Chapter 2779 - 2772: Uncovering the Past

Ning Chenyang’s smile froze at the corner of his mouth. He didn’t expect that the events from back then would cause Luo Tong to hold such a big grudge against him.

In fact, after catching the bad guy, he wanted to explain to her and even helped her find a place with the help of his parents, but who knew her relatives would take her away.

Thus, this matter was left unresolved.

"Luo Tong, actually that year, after I found out he was a trafficker, I was also very uneasy... I was young and didn’t know if I should tell you," Ning Chenyang explained.

Many things from childhood are already blurred in memory, but he clearly remembers this incident.

"And then?" Luo Tong was clearly not satisfied with this explanation; after all, a complex issue can’t be resolved with a few words.

"Then I discussed with my parents and reported to the police that very night." Ning Chenyang told Luo Tong truthfully about the events of the past without any embellishment or concealment.

"From the report to the arrest of my foster father, I remember there was at least a week’s time in between. During that week, you didn’t think about how to tell me? Or did you intentionally hide it from me!" Luo Tong felt deeply bothered whenever she brought up this matter.

She remembered clearly how she felt at that time, eagerly inviting them to her home every day, wanting to share the best things with them, only to find out they were avoiding her in all sorts of ways.

They came up with various excuses to evade her invitations, and at the time, she was pretty naive and actually believed them. But it wasn’t until that night when the police, armed, stormed into her house that she realized the reason Ning Chenyang and his friends weren’t coming.

They had reported her foster father!

"Intentionally hid it from you," Ning Chenyang said.

"I knew it would come to this." Luo Tong laughed sarcastically, "I was inviting you all with such sincerity, but in the end, you used me, Ning Chenyang."

"No, it wasn’t using." Ning Chenyang lowered his head and looked at Luo Tong, seriously explaining to her, "At the time, I couldn’t explain the situation to you. After all, he was your foster father, and the police feared that telling you might alert him!"

"So you intentionally hid it from me. Kept me in the dark. Wouldn’t you call that using me?" Luo Tong finally shouted out the words she’d kept buried in her heart all these years.

"Luo Tong! If you knew how many evil deeds these people had done, I believe you would support my choice," Ning Chenyang said.

"Sorry! I don’t care how much evil they’ve done; I only know you destroyed my life! My entire hope! Don’t you know if I leave my foster father, I can’t survive? Don’t you know besides myself, I have a brother to take care of?" Luo Tong clenched her fists and growled, "You destroyed everything! You ruined everything!"

"But I later went looking for you. I was worried about your future, and I pleaded with my parents to arrange a place for you. In situations like yours, the government provides for you! My parents had already sorted everything out, but when I went to find you again, your neighbor said your family had taken you back!" Ning Chenyang shouted.

"You were looking for me?" Luo Tong was surprised.

"Yes. I looked for you! I even arranged a place for you, but by then, you had left! The world is vast, and we weren’t particularly familiar at the time, nor was I familiar with your foster father’s circumstances. Tell me, you left, where could I possibly find you..."
