"February 16, 1996, this special day changed you", Ran Xiaoke threw bricks and stones.

"On that day, I will never forget that I should have had a happy childhood, a complete family, even if it was a foster family", the other said, "The darkest day of my life, on February 16, 1996, my adoptive mother and sister got into a truck into the city and never returned".

"The whole family will collapse", Ran Xiaoke continued the other party's words.

"Yes, after that, my adoptive father was reluctant to give up every day, and he was bent on finding his wife and daughter, and sometimes, when he was drunk, he would say that it was all my fault, and I was the culprit, and the root cause of the accident was that I brought bad luck, and it became commonplace to beat and scold me", the other party said calmly.

"But I don't hate my adoptive father, if it weren't for him, I would have starved to death, I only hate the truck driver who took them away", the other party said through gritted teeth, "I must find him and want him to die".

Ran Xiaoke didn't answer, he knew that the seeds of hatred must have been planted when he was a child, and the harder his adoptive father beat him, the greater his hatred for the truck driver.

"Later, when I grew up, I learned the technology of the Internet, and my body was strong enough to support my thoughts, so I started looking for the truck driver", the other party was not in a hurry.

"It's not easy to find a needle in a haystack, not to mention that you don't know who the other party is," Ran Xiaoke continued with the other party's words.

"Yes, if there is no purposeful search, it must be useless, I heard about the dark web by chance, I want to try my luck, the idea of a dead horse as a live horse doctor", the other party said, "I didn't expect it, I really found some secrets".

"Let's talk about it", Ran Xiaoke guided.

"I saw a portrait with the same pattern as their tattoo on the dark web, it was an image avatar with a tattoo on the left arm of a certain person, and I suspected that the person behind the avatar had something to do with the disappearance of my adoptive mother and sister, and it took me a lot of effort to interact with the person with the avatar and understand that he was doing something illegal and criminal, such as human trafficking ......," the other person continued.

"Later," Ran Xiaoke continued.

"I used hacking techniques to lock the IP address of the other party's computer network, and also hacked his computer, and saw a lot of information, it turned out that they were an organization that had been engaged in some harmful activities for a long time. I found out a few other people from his online address book, two other of the three truck drivers, along with Lao Du and your father."

"How did you find out who they really are?" , Ran Xiaoke asked, wanting to get more information.

"At the beginning, I didn't find a way to build an effective bridge between virtual society and real life, but then I found the doorway, and it was not difficult to say", the other party was full of confidence, "During the chat, I learned about their business direction, I intentionally said that there are related needs, and I want to entrust them to provide me with what I need, after the appointment, I paid the deposit, although the other party is very cautious, two people came, I feel that I am not completely sure, the other party is a hundred secrets, and they are not so vigilant on the way back, I still found an opportunity, and after we met, I followed the other party and found the foothold of one of them", and the other party was a little excited when it came to the bright spots.

"Isn't the rest of the matter easy to handle", Ran Xiaoke said.

"Of course, the rest of the things are a matter of course, I just pay close attention to the people at the foothold, waiting for the opportunity, follow him to run a business, when he stopped to rest, finally met a good opportunity, he was alone, the car also stopped under the viaduct, few people passed, carefully planned, I quietly touched his cab outside, saw that he was sleeping and resting, I mustered up the courage, succeeded in one fell swoop, knocked the truck driver unconscious and tied his hands and feet", the other party said a little proudly, "After some torture, I got the information I wanted from his mouth".

"What information?" , Ran Xiaoke asked.

"First of all, he admitted that they were trafficking in people, especially women and children, and also talked about the February 16, 1996 incident, which he said was operated by a driver surnamed Ran, and at that time others also saw the two mother and daughter who had been deceived from the former petrochemical plant in the den," and the other party's tone became ruthless and cold.

"What happened to the two mothers and daughters?" , Ran Xiaoke asked urgently.

For example, the addresses of several people, their phone numbers, their business routes, and the places they like to park and rest......", the other party has no cover.

"You liquidated them one by one?" Ran Xiaoke asked.

"Of course, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it's better to be late than never", the other party said vigorously.

"Why do you want to cut off their organs, ears and ......", Ran Xiaoke wanted to figure out some details.

"Hatred! I lost my adoptive mother and sister, and I had to leave something from them, it's the principle of reciprocity, albeit disgusting", the other party angrily.

"What does that have to do with Lao Du?" , Ran Xiaoke was puzzled.

"He is also one of them, I forced the first truck driver, he told me very clearly a total of 5 people, three truck drivers and Lao Du, and your father, but Lao Du and your father do not drive, they are doing things in the later stage, contacting the upper and lower families", the other party said very clearly.

