Ning Chen remained standing, as if his body had stiffened. He did not move.

So… both his father and mother had died at the hands of his uncle.

What a joke. Ning Kang had always treated Ning Jie as his actual brother, but in the end, he was killed by Ning Jie in cold blood.

After learning the truth that he had been searching for for so many years, Ning Chen felt as if his soul was sucked clean out of his body.

The truth was so cruel that it was like a merciless blade, cutting open his heart, to an agonizing pain.

Zhang Dong was in prison, and Ning Jie was arrested. The Public Security Department had set up a special investigation team to investigate the drug trade between Ning Jie and the organization. The matter was conducted in secret. In order to avoid alerting the rest, the arrests were kept a secret the entire time.

Zhang Dong looked at the sky outside the window of the prison. He thought of how he once threatened a homeless man to drive onto the meandering mountainous roads, faking his identity. Then, the car with the broken engine crashed into the cliff. Waiting beneath the cliff, he burned the car and its driver down with gasoline.

However, he did not gain freedom. Instead, he lived most of his life in pain and guilt.

Perhaps, he picked up the baby that night to ease the suffering in his heart.

He was already a terrible person. Maybe by saving a life now, he’d gain a chance at starting over next life.

Perhaps it was for the best.

He only hoped that Tian Tian’s illness could be cured and that she could live a new life in peace and without guilt.

“Uncle Xu Da, Uncle Chu Nan, is everything over with Zhang Dong?” Qin Yu held the phone and listened to the stories. She was silent for a long time, and then she sighed deeply.

“Yes, Ning Jie’s matter is also under investigation. I reckon he’d receive either the death sentence or a life sentence,” Xu Da sighed, “An abominable human, how dare he took the lives of his brother and sister-in-law? He deserves to die.”

“Okay, I got it.” After hanging up the phone, Qin Yu hesitated for a long time before dialing Ning Chen’s number.

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Ning Chen’s voice was a little hoarse. “Hello, Xiao Yu?”

“Chen, it’s me.” Qin Yu’s heart began to ache when she heard Ning Chen’s voice.

Ning Chen, who knew the truth, must have felt very sad.

“Don’t worry, Xiao Yu. I’m fine.” At this point, Ning Chen’s first reaction was to tell Qin Yu not to worry about him.

“The truth is out. Ning Jie will receive the punishment he deserves. Chen, you have to be strong. Wait for me to come back, okay?” Qin Yu said gently.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Ning Chen appeared very obedient. At this moment, he was as fragile as a child. He would not object to whatever Qin Yu said.

“Remember to take your medicine, do you hear me?”

“Okay.”

“You have to eat on time, or else your stomach will hurt.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yu pressed her heart achingly.

Perhaps she felt Ning Chen’s pain.

They were both children who had been mistreated by fate. They had lost too much since young.

Fortunately, they still had each other.

There was still more than a week before the selection of the World Association of Perfume. Qin Yu had been expanding her knowledge of perfume almost day and night.

She did not stop working hard just because she had talent. She knew that she was not only facing the world’s top perfumer, but also the strictest judging panel.

A week later, Ah Nan and Guan Yue accompanied her on a flight to the capital of Xu Country.

The reason why Guan Yue came along was Ning Chen’s instructions. Ning Chen was afraid that Qin Yu would have an accident, so he had Guan Yue brought some reinforcements over, just in case.

“How is Ning Chen recently?” Qin Yu asked Guan Yue worriedly.

“He’s fine, just a little pale. But compared to when his initial mental state, he’s much better now. After being with you, he’s much more determined and optimistic,” Guan Yue comforted Qin Yu.

Qin Yu nodded and felt slightly relieved.

Xu Country’s capital was an artistic city. Statues of famous painters and musicians could be found everywhere. They boarded the tram and arrived at their accommodation.

After some rest, they arrived at the competition venue on the third day, one Silver Hill Estate.

It was said that Silver Hill Estate was a mansion built by an ancient king of Xu Country for his beloved concubines. It occupied a large area, and the architectural style was grand and magnificent. The design and craftsmanship were exquisite, and it was known as one of the ten wonders of the world.

The fact that the selection was held in such a place fully showed the power and influence of the World Association of Perfume.

After entering with her credentials, Ah Nan and Guan Yue were stopped outside.

“It’s okay. Qi Heng doesn’t dare to do anything to me in public.” Qin Yu comforted the two, then walked towards the inner hall with a resolute expression.

Ning Chen told her that Qi Heng was Tang Rou’s father and was once a famous top-class perfumer.

However, after Qi Heng retired, no one mentioned his name for more than ten years.

Qin Yu didn’t expect such a big shot to be a member of the organization.
