Thinking about it, Chen Xi couldn't help but quicken her pace, but as she walked, she suddenly thought about what she had said to Tony this morning.
Chen Yiran was right, Tony was still so young, how could he know? But in the morning, he was really angry to the point that he couldn't reason to say something like that.
Since ancient times, illegitimate children had not been accepted by the world and had been loathed. But what was wrong with them?
It was not so much a mistake as a mistake on the part of those who made the illegitimate child an illegitimate child.
Every child was an angel. When she was young, she did not understand why her mother would take her everywhere, move from place to place, and then gradually grow up. She understood how those people looked at them.
Was it because the mother was unmarried and had children, while the child's father didn't know who it was?
When she was young, the words she heard the most were 'fox spirit'. She didn't understand the meaning behind the 'fox spirit' and thought that she was just a character from a mythical story. However, she gradually understood it later on.
No friend was willing to play with her because they all knew that she was the daughter of a fox spirit, so she was a little fox spirit. But even so, her mother never disliked her.
She lived a miserable life, eating leftovers, but her mother never scolded her. Later on, she thought, if at that time, her mother chose to leave her, perhaps she would have a very happy life.
After all, in her memory, her mother was a gentle and beautiful woman. She did not know why such a beautiful and gentle woman would fall for her father.
However, her mother had already been gone for too long, so she had no way of knowing what made her mother prefer to be looked down by the world to have the Duan Clan's child.
So what right did she have to blame Tony?
Instead of abandoning her, her mother had raised her, and now that she despised her son, she felt that she was truly inhumane.
It was her fault, it had nothing to do with Tony, it was her insistence on having Tony and making him an illegitimate child.
In the past, she thought that it would be fine if she only brought Tony, she didn't need anyone. But now, she understood, she understood that Chen Yiran's words also made sense. Tony needed his father, he wasn't an illegitimate child, so this should be the best gift that she could give Tony.
She had to admit that she could only accept Tang Hongbo being Tony's father, and that this was his child in the first place.
She understood the feeling of being looked down upon, of being chased down and called an illegitimate child. She understood the feeling of being looked down upon and loathed, so she would never let her son be despised like that again.
His childhood should have been carefree, should not have been contaminated by the adult world, and giving him a complete home was the best way for a mother to protect her son.
After Chen Xi thought it through, her entire body relaxed a lot. Before, she was tired from a lot of things, but now she just wanted to peacefully accompany Tony and watch him grow up carefree.
What honor, what status, none of this was worth a hair of Tony's head to her, so she decided to wait until this was over, and then she would do nothing.
Tang Hongbo told her to hide under her wings. This time, she might really do so.
She took a deep breath. There seemed to be a faint smell of food in the night air. She lowered her head and smiled. Perhaps she was hungry.
Once they passed the intersection, they would be able to get a taxi. Chen Xi hugged herself tightly and waited for the green light to shine.
It was already past ten at night, and there were still a lot of pedestrians on the road. Chen Xi looked at the passing cars and passersby, and for some reason, her heart suddenly panicked a little.
Perhaps it was because she had said all that was in her heart that she felt much better.
Therefore, when she stepped onto the zebra crossing, she didn't notice that there was a truck with two lights flashing as it sped towards her from the left. It didn't have any intention of stopping.
By the time she realised it, she was completely dumbfounded. She could only stand in the middle of the street and look in horror at the approaching car.
When the carriage was still about a meter away from her, at that moment when her life was at stake, Chen Xi suddenly felt a sharp pain from her waist, and her entire body was ejected out of the carriage. However, it was not in front of the carriage, but at the starting point.
She fell to the ground, feeling dizzy. Just what was going on? Had someone saved her? Or was he hit by a car?
Just as Chen Xi was muttering, she suddenly saw someone lying beside her.
"Hey, are you okay?" Chen Xi called him.
The youth lying on the ground slowly opened his eyes.
"It's, it's you?" Chen Xi was a little surprised.
"Did you save me?" Chen Xi asked.
The youth sat up, looked at Chen Xi, and asked in a low voice.
"Are you okay?"