"Nonsense", Ran Xiaoke was stunned, he would never believe what the other party said, his father, although he didn't care enough about him when he was a child, and often did business outside, but he couldn't do things that hurt nature, because Ran Xiaoke thought he was kind, and this kindness he thought was in his bones, so what he thought he couldn't do, his father would never do.

But how is the tattoo on his father's left arm explained?

Ran Xiaoke couldn't convince himself, he remembered, no wonder no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, his father always wears long-sleeved clothes, even in the hottest summer, he always wears long-sleeved shirts, he was very confused before, but now it finally makes sense, it turned out to cover the tattoos on his hands, he never heard his father or mother mention the existence of tattoos, he only knew that his mother told him that his father was running a medicinal herb business outside, and as for why he never wore short-sleeved clothes, His father explained that he had burned his left hand with boiling water while he was working, leaving an ugly scar, and his mother said the same thing, and Ran Xiaoke never suspected anything.

"Let's hear what your father has to say," he said.

Ran Xiaoke and Zhao Yixin set their eyes on Ran's father.

Ran's father lowered his head and didn't say a word.

"Dad, you say", Ran Xiaoke hoped that his father would say that the other party was talking nonsense, but his father didn't speak, as if he had verified the sentence, and silence was better than sound at this time.

"Why?" , Ran Xiaoke still didn't control his emotions.

"I'm sorry!" , Ran's father finally spoke, but there were no more words.

"What are you doing today for?" , Ran Xiaoke turned around and asked the other party on the phone.

"It's simple, he participates, he pays the price. Today, I asked you to take him to the rooftop with me, just to let your father experience the despair of seeing your parents leave you forever as a child, and the same despair as a parent leaving your child forever", the other party said very calmly.

"What do you want?" , Ran's father finally stopped being silent, "Yes, I did something wrong, but I have repented for more than 20 years, and for more than 7,000 days and nights, there is not a moment when I have no regrets for the wrong choice."

"I'm really touched, but forgiveness is never possible, wrong is wrong, you can't have another chance", the other party didn't mean to forgive.

"I don't ask for your forgiveness, I deserve it, the retribution is only coming now, I have earned it", Ran's father did not struggle in his heart.

"Very good, my idea is simple. Originally, I wanted to kill you, but you are very lucky, two months ago, the physical examination showed that I had acute myeloid leukemia, which is why I accelerated the search for your revenge, you are the last, I feel that my physical condition is deteriorating these days, and I feel that my physical strength cannot support my thoughts, maybe, this is my last few days of life. I've found a weaker alternative, your son's girlfriend, so I won't have to bother with you," laughed.

"How do you know that Zhang Meng is my former girlfriend?" , Ran Xiaoke is still a little puzzled.

"What's so hard to find out about this, for a master cyber hacker, you have no secrets in front of me, including the past and the present," the other party said very calmly.

"You let her go, you can do whatever you want me, she is innocent, I don't want anyone to be hurt in any way", Ran's father has a clear mind and his language is also very accurate.

"No problem, as long as you listen to me, Zhang Meng is absolutely safe", the other party said.

"What do you want me to do?" , Ran's father would rather compromise for Zhang Meng's safety.

"It's simple, you just need to jump off the rooftop of the Skyline Tower where you're standing!", the other said without emotion.

"What? You're crazy", Ran Xiaoke said excitedly, and said to his father, "Absolutely not! Don't listen to him".

"Think about Zhang Meng, and the sharp sword hanging over her head, you don't seem to have a choice", the other party said with everything under control.

"Okay, I promise you", Ran's father turned to his son after speaking, "When you were young, our family conditions were not good, I didn't want you and your mother to be wronged, I went out to find a business to do, running around, at first I was often hungry and cold, hungry, not to mention sending money back to your mother and son, and then a business partner led me astray and started a criminal business, that person was Lao Du, several of us also worshipped, with tattoos as letters, and swore to keep secrets forever." After doing it a few times, I felt guilty, so I persuaded the other few people to wash their hands and stop drying, but the haze in our hearts finally lingered, and several of us never saw each other since we didn't dry our hands, and we lived our normal lives. What is retribution, it's not that you don't repay, it's just that the time has not come, maybe it's time to put an end to it. Take good care of your mom and help me say I'm sorry to her! After speaking, he turned and walked briskly towards the edge of the rooftop......

"No!" , Ran Xiaoke shouted hysterically, and Zhao Yixin also shouted almost at the same time, "No ......"
