Chapter 1

This novel is angst galore kekekeke lots of abuse muwahahahaha

Being the protagonist’s father for the first time (1) [Revised] In a temporary shelter, a group of crying frightened young children crowded in a corner.

The room wasn’t small, it could even be said to be spacious and cozy. But they were much too frightened, just like quails huddled together into a ball after being frightened, and the more crowded they were, the more they could still feel alive.

They were all abducted children who have been rescued and brought here over the last few days and, it is said that their families were already contacted to pick them up.

But what kind of person would pick them up? Do their parents still remember them? What kind of life will they live when they get back?

These questions were too profound for these children who have suffered more than enough from their adoptive parents, mentally or physically. Especially several girls who were raised as child brides have been shaking uncontrollably.

“Actually, this is still lucky. If it wasn’t for the Yu family’s Si Yang insistence on digging three feet to find his younger brother, and even establish a nationwide search party that could contact the whole country, I’m afraid we would have never found and got those kids back.”

“That’s right! I do admire him. He really saved a lot of people this time.”

“His younger brother is the most blessed. After all, he has such a good big brother.”

Outside the door, several police officers were whispering about details related to the case, while inside the door, a teenager pricked hi ears listening to their conversation.

This was Yu Zheng, the younger brother they had been talking about, whom Si Yang dug up three feet to look for. In contrast with the other’s fear, not only was he unafraid, but he also greedily listened to the police’s conversation about Si Yang holding an old photo in his hand.

The photo was given to him by the policeman who rescued him, saying that it was his family.

A very happy family of four, with a calm father, a graceful mother, and a slightly older boy with a very handsome face.

The older boy was said to be Yu Zheng’s adopted brother, named was Si Yang.

“Your older brother is very awesome, even the was mayor alarmed by this big crime investigation, they will come together to pick you up.” This was what the police said to him when Yu Zheng was rescued. That’s why Yu Zheng had continuously been very looking forward to meeting Si Yang ever since he was rescued. It was because he knew that he had an adoptive brother who valued him very, very much.

“Si Yang-ge…” staring at Si Yang’s picture, Yu Zheng tried to call out with a small voice.

The first time was still unfamiliar, the second and the third time became smoother. He then couldn’t help himself from laughing.

When the girl next to him saw him, she was immediately stunned for a moment. Yu Zheng had an extremely beautiful pair of eyes, and when he was smiling, it looked like it was hiding fragments of starlight.

The girl unconsciously curled her lips after him, and her originally pale face caused by fear, had now turned rosy.

At that moment, the door was suddenly opened as the mayor and a man came in. The man was dressed in a neatly pressed fitted steel-gray suit. His hair color was a little lighter than an average person’s, which accentuated his refined features. However, the expression in his eyes was very emotional, completely in contrast with his fitted suit. It was obvious that they were walking alongside each other, and yet it inexplicably gave people the illusion that the mayor beside him was just accompanying him.

Yu Zheng’s eyes immediately lit up.

However, the man indifferently swept a glance at the crowd without paying attention to any of them. He turned his head slightly and casually asked the mayor who accompanied him, “who is my brother in here?”

Yu Zheng originally recognized Si Yang with just a glance, but his excitement was extinguished by half because of this sentence.

“You are so worried that you’re confused. He is there!” The mayor pointed out exactly where Yu Zheng was, and Si Yang’s eyes fell on him.

“Is that you?” Si Yang walked over to Yu Zheng’s side. He was a head taller than Yu Zheng so he looked down at him. His hair drooping down made his whole person look much softer.

“Si… Si Yang-ge…” the sudden close proximity unconsciously made Yu Zheng start to tense up, and even the name that had been rehearsed many times just now had become awkward.

It’s terrible. He was very upset. He then stiffly raised his head and tried his best to show a cheerful smile to Si Yang.

And Si Yang also smiled back with an equally gentle smile.

