Back then, in order to obtain the Bai Corporation, Bai Zhonghui set fire to his younger brother and sister-in-law, killing them both.
Su Zhang Lin, relying on her good looks, worked as a maid in wealthy households and seduced the male heads of these families to obtain extra money.
She had worked for several companies before, but her scandals were exposed, making it impossible for her to continue working there, and she was eventually kicked out.
She tried the same trick on the newly recruited Bai Family, but the head of the Bai Family, Bai Jinghan, became furious as soon as she started flirting with him. He showed no mercy and didn't even try to get rid of her; instead, he called the police.
Su Zhang Lin was furious but dared not retaliate. Just as Bai Jinghan about to call the police, he knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
She cried and begged, saying that her gambling husband owed too much money and was forcing her to do this. She said that if she didn't do it, her gambling husband would beat her son to death.
Su Hui is only slightly younger than Bai Zheming.
Bai Jinghan, out of consideration for the child, felt somewhat reluctant and didn't call the police; she simply chased Su Zhang Lin away.
It was around that time that Bai Zhonghui found Su Zhang Lin.
He instructed Su Zhang Lin to bring Su Hui back to Bai Jinghan's house early the next morning.
Before going, Bai Zhonghui had the mother and son severely beaten, and then bribed Su Zhang Lin's gambling husband to keep quiet.
The next morning, following Bai Zhonghui's instructions, Su Zhang Lin led Su Hui to block Bai Jinghan and his wife from leaving the Bai Family home.
She and Su Hui were covered in injuries, their heads bleeding from the beating. They begged the Bai Family to spare their lives, promising never to do anything foolish again.
Su Hui, in particular, was only about ten years old at the time. Wearing her school uniform and covered in injuries, she cried pitifully and helplessly.
Bai Zheming's parents were soft-hearted, so they kept Su Zhang Lin at home to do chores.
For the next month, Su Zhang Lin behaved himself, only serving the Bai Family their food and drink, and never tried to seduce the head of the family again. Su Hui would occasionally show her face in front of the Bai Family, and each time she appeared, she was covered in injuries, saying that she had been beaten by her gambling father.
The charade lasted for a month, until that day when Bai Zhonghui finally took action.
Bai Zhonghui wanted to burn Bai Jinghan and his wife to death, but Su Zhang Lin knew that once Bai Jinghan and his wife were really dead, she would be immediately discarded by Bai Zhonghui like trash, and perhaps Bai Zhonghui would even kill her to silence her.
In order to find a stable source of income, Su Zhang Lin and her gambling-addicted husband had discussed it in advance.
While at the Bai Family, she took advantage of Bai Zheming's upcoming birthday celebration to have him call Bai Zheming Bai Jinghan his wife to inquire whether Su Hui could also attend the birthday banquet and to find out which hotel the couple was staying at.
At the same time, Su Zhang Lin's gambling addict husband got the exact address and went to Rongcheng overnight.
He waited for Bai Zhonghui to set the house on fire, and after the fire suffocated the people inside, he seized the opportunity to steal them from the scene.
Su Zhang Lin didn't know how Bai Zhonghui handled the scene where there was no body. She only handed her gambling husband a bottle of water laced with paraquat after he stole the person out.
Over the years, she has obtained huge sums of money every year by threatening Bai Zhonghui, and by threatening Bai Zhonghui, she has paved the way for Su Hui in the entertainment industry.
These are statements obtained by the police after interrogation.
Interrogation room.
Su Zhang Lin slammed his fist on the table and began cursing.
"That bitch, if I don't kill her, she'll kill me!"
"She actually recognized that bastard Jiang Mingxi!"
"She had amnesia and didn't remember anything, but when she went to the convenience store to buy something, she saw other people watching a live stream, and when she saw Jiang Mingxi's face in the live stream, she remembered!"
"Bitch! She deserved it. If she hadn't remembered, I might have spared her life, but now that she has, how could I possibly let her live?"
She only has herself to blame!
"And then there's Jiang Mingxi. He came all the way here himself, he's practically begging to die, how can I not do as he wishes?"
"He caused my son to be arrested, shouldn't he die?"
"Isn't he looking for his mother? Let him go look for her in the underworld."
Hahahaha!
How did they lose their memory?
Hahahaha!
"Every day I tell them how horribly Jiang Mingxi was burned in the fire, how pitifully she died, how Bai Zheming was forced into prostitution at a bar, how Bai Zheming's butt was slapped so badly, hahaha, how do you think they've lost their memory?"
Hospital.
Despite emergency treatment, Zheng Muyun remains in the ICU and is still in critical condition.
Outside the ward.
Holding the thin paternity test report, Bai Jinghan, unable to support herself against the wall any longer, slowly squatted down against it.
My hands were trembling uncontrollably.
A paternity test revealed that he is Bai Jinghan, the father of Jiang Mingxi and Bai Zheming.
The things he could remember were scattered, but whenever he tried to recall them, he would hear the childish and desperate cries in his ears.
"Daddy, Xiaoxi is scared! Daddy, save Xiaoxi! There's a huge fire, Daddy!"
Just thinking about it for a moment made his chest ache so badly he could hardly breathe.
How did the two children live during the years he and Muyun were away?
He dared not think about it.
He dared not think about whether the orphanage bullied the children.
He dared not think about whether he had been harmed during the adoption process.
How did Xiaoxi, who was only three years old at the time, escape from the fire, and what happened afterward...?
If he hadn't softened his heart back then, and hadn't kept Su Zhang Lin with him...
Bai Jinghan clutched the report and looked across the street.
In that instant, Bai Zheming, who had been watching him intently, immediately stepped forward, "Dad."
Bai Jinghan's lips trembled.
He... did not recognize his own son.
Tears welled in Bai Zheming's eyes as he gripped Bai Jinghan covered in burn scars. His voice trembled as he said, "Dad, go and rest for a while. We'll stay here with Mom. You can't keep waiting here all the time; your body won't be able to take it."
Zhao Jiayuan chimed in, "Yes, Uncle, now that the whole family is together, your health is the most important thing. Take good care of yourself so your family can be reunited. Xiaoxi and Auntie have already fallen ill; you absolutely mustn't have anything happen to them, or Bai Zheming will go crazy."
Zhao Ke nudged Zhao Jiayuan's arm, "Is that how you give advice?!"
After saying that, he turned to Bai Jinghan and urged, "Uncle, go and rest. You haven't slept for three days. What if you suddenly die?"
Zhao Jiayuan:...
Are you better at persuasion than I am?
Gao Le stepped forward, carrying the box, and said emphatically, "I've never seen such an disobedient adult. Can't you see that Bai Zheming's eyes are turning blue from staying up all night? Are you really going to stay here and guard him?"
"What other purpose do you serve by staying here, besides causing Bai Zheming more worry?"
"Hehe, you probably don't care about your own child at all."
"That's true, after so many years, I guess there's no feeling left."
Bai Jinghan:...
Everyone hurriedly covered Gao Le's mouth.
Bai Jinghan looked at Bai Zheming tremblingly, "I... I'm going to take a nap."
