Chapter 188: Our True Identity
If the four of us are not panicking or panicking now, it is false, but we are locked in a bright glass house, and we really can't change the situation and the established facts.
The lights around us had long since gone out, and only one light was still on in our room. The four of us sat in our chairs, each looking at each other thoughtfully, and for a long time none of us spoke, and neither of us knew what to say in the first sentence.
Our hearts are chaotic, and our original intention in exploring Chenjiabao was not to find out our background. We don't think that our current background is bad, does the Chen family think that we fled the organization in the first place because we discovered the flaw in our identity?
It's not like that, I said to myself in my heart. Everything the Chen family does is for the Wansheng Stone, and no matter what our background is, we will be just one of the chess pieces.
But why the four of us? Could it be that the original personnel selection was actually planned by the Chen family a long time ago...
My heart has already become a mess!
"Maybe what they said is true, my adoptive father is really called Jiang Zhengyi, and my mother is called Shu Guiqin." Ah Fang said.
"Hmph, Ah Fang, you usually have a very smart head, why are you confused now, when we joined the army, the file wrote the situation of our family clearly, the Chen family can transfer us out of the army, can't you see our file?" Jeonko said.
The words of the whole son put an end to all the words we wanted to say! Lies or facts, truth or falsehoods, everything is illusory again......
It was raining heavily, and I knelt outside the house, and my parents in the house closed the door and did not see me, and I cried, "I'm so cold, I want to go in." β
"He's just a kid, don't you think that's too cruel?" The mother pleaded and persuaded the father.
"Don't you know what he's going to face in the future? You can't be so soft-hearted now, or you'll kill him!" Father said forcefully.
Mother stopped talking. She sighed, and couldn't bear to stay in the living room and went into the house.
I lay on the ground, the biting rain pouring down on me.
When I woke up in the afternoon, the warm sunlight shone on my bed through the window, my father went out to work again, and my mother stood by the bed and looked at me gently.
"Tokuko, are you awake?" My mother called out to me.
"Mother!" I called out to her weakly.
"There are many things that are beyond our control, and you have to remember that you always have to face those difficulties on your own!" Mother said things I didn't understand.
"I don't understand what you mean, it's wrong for me to skip school, but why are you locking me out in the rain?" I said.
"Why don't you find a place to hide from the rain?" My mother asked me rhetorically.
"I think you'll open the door!" I said.
"But you know your father won't drive!" Mother said.
yes, I know my father couldn't open the door, so what was I expecting last night?
Since I was a child, my father has been extremely strict with me, walking, eating, talking, and sleeping according to his rules.
What kind of person he is, I seem to have forgotten! I just remember that he was an old-fashioned and strict person who couldn't put sand in his eyes.
"Twenty years old, go to the training camp to be a soldier!" My father said this on my twentieth birthday, and it happened that day that I received a notice from the training camp.
On the day I left, my father took me to the station, and for the first time he held my hand and said in a tone that was no longer so stiff, and he said, "Your father will not interfere with your way from now on." Take every step well and look forward without looking back! β
"I know I've been dissatisfying all these years!" I said. "I'm going to do well in training camp!"
"You've been doing well, I'm satisfied!" He said.
I've only met him once in total since then, if not counting this one......
Now he sits in front of me, ashamed like a child who has made a big mistake. His mother sat beside him and supported him.
I looked at their gray hair, the marks on their faces that had been carved by the wind and sand, and suddenly there was no complaint in my heart.
"Is it finally time to tell the truth?" I asked them.
The adoptive father raised his head and said with a little weakness, "Entrusted by people, loyal to people." Your biological parents have saved our lives, and we have never intended to hide it from you, but we have never found the right time..."
I looked at the separated houses around me, and I knew that Ah Fang, Ai Qin, and Quan Zi next to me were probably sitting as upright as me, and our "adoptive father" and "adoptive mother" were sitting opposite.
"So I'm a child of the Chen family!" I said. "So I should be called Chen Mingde, not Chen Rende?"
"Rende, I know it's difficult for you to accept it in a short time, but that's really the way it is. We don't tell you because we don't know how to talk to you. Mother said, "You don't know how painful my heart has been all these years, how painful your father's heart is... We always treat you like our own child. β
"How many benefits did the Chen family give you to cooperate in this scene? You are so bitter, don't you want me to work for the Chen family again? I said a little insensitively. If this is really the plan, then your purpose has been achieved. I am now a prisoner of the Chen family, what else can I do except steal my life? β
"What... Noβ" Mother was a little excited and tried to grab my hand on the table, but I didn't give her the chance.
