Xiao Hengyu let out a mocking smile. "I'm not afraid. I never believe in that. Even if I get struck by lightning, so what? What have I ever been afraid of in my life? If I were afraid, I would have died long ago in the no-man's land."

He recalled the night when he had to survive by gnawing on the frozen corpse of a wild wolf in the wilderness at minus 20 degrees Celsius, and his hatred for Xiao Zhenting increased a little.

He adopted me to vent his anger. He hated everyone in the Bo family and naturally would not let me go.

A flash of shock flashed across Xiao Zhenting's eyes, and then he changed into a look of deep sorrow and anguish: "Ayu, even if I have a purpose, do you really want to turn against me?"

He leaned closer, "Don't forget, even though I lied to you, the Bo family still won't accept you! Who are you? They didn't even write you down in the family tree. The Bo family doesn't even know you exist!"

His voice suddenly rose. "Even your biological father has been dead for so many years and doesn't even know you exist! If it weren't for me, you would be an unwanted orphan in this world. You would be nothing!"

Xiao Hengyu's hand trembled violently.

Xiao Zhenting's words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into his most vulnerable wound.

But soon, his eyes became fierce again and he shook his head, "No, even if Bo Ziqi didn't know I existed, he never hurt me! It's you... it's you who has been using me to make me kill my own family!"

If you really think about it, who is more hateful?

Xiao Zhenting was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I want this? If the Bo family hadn't forced me to this point, how could I have so much hatred? The Bo family suppressed the Xiao family in every way and almost killed the woman I love the most! And now, I've fallen to this point. Isn't it Bo Jingzhou's fault? Not only did you not help me get revenge, but you actually pointed a gun at me, Xiao Hengyu. If I had known you would be like this, I really shouldn't have supported you."

His bloodshot eyes stared at Xiao Hengyu, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment he had accumulated over the years.

After taking a few breaths, Xiao Zhenting continued, "You shouldn't hate me. The person you should really hate is the one who created you. You shouldn't have existed in this world in the first place. Someone deliberately nurtured you and sent you to me. Have you ever considered that he hates the Bo family even more than I do? He's hiding in the dark, trying to use our grudge to turn the Bo family upside down!"

Xiao Hengyu's hands trembled slightly.

The mysterious man he had never met seemed to appear before his eyes, hiding in the shadows, watching him become a tool of revenge step by step, and emitting a smug grin.

Those deliberately forgotten fragments of childhood were now like sharp blades, cutting madly in his mind.

In an instant, all the clues connected in his mind like lightning.

He suddenly realized that he had been a pawn in the hands of others from the beginning to the end, a carefully designed weapon of revenge.

After a long time, Xiao Hengyu slowly put down his gun and said, "Okay, I'll let you go for now."

His voice was as cold as ice. "I will find your accomplice, the one who sent me to you. Once I find him, I will reunite you in the underworld."

"And you, stay here in this dark place and atone for what you have done."

After saying that, Xiao Hengyu turned around and left without looking back. The moment the prison door closed, Xiao Zhenting's tense body suddenly deflated, and he collapsed on the chair like a bag of rotten meat with its bones and muscles pulled out.

............

In the hospital, after Chu Meiren and Bo Sitian finished their conversation, they remained silent for a long time.

Bo Sitian's Adam's apple rolled as he spoke with difficulty: "You said that Xiao Hengyu is from the Bo family?"

Lady Chu nodded gently: "Ayu asked me many times, but I didn't tell the truth..."

"He harbors too much hatred for me and Xiao Zhenting. If he knew that Xiao Zhenting adopted him for other purposes, his hatred would be even deeper."

She raised her hand, wanting to smooth the stray hair from her temples, but let it drop helplessly mid-stride. "I was the one who let him down back then. I didn't take responsibility for him, and I didn't let him experience everything a normal family should have. So even if he hates us, it's only natural... I just don't want him to live like this. Watching him struggle with hatred all these years, it's really hard for me."

"Perhaps not knowing the truth is the best thing for him."

Bo Sitian's brows were almost twisted into a knot.

How could Xiao Hengyu be his younger brother, Bo Jingzhou's uncle?

This news was like a bombshell that exploded in his mind, making it difficult for him to accept it for a while.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner shock, and asked, "If you've been hiding it for a lifetime, why are you talking about it now?"

Lady Chu frowned and was about to speak when she suddenly started coughing violently.

Hearing Miss Chu's violent cough, Bo Sitian's heart suddenly tightened.

She curled up on the hospital bed, her pale cheeks flushed with a sickly blush, just like a frail flower swaying in the wind and rain.

"How are you?" Bo Sitian hurriedly held her shoulders, his voice full of worry.

Lady Chu waved her hand and smiled weakly: "You know, I don't have much time left. Every day I live is a blessing. I don't pray to live for a long time."

"Don't say that." Bo Sitian was about to speak to comfort her, but was interrupted by Lady Chu.

"Si Tian, ​​listen to me."

Lady Chu sat up straight with difficulty, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, "I called you here today because I have two things to entrust to you."

She paused and continued, "First, Su Xue. I still don't believe she's dead. If she's alive, I want to see her in person. If she's dead, I want to see her body. If you find her one day, go to my grave, burn paper and tell me... If you really can't find her, then there's no need to do that. It means we've already reunited in the underworld."

Bo Sitian frowned even deeper. Su Xue's death was already a foregone conclusion. After searching everywhere, nothing was found. This was undoubtedly a difficult task.

Before he could respond, Lady Chu continued, "The second thing is Xiao Hengyu. He's full of hatred right now, and I'm afraid he'll end up in a desperate situation."

Her voice choked with sobs. "I know these two things are very difficult for you. After all, they have nothing to do with you, but apart from you, I have no one else to entrust my trust to. In this world, you are the only one I have..."

Both of Lady Chu's parents are gone, so she really has no relatives.

Bo Sitian frowned, and the air was a little quiet.

Lady Chu said anxiously, "Sitian, I only have these two wishes. Can you promise me?"

"You are the only one I can trust..."

Under the desperate pleading of Lady Chu, Bo Sitian finally agreed: "Okay, I promise you."
