"Aunt and Xi'er died." Du Tianxing told him and he sounded as if he was about to cry. This was far from the current man that had continuously bossed Min Yue around. The man who spoke sounded like someone who was mourning a very important person who died.
Min Yue's gaze became profound. This was a scene from five years ago. It was the day he learned of his mother and sister's deaths.
He must have gone deaf and crazy because the only thing he could hear was Du Tianxing's sobbing sound at the other line of the phone then the line was cut off.
Min Yue was not sure how he got to the hospital. He was also not sure how he managed to tear open the blankets covering the dead bodies of his mother and sister.
For a moment, the soulless and lifeless bodies of the women in his life remained in his sight until his eyes became blinded and blurry with tears.
"We discovered that the young miss was violated before she died... There were bruises on her body... her thighs, her neck, wrists...The madam...the madam was poisoned. We have reported this to the authorities and police...." PA Ren said to Min Yue but he was not able to continue because he noticed that the condition of Min Yue was not stable.
Before he could be stopped, Min Yue dashed out of the hospital and drove back to the Min family's mansion.
Like a bull, he charged towards the place where he called home and barged into his father's office. Min Yue stilled when he saw what he stumbled upon.
His father was being lewd and intimate with the lady from the Yang family.
His mind went blank. He could not believe it. His mother and sister died but his own father was having an affair with a woman.
The corpse of his wife has only gone cold and his own daughter was raped to death. Did this man have any conscience?
Min Yue who was still eighteen at that time was not in the right state of mind. Anyone who was in his shoes would have gone crazy from anger.
He did not know how he did it. But one second he was standing by the door and the next he was rushing out of the kitchen with a knife.
When Min Yue came back to reality, his hands were covered in blood. His clothes were no better while his father was clutching his lower region and howling in pain, shouting curses at him.
Min Yue smiled.
It felt like he was able to get even with his father, albeit only a little. But his victory was cut short when a blow to the back of the head made him unconscious.
When he woke up, he was at that alleyway. There were many people with mean looks that surrounded him. In the center was his father who was glaring at him with a cold expression.
The other woman was not on sight. He regretted not being able to stab the woman.
He smiled at his father. The person who gave him half of his genes and the person that said that he would take care of his wife and children while making an oath under the heavens.
But what was this?
Min Yue was the only one left. His mother was dead and his sister was dead.
And of course, his father who did not deserve to be his father would never have any other children aside from him.
It served him right for his infidelity and lies.
Min Yue smiled mockingly which earned him a harsh beating.
"If you can survive this, come and crawl back to the Min family for an apology. Only then would I take you back." His father said before disappearing.
Min Yue did not back down easily but one against twelve made it hard for him. Moreover, those people were carrying bats and pipes.
He was not sure if he was really going to survive but he still fought. While remembering his mother who said she loved him, he fought. While reminiscing about his sister who said that she trusted him, he fought.
And while remembering the woman who had an affair with his father, he fought.
That was the person who poisoned his mother, he was sure of it.
As for the person or people who violated his beloved sister, Min Yue's body did not stop shaking. His teeth rattled and his stomach twisted.
For a moment the lifeless body of Xi'er who was only fifteen appeared in his mind.
So young and so innocent...
Min Yue must have been running in adrenaline, otherwise he would have not survived for long while outnumbered.
He managed to fell half of the people but after that, his body completely gave up even though his will was still straining for him to get up and fight back.
He did not want to give up. Those people who killed his precious people were still out there.
Min Yue cried but he was weak.
A weak person like him was defeated.
He wanted so badly to survive but then what was the point. Even if he survived, what other choice did he have but to go back? He'd be forced to face those people. Even if he wanted to run away, he would be brought back.
He was the only male descendant left since his father was no longer able to have other children. He was needed to continue the line of the Min family.
How hateful.
He wanted revenge... he wanted it badly...
But then, after that, what was next? After revenge, would he be happy?
"Yue, stay strong for Mom. Stay strong for your sister. You will always have me and Xixi as your home."
"Mom, you're gone. I don't have a home anymore. And Xi'er, I couldn't protect her."
"Hello...?"
A voice dispersed the hazy mist in his mind. Min Yue was lying on the ground. Through blurry eyes, he managed to spot a white figure approaching him.
Was this an angel or the reaper who came to take his soul?
Min Yue was tired. He no longer had a home so he was giving up.
Guardian angel, take me away, he thought as he waited for the figure to come.
