Despite his young age, he can command assassins, and his meticulousness is unlike that of an ordinary child.
Despite having secretly developed his own power, he still plays the role of a helpless child suffering from school violence and family abuse. King Goujian of Yue endured hardship for more than ten years, and Nie Yu's ability to endure is no less than his.
If someone has such a mind and courage at the age of twelve, they will definitely be a formidable character when they grow up.
But his own daughter, Ling'er, was innocent and naive, and foolishly thought that this boy was just an ordinary person.
She would never feel at ease having such a person by her daughter's side at all times.
Nie Yu was meticulous. Even though Gu Momo didn't explain things clearly, he guessed that she probably knew about his men's attempt to harm Ling'er that afternoon.
The Li and Rong families were stronger than him, so investigating these matters would have been an easy task for him.
He had no reason to argue, so he simply bowed slightly in apology and replied in accordance with Gu Momo's meaning, "I understand, Auntie. I will keep my distance from Li Qingling from now on."
Gu Momo wanted to say a few more words to him, but when she saw out of the corner of her eye that her daughter had already led Li Qingtian out, she didn't say anything more.
Nie Yu naturally noticed this as well, and left before Li Qingling could come over.
By the time Li Qingling caught up, Nie Yu had already gotten into a black Mercedes. Li Qingling watched the car drive away and murmured sadly, "Why did he just leave by himself? He didn't even say goodbye to me."
Seeing her daughter's slightly pouting lips, Gu Momo felt even more worried, knowing that even a silent goodbye could affect her daughter's emotions.
......
The Nie family home was quiet late at night, except for a warm yellow desk lamp that was still lit in Nie Yu's bedroom and study.
He sat at his desk, his mind replaying the words Gu Momo had said earlier that day.
Every word seemed to foreshadow that a fragmented and secretive person like him would only bring danger to Li Qingling. No matter what their current situation was, one day, Ling'er would definitely leave him.
As Nie Yu was thinking, a piercing pain shot through his chest. He stretched out his slender fingers and gripped his clothes tightly, but soon, the pain, like a gust of wind, attacked his brain.
He was in excruciating pain, as if someone was relentlessly pounding his brain with a mallet and a hammer. The clanging of metal was like a curse, swirling in his mind.
"Get out! Get out! All of you get out!" Everything in front of him began to blur. It was as if countless black claws were attacking him from the darkness. He could only shout desperately, grabbing anything he could hold and smashing it down.
However, he didn't know that every black claw he swung at was actually something he imagined.
Hearing the commotion, Butler Han burst through the door and rushed over to catch Nie Yu just before he picked up the knife to hurt himself. "Young Master, you can't! You're having another episode. Those things are fake. Please, please don't hurt yourself!"
At this moment, Nie Yu couldn't hear anyone's words at all. His mind was buzzing, and any sound that entered his brain felt like torture.
"Get out! Get out!" he roared, using all his strength to break free of his restraints, almost completely losing his mind.
"Young Master, please wake up! If the Master and the others discover your chronic illness, the consequences will be unimaginable. Please think about all the years of planning we've put together!" The subordinate pleaded, holding back tears.
He was originally from Nie Yu's mother's family and came to the Nie family after she married into the family. In order to save his own life and protect Nie Yu, he pretended to betray her. Over the years, however, he has been providing Nie Yu with information about Nie Zhenyuan's movements and silently protecting him.
Nie Yu regained consciousness briefly at that moment, and Butler Han thought he had persuaded the young master, but the next second, Nie Yu frantically broke free from his restraints again.
Butler Han couldn't control him and stumbled back several steps, his shoulder hitting the corner of the desk, causing him to contort in pain. By the time he came to his senses, Nie Yu had already picked up the dagger again.
In the midst of the crisis, he disregarded the pain in his body, pulled a tranquilizer from his pocket, scrambled over, and plunged the needle into Nie Yu's neck.
Nie Yu's pupils dilated, and his limbs seemed to be frozen, losing all strength. Under the influence of the drug, the bulging veins on his forehead gradually subsided, and he collapsed weakly to the ground.
"Young Master, are you alright?" Butler Han struggled to support himself and helped him to the bed.
Nie Yu leaned against the headboard, and her breathing gradually calmed down.
Han Guojia breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked to the desk to start cleaning up the mess left by Nie Yu's attack.
This wasn't the first time Nie Yu had done this. Ever since he witnessed his mother die in front of him when he was five years old, he had become depressed and ill. Every time he had an attack, he would go crazy uncontrollably, even hurting himself and the people around him.
However, Nie Zhenyuan was unaware of his illness. Otherwise, given their ruthlessness, they might have used this as an excuse to send the young master to a mental hospital. Therefore, every time Nie Yu had an episode, Butler Han would handle everything quietly.
Butler Han squatted down and skillfully picked up the paintbrushes and white paper that had been scattered all over the ground. While tidying up the papers, he realized that they were all drawn with the same girl.
Butler Han carefully placed Nie Yu's painting on the table, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. "This... isn't this Miss Li Qingling who came to the Nie family the other day?"
The young master used to only draw abstract paintings and never portraits, which shows that he really treats this little girl differently.
