After Xia Ziqi's intermittent explanation, the rest of the matter became clear.

Fujihiro always remembered the grudge with the Xia family. After knowing that his father had received such a "mission", he instigated and encouraged his father to come to the Xia family villa before carrying out the mission, take advantage of the chaos to get rid of the Xia family and seize the Xia family's supplies.

After knowing this, Xia Guozhang and Xia Ziqi took the initiative to confess their relationship with the Xia family to Teng Junjie, and took the initiative to volunteer to follow Teng Junjie to share a piece of the pie.

Xia Ziqi cried bitterly, and said with regret, "Cousin, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have agreed to them. I shouldn't have helped outsiders to harm my family! I'm a bastard! I'm a beast!"

"But I really don't want to die... Please, give me another chance! I won't dare to do it again!"

Xia Shige looked at Xia Ziqi coldly and asked the last question in his mind: "Xia Ziqi, tell me honestly...did your mother really run away with another man?"

Xia Ziqi froze when he heard that, as if he had not expected Xia Shige to ask that. He widened his eyes in surprise, his mouth opened wide, and this expression on his tearful face looked a little funny.

Xia Shige stared at Xia Ziqi's face closely, not wanting to miss any change in his emotions.

Xia Shige has never believed that a woman like Ruan Jiayu would run away with another man for a little food. This is really inconsistent with Ruan Jiayu's character.

If Ruan Jiayu was not the kind of woman who would run away, she would not have endured the pressure of gambling debts and stayed with Xia Guozhang for so many years.

Xia Ziqi didn't know what he was thinking about. His face turned grim for a moment and he clenched his teeth without saying a word.

Xia Shige became a little impatient when she saw this. She put the gun to Xia Ziqi's head, narrowed her eyes and said, "You won't say it, right..."

Seeing the black muzzle of the gun pointing at him, Xia Ziqi immediately changed his expression.

He widened his eyes in fear and spoke incoherently, "...I said! I said! Don't kill me!...It's all because of my dad!"

Xia Ziqi raised his hands to cover his eyes, pretending to be in a state of collapse, and sobbed as he said, "...On the way to evacuate, we accidentally got separated from the government's main force and encountered a few robbers..."

"Dad took some supplies from them and sold my mom to them..."

As for the supplies obtained from selling Ruan Jiayu, they had already lost them to Teng Junjie in a gamble.

Hearing this, Xia Shige could no longer suppress her anger. She slapped Xia Ziqi on the face and raised her voice, "Xia Ziqi! Are you a beast? That's your own mother!"

The father and son teamed up to sell their mother. Even animals can't do such a thing!

Xia Guozhang and Xia Ziqi are worse than animals!

Xia Ziqi was stunned by Xia Shige's slap. He raised his head and looked at Xia Shige blankly, and said subconsciously: "But...but my mother volunteered...If she wasn't sold, my father and I would never be able to go to the city..."

As soon as Xia Ziqi finished speaking, Xia Shige's face became even uglier.

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Xia Ziqi quickly covered his head and shouted, "No! No, no! Cousin, I was wrong! That's not what I meant!... It was my dad who insisted on selling my mom! I tried to stop him, but I couldn't stop him!"

Xia Ziqi wiped his face in embarrassment, then he stood up and knelt in front of Xia Shige, begging for mercy: "Cousin! I am your biological cousin! You can't kill me!... You have killed my father, can you bear not to leave him a descendant?!..."

Having said this, Xia Ziqi suddenly paused.