"It's fine. What about you?" Chen Xi asked.
"No worries, I'll be leaving first." The youth stood up from the ground with a cold expression. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Chen Xi.
"Wait, what's your name?" Chen Xi still sat on the ground.
"Ah Mu." The youth replied very quickly.
Chen Xi smiled slightly. She had actually seen this somewhat cold and indifferent youth twice today.
"Thank you for saving me just now, Ah Mu." Chen Xi smiled gently.
"No need, this is what I should do." The teenager's head was lowered. Chen Xi could not see his expression clearly.
"What?" Chen Xi did not hear clearly.
"Nothing, I'm leaving first. Next time be careful." After Ah Mu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Ah Mu." Chen Xi called out to him again.
Ah Mu turned his head around, puzzled.
"Anything else?"
"I-I think I twisted my ankle. Can you help me get a taxi?" Chen Xi said somewhat embarrassedly.
Hearing that, Ah Mu frowned, he immediately went to her side and squatted down, pulling up her pants, he realized that her ankle was indeed swelling up.
Ah Mu was a little nervous as she hugged her up without thinking.
Chen Xi exclaimed.
"Ah Mu, you can just help me call a taxi. Put me down?" Chen Xi never thought that such a thin and weak youth would actually be able to move her.
"I'm sorry." Ah Mu said softly.
"Ah?" Why did you tell me you're sorry? " Chen Xi frowned and asked.
But Ah Mu kept his mouth shut, and didn't say another word.
She had just taught a lesson to a member of the Duan Clan at night and they were in a car accident right now. Luckily Ah Mu had saved her or else the consequences would have been unimaginable.
On the way to the hospital, Chen Xi heard Ah Mu making a call.
Her tone sounded very respectful, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
What was even more unexpected was that just as Ah Mu was about to fly over and save her, her phone dropped out of her pocket due to the penetrating force.
Then, without anyone noticing, the phone was picked up silently by someone, then it blended into the crowd and disappeared.
The wind by the river was blowing strongly, Rong Xuan leaned on the car body and slowly exhaled smoke, this was the first smoke he had smoked tonight.
The cigarette butts littered the ground beside his feet. He seemed to be tense, his eyes were like a bottomless black hole as he stared fixedly into the distance.
Only when an unfamiliar man appeared did he relax a little.
The unfamiliar man wore a peaked cap and its brim was very low. However, one could still see the sturdy figure wrapped under the trench coat. One could tell with a single glance that he was someone who frequently practiced martial arts.
The strange man walked to Rong Xuan's side and suddenly stopped.
"Where are the items?" Rong Xuan asked somewhat nervously.
The man took out his phone from his pocket. It was the phone that Chen Xi dropped earlier.
"Very well, this is for you." Rong Xuan took the phone, and then handed him a bank card.
The man didn't say anything and just accepted it.
"Is he dead?" Rong Xuan asked in a low voice.
The man shook his head.
He didn't say a word the whole time. Those who didn't know him would think he was a mute.
"Wait, you should know the rules, right?" Rong Xuan suddenly called out to the man who was about to turn around and leave.
The man nodded with his back facing him, then walked into the boundless night without looking back.
A professional killer like them didn't ask their employer, didn't ask their background, didn't ask for the money, and so on. But there was one thing, if they were accidentally caught by the police, then the killer would have to bear all the consequences, so the man just now was really a mute. As for why he was mute, because in this world, besides the secret that the dead could keep, there was another kind of person, namely mute, and that kind of uncultured mute.
They had been organized since childhood, and had become mute in all sorts of ways. Their methods were brutal and brutal. This organization rarely operated within the country. Most of them traveled to countries where wars were frequent, and most of them became mercenaries.
After all these years, the organization had gradually declined, and some people had fled back to their home country. Although they did not have to kill, they still had to do things like stealing chickens and dogs.
Rong Xuan opened the car door, took out the mobile phone card, and then opened the window as he forcefully threw the phone into the river.
Duan Wenyu held her phone, and worriedly walked around the room, her expression warped, making her wish she could rush to Chen Xi's front to kill her.
