Chapter 342 The Secret in the Heart

After disappearing for a day, Ye Shouren returned to Yanjing City anxiously.

His disappearance did not attract anyone's attention.

That home was always cold and deserted, and he often didn't go home, so this short-term disappearance was not a strange thing in the eyes of Hua Yunshang and Ye Detang.

It was already afternoon when they arrived in Yanjing. Ye Shouren was worried about Wen Jing, so he didn't go home or go to the Institute of Physics, but went directly to the army to find Hua Yunze.

Ye Shouren just wanted to ask whether there was any follow-up plan for the task that Hua Yunze arranged for Wen Jing, and whether it would put Wen Jing in danger.

After hearing the question asked by Ye Shouren, Hua Yunze looked at Ye Shouren with some surprise. In Hua Yunze's opinion, Wen Jing would not be the kind of person who would leak the mission at will.

She said it out loud because she must have noticed some connection between Ye Shouren and this matter. Thinking of this, Hua Yunze asked Ye Shouren directly:

"What are you doing going to that village? What's your purpose?"

Wen Jing asked Ye Shouren this question.

At that time, he had some concerns in his mind but didn't say them.

But now Wen Jing is still lying in ambush in the village and has not come out. In addition, Hua Yunze is Ye Shouren's uncle, so Ye Shouren finally chose to tell the truth to Hua Yunze.

The truth was beyond Hua Yunze's expectations, but also beyond his expectations. He asked Ye Shouren:

"If your father is really related to that thing, and I get decisive evidence and punish him, what will you choose then?"

Ye Shouren didn't expect his uncle to ask him this question so directly. He was stunned for a moment and asked Hua Yunze instead of answering:

"If there is decisive evidence, will he be shot?"

"Yes." Hua Yunze answered neatly.

The straightforward answer made Ye Shouren's body collapse all of a sudden. He was originally standing, but after hearing Hua Yunze's words, he fell heavily into the chair behind him.

Seeing Ye Shouren was hit hard, Hua Yunze couldn't help but sigh.

Hua Yunze was already thinking about telling Ye Shouren all the bad things Ye Detang had done and what he had done to Ye Shouren's mother.

He will judge right from wrong himself.

However, Hua Yunze couldn't make a decision on his own. He thought he had to discuss it with Hua Yunshang before making a decision. But he still told Ye Shouren:

"I watched you grow up. You have always been upright and honest. You are your mother's pride. Maybe your father's affairs will embarrass you, but I believe you will make a wise choice. Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil. Those who do bad things should pay the price."

Ye Shouren lowered his head, his face flushed. He felt extremely ashamed because he really did not deserve such praise from his uncle.

At least Ye Shouren himself knew that he was not as upright and bright as Hua Yunze said. On the contrary, deep in his heart, he had always been hiding unspeakable secrets.

About twenty years ago, when Ye Shouren was about six or seven years old, he saw Ye Detang going out and wanted to go out and play with his father, but Ye Detang refused Ye Shouren.

Because he wanted to play, Ye Shouren secretly climbed into the trunk of the car that Ye Detang was riding in.

He just wanted to go out for fun, but he didn't expect to hear Ye Detang talking with An Qingxiao in the back seat of the car. He heard with his own ears that Ye Detang instructs An Qingxiao to burn the entire Lu family to death.

Ye Shouren, who was hiding in the trunk at the time, was trembling all over and his feet were cold.

The next day, he learned about the extermination of the Lu family from the idle chatter of some adults, which made him even more certain that what he heard in the trunk was false.

Therefore, Ye Shouren has known for many years that his well-dressed father is actually an evil and vicious executioner.

It was because of this incident that Ye Shouren decided to stay away from the whirlpool of power. He did not want to become a black-hearted person like Ye Shouren.

But he knew about it, but because Ye Detang was his father, he chose to remain silent. Many nights, he woke up in panic from nightmares.

This is also the reason why he made up his mind to deal with Ye Detang and bring him down, because Ye Detang's various behaviors made Ye Shouren understand that his father had been devoured by desire and would never regret what he had done.

But even so, Ye Shouren didn't want Ye Detang to die.

How could he be upright? He was simply hypocritical and selfish. Just because Ye Detang was his father, he kept the earth-shattering secret to himself.

Even until now, he still tries to protect Ye Detang.

That was the man who rode on his shoulders and looked out at the sea when he was a child. It was impossible for him to send this man to the gallows in person, but at the same time he had to spit on his own disgusting behavior in his heart.

So when Hua Zeyun praised him, he lowered his head. In fact, his heart, which was burning like a raging fire, was also wavering a little.

Many times, he had the urge to speak out about that matter, but in the end his emotions overcame his reason and he kept it deep in his heart.

That incident accumulated dust in his heart and almost drove him crazy.

Now, Ye Shouren knew that even if he said nothing, Ye Detang might have already reached his end.

After coming out from Hua Yunze, Ye Shouren felt a little absent-minded. After thinking about it, he went to Gu Qijiao's house again.

The sky will gradually darken.

When Ye Shouren walked into the yard of Gu Qijiao's house, Zheng Shuning was pouring dishwashing water into the sewer in the yard.

He had never seen Zheng Shuning before, and for a moment he almost thought he had walked into the wrong yard and almost backed out.

Just at this time, Zheng Yunsheng came out of the house and saw Ye Shouren, and hurriedly called Ye Shouren to stop.

Ye Shouren followed Zheng Yunsheng into the house, where Gu Qijiao and her parents were sitting. Ye Shouren greeted them one by one.

It was a young man sitting in the corner who was unfamiliar to Ye Shouren.

Seeing Ye Shouren looking at Lu Zhiang, Zheng Yunsheng introduced him to Ye Shouren:

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. The one in the yard just now is my sister, and this one is my junior fellow apprentice, Mr. Rong's new apprentice. His name is Lu Zhiang."

When his name was mentioned, Lu Zhiang stood up politely and extended his hand to shake hands with Ye Shouren.

But Ye Shouren just stood there, staring at Lu Zhiang without any reaction.

"Brother Shouren?" Zheng Yunsheng reminded Ye Shouren.

Ye Shouren reacted at this moment, and immediately shook hands with Lu Zhiang, saying, "Hello!"

Ye Shouren looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil. He remembered this name and heard that he was the only young man who survived the fire.

Now, time has passed and the boy has grown up. Ye Shouren never thought that he would meet Lu Zhiang. Just by the name, he knew that he must be the survivor of the Lu family.

Because the desolate and sad aura on him will not deceive people. He is a man with an empty body and mind, and without any worldly smell.

At this time, Zheng Yunsheng also realized belatedly that Ye Shouren was Ye Detang's son. If Ye Detang was really the one who killed the entire Lu family, then Ye Shouren was the son of Lu Zhiang's mortal enemy.

Since Zheng Yunsheng knew this situation, he would definitely not let Lu Zhiang have any deep contact with Ye Shouren. Otherwise, when Lu Zhiang knew the truth, he would hate himself for sitting with Ye Shouren and chatting and laughing.

The children of the enemy, bleeding the blood of the enemy, must be disgusting existences for the parties involved.

So Zheng Yunsheng said to Lu Zhiang:

"Zhi'ang, go to bed first. Brother Shouren and I have some private matters to discuss!"
