What an irony.
In the past, Yun Na would look at him with disdain and would call him distasteful names.
Now, she was kneeling beside him and begging for mercy while kowtowing.
Li Hanlin, who was standing beside him, hatefully shook off her hands that were holding the boyâs shoulders.
Li Qin was also crying tearfully before the boy as she crawled to him on her hands and feet, prostrating and begging for forgiveness.
âYouyou, are you really going to get rid of us? At least, for the sake of your grandfather, please let us go! This is murder; itâs against the law and against your conscience!â
âOh? Iâm buying murder...â Yun Tianyou casually muttered and then, with an eerie smile, asked the room at large, âWho heard that?â
There was a deafening silence in the room.
Who would believe the words of a six-year-old child?
How would it be possible for a six-year-old child to instigate murder?!
In the suffocating silence, his adoptive aunt kept prostrating before him with her head repeatedly knocking hard against the floor as she exclaimed hoarsely, âIâm sorry! Iâm sorry! Iâm sorry! Iâm wrong; I know Iâm in the wrong!â
She cried wretchedly as she reached out to hold him.
The boy ignored her and coldly shook off her hands.
âDonât touch me; you are filthy.â
âWo... woo... wooo... Youyou...â Her tear-stained face looked desperate and pathetic.
âI canât forgive...â
âI absolutely cannot forgive...â
He retracted his shoulders, turned around, and coldly retorted, âLi 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?â
He continued, one word after another, âLi Qin, Iâve long wanted to get rid of you.â
Yun Na mournfully wept and begged again, âPlease give us another chance!â
He rebuked, âIâve given you many chances, but you two didnât know how to treasure them!â
Li Qin was stunned.
âI strove to become powerful for my motherâs protection. You two tried harming her time and again, and now youâre asking me to forgive?! Impossible!â
With that, he turned and walked out of the ward.
Li Dongqiangâs henchmen arrived at the scene of Li Qin wailing after the little boyâs leaving back, âYou canât be so cruel!â
The boy refused to acknowledge her. He quickly departed from the room, leaving behind the twoâs despondent voices.
When he reached his room, Yun Tianyou stood at the door, which was just closed after him, and started to tremble coldly and violently.
Li Hanlin was filled with heartache at this sight and held him tightly. The boyâs frail body could not stand up to such trauma and collapsed in his arms.
Although 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.
His heart was full of admiration for the child at his unscrupulous ways of handling business.
Seeing the boyâs 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.
However, hatred had blackened this purity.
He had thought that the boy was acting before everyone.
He no longer thought so after this incident.
What kind of childhood did this child have that made him commit such cruelty?
Cruel, indeed...
This was especially so for a child.
He had not fully understood Yun Tianyouâs dark and gloomy past that resulted in his drastic desire to kill.
Under the dimming dusk, the man hugged the child tightly in his embrace with a heart-wrenching pain.
