Chapter 3

Hope (2)

Oh? Theres someone here!

In the alley, a person walked out casually and met Lin Yan.

This person looked fierce and was half a head taller than Lin Yan. Lin Yan quickly avoided him.

That person didnt mind.

However, just as the two of them were about to brush past each other.

Eh?

That persons bell-like eyes looked at Lin Xiaozhi, who was in Lin Yans arms.

Lin Yans heart tightened. He protected Lin Xiaozhi and entered the alley.

He could feel a burning gaze on his back. It was only when he opened the door and closed the wooden bolt that the gaze disappeared.

Brother, that person kept staring at me just now!

Lin Xiaozhi suddenly whispered.

Lin Yans heart skipped a beat, but he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and comforted her. Dont be afraid. The door is closed. No one can come in.

He put Xiaozhi down and let her go to rest. He began to start a fire and cook, but he kept thinking about the look in that persons eyes just now and felt uneasy.

Was that person a human trafficker?

Could his broken door stop those crazy human traffickers?

His eyelids drooped, and the work in his hands became more urgent.

Xiaozhi, come and eat. Ill wash your face first.

Xiaozhi replied with an oh and hopped over with small steps. She closed her eyes and raised her head.

Lin Yan dipped the towel in water and wiped her carefully. As the mud faded, a fair and delicate face appeared.

She had jade-like skin, large eyes that were filled with spiritual energy, and a delicate nose and mouth. She was as exquisite as a porcelain doll.

Her eyes and eyebrows were vaguely similar to Lin Yans. It was obvious that they were siblings, but one grew in the sky and the other in the human world.

He wondered how beautiful a woman could cause his father Lin Mos ordinary genes to undergo such a huge mutation.

Yes, Xiaozhis mother was not Lin Yans mother. Although they were biological siblings, they had different mothers.

The room was very small and there was no empty s.p.a.ce for the dining table. The food was placed directly on the stove.

Lin Yan moved a bar stool over and carried Xiaozhi to sit by the stove.

The rough rice was paired with pickled vegetables and tofu. There was a small bowl of white rice. Xiaozhi ate it with relish, but Lin Yans heart ached.

As he ate, he took out a letter from a small drawer beside the stove and pulled out the letter.

This was his fathers will.

In this life, he was born into a commoner family. His mother died when he was seven years old, leaving him and his father, Lin Mo, to rely on each other.

Four years ago, when he was thirteen, he fell seriously ill.

In order to raise the medical fees, his father, Lin Mo, had no choice but to partic.i.p.ate in the Dingdeng Battle back then in exchange for the family expenses.

Later on, Lin Yans illness was cured, but his father disappeared on the battlefield and was never heard from again.

Three months ago, a group of bodyguards came to deliver Lin Xiaozhi and a note. Not only did it stimulate him to awaken the memories of his previous life, but it also let him know that his father did not die back then. Moreover, he had extraordinary encounters and had given birth to another daughter!

Opening the letter, Lin Yan browsed through it again.

Lin Yan, my son, I hope that you will see me when you read these words.

By the time you see this, I should be dead. For the past four years, there was not a moment when I didnt want to go home to see you. Unfortunately, unfortunately

Lin Xiaozhi is your half-sister. Although I dont like her, I cant bear to see her die innocently. I had no choice but to send her back quietly. You wont blame me, right?

Remember, dont try to find me. Dont investigate anything about me.

I only want you to live a peaceful life. If anything happens to you, I wont die in peace!

I cant accompany you anymore. I just wish I could see you one last time. My son, take care, take care

His words were sincere.

Lin Yan had read this letter many times. The handwriting in the letter was very fast. It was obvious that he had written it in a hurry.

Lin Yan couldnt be sure if this letter was written by his father, because four years ago, his father, Lin Mo, was still an illiterate gangster.

However, the similarity between Lin Xiaozhis eyes and his could not be faked.

What had his father experienced?

With Lin Yans understanding of Lin Mo, it was impossible for him to say that he didnt like his biological daughter, unless this daughter wasnt what he wanted to give birth to.

Why did his father tell him not to investigate? What kind of danger was involved?

Dad, dad, youve really left me with a huge problem

After dinner, Lin Xiaozhi yawned repeatedly. Lin Yan wiped her face and coaxed her to sleep before coming out of the room.

This room was left behind by his father, Lin Mo. There were only two rooms. One was the kitchen for cooking, and the other was the sleeping room. The two beds, one big and one small, were next to each other and were extremely narrow.

Recalling the kidnapping at the Tiger Camp today and the evil man he met at the entrance of the alley, Lin Yan could not help but feel a strong sense of urgency.

He stood on the stove and brought down a wooden box from the black smoke vent.

The wooden box was filled with rotten wood. Seven or eight mushrooms with red umbrellas and white poles were growing freely among the broken wood.

Seeing that the mushroom was growing well and looking healthy, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

Poisons in this world were controlled products. Ordinary people had nowhere to buy them.

These were red umbrella mushrooms that he had bought from a mountain villager. In order to prevent Xiaozhi from accidentally touching or eating these poisonous mushrooms, he could only place the wooden box at the smoke vent to cultivate them, creating a warm and damp environment.

He reached out and pinched off a mushroom. It was bright red and looked delicious.

He reached out to touch the soil on the mushroom and laughed self-deprecatingly. Red Umbrella, white pole. After eating it, youll be lying on a slab. This is a highly poisonous thing

Gritting his teeth, he stuffed the finger-long poisonous mushroom into his mouth and chewed and swallowed it.
