When Gao Yuanbin was two years old, his father was framed by the Li and Du families and imprisoned.

Upon learning the news, Gao's mother was so devastated that she fell ill and never recovered, plunging the entire Gao household into chaos.

Gao Changhong tirelessly traveled between the court and the capital every day, searching for a solution for his father, while Lan Xing served Gao's mother in the inner quarters, enduring her insults from time to time.

With Gao Changhong not around, Gao's mother hurled all sorts of nasty insults at him, and Lan Xing could only silently endure it.

She knew Gao Changhong was under a lot of pressure, but she didn't complain to him about it.

A month later, thanks to Gao Changhong's efforts, Gao's father was finally cleared of his crimes. However, when he came out of prison, he had been tortured beyond recognition and his will had been completely broken.

Less than two months later, Gao's father also passed away at home, and Gao's mother hanged herself on the same day he died.

Before she died, Gao's mother blamed Lan Xing for everything in front of Gao Changhong.

This time, Gao Changhong remained silent, simply enduring his mother's madness alongside Lan Xing.

After learning that his mother had also hanged herself, Gao Changhong became even more gloomy.

While he was keeping vigil for his parents at the mourning hall, Li Lian'an and Du Ruijie once again arrived at the Gao residence with their men, humiliating and mocking him, and making a mess of the mourning hall.

Thunder roared in the sky, and torrential rain pelted Gao Changhong like stones. He stood in the rain, his clothes torn to shreds, his eyes dark as he stared at the arrogant figures of Li and Du as they left.

His fists clenched suddenly.

Hatred slowly seeped out from between his teeth.

"Li Lian'an, Du Ruijie, I will make you two families pay for your crimes in blood!"
