Chapter 218 Cut off the beard
"In two days, no more than a week, I will meet up with you," Liu Taihe said, kissing Eriko on the forehead again, "Then we will go to America, Europe, South America, or anywhere we want to go. By the way, don't you want to go to Hawaii? We'll go there then."
Holding Eriko's hand with one hand and caressing her lower abdomen with the other, Liu Taihe smiled and said, "As long as we can successfully leave this damn place, the world will be as vast as the sky and the sea for us in the future, and we can travel freely."
Eriko looked at him with eyes full of worry. After a long time, until Liu Taihe avoided her gaze somewhat unnaturally, she sighed softly, stretched out her arms, and hugged his waist, sobbing softly: "You are always like this, refusing to tell me anything."
After sobbing for a while, she continued, "I'm scared, Taihe brother."
Her weak and frightened appearance could arouse a strong desire to protect her in any man.
It must be admitted that the reason why Liu Taihe was fascinated by her was because of her weak appearance. She was like a delicate and cute newborn animal, staring with a pair of big eyes full of panic, hiding in a dangerous corner somewhere. Anyone who passed by wanted to take her away and take good care of her.
Moreover, the more chauvinistic a person is, the more likely he is to escape this temptation.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything!" Seeing her like this, Liu Taihe, who was originally still in fear, suddenly became more courageous. He hugged her tightly and said.
"Remember what I said. Tomorrow morning, catch the flight I booked for you to Hong Kong." After spending some time with Eriko, Liu Taihe seemed to remember something. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. Then he pushed Eriko away and said, "I have to go now. Believe me, I will definitely meet you in Hong Kong. Don't worry."
After saying this, he turned and walked towards the entrance.
"Brother Taihe!" Eriko took two steps over to him, hugged his waist from behind, and sobbed.
At this moment, Liu Taihe's heart seemed to be touched by something. The corners of his lips twitched and the muscles on his face twisted for a while. Finally, he seemed to have made a decision. He grabbed Eriko's hand and turned around on the spot.
At this time, Eriko was crying bitterly, her small face, which was the size of a palm, was covered with tears, and her pink and rosy lower lip was bitten, with blood all over it.
A trace of pain flashed across Liu Taihe's face. He lowered his head and kissed Eriko's lips, kissing away the blood on her lips, and then tried to wipe away the tears on her face. However, Eriko cried so sadly that her tears just dried and soon flowed again.
"Don't cry, Eriko, believe me, I'll be fine," after comforting the woman, Liu Taihe reached into the collar of his down jacket again, and after a moment, took out an exquisite small black fleece bag.
He stuffed the bag into Eriko's hand and reminded her, "Take good care of the things in the bag. If... I mean if, I haven't met you in Hong Kong in a week, you should take it to the HSBC Bank in Hong Kong and find a manager named Guan Weibai. I have some things stored with him, and you can take them out."
Eriko cried and refused, saying she didn't want the bag he handed over at all.
"Be obedient, Eriko," Liu Taihe was a little anxious. He grabbed Eriko's hand, stuffed the bag into her palm, and said, "I will be fine."
This sentence seemed to be comforting Eriko, but also seemed to be comforting herself, "However, it is better to be safe than sorry, so for the sake of the baby in your belly, some necessary preparations must always be made in advance."
He patted the bag in Eriko's hand and said, "The things in this can ensure that you and your child will have a worry-free life in the future, so you must listen to me and keep it safe, understand?"
Eriko sobbed and shook her head, then nodded, and the tears on her face were wiped away by the movement of her head.
Liu Taihe felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He wanted to ignore everything and just run away with the woman in front of him and escape from South Korea. However, he knew very well in his heart that if he didn't make corresponding arrangements and just ran away like this, neither he nor the woman would be able to escape.
"Okay, I have to go. Remember what I said, do you hear me?!" Resisting his heartache, Liu Taihe pushed the woman in front of him away and reminded her again. Seeing her nod with sobs, he turned around again and walked quickly towards the entrance.
After leaving Eriko's residence, Liu Taihe took the elevator all the way down to the underground parking lot. When he got out of the elevator, he was blown by the cool breeze, and his bloated head instantly became clear.
