She seemed to be in a hurry, as she took out a large bag of cash, about 200,000 yuan, and carefully put it into her black bag.
He had so much money in his pocket, yet he couldn't even bear to take a taxi. Wearing worn-out shoes, he hurried forward as if he were delivering something that urgently needed saving his life, his eyes looking terribly unfocused.
Lu Fenglin, hiding in the corner, took advantage of the woman's distraction and rushed forward, taking the entire black bag with him.
It was so fast that even surveillance cameras couldn't capture it.
But the woman did not let go immediately.
Ignoring everything else, she used her last bit of strength to grab the bag, screaming at the top of her lungs, "Please! Please don't take it! That's my dad's life-saving money!!!"
However, the shouts that shocked the entire street did not elicit even a shred of pity from Lu Fenglin.
His life-saving money—yes, it was indeed his life-saving money; without it, he would still die.
When you can't even survive yourself, you can't take care of others.
After all, his parents left him nothing!
In the chaos, Lu Fenglin activated his magic, severed the woman's hand, kicked her away, and fled.
With the money, he found a small hotel that didn't require an ID card, where he could barely make ends meet and have enough to eat and wear.
But three days later, when he passed by that road again, he found that the woman's father had passed away, and she was carrying the memorial tablet in one hand, walking slowly.
The severed hand, lacking funds, received no proper treatment and was simply wrapped in gauze, still bleeding profusely.
The wound caused the entire forearm to become infected and ulcerated, turning bluish-red, making passersby turn away in distress.
But……
What does this have to do with him?
He simply wanted to... survive.
Since awakening his magic that allows him to attack people, Lu Fenglin's life has become much better. At least he won't get caught and beaten by the big man for stealing anymore.
If you have to compete with stray dogs for food, then you have the ability to protect yourself.
At that time, Lu Fenglin was just getting by, and he was lucky that he was no longer being beaten or scolded, and no longer suffering from cold and hunger.
He never imagined that he would be adopted by a wealthy family.
That family was in business. They consulted a top-tier fortune teller who predicted that having more boys in the family would bring them great success and wealth.
This world believes in metaphysics and fate, and that family naturally believed in it as well. So they publicly searched the whole city for a boy with the same surname, hoping to adopt him.
The family's surname was Lu, so Lu Fenglin had a vendor make a fake ID card, changed his surname, and approached the wealthy man himself.
That day was the first time Lu Fenglin had lived in such a big house with such a soft bed, and the wealthy couple treated him very well.
The almost meticulous care made him feel like he was home for a moment.
They would hire a tutor for him to teach him manners, morality, and a sense of shame.
As he studied, Lu Fenglin realized something was wrong; the world didn't seem as cold as he had thought.
Little Lu Fenglin vowed to be a good person.
He even considered earning the money himself to return the 200,000 yuan to that woman, and then researching techniques for bringing the dead back to life to help that woman save her father, even if it meant sacrificing half his own life.
He studied knowledge during the day and practiced magic at night. His parents left him nothing, so he had to collect fragmented cultivation materials on his own.
I fall asleep almost every day while holding a book.
He was very tired, but he did it happily.
Can……
Good times don't last long.
A month after adopting him, the wealthy couple's company lost another 300 million.
The metaphysician came to the house and personally revealed his true colors, saying that the mark on the back of his neck represented misfortune and would bring death to everyone in the family.
They must be kicked out.
Lu Fenglin was stunned for a moment, and a dull pain came from his chest. He was just thinking that beautiful dreams are like a fleeting moment, always short-lived.
Where will he wander in the future?
But how could the wealthy couple let those three hundred million go down the drain?
They took back all the kindness they had shown Lu Fenglin, beat him until he was covered in bruises, and forced him to work as a nanny and gardener at home.
Lu Fenglin couldn't stand it. He didn't understand why parents could just abandon their children like that.
His parents were like that, and so was this couple...
He vowed that if he ever became a father, he would treat his child well, and even if it meant risking his life for his child's peace, it would be the greatest worthwhile thing to do.
