“They… who are they?” Lin Ya asked, his voice slightly trembling.
123 did not hold back and said straightforwardly: [Host, they are your original family, just in this world…]
Lin Ya’s father, Lin Tianyue, was a policeman who unfortunately lost his life during an anti-crime operation. Those criminals sought revenge on police families, and thus Lin Ya was maliciously abducted. Initially, they intended to kill him, but out of some cruel intent, Lin Ya was ultimately sold.
Later, the family that bought him encountered an accident, and Lin Ya was sent to an orphanage. Since he was too young to remember, he forgot his childhood, with only memories of growing up in the orphanage.
Lin Ya’s mother, Li Li, faced severe mental distress after losing her husband and having her son kidnapped. She was taken back home by her parents, but one day, after sneaking out to find her son, she vanished without a trace. Lin Ya’s grandparents, while searching for her, were killed by a drunk driver who fled the scene. The delay in medical assistance, due to the hit-and-run, resulted in their deaths.
Later, a comrade of Lin Tianyue’s came to check on the house and discovered no one was there before searching and finding out the grim reality.
Due to the absence of surveillance on that road, and because by the time they found the bodies five or six days later, the heavy rain had completely destroyed crime scene evidence, the driver has yet to be identified.
Lin Ya listened quietly, a storm brewing in his eyes.
[Your friend Zhang Zixin handled your affairs after your unexpected accident.]
“So, are you telling me to go back and seek revenge?”
[Exactly. All hosts return to their original world before going to a higher-level world, whether to fulfill their wishes or for other reasons is up to the host’s decision.]
Lin Ya glanced in the direction of the home from his memories and took a step towards it.
“How long can I stay?”
[The host has one month.]
…
“Young man, who are you looking for?”
The elderly lady with graying hair had been observing this young man for a while. Since she came downstairs, he had been standing below, looking up. Had it not been for his good looks, she would have certainly called security.
“Granny, do you know Lin Tianyue and Li Li?”
In this community, there are few transient residents, most having lived here for decades.
Lin Ya stared at the old lady, thinking for a long time, just as he was about to concede, she suddenly enlightened: “Oh, are you asking about the family on the sixth floor before?”
After contemplating for a moment, the old lady’s eyes widened as if she remembered something: “You! You look a lot like Xiao Lin!”
When Lin Tianyue died, many police officers came to express their condolences. It was the only time the community became a spectacle. Plus, since Lin Tianyue grew up here, the locals deeply mourned his sacrifice. The older generation remembered the incident clearly.
So it wasn’t long before the old lady recalled.
“My name is Lin Ya; Lin Tianyue is my father.” He was surprised to find that the name the headmaster’s mother gave him also carried the Lin surname.
“I knew it! You two look like you were carved from the same mold! Thank goodness you have finally been found; now your mother can rest easy!”
The old lady laughed joyfully, pulling Lin Ya along, wanting him to visit her house.
Lin Ya did not refuse.
The old lady poured a glass of water for Lin Ya and asked, “How is your mother?”
“My mom… is doing okay.” Lin Ya was momentarily stunned before responding.
In reality, she had died in an unknown place. After her mental health deteriorated, she had been confined at home. One day, seizing the opportunity when her parents were away, she ran out but was quickly targeted. The abductor noticed her unstable mental condition but paid no heed.
Many backward villages do not mind as long as a woman has children.
Li Li’s mental state fluctuated, and when she was taken into the mountains, she suddenly became normal and seized the steering wheel from the driver. Unfortunately, the vehicle rolled down the mountain, and no one knew about it.
Thinking of this, Lin Ya lost his mood. He had little time to waste.
Lin Ya soon took his leave. After he left, news of Lin Tianyue’s son returning spread rapidly throughout the community.
[Host, what do you plan to do?]
“Of course, I will take revenge.”
Dressed in a black trench coat, Lin Ya hailed a taxi straight to the airport, exchanged some points for money, and bought a flight ticket directly to South City.
The man who had killed Lin Ya’s grandparents and fled the scene had left Jiang City and was now the chairman of a listed company in South City.
He not only had a son and daughter, a happy marriage, but was also about to become a grandfather, with his daughter preparing for marriage soon.
Lin Ya felt utter disgust towards that family.
Because when that man committed the drink-driving accident, his whole family was present.
He wanted them to lose everything and be imprisoned.
Though he wanted to take matters into his own hands, this was a society governed by law. As the son of a policeman, he could not tarnish his father’s name by becoming a murderer.
Lin Ya had enough points to buy tools, so he utilized hacking skills and props like cameras to extract the memories from that family. He fabricated a segment of surveillance footage from over twenty years ago, showing how they crashed into his grandparents, how they handled the vehicle, and even recorded dialogue about how to deal with the hit-and-run, which the two children also knew about.
Lin Ya made sure to collect evidence of their tax evasion and bribery of officials.
Three days later, at the Xiang Man Lou Hotel banquet hall.
Lin Ya, wearing sunglasses, walked to the entrance, and upon showing his invitation, the people at the door immediately made way for him.
The banquet hall wasn’t very large, but the guests were either wealthy or influential. Lin Ya looked at the crowd and chuckled softly, “It’s better with more people…”
“Welcome everyone to my daughter’s wedding banquet…” Dong Dajin, with a prominent belly, stood at the top smiling as he spoke, with the bride and groom beside him.
While the guests were engrossed in the scene, Lin Ya silently slipped into the backstage and plugged his USB drive into the computer.
