Why would the old man be making such a hesitant call to them?
Should I call them and have them pick me up?

He had finally managed to see his grandson, so he definitely didn't want to go back. Once he went back, he would have no contact with his grandson, and he was somewhat unwilling to do so.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you also dislike having me around? Besides, what's wrong with letting them look for me? We pay them so much every month, and those old guys are so idle, yet they still know how to complain about you. Anyway, I don't want to call them. It's better if they come to me in a hurry, since they always complain about you."

Grandpa can be willful sometimes, and Feng Tianci can't do anything about it. Although the matter here has been resolved and foreign forces can't affect him, Grandpa is so old, and it's not good for him to be running around and working so hard by his side.
“Grandpa, I understand that you want to come with me and travel the world with me. I know that you are physically capable of keeping up. But the steward has been with you for so long. If you don’t have a good talk with him, won’t he get sick from all the worry at his age?”

The old man's heart softened a little when he heard Feng Tianci mention the housekeeper.

After all, he had grown up with the butler since childhood, and there had never been any conflict between them.

He thought to himself that he wouldn't say anything to others, but he would still say a few words to the butler.

"Alright, then I'll have a good talk with your butler grandpa, at least to reassure him, and I'll also have a good chat with the others. But you're not allowed to run away halfway, and you're not allowed to call them over to pick me up. You know I'm tired of staying at home, and my health has recovered."

Since Grandpa was sick last time, the medicine Feng Tianci prescribed for him has been quite good!

After conducting a thorough examination to ensure that the old man had no worries, Feng Tianci was able to confirm that the old man's health was indeed very good!
"It's alright, your health is naturally fine. Just tell them to rest assured, I definitely won't kick you out. This time I'll take you around to see the sights. Anyway, my affairs here have already been resolved."

Upon hearing that his grandson wanted to take him around, the old man was overjoyed. He called the housekeeper and explained that he was with his grandson. The housekeeper didn't believe him and had to ask Feng Tianci to answer the phone.

Upon answering the phone, Feng Tianci first greeted the housekeeper!

"Grandpa Butler, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things here. You take good care of yourself at home, and the other grandpas should also take good care of their health. Otherwise, there's nothing else to worry about. I'll keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble."

After Feng Tianci finished speaking, the butler finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was extremely worried about the possibility that the old man might be harmed outside.

Seeing that the old man was likely to be alright, the butler finally felt relieved and gave Feng Tianci a lot of advice.

"Remember to make sure the old man gets some rest. He's been using his phone a lot lately, often staying up until midnight, and sometimes he can't get up in the morning."

After the butler finished giving his instructions, the old man didn't dare to say a word. He did have this hobby, but who knew he would be exposed.

"Okay, I'll definitely keep an eye on Grandpa. You all take good care of yourselves."

Feng Tianci could still hear the grandfathers' voices pounding on the other end of the phone; they must want to chat with him a little longer. But time was limited, and Feng Tianci knew that if they chatted any longer, all of them might come over, and he definitely wouldn't be able to take care of them all by himself. He quickly hung up the phone, and sure enough, the old men on the other end were still quite unhappy.

"Did this kid know what we were after? Although he wasn't our biological grandson, we were all very close, practically like his own. How could he just die like that without even saying a few words to us? This kid really forgot about us old folks after seeing his grandfather."

"Anyway, I reckon this kid has figured out what we're up to, and he won't let us find out his location. He's probably afraid we'll follow him. We have no choice, though. Now that the old man's gone, we're the ones who have to take care of things at the company. Nobody's allowed to run away."

"Sigh, who told us to be born to be beasts of burden? Taking care of our bodies is so that we can better serve as beasts of burden."

They spoke slowly and deliberately, and at that moment they all felt that Feng Tianci was having a great time outside. The old man was so smart; although Feng Tianci didn't want him to go, he still went anyway.

"Don't worry, everyone. The old man is having a good time over there and nothing will happen to him. Besides, he's with Feng Tianci, so there's no chance of any other accidents."

"As long as the old man is alright, we can all rest assured. As for the old man, he has worked hard and made great contributions for half his life, let him enjoy himself outside."

Once the butler spoke, the other old men stopped talking. They all knew perfectly well that the old man had indeed worked hard for half his life, and now that he was taking a break, none of them had any objections.

"I'll let him off this time, but if he wants to go out again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Alright, everyone, stop focusing on him. There's a ton of work to do at the company. Let's go check it out. Otherwise, those young people definitely won't be able to handle it."

"We have no choice but to let the old man go this time!"

After hanging up the phone, the old man quickly looked at the sunset, pretending not to see Feng Tianci's gaze. When Feng Tianci saw his grandfather, he knew that what the butler said was true.

Grandpa is really like a child in many ways, and he even stays up late like young people.

"Grandpa, although I've taken care of your health, you can't stay up late too often. Also, I just touched your arm, and you've had some alcohol, so it seems you're not exactly honest."

“How am I being dishonest? Don’t listen to the housekeeper’s complaints. Sometimes the housekeeper’s complaints aren’t true. Besides, I think the housekeeper is just jealous that I’m out there. He’s complaining to you just to get you to send me back sooner.”

While the two were bickering, the boat had already set sail, and since the old man wanted to go fishing, Feng Tianci had no choice but to accompany him.

It's been a long time since I've gone fishing with Grandpa, and he's often away, so I've definitely neglected him a bit. (End of Chapter)