What a good kid, it was clear that he had been soaked in bitter water [1] , but his pair of black and white eyes still filled with anticipation. Si Yang admired his silly sweet naivety.

Completely different from what Yu Zheng imagined, Si Yang was never some kind of savior who come bearing water to rescue him from a fire. Even the soul inside his body right now was not the original soul of the body.

He was a foreigner with the same name and surname as the body. His mission was to save the protagonist, and that was Yu Zheng.

But in fact, in the real world, Si Yang himself could be considered as a villain to a certain extent.

It is well known that his parents have a marriage based on business. And the fact that his father didn’t like him was common knowledge. One could see how unique they were since they picked a name like ‘Fallen Monarch’. As for his mother, she was even more lazy to care about him. She merely kept the marriage only in name, which would make it more convenient for her to stroll around.

Those who grew up in a big family under the reign of terror of the elders, a little carelessness would lead to their destruction. In order to be able to turn a hand and gather clouds and turn it again to make them rain [2] , it was all about stepping on human blood to get to the top.

But even if it was Si Yang, he still had a light in heart.

Grandmother [3] .

Si Yang was afraid of the dark but in order not to expose his weakness, he closed his eyes at the exact moment every time and forces himself to sleep. Only on that day, an old lady whom he had a one-side fate with [4] , lit a nightlight beside his bed.

"

"

The next day, the old lady left the world.

Si Yang speculated that she must have died an unnatural death. Yet, there was no evidence. Even when he had finally taken over the Si family and personally killed two generations of the Si family’s head, he still didn’t find anything.

At this point, the system appeared, “As long as you complete the mission, I can let you go back before your grandmother’s accident to find the truth.”

“The truth…” Si Yang spun these two words at the tip of his tongue and finally agreed.

Unfortunately, Si Yang wasn’t a ‘good person’ in a traditional sense. Even if it was saving, when it came to him, had also changed.

“Let’s go home.” Holding Yu Zheng’s hand, the well-dressed Si Yang’s voice was gentle. He seemed as if he really was a reliable brother.

This youth was the target of his mission. Even more, he was a sacrifice that would make him be able to go back to his past.

A three-year old noble young master who was abducted by human traffickers. After struggling in the mountains for more than a decade, he managed to escape with great difficulty and find his family. But he discovered that his mother and father had died with regrets and that his older adoptive brother had also died trying to find him.

Although, as it turned out, these three people had left him a mountain of treasures—The Yu Group.

Yu Zheng was the sole heir of the Yu family. As long as he returned, he would be the only person in charge of the Yu Clan.

A teenager that didn’t go through any education and couldn’t even recognize all the words. Wanting to lead at a time of crisis was really too difficult. He was also watched by an unknown number of tiger and wolf [5] relatives who coveted the Yu family’s legacy.

Surrounded by wolves, Yu Zheng was lured into a business fraud and ultimately imprisoned for commercial crimes. The Yu Group also changed its name and fell into the hands of villains.

It was a sad ending. And this tragic dogblood [6] movie based on Yu Zheng’s experiences had already been screened and had aroused the ire of many people.

As a result, Si Yang was selected by the quick transmigration system to receive the mission and come here in order to change the tragic ending of Yu Zheng’s life.

“Save the Yu family and let Yu Zheng live the rest of his life smoothly.” This was the entire contents of the mission Si Yang received. As long as he accomplished it, he would get a reward.

That’s why Si Yang made plans early on to rescue Yu Zheng in advance and take him back to his side.

However, the guidance Si Yang intended to give Yu Zheng wasn’t the gentle and considerate type that was planned by the system. There was no selflessness nor understanding of a good elder brother in it.

He simply wanted to personally put Yu Zheng in a magnificent bird cage built from the finest money can buy then teach him how to struggle and escape the palm of his hands.

The system who had been silent all along suddenly asked, “Why do you want to use that kind of method?”

Si Yang replied righteously, “Because I like it!”

According to the original settings, Si Yang can only live up to half a year at most in this world.
