In the prison’s reception room, the iron door was pulled open with a click. Yi Kun was handcuffed and pressed onto a wooden chair by the police.

“Thank you for your trouble. I’ll leave after a few words with my father.” Yi Che thanked the police politely. When the iron door was closed from the outside, he turned to look at the haggard man opposite him.

In just a day after being locked up, Yi Kun seemed to have aged ten years.

His hair, which had always been meticulously styled in the past, was now in a mess. The black and hard stubble on his jaw made him look especially sloppy.

Yi Che looked at the change in his appearance coldly and felt relieved.

“If there’s anything you want to see me about, just say it.”

Yi Kun’s expression was almost ferocious. He lowered his voice and said fiercely, “The traitor beside me is you? Why did you betray me? I’m your biological father!”

“Yes, but you’re also a beast.” Yi Che crossed his legs casually, his long and narrow eyes narrowed into slits. Anyone who saw him would think that he was very easy-going and gentle.

However, this was the fuse to ignite Yi Kun’s anger.

He slammed the table angrily, wishing he could pounce on the unfilial son in front of him and strangle him to death. “What good will it do you to take me down? Do you think Yi Zheng will treat you well just because you use me as a pledge?”

Yi Che gritted his teeth and tore apart the fig leaf that looked like a loving father and filial son. “It has nothing to do with others. You brought this on yourself.”

“What are you talking about?” Yi Kun frowned tightly, and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes. “I’m your biological father. Is this how you treat me?”

“Then tell me how my mother died!”

Yi Che widened his eyes and looked at his ferocious father in front of him. In a daze, his recollection returned to that rainy night in the past.

At that time, Yi Che was still underage. He was the only one guarding the house alone. It was raining heavily outside. He hid in his mother’s room in fear and hid under the blanket, not daring to come out.

The cruel sound of thunder resounded through the clouds, and lightning illuminated a corner of the room through the window.

Yi Che blinked in confusion. With the help of the faint light outside, he could vaguely see a thick diary on his mother’s desk.

For some reason, he jumped out of bed curiously and jogged to the desk to open the first page of the book.

Another clap of thunder exploded in his ears, but Yi Che could no longer hear anything. His pupils trembled as he stared at the letter paper in the notebook.

“Xiaoche, I’m afraid 1 won’t be able to survive after knowing your father’s secret, but you have to live well and stay by his side. Find evidence of his crimes and hand it to your Brother Yi Zheng. If I really leave, you have to protect yourself. I believe you’re a strong child. I’ll always love you.”

He stared at the letter that his mother had not been able to give him for a long time and could not come back to his senses. The heat in his hands and feet was sucked away in an instant. When he came back to his senses, there were strong footsteps outside the room.

He hurriedly picked up the letter and flushed it into the toilet. The door of the room was pushed open from the outside.

Yi Kun’s face was cold as he circled the room expressionlessly. Finally, his cold gaze landed on the pale Yi Che. “What are you doing here?”

Yi Che opened his mouth and thought of the contents of the letter just now. He was so afraid that his entire body trembled. “Where’s Mom? Why didn’t she come back with you? It’s my birthday today.”

Yi Kun stared at his face for a long time before sighing. He squatted down and pulled him into his arms. “Xiaoche, I’m sorry. The hospital called me just now and said that your mother had an accident on the way back.”

“Mom, what happened to Mom?” Yi Che’s eyes widened with a pale face. His fingers tightened around his clothes, and his violently beating heart made his vision darken.

Yi Kun rubbed his head guiltily and coaxed softly, “Mommy went to a very distant place, but she will continue to protect you. Xiaoche is a man and will definitely be strong and obedient, right?”

“I want to see Mommy.” A tear fell from the corner of his eye. Yi Che bit his lower lip tightly to prevent himself from crying.

His blurry vision seemed to soften the hatred in his eyes. Yi Kun did not see anything from it. Instead, he hugged him with a pained expression. “Alright, Daddy promises you that I’ll bring you to see Mommy tomorrow, okay?”

Yi Che could no longer remember how he walked out of the hospital’s morgue. He only knew that his heart had been cold ever since.

He glared at Yi Kun with red eyes. After enduring the vigilance and suppression of his so-called father for so many years, he could finally avenge his mother.

Yi Kun smiled bitterly, his eyes filled with mockery. “So you knew long ago. I was too soft-hearted back then and didn’t strangle you to death!”

“You’re not human!” Yi Che glared at him fiercely and grabbed his collar angrily.. “You actually took Mom’s life to cover up your drug dealing! She’s your wife!”
