He didn’t. Not at all anymore. How could one dare to alter life and death? He was wrong! But Lin Jing’an kept going wrong!
“Teacher, just treat them like little lab rats. Look, they are very obedient.”
“No, stop, they are human beings, living, breathing children!”
Finally, he couldn’t bear it anymore. On a night of continuous summer rain, when Lin Jing’an reached out his demonic hand towards Little Yun Duo, Jiang Baiyuan attacked him with an electric baton, then fled the city with Little Yun Duo in his arms.
“I am your daddy. Little Ruyi, call me daddy—” “Dad, Dad—”
He treated her as a substitute for his daughter. Little Yun Duo became Little Ruyi, with a gentle and refined father. They lived in a remote small town, leading a simple and plain life. Jiang Baiyuan opened a fruit shop, selling fruits with barely enough business to get by. Jiang Ruyi was well-behaved, did well in school, and after school, she would help him at the shop, her voice sweet and childlike, “Brothers and sisters, would you like to buy some fruit? / Brother, here are big, sweet apples. / Sister, these are kiwifruits for beauty and health…”
They depended on each other for ten years. Suddenly, Lin Jing’an came knocking, “Teacher, have you gone into hiding?”
The man, now famous in the field of neuroscience, was wearing a well-tailored black suit, tall and imposing, but his face was pale and sickly. Jiang Baiyuan’s expression was stern, his eyes wary, “What do you want?”
Lin Jing’an smiled gently, “Teacher, don’t be nervous, I just came to see Little Ruyi and help her remember her little friends.” He had those experimental records and videos. The pain was never gone, and he used it to threaten him.
Jiang Baiyuan clenched his fists, forcing himself to calm down, “What exactly do you want to do?”
Lin Jing’an’s smile grew even more gentle, “I have a team, and I want you to lead it.”
Then, he became his scapegoat. To protect his daughter, they erased her memories and sent her to an orphanage. She was fifteen now, beautiful and adorable, destined for a healthy and bright future. But he was forever trapped in his sins. However, it didn’t matter; having made a mistake, he should bear the consequences.
