In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

Ah!

Si Tianyu looked at the pile of junk that Bern had taken out and sneered disdainfully. He instinctively reached for the luxury watch on his wrist and the big gold ring on his finger, but found nothing. Only then did he realize that all his things had been taken away.

But his contemptuous gaze remained unchanged; he was no longer that poor boy from the old neighborhood or that street thug.

"elder brother!"

Bernie spoke with a sob in her voice, "I know you don't like these things, you don't like the days we lived together, but Mom and Dad and I have kept them all this time."

"Do you remember?"

"This doll was bought for me by you with your allowance. I've always kept it by my bedside, as if you've never left. The razor and skincare products were bought for Mom and Dad after you started working; they loved them back then."

Bern's eyes revealed memories and longing for the past, "But your parents beat you up the next day. They knew you were hanging out with the gangsters."

"I'll lock you up at home for three days."

"After you escaped through the window, you came back less and less."

"Then, you stopped wanting us."

"You became very rich, a famous boss in the shopping district, but your parents were so scared. They went to look for you again and again, but you never came back."

"You never came back after I graduated from elementary school and junior high school."

"But one day, more people came to our house. They were very violent. They beat up my parents at home and even came to my school. My parents were hospitalized several times, and I almost got expelled from school."

"Later I found out that you were arrested and sentenced, and that the people you had harmed came to take revenge."

"I'm so afraid to go home."

"There was always red paint, rotten eggs, and rotten leaves in front of my house. All the neighbors and classmates who knew about my family avoided me like the plague."

"Your parents told you you died, but you deserved it."

"Bo Jiguang!"

"I hate you so much! But I miss you so much!"

Bern's small face was wet with tears. "From now on, I will never have a brother again."

"Your parents didn't even dare to erect your tombstone in the cemetery; they could only enshrine it at home."

"I always wish you could come back, so our family could be together again like before."

"I want to tell you that I don't blame you anymore, and neither do Mom and Dad. You are the son they raised, and also the brother who watched me grow up and loved me dearly."

"Dad always wanted to build you a proper tomb. He took Mom to visit each family, kowtowing to the families of the victims who were murdered to atone for their sins. They said without any dignity that they had failed to raise their children properly. Dad and Mom's salaries were not high to begin with, and in recent years they have gotten older and the social environment has been bad. The money they receive is pitifully little. Every month when they get their salary, they only keep a little for living expenses and give the rest to the victims."

"Little by little!"

"For three whole years and thirty-six months, they ate only porridge with pickled vegetables every day, their backs bent over and over again, their hair turned white and white, and their knees were scraped and bruised again and again."

"They also promised to transfer their only house to me as compensation after I graduate from university."

"Your tombstone has finally been erected."

"Ke Bojiguang!"

Bernie seemed to be releasing all the emotions he had been holding back for three years—no, more than a decade—without his previous timidity and hesitation. Like an angry young lion, he roared at Si Tianyu, "You're alive again! A person who has been dead for three years is alive again!"

"You're not dead at all!"

"You lived a life of extravagance and debauchery abroad, and then returned to Jiangdong a year ago and lived even more extravagantly! You haven't come back to see your parents who raised you for eighteen years, nor have you seen your sister!"

How could you be so heartless!

"Did you know? Yesterday, the second season of the show aired, and your faked death was exposed. All the people of Jiangdong and Handong know that you are alive. Many, many more people than before rushed into my house."

"If the police hadn't intervened, my parents would have been beaten to death."

"All of this!"

"You brought all of this, Bo Jiguang!"

Bernie's fingertips gripped the table so tightly that his nails split and bled. "I wish Mom and Dad had never adopted a scumbag like you! I don't want a brother like you!"

"Otherwise, my parents wouldn't have been so upset that they ended up in the ICU and are still unconscious. In the twelve hours since last night, the hospital has issued three critical condition notices."

"Two portions every time!"

"I'm going to have no family left! Bo Jiguang, you wicked devil!"

Bernie grabbed the doll and threw it with all her might, but it was stopped by the fence. She tried to throw it again, but the detective held her down firmly.

"I don't want to come see a menace like you!"

Bernie gritted his teeth, biting his mouth until it bled, blood trickling down his chin. "But Mom's last words before she fainted were, 'Let me come see you.'"

"That's why I came!"

"I want to see you suffer a fate worse than death! I want to see you go to hell!"

"hehe!"

Bernie laughed hysterically, "By the way, you won't even have a chance to go to hell. You've killed so many people, their vengeful spirits must be watching you, and they'll tear you to pieces."

The defense lawyers were completely numb.

Didn't we agree to break through by relying on family ties and cooperating with the provincial department? How come the girl started going crazy while we were talking?

Did you conduct any psychological evaluation before sending this person in?

Despite his complaints, the lawyer quickly signaled to the detective beside him to end the family visit early. If they stayed any longer, one of the siblings would inevitably get into trouble.

Si Tianyu seemed stunned by the scolding; his contemptuous expression froze on his face, remaining unchanged for a long time.

Bang bang bang!

As the three were about to leave the waiting room, they heard a series of muffled thuds coming from inside. Turning around, they saw Si Tianyu banging his head against the fence, but the iron fence was covered with thick foam, so there was only noise but no damage.

"I didn't want this! I didn't want this to happen!"

Si Tianyu roared, "Grandpa told me that you have to be ruthless to keep your power and wealth. I was so scared when I killed someone for the first time. I wanted to go home, but I couldn't. I had to do more evil to quell my old fears."

"I've done things that're getting bigger and bigger, I can't go back! I can't go back! I can only rot and die in this stinking mud!"

"It's not that I don't want to take care of my parents!"

"I thought not going back and not contacting you was the best approach; you'll always be clean."

"Otherwise, Grandpa will definitely take action."

"He's the most ruthless person. He kills without blinking an eye. He will definitely kill you all."

"Hehehe!"

"Now he's coming to kill me! He's coming to kill me, hahahaha!"

Han Shiwei, who was standing at the door, suddenly brightened up. A breakthrough had indeed appeared. He signaled to take the outsiders away and then summoned two elite criminal police officers from the provincial department to enter together.
