Did they deserve to die?
Chen Yan smiled:
That's what people thought at the time.
Then the person in the palace was furious and secretly sent his men to exterminate the entire Sheng family.
"And you were lucky; just as you were about to be killed, you were saved by a compassionate man in black, and then you entered the Six Doors..."
Was the person who killed my father sent by that person from the palace?!
My father is a traitor; does he deserve to die?!
Am I also a pathetic creature who survived only because others took pity on me?!
Wuqing's face turned deathly pale, and his mind was buzzing.
The unwavering belief in revenge over the years
Looking back now, it seems so foolish and ridiculous!
My father is a traitor and a lackey.
It was because of his betrayal that the entire families of seven loyal ministers were tragically killed.
My father knew how to bring about his own demise; even if his entire family were wiped out, there's nothing more to say...
Am I the daughter of a traitor's lackey?!
Thinking of all this, Wuqing felt a sharp pain in his heart and instantly collapsed!
[Ding! The host has caused Ruthlessness to collapse, gaining 1,000 Collapse Points!]
But even in her agony and breakdown, a sliver of reason remained. Clutching her throbbing chest, she asked, "Master Chen, what evidence do you have for all this?"
Any evidence?
Chen Yan smiled and said, "When the murderers who wiped out your whole family are still alive, one of them is Young Master Ximen, who is addicted to gambling. It will probably be very difficult for you to find him and find out the truth of what happened back then, because his whereabouts are unpredictable."
But finding a second one is easy.
Because at that moment, that person is standing right behind you.
One of the murderers who participated in the massacre of my Sheng family is right behind me?
Wuqing was taken aback.
Suddenly looked back.
But behind him, besides his older brother Tie Shou, who had always taken care of him, protected him, and doted on him, there was no one else.
Startled, she turned to look at Chen Yan: "Master Chen, there's no one behind me..."
Before Chen Yan could answer, Wanwan chuckled.
"Miss Sheng, with that tall and imposing Iron Hand Constable standing there, you're saying you have no one behind you? Isn't that just blatant lying?"
"Brother Iron Hand, he's always taken care of me and doted on me, even more than my own brother. Even if he's standing behind me, it wouldn't be..."
Speaking of it.
Wuqing was stunned.
In that instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck my mind!
The lightning bolt dispelled the haze and darkness in her heart, as if it instantly allowed her to see the truth and reality!
Yes.
He joined the Six Doors when he was young.
Due to the disability in both legs, it is very inconvenient.
But from the moment Tie Shou first saw her, he took great care of her and protected her, just like a biological older brother.
but.
Why is Iron Hand so good to me?
They had never met or known each other before.
Master Chen once said that when my family was massacred, one of the murderers, out of pity, saved me…
Could it be.
Brother Iron Hand is the one who participated in the massacre of the Sheng family back then, and who saved me out of pity in the end!
The reason he has been so good to me all these years is...
Was it out of pity for me?
Think of this.
Wuqing's face went from deathly pale to ashen, and his mind was in complete chaos.
He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Iron Hand.
Word by word: "Brother Iron Hand, you, you are..."
"Yes!"
Before the ruthless question could even be finished.
Tie Shou nodded emphatically: "I am one of the twelve culprits who participated in the massacre of the Sheng family back then, and also the one who saved you out of pity!"
Chapter Fifty-Five: The Collapsed Iron Hand!
Iron Hand lowered his head, looking at the beautiful yet tragic face.
There was reluctance in my heart, but more than anything, I felt relieved.
He has carried this secret for too long over the years, and it has been very difficult for him.
It's good to reveal this secret today, thanks to Master Chen.
His eyes showed a look of reminiscence: "Back then, when we received orders from above and learned that someone had betrayed seven loyal ministers, we were all filled with righteous indignation and uncontrollable anger."
We will launch a manhunt for your Sheng family and locate your hideout.
They launched the attack at night.
Of your 32 family members, none survived except for you.
Finally, Young Master Ximen thrust out his spear, intending to kill you, but seeing that you were young, I couldn't bear it and intervened, saving you.
later.
When I met you at the Six Doors, I was deeply moved.
I noticed you have a cold and aloof personality and no friends, which is why I've been taking care of you all this time..."
"Why?!"
Why did this happen?!
After hearing Iron Hand's account, Ruthless broke down instantly, tears streaming down his face.
His own father was a traitorous lackey.
The person who always took care of me was the murderer who wiped out my entire family.
This person saved him and took care of him for many years, so he couldn't seek revenge.
Moreover, even if this person didn't save me.
Given his father's actions, he had no right to seek revenge.
"So all these years you've taken care of me out of pity."
Sheng Yayu, you're just a pathetic wretch.
You should have died with your parents back then, otherwise you wouldn't be in so much pain today... Waaah..."
A heart-wrenching breakdown, tears streaming down her face.
Iron Hand wanted to comfort her as usual.
But the hand that was stretched out in mid-air stopped.
From what standpoint should I offer comfort?
Was it his father's killer?
For a moment, the outstretched hand froze in mid-air, at a loss for what to do.
Chen Yan then took a sip of tea.

He looked at Iron Hand and smiled, "Captain Iron, I'd like to ask you a question, is that alright?"
"Of course, Master Chen, please ask."
Iron Hand withdrew his arm and nodded.
Chen Yan: "Do you regret participating in the massacre of the Sheng family back then?"
Iron Hand paused for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't regret it. It's my duty, and I dare not disobey. Besides, I've never shown any mercy to traitors."
