“Yu Feng! Stop right there!” Curtailing her smile, her mother’s voice was sharp and frantic, “If you run one more step, I’ll shoot!”
The seven-year-old turned around, the gun in his mother’s hand, pensively comparing him.
The muzzle of the gun, cold and glowing.
“Mommy …,” he cried in terror.
“Come here! Come to Mommy!”
He didn’t move a muscle, his tiny body shivering in the cold wind like a falling leaf in an autumn breeze.
“Do you hear me? Mommy told you to come here!”
In that moment his mother, mad and hideous, was almost completely unrecognizable to him.
His mother pulled the trigger, and on instinct, he turned and fled.
“There was a loud thud, and a bullet went straight into his knee.
Pain …
It hurts …
Sharp, bone-chilling …
The pain that will never be forgotten in this lifetime …
Immediately afterward, the mother dropped the gun in a hasty manner, seemingly shocking even herself by taking a few steps back.
Too late to crawl over and pull, the frail figure disappeared into the penthouse and swung into the wind …
How did Qi Feng, who was still a child, get through the rest of the day?
He always forgets …
Sent abroad by relatives, his accounts were frozen. Alone, dragging his crippled leg, he eked out a living in slum after slum, many times crawling and walking on the ground like a dog.
At that time, the only thing left for him was his destructive hatred, which supported him to live on.
Trapped in this painful memory, Lan Yu Feng was so agitated that his expression was almost distorted. Zhuo Zhenbang, on the other hand, seemed to be no better than him. Between his brows and eyes, all the colors of pain, and in those vicissitudes of the eyes, a few points of remembrance and unwillingness were still hanging on.
Being grabbed by Lan Yu Feng’s entire body and stuck to the cold railing, he didn’t struggle either, just looked straight at the other party, “Rape? If it wasn’t for Qi Yanxiao, Jia Lu would be mine! We should have been good together, it’s all because of your dad! It’s all because of his appearance that …”
“You shut up!” Lan Yu Feng growled and interrupted Zhuo Zhenbang. He, who had always been unassuming, could never maintain his composure in front of his enemies, “Zhuo Zhenbang, you don’t deserve to mention my parents’ names!”
“Jialu and I were each other’s first love, and we were heart to heart. If it wasn’t for your father’s appearance, we would have gone on and on until our heads were white!” Bringing up the heavy past, Zhuo Zhenbang’s emotions flared up. He was also painfully saddened by the mention of the woman he had never gotten until now, the woman he had been haunted by.
They say first love is the best.
But …
After so many years had passed, whenever he thought of his first love, all that remained was endless bitterness and hurt. There … also … roaming guilt …
If …
Had he known that the situation would deteriorate to such an unmanageable point, and would even cost Jia Lu’s life, he would never have done that kind of thing that day at Qi Yanxiao’s funeral hall.
Just …
No amount of remorse can undo anything.
“First love? You still deserve to mention your past?” Lan Yu Feng glared abhorrently at Zhuo Zhenbang, his stern eyes as if he wanted to cut him into five pieces, “Not picking on a demon like you was the most correct thing my mother ever did in her life!”
“I know I’m sorry Jia Lu, but, this kind of thing traced back to the root of all his qi yu xiao fault in the first place!” In his younger years, Zhuo Zhenbang was also blinded by hatred.
Lan Yu Feng coldly laughed, “You can go die now and go underground to find their theories. But I’m sure my mother will tell you again that she loves my father!”
As if afraid that Zhuo Zhenbang couldn’t hear clearly, Lan Yu Feng deliberately aggravated his tone, ”Moreover, no one can replace her father’s position in her heart. For her father, she’s not even afraid to die! And you, Zhuo Zhenbang, what are you in my mother’s heart? Let alone the fact that she might have long forgotten about you, even if she remembers, I’m afraid she’d only want to drink your blood and gnaw on your flesh!”
His words caused Zhuo Zhenbang to shake fiercely, and his hand gripping the railing stiffened to the point of whiteness. Every word was like a sharp blade, ruthlessly thrust into his heart, sharply poking at his soft underbelly.
The pain is unbearable.
He’s not wrong …
Jialu, must hate him …
Even if there is a next life … she will never fall in love with herself again …
Looking at Zhuo Zhenbang with an overly stricken look, the gloom in Lan Yu Feng’s heart seemed to fade a bit. He pushed Zhuo Zhenbang away with force and patted his sleeve in disgust again before turning around and stepping out of the detention center.
Turning, from the darkness, he walked slowly toward the sunlight outside.
But …
The pace, however, was heavy and slow.
At every step, a heavy sadness builds up, so thick it can’t be melted …
After so many years, for the first time, I dare to reveal my scars, and for the first time … I dare to look back on the devastated past …
“Sir, is everything alright?” As soon as Yan Nan saw that his face was as white as paper, he immediately stepped forward with a nervous expression.
Lan Yu Feng’s hand, which was gripping the cane, was vaguely trembling, and it was only after a long time that he spat out three words, “Looking for Su Chen.”
Knee, sharp pain.
It’s not like it used to be.
The last few times, the pain has been a little sharper. Like the nerves in the body were being jerked and picked at one by one the pain was getting, unbearable.
Meng Yuhui appeared at the police station with Zige. Zhuo Zhenbang let two police officers rack them out and sat frozen across the long table.
A glance was exchanged with her daughter before Meng Yuhui asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
“Mr. Blue from the QU Group came by just now, and after Mr. Blue left, he was like this.” The police officer replied.
Lan Yu Feng?
Ziggy’s heart skipped a beat and she stood up with a huff, “How long has he been gone?”
