He asked her whether she had liked Lu Yan before.
This time she was much more composed than before. "I was indeed moved, but I dare not trust him anymore, including you, Grandpa. Now the entire Xia family has become his pawn. Why should I keep hitting a brick wall? It's just an act between us." More importantly, she only had a little over ten days left before leaving, so why create more trouble for herself?
Grandpa Xia remained silent for a long time, then sighed, "Very well, now that you've thought it through, Grandpa has nothing left to hide. Twenty years ago..."
Grandpa Xia's words revealed the truth of everything that happened twenty years ago. At that time, the head of the Bai family was not Bai Chou, but Lu Yan's father. The Bai family held a family banquet to entertain their friends, and Grandpa Xia also attended. However, that night, Lu Yan's mother went mad and killed Lu Yan's father, and even almost killed Lu Yan. In the end, Lu Yan's mother committed suicide in front of them. That night, Bai Chou made a crazy proposal: in order to save the Bai family's reputation, he decided to give everyone present certain benefits, but they could not reveal the truth.
Bai Chou made his move, staging a car accident right in front of all of them.

The child, who was not even five years old, slit the throat of a human trafficker with a knife. Later, I found many children's corpses in the bases of those transnational human traffickers. They traffic human organs and even eat human flesh. They are all a bunch of lunatics. And he lived in that kind of place for at least three years." Old Master Xia took a deep breath, as if trying to dispel the chill in his heart. "In the past ten years, I have not been able to find out where he went after leaving the orphanage. At first, I thought that Bai Chou was hunting down those who knew about it back then, but after Bai Chou was arrested, I learned that Bai Chou only killed a few people at the beginning. He did not kill the dozen or so people who knew about it later."
After Grandpa Xia finished speaking, he could no longer hide his exhaustion. "It was Lu Yan. He was dealing with us one by one according to the list, so I'm not surprised at all that he took action against me."
