To wrap things up, Xu Qin awkwardly cleared his throat as if indirectly abiding by Xu Ming’s claims which in turn dissipated the depressing atmosphere a little bit due to this misunderstanding.

Presently, due to Xu Mei’s insistence, Xu Qin tagged along with Xu Ming to send him off to the ‘airport’.

Honestly speaking, Xu Qin was surprised that Xu Ming agreed with his daughter’s request and let him go along with her.

Did not know why but at some point, this person suddenly became more lenient toward him which made him a bit more confident in pursuing her.

Anyway, since neither of them had anything to talk about, the atmosphere in the car was silent as they both were staring out of the window going on with their thoughts.

Until some time later did Xu Ming lightly raise a question while still fixing his gaze on the fleeting scenery outside of the car window.

‘’Do you often have nightmares?’’

Inwardly surprised, Xu Qin slightly glanced to the side.

Upon seeing that she seemed to just casually pose a question, he quietly took back his gaze as he calmly responded,’’ In the past, yes but nowadays, it happens once in a while.’’

After putting down these words, Xu Qin gave a self-deprecating smile,’’ Do I look that bad for you to ask me this?’’

The moment this question went out there was no reply. Only a few seconds later did Xu Ming give a short answer.

‘’A little.’’

Hearing this, Xu Qin’s smile slowly disappeared which was then replaced by an unreadable expression.

It took another short while for Xu Qin to speak again.

‘’Do you feel curious about the person that I mistook you for?’’

Xu Ming did not expect to hear this so he momentarily went silent before issuing a small Mm to let Xu Qin continue his talk.

Contrary to his thoughts that Xu Qin might have a hard time opening up about his past, the person in question seemed rather relaxed in talking about this uncomfortable topic.

‘’When I was 10 years old, I contracted pneumonia and was in a situation where I couldn’t go to the hospital. I did not take medicine for a little over three days so my condition was really bad. Only with that person’s appearance did I manage to get treated in time otherwise I should have died a long time ago.’’

Xu Qin glossed over the details and did not go deeper into it but Xu Ming already knew the rest of the story without him saying them.

At that time, the R government wanted to take it slow and investigated the hideouts but Xu Ming felt that it would be too slow since who knew how long the captives could hold out so he suggested going there in person.

The reason Xu Ming remembered the young Xu Qin was that he was the only one with black hair and Asian features among the captives.

To top it off, the kid was dying so Xu Ming couldn't turn a blind eye to him.

The initial plan was for him to overlook the children while informing the police about the situation inside and then patiently waited for the support to arrive.

However, because of that child, Xu Ming made a deal with those disgusting things using his looks and got his hands dirty with their blood.

[A/N: Don't misunderstand, Xu Ming only used words, not any physical contact.]

Xu Ming was wearing an ear cuff that was installed with a secret device that could communicate with the police and locate his whereabouts so many people including Cain overheard his conversation with those people.
