Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

She was crying so pitifully, standing barefoot on the ground. Looking inside, the room was dark and messy.

The people who were just angry suddenly felt a sense of bullying, especially the woman who, while crying, actually tried to kneel down before everyone.

Aunt Li turned her face away: "You should be nicer to the child in the future. What a good child! If your husband treats you badly, you'll treat the child badly too. What kind of logic is that?"

“Even animals have feelings for their offspring. You’ve raised this child for so long, how could you bring yourself to hurt it?” Grandma Shi sighed.

In the end, no one called the police; they offered a few words of advice and then dispersed.

As a result, this moment of being too soft-hearted almost led to irreversible consequences.

That afternoon, Aunt Li was about to go out to buy groceries when she saw the woman rushing downstairs in a panic, looking strange.

She opened her mouth to greet her and ask what was wrong, but the woman didn't answer at all, her eyes filled with fear, as if a ghost was chasing her.

Aunt Li's heart skipped a beat, sensing that something must have happened. Without bothering to chase after the woman who was running away, she turned around and went upstairs.

The door was ajar, and there was no sound inside. Aunt Li flung the door open, walked around the mess on the floor, and went inside.

As soon as I entered the child's bedroom, I paused for a moment.

The room was empty; apart from a bed and a table, there was almost nothing else.

The thin child lay on his back on the ground with his eyes half-open, his chest showing an unnatural indentation.

There was a pool of blood beneath his body, and a metal frame that had been removed from somewhere lay on the ground nearby.

Aunt Li ran over and squatted down, but she was at a loss and didn't dare to touch him. When she realized what was happening, she hurriedly ran home and called 120 and the police.

Hearing her cries for help, her neighbors rushed over.

Grandma Shi nearly lost her footing when she saw the horrific scene: "What a tragedy! I shouldn't have believed that heartless person back then!"

When the child was brought to the emergency room, his condition was already critical. The sharp edges of the broken ribs were rubbing against his lungs. If he had been treated a few minutes later, he would definitely have died!

The police quickly arrested the woman and interrogated her. During the interrogation, everyone learned that the child had not been adopted through normal procedures, but had been sold through human traffickers.

The woman and her husband couldn't have children. She was initially reluctant to buy a child, but after the child was brought home, their life was relatively good for the first two years.

But later, the man had an affair and even had a child with his own. After confronting the woman, he left without a second thought, but they were still not divorced.

The woman was both resentful and filled with hatred for her husband and his mistress and child. She vented all her twisted hatred on the child.

Her crying and begging for forgiveness wasn't out of remorse, but out of fear that her neighbors would call the police and uncover evidence of her child trafficking.

According to the police investigation, this was not a simple case of child trafficking, but a kidnapping case.

After the kidnapping, the kidnappers initially intended to extort a large sum of money from the child's family. However, halfway through the operation, they became fearful of the family's power and hastily handed the child over to the traffickers, then absconded with tens of thousands of yuan.

This whole ordeal completely led the investigation in the wrong direction and caused us to miss a crucial opportunity. The child has been missing ever since.

The child's family is very unusual, and they have never given up searching for the child over the years.

Once the case was reported, clues were quickly uncovered, and the child's true identity was confirmed within 48 hours.

He is the young master of the Cheng family.

The child's family, whose identities were clearly extraordinary, rushed to the hospital, expressed their gratitude to the neighbors, and transferred the child, who was still in critical condition, to another hospital overnight.

From then on, no one in that building ever saw the child again.

But everyone unanimously avoided talking about the child's situation, not for any other reason than that if they hadn't been too soft-hearted at the time, the child wouldn't have suffered so much.

Even though they knew what kind of life the child was living, most people, including Aunt Li and Grandma Shi, had the mentality that it was better to mind one's own business and not get involved.

I feel guilty.

It wasn't until Shi Jingyun was older that she saw the newspaper her grandmother had left under the glass table and understood the whole story.

The isolation and alienation she experienced back then, along with her childish indifference, made Shi Jingyun feel extremely uneasy when she saw Cheng Nianzhi again and spoke to him.

Cheng Nianzhi looks a lot like he did when he was a child, so beautiful. Shi Jingyun doesn't understand why the young master of the Cheng family would hide his identity and appear in the entertainment industry.

Cheng Nianzhi's attitude towards her was gentle and easygoing, like that of a friend she hadn't seen for many years, and he didn't seem to have any lingering resentment about the past.

Shi Jingyun initially thought it was because he was living a happy and fulfilling life and that time had healed his wounds, but later she realized that it wasn't true; Cheng Nianzhi simply didn't feel anything about it.

Lacking in emotional intelligence and empathy, meticulous and detail-oriented, with an exceptional capacity for mimicry. Their thought patterns are abnormal, bordering on antisocial personality disorder.

But on the surface, he showed no signs of anything amiss. He was polite, reserved, and kind, never doing anything out of line. In fact, when he interacted with others, it was almost impossible to tell that he was different.

No one can tell what's real, what's fake, what's fake, and what's imitated.

When Cheng Nianzhi heard her mention things from her childhood, he raised his hand and touched the scar hidden under her hair, a scar that had healed many years ago.

“I don’t remember much else, but Grandma Shi seemed to have cried at the time,” Cheng Nianzhi recalled.

"Grandma feels sorry for you."

"I'll go see Grandma another day; it's been a long time since I've been there," Cheng Nianzhi nodded.

"What are you feeling guilty about?" This was the first time Cheng Nianzhi had asked this question in all these years.

"Huh?" Shi Jingyun pursed her lips, unsure how to answer.

“We are not related by blood, and you have never been my guardians. You are not responsible for me, so why do you feel guilty? You saved me, so why don’t you feel happy?” Cheng Nianzhi turned his head and spoke very seriously and matter-of-factly.

"It's not that simple. Just like your parents, they feel guilty because they didn't take good care of you and made you suffer for several years. And Grandma and Aunt Li feel guilty because they watched you suffer but couldn't do anything, and they almost let you die because they were soft-hearted." Shi Jingyun felt a little helpless. She often had this feeling after spending a lot of time with Cheng Nianzhi.

I felt powerless, helpless, and also sorry for him. He couldn't feel any emotion at all; how pitiful...

"The criminals were wrong, the people who abused me were wrong, and now they have all been brought to justice. This matter has been resolved satisfactorily. Why are you all unhappy about something that has been resolved satisfactorily?"

“No… feelings and the law are completely different things…” Shi Jingyun stood up and paced back and forth.

"What do you think Li Ruan will think about this?" Shi Jingyun asked him.

"Hmm? Why does Li Ruan want to comment on this?" Cheng Nianzhi's voice softened when he mentioned Lu Li Ruan.

“You can sense that he likes her, and maybe you can find other feelings in her as well,” Shi Jingyun explained casually.

Will she feel guilty?

"What does she feel guilty about? You..." Shi Jingyun was both helpless and amused by him.

"Are you going to tell her?" Cheng Nianzhi frowned slightly, showing a hint of confusion.

"If she asked me... what do you think..."

“If she wants to know, you can tell her anything. She can know everything about me.” Cheng Nianzhi’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but she remained calm and confident.

"Why didn't you tell her yourself?" Shi Jingyun asked curiously. You've already brought people here, what's with this so-called in-depth understanding?

“If she doesn’t want to know, it will cause her trouble. All I need is for her to like me, nothing else.”

Cheng Nianzhi stood up: "Let's go, Aunt Li will be getting impatient waiting."
