chapter 20 Grudges back then

"Both you and your parents should start packing in the next two days, and we'll move back to Dongzhou in two days to start anew," Randy Ling asserted. "You're being too idealistic!" Arabella Qin sighed deeply. "You don't understand how dire our situation is. There's no place for our family in Dongzhou." "That was the past," Randy Ling stated solemnly. "From now on, everything will change. Believe me, I'll make it happen." "Alas! Why can't you see it?" Arabella Qin sighed. "Never mind, no matter how much I say now, you won't believe me. You'll understand later." After speaking, she hesitated and looked at Randy Ling. "Can I ask you for one last favor?" "Viola is often called a fatherless wild child, and they taunt her every time they see her," Arabella Qin explained. "Viola has developed a psychological trauma and is afraid to go to the Qin family's house. This time, I want you to come with us to bring her a sense of security." She wasn't sure if this was the right thing to do, but given the circumstances, she felt it was the best option, one step at a time. "Of course!" Randy Ling nodded vigorously. "Tell me what you need." "Grandpa's birthday is in three days, and our family is going to Dongzhou to celebrate," Arabella Qin continued. "If it's convenient for you, could you accompany us to the Qin family's house?" "Don't worry about me; I'll be fine," Randy Ling assured her with a light smile. "Then... Okay, let's leave it at that for today?" Arabella Qin added, giving a slight nod. "Don't blame my mother; she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart," she said. "Over the years, without her help, I would have..." "That's enough!" Randy Ling nodded vigorously. "We'll meet in Dongzhou in three days." "Thank you!" Arabella Qin nodded slightly and, after a brief pause, added a little guiltily, "However, if you go to the Qin family, they will definitely mock you. You..." "Yes," Arabella Qin agreed with a complex expression. The next morning. Dongzhou, Houshan Cemetery. "I understand," Randy Ling interrupted. "I only feel gratitude and guilt toward your parents." He spoke again, "I'll go to Dongzhou to handle some matters first. I'll be waiting for your call in three days." "If Viola wants to find me after she wakes up, just tell her she can see her father in three days. I'll never leave her again." Three meters behind him, Sherod Lu stood like a statue, with a serious expression. The two of them maintained this posture for two or three hours, as if frozen in time. "Commander, please forgive me," Sherod Lu spoke after an hour. Randy Ling knelt in front of a tombstone. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were red. A chilling aura enveloped him, causing the temperature in the vicinity to drop by several degrees. "I'll find every person involved in the murder of you and your family. They will kneel before your grave and apologize one by one." After speaking, he stood up, bowed three times, and walked away. "How is the investigation into what happened five years ago?" Randy Ling asked as they got in the car. Boom! Boom! Boom! Randy Ling kowtowed three times to the tombstone. "Father, your unworthy son Randy Ling has returned. Rest in peace." "Indeed, it's them!" An extremely cold aura radiated from Randy Ling's body. Five years ago, the Zheng family, Randy Ling's adoptive father's family, was the leader among the four major families in Dongzhou. The other three families were the Zhao, Wang, and Tao families. Although all four were considered major families, the Zheng family's power far surpassed the others, firmly establishing their dominance. "Commander-in-Chief, we've already investigated," Sherod Lu responded. "According to the characteristics of the assassin you described, I had the judge track him for half a year and finally found him in a neighboring country. He confessed to everything." "Back then, the masterminds behind the murder of your adoptive father's family were none other than the Zhao family, along with the Wang and Tao families, which are now the largest wealthy families in Dongzhou." Randy Ling's adoptive father had always believed that good would triumph over evil, and in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were in vain. Consequently, he never paid much attention to them. However, things took a different turn. His adoptive father was known for his upright and resolute character, often clashing with the other three families, especially the Zhao family. The Zhao family held a grudge after losing several major projects to the Zheng family. Randy Ling had warned his adoptive father to be cautious of the three families joining forces to engage in treacherous plots. "We've found her!" Sherod Lu nodded. "It's Fiona Liu, your adoptive father's confidante." Fiona Liu was the director of public relations at the Zheng Group, a renowned beauty in Dongzhou. She had wormed her way into Randy Ling's adoptive father's bed through certain means. However, her adoptive father never intended to marry her, which had fueled her resentment. Randy Ling never had a favorable opinion of Fiona Liu and had always sensed that she was a scheming woman. "It seems that on the day of the incident, your adoptive father's family was saved by someone as kind-hearted as you," Sherod Lu continued. "However, the second young master of the Zhao family found her the next day. Along with the two young masters of the Tao and Wang families, they subjected her to various humiliations. Unable to bear the shame, your sister eventually committed suicide by jumping into a river." "Moreover, the man who rescued her was brutally murdered by the three of them." "Very well!" Randy Ling stated in a cold tone. "We will settle the score with them." "Commander, there's something else I need to inform you about," Sherod Lu hesitated. "Speak!" Randy Ling ordered in a deep voice. Boom! Before he could finish, a wave of murderous intent emanated from Randy Ling, and his eyes glinted like those of a wild beast. "They truly deserve to die," Randy Ling stated with each word, his voice chilling to the bone. "Tell the Judge to find those three monsters and deal with their families tonight." "Understood!" Sherod Lu nodded solemnly. ..
