have to do now is to get well and live on!"
Kong Hui shouted at Chen Nan loudly inside the room.
The news of the Emperor sinking had already hit the news in Japan the night before.
The Princess was still in Japanese waters, so they had received the news too.
In fact, the cruise had sent out lifeboats to help with the rescue mission.
But they were all toote.
By the time the rescue team got there, they couldn''t find anything else but debris.
They couldn''t even find a body that hadn''t been blown to pieces.
The few hundred passengers on that cruise had perished in the ocean along with the cruise itself.
But even so, Japan was still continuing on its rescue mission.
They knew that nobody could possibly survive that sort of attack, but they still had to look like they were
trying.
"That''s right, Nannan. Even if you go there now, you won''t be of any help. The Japanese government
has already sent out rescue teams to look for survivors. If your boyfriend is still alive, they''ll save him.
What you need to do now is to return to China first and wait for his news," Professor An consoled Chen
Nan.
But Professor An knew well that the chances of Ye Fan surviving was probably close to zero.
The entire cruise had sunk, so how many of its passengers could possibly still be alive now?
He had said those things just to console Chen Nan.
After a long time of consoling and persuasion, Chen Nan finally calmed down.
She stopped moring to look for Ye Fan and just sat in a corner all by herself as she quietly stared at
the things that Ye Fan gave to her before he died.
"Oh dear. The poor child." Professor An and his two other students felt bad for her when they saw her
in this state.
Life was as unpredictable as the weather.
Nobody would have expected that this young man who was basking in glory and respected by
everyone just a day ago would suddenly lose his life overnight.
Even though the three of them had some conflict with Ye Fan before this, they still felt sad about his
passing.
"Nobody knows whether tomorrow wille first or an ident wille first."
HUUU...
The sea breeze was still gusting outside the cruise.
Chen Nan and the rest remained in the cruise that was headed for China.
At this time, news of exactly what had happened to the Emperor had not reached the rest of the world
yet, and was still circting within a small group of people.
Over at Zhonghai in China.
An old man was still waiting at the port as he excitedly anticipated and waited for his son to return.
Over in Yunzhou, Qiu Mu-Cheng had also taken leave from thepany to prepare for the birthday
party happening the next day.
The sun rose as usual and the birds continued to chirp.
But neither of them knew that right now, the young man named Ye Fan might have already left this
world.
One day passed very quickly.
The next day, Chu Zheng-Hong left the hotel even before the sun had risen.
ording to schedule, the Emperor was supposed to reach Zhonghai''s port in the morning.
"Gosh, Master, don''t be in such a hurry. It''s only 5AM now, and Young Master''s cruise will only arrive
after 9AM. Even if you''re anxious to meet your son, surely you have to eat breakfast first, right?" Han
had just climbed out of bed and even put his shoes on wrongly because he was trying to run after Chu
Zheng-Hong.
"I''m not hungry. You can go ahead and eat, I''ll go over and wait first. What if the cruisees in early
while I''m eating? Then I''d have waited here for nothing," said Chu Zheng-Hong as he waved his hands.
He didn''t even turn back to look at Han and just hurried over to the port where the Emperor was
scheduled to dock.
Han justughed helplessly. That was the yearning that all parents had after all. But to his surprise,
Chu Zheng-Hong suddenly came running back.
"Master, what''s wrong? Are you hungry after all?" asked Han in surprise.
But Chu Zheng-Hongbed his hair, straightened his suit out, then asked Han very seriously, "Han,
do you think I look ok? Is my hair messy? Is this suit nice enough?"
Chu Zheng-Hong seemed as nervous as a young man meeting his date for the first time and kept
asking Han about his appearance.
Han couldn''t help bursting intoughter on the spot.
"What are youughing about! Gosh! Can''t you be a little more serious?!” Chu Zheng-Hong red at
Han.
Hanughed as he replied, "Master, it''s nice enough, it''s definitely nice enough.
I''ve served you for a few decades now, and I swear that today is the most handsome you''ve ever
been."

Chu Zheng-Hong nodded in relief. "That''s good. I''ll head off first, you take your time with breakfast."
This time, Chu Zheng-Hong didn''t turn back and hurried to the port. He was waiting to be reunited with
his son.
Han was left behind,ughing foolishly as he thought about the past.
When Chu Zheng-Hong was a child, Han was already by his side.
Back then, Chu Zheng-Hong was famous as the handsome and elegant young son of the Chu family,
and was definitely the best looking in Chu Sect.
Chu Sect was made up of three families that had tens of thousands of members, but none of them
could rival Chu Zheng-Hong.
Back then, Chu Zheng-Hong was really ady ma.
Regardless of whether they belonged to the martial arts world or the ordinary world, many women fell
for Chu Zheng-Hong''s charms.
Chu Zheng-Hong waspletely unrivalled in terms of looks and charm.
Before meeting Ye Fan''s mother, Chu Zheng-Hong was a well-known Casanova and had so many
flings.
But after Ye Xi-Mei appeared, Chu Zheng-Hong wandering heart finally found a home.
He finally turned around and settled down.
After Ye Fan was born, Chu Zheng-Hong felt an even greater sense of responsibility and burden.
He officially started his journey of martial arts and cultivated it from the year Ye Fan was born. Content

But when the day came and he had to protect them, Chu Zheng-Hong had failed.
He had suffered ten years of setback and loneliness.
Nobody knew how Chu Zheng-Hong had managed thest decade.
But very few people knew how sad and lonely he really was beneath that glorious surface.
All these years, Chu Zheng-Hong was constantly thinking about how he could bring his wife and son
back to his side.
He wanted them to set foot inside the Chu
family doors officially! He wanted them to be part of their genealogy and to inherit the Chu n!
