When Chen Huifang heard the word Guoguo, her whole body softened all of a sudden. Her brows were filled with sadness and her eyes turned red.
Lin Yi threw over a photo, which was a photo of him and Yu Meng.
Only then did Chen Huifang believe it.
"Is Guoguo okay?" Chen Huifang asked with a sob.
"Of course it's better, really better, without a mother like you around." Lin Yi was speaking the truth. If he grew up with a mother who was involved with underground forces, who knows what kind of person he would become when he grows up.
It’s better to follow yourself.
"That's good!"
"However, I told Guoguo that I am her father and I don't want her childhood to be overshadowed by the loss of her father. If you want to go see her, remember not to expose her." Lin Yi said lightly.
Chen Huifang nodded. She thought this was a good idea.
"Tell me, why are you so cruel to abandon your own daughter?" Lin Yi looked at Chen Huifang strangely.
Chen Qiangwei smiled helplessly and said, "What mother is willing to leave her child? I was forced. The family does not allow me to have any involvement with Yu Meng, nor to visit my child. Otherwise, they will kill Yu Meng's entire family, and even Guo Guo will not be spared."
Lin Yi's expression eased a little after hearing this. He had always guessed that Chen Qiangwei must have her own difficulties, otherwise which mother would abandon her daughter.
Originally, Lin Yi thought that Chen Qiangwei left him because it was too hard for her to raise a child as a single mother, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Why would your family be so ruthless? Even if they disagree with your marriage, they wouldn't go to this extent," Lin Yi asked curiously.
"There are two major gangs in Donghai City, the Red Thorn Gang and the Dongmeng Gang. Two years ago, these two gangs were originally one and the same, called the Western Alliance Gang. Later, a Southeast Asian drug lord with whom we had a close cooperation was shot dead by your people. After investigation, it was found that my husband Yu Meng was among those who shot the drug lord."
"Those people are very powerful and have strong armed forces, including planes and tanks. They forced us to hand over Guoguo and me, and wanted to kill us to vent their anger."
"As my father's only daughter, he certainly didn't agree, but he was the head of the ASEAN Association and had to give them an explanation, so he withdrew from the ASEAN Association."
"Because of this incident, the ASEAN Society split into two gangs. One is the Red Thorn Society, which is currently managed by my uncle. It was he who issued the order that I could no longer meet with Guoguo. The other is the ASEAN Society, a new gang formed by the split of one of my father's subordinates."
Lin Yi's brows gradually furrowed after hearing this. He originally thought that Yu Meng's death in the battle was an accident, but now he gradually felt that it was probably related to the drug traffickers in Southeast Asia.
The reason why Chen Qiangwei left Guoguo was that she had no choice. She wanted to protect Guoguo and the Yu family.
"But Guoguo can't live without you as her mother." Lin Yi said calmly as he looked at Erguo's crossed legs.
"I have no choice unless I can find a way to regain control of the Red Thorn Society, so that I can return to Guoguo." Chen Qiangwei stared at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi knew that she just wanted to seek his help, and logically he couldn't refuse, but he had already decided to return to a normal life and didn't want to fight anymore.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you. You've found the wrong person." Lin Yi shook his head and refused.
