Of course, the little conscience he had was quickly extinguished.
Tang Susu could only feel goosebumps, but she couldn’t find the source, so she closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Not long after, around three or four o’clock in the afternoon, Duan Hongyu, who had left for five hours, staggered back with injuries all over his body.
The eleven passes in his hands were all intact, but Cao Huibao and Lao Yao were nowhere to be seen.
“Hongyu, what happened?!” Mr. Tang was the first to see him. He was terrified and bolted toward him.
Duan Hongyu was obviously at his last breath, refusing to fall until he brought the news to them. “It should be Lao Yao’s family… They took them away in order to make the Lao Yao surrender and go with them. They used Huibao and me to threaten him.”
He closed his eyes. “It’s the Shao family from the Jingkai District. Lao Yao told us to ignore him and do what we were supposed to do. He’ll protect Huibao…”
Because everyone had been calling him Lao Yao, they didn’t know that his surname was actually Shao and that he was from Shichang City. Meanwhile, Tang Susu wasn’t that surprised.
Tang Mingqi quickly fed Duan Hongyu a bottle of medium-grade Healing Serum. Just as Duan Hongyu was about to faint, he miraculously felt much more energetic.
Of course, no one cared about that at the moment.
“So it’s the Shao family.” Bai Yanhui yawned as he walked over, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.
“If I remember correctly, it’s a big family in Shichang City. They’re involved in both politics and business. The second brother has a partnership with my father and invested in a few factories in the industrial park. However, my father doesn’t think much of him. He said that his family is a mess. His wife got together with his older brother and even gave birth to a son. She cheated on him for so many years and even raised his son for nothing.”
“And there’s nothing good about the eldest. He slept with his sister-in-law, but no one said anything bad about him. Instead, he tormented that woman. Then, in a fit of anger, that woman went to the television station to expose all the scandals. All kinds of photos and videos were available. It threw the entire Shao family into total upheaval.”
Everyone listened to this bizarre gossip and felt that they must have lived too long to be able to hear something like this.
“I have some recollection of this.” Lu Yunxiang seemed to have woken up. “Then, the Shao family hired a professional body to say that the woman had schizophrenia and was delusional. In the end, they sent her to a mental hospital and did some PR work to suppress the news.”
“At that time, I also thought it was a mental illness. The woman’s mental state was a mess, and Mr. Shao was always quite cordial. I always felt that he wouldn’t do that kind of thing. Moreover, the official news released a lot of his political achievements later, so everyone had no doubt that it was all made up by that woman.”
Bai Yanhui found it funny. “You probably didn’t know that woman died very soon afterward, did you? It’s said that she had a lot of information on Shao the elder, so the Shao family was going to drive her crazy from the very beginning and force her to a dead end. In that case, no matter what she says, it won’t be credible!”
If that was the case, the entire thing was definitely sinister enough to make one’s hair stand on end.
“Lao Yao… Could it be that he’s the child of Shao the elder and that woman?” Tang Mingchu suddenly asked.
The crowd fell silent.
“It can’t be, right?” He Qiang revealed a look of pity.
“You’re right. That’s him. His name is Shao Xingyu, 24 years old. A reporter. Before he was 6 years old, he was the eldest son of the second branch of the Shao family. He became a bastard that everyone despised overnight. He was beaten up by his father in name and abused by his biological mother. To be honest, his mother had always cared for him gravely. It was just that she had mental problems and couldn’t control herself.”
“Later on, he experienced a series of experiences such as his mother going crazy, being accused by everyone, and dying in a mental hospital. The entire Shao family even used him as a scapegoat and abused him at every turn. Even his grandparents ignored all of this. His biological father naturally didn’t even look at him and never acknowledged him. His maternal grandparents also refused to take him away because they were afraid of offending the Shao family…”
Hearing this, everyone’s faces were filled with mixed feelings.
“Shao Haicheng’s wife, eldest son, and second daughter were the ones who were most hostile to him. They once tried everything they could to make him disappear. After escaping death a few times, he completely fled the Shao family and went to An’nan City to attend university.”
Sang walked over with a watch-like item and read the information in a formal manner. Everyone felt an indescribable sense of gloom when they heard his reports.
“I can’t tell that Lao Yao has encountered so much misfortune. If it was me, I probably wouldn’t want to live anymore.” Lu Yunxiang found it hard to imagine. Just imagining those things happening to her was enough to make her go crazy..
