Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei, let them live with regrets for the rest of their lives.

The profile reveals Chen Chen as utterly corrupt, a man consumed by greed and self-interest.

Lu Mingfei completely disbelieved Chen Chen's acting skills; he was a scoundrel who would even market a dead person to achieve his goals.

"Alas, she has bloodline depletion syndrome, a very rare and incurable disease with an incidence rate of one in a million."

Historically, records of this condition are extremely scarce, numbering no more than a hundred cases.

Lu Mingfei remained silent.

Chen Chen recalled: "Since my wife was diagnosed with bloodline depletion disease, she has become increasingly haggard and even tormented to the point of being unrecognizable, enduring immense suffering."

Over the years, I searched for renowned doctors everywhere, and even finding ancient dragon fetal blood only delayed the process.

Finally, his wife left, on a cool summer night.

At this point, Chen Chen's face showed both guilt and sadness.

If he hadn't been prepared, Lu Mingfei would have been genuinely moved by Chen Chen's image as a devoted and good man.

But even with twenty-seven wives, Prince Duan didn't have as many confidantes as you.

Lu Mingfei suspects that Chen Chen is severely cursed to bring misfortune to his wives. According to domestic laws against bigamy, Chen Chen's rule is that he marries one wife, one wife dies, and then he marries again, and so on in a cycle.

Nuonuo's mother died of bloodline depletion disease, which was an accident, and Chen Chen did his best on the surface.

Why did Nuonuo hate Chen Chen so much that she wanted to kill him?

Could it be...?

"What is the cause of bloodline depletion syndrome?" Lu Mingfei asked.

“It’s hard to say. It’s a disease of mixed races, and there are very few researchers.” Chen Chen shook his head. He glanced at Lu Mingfei and said, “Mr. Li thinks I caused my wife to have bloodline depletion? Please think carefully about what benefit this would bring me.”

Do you like the way Nono hates her father?

Lu Mingfei remained silent.

According to Chen Chen, there was indeed no profit to be made, but the possibility that Nuonuo's mother possessed an important secret and that Chen Chen killed her to cover it up cannot be ruled out.

“Mr. Li, Nuonuo misunderstands that I harmed her mother, and that's why she resents me. It's okay, I can understand her. This child has always loved being with her mother, and her mother's death was a huge blow to her.”

"Ah."

"You are a reasonable person. Now that you understand that I have no ill intentions towards Nuonuo, can you return her to me with peace of mind?"

It's not that I'm prejudiced against the assassin profession, it's just that it's too dangerous. Nono isn't suited to be an assassin, and I don't want her to live a life of constant danger and risking her life.

"She's back by my side, and with my support, she can live a happy and fulfilling life," Chen Chen said sincerely. "Nuonuo is clearly better off with me."

Chen Chen's attitude was undeniably sincere and his words made sense, which made Lu Ming insist that for Nuonuo's sake, he should leave Nuonuo at the Chen family's house and sneak away by himself.

“What you said makes a lot of sense, Mr. Chen…” Lu Mingfei began.

With a "bang," the door was kicked open.

"Nono?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback.

Fate decrees that if two people conspire together, it will inevitably trigger eavesdropping by a third party.

Nuonuo overheard Lu Mingfei and Chen Chen's conversation and became anxious when she heard the crucial part. She was afraid that Lu Mingfei would be swayed by Chen Chen and wanted to warn him not to be deceived.

But that's what the mind thinks, not what the body does.

He kicked it away and roared angrily.

"Liar! Get out of here! I hate you!"

Having said that, he ran out without listening to any explanation.

That's really... capricious.

Lu Mingfei was helpless.

He looked at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen smiled wryly: "Mr. Li is doing this for Nuonuo's own good. Nuonuo doesn't understand now, but when she gets older, she will understand your good intentions."

"Mr. Chen, have you misunderstood something?" Lu Mingfei asked in return.

……

Behind the Chen Family Manor is a separate cemetery where Nuonuo's mother is buried.

Nono ran over to check on her mother.

When people feel wronged, they tend to turn to their mothers.

The relationship between fathers and sons in East Asia is often very complicated.

One side establishes a tall and powerful image, which may be reliable, but some distance is inevitable.

On the other hand, the relationship between children and their parents may gradually change from one of protection to one of alliance, but it is still difficult for them to open up to each other.

But as the pillar of the family, the father often bears enormous pressure alone outside, unable to confide in his wife and children.

When children are young, they always idolize their fathers.

Worship is the emotion furthest from understanding.

Only when a boy grows into a man will he understand...

The father was lonely.

In contrast, the bond between mother and child is different.

Because of the different responsibilities they bear, mothers spend more time with their children as they grow up, and therefore usually understand their children better. As a result, children are more willing to confide their troubles to their mothers.

There's a saying that goes, "A child is a piece of flesh that fell from the mother's body."

When Qingwen died, she called for her mother all night long.

When people are in the most pain, they often subconsciously cry out for their parents.

Nono wished her father were dead, so she came to her mother's grave to call for her mother.

She discovered that after she left, the flowers in front of her mother's grave had withered, and the tombstone had not been cleaned and was covered in dust.

Before long, weeds will grow here, slowly covering the traces of the stone tablet, and it will be forgotten.

This means that a person has truly died.

Nono was a little sad. She took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped her face while saying, "Mom, I've come to see you."

"Have you been thinking about Nono?"

"Nono misses you."

"I should have come to see you sooner."

“Mom, I wanted to bring Chen Chen’s head to you, but I’m too weak and powerless to do anything.”

"So I hired an assassin, the best assassin in the world. He's very skilled. Although he's a bit cheeky and likes to tease me, he can also be gentle at times."

"He came too, but he betrayed me."

"Mom, if you had been cremated back then, I could have left with your ashes, leaving this cage that imprisoned you."

A cool sensation touched the tip of her nose. Nono looked up and saw that it was raining under the gray sky.

It was a rain that depended on the occasion.

Nono lowered her head, the shadow of her bangs obscuring her expression.

If tears fall at this moment, they can be said to be rain.

But Nono didn't want to cry. Why should she cry? Her mother's revenge hadn't been achieved yet!

Chen Chen killed my mother. Debts must be repaid, and murderers must pay with their lives—that's only right and proper.

If Lu Mingfei doesn't help her, she can only rely on herself.

"Once I kill Chen Chen, I'll leave this place, and I might never come back."

"Then where are you going?"

"have no idea."

Nuonuo turned around and looked at Lu Mingfei, who was a few steps away.

Aren't you going to ask me how I knew you were here?

"That's not important. Anyway, we have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"Don't be so pessimistic, are you misunderstanding something?"

"What misunderstanding? Weren't you persuaded by Chen Chen to leave me alone?"

"Wrong, completely wrong. Fool, I refused."

……

"Mr. Chen, have you misunderstood something?"

"My answer is no. I'm taking Nono with me."

……

"Why? Aren't you afraid of becoming enemies with the Chen family? We've gone deep into enemy territory, and every move we make is being monitored."

Following Chen Chen to the Chen family was truly the worst move I ever made.

Lu Mingfei walked up to Nuonuo and flicked her forehead with his finger.

"You're wrong again. I'm the best in the world. If I want to leave, no one can stop me. Similarly, no one can stop me from killing Chen Chen."

"But my sword needs a reason to be drawn. Now, can you tell me the reason for drawing it?"

"……it is good."
