Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

"Aww~~"

The landlord's son, whose body was weak from years of emptying containers, could hardly withstand such a big mouth.

His eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.

"Ah! My precious grandson!"

The landlady screamed and immediately squatted down to slap her grandson's cheeks:

"Grandson, are you alright?"

However, her grandson had already been put to sleep by the landlord and couldn't respond to her.

The old woman jumped up from the ground and punched the landlord in the chest with her fist.

"He's your son! How could you be so cruel!"

The old woman wailed:

"Do you want to kill our family's only son?!"

Normally, the landlord would have already gone along with the old mother's words to coax her precious son.

But now, he grabbed the old woman's wrist and pushed her aside.

The landlord was so out of breath that his eyes were red and he stared straight at Bai Li.

"You just said..."

The landlord's voice was hoarse and trembling:

"My mom, that gigolo...we're not related by blood at all. Is that really true?"

"It's not like he said! Absolutely not!"

The old woman scrambled to her feet and clung to the landlord's leg, shaking her head vigorously like a rattle drum.

"Son, you are the flesh and blood of my child, born after ten months of pregnancy! Don't listen to the instigation of outsiders!"

The old woman was really worried; her cerebral blood vessels were throbbing rapidly, and she was about to have a stroke.

Although I don't understand where Bai Li got the surveillance footage from the brothel, at worst, that video would just cause his grandson to lose his job.

The large courtyard house under my son's name is about to be demolished!

Even if her grandson is disappointing, she can still rely on her son and live a happy and comfortable life as a wealthy old lady.

But what if the most secret, most shameful secrets in the family were exposed and revealed to the fullest extent...

The old woman shivered.

That would be the end of it all!

Not to mention that they won't even get a penny of the demolition compensation, their whole family will fall apart and be doomed.

If she doesn't have money, how will she afford to book a large private room at a karaoke bar?

What can you offer to attract those young male models with abs and smooth, delicate skin?

Are you suggesting that this nearly eighty-year-old woman should spend her days collecting waste paper on the streets to save for her funeral?!

Thinking of the miserable days to come, the old woman desperately grabbed the landlord's trouser leg and tried to drag him out.

"Son, come with me! Don't listen to his nonsense! Mom will make you soup and rice!"

Unfortunately, Bai Li's next words shattered all her hopes.

"Of course there's evidence." Bai Li fiddled with his phone.

"Do you want to see it?"

To the old woman and the landlord, Bai Li's smile was more terrifying than the living Yama of the underworld.

The landlord's Adam's apple bobbed:

"I know that if what you're saying is true, my life will be turned upside down, and I'll be in unbearable pain."

Immediately, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared through clenched teeth:

"But I'd rather not live like an idiot, kept in the dark until I die! So..."

"Even if it's an abyss, I'll see it clearly today!"

"No! You can't look!"

The old woman burst into a piercing wail and dragged him toward the door:

"Son, let's go! We'll stop charging rent for this dilapidated house, let's go home now!"

"Get out! I want to see!" The landlord kicked the old woman in the shoulder without any mercy.

The old woman was kicked to the ground, clutching her shoulder and rolling around in pain.

Bai Li lightly tapped the screen, bringing up another high-definition video that the system had just packaged and sent.

Click to play.

The video background is a bedroom in a bungalow, with a calendar hanging on the wall, and the decoration style is that of more than ten years ago.

After just one glance, the landlord's breathing became heavy.

That was his wedding room with his wife back when he was still working hard driving a long-distance truck!

In the scene, an elderly woman, much younger than she is now, is pulling a middle-aged man who looks about 70% like her as they furtively push open the bedroom door.

In the center of the room, on the double bed, lay a young woman fast asleep.

The landlord's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

That middle-aged man was his older brother!

The woman sleeping soundly in the bed was his deceased wife, who had passed away many years ago.

The video shows the two people speaking in hushed tones.

The landlord's brother stared at the woman on the bed, his eyes gleaming with lust. He swallowed several times, then paused, feigning seriousness.

"Mom, this isn't a good idea..."

The old woman curled her lip indifferently:

"What's wrong with it?"

"You're a bachelor who can't even find a wife, doing this will save you money on dowry. As for carrying on the family line..."

The old woman pointed to the young woman on the bed:

"Just sleep with your brother's wife, have her give birth to a big, healthy son, and that'll solve everything!"

The landlord's brother rubbed his hands together, his smile extremely lewd:

"Got it! Anyway, he's out driving a truck, he's not home for ten days or half a month at a time, so he has no time to spend with his sister-in-law."

"It must be so hard to keep watch over this empty house. As his older brother, I'll do my best to take care of it..."

The old woman nodded in satisfaction, and what she said next completely shattered the landlord's four or five decades of understanding.

"not to mention……"

The old woman rolled her eyes, her face full of disdain:

"Your younger brother is an adopted bastard I brought home!"

"They've grown up eating our food, it's time for them to repay us."

"We definitely can't keep his roots; we have to keep the true bloodline of our family!"

In the video, after hearing these words, the landlord's brother dropped his last pretense.

As he unbuckled his belt, he chuckled and pounced on the sleeping woman on the bed.

See here.

"Ya...Ya-mi! Turn it off! Turn it off right now!"

The landlord in real life was furious.

He had already foreseen the hellish scenes that would unfold in the video.

But the phone still rang out, with the landlord's wife's shrill and desperate screams, accompanied by the old woman's indifferent urging and cursing from the side.

"Clatter".

Bai Li pressed his thumb to pause the playback.

Inside the bungalow, you could hear a pin drop.

Li Jiaxin stood to the side, covering her mouth with both hands, feeling a churning in her stomach.

Although she had seen all sorts of rotten people and rotten things, this kind of heinous and bestial behavior was still beyond her comprehension.

The landlord, meanwhile, was kneeling on the ground like a lump of mud.

His eyes were utterly empty, devoid of any life.

His lips trembled incessantly, and he was completely unaware that saliva was dripping from his chin onto the cement floor.

"So that's how it is..."

"Oh, I see..."

He muttered to himself, his voice a hundred times more unpleasant than crying.

Decades of doubts are now being pieced together like puzzle pieces, revealing a bloody and cruel truth.

"No wonder……"

"No wonder my wife went completely crazy when I came back from that long-distance trip..."

"No wonder she wouldn't let me touch her, but then suddenly found out she was pregnant..."

"No wonder she didn't even look at the child after giving birth, and hanged herself in the bathroom that very night..."

He once thought that his wife's depression was caused by his constant driving and neglect of her.

So for decades, he has treated that child as the only bloodline left by his wife, cherishing him like a precious treasure.

To this end, he did all sorts of immoral things and relentlessly exploited his tenants, all in order to accumulate wealth for his only "college student" son.

Although I still couldn't control myself and spent the money on women...

But in the end...

I am a bastard with no blood relation to you.

The college student son she cherished and was so proud of was also a bastard, a male prostitute who sold his body and was played with by old women.

My own life is a complete joke!

After the extreme grief comes a raging fire that can burn away all reason.

The landlord suddenly turned around.

At that moment, the hatred and malice surging in his eyes could not be dispelled even by the sunlight outside.

He stared at the old woman who was paralyzed on the ground, trembling.

The landlord straightened up and let out a hysterical, maniacal laugh:

"Hahahaha! Good! Excellent!"

He gritted his teeth, like a ravenous wolf that had lost its mind, and approached the old woman step by step:

"So it was you, you old hag, who did this!!!"