“Just left not two minutes ago, can’t say I’m still out there now!” The other man said as he glanced at the time.
The words only fell, not allowing Meng Yu Hui to say anything, only to see that Zi Ge had already chased out like a gust of wind.
Looking at that back, Meng Yuhui let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.
Recently this period of time, Zi Ge’s state has been muddled, no matter what you do, is slow half a beat look, although insisted on going to work as usual, but listen to Su Jie said that the work state is also very poor. However, today …
Chasing after Lan Yu Feng’s movements, but this sharp.
Meng Yuhui looked at Zhuo Zhenbang with sunken eyes and did not take the initiative to speak.
Zhuo Zhenbang froze for a long time before he finally came back to his senses, seeing his former partner across the street, in his eyes, there was a flash of complexity, and only after that did he heavily spit out a few words, “Looking for me, is it for the sake of Zi Ge?”
“That’s right.” Meng Yuhui nodded frankly. “She wants to meet you, after all, you are her biological father.”
“She knows all about it?”
“I told her everything.” Meng Yuhui nodded again.
Back then, the relationship between Zhuo Zhenbang and his wife deteriorated day by day, and on the day the child was born, Mrs. Zhuo even went into the hospital alone, avoiding Zhuo Zhenbang. However, when Zhuo Yunruo was born, Zhuo Zhenbang, who got the news, still let someone carry the child.
Just …
He didn’t know that in his wife’s stomach, there was a child …
That’s Ziggy.
In the face of Mrs. Zhuo’s bitter plea, Meng Yuhui had to leave them behind for the time being. However, Mrs. Cheuk died soon after due to a family genetic disease.
Zhuo Zhenbang’s gray eyes lifted and looked at Meng Yuhui before he guiltily murmured out, “I’m not a good father …”
To this, Meng Yuhui was not attached, nor was he in any position to pass judgment.
“For so many years, it’s fortunate that you took care of her and saved her from being uprooted outside.” Zhuo Zhenbang Woods said.
Meng Yuhui could feel the deep sense of apology in his tone as well as his pity for his daughter.
Having known Zhuo Zhenbang for so many years, he more or less knew him as a person.
Mrs. Zhuo died with hatred for her husband, thinking that this man is a world’s most heartless man. However, she didn’t know … that the most heartless is sentient …
Too infatuated with Long Jialu to, well, love any woman anymore.
“Zige is my daughter, it’s only right to take care of her.” Meng Yuhui said.
Zhuo Zhenbang smiled bitterly, “Don’t worry, she will always be your daughter, I won’t take her away.”
Mengyuhui didn’t say anything.
He knew his daughter, and even if he found his biological father, he would still be his father. No one could change that.
“I want to ask you for one thing.” Zhuo Zhenbang suddenly said, looking at Meng Yuhui almost pleadingly.
This man, where is the ruthlessness he had when he was about to kill him?
Meng Yuhui folded his hands on the table and looked at him, “Go ahead.”
“What I … wanted to kill you before …,” Zhuo Zhenbang opened his mouth with some difficulty, and in his tone, filled with pleas, “I hope you won’t talk to Zi Ge .”
He …
Didn’t want to end up with a nasty note on her heart.
Meng Yuhui could understand Zhuo Zhenbang’s feelings.
Every father wants to keep a tall image of himself in his daughter’s heart.
“Okay, I promise you.” Meng Yuhui nodded, “She’s very simple, and has always thought that things like you wanting to kill me are just nonsense that Lan Yu Feng lied to her about. Since that’s the case, I don’t want her to know either.”
Ziggy would only feel disappointed if she knew that her biological father had actually moved to kill her adoptive father.
In that case, why bother?
Zhuo Zhenbang nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, “You don t care about the past, I should thank you … almost, that family of yours will be destroyed in my hands.”
“No.” Meng Yuhui looked at Zhuo Zhenbang, “From the very beginning, I’ve been keeping an eye on Geng Jing, and I’ve already guessed that she’s one of yours. Acting out this kind of thing, anyone would do it. Including, me and Geng Jing.”
Zhuo Zhenbang frowned slightly with a somewhat unintelligible look, “You’re saying that Geng Jing is also acting?”
“If we don’t act together, how can we coax you? Geng Jing is your wife’s cousin. From the time she was born until your wife married you, she was brought up by your wife herself. It’s only a wonder that you’ve never put your heart into your wife, so you don’t even know the people closest to her.”
Zhuo Zhenbang was confused for a moment.
“So … you mean … she did that to avenge her cousin as well?”
“Exactly.”
“If that’s the case, why don’t you just give her that information and let her deal with me?” Zhuo Zhenbang asked the unanswered question in his heart.
“I don’t want to involve my wife and daughter. Besides …” Meng Yu Hui looked at Zhuo Zhenbang. The old brotherly feelings from back then were still there, which was why … he hesitated to hand over that information to Geng Jing.
Just …
Unexpectedly, Geng Jing ended up choosing to work with Lan Yu Feng again.
After listening to Meng Yuhui, Zhuo Zhenbang suddenly laughed with a somewhat pale smile.
“It’s all retribution, it’s all retribution! Injustice is avenging injustice. …”
Now it’s all your own fault that you’re in this situation …
Zhuo Zhenbang fell powerlessly into the chair, half of the time just dumbfounded.
Ziggy darted out like crazy and looked around.
A luxurious car drove past. The closed windows prevented her from seeing anyone’s shadow, but the tightening of her heart made her certain that the person sitting in the car must be him.
Lan Yu Feng!
Without thinking, she ran to follow.
She wants kids …
