031: "You don't actually like him, do you?"
When Fu Tingyu was eight years old, it happened to be the time of his grandfather's seventieth birthday.
The young Fu Tingyu was pushed into the pool by five or six children of the same age at the family banquet that day.
The banquet was held at the Fu family's old residence, so the pool there was quite large.
The pool is about 1.8 meters deep, and an adult could save themselves if pushed in.
But Fu Tingyu was only eight years old at that time.
Eight years old is an age when you don't even dare to fight back if you're bullied.
If Fu Tingyu's mother hadn't arrived at the scene in time, the young child would probably have been dead.
Fu Tingyu's mother was very angry, and after a huge scene, the matter reached the ears of Old Master Fu.
As a result, no one in the family dared to bully Fu Tingyu anymore.
But these are only the surface.
Fu Tingyu's father served in the army for ten years in his early years, and his methods can be described as swift and decisive.
When he discovered that the son born to his mistress was not related to him by blood, the unknown mistress was sold to a nightclub by Fu Tingyu's father.
Compared to his reckless lover, the man realized that what he truly cared about in the end was Fu Tingyu's mother.
Fu's mother is a renowned art connoisseur who travels all over the world, and she only returns home for important occasions during the year.
The Fu family wouldn't let her take Fu Tingyu with her, so Fu Tingyu only met her mother a handful of times.
It wasn't until later that Fu Tingyu learned the truth.
—After punishing his lover that time, Fu Tingyu's father locked his wife in the basement to prevent her from leaving him.
It was locked up for five years.
The night Fu Tingyu discovered the truth, it also rained heavily outside the Fu family villa.
Just like when a man is born.
They were not born with expectations, and even after birth, their childhood was a nightmare.
That night, thirteen-year-old Fu Tingyu accidentally opened a hidden door leading to the basement and saw his mother chained to the ground floor.
The woman was like a skeleton, devoid of her former vitality.
This was undoubtedly a huge impact on a quiet, thirteen-year-old child.
Almost immediately, the young boy tried to escape, but his father, who suddenly appeared, blocked his way.
When the truth about the illegal imprisonment was discovered, Fu Yuan—Fu Tingyu's father—remained calm.
The man held a sharp military knife, intending to completely silence his son.
A thirteen-year-old child has absolutely no fighting ability; he could even be easily overpowered by Fu Yuan with one hand.
But Fu Tingyu's mother, at the last moment, risked her life to protect her only son.
As a result, Fu Yuan's attention was diverted, and his inner malice was aroused to the maximum extent.
And so, on a night when no one knew, amidst thunder and torrential rain.
At the tender age of thirteen, Fu Tingyu witnessed his father murder his mother.
The seeds of cause and effect are sown at this moment.
Not long after, Fu Tingyu took the initiative to apply to the then head of the family to study in the UK.
This is the first step the man has taken in his counterattack.
Because he knew that, given his abilities at the time, some things wouldn't have a good outcome.
When Fu Tingyu was eighteen, it was Grandpa Fu's eightieth birthday.
By then, the man had already accumulated considerable power and established his own social circle abroad.
Even in the shadows, one could vaguely glimpse Fu Yuan's figure.
Later, he returned to China.
The man returned to the basement where he had witnessed his mother's murder and met Fu Yuan again.
The Fu family covered up the truth about Fu's mother's death, so almost no one outside knew the real reason for the death of this famous art connoisseur who had caused such a sensation.
But Fu Tingyu knew.
This incident was a recurring nightmare for Fu Tingyu during his studies abroad, haunting him every night at midnight.
The basement was very small back then.
It was in a small basement.
The now powerful man used the same model of military knife from back then to stab Fu Yuan's body.
Huaiyan felt that this might be the beginning of a man's obsession and madness.
After that, no one in the Fu family dared to look down on Fu Tingyu anymore.
At the age of 25, Fu Tingyu officially took over the Fu Group through his father's will.
Thus, Huai Yan was able to meet Fu Tingyu today.
“The man next to Fu Tingyu, Fang Shaohan,” 073 said, “has been helping Fu Tingyu through his most difficult times since he was a child.”
Therefore, Fu Tingyu currently has only this one friend by his side.
No matter how unreliable Fang Shaohan is, he is still the only one Fu Tingyu can trust.
Huaiyan sighed and lay on the bed, reluctant to get up.
Actually, when 073 said these things, he felt a little sorry for the man.
The man gave him the feeling that he had always been this powerful.
After all, Fu Tingyu has always been in a dominant position in their relationship.
When Huaiyan leans on a man's shoulder or chest, she always feels a very secret sense of security.
This includes the last announcement sent by 2365.
