Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 2078 - 2080: Mortal Enmity

Ning Ge’s words about finding something surprised everyone, and no one was more excited than Old Master Cheng.

"Found it, where is it?" His eyes shone brightly.

But Ning Ge hesitated.

Cheng Su was also a bit nervous, but seeing Ning Ge’s expression, her heart sank, feeling very uneasy.

"With that expression, you’re not going to tell us the person is dead, are you?" Cheng Yaozu blurted out rudely.

Ning Ge allowed himself a bitter smile inside; if they were dead, that might actually be better, everything buried in the ground, no need to dredge it up again.

But that wasn’t the case.

Upon learning of Mi Shaoan’s whereabouts, Ning Ge personally made a trip, and extracted a lot of information from him; thanks to the fact that Mi Shaoan no longer wanted to live, he answered whatever Ning Ge asked, enabling Ning Ge to understand the whole story.

But knowing Xiao Nianxin is a descendant of the Cheng family, would they be able to accept what he was about to say next?

Seeing Ning Ge’s hesitation and expression of wanting to speak but holding back, Cheng Su’s heart plummeted, instinctively gripping Qi Taiguo’s hand.

"What’s really going on? Tell us, we’ve all thought about it, what kind of person is he really?" Cheng Yaozu also sensed something was amiss.

Ning Ge took a sip of tea, glanced at everyone, and then began speaking slowly, "This Mi Shaoan, I’ve been investigating him for a long time. Just a few days ago, there was finally news. This news isn’t particularly rare; he was caught. The detective I commissioned naturally found him. These past two days, I made a specific trip to Haicheng, both because of him and because of Xiao... Nianxin."

Ning Ge recalled the scene of meeting Mi Shaoan, the cold-blooded man speaking of his deeds as if they were as mundane as talking about a meal.

Where should the story begin?

Four years ago, a couple named Cheng Yuying were doing educational support work in a mountain village in Huai County. Both were educated youth, driven by a passion for education that kept them in the mountains, continuing their work as elementary school teachers.

It’s said that Cheng Yuying was an only daughter, with an unknown father, living with her mother in Huai County’s small town. When she was fifteen, her mother died of illness, making Cheng Yuying an orphan. Later, she married a man named Chen Xiang, an intellectual, and they went to the mountains to do educational support work, having a daughter in her thirties.

The family of three lived a life that, while meager, was peaceful and warm. But misfortune suddenly struck one year after the daughter’s birth.

According to the villagers, the family of three suddenly disappeared, leaving only a letter saying they couldn’t bear the poverty and would return to the city. Educated youth returning to the city wasn’t uncommon, and despite suspicions, no one thought deeply about it, assuming the family truly disappeared without a goodbye.

In fact, Cheng Yuying and her husband didn’t return to the city; they were murdered, buried in the mountains behind their home, forever becoming teachers in the mountain. As for their daughter, she was originally meant to be killed too, but the word "daddy" stirred compassion in the killer, quelling the intent to kill.

The parents were dead, making the girl an orphan. The killer took her out of the mountains and placed her in another city, leaving her at an orphanage, even checking on her and sending money later.

"...That girl is Xiao Nianxin." Ning Ge spoke slowly, "Her parents were discovered through the public security after Mi Shaoan turned himself in, and their remains were found."

Not relatives, but mortal enemies.

Xiao Nianxin’s parents were killed and are no longer in this world.

"And Mi Shaoan admitted that he took on the assignment to kill."

Cheng Su’s mind went blank, darkness overwhelming her vision as she leaned towards Qi Taiguo, simultaneously with Old Master Cheng collapsing.
