Qin Lun vaguely remembered that he once had this copper key. It was a piece of copper that he had picked up from the rubbish. He could not tell what it was from its dirty appearance.

Qin Lun used the little free time he usually had to polish this piece of copper until it had the embryonic form of a key. Then, he used the wire he picked up to rub out the locking teeth bit by bit.

His goal was very simple. He wanted to use this copper key to unlock the iron lock that tied his sister’s neck. However, he was very careful and never dared to let his adoptive parents, the Fosters, discover his secret.

The Kieran siblings’ biological parents were killed in a car accident, and they were adopted by the Fosters.

The Fosters were a pair of European and American immigrants. When they first adopted the siblings, Qin Lun, who had outstanding intelligence, was keenly aware of their ulterior motives. However, the reason he did not reject the Fosters at that time was because he thought that the two of them were only coveting orphans’ benefits from the Welfare Department. He did not expect that the two of them were not good people at all.

After Qin Lun and his sister were adopted, they had indeed lived a carefree life in the early days. However, the Fosters finally showed their true colors when the staff of the Child Welfare Agency gave up on further observation.

The nightmares of Qin Lun and the other siblings began. The two siblings were abused one after another. In order to control them, the two couples usually only allowed one of them to be free, while the other was tied up in the basement like a dog.

If that was the case, Qin Lun might continue to endure the humiliation and secretly live, and wait for his younger sister to grow up before thinking of a way to escape. But one night, after eavesdropping on the Foster couple’s bedside conversation, the idea died down.

The couple didn’t talk much that night, but with Qin Lun’s IQ, he could guess a lot of things.

The Fosters were actually professional liars. They had used their fake identities to adopt orphans more than once.

They wandered around China, and every time they adopted an orphan pair, they would stay quietly for a period of time. When welfare agencies give up tracking, they kill the orphans and leave under the pretext of job transfers.

The process can take months and a year or two. Unlike traffickers who sell children, orphans adopted by the Fosters are brutally murdered in the end. Because of their concealment, the police and child welfare agencies didn’t notice anything until they adopted Qin Lun and his siblings.

No one knows the real reason why the Fosters did it.

Qin Lun didn’t get some speculation from a certain psychology expert until he was sent to prison. This was also the reason why Qin Lun started studying psychology.

The psychologist had carefully analyzed the Foster couple’s behavior patterns to unlock his mental defenses, and had come up with some speculations.

The expert believes that the couple, alias Foster, may have been orphans as well and have suffered severe psychological trauma in their childhood. This kind of trauma may have been bullied by other orphans, and as an adult, they have always hated orphanhood.

Every time they adopted an orphan, they imagined their childhood companions bullying them and venting their grievances on the orphans in revenge for the welfare institutions and orphanages that failed to save them.

This goal was indeed achieved after the Fosters’ death.

Almost all of the child welfare agencies and orphanages that handed the orphans over to the Fosters have been sprayed to pieces by local media as more aliases and crimes have been exposed by the Fosters.

After hearing the Foster couple’s conversation that night, Qin Lun knew that he didn’t have much time left for his siblings, because it had been a long time since the investigators from the local child welfare agency had come to visit him.

Qin Lun began to grind the copper all night long. The slender wire and the sharp teeth of the key broke his palm again and again. The youth’s blood slowly seeped into the bronze key, leaving behind many tiny stains that looked like rust spots.

These stains were exactly the same as the “rust spots” on the copper key in Harry’s hand. This blonde youth had the same experience as Qin Lun.

Although Harry’s key was not to save his sister, but to free the slaves of the manor, the actual effect was the same.

Qin Lun and his sister lived in an era when he only needed to escape from the Fosters’ house and find the police station to be rescued. However, the Harry siblings were different. They lived in a different era and region. Just fleeing was not enough.

Hundreds of years ago, the United States was still a large colony. There were no social welfare institutions that upheld justice for orphans and siblings. Moreover, Wilson Manor was rich and powerful. If they didn’t destroy it first, the Harry siblings wouldn’t be able to escape.

“Big brother, I’m late!” Elaine touched the bronze key and tears rolled down her face. She buried her head in Harry’s chest and her shoulders trembled slightly.

“It’s not too late. It’s good that you can return safely from London!” Harry patted Elaine’s back in relief, but Qin Lun felt something strange in the depths of his body. He had a feeling that the little girl’s words in Harry’s arms seemed to mean something else.

