Early summer, Silver City.
"Miss, hurry up! Hurry..." Uncle Brown supported Lily, who was in the late stage of pregnancy, and fled hastily from the back door of the Lee family. Every step was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
Lily was still sleeping, but someone secretly placed charcoal in the room, and the doors and windows were closed. She almost died from lack of oxygen. At this moment, her head was dizzy, her stomach was churning, and she just wanted to vomit. As the only daughter of the Lee family, she was secretly plotted by her biological father and stepmother.
"Miss, once you get to your grandparents' house, don't come back. You must tell them that your father is unreliable!" Uncle Brown's words were full of resentment and heartache.
He supported her and walked more and more anxiously, and added: "Your mother's death may also be related to him!"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, making Lily pale and deeply shocked.
Uncle Brown supported her as she tried to escape, "Be careful." She staggered forward like a zombie, almost tripping several times, with Uncle Brown's reminders echoing in her mind.
Soon, she was stuffed into a taxi with her big belly.
Uncle Brown bent down and said to the driver with tears in his eyes, "Brother, the young lady is now in your hands. Drive her away!"
The driver nodded solemnly. He was Uncle Brown's younger brother and the person Uncle Brown trusted the most. As soon as the driver stepped on the accelerator -
"There! Stop!! Don't let her escape!!"
Lily, who was sitting in the car, leaned out the window and looked out. She saw a group of men rushing out waving wooden sticks!
Lily's mind, which was almost collapsed due to lack of oxygen, suddenly became clear. Her heart rose to her throat and her pupils suddenly dilated.
"You're looking for death! How dare you let her go!"
Those men punched and kicked Uncle Brown extremely violently, and knocked Uncle Brown to the ground in just a few strokes!
"Uncle Brown!!" Lily anxiously banged on the car window and screamed loudly, her heart filled with anger and helplessness!
Several others ran after the taxi.
"Stop! Stop!" They waved the wooden sticks in their hands, and the look in their eyes and the expressions seemed as if they only wanted to kill her.
The driver gripped the steering wheel tightly, suppressed his worry for his brother, and stepped on the accelerator to escape!
" Uncle Brown !! Uncle Brown——" Lily slapped the car window, tears falling desperately, she didn't care about her situation at all.
From a distance, she saw Uncle Brown who was kicked to the ground with blood all over his mouth, screaming, but still being beaten. But he still waved at her with a smile, his eyes were desolate and firm, signaling her to run away quickly.
Lily felt heartbroken, "Uncle Brown——" She knew that Uncle Brown was repaying her grandfather's kindness.
The driver saw the miserable condition of his brother through the rearview mirror and could only bear the pain with tears in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom!
It was impossible to save his brother, they were outnumbered.
The most important thing now is——
Escort the lady to a safe place! Complete my brother's instructions!
Soon, the taxi successfully shook off the people who were chasing it and sped away as if it was escaping for its life!
Lily gritted her teeth and shed tears, Uncle Brown 's words echoing in her ears -
" Miss, when you go to your grandparents' house, don't come back. Tell them that your father is unreliable!"
Just then—
A blinding firelight shone through the car window! Lily squinted her eyes, instinctively put out her hand to block it, and then turned her head suddenly——
I saw a raging flame engulfing the familiar house! Before my eyes was a burning sea of fire!
"ah……!"
"ah!!"
The screams sounded like they came from hell!
She saw the servants, covered in flames, crawling out, but soon fell to the ground one by one, howling a few times before being burned to death.
Lily's pupils dilated, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief!
The elderly and kind figures of my grandparents flashed through my mind——
" Grandpa! Grandma!!"She recovered from her shock and screamed as she tried to open the door and get out of the car! This time her reaction was even more intense, like an ant on a hot pot.
However, the rational driver had already locked the car door.
No matter how hard she tried, the car door didn't budge. "Let me out of the car! I want to get out!" She screamed madly, her emotions completely out of control.
The driver knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he stepped on the accelerator and continued to flee with her!
"Grandpa!!! Grandma——" Lily leaned sideways and slapped the car window desperately, shouting at the top of her lungs, tears pouring out like a spring, "Grandma——"
The roaring flames shot straight into the sky like a demon!
She shouted until her throat was hoarse, and tears were already streaming down her face.
"Stop the car! Stop the car! My grandparents are still in there! I want to save them!"
" Miss Lee ! You are not a god! Going in will only lead to your death! There are people chasing you! Do you want to be buried with your baby?!"The driver yelled at her, hoping she would come to her senses. “There might be traps waiting for you out there! Your father is so mad that he won’t let you go!”
Lily suddenly froze, her face pale, trying hard to hold back her inner collapse. Her father Edward's sanctimonious look flashed through her mind.
The car was speeding up! He had to complete the task his brother had given him! He couldn't let his brother's sacrifice go in vain!
The hot air was like a demon being released. The fire caused the house to be twisted and deformed, and the brick walls to collapse.
Finally , with a deafening bang, Lily saw the flames rising into the sky! Everything was reduced to ashes in the flames!
The huge wave of fire almost overturned the car! If they left ten seconds later, they would all be buried in the sea of fire!
Deep fear and grief wrapped Lily tightly! Her soul seemed to be blown away! Her face was as pale as paper! Her pupils were dilated!
Only the tearful body was left, trembling! The hair was disheveled! Looking at the back of the car in despair and helplessness.
"No..." She couldn't accept it! Her hands clenched into fists little by little! Endless hatred wrapped her tightly!
That father and stepmother who married into her family! Not only did they want to kill her and her child! They also killed her grandparents in such a cruel way!
They are simply not human!
This huge change made Lily unable to bear it for a while!
Her abdomen began to contract! The pain became more and more severe...
Six years later, Silver City.
On Sunday, in the Yuzhu Villa area where every inch of land is valuable, a mansion covering thousands of acres is the residence of Raymond, the richest man in Yincheng.
At a young age, he took charge of Junsheng Group and became a leader in the industry, a legendary figure in Yincheng.
He did not go to the company today. After lunch, he sat alone in a rattan chair on the second-floor terrace to take a nap.
He was wearing white home clothes, and looked particularly charming under the warm sun. Unconsciously, he fell into a dream, his handsome eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and his noble appearance was intoxicating.
In the dream, he returned to the banquet seven years ago. At that time, he was plotted against and accidentally drank the drugged wine...
In the dim light, he saw a girl who was less than 20 years old. She had a delicate face, pure and beautiful.
The moment the girl was stunned, he realized that he had entered the wrong room.
However, the drug had already taken effect, and he forced himself on the girl, making love with her... no matter how the girl struggled, it was of no use.
In reality, a breeze blew by, ruffling the man's hair and waking him up from his dream.
He opened his eyes and saw a cup of warm milk in front of him. He was stunned for a moment before withdrawing his thoughts. He looked up along his arm and saw Butler Barton bending over and standing beside him, " Mr. James , your milk."
Raymond reached out to take the cup and took a sip, then cast his eyes towards the yard, "Is there still no news about the whereabouts of that girl?"
"Not yet," Butler Barton replied.
He sighed softly, "Then continue to investigate."
"Yes." Butler Barton replied.
Raymond has been feeling guilty for all these years. He was not interested in women, but he could not forget the feeling he had that night and the faint scent of Chinese medicine on the girl.
