Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Shen Xi did not buy it. She knew about Meng Yu’s kidnapping ten years ago and how Guan Lei’s brother was killed while trying to rescue him. But based on her investigation over the past few days, Meng Yu undoubtedly knew about this incident and had been seeking revenge for Guan Miao all these years.

Meng Yu did remember being kidnapped.

Hence, what was it that Meng Yu had been hypnotized to forget? Shen Xi’s gaze shifted to Meng Yu as she recalled the shocked and furious expression when Zheng Huai opened Meng Yu’s clothes. In an instant, Shen Xi was overcome with cold sweat, frightened by her own thoughts.

“Meng Yu, he… ten years ago, he was violated, right?” Shen Xi turned her head to look at Zheng Huai with visible strain, posing her questions tentatively.

Zheng Huai averted his eyes, stammering to articulate the answer, but his demeanor was evident to Shen Xi that she seemed to have guessed correctly.

Shen Xi sat incredulously on a nearby chair, murmuring, “So, ten years ago, when Meng Yu was kidnapped, the kidnappers violated and humiliated him, forcing Guan Miao to risk his own life to save him.”

Zheng Huai did not expect that it would take one indiscreet action to reveal the truth to Shen Xi. He felt deeply sorry for Meng Yu. Such a humiliating experience was not something anyone would want more people to know about.

Zheng Huai looked at Shen Xi and said, “Xi, I hope you won’t reveal this matter.”

Shen Xi instinctively nodded; her heart filled with mixed feelings. She tidied Meng Yu’s clothes on the bed, then grabbed Zheng Huai’s hand and left. “Brother, I want to know, tell me everything.” Shen Xi said as she looked at Zheng Huai

Zheng Huai struggled for a while, knowing that Shen Xi already knew almost everything about this matter, so he began, “The Guan family and the Gu family have always been archenemies, you know that, right?”

Shen Xi nodded. She was not aware of it before, but after this period of getting to grips with the details, it was hard for her not to grasp the situation.

“The Guan family and the Gu family were political rivals. Over twenty years ago, in order to tarnish Old Master Guan’s reputation, the Gu family drugged

Old Master Guan and facilitated an intimate encounter with the young nanny, Huang Qing. They also filmed it. That nanny was Ah Yu’s mother. Huang Qing owed a debt of gratitude to Old Master Guan, so she ran away with the video.” Zheng Huai recalled.

Shen Xi furrowed her brows. She did not expect Huang Qing to be such a grateful person, with a temperament similar to Meng Yu’s.

“After that incident, the Guan family tightened their security, and the Gu family lost the chance to make any further moves. They were constantly searching for Huang Qing, desperate to find that video. Unfortunately, Huang Qing disappeared for over a decade without any news, and the Gu family gradually gave up. But unexpectedly, Ah Miao discovered Ah Yu, who looked exactly like him.” Zheng Huai sighed, feeling the helplessness of an inevitable fate.

Zheng Huai continued, “Later, Ah Miao found out Ah Yu’s identity but didn’t expose it. He quietly helped this family because Huang Qing, to evade the Gu family, married a cripple and pretended to be mute. Their family struggled to make ends meet, but fortunately, the couple were content with their lives, and they managed to get by.”

“With a few years passed, when Ah Yu turned sixteen, he increasingly resembled Ah Miao. Eventually, the Gu family discovered him. At that time, it coincided with Old Master Guan’s retirement and the important period for nominating candidates. Since the Gu family could not capture anyone from the Guan family, they resorted to kidnapping Ah Yu to threaten Ah Miao.” Zheng Huai’s emotions started to waver.

Recalling the harrowing moments of the kidnappers tormenting Meng Yu, Zheng Huai’s heart ached, and Shen Xi could feel his emotions. She patted Zheng Huai’s shoulder silently, comforting him.

“The kidnapper was afraid that Ah Miao wouldn’t come, so he… in front of other kidnappers…” Zheng Huai paused, “They tormented Ah Yu and sent the video to Ah Miao, threatening that if Ah Miao didn’t show up, they would let the other kidnappers, one by one…”

Zheng Huai’s voice trailed off, as the memories of those unbearable words and the suffering inflicted on Meng Yu overwhelmed him.

Zheng Huai did not finish, but Shen Xi required no mental effort for her to foresee what would follow.

Shen Xi never expected that Meng Yu, who was clearly an innocent child forced into this world, would have to endure such humiliation and persecution. It was truly unbearable.

Thinking of that bright and adorable young boy with a captivating smile, tears welled up in Zheng Huai’s eyes. Choking with emotion, he said, “The previous Ah Yu was so pure and tender, especially sunny and lovable. You know, when he smiled, those two little dimples were so sweet and handsome. But those beasts… how could they do such a thing to an innocent young boy..”
