Chapter 2669 - 2673: Too Cruel

Chapter 2669: Chapter 2673: Too Cruel

"I read through all the information my dad searched for, and then I discovered that according to the law, only when a person is brain dead can their direct relatives sign the consent form for a heart transplant. I suspected that my dad was deliberately trying to kill me to take my heart and give it to his biological son."

Ye Xingbei felt a chill down her spine and instinctively grasped Gu Junzhu’s hand.

When saying these words, Huo Zhongqi remained very calm.

Throughout, his voice was slow and steady, sweet and soothing.

Like a clear stream flowing through the mountains, there was no excitement, no sadness, no fear, giving a sense of leisurely ease and freedom.

There was no extraneous expression on his face, just serenity and a touch of natural laziness, like a cat basking in the sun in the afternoon.

Calm as if telling a little story for after-meal tea and snacks.

Ye Xingbei couldn’t find the words to describe how she felt at this moment.

She didn’t know how to judge Huo Zhongqi.

She only knew that after meeting Lingyue, Qin Junye, and Huo Zhongqi, she repeatedly renewed her understanding of the word "child."

These three children, each one more unlike a child than the last.

Before meeting Qin Junye and Huo Zhongqi, Ye Xingbei thought Lingyue’s courage, intelligence, composure, and perseverance, all surpassing his peers, were extraordinary.

But after meeting Qin Junye and Huo Zhongqi, she realized there were even more extraordinary ones.

Qin Junye could kill a wild boar at the age of eight.

Huo Zhongqi could speak calmly and steadily at eight, narrating how he discovered step by step that his adoptive father wanted to take his heart and give it to his adoptive father’s biological son.

Looking back at the performances of these children, Ye Xingbei seriously doubted she spent all her previous years living like a pig.

Huo Zhongqi paused slightly, then continued, "I guessed my dad wanted to replace my heart with his biological son’s, and I was very sad. I hoped it wasn’t true, and I wanted to confirm, so I installed a miniature recorder in my parents’ bedroom and recorded their conversation."

"After hearing their conversation, I was certain that they really wanted to replace my heart with their biological son’s."

"I wish I could help my dad and mom, but if they take out my heart and give it to their biological son, I will die."

"I’m still young, I don’t want to die..."

Huo Zhongqi’s clear gaze fixed on Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei: "I sat behind Xiao Shu and listened to Xiao Shu talk about your story in Jinli Village. You helped Junye who was homeless. Now, I am homeless too, so I found Xiao Shu and told him my story, asked him if he could help me."

"Xiao Shu was very happy, he said he could, he said he was looking for the third senior brother for himself, and he said I could just be his third senior brother."

Ye Xingbei: "..."

Huo Zhongqi looked at Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, and continued, "So, I let Xiao Shu bring me to find aunt and uncle, hoping aunt and uncle can help me, not let my dad and mom take my heart."

Despite the calm recount, Ye Xingbei felt particularly heartbroken after listening.

This child is only eight years old.

Suddenly knowing that the parents who raised you aren’t your biological ones is already very cruel.
