Glorious God Throne

Huayang Airport was in chaos.

The plane Gong Fang was about to board was about to take off, but his only ten-year-old son had disappeared, causing an uproar.

His roar echoed through the crowd, “Where is he? How can a living person just disappear, what use are you all?”

The several bodyguards and assistants who were scolded were all downcast, but they dared not retort. They also didn’t expect that just going to the airport restroom for a few minutes, a ten-year-old child would just disappear like this.

At this time, the crowd did not realize the seriousness of the problem, thinking that it was just a temporary separation due to the large number of people at the airport. After all, it wasn’t some important royal relative, always worrying about terrorist organizations or foreign forces that do not submit to Yao Country’s rule.

Gong Fang roared a few times, vented a lot of anger, and seeing that the check-in time had passed, he had to reluctantly wave his hand.

“Forget it, this flight is destined to be delayed, hurry up and find the airport staff to announce the missing person notice.” As he spoke, he snorted and said angrily, “This kid is getting more and more rebellious, this time I must teach him a good lesson, let’s see if he dares to run around in the future!”

Others agreed on the surface, but they didn’t think so in their hearts.

Who doesn’t know that Gong, who was only forty years old, had such a precious son, and the child’s mother thus jumped from one of his many lovers to become the legitimate Mrs. Gong? With such a lifeblood, where would he dare to touch a single hair?

…….

The broadcast sound echoed again and again in the airport, reaching everyone’s ears, and also reached a shop located in a secluded corner on the first floor of the airport.

This shop had been closed for many days, and there was a “For Lease” sign on the door.

Inside the shop, in the basement.

“Come on, cheers!” Listening to the faint broadcast sound in their ears, a few people raised their glasses with a sense of accomplishment and let out a triumphant laugh, “Haha, I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly! This time it’s really thanks to your plan, kid, and finding such a good place! Don’t worry, you won’t be left out of the benefits afterwards. Ten percent! When the money comes in, I’ll give you ten percent!”

The speaker slapped the shoulder of the young man who called himself [K] with a hearty laugh, even belching, looking like a boss rewarding his little brother.

At this point, the few people had long lost their initial vigilance and caution, their faces showing an expression of absolute trust in him.

Seeing the few people being so generous, the quiet young man from beginning to end smiled slightly, “Indeed, it’s very good.”

Seeing him so understanding, the few people were even more satisfied, “Not bad, you young man have a future. If it weren’t for you, our plan might not have been successful. Such a big kid, how easy is it to not be discovered? When they find out the child has been kidnapped, they must think we took him to some remote mountain to hide, who would think that this little devil has been hidden by us in the airport and never left?”

As they spoke, someone was already rubbing their hands excitedly, “The hostage is also in hand, is it time to knock him for a sum? Gong Fang, that old fellow, is rich!”

As they spoke, the eyes of several people involuntarily fell on the young man sitting on the side, as if they wanted to hear his opinion – from meeting to now, less than a day, they already had such trust in him.

Perhaps, the easiest thing to bring people closer and enhance trust is to participate in a common crime???

The young man who called himself [K] nodded, “Indeed, it’s time to start the next step of the plan.”

He stood up and snapped his fingers lightly.

“——Before that, you all can exit first.”

The faces of the few people changed in unison, “What do you mean?”

“Simply put, you have already played your value.”

“Good boy! Are you trying to black eat black?” (TL: (of a villain) to do the dirty on another villain; describes conflict, betrayal, or competition among people who are already engaging in illegal or unethical activities.)

This statement couldn’t be clearer, the few people were both shocked and angry, they slammed the table and got up, ready to teach this guy a good lesson.

But the moment they got up, their heads suddenly felt dizzy, a strong sense of vertigo surged in their heads, everything in front of them became blurred, the world was spinning–obviously, they had been hit!!

The wine bottle on the table fell to the ground with a crash.

Several heavy bodies also fell down.

“Ah, I originally wanted to give you guys important supporting roles, but you guys are just not useful!”

