Chapter 703: The Ins and Outs of Past Events

time…and so on. Tang Mo's thoughts flashed in the night: "What if I just pry open Lu Yin's mouth..." 。Hypnosis... How could he have forgotten this method 。As long as you find a top-level, senior hyp...Chapter 703: The ins and outs of what happened back then

Although he has forgotten about these past few years now, it doesn't mean he will forget them forever. The reason she had to leave him and his father all those years ago, even if she doesn't say anything now, he will eventually find out.

So, it might as well be an opportunity to tell him about what happened back then. That way, she wouldn't always be so scared.

"Back then, Sima Xiaotang didn't intend for me to live to see you..." An Xiaotu took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, easing the discomfort in her heart, before continuing,

"You were the top commander of the narcotics division back then, and your brother died at the hands of drug dealers; Si Kong Shaotang is very cautious. He bound many explosives on me and even felt unsafe. He was afraid that you would find me unnoticed and rescue me; so, he injected me with his latest research, a new type of poison, in a large dose, enough to be fatal. Even if you rescued me, once the toxicity of the poison in my body took effect, you could only watch me die... cough cough cough..."

An Xiaotu choked back tears as she spoke, remembering those things from the past. Suddenly, she was caught off guard by a mouthful of saliva and started coughing uncontrollably.

After a while, she continued, “As I said before, after Sirkong Shao went out with his men, Yisheng and his friend snuck in to save me. They also delayed the security footage time; Yisheng guessed that Sirkong Shao might have gone to see you. After saving me, he wanted to wait for you there or take me to find you.”

"When a person is near death, they can feel their end approaching. At that time, I felt like I was dying and knew I couldn't hold on any longer. I begged Yisheng to take me away and not let you find me, not let you know that I had died; later, Yisheng used all his medical knowledge and every method he could think of, for three days and two nights, before managing to save me."

At that time, she was completely in a coma. During the days I-Sheng rescued her, she was unconscious.

It was only later that she asked Yisheng, and Yisheng told her.

"And then Why didn't you come back" Tang Yucheng asked persistently.

Since Yisheng has already saved her from the Grim Reaper, why doesn't she come back

"The new type of drug that Sikong Shaotang injected me with is highly addictive and has severely damaged my body; back then, Yi Sheng only temporarily rescued me. After that, whenever the addiction hit, I nearly died several times."

An Xiaotu pressed her face against his chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat. She hugged him tightly with both hands, feeling much more at ease.

After catching my breath, I said again, “When my body got a little better, I didn't dare go back. I was afraid that if I went back to you and had a relapse, you would see me in so much pain and wouldn't be able to resist getting some drugs to help me ease the pain. Even if you wouldn't do that, I was afraid that my addiction would take control of my reason and make me do something that would make you completely disappointed in me.”

In front of loved ones, it's impossible to be that strong, and you can't help but feel dependent.

"I wouldn't." Tang Yucheng retorted her words unpleasantly.

If you give her drugs when she's having a craving, it's like pushing her further into the abyss.

"I know you won't," she softly echoed, her eyes still red-rimmed.

If you were by my side, I might not be so strong; at first, I had moderate depression, especially during drug cravings, I thought about suicide many times, but every time I thought of you and Annian, I felt hope again. Every time a drug craving hit, Yisheng kept telling me to think of Annian, saying he was still so young, other children had their mothers, Annian was also waiting for me to go back. Every time I almost couldn't hold on, I thought of Annian and you.

"Things got much better later, but I still didn't dare to come back, just afraid you'd notice; because your elder brother was killed by a drug dealer, I'm afraid you'd know about the poison in my body, afraid that when it takes hold, you'd see me suffering, and upon seeing me too much, you'd feel disgust. I don't want to...I don't want to ruin the good image I have in your heart."

She was almost better, but An Pingtong poisoned her again, awakening the remaining poison addiction in her body... All her years of suffering and forbearance were in vain.

I was filled with hatred, yet I also let out a sigh of relief.

Once she had said everything, she would no longer be afraid, no longer worry about him finding out.

The poison that Si Kong Shaotang injected her with that year wasn't just physical, it was psychological too, an addiction she couldn't shake.

During her detox period, Yisheng also considered using a small amount of drugs to alleviate her pain when her addiction flared up, just like a halfway house, gradually reducing the dosage. However, she was firmly rejected by him.

But every time she had a withdrawal, she gritted her teeth and got through it. Yisheng said he had never met anyone with such unwavering willpower before.

Her determination stemmed from An Nian and the man in front of her.

She longed to be back with them, deeply and intensely, every day and night, every moment she thought about being reunited with them.

It was this obsession that kept her going. Even when drugs were placed before her, she remained unmoved. In her eyes, they were poisonous and lethal; she had no desire to die at all.

She even hated intensely why there were such evil and corrupt things in this world, destroying all that was beautiful.

"When I was excavating that ruin, I found fragments of your bloody clothes..." Tang Yucheng voiced the question in his heart.

If it wasn't for those blood-stained fabric fragments, if his younger brother hadn't secretly opened the safe and taken those fabric fragments for DNA testing, if he hadn't overheard his younger brother talking to their mother...

His unwavering belief that she was still alive would not crumble.

An Xiaotu loosened her hands from around his waist, hooking them onto his neck instead and kissing his thin lips.

"I only explained then, that Master Sikong had tortured me, especially my back. The wounds were still bleeding, and there were still explosives under my clothes. Yi Sheng and his friend had to cut off my clothes to save me; I thought that as long as you didn't find my body, you would believe I was still alive and would think that one day I would come back. But I never expected that tattered piece of clothing would lead you to believe I was dead."

If she knew that dress would cause him to misunderstand, she wouldn't have left it at the scene.

After understanding the ins and outs of what happened that year, Tang Yucheng didn't ask any more questions.

He held her tightly in his arms, choking back tears. "Thank goodness, thank goodness you didn't die, thank goodness you're back, my bunny."

"Well, I'm back." An Xiaotu sniffed, tears still brimming in her eyes, as she spoke with a smile.

She finally returned to him and Annian completely and without reservation.

Finally — the rain stopped and the sun came out.。Now that Little An has boarded her youngest son's ship, there's no getting off. 。Tang An Ge refused to say, “No need, I’m still studying and want to keep a low profile, including my marriage with Lia...
