Lawyer Zhang drove Fu Yangxi back in his car. He couldn't help but glance at Fu Yangxi, who had closed his eyes and calmed down, from his rearview mirror.
This young man has changed a lot.
He remembered the first time he met him. He was still a newcomer in the legal profession, and he followed his boss to deal with the Fu family's affairs.
At that time, Fu Yangxi was only 13 years old, and his elder brother Fu Zhihong was 18 years old.
The two brothers were well-taught. They treated others with modesty and politeness. Anyone in contact with them would feel like a spring breeze had blown through them.
The 13-year-old Fu Yangxi was still a child. His clear eyes were especially clean and innocent. When he ran into a caddie on the golf course he would quickly help him up to apologize. At that time, he was still like Fu Zhihong, with pitch-black short hair, looking like a clean little white poplar, tall and slender.
Then, that incident happened.
The incident was a hot topic at the time. After all, the kidnappers dared to kidnap the two young masters of the Fu family and publicly demanded that Fu Chao personally bring the ransom to redeem his two sons.

It almost appeared in the newspapers at that time, but since it would be a bad influence to their business, the Fu family managed to suppress it with a little money. Only some small gossip circulated in private.
As for what happened to the kidnapping case, even though Lawyer Zhang was already regarded as a trusted friend of the Fu family, he was still not clear about it.
All he knew was that Fu Chao, who had gone to redeem his sons, didn't come back, and neither did Fu Zhihong. They all died there, and the appearance of their corpses was rather gruesome. Because one person escaped, both of them were harshly punished when they were re-captured by the kidnappers.
Only Fu Yangxi returned.
Something must have happened during the kidnapping. Because after his return, not only did Fu Yangxi not receive any comfort or hugs, he was also not forgiven by his grandfather and mother.
At that time, the old man gave him two options: either leave with the money or stay and clean up the mess. Fu Yangxi probably chose the latter.
Then when Lawyer Zhang saw Fu Yangxi again, it was already the beginning of this year.
Fu Yangxi was already 18 years old, and he grew up to be completely different from his brother back then.
Dyed red hair, a lackluster spirit in studying.
There was no trace of that 13-year-old boy anymore.
...
Fu Yangxi opened his eyes abruptly. It gave Lawyer Zhang a shock but he managed to  quickly withdraw his gaze.

In the night, the car drove into an exorbitant villa.
There were several cars parked outside the villa, one of which had the license plate of Fu Yangxi's mother.
"Madam is back?" Lawyer Zhang frowned when he saw her car.
"Everything that should come will eventually arrive." Fu Yangxi cheered up and exercised his arms a little. He pushed the door and quickly stepped out of the car.
After taking two steps, he sucked in a deep breath and made larger steps so that he would touch his wounds less often.
The villa was cold. There was not a single photo or frame.
The lights were also frigid.
There was only a lamp in the living room, and a woman with delicate makeup was sitting on the sofa. She held her arms, heard the footsteps, and glanced at him coldly. "I'm surprised that you know how to come home. I heard that you went to the police station. You're really capable now, aren't you?"
Fu Yangxi said nothing. He turned and walked upstairs.
In the next second, a glass crashed and shattered on the floor in front of him with a 'bang'.

The glass shards exploded and cut across the back of Fu Yangxi's hand.
Fu Yangxi's eyelids twitched. The two servants in the corner were almost innocently injured. They hurriedly avoided it.
Fu Yangxi said, "You can leave."
"Thank- Thank you, Young Master." The two quickly hid in the kitchen.
"What the hell are you doing?" Fu Yangxi turned around and said in an annoyed manner. "Yes, I went to the police station, but it was Lawyer Zhang who got me out. I didn't bother you to go. What's it got to do with you anyways? And I used the private jet under my own name, so what does it matter to you?"
"You caused your father and brother's death and yet you still dare to talk back! You still have the audacity to be so happy?!" Yu Jiarong gritted her teeth and asked. "You still have the audacity to fall in love? Are you so complacent that you have forgotten what you've done to them?!"
Fu Yangxi tightly clenched his fists.
As Yu Jiarong got closer, she stared at the young man before her who looked very similar to Fu Chao. She asked with a tone as if she was weeping blood, "Why were you the only one who survived?"
"Are you happy to be the only one who survived?"
"That road had no ditches and no obstructions, so why did you run so slowly?"
"Did you know that it was because of you that your father and brother died? Your father loved you so much, but he died because of you. Is your one life worth both of theirs?"
"..."
Fu Yangxi's temples began to throb suddenly. "Have you taken your medicine?"
"I won't eat them! If you send me to the hospital, won't you forget these things? You have to remember your faults forever!"
When she saw how pale he looked and how he was about to turn and leave, Yu Jiarong stopped him angrily, "You can't stand it after just a few words? Your brother and father are dead. Have you ever thought of how cold they would be underground?"
Silence. A while later, Fu Yangxi suppressed his anger and turned upstairs without saying a word.
Yu Jiarong was still yelling behind him, but he chose to ignore it.
