Free Web NovelChapter 410: Chapter 134: Xiao Huo Zui Is a Frog Trapped at the Bottom of the Well (Part 3)
Ye Mingluo’s heart was stifled by the pain.
After returning home that day, Ye Mingluo quietly made a call to report Huo Wen’an’s mother. The police came to make a home visit, but in the end, they didn’t intervene.
Because it was considered a family matter, they couldn’t get involved.
After the police left, Mrs. Huo mistakenly thought it was Huo Wen’an who reported her, and in her fury, she beat Huo Wen’an again.
That time, Huo Wen’an was beaten so badly that he limped.
Knowing he couldn’t save the child who had fallen into a deep well, Ye Mingluo, with a heavy heart, could only quietly send some things to Huo Wen’an, mostly worthless practice books and exam papers.
But what he considered worthless, to Huo Wen’an, was priceless.
Every time Ye Mingluo traveled abroad, he would buy a blessing ribbon from a local temple to pray for Huo Wen’an. He’d then buy a postcard and write "A Zui to receive."
He sincerely hoped that the young boy in the small town could fly out and become an eagle soaring in the blue sky.
Later, Ye Mingluo went abroad to study medicine, which took several years, and during this period, his contact with Huo Wen’an became increasingly infrequent.
Once he completed his studies and returned, he immediately went to Cangshan Town to find Huo Wen’an, wanting to tell him all about the outside world, to broaden his horizons and inspire him to move forward.
But he found nothing.
The elderly in-laws told him the madman from the Huo Family had died, the foolish girl had gone missing, and Huo Zui, to avenge his bullied sister, had committed murder and gone to jail. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Hearing this tragic news, Ye Mingluo couldn’t sleep all night.
The next day, he began to investigate Huo Wen’an’s case, only to find that Huo Wen’an was missing.
He wasn’t in any prison in Xia Country!
He saw Huo Wen’an again four years ago.
That year, Huo Canghai personally called Ye Mingluo, hoping he could come to Divine Concealment Island to treat his grandson.
Though Ye Mingluo was known as the "Ghost Hand Divine Doctor," he had heard the sinister rumors about Divine Concealment Island. He had no desire to enter that den of dragons and tigers, so he refused outright.
Yet, Huo Canghai still unilaterally sent images of Huo Wen’an’s condition to Ye Mingluo’s email.
Taking it as a curiosity, Ye Mingluo opened his email to see what strange illness the Young Helmsman had. After over a decade, seeing the man in the video, Ye Mingluo recognized him immediately.
He never would have imagined that the little A Zui from Cangshan Town was actually the Living Yama of Divine Concealment Island, Huo Wen’an.
Ye Mingluo still clearly remembers when he went to Divine Concealment Island and was recognized by Huo Wen’an; the look in Huo Wen’an’s eyes was both joyous and awkward.
In the past, he always looked up at him with admiring eyes and called him Brother Mingluo in a muffled voice. This time, he seriously addressed him as: "Doctor Ye."
Ye Mingluo had achieved his dream and became a world-renowned all-rounder surgeon.
And Huo Zui?
He endured endless humiliation and suffering, transforming into the dreaded Living Yama.
He seemed to be in glory, but in reality, he had fallen into a deeper hell.
After reminiscing over his entire history and bond of friendship with Huo Wen’an, Ye Mingluo felt an overwhelming urge to cry.
He questioned the world: "Why is it that the most innocent has to endure the harshest retribution?"
Xu Xingguang could not answer his question.
Xu Xingguang also thought of the room on the second floor of the building in Cangshan Town, the dog chain fixed to the wall, the crisscrossed scars on Huo Wen’an’s back, and the humiliating word ’slave’.
After a moment, Xu Xingguang burst out, "Damn fate!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Mingluo was taken aback, then joined Xu Xingguang in cursing fate and cursing the heavens.
After venting, both felt slightly better.
"I can’t understand; A Zui is the child of the Old Sir and the Princess, so how was he mistaken by Huo Qinyou as the child of Huo Yunsheng and Mrs. Huo?"
Ye Mingluo asked Xu Xingguang: "Master, what do you think happened?"
"I do know something," Xu Xingguang first related the hidden past she heard in Moon Palace today to Ye Mingluo without reservation.
After speaking, Xu Xingguang shared her conjecture. "In my opinion, it was Huo Wei who deliberately swapped Old Sir Huo’s child." freewёbnoνel.com
Ye Mingluo, taking into account what Xu Xingguang had just explained, carefully thought through the whole process and understood Huo Wei’s purpose in doing so.
He revealed the truth in a single sentence: "Huo Wei hated Old Sir Huo."
Encouraged by Xu Xingguang’s gaze, Ye Mingluo further dissected the truth, "Old Sir Huo said that Huo Jingchen, Huo Wei’s father, died to save him. However, that’s just Old Sir Huo’s version of the story. As for what the truth really is, we don’t know."
