445 Abandonment

The man revealed a conflicted expression. He asked Nighthawk seriously, “Brother, how is he doing? You know that I abandoned the mother and son irresponsibly. He must hate me. Anyway, I’ve saved some money. It’s definitely not a problem to retire. If he’s not capable and unwilling to support me, I might as well not acknowledge him.”

Nighthawk smiled. “I didn’t expect you to have such a romantic debt. Ninth Brother, in my opinion, it’s better for you to acknowledge him.”

“Why?”

“I heard that he’s the head of the Huo family in the capital. If you acknowledge him, we might need to use him in the future.”

Falcon shrugged. “Then we’ll listen to Big Brother. But Big Brother, we can use him, but we can’t drag him down. He’s my son after all.”

Nighthawk said, “Don’t worry, I’m still preparing to keep him alive for a long time. Go and prepare. Acknowledge him in the next few days.”

“So soon?”

“You know that the police have been chasing us closely recently. There’s a traitor among us, so we’ll stop for a while after this business is out. We have to clean up.”

The man said, “Haven’t we already found the traitor? Isn’t it just Lone Wolf? He’s from the Xiao family, a specialized drug dealer. After we get rid of him, we’ll be at peace.”

“Sigh, that kid is very cunning. I wonder where he’s hiding?”

“Didn’t they say that Rosa gave him…”

Nighthawk shook his head. “Rosa said she was counter-attacked.”

Falcon looked sloppy. “Did she deliberately let him go, or was she attacked? That little girl might like Lone Wolf very much.”

The pupils under Nighthawk’s eyes dilated. “I raised Rosa. She would never betray me.”

“Aiya, Big Brother, I know Rosa won’t betray you. I’m just afraid that when she reaches this age, her heart will flutter and she will fall for a handsome man like Xiao Ming.”

Nighthawk nodded. “Although she’s moved, she will never do anything wrong.”

“That might not be the case.”

Night Eagle glanced at the man with a sharp gaze. “Do you think there’s anyone above the Lone Wolf?”

The man said, “That’s hard to say. Although Lone Wolf is young, he’s skilled, bold, cunning, and tricky. He can completely take on a heavy responsibility. I think this is why the police asked him to be an informant.”

He changed the topic. “But if he’s a spy, how did he get in back then? Someone among us has to recruit him.”

“Who do you think this person should be?” Nighthawk studied the man’s face.

The man thought for a moment and said, “Lone Wolf is already our second-in-command. He can only be recruited by the person above him. Only then can he be our sworn brother. That’s impossible.”

“Ninth Brother, investigate this matter.”

“Yes.”

A few days later, Qiao An deliberately visited Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu was very cold upon her arrival. After opening the door for her, she only glanced at Qiao An bitterly before turning to enter the house.

Qiao An followed her awkwardly.

It was not until they sat on the sofa that Qiao An took the initiative to break the silence. “Aunt Lu, I’m here today for Qianyu.”

Mrs. Lu said coldly, “Qiao An, you really know how to behave. You said in front of us that you could forgive Qianyu for kidnapping you, but behind her back, you framed her for selling drugs. Your actions are really hypocritical and despicable.”

Qiao An was very angry with Mrs. Lu’s incomprehension. “Auntie, if she kidnapped me because she was poor, I can indeed forgive her on account that there were no casualties. This forgiveness is not out of magnanimity toward her, but because I want to repay Sister Qianqian for saving my life.”

“But Lu Qianyu is a drug dealer and a terrorist who smuggles firearms. That’s another matter. After all, Sister Qianqian sacrificed her life to investigate this case. I won’t go against her.”

Mrs. Lu said agitatedly, “Qianyu can’t have done those…”

Qiao An looked at her steadily. “Just like it’s impossible for you to abandon your child?”

Mrs. Lu immediately froze and looked at Qiao An blankly.

Qiao An said, “Auntie, you know it’s inappropriate to use our subjective judgment to determine if someone is guilty, right?”

Mrs. Lu’s tone suddenly weakened. “Why are you here today?”

Qiao An said, “Then I’ll be frank. Auntie, the reason why Rosa did so many wrong things is because of you.”

Mrs. Lu was furious. “How is this related to me? I didn’t raise her.”

Qiao An said, “Because you abandoned her. Because you didn’t love her, it made her hate the world. As much as she hated it, she wanted to destroy it.”

Mrs. Lu trembled and her face became ashen.

At this moment, Mr. Lu heard their conversation and ran out excitedly. “Qiao An, what did you just say? Did you say that my Qianyu was abandoned by her mother? She clearly got lost herself?”

He looked at Mrs. Lu in confusion. Mrs. Lu turned her head away, not daring to look at him.

Qiao An said, “Rosa insisted that her mother abandoned her. She said that she was eight years old and had memories. It was her mother who handed her over to the human traffickers and took a sum of money from them.”

“I didn’t take any money,” Mrs. Lu shouted self-righteously.

Qiao An looked at her silently.

Mr. Lu looked at her in disbelief and suddenly raised his hand to slap her. “So, you really sold her? How can you be so heartless?”

Mrs. Lu covered her face and roared, “I didn’t sell her. I just sent her away.”

“She’s our flesh and blood? How could you do that?”

“I didn’t want this to happen either, but your mother insisted on having a son to take over the family legacy. I didn’t give birth to a son, so she treated me differently. I lived under her insults every day. I really couldn’t stand it.”

Mr. Lu was furious. “You’re all crazy. How can you bear to lose our own flesh and blood? No, you sold her…”

The more Mr. Lu spoke, the more upset he became. He thought of how his happy family had been shrouded in gloom because of Qianyu’s disappearance.

He went looking for Qianyu every day. Qianqian even became a police officer to find her sister and lost her life.

He felt that all the tragedies in the Lu family began with Qianyu’s disappearance. In the past, he thought that this tragedy was an unexpected occurrence, but he did not expect it to be caused by the ignorance of the person beside him.

He broke down and roared at Mrs. Lu, “This family ended up in ruins because of you. You killed Qianqian and caused Qianyu to walk on a path of no return. You’re really great as a mother. You ate my family up.”

“I can’t forgive you. I’m going to sue you for abandoning your child.”