Whenever he thought of the name Fu Tingyu, he felt inexplicably at peace.
However, this strength in men is not something they are born with.
Instead, he endured bullying and humiliation for over a decade within his large family before finally achieving this result.
“Actually, this makes it easier to understand why he wants you to stay by his side,” 073 said after a long pause. “He’s probably afraid someone will take you away?”
Just like the Fu family, if you don't hold onto something tightly, then that thing will never be yours.
"Damn it! No way!!"
Suddenly, 073 shouted out of some unknown reason and became excited.
Huaiyan was startled and asked, "W-what's wrong?"
073's smile was more like a grimace: "Do you remember what 2365 sent you back then?"
Huaiyan: "..."
Huai Yan paused, then seemed to remember something, and her ears turned bright red.
"What happened?" The boy didn't want to think about it anymore, his voice soft and weak, "I...I didn't touch that thing..."
He really didn't move. Even when he accidentally saw it while passing by on a normal day, he would carefully look away.
“I know you definitely didn’t move,” 073 said. “What I mean is, if the villain really wants you to go to his side, he will send you back to pack your bags.”
Huaiyan: "...!?"
This time, Huai Yan remained even more silent.
That means, without any preparation or cover-up.
If a man follows him into the rented room, there is a high probability that he will discover the "toy".
And it's unavoidable.
Because if a man wanted to enter his rented room, Huaiyan had no reason to stop him.
If Fu Tingyu saw something like that...
The boy shivered slightly, and the tip of his nose turned red.
"What should we do?" Huaiyan sat up anxiously and asked, "If he sees me, will he think it's me..."
Could Fu Tingyu have thought that he bought it for his own use?
Absolutely not!
The boy's heart pounded.
The thought of the man seeing that "toy" on the spot made him want to disappear into a crack in the ground.
How could something so shameful be discovered!
“Then get up now,” 073 was even more flustered than Huaiyan, “and throw that thing away.”
It's not that you can't let a man see that thing, but rather what he will think after seeing the "toy".
"good……"
A tear welled up in the boy's slightly reddened eyes, and a teardrop still clung to his delicate chin.
Just now, while listening to 073 recount Fu Tingyu's childhood, my nose suddenly felt sore and tears streamed down my face.
If a man really wants to lock him up, there's nothing he can't do as long as the task is completed.
After all, a man can't keep him locked up for long.
He might leave this plane once the mission is completed.
"Host." Only then did 073 realize that something was wrong with Huaiyan. "Why are you crying?"
Even when struggling to complete the task in the rented room and facing a psychopath, the boy didn't cry like this.
With a click, the bedroom door was pushed open.
The living room was empty, and there was no man in sight.
Huaiyan didn't answer; he couldn't explain where his heartache came from.
Perhaps they knew that this seemingly powerful and domineering man had walked a path paved with blood.
Witnessing Fu Yuan murder his mother firsthand, and then seeking revenge years later, the hardships and obstacles involved were far greater than they appeared.
Fu Tingyu did not kill his father, but spared his life.
Fu Yuan is still lying in the hospital.
The man was intelligent and understood that if he really killed Fu Yuan, then he and Fu Yuan would be the same kind of person.
Huaiyan changed her clothes and shoes before answering softly.
“I… don’t know why either,” the boy lowered his fluttering eyelashes, looking frail and obedient, “It’s so strange.”
It's so strange, this is the first time I've ever had this feeling.
073 didn't say anything, he just sighed.
This is not a good sign.
-
After Huaiyan left the hotel, the process went exceptionally smoothly.
There weren't even any bodyguards at the door of the room, and the silence made Huaiyan feel uneasy.
However, it was only for a moment; the urge to go back and throw away the "toy" was incredibly strong.
I can't imagine how interesting the expressions on a man's face will be when he sees that pink "toy".
Along the way, Huaiyan's thoughts were in turmoil.
One moment she thinks of the scenes of the man being bullied when he was young, and the next she can't help but think of the "toys" that 2365 sent him.
These two things are really messing with the boy's brain.
But in the rush, Huaiyan felt that she and 073 had forgotten something particularly important.
But at this anxious moment, he just couldn't remember it.
Soon, the taxi arrived near the residential building and came to a smooth stop.
Drivers in this area will not drive their cars into residential buildings.
Huaiyan had no choice but to get off the bus and planned to walk home.
Anyway, it won't take long to take the toys out and throw them away.
Even if the man was monitoring him, the toy being thrown away wouldn't be verifiable.
"I understand!" 073 pondered for a long time before finally coming to a conclusion.
"You wouldn't happen to... like Fu Tingyu, would you?"
