Later, the police interrogated him as to why he chose this path of no return given his intelligence and success in whatever he did.
At that time, all he could think about was the image of his vicious stepfather beating them.
Although the author did not state the reason clearly, the hatred burst out from him through this scene.
It is enough to explain that it was his stepfather who was not mentioned much in the book that led him to this path of no return.
Looking at the future crazy boss, Chen Liyang took a deep breath and dispersed the panic in his heart little by little.
In any case, these five children have not grown up yet and have not embarked on the road of crime, so everything may turn around.
For no other reason than for himself to avoid being tortured to death, he had to change his image in the minds of these children.
If it doesn't work, you can only run away, but this is the last resort. After all, living in fear is also a kind of suffering.
According to the plot in the book, after the original owner was beaten, he did take it out on these children. It was also this beating that turned the fourth child into a disabled person.
Although the fourth child later became a master hacker and was worth hundreds of millions by selling state secrets, his inability to move his legs had completely ruined his life.
This is also the reason why the third child had his hands and feet cut off. This was to avenge the fourth child!
But since he came through, he naturally couldn't let this happen.
Looking at the two tomatoes on the stove, I guessed that this might be tonight's dish.
The original owner was too useless. The government sent subsidies to the child's account every month, which added up to a small amount of two thousand.
He only gives 20 yuan a day for living expenses, which averages out to 4 yuan per person. Not to mention nutritious food, even having enough food is a problem.
No wonder they all look so haggard, as if they could be blown down by a gust of wind.
Looking at this little kid, his face turned pale with fright, and his mouth trembled.
Chen Liyang couldn't help but think of the introduction in the book. The fourth son of the Zhou family had an IQ of 180 and was a computer wizard.
He has a low-key and calm personality, and his face does not change even when the mountain collapses.
He is a yandere young man who is like jade to strangers and has an unparalleled son. He was eventually sentenced to death for selling state secrets.
Who would have thought that such a gentle and gentle young man would still be such a pitiful little child.
Feeling the fourth child's fear, Chen Liyang tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible: "Don't be afraid, I won't hit anyone."
His low voice sounded like the whispers of a devil. They didn't believe Chen Liyang's words. Even if he really didn't hit them, he must be harboring bad intentions behind his back.
Sure enough, Chen Liyang's next words revealed his true purpose.
"Stop cooking tonight!"
Chen Liyang's original intention was to take them to a restaurant, but in their understanding, this was to make them hungry at night, which was also his usual tactic.
There was a hint of sarcasm on Zhou Chengxi's lips: "You were beaten like a dog outside, and you come home to take out your anger on us. What kind of man do you think you are?"
Although he is only ten years old, his mind is already different from that of ordinary people, and his words are more like those of an adult.
That's the way he is, even if he's covered in bruises, he still wants to bite off a piece of flesh from the opponent's body.
For this reason, he is the one who gets beaten the most in this family.
Because only if he holds a grudge against himself, his brothers and sisters will be beaten less severely in the future.
Looking at the person walking towards him, Zhou Chengxi was mentally prepared to be beaten by him.
Zhou Chengbei, on the other hand, was trembling and hugging the third brother tightly, whispering: "You... don't hit the third brother. If you want to hit, just... hit me!"
It was obvious that he was scared to death, but he still made an expression as if he was ready to die.
Chen Liyang did not speak, but slowly raised his hand. Zhou Chengbei closed his eyes subconsciously, while Zhou Chengxi looked at him. Even if he was beaten, he would not be a coward.
But Chen Liyang's next move stunned Zhou Chengxi on the spot.
He looked at the man with a gentle smile in disbelief. The hand that was supposed to be on his face was now stroking his hair in a doting manner, which made him forget to break away for a moment.
"You can't be so rude to your elders, but it doesn't matter. Who made me your father? I can forgive you for being unreasonable just now.
But we still have to be good babies from now on, you know? "
Now that he has passed through, he is no longer the original owner. What he needs to do now is to influence them with love, change their destiny, and at the same time earn a good future for himself.
Although they may not be used to his changes now, as time goes by, he believes that one day, the gap between father and son will be completely eliminated.
After listening to Chen Liyang's words, the tips of Zhou Chengxi's ears turned red. Chen Liyang had never touched him so intimately before, and even acknowledged his identity as his father.
You know, what he hated most in the past was this double identity, and he had never held a parent-teacher conference for them as a parent.
Now, he seems to be a different person, making him feel a little greedy.
But soon reason overcame that unwise desire, and he even hated himself a little. How could he forget the evil things he had done just because of a few words or an action?
Thinking that he had almost been deceived by him, his expression instantly turned cold, and then he viciously slapped his hand away: "You are not our father, and we don't have a father like you!"
Chen Liyang hissed in pain as his hand was slapped off. He now had multiple soft tissue contusions and would die if he was touched even lightly, let alone being slapped with such force.
But he was not angry. He could feel that Zhou Chengxi liked his touch.
It's just that his experiences over the years have made him seal his heart, and he can't easily trust those who have hurt him.
He didn't explain anything more. No matter what he said, it would be better to do it.
Noticing that the fourth brother's pants were wet, he changed the subject: "Take your brother to change his pants first. When your eldest and second brother come back from school later, dad will take you to a restaurant."
Looking at Zhou Chengbei who looked confused throughout the whole process, Chen Liyang wanted to touch his head again, but seeing Zhou Chengbei's frightened appearance, he retracted his hand in a sly manner.
Then, without looking at the two brothers' reactions, he turned around and limped to the bathroom.
Looking at the people who had walked away, Zhou Chengbei's eyes widened and he looked at Third Brother in disbelief: "Third... Third Brother, did he just touch your head?"
"It's just a slap in the face and a sweet date. Remember not to be fooled by these appearances.
How could a person like him change for the better! Zhou Chengxi said seriously.
"But why do I feel like he is really different? He never called himself dad before.
And when he saw that my pants were wet, he didn't scold me. "Zhou Chengbei looked down at his soaked crotch, feeling ashamed.
