Chapter 165 What a Tragedy
*
After leaving Peking University, Zeng Yichen drove to the river alone, sat on the steps by the river, and watched the waves splashing at his feet again and again.
The cool breeze from the river hit the skin on his face and lifted his hair to flutter in front of his eyes.
The once lively boy now has an inappropriate melancholy and fatigue in his eyes.
He stared blankly at the photo of himself, his father and brother on the screen of his phone, but Jiang Manxi's words were replaying over and over in his mind.
'People are responsible for their own actions.'
'If you make a mistake, you should be punished.'
……
The girl's sweet voice was like thunder in his ears, striking deep into his soul and forcing him, who was originally hesitant, to wake up and face the cruel reality.
His home is no longer his home, his relatives are no longer relatives, and he no longer has the ability to distinguish between what is true and what is false.
'Do what feels right to you.'
As the girl's voice once again entered his mind, Zeng Yichen couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Even if he made a decision, he seemed to be just a helpless headless fly.
Zeng Yan, Zeng Nian.
The two names were like two mountains pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe, even if he could force himself to ignore the blood ties between him and them.
But how can he fight against them alone?
Zeng Yichen lowered his head in annoyance, his phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, and he put his hands in his hair in annoyance.
For a moment, he seemed to have lost his sight and could not see the road ahead.
He misses his mother so much...If his mother were still alive, could she tell him what to do?
"Ding Ding..." The cell phone suddenly rang.
Thinking that it might be a call from home, Zeng Yichen became more and more annoyed. He kept his head down as if avoiding it, not wanting to pay attention to the annoying noise.
The phone rang for a long time.
Finally, he looked up and impatiently picked up the phone from the ground. He saw an incoming call on the screen:
sister in law
Zeng Yichen was stunned, and just before the phone hung up, he swiped to answer it.
"Sister-in-law?" he asked.
"Yichen, are you free now?" An Lian asked on the other end of the phone.
Zeng Yichen seemed to have guessed something and hesitated for two seconds, "Yeah."
"Come home now." An Lian said bluntly.
"Home?" Zeng Yichen felt physically disgusted when he heard the word, but he was even more alert. "Is my brother not here?"
There was a two-second pause on the other end of the phone. “Yeah.”
"Okay." Zeng Yichen agreed readily.
After hanging up the phone, Zeng Yichen immediately stood up and walked towards the car parked on the side of the road.
In less than half an hour, he arrived at An Lian and Zeng Yan's villa.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" Zeng Yichen asked impatiently as soon as he sat on the sofa.
An Lian glanced at him, then said to the servant beside her,
"Auntie Wang, please go out first. No one is allowed to come here without my permission."
Aunt Wang paused and replied respectfully, "Yes, ma'am." Then she left the living room and closed the door.
Zeng Yichen reacted and felt it was ridiculous. His tone was very sarcastic, "Zeng Yan actually sent a servant to monitor you?"
An Lian confirmed that Wang Ma had left the living room, so she sat on the sofa as well. "It's not like I'm sending someone to monitor you."
She said calmly, "They would have taken the initiative to monitor me for him anyway, so there's no need to send them."
Zeng Yichen looked at her with a look of care from a relative, "Why don't we go outside..."
"No, home is the safest." An Lian said decisively, "My privacy is protected at home, so there are no eavesdropping devices. But that may not be the case outside."
Zeng Yichen's eyes dimmed and he nodded.
An Lian took out her cell phone, operated it for a few times, and then handed it to Zeng Yichen, "Here are some things I found."
Zeng Yichen took it and saw the report cover with the symbol of their military camp printed on it. He looked up at An Lian in shock.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing..." Did you take secret photos in the military camp?
She must be too courageous!
"You look first." An Lian, however, sat calmly on the ground, not caring at all.
Zeng Yichen sighed helplessly and continued to flip the screen.
But then, his eyes widened even more, and became angrier.
"He actually did that to Ji..." He yelled.
An Lian interrupted him in time, "Shh!"
Zeng Yichen tried hard to suppress his anger, his chest heaving violently, and he clenched his fists.
"So, do you have any information? About that day, or about that HYP controller."
An Lian also understood that Zeng Yichen was probably unaware of the shameful secret that could threaten someone's life, so she simply didn't bother to ask.
"I know the HYP controller," Zeng Yichen immediately grasped a key word,
"That's a high-tech hypnosis machine assigned to us by the higher-ups. It's used to torture spies and steal information from enemy countries. It seems to be able to connect to a person's brain waves or something, and tamper with the nerve receiving system... Wait!!"
Zeng Yichen immediately responded with a question, "They actually used this machine on Ji Baobei that day?"
"Well," An Lian nodded and repeated the question, "So what happened in the military camp that day?"
"That day……"
Zeng Yichen looked at the date and fell into memories.
"I was away that day..."
Eh? ?
The next day, Zeng Yan asked him to return Ji Baobei's notebook, and then match the first pursuit record in the report and create a large truck accident...
No wonder baby Tianji had a bandage on his forehead!
And why did they hunt down someone and ask him to return the notebook?
Could it be that the pursuit failed and they wanted him to go investigate? Did the other party have any suspicions? Or did they recover their memories and expose their unknown ugliness? !
And the second pursuit that followed, with the record of 'brake line damage', happened on the same day, not long after he and she met...
If it weren't for the fact that Ji Baobao was blessed by heaven, then wouldn't it be...
Zeng Yichen frowned, his fingers tightly grasped the screen of his mobile phone, shaking wildly. The more he thought about it, the more hateful and terrifying it seemed to him!
What kind of monster is the elder brother whom he has respected for many years? !
If the eldest brother is like this, what about his father?! Is he unaware of all this? Or... is he the mastermind behind all this? ? ?
The eldest brother has always been respectful to his father and obedient to his father, so what is the answer... Even if Zeng Yichen doesn't want to admit it, he seems to have to face it.
"Damn it!" Zeng Yichen couldn't help but curse out loud, and his free hand slammed hard on the coffee table, making a loud noise.
An Lian sat quietly aside, but her fingers silently tightened the corner of her clothes.
She felt very guilty. If she had not told the truth, Zeng Yichen could have continued to live a simple and happy life without worries. Over the years, she could see that her father-in-law really loved his youngest son. Even though she had done many evil things, she had never blasphemed the sense of justice in Zeng Yichen.
And did Zeng Yan just happen to inherit all his evil?
Oh~ what a tragedy.
Zeng Yan is, and so is she.
