"What did you do afterward?" An Ruo asked anxiously.
"A prince from the royal family of Country A protected us, but he couldn’t protect us forever. So, he helped us track down Xingtian’s whereabouts. Only by eliminating Xingtian, Ke Ren and I could avoid the fate of being punished," he replied.
"Did you manage to eliminate him?"
Tang Yuchen slightly raised his hand to signal her to be patient, "When I learned of Xingtian’s whereabouts, I was shocked. Do you know who he was in contact with afterward?"
An Ruo shook her head, and he continued, "It was Tang Yushen."
"Him?!" An Ruo was shocked, "If Tang Yushen is in contact with him, wouldn’t that be even more disadvantageous for you?"
"Yes. Tang Yushen wants my life, and Xingtian wants Ke Ren’s life, so they teamed up.
Moreover, having lost Blood Slaughter, Xingtian was like losing his most important protective shell. He needed Tang Yushen’s power and status, and also the cover of the Tang Family’s big company, otherwise he would not deign to cooperate with Tang Yushen.
Tang Yushen is quite ambitious; even the Tang Family can’t satisfy his appetite. He also needed Xingtian’s various abilities to expand his own influence.
If their cooperation succeeds, it will pose a significant threat to society."
"You sent Kangkang away... because you were afraid they would threaten you by using him?" An Ruo suddenly asked.
"Yes, Kangkang is my child. Initially, I could give up the Tang Family for him; naturally, I would also give up TLA or even my life for him. In their plan, there definitely was a phase to kidnap Kangkang, and they would use him to threaten me when necessary. An Ruo, this is why I had to take the child away from you."
"Why didn’t you tell me all this sooner?"
An Ruo asked sadly. If he had told her sooner, she wouldn’t have misunderstood him, wouldn’t have to feel hurt and distressed, and their relationship wouldn’t have reached this point today.
"I wanted to tell you, but I couldn’t!" Tang Yuchen clenched his fists, his voice low.
"Why couldn’t you? I wouldn’t betray you. Are you afraid that I would leak information?"
"Of course, you wouldn’t betray me; I have always trusted you. But what if you were hypnotized?"
Tang Yuchen nodded, "Xingtian has one great skill, which is hypnotism. His hypnotism is irresistible to many, and in severe cases, it can even cause memory loss.
Only Ke Ren and I knew about the plan to counteract Xingtian, and both of us had undergone strict training, so hypnotism didn’t work on us.
But you haven’t been trained. They could find an opportunity to hypnotize you at any moment and learn everything about me through you...
That’s why I told you nothing... so they wouldn’t realize that Ke Ren and I were planning against them,"
"An Ruo, that’s why even after I came back, Ke Ren and I remained married; that’s why I had to relentlessly hurt you..."
"You could have told me, and then moved Kangkang and me to safety so they couldn’t get anything from me."
An Ruo had just finished speaking when she suddenly remembered something.
"That time I fell asleep in Tang Yushen’s office, were they hypnotizing me?"
"Probably, Ke Ren checked your body, and nothing was wrong, but Tang Yushen must have done something, and that was hypnotism. As for moving you and Kangkang, it was impossible. If I had moved you both into protection, Xingtian, who is very cautious, would have sensed that we were secretly acting against him."
