In the video.
My dad actually knelt before Du Ruhai.
Watching it filled me with hatred, frustration, and fury, but also sorrow.
"Please don't do this to me. Our family finally found some peace, and we've lived quietly all these years."
My dad's eyes reddened. He was on the verge of kowtowing to Du Ruhai. "You have everything you could want now. Whoever you want dead, you have plenty of people to do it for you. Why do you have to come to me? If I hadn't needed to save my son back then, I would never have wanted to hurt anyone. I never wanted to!"
"But you did. I told you, you can't erase what you've done." Du Ruhai sighed. "Now your son wants to investigate me, fight me to the bitter end, and oppose me at every turn. I have no choice but to drag his dad back into this."
"Brother Wen, just help me kill this person, and I'll give you enough money for your whole family to go far away. We'll never see each other again. No one will ever know what happened fifteen years ago, not even by the time I die."
"But if you refuse, I'll have to tell your son everything. If he comes after me, he's coming after you. If he finds out his own father did so many things back then..."
"Enough! Stop talking!" My dad took off his glasses, tears blurring his eyes. "I'll do it. I'll do it, all right? Just don't tell Chen Mo!"
"Ha ha, good!" A photograph was suddenly tossed into view.
We couldn't see who was in the photograph, but we didn't need to guess to know who it was.
"This is a girl. Why do you want to kill her?" My dad's eyes widened.
