Chapter 1227: 1227: Elder Brother Turning Evil
“They stomped on it with their shoes and rubbed the powder into the ground.”
Zhan Lichuan didn’t know how else to comfort him.
“Then? Did you kill them?”
Du Yanzheng took a deep breath, “Not immediately. I was carrying you on my back and was worried that you might get injured. I only looked for them and killed them when grandfather saved me. I froze their bodies and turned them into live specimens before sending them back to their parents.”
This was indeed something that only Du Yanzheng would think of.
“You were starving and so you wouldn’t stop crying. I begged for milk powder at every house we passed by, but even if there were some who had money, no one was willing to help us.
“I hid from night to morning and walked from morning till night. We were cold and starving, but you were a good boy the entire time. It was as if you knew that we were in trouble. Even when you were hungry, you would only cry for a bit, and when I gently coaxed you to sleep, you would obediently do as you were told.
“Then, one of the men allowed me into his home. He sold meat for a living. Although he had no milk powder, he had hot soup. Your complexion turned from purple to pink after drinking the soup. I took a bowl of soup as well. He even offered me a job, since he had no cleaners working for him. He said that if I was willing to work for him, I was allowed to stay. He would allow us food and a roof above our heads.
“I was grateful to him and instantly agreed to it, but because of how grateful I was towards him, I became careless. I only stayed there for two days, because by the third night, he drugged me. When I woke up the next day, you were gone.
“He said that he wouldn’t be able to raise you, so he decided to sell you off. He lost all of the money that he got from selling you to gambling. He said that I would have to work for him or he would starve me.”
“What happened after that?”
Zhan Lichuan wanted to know more.
“I fought with him. I had been stronger than others since I was a child. He may be an adult, but he wouldn’t be able to win against me. I fought him and tied him up in the storage so that I could slice his flesh into thin pieces.
“He finally felt scared and told me where he sold you to. I was alone. Once I left to go looking for you, he would be able to run away. So, I decided to just chop him into pieces.”
Zhan Lichuan pursed his lips.
Now he finally knew why he was someone so cruel.
“After killing him, I quickly left to look for you. On my way there, I ran into my grandfather, who was looking for me. With grandfather by my side, we had enough men. I thought that I would be able to find you, but when we found the buyer, he had already sold you to someone else.
“We had been trying to find the buyer the entire time, but all these years, we found nothing. I always knew that you were alive, but I didn’t know that Master Zhan of the Ops Corporates would be the one who bought you.”
Zhan Lichuan explained his part of the story, “Grandfather worked for our mother. When he knew that something bad had happened to her, he searched for us.”
Du Yanzheng glared at Zhan Lichuan, “Why didn’t he come to me? Also, who is our mother?”
“Mother saved grandfather’s life and he had always wanted to repay her for it. When the incident happened, he was trying his best to find us, and after a long time, he found me from one of the child traffickers.
“His rank wasn’t high enough for him to meet you. He only knew that our mother had two sons. He could only find me because he had met me before. It was a shame that we were already separated when he found me back. This was why he could’t find any clues about you from me.”
