Honestly, Fu Zhao knew he could not blame Ye Jiu. After all, it was Zhou Tingting who wanted to harm Fu Zhi in the first place. He had asked his men to investigate her death, and they found out that she had brought a knife with her when she snuck out of the hospital that day. Besides that, all that she was talking about on the phone was revenge.

Of course, it went without saying that Fu Zhi was fully capable of handing Zhou Tingting herself. It was just that he was her father, and there were no parents in this world that wanted their kids to take someone else’s life if she had a chance.

Ye Jiu had been a smart person. He knew better than everyone that Fu Zhi would not fall into Zhou Tingting’s plan.

However, he still chose to do it and kill Zhou Tingting.

When Fu Zhao lifted his head to look at Ye Jiu, his eyes were bloodshot as he hissed, “What did you say?”

“I said, you should keep your crocodile tears away.. As long as you stop meddling with my personal matters, I can still play the father-and-son game with you. All in all, you just provided a gene to me. You weren’t there when I needed you, so don’t come telling me what to do now!”

“I’m your father!”

“Oh yeah? Have you ever cared about me? What kind of father are you? Fu Zhao, the person who has no right to say this word in this world is you! Yes, I have an antisocial personality disorder, and yes, I’m the one who brought disgrace to the Fu Family, but don’t you forget why a few of us will leave this country. Fu Zhi doesn’t know about it, but how about you? Do you not know about it too? Ask yourself, Fu Zhao, Are you worthy of being our father?

“All you care about is your company and your reputation. You even agreed to send Fu Zhi to the orphanage in order to please those people up there! You don’t care how much Fu Zhi has suffered in the Zhao or the Lu Families! All of us are nothing but stepping stones in your path in getting wealth and status. When you’ve achieved your goal, you will cast us all out!” Ye Jiu shouted, staring back straight at Fu Zhao. His body was shaking from his anger and his face was livid with rage. Gone was the happy-go-lucky young man.

“When did I ever say that I thought you were a disgrace to my family, and when did I not care about my daughter?” Fu Zhao pointed at Ye Jiu as he stared at the youngest son he loved most. “I sent Fu Zhi away because I want her to have a normal life. I don’t want her to spend the rest of her life with nothing but lifeless machines! I don’t want you to kill people because you’ll get yourself killed if they deem you too dangerous for society! Ye Jiu, you’re different from others. They have been watching you the whole time, so you have to be more careful with what you do and what you say. How can you not understand that?”

“Yes, I don’t understand at all,” Ye Jiu replied, his voice cold, “But don’t worry, I’m no longer one of the Fu Family. Even if I was killed, I won’t bring any disgrace to your family.”

Fu Zhao nearly had a heart attack when he heard what Ye Jiu had said. He was just worried about Ye Jiu, and he did not know why he must be so mean to him.

“A murderer must pay with his life as a debtor pays with money. How can you justifiably say such things to me when you are doing something illegal and disorderly? Also, what do you expect to get from the research of the International Crime Unit? You’re not young anymore, but why are you still so naive?”

“Didn’t you treat me as disposable garbage as well? A stupid and hateful person like Zhou Tingting should not exist in this world. I’d still kill her even if you give me another chance!”

Fu Zhao raised his arm high and aimed at Ye Jiu’s cheek.

“How can you be so stubborn?!”

His hand landed squarely on Ye Jiu’s cheek, but he already started to regret it the moment his hand made contact with Ye Jiu’s face.

His arm was trembling vigorously, but Ye Jiu did not say anything in response. He just stood there as stiff as a ramrod as he stared fixedly at Fu Zhao.

It seemed to Fu Zhao that Ye Jiu was giving him the silent treatment. He did not think that Zhou Tingting deserved it. He just thought that it was nothing to take someone else’s life. He even thought that he did not deserve to be his father.
