Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 550: Nursing a Tiger to One’s Peril

Ling Tianyou listened to Gu Ningyue’s words, and roughly understood a couple of things in his heart: "You’re saying that Bai Chengfan didn’t let his remarried mother and brother go, and he kept pursuing them to their new home?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Something like that! But these events happened after Bai Chengfan graduated from high school. At that time, his household faced changes again. The elderly couple who adopted him grew older, and by the time he graduated high school, they finally couldn’t carry on any longer and passed away one after another. Bai Chengfan once again became a child without parents, left only with an old house."

"An old rural house might not be worth much, but it’s better than being homeless," Ling Tianyou said, looking at Gu Ningyue. "What happened next?"

Gu Ningyue smiled, looking at Ling Tianyou, "You should have guessed the next part. Bai Chengfan got into a decent university but had no money for tuition. Although he received approval for a student loan, he didn’t even have the fare for travel to the university and daily expenses."

"Did he go to find his biological mother?" Ling Tianyou asked. "That’s not a wise decision."

When he was young, his family showed him no affection, and at this stage, why would his family care for him?

Besides, why did his mother fall seriously ill, and why did she hastily remarry and leave that village? This might be inextricable from Bai Chengfan.

Gu Ningyue softly said, "No, he didn’t go back. Bai Chengfan, initially, still had some pride, unlike now, when he bullies the weak and fears the strong. He readily submits... I digress. Bai Chengfan had to work in the nearest town to earn money for living expenses and travel, and coincidentally, he met his brother there."

In Gu Ningyue’s mind, it was really a case of "Paradise has a path you don’t take, Hell has no gate you enter."

If they hadn’t met, maybe that child would still be living somewhere in this world!

What a pity, a vibrant life.

"The child whom his biological parents favored the most?" Ling Tianyou asked as he looked at Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Bai Chengfan was probably surprised at first and didn’t speak kindly to that child. But perhaps he figured it out overnight, because the next day when his brother came again, he suddenly changed his previously hostile attitude and started getting close to him."

Thinking of this, a mysterious smile appeared on Gu Ningyue’s lips, "Do you know why?"

Ling Tianyou was silent for a couple of seconds, though the answer was clear in his heart, he couldn’t bring himself to say it for some reason.

"You’ve guessed, haven’t you... Hehe..." Gu Ningyue chuckled, "Bai Chengfan gradually gained his brother’s trust and told him not to inform their parents about their contact. And the place where Bai Chengfan was working was exactly where his brother went every evening after school to eat. At that time, the kid was in the first grade of junior high, and his grades were reportedly quite good."

Ling Tianyou listened quietly, his emotions were very complex.

He never believed that one could hate someone for so long, but now he believed it.

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, "Guess what Bai Chengfan did later?"

Ling Tianyou moved his lips, hearing his own voice stiffly say, "He killed his brother."

Gu Ningyue laughed, "Half right. Killed, but not really killed safely. Hehe..."

"What do you mean?" What does it mean to kill but not completely kill?

Gu Ningyue brushed her hair off her forehead, looking at Ling Tianyou’s excessively handsome face, said, "That kid jumped into the reservoir himself; no one pushed him. His death was voluntary. Bai Chengfan, he just imparted that kind of knowledge to him!"

Ling Tianyou froze: "He instigated his brother to commit suicide?"

Gu Ningyue asked, "Is it terrifying?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "It’s something no normal person could do; his brother was innocent, why do this?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, "Of course, because of hate! At that time, his biological mother’s family had already moved to the town; although their lives weren’t great, they were still much better compared to Bai Chengfan, who had to work for travel and living expenses."

Ling Tianyou remained silent for a few seconds, "Bai Chengfan managed to make him successfully commit suicide, it seems his brainwashing skills have always been strong, no wonder later on he could..."

"Some people, inherently carry ’evil’ in their bones, don’t they?" Gu Ningyue toyed with the curls hanging down her chest, looked at Ling Tianyou in front of her, and softly said, "I’ve never believed the saying ’Man is inherently good.’ Those who lacked education from a young age, even if they appear kind-hearted when older, still reveal rare glimpses under certain triggers. Look at Bai Chengfan; isn’t he a prime example? At that time, my mentor told me Bai Chengfan was an excellent graduate that year!"

"Not only was he nice-looking, but he was also good at dealing with people. Everyone who knew Bai Chengfan had a good impression of him."

But it turns out, even such a person committed evils from a young age.

There were clearly better ways to solve things, but he chose not to follow the usual path.

"What about his mother? Is she still alive?" Ling Tianyou asked.

"Of course. After all, he still has uses for his mother!" Gu Ningyue looking at Ling Tianyou, continued, "After years of loving the younger son, it was time for the elder son to make an appearance. His college entrance exams were great; he got into a reputable school. His tuition was covered by student loans, not giving his mother any headaches. Besides, he already had the ability to work, even doing a part-time job wouldn’t cause someone to not accept him. This was much more convenient than when he was a kid!"

Ling Tianyou said, "His mother kept him then?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Of course, after the baptism of time, even the most fearful things will wear off. Furthermore, Bai Chengfan’s father’s death back then couldn’t convict Bai Chengfan, right? In that place, let alone surveillance, not a soul would cross paths. Plus, who asked Bai Chengfan’s biological father to like drinking so much? Everyone thought he was holding a bottle of wine on his way back and thus accidently fell!"

Ling Tianyou remained silent, raising predators; upon hearing Gu Ningyue’s words, he understood the meaning of the idiom.

Thinking of it, Bai Chengfan’s mother must be such a person.