Just as Qin Lun was thinking about that sentence, a fierce quarrel came from outside the living room. The two siblings who were hugging each other seemed to have been electrocuted. Harry looked at the door with panic on his face.

“I said I have nothing to do with Diana!” The door of the living room was suddenly pushed open, and a low male voice suppressed his anger came from outside.

“Haha, do you expect me to believe you? Thomas!” Another sharp female voice came from behind the man.

“Hmph, so what? Don’t think that I don’t know you’re in London” A mocking sneer sounded out from the man’s mouth, but it immediately stopped because he had already seen the Harry siblings in the living room.

Following Harry’s gaze, Qin Lun saw the long-known Wilson couple.

Thomas Wilson was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall and burly, with a trimmed beard, and a dignified appearance as a middle-aged gentleman.

Keira Wilson was a fat, middle-aged woman with a fur collar on her hand, a face full of flesh, small eyes, and a sarcoma on her nose.

Not only did it look ugly, but it also lacked the temperament of a noble woman. If she peeled off that expensive dress and changed it into linen, she would look more like an ugly village woman who set up a stall at the entrance of a vegetable market.

Although Qin Lun had never seen Diana before, since the charming Susan was very similar to her, he could imagine what Sir Wilson would do.

No wonder Sir Wilson had been married to her for so many years and had no real descendants. It was hard for Qin Lun to imagine what kind of mood Thomas Wilson had to endure before he could lie to her in bed.

This also showed how embarrassed Wilson was to marry this businesswoman’s daughter.

“Get out of here!” The two couples who saw Harry and Sister looked cold and indifferent. They didn’t feel embarrassed at all when their children hit them. It was as if the two of them were just a pair of pets in their eyes.

“Yes, father!” Harry obediently lowered his head and pulled his sister out of the door.

“Pa!” The two children had just walked to Wilson’s side when they saw the middle-aged man sneer and slap Harry to the ground without warning.

Qin Lun’s vision swirled with Harry, and he was furious in his heart. He even felt that this slap had hit him in the face.

“Big brother!” Elaine cried and pounced on Harry, leaning her head against the boy’s shoulder. In this angle that no one could see, Elaine had no tears on her face, but her expression was gloomy as if she was about to drip.

Like Qin Lun, Qin Mei seemed to have opened the darkest corner of her heart and couldn’t help but substitute herself for Elaine Wilson.

“Next time I see you with your sister without permission, I’ll break your legs!” Thomas Wilson’s cold words caused both siblings to stiffen.

“Eh, what is this thing?” Keira Wilson’s tone was calmer than before. She wasn’t angry about Harry being beaten at all. She picked up a copper key from the ground and asked the man with a frown, “You gave him the key?”

“Huh? Let me see!” Looking at Harry’s snow-white face, the middle-aged gentleman raised his eyebrows and took the bronze key from his wife. “I didn’t give it to him. I don’t know where this little bastard stole it from. Looks like he wants to ask Parker.”

The man walked to the corner of the living room and pulled a thick rope behind the curtain.

Hearing the summoning bell, Old Parker quickly arrived and took the bronze key from the man to examine it carefully. At this time, the Harry siblings had already shrunk into a ball of fear, their entire bodies trembling as they looked at the three people in front of them.

“This is” Old Parker’s expression suddenly changed. He took off a bunch of keys from his waist and compared them, his expression becoming uglier and uglier.

“Master, this seems to be the key to the manor’s barn!” After a while, Butler Parker finally wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said hesitantly.

“A barn? Which barn?” The middle-aged gentleman’s expression also changed as he glared fiercely at Old butler.

“Yes … it’s the barn where the slaves were held!” Old Parker’s head was getting lower and lower. He clearly knew that this was a terrible mistake.

“Pa!” Thomas Wilson slapped Old butler in the face, causing him to stagger. Five earthworm-like red marks quickly bulged on the old man’s face.

“You old trash, this little bastard duplicated such a key, yet you still don’t know!” The cold light in the man’s eyes almost materialized as he roared, “Go, call the manor’s supervisory team. It’s time to clean up that group of niggers again!”

“Yes, Master!” Old Parker almost crawled out of the living room.

“Haha, it looks like you’ve been knocked unconscious by that little bitch Diana. You don’t even know that the manor’s black slaves are about to explode!” Fatty Keira covered her mouth and laughed until her flesh blossomed. She looked at the shrinking Harry siblings and revealed a cold smile.

“However, I didn’t expect my good son to have this ability. He is much stronger than his’brothers’ from before!”