Thinking of the small bag he had just given to Eriko, he felt a little uneasy. At that moment, he even had the urge to turn back and take the bag back.
However, he did not do so after all. Looking back on the past, he believed that Eriko loved him and was loyal to him. Most importantly, Eriko was pregnant with his child. If he really could not escape this time, the things in the bag could indeed guarantee their future lives.
Liu Taihe raised his head and exhaled at the elevator door. He smiled self-deprecatingly. Forget it. Just leave a seed for the Liu family. His father is dead. His eldest brother has no children and has become a paraplegic who is not much better than a vegetable. If the inheritance of the Liu family does not want to be cut off with him, they can only rely on the unborn child in Eriko's belly. Today's decision is not only for himself, of course, nor for Eriko, but for the inheritance of the Liu family. Yes, that's the reason!
After some mental struggle and discarding the urge to turn back, Liu Taihe hurried back to the car and drove all the way back to downtown Seoul.
On the 11th floor of the residential building, at the door where Ryuta and others had just left, Eriko watched the number above the elevator door jump to "-1", and her sobbing stopped instantly.
She raised her long eyebrows, then went back into the house, not forgetting to close the security door.
After passing through the entrance hall and returning to the living room, Eriko wiped the tears from her face with the edge of her palm, walked back to the bedroom, and took out a mobile phone from a secret compartment under the bed.
Her cell phone was turned off, so she took the opportunity to open the bag that Liu Taihe had given her and poured out everything inside.
There were only three things in the bag: a golden, oddly shaped key, a jade seal, and a folded piece of letter paper.
Eriko first looked at the seal, which had Liu Taihe's name on it. It was obviously his personal seal. Then, she unfolded the letter paper, which had 16 neatly printed groups of numbers and letters, each group of 8 digits. She didn't know what they were used for. Finally, she picked up the key and looked at it. Although she had never seen such a key, she knew it must be from the bank safe. After all, Liu Taihe had told her before.
After checking all three items and turning on the phone successfully, Eriko stuffed the three items back into the bag, then took out the phone, found a number from it, and prepared to dial.
Just when her finger touched the screen of the phone but had not yet pressed it, Eriko hesitated again. She looked down at the phone number on the screen, her delicate and beautiful face full of hesitation. The lip that she had bitten before began to bleed again.
She just sat on the edge of the bed, without any movement for a long time. Just from the expression on her face, you could tell that she was having a difficult decision to make.
After sitting there by the bed for five or six minutes, Eriko finally made a decision. She pursed her lips, coughed twice, cleared her throat, then picked up her cell phone and dialed the number in her address book - this was the only number in her phone.
The phone rang twice, and someone answered it. Eriko spoke first. Unlike before, this time she spoke in authentic Korean: "Mi-yeon, it's me."
"You've been on the phone for such a long time, and you're calling me only now. Has Liu Taihe already been to your place?" If An Rushong were here, he would probably be shocked, because Eriko's call was actually to Han Miyeon.
And from the tone of Han Mi-yeon's voice, it seemed that there was something on her side that could tell whether Eriko's phone was turned on.
On the phone, Han Miyan's voice sounded a little cold, "You got the things, and have you thought about running away by yourself?"
"I didn't!" Eriko hurriedly explained, "Sister Meiyan, I..."
"Okay," Han Meiyan interrupted her and said, "It doesn't matter whether you have thought about it or not. What's important is that since you called me, it means you have made a decision."
Her voice became much softer, "Eriko, I'm very happy now, you know?"
Eriko's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say it.
"Tell me now, did you get the thing?" Han Mi Yan continued on the phone.
"I don't know," Eriko said, "Ryu Taihe gave me a key, a seal, and a piece of letter paper with a bunch of numbers and letters written on it. According to him, the key should be the key to the safe deposit box of HSBC Bank in Hong Kong, and the seal should be an identity certificate, but I don't know what the thing on the paper is."
Han Meiyan on the phone was silent for a long time, then said, "I see. Leave there immediately and go to Room 14 on the 1401th floor. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up."
"Okay, Sister Miyeon," Eriko nodded. She had two residences in this building, and Room 1401 that Han Miyeon mentioned was one of them, but Liu Taihe knew nothing about it.
