478: Chapter 478: Clues to One’s Background!
Grandma Xu’s face trembled as she shook her head, “I don’t know…
they all covered their faces…
were not from the south, but from the north…”
Grandma Xu, shivering, reconstructed the scene of the fire disaster from that year.
Ning Jinyu held Grandma Xu’s hand the entire time, gently guiding her to release the hidden memories of fear in her heart.
they were from the north…
they used incendiary bombs to burn down the orphanage…
to kill many of the orphanage staff…
those staff members were innocent…
demons, they are all demons…” Grandma Xu’s voice shook with emotion, and tears fell from her eyes.
“They didn’t just kill the staff, they even…
didn’t spare the children…
those children in the orphanage, they were all minors…
some were only five or six years old…
but they, they didn’t spare even the children…”
Upon hearing Grandma Xu’s description, Lin Shuang clenched her fists tightly, making a ‘creak creak’ sound at her knuckles.
Those demons, not only did they kill the orphanage staff, but even the orphanage children were not spared?!
Such actions, are simply outrageous!!
At that moment, as if the memories from that year flooded back in an instant, Grandma Xu relived the horror.
“Why did they set the orphanage on fire?!
What was their purpose?!” Lin Shuang grasped Grandma Xu’s hand tightly and asked with urgency.
Grandma Xu’s eyes were filled with complexity, and suddenly she looked at Lin Shuang with terror.
they were looking for you!”
On hearing this, Lin Shuang’s expression tensed?!
“They were looking for me?!”
Grandma Xu nodded shakily, the memories that had been lost after the brain trauma…
all came back to her.
They were looking for you!
When they stormed the orphanage that year, they forced Director Lin to give up your whereabouts…
but you had already left the orphanage at that time…
Director Lin and the others couldn’t give them your location…
In the end, they searched the entire orphanage and didn’t find you, Ice Cube…
ruthlessly killed all the people inside the orphanage…
they spared no one, not the elderly nor the children…
in the end, even Director Lin was taken by them…
before they left, they set the whole orphanage on fire…
demons, they are all demons!!” Grandma Xu spoke with a trembling voice, tears falling!
She remembered everything about that year!
According to Grandma Xu’s account, that year…
those assassins from the north…
rampaged and slaughtered the members of the orphanage, and the sole reason they set the orphanage on fire and killed people, was to find the young Ice Cube, also known as Lin Shuang?!
Hearing this insider information, Lin Shuang’s face became extremely grave!
Why were they looking for her?
Could it be that those mysterious assassins from the Imperial Capital were related to her background?
Were they originally there to kill Lin Shuang and silence her?
But they didn’t find Lin Shuang, so they wiped out the entire orphanage??
Lin Shuang clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with murderous intent!
Even Su Wanqiao was shocked beyond measure upon hearing this insider information?
Who would have thought, the orphanage being wiped out was related to Lin Shuang?
“Grandma Xu, how did you…
escape those assassins that year?
And where did Director Lin go?” Lin Shuang asked with a heavy tone.
Grandma Xu, trembling, recounted…
how she had miraculously survived the fire that year…
because she hid in the sewer and wasn’t discovered.
When she saw those assassins storming the orphanage and unleashing slaughter, Grandma Xu was terrified.
In her panic, she hid in the orphanage’s sewer trench, and that was how she narrowly escaped the assassins’ pursuit.
Later, when the assassins set the fire, the fire did not burn Grandma Xu in the sewer.
But because of that fire…
she suffered burns all over her body, and even her brain was injured…
Grandma Xu became comatose because of her severe injuries.
Latter on, the firefighters found her and rescued her from the scene of the fire, but she lay unconscious for seven years.
She hadn’t awakened until Lin Shuang found her.
It was only a few months ago that Su Wanqiao managed to wake Grandma Xu.
According to Grandma Xu, Director Lin Jianguo was taken by the assassins during that massacre by fire.
For years, there had been no news of Director Lin throughout the south.
Lin Shuang, anxious, moved closer and asked, “Grandma Xu, do you know anything about my background?”
Grandma Xu shook her head, trembling, indicating she didn’t know about Lin Shuang’s origins.
However, Grandma Xu suddenly seemed to remember something, and with a trembling voice she said, “Right…
when those assassins broke into the orphanage that year, Director Lin secretly gave me a document…
he warned me to destroy it…
to never open that document…
otherwise, many people would die…”
“I didn’t manage to destroy the document before the fire took hold, and I passed out from the flames.
Back then, I hid the document in a crevice in the sewer…
If the orphanage hasn’t been demolished, perhaps…
perhaps that document is still there…” Grandma Xu continued, shaking.
On hearing this, Lin Shuang’s gaze sharpened?!
might still be there!
After the Red Sun Orphanage was reduced to ashes, that piece of land was sealed off, and no one cared about it since.
Lin Shuang told Su Wanqiao to take good care of Grandma Xu, then he quickly rushed out of the sickroom…
