Xia LingYun(15)

A gloomy man was sitting in a room with dim lighting. His abnormally pale half face if one peeked from side , was beautiful as sculpture. But if you look at him from front , you would find out the burned other half of face riddled with potholes. His shriveled legs couldn't hide thier abnormally thin size like a bamboo stick even with blanket on them.

The atmosphere must haven't been this scary if it wasn't a man lying on ground with crushed legs like minced meat held by two big men on both sides and another man wearing gloves holding his hairs , making him look straight up at the devil he provoked.

Xia JunFeng was sitting on his wheelchair , sipping a cup of coffee calmly , which was in contrast to the scene that should have played.

" You said Qin and Wu family and those old geezers sitting here were one resposible ." he said in a soft tone to the man on the ground.

20 years ago , when he first took office , he was plotted. He almost died. Then he was drugged and then one of his bodygaurds at that time. His bones were crushed and half of his face was burned with acid.

He hated everything. Punished every one of the culprits . It's just that there's always a fish that slipped through net.

The bar he hid was where Young Mater of Qin family waited for him to jump into the trap he meticulously designed.

Once he was found having a relationship with a man , those people would have a valid reason to pull him down without dirtying thier own hands.

Who would have thought , Qin MuRong was trapped by someone else on the same night. Leaving him a timely rescue. But the bodygaurd team he notified had a traitor.

Looking at the man lying on the ground with his bones crushed. He smiled softly.

He have nothing in life. He doesn't care anymore. He never stopped investigating the case 20 years ago.

Since he would live for only an year or two more, he might as well clean up all the rotten fish that fled.

" M-ugh-mashte-r , I-I -I gnow yo-u hav a child ugh-child", The man on the ground suddenly blurted in pain.

His hand stopped abruptly and the coffee cup he threw forcefully on the ground shattered. Shatds flying everywhere.

"Let him talk", he said coldly.

He didn't know what he hoped for. In his most youthful age , he turned into a useless monster. It would be hard to say he didn't had any regrets before dying.

" That - gasp- that night , woman preganant .....child born..." , the man on the ground said twitching in pain .

"investigate in this direction ", he ordered coldly.

In an empty room , the man sat alone.The despair and gloom surrounding him almost turned into substance. He had no hope to live. No goal he wanted to achieve .No guiding light he wanted to chase. He looked like a broken boat alone in the stormy ocean which can't find a shore anymore.

All this was seen by a transparent figure a distance away. It wanted to move but it could only twitch and stay stuck in a place like a fixed doll.

...

" What did you say ?!", Xia JunFeng couldn't hide the bone piercing chill in his eyes anymore.

" Qin family , Qin MuRong , dared to play my sons idea....You mustn't die peacefully ", He roared.

It took him 3 months in finally investigating and finding his only flesh and blood's identity. But when he found out , it was too late.

Qin family ...he said through gritted teeth.

They killed his son. His child called his enemy 'father' for past 3 years. And then he was killed.

His eyes were plucked and his blood was drained.

These monsters.

He would destroy everyone.He would kill them all.

...

"Look , this the head of the man who threw you in hell",he said to a earthen mound with no engraved stone on the grave.

"These are your eyes , I personally plucked them out baby ",he said again .

"I also drained that bastard's blood but it was inconvinient to show you now huh...."

"Dad didn't find you sooner. You suffered too much baby. "

"In the next life , don't come to dad .Dad doesn't deserve such a sweet and strong baby " .

He sat there, tears streaming down his cheeks.

He wasn't able to embrace his child . Looking at the information and image , guilt ate him.

This child should have been pampered by him . Lived the life of prince. This was his blood.

Such a strong boy died because of his own father. Suffered all his life.

He took out his phone , sent a text message and pocketed it back. Picking out a green tablet , he ate it calmly . His body twitched and then stopped. When the bodygaurd team arrived , they found thier master dead on young master's grave.

Beside the motionless figure on wheelchair, a stuck transparent figure tried to make sounds , repeatedly crying " Don't go ", "dad don't go".....the figure was sucked away in void soon and there was no trace anymore.

...

An old man walked towards the corner in the cemetery.

Two gravestones stood on the graves.

Xia LingYun.

'A strong child' .

Xia JunFeng .

'A man who stayed strong for too long '.

Placing the blue orchids and lavender bouquet , the old man wiped his tears silently and walked away.

....

Xia JunFeng was living a life of sweet torture.

His son called him dad sweetly but became too clingy. His diet was controlled and if he didn't see him for a day , he would become anxious .

He didn't know , each time Xia LingYun closed his eyes ,he would see that nightmare. That nightmare , which once happened, which was supposed to happen, drove him crazy.

A week later , before the introduction banquet , Xia LingYun made a decision he would rationally never make.

'System , Can you erase my memories. The memories of the timeline that wouldn't exist anymore '

[ Yes host . Appropriate price must be paid ]

'How much ?'

[ 30 % of host's total earnings]

'In 3 hours , Let's trade' .

...

When Xia LingYun woke up again , he felt something left him , but it might not be important. He suddenly found a small sheet of torn paper in his hand clenched tightly .

He opened it and read the words written on it. It was quite inexplicable but he somehow understood.

| Destroy Qin family|

|Destroy Wu family|

|keep dad always happy|

| This is my life , my true life . Rest is but a bad dream |

Looking at his own signature at the end , he was stunned.

Then he laughed softly.

He didn't know, the deal he made was only to erase his memory , not emotions.

the people who died would never know what monster they provoked.

....

The introduction banquet ended peacefully , he was happy. He felt like this is dream but he knew it was true .

People looking at Xia family father and son duo were envious at thier happy faces.

He has friends. He has someone who could cry for him.

Looking at his father who was entertaining guests , freinds who were happily joing with each other ,he walked out into balcony when an electronic sound rang in his ears.

[ Ding !Ultimate mission completed . Unbinding host. Unbinding in 10 seconds ]

' I didn't show off my wealth, how could the mission be completed ' he was stunned.

[ According to system data information past record , there is a sentence recorded. ' True happiness is greatest Wealth' .

The system wishes host a happy life ]

[ Unbinding successful . Goodbye host]

He was stunned for a while and then laughed softly.

'This tsundre system 'he thought.

Then he reacted and abruptly shouted ," Stingy system!!!!! My items !" .

.....

Although the system was gone , his life , it's just the begining. He put his hand in his pocket , feeling a familiar touch of a thin sheet of paper which had been touch unknown times by him already , He walked back to the hall.

This time , there won't be any reward for his custom outfit , there won't be someone telling him to show off his worth again. But he knows. ....

Reaching in the middle of the hall , extending his hand to Ji YinHe for his first dance with teasing eyes and provocation ....

He understood a fact ...

No need to show off....

There is a worth to everything , and it could be worthless too.....

What you cherish.....

Is your wealth.
