CHAPTER 378: CHAPTER 378: GUILT

Yang Yunfeng was awoken by the pain.

When he woke up, he could see nothing but darkness. Not only was his head still covered by a bag, but his hands were also tied behind his back. After struggling twice, he gave up, as the other party had tied him very tightly.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" No sooner had Yang Yunfeng finished speaking than another punch landed on his stomach.

Yang Yunfeng let out a muffled groan, "Buddy, if you want something, just say it clearly. This... is not good."

Then came another round of beating.

In the morning, when Yang Yunfeng woke up again, he was nearly knocked out by the stench enveloping him.

The person... had actually thrown him into a garbage dump, and there was a dog rummaging through things nearby looking for food. It was startled when it saw him and ran away hurriedly.

Moreover, his clothes had been stripped away, leaving him with only a pair of underwear.

Yang Yunfeng, "..."

For the first time, he was rejected by a dirty stray dog.

Yang Yunfeng was about to explode with rage.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never suffered such a loss. The key was that he didn’t even know who the other party was.

But no matter what, this person must be related to Gu Lingling.

"Ah... a pervert!" As soon as Yang Yunfeng stood up from the garbage pile, he encountered an aunt coming out to throw out the trash. As the aunt shouted, her hands didn’t stop.

And so, the garbage in her hands was gloriously thrown onto Yang Yunfeng’s head.

Kitchen waste, like rotting vegetable leaves, eggshells, and scraps, all tumbled down his head.

After taking over a dozen showers, to the point where his skin was almost coming off, Yang Yunfeng still felt he carried that odor.

So much so that when he returned to the Capital City, he was still suspicious when people looked at him, wondering if they smelled the strange odor from him.

"Boss, you’re just going to let him off like that?" Su Ziqiao said angrily, "This kid is full of bad ideas."

In his opinion, they should just cripple him outright to prevent him from doing more harm.

He even dared to have designs on Lingling; he’s simply scum.

Yang Yunhai remained silent, but his expression was very displeased.

"I don’t know what your family’s old man is thinking." Seeing Yang Yunhai like that, Su Ziqiao understood his concerns.

If it weren’t for Mr. Yang, Brother Hai wouldn’t have to be so cautious, and that kid wouldn’t be so arrogant.

In the grand scheme of things, their family’s old man is truly wise, deeply affectionate towards the grandma he never met. Even after all these years, there is always an extra set of bowl and chopsticks at their dining table.

Their old man said that it was for his grandma.

Su Ziqiao had heard from his parents that, back in the day, even though the army had tried to introduce new prospects to Mr. Su, the old man remained steadfast, convinced that grandma wasn’t dead.

"She just took the children out to relieve their boredom. One day, she will come back." This is a phrase the old man would often say.

When grandma Tian Wanfeng was separated from the old man during the chaos of war, she took the youngest son with her. It’s said she was pregnant at the time.

This has been the thing Mr. Su has felt most guilty about all these years.

After searching for so many years with no news, the old man never gave up.

It was only in recent years, due to the changing times, that he has been less frantically searching.

In truth, everyone in the Su Family knows that under those circumstances back then, it was almost impossible for anyone to still be alive.

But it serves as a spiritual solace for the old man.
