“Even after the police proved your parents’ innocence, Jiäng Zhe just could not get over his grandfather’s death.
“He felt that everyone had covered up for your parents.
“Coupled with the fact that the real murderer had never been found, he became even more certain of this.
“That child has had a weird temperament ever since he was young. No one except the Old Master Jiäng doted on him. It was a great blow to him when his grandfather suddenly passed away.
“Put another way, his grandfather had practically been his pillar of support all while he was growing up. So, he could not accept it when his grandfather died so abruptly. He could not simply ignore it.
“Without any other outlet for his anger, he directed his hatred towards your parents.
“He stubbornly believed that it was your parents who killed his grandfather.
“Therefore, he stooped to some extreme measures, such as threatening your parents, as well as… kidnapping your two brothers.”
Saying that, he looked at Lu Bai.
Lu Bai had been sitting there quietly listening, but when he heard this, he looked over.
Actually, he had no memories of his childhood at all.
Zhou Lin continued, “Although the two of them were later rescued, your mother became afraid of Jiäng Zhe. She was afraid that something would happen to your brothers again.
“Jiäng Zhe was too scheming. He managed to escape unscathed after kidnapping your two brothers, even though he was only 15 years old at that time.
“Your mother was pregnant with you at the time, so she was even more fearful.
“She went with your father to beg Jiäng Zhe, and repeatedly told him that it wasn’t them. That they didn’t do anything. But Jiäng Zhe refused to listen to them at all. He even caught your parents at that time and almost had them killed.
“Fortunately, your grandparents found out and saved them in time.
“It was then that they realized that Jiäng Zhe was absolutely twisted. He believed only in himself, and unscrupulously wanted everyone to die for his grandfather’s death.
“At that time, his vengeance had yet to involve the Lu family and the Shen family, and was focused purely at your parents. Your parents immediately decided not to implicate everyone; after cutting ties with their families, they left the capital overnight.
“They didn’t tell anyone where they went, but for a good few years they didn’t live well. They kept moving and hiding from Jiäng Zhe, not daring to show their faces nor do anything.
“Later on, they only contacted me because your brother was seriously ill and they urgently needed money for his surgery. At that time, they had nothing left, so they could only secretly contact your Uncle Jiang and me.
“Jiang Yu and I helped your parents avoid Jiäng Zhe, and eventually they settled down in A City.
“At that time, Jiäng Zhe was also dealing with some trouble within the Jiäng family, so he had no time to care about this at all. This allowed your parents to have a few years of relative peace, though they remained afraid all the time.
“Later on, Jiäng Zhe still discovered that they were in City A, but for some reason, he didn’t do anything this time. Your parents had long known of Jiäng Zhe’s appearance. While they were worried, they also thought that Jiäng Zhe had decided to let them go.
“However, in truth, Jiäng Zhe hadn’t let go of anything; he only watched your family from afar and let them live in a miserable state. If there was even the slightest sign of improvement, he would extinguish it…”
As he spoke, Zhou Lin sighed.
He looked at Lu Ning, unwilling to continue.
“You should know most of what happened after that, right?
“Your father must have sensed what Jiäng Zhe was going to do, and was prepared to fight to the death.
“Your family’s slowly improving, which is a form of torture for Jiang Zhe… He
can’t let you guys live well, so in the early years, your father placed his assets under our names…