Of course, I know that all this is not their fault, they can't get rid of Wanshengshi and the Chen family completely in this life. The reason why I say this is because I want to tell them that I will not accept the fact that I am a member of the Chen family.
My father stood up with some excitement, he looked me in the eye and said, "You never know what kind of person your father is, so you can never become him!" You've always given me disappointment, disappointment, disappointment, and this time it's the same! β
After the father finished speaking, he dragged the mother out of the room.
"Yes, I've always been the one to let you down!" I repeated my father's words.
The lights dimmed again, and I slipped off my chair and onto the floor with some weakness, and I simply lay on the ground and looked up at the fading light.
I'm not afraid of the dark! I've been through so much darkness and despair that I've never felt scared! But this time, I'm scared!
Family affection is a bloodthirsty scimitar, and it is stabbing me in the weakest place.
The yellow sand was mixed with a crazy hurricane, and I was hunched together behind the sand dunes, when I saw Aichen, who was crawling towards me in pain. I called out to her, but she couldn't hear any of me.
A gunshot rang out, and Fang's head fell in front of me with black blood, and at this time, Quanzi's head was also blown to my side by the wind. I looked back at Ai Qin, who was already lying there and did not move, and the yellow sand had already buried half of her body.
"Dreams, I'm in dreams!" I said to myself.
The yellow sand is gone, the hurricane is gone, and Quanzi, Ah Fang, and Ai Qin are gone. The fifth child sat in front of me, and he handed me a glass of water and a hand towel.
"You're having nightmares!" Lao Wu said.
I took my glass and drank it in one gulp.
"It's a nightmare to wake up!" I said.
"So that's why I've been hiding it from you! If I had told you this before, would you have believed it? Lao Wu said.
"I don't believe it! Even now I don't believe it either! I said.
"Whether you believe it or not, your identity is the fourth-generation successor of the Chen family, this fact can't be changed!" Lao Wu handed me a document in his hand, "I know that there is no basis for words, this is a DNA test report, and it is more useful to verify those claims with scientific means than anything else." β
I stared at the cover for a long time, "Anything can be faked, can't it?" β
Lao Wu said, "The Chen family is not as bad as you think!" And is the Chen family spending so much effort to fake you just to push you into the position of future successor? β
"Isn't Chen Sangongzi the successor? Why pull me on? I asked.
"Heβ" Lao Wu suddenly sighed and stopped continuing.
"You arranged everything, didn't you?" I asked Lao Wudao.
"All I can tell you is that I put that notebook on purpose! Chenjiabao was broken in by yourself, and no one arranged it. Every step is your own choice, think for yourself... It's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that you're all going to end up with the same outcome!" Lao Wu said.
"How are the few of them?" I asked.
"It's all right, maybe I already have the answer in my heart. Not as resistant as you! Of course, I know that you have always regarded the Chen family as an enemy in your heart, and now that you are suddenly facing such a change, it is difficult for anyone to accept it. β
"Bell, bell!" There was a knock on the door.
The door was pushed open, and Chen Shaokun pushed the door in and smiled at me.
"My little nephew, the world is truly wonderful. I really wanted to kill you before, but then I thought about it, if you weren't for the species of our old Chen family, you wouldn't be able to do something that gave us so many headaches. Know that your father wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp before! β
He moved a chair and sat side by side with Lao Wu, and continued, "The old man feels sorry for you, I have hidden your existence from me for so many years, and many people in the Chen family don't know that there is such a person as you. Hum! But I think he is also painstaking, it is not easy to stay up for so many years, you should have recognized your relatives earlier. β
"So, you don't care if I rob you of your successor!" I said to Chen Sangongzi with the mentality of playing.
"Hahahaha, let's weigh a few pounds and taels of myself first! Hmph, I don't know if I'm alive or dead! Chen Shaokun was poked in his heart by me, and he went straight out.
"You see, I haven't recognized my identity yet, but I have made such a big enemy, do you think I can accept this identity?"
"It's not a question of whether you admit it or not, or whether you accept it or not, that's what it is. Commander Chen's time is running out, he just wants to hand over the Chen family's home while he is still alive. Lao Wu also seemed to lose patience, he stood up and was about to go out, he stood at the door and said to me, "Dezi, there is not much time left for you!" β
