nWhat an irony.

nIn the past, Yun Na would look at him with disdain and would call him distasteful names.

nNow, she was kneeling beside him and begging for mercy while kowtowing.

nLi Hanlin, who was standing beside him, hatefully shook off her hands that were holding the boy’s shoulders.

nLi Qin was also crying tearfully before the boy as she crawled to him on her hands and feet, prostrating and begging for forgiveness.

n“Youyou, are you really going to get rid of us? At least, for the sake of your grandfather, please let us go! This is murder; it’s against the law and against your conscience!”

n“Oh? I’m buying murder…” Yun Tianyou casually muttered and then, with an eerie smile, asked the room at large, “Who heard that?”

nThere was a deafening silence in the room.

nWho would believe the words of a six-year-old child?

nHow would it be possible for a six-year-old child to instigate murder?!

nIn the suffocating silence, his adoptive aunt kept prostrating before him with her head repeatedly knocking hard against the floor as she exclaimed hoarsely, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m wrong; I know I’m in the wrong!”

nShe cried wretchedly as she reached out to hold him.

nThe boy ignored her and coldly shook off her hands.

n“Don’t touch me; you are filthy.”

n“Wo… woo… wooo… Youyou…” Her tear-stained face looked desperate and pathetic.

n“I can’t forgive…”

n“I absolutely cannot forgive…”

nHe retracted his shoulders, turned around, and coldly retorted, “Li Qin, six years ago, you forced my mom to become an unwed mother at 18 years old. She sacrificed herself for the Yun family, but how did you treat her in the end?”

nHe continued, one word after another, “Li Qin, I’ve long wanted to get rid of you.”

nYun Na mournfully wept and begged again, “Please give us another chance!”

nHe rebuked, “I’ve given you many chances, but you two didn’t know how to treasure them!”

nLi Qin was stunned.

n“I strove to become powerful for my mother’s protection. You two tried harming her time and again, and now you’re asking me to forgive?! Impossible!”

nWith that, he turned and walked out of the ward.

nLi Dongqiang’s henchmen arrived at the scene of Li Qin wailing after the little boy’s leaving back, “You can’t be so cruel!”

nThe boy refused to acknowledge her. He quickly departed from the room, leaving behind the two’s despondent voices.

nWhen he reached his room, Yun Tianyou stood at the door, which was just closed after him, and started to tremble coldly and violently.

nLi Hanlin was filled with heartache at this sight and held him tightly. The boy’s frail body could not stand up to such trauma and collapsed in his arms.

nAlthough this child was not his flesh and blood, he had come to regard him as half his kin after working under him in the past one year.

nHis heart was full of admiration for the child at his unscrupulous ways of handling business.

nSeeing the boy’s cute side before his mother and the innocent eyes he used to gaze at his mother, he could tell that they were not fake. They were truly his original true self.

nHowever, hatred had blackened this purity.

nHe had thought that the boy was acting before everyone.

nHe no longer thought so after this incident.

nWhat kind of childhood did this child have that made him commit such cruelty?

nCruel, indeed…

nThis was especially so for a child.

nHe had not fully understood Yun Tianyou’s dark and gloomy past that resulted in his drastic desire to kill.

nUnder the dimming dusk, the man hugged the child tightly in his embrace with a heart-wrenching pain.