The young man with black hair and black eyes spread his hands in a helpless manner, then bent down and casually picked up one of their phones, typing out a number he had memorized long ago.

One by one, the words appeared on the phone screen.

….…

As the broadcast sounded again and again, and the person was still not found, Gong Fang’s heart gradually rose.

Just like an apple eroded by wormholes, his heart was also gnawed and eroded by growing panic.

Just as Gong Fang was considering whether to call the police, the phone in his trouser pocket suddenly rang.

Gong Fang had a bad feeling in his heart.

He opened his phone, and the first thing he saw was a photo. The boy in the photo was too familiar to him.

“Xiao Tian!” Gong Fang exclaimed, his face turning pale.

Without saying a word, he dialed back the number.

As soon as the call was connected, Gong Fang couldn’t wait to speak, “Who are you? What do you want to do? As long as you don’t hurt my son, everything is negotiable, no matter how much money you want——”

With a “click”, the call was directly hung up.

Gong Fang didn’t have time to redial, the phone rang again, receiving the first text message besides the photo.

[Let’s play a game. A game that decides whether you can have a son to take care of you in your old age:).]

[What do you want… ] Gong Fang was still typing, the person on the other side seemed to guess his thoughts, several more messages appeared, directly interrupting his action

[You can choose to refuse, and from then on, lose your only son. Lose the inheritor of your bloodline in your heart, the treasure of carrying on the family line, the sole heir to your vast family business.]

[Or, choose to accept. Then abide by the game rules, do everything according to the rules. Don’t waste each other’s time, asking me boring questions that won’t get an answer.]

Seeing this, Gong Fang was already burning with anger, but thinking of his son, he had to temporarily suppress all his emotions.

[Now, the game begins.]

[Within one minute, walk out of the airport alone, representing that you choose to accept this game.]

Looking at the cold words on the phone screen, Gong Fang’s face was gloomy, and he waved his hand to the assistants and bodyguards who came up, “You go first, I have something to do alone.”

The moment he turned around, taking advantage of the blind spot, he lit up his phone and made a “call the police” gesture to the always astute assistant.

Just at this moment, another message was added.

[Oh, I almost forgot to say, I don’t care if you call the police. However, this game must be completed by you alone from beginning to end – I believe you don’t want to know the result of violating the game rules.]

Gong Fang’s expression stiffened, he stopped talking, and ran quickly towards the exit of the airport, looking somewhat embarrassed.

When he left the airport, he indeed received another message.

[You chose to accept the game, the journey of an old father saving his precious son is about to unfold. Whether this choice is right or wrong, perhaps you will be able to make a judgment soon.]

[Next, please accept your first task – arrive at Xiangliu Village before noon today.]

Gong Fang’s face was slightly stunned, “Xiangliu Village?”

….…

“Signal tracking failed, the kidnapper’s hacking skills should be quite brilliant, no trace of the kidnapper has been found for the time being…”

Gong Fang’s emergency call attracted the attention of the Yuanyang City Police Department.

Due to the Rainy Night Serial Murder case, most of the police force had been dispatched, and excellent police officers such as Li Fufeng had also been transferred to the Special Case Investigation Team. At this time, the Yuanyang City Police Department was severely understaffed, and suddenly received such a kidnapping case, they had to quickly divert manpower, and the Special Case Investigation Team naturally also learned of this news.

But a few short hours were obviously not enough to find out anything.

Gong Fang was also afraid of angering the kidnapper, affecting his son’s safety.

The police then turned their attention to the location of Xiangliu Village.

This was where Gong Fang was born. No matter how one checked, it’s just an ordinary small mountain village. Although it belonged to Yuanuang City on the map, it was far behind the outside city due to many years of closure and isolation.

More than ten years ago, Gong Fang, in order to repay his hometown, specifically brought a group of children to the city to sponsor their education. Unfortunately, children were naturally playful, and in the end, they didn’t achieve anything. Most of the children still followed the old path of their ancestors.

