Jiang Xuan brought his men to Jiang Min's residence. The bodyguard opened the door and there was no one inside, but the room was tidy by the owner.

This small space of more than 30 square meters seems crowded even if several people enter.

Jiang Xuan signaled two bodyguards to stay, and the others hid outside.

He didn't rummage through the items in the house because he knew his brother hated others touching his things.

Jiang Xuan found a place to sit down in the room and took out his cell phone to check the messages sent by his subordinates.

Jiang Min is currently buying vegetables at the market and it will take him about an hour to come back.

The so-called vegetable market was actually a chaotic and noisy place.

Jiang Min was wearing a mask, and his thin body looked particularly thin in the crowd.

When Jiang Xuan saw this scene, his heart couldn't help but tremble violently.

How much suffering did he go through to become so thin and frail?

Jiang Min was a naughty child when he was young and could not endure any hardship.

Even a short journey of just a few minutes to school would make him complain for a whole hour.

What on earth was the reason that made this younger brother who once depended on him leave the Jiang family without hesitation and wander alone?

Jiang Xuan's heart was full of questions and pain. He desperately wanted to know the answer and solve the mystery.

Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a photo in the distance, and he stood up and walked over.

An hour later, Jiang Min hurried home carrying a bag full of vegetables.

His eyes darted left and right, always paying attention to the movements around him.

In this mixed place, there are all kinds of people, so no one is curious about each other's abnormal behavior.

He took out his key and was about to open the door when he suddenly noticed some strange marks on the floor at the door.

Jiang Min's heart tightened and he immediately took a step back. Just as he was about to turn around and run away, several strong hands had already held him down firmly and pinned him to the wall.

He struggled with all his might, but was unable to break free.

Just as Jiang Min was panicking and wondering if he had accidentally offended someone recently, he saw a familiar face.

At that moment, his heart sank and he struggled even more fiercely.

"Jiang Min." A voice sounded, familiar yet strange.

Hearing this voice, Jiang Min stopped struggling. His body leaned weakly against the wall, and tears rolled down his face.

It's grievance, reunion after a long separation, and even more so the fear of the unknown.

"If you are willing to talk to me, I will have someone release you. If you are not willing, then I can only take you home now." The voice continued.

"Okay." Jiang Min finally answered in a low voice, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

The two brothers sat face to face on the worn sofa. Jiang Xuan stared at Jiang Min and said coldly, "Take off your mask."

Jiang Min hesitated for half a minute, and finally took off his mask, revealing his pale and scarred face.

Jiang Xuan saw the scar on his face, and his anger instantly ignited, "What's going on?"

"I fell accidentally." Jiang Min touched the scar on his face and answered casually.

"Can you throw another one for me to see?" He was not blind, so how could he not see that the scar on his face was a knife wound.

Jiang Min leaned back slightly, avoiding Jiang Xuan's gaze, and whispered, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Aren't you going to give me an explanation? Why did you leave without saying a word? Why didn't you come back to us for all these years?" Jiang Xuan asked sternly.

"Jiang Xuan, are you asking me a million questions? What do I need to report to you about?"

"You don't need to report to me, but I'm your eldest brother, and I have a responsibility to protect my younger siblings."

"Well, then you just need to protect your sister. Don't worry about me. I'm fine now and can do what I want." Jiang Minyun described calmly.

"What do you want to do? All you want to do is wander around and live a life of hunger and cold? Jiang Min, you used to be the one who was most afraid of hardship, but look at what you've become now."

There was both blame and heartache in Jiang Xuan's tone.

"If you're just here to preach, then please leave. I don't have time to chat with you about this useless stuff."

Jiang Min stood up, his gestures seeming particularly distant, his attitude and expression revealing a deep indifference.

"Jiang Min, we all miss you very much. Your room has been kept the same. If you left because of your mother's jade bracelet, I can tell you that no one will blame you. The jade bracelet has been retrieved from Uncle Shen. Come home, okay?"

There was a hint of pleading in Jiang Xuan's voice. He rarely lowered his posture like this.

If it were in the past, Jiang Min would have been very happy to hear these words.

Unfortunately, they can't go back.

From the day Jiang Min made his choice, he knew his fate. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that his family would be harmed.

"Thank you, brother, but I like my current life very much. You can go." Jiang Min said in a low voice.

"Is it because you think you will kill us that you don't want to go back?"

Jiang Xuan's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Jiang Min's heart.

Jiang Min's pupils widened slightly. He couldn't believe that his elder brother knew these secrets hidden deep in his heart.

"you……"

Jiang Xuan slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and read it in a low voice.

“On New Year’s Day, I saw my sister and I missed her so much, but I couldn’t go back because I would kill them.

As long as I go far away, they will be safe and healthy. Why me? Why choose me? I don’t want this. I can’t go back...”

The words on the paper describe Jiang Min's inner struggle and pain.

Jiang Min hurried forward and tried to snatch the paper from Jiang Xuan's hand.

But he was so weak that he was no match for Jiang Xuan and could only let Jiang Xuan finish reading the content.

After Jiang Xuan finished reading the contents on the paper, the paper trembled in his hands, and his eyes were full of pain and confusion.

"Why do you say it will kill us?"

Jiang Xuan was eager to know the truth. He grabbed Jiang Min's hand, afraid that he would run away. Even though there were bodyguards surrounding him, he was still panicked.

I always feel like my brother is carrying a huge secret.

"Because I am evil at heart, I stole my mother's jade bracelet, causing her to become seriously ill and die. I am a disgusting person and I am too ashamed to see you."

Jiang Min was in great pain and couldn't stop crying, crying like a child.

"I've learned about my mother's condition from the doctor. You didn't harm her. Jiang Min, what are you hiding from us? Can you tell me? Let's face this together."

"Brother, I'm sorry, please go away. Let's not meet again. Just treat me as your brother who is dead."

Jiang Min struggled hard to break free and was about to run out the door when his vision went dark and he fainted.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan supported him in time and prevented him from falling to the ground.
