Be Careful, Scum Dad! Mommy Is Back!
Chapter 272 - Chapter 272 Chapter 272 The Person Disappeared

Chapter 272: Chapter 272: The Person Disappeared Chapter 272: Chapter 272: The Person Disappeared “Sister Ning, Jing Zheng has disappeared.”

Lu Xining hadn’t returned to Jingzhou immediately these past days, as she wanted to investigate the Chu Family’s matter further.

She had just woken up early in the morning when she received a call from Fu Junhang.

Last night, he, Haozi, and Jing Zheng, a few people who hadn’t seen each other for a long time, had drinks together, after which Jing Zheng slept in the guest room at Fu Junhang’s place. But when Fu Junhang went to find him, the bed showed no signs of being slept in, and his phone was unreachable.

Fu Junhang was so worried because Port City wasn’t a good place for Jing Zheng.

After discovering Jing Zheng was missing, Haozi immediately checked the nearby surveillance footage and found that he had left the resort around two or three in the morning, and afterwards, there was no trace of him on camera.

Lu Xining skipped breakfast and rushed to the cemetery where Jing Zheng’s mother was buried with her people.

A bunch of pure white lilies were quietly placed in front of the tombstone, and it didn’t take any thought to know who had brought them.

Fu Junhang’s face was grave, “Jing Zheng might not be looking for the Jing Family…”

Haozi, still in all black clothing, wearing a hat and a mask, was habitually standing in the shadows out of the line of sight.

One hand on his laptop, his other hand’s fingers tapping swiftly on it, he quickly searched the surveillance cameras near the Jing Family and found no sign of Jing Zheng.

Haozi: “He didn’t go to the Jing Family.”

Lu Xining, looking at the bunch of lilies in front of the tombstone, furrowed her brow slightly and thought of a place.

The black Bentley raced on the overpass.

Heading towards one of the most destitute and impoverished neighborhood housing coffin homes in Port City.

Lu Xining recalled Jing Zheng’s past in her mind.

His mother, Lin Yan, was the most famous actress of her generation, but born into an impoverished family that favored boys over girls, with ordinary-looking parents, the siblings and brother all had ordinary looks that got lost in the crowd.

Only Lin Yan was like someone who had won the genetic lottery, possessing a face as beautiful as a celestial being. Only after looking through the family registry and other photos did they learn that her overly distinctive looks were inherited from her maternal great-grandfather.

In order to make money to support the family, Lin Yan entered society at a very young age.

A young and beautiful girl stepping into society had to face more challenges and malice than others, and at the same time, many shortcuts lay open before her.

To make money faster, Lin Yan chose the quick-earning field of acting.

She was lucky…

Her first role was that of a courtesan in a big-budget film.

Although it was just a minor role with only one or two scenes without dialogue, thanks to the film’s prominent crew and her youthful, outstanding appearance, this minor role made her an overnight sensation.

She got a substantial paycheck and a contract with a reputable company.

For her bloodsucking, wily family, the money she earned was no longer hers; it all had to be contributed for household expenses. Her parents followed her closely, pressuring her to take on more roles, and her siblings clung to her, leeching off her.

But because she refused to accept the unspoken rules of the industry, she was quickly shelved and went a long time without an income. Her monstrous parents actually resorted to drugging her and sent her to a big shot’s bed.

Fortunately, she woke up early enough to run into an unlocked room to hide, not knowing that the room’s occupant was an even more formidable figure. A melodramatic scenario unfolded between the two.

At that time, the man was single, and leveraging his powerful background, Lin Yan managed to survive in Port City, regaining her footing in the entertainment industry and breaking away from her locust-like birth family.

Lin Yan and that man maintained a relationship where they were not close in public but embraced in private, until his family arranged a marriage for him, and she immediately contemplated leaving, preparing to go abroad to enjoy her later years.

Yet, she was already pregnant with Jing Zheng at that time.

The “pregnant and run” plot did not play out successfully with Lin Yan. Before she could board the plane, she was discovered by the magnate and was taken directly back to a certain villa, where she was confined until Jing Zheng was born and never left.

And that magnate went ahead with the wedding as planned.

Regardless of whether she and he were boyfriend and girlfriend before the marriage, once he and his arranged marital partner got the marriage certificate, her life was inevitably tainted with the implication of 2+1.

That was the relationship Lin Yan despised the most, yet it was a stain forcibly affixed to her by the man she loved.

Thinking of this, Lu Xining sighed deeply in her heart.

If the story had only developed up to that point, perhaps Jing Zheng wouldn’t have lived such a painful life.

The magnate loved Lin Yan, but he loved power even more.

Thus, he preferred a loveless marriage that allowed him to climb the ladder of power, and he was unwilling to let Lin Yan go, forcefully keeping her imprisoned by his side.

The young Jing Zheng didn’t know the relationship between his mother and father – he only knew that the person living with them every day was his biological father.

Until one day, Jing Zheng’s father stumbled on the path of power, and Lin Yan’s existence was discovered.

Their opponents kidnapped her and Jing Zheng directly, and to protect her only child, Lin Yan endured the most unbearable humiliation of her life, yet she still failed to protect Jing Zheng.

The same horrors that happened to her were replicated onto her child.

From that day on, Jing Zheng became silent, distracted, emotionally sensitive, and Lin Yan, who witnessed her child go through such torment, loathed that man immensely.

Later, she found out that all of this was intentionally arranged by the principal wife.

After being rescued, when Lin Yan saw the man bring the principal wife to repent, she plunged a knife straight into his heart – the knife went in white and came out red.

There is a debt for every wrong!

Even though the disaster was provoked by the principal wife, the main culprit was still this man!

Although he never loved the principal wife, she did love him.

Just as Lin Yan was about to plunge the second knife to finish him off, the woman threw herself in front, taking the strike, and the bodyguards outside, hearing the commotion, rushed in and restrained her.

The knife missed its mark and did not hit the man’s heart, allowing him to survive.

Even though the man was saved, he was left with a chronic illness.

But he still didn’t deal with the principal wife who had harmed his lover and son, because he needed her family’s influence.

Lin Yan heard the man say, using the stab she delivered to his chest as their compensation, he hoped that they could continue living as before.

At that moment, she truly lost the will to live.

Especially seeing her son’s lifeless eyes, restraining his grievances because of her–her guilt, regret, destroying all of Lin Yan’s rationality.

One night, during the bodyguard shift change, taking advantage of their inattention, she jumped off the hospital rooftop. After her head burst open upon hitting the ground, she was utterly devoid of life.

Most importantly, Lin Yan’s eyes were open until the end.

After her death, the man went mad.

These were all the past events Jing Zheng told to Lu Xining, laced with all his pain.

But the story was still not over.