At 11:50 in the morning, Gong Fang drove to Xiangliu Village.

Because he dared not violate the game rules, he was alone, but he carried some equipment in hidden places on his body, including an earpiece for contacting the police.

Xiangliu Village was located in the mountains, the mountain road was steep, the terrain was remote, a luxury car that only appeared on TV suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village, immediately attracting the attention of a group of old people and children.

Out of curiosity, the villagers flocked over. There were also children peering into the car.

Their faces were still covered with mud from playing, their clothes were wiped with snot and saliva, their fingers left a fingerprint on the car as soon as they touched it, which was disgusting to look at.

Gong Fang sat in the car, his brows couldn’t help but frown.

The phone rang, and finally a message came.

[Very good, punctual people are qualified to continue.]

Gong Fang couldn’t help it anymore, thinking of his son made him anxious, he quickly replied, “What should I do?”

[This place must be very familiar to you–as the place where you were born, as the place where you grew up, as your hometown that you haven’t seen for more than ten years.]

[The villagers here undoubtedly know you well. After all, as an orphan who was able to grow up successfully and achieve what you have today, each of them has undoubtedly contributed to your life.]

[But after achieving success and fame, you were ashamed of this.]

[You repaid them in your own way.]

Gong Fang was somewhat irritable, “What are you trying to say…”

[That was an interview for a program about local entrepreneurs in Yuanyang City.]

[A month before the start of the interview, you got the news in advance. In order to show your benevolent, kind, and hometown-repaying entrepreneur image, you, who had never returned after leaving, chose to bring thirty-three children to the city to sponsor their education.]

[The parents of the children were overjoyed and grateful. A month later, when the reporter came to understand you, a local entrepreneur, and went deep into Xiangliu Village, the villagers spoke highly of you during the interview. The children who had been taken to the city for a month also admired you immensely. When interviewed, they treated you more affectionately than their biological parents in front of the camera.]

[——When the program was broadcast, you got the good reputation you had always dreamed of, becoming a model of gratitude.]

[However, those children whom you used your connections to send to the city to study, because they did not abide by the discipline in school, indulged in play, socialized with social figures, and developed various bad habits such as playing online games, were eventually persuaded to drop out by the teacher and returned to the small mountain village.]

[Three months of golden dreams passed, their lives returned to the past, but they could no longer accept it as calmly as before. Among them, twelve children went astray in their later lives, and the other twenty-one also had a hard life. That dream, apart from achieving your brilliant reputation, seems to have not improved anyone’s life.]

[Knowing this, you sighed hypocritically, who told them not to cherish the opportunity. The parents of the children sighed in disappointment, only blaming their children for being too incompetent.]

[——But is this really the case?]

Gong Fang’s face changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to block the phone screen, but the information appeared faster than his hand.

[It seems you know very well. In fact, in order for the children to show their close admiration for you during the interview, and for them to show their happiness after their lives changed in front of the camera, you did not send them to school at the first time, but took them to play in the city for a month first, exposing them to too many things they shouldn’t have seen.]

[This month of crazy play opened the children’s eyes, their good feelings for you were unparalleled, but your unrestrained indulgence also let them experience the taste of indulging in pleasure before their minds were mature, and they completely lost themselves in the huge contrast between the past and the present life. They should have worked harder to keep up with the progress of the schoolwork in the city, but they are no longer willing to suffer. When they returned to their original mountain village, the huge gap in the shattered dream destroyed them!]

[You, who created all this with your own hands, enjoyed all the flowers and applause, and were regarded as a benefactor by all the villagers.]

[Xiangliu Village made you, you destroyed the future of Xiangliu Village.]

[What if they knew the truth?]

Gong Fang’s face had completely sunk. At this moment, he wanted to turn the steering wheel and leave directly.

But the safety of his precious son was like an invisible rope that tripped him, making him hesitate, his face changing.

The information on the phone didn’t give him more time to hesitate——

[Please open the car door, and then get out of the car.]

[Forgiveness or judgment–I look forward to this answer.]
