Chapter 1217: I Am Your Father-in-Law（15）

Agitated, Cheng Chen reached for his phone but found himself trembling. He couldn’t even swipe his phone screen to input his password.

This caused him to input the wrong password several times, causing the phone to be in auto-lock mode, requiring half an hour before it could be unlocked again.

Cheng Chen controlled his breaths. Ling Tianya was the Ling family’s daughter, and she said she was bought off the streets.

But according to Huang Long’s words, Yu Meizi was the lady who had bought a girl from him. And that meant that the girl that Yu Meizi bought back then was Ling Tianya.

That meant, her daughter was Ling Tianya!

As he realized this, Cheng Chen’s heart began thumping wildly.

All kinds of emotions began surging into him all at once. At last, only excitement and agitation remained.

The thought that struck him back then was right. He had once suspected that Ling Tianya was his daughter, he was right!

No wonder he had a strange sense of connection with Ling Tianya. They could always understand each other, and they had no topic they couldn’t talk about. He always couldn’t help but dote on her.

Turns out, she’s actually his daughter. His care and concern for her, how he understood her and tolerated her, was all due to the innate love he had for her as a father.

It was an instinct, a connection due to their blood ties.

At this moment, as he knew it all, Cheng Chen found himself realizing that he didn’t even mind being a father, and it was only because his daughter was Ling Tianya.

As he watched Cheng Chen’s expression changed, Huang Long asked tentatively, “I’ve said all that I know, can you let me go now?”

Cheng Chen suppressed his stirred up feelings, before knocking on the window. The door opened immediately.

Huang Long broke into a smile, relieved. “Thanks, I’ll get going then.”

As Huang Long got out the car, he heard Cheng Chen ordering those men in black in the car, “Call the police.”

Huang Long was shocked. “Why are you still calling the police? I already told you everything. You promised me, so long as I told you all I know, you’ll let me go!”

“Oh? Really? Did I promise you that?” Cheng Chen gazed at Huang Long craftily, disdain clear in his eyes.

Huang Long paused. Indeed, this man hadn’t explicitly said that he’d let him go. He had only vaguely said, “Say it then.” It was he who had thought that the man had promised him and spilled the beans.

“No! You can’t treat me this way! If I had not bought your daughter from the trafficker back then… no one knows how they would’ve treated her! For all we know, she could’ve died! How would she then be bought off by a rich family and live her life as a privileged girl?” Huang Ying pried the door open, struggling to make his point.

“Do you really think that she led a privileged life?” Cheng Chen’s tone turned cold. He knew better than anyone how tough the days Ling Tianya spent in the Ling Family were. “But, maybe you’re right, if not for you who had bought her, she could’ve been dead by now. But that isn’t a reason for me to let you go unscathed.”

Cheng Chen looked at Huang Long coldly, as if he were looking at a crushed ant struggling to survive.

He had never been a saint. He only wouldn’t let things go if someone crossed the line. And from this moment on, this day on, anything concerning Ling Tianya would be the line he wouldn’t allow anyone to cross.

Cheng Chen suddenly chuckled. There was one thing he couldn’t deny: Ling Tianya and he sure was similar.

“Go!” Cheng Chen ordered coldly.

His underlings immediately dragged Huang Long away, closing the car door.

Soon, Cheng Chen’s car vanished into the darkness of the night.
