Chapter 84: Murderer
Time went by and Liu Wei Xin grew up. The incident of his kidnapping which occured when he was just ten years old was already a faint distant memory of the past.
He grew up with the training and education given by the best tutors around the world. The education he received was worthy of a person who would lead people in future. Mainly he was trained to lead his family.
He was a fine looking young man who would cause girls to drool over his shadow. Combined with his looks and his lineage he was the heart-throb of many but sadly this guy didn't like to socialise. But still his parents were proud of him. His siblings looked up to him and were protected under him. Many youngsters looked up to him in reverence.
But no one knew what he actually desired in life. He only wished to be free like a commoner. He wanted to do things which he wanted to and not the things which someone told him to do.
For him, many things changed but what remained constant was his kindness and the infuriating ability to see good in all. One could say he was still naive and hadn't experienced the actual world. And that was true.
After that dreadful accident almost a decade ago, the Liu couple were vigilant than ever before and had turned strict with security. They didn't give him any chance to explore the world as it was deemed dangerous. Wei Xin understood their reasons and never once did he argue with them. He only wanted for them to worry less about him but also secretly wishing to be freed from it all. For his parent's sake, he was willing to stay in a cage for the rest of his life.
Fate had other plans. On the day he turned nineteen, Liu's threw a huge party.
Many influential figures of the country were invited. Many didn't want to come but they had to give face to the Liu family, so reluctantly agreed. But there were some with dark intentions.
Yi Qing and Liu Jian Yi were welcoming the guests. The warm smiles plastered on their faces faltered when they saw someone uninvited walking towards them. Yi Qing grit her teeth tightly and Liu Jian Yi frowned. But it didn't perturb the guest. He was all smiles when he stood in front of the couple.
Yi Qing: (glowering) why are you here Yi Meng?
Yi Meng: (laughing) it's my dearest nephews birthday. How could I miss it?
Yi Qing: you aren't his uncle! Did you forget what you did with that woman ten years ago?
Yi Meng was Yi Mei's brother, Yi Qing's stepbrother. Although Yi Mei abducted Wei Xin it was all thanks to this crooked man's planning and support.
The Liu's had bankrupted and thrown him in jail. Yi Qing had cut all contacts with her maternal family. She was not ready to let any kind of harm near her family. But it's difficult to get rid of cockroaches. The guy who had laid low all these years had suddenly appeared at the party. It was not a good omen.
Yi Meng: (complacent) big sis, let the past be past. You know that I've repented enough.
Yi Qing: you-
Her words were cut short when they saw Wei Xin approaching them. Yi Meng saw this as an opportunity to enter the party so he immediately clung to his 'nephew'.
Yi Meng: (fawning) Look at how handsome my dearest nephew is! You certainly take after your father.
Wei Xin: (confused) u-uncle M-Meng?
Yi Meng: (dramatic) and you remember me! My old heart feels so happy!
Wei Xin: (happily) where were you all these years? How have you been?
Wei Xin only knew that this uncle of his was very good to him when he was young. He didn't know the real face and his parents didn't bother to tell him- not even when he was cosying up with their son in front of their own eyes.
Jian Yi: (patting her back) now is not the time. We'll deal with him later.
Yi Qing: (fuming) he's not here for anything good. Why are you hesitating to throw him out!?
Jian Yi: look at Wei Xin. He seems so happy today. It'll just dampen his mood-
Yi Qing: (sighing) alright. Let's stay vigilant.
Jian Yi nodded at her. They knew their son, he'll be hurt but conceal it when in front of them after knowing the truth. They would tell him but when the time was right.
Thus, the party officially began and everyone wished a long life to the eldest young master of Liu's. Wei Xin followed the script and greeted every guest cordially. Everything was going on smoothly but seeing the Liu couple in the opposite corner of the room, Yi Meng approached Wei Xin with a gift in his hand.
Yi Meng: (all smiles) little nephew, I got a present for you.
Wei Xin: (eyes shining) thanks a lot uncle! What is it?
Yi Meng: (laughing heartily) Why don't you open and see it.
Wei Xin nodded and found an empty table nearby. It wasn't difficult as many were busy socialising. Yi Meng too followed him with a smug look on his face.
He excitedly opened the wrapper to find a black leather file inside. He looked up at his uncle confused but the man only nodded at him in encouragement. Wei Xin didn't waste any time to open the file and read it's contents.
The file dropped from his hands to the ground, it's contents spilling all over the ground. His face turned from confusion to shock to horror to guilt to agony and finally settled on disbelief.
Wei Xin: (dropping the file) h-how c-can t-this-
He couldn't bring himself to complete the sentence. His mind was a mess and face pale as paper.
Yi Meng: (leisurely) everything in their is true. You did kill your parents. (Sneering) You're a murderer.
Noticing the small disturbance the Liu couple rushed over only to see Yi Meng casually sipping on the fine wine and Wei Xin stupefied with a pale face.
Yi Qing: (worried) Wei Xin- look at mother! What happened darling? Why are you so pale?
Wei Xin: ...
His lack of reply scared Yi Qing. She started to panic and grabbed his face. Liu Jian Yi looked at the papers scattered on the floor, they were composed of news clipping and other materials. One of the headlines caught his attention.
'Liu Ming and his wife Yu Wan wan were killed in a car crash'.
Jian Yi didn't waste any time before grabbing Yi Meng's collar.
Jian Yi: (furious) you sick bastard! what did you say to my son!
Yi Meng: (chuckling) son? are you sure that he's your son? I just told him the truth! He deserved to know-
Father Liu didn't let the man spout any more nonsense because he punched him and the man fell unconscious.
The commotion had attracted a lot of attention. Liu Jing was smart enough to understand the situation and politely asked the guests to leave.
The party was effectively ruined.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Sanchi94
Sanchi94 Ray: you're a hateful person author! You gave Kai such great story and screwed me over!
Me: your parents are loving too. It's not my fault you ran away!
Ray: you made me!
Me: don't mind the little details.
Ray: ...
and for those who've read my first book in this series, Kai's sister is named Ye-Jin and the heroine of this book is also Ye-Jin but they're different people..?
Chapter 85: Interrupted
Back to the present:
Ye-Jin: (confused) who's Liu Ming and Yu Wan?
Mr Liu: (rolling eyes) you would have already known it if you hadn't interrupted us.
Although his words seemed stern he wasn't actually scolding her. His eyes were filled with warmth for his future daughter-in-law. He was extremely satisfied by his son's choice. Apples really don't fall far away from trees. This young woman did remind him of his wife back home.
Ray: (displeased) why are you scolding her father?
Ye-Jin frowned. She didn't want this father-son duo to have another argument as they had half an hour ago. She was already tired of their childish behaviour. She sighed and rubbed her temples. She couldn't help but remember what happened thirty minutes ago.
***
[Ye-Jin was shocked to know that Mr Liu was Ray's father. But given her mild temperament, she recovered pretty quickly. But it was Ray, who was having a difficult time curbing his anxiety. Part of it came from the fact that he was facing his father after five years. The little grey hairs splattered across the elder man's head was a clear indication of the stress he went through. He couldn't help but feel stifled by guilt. To distract himself he opened his mouth only to invite a pointless argument.
Ray: (complaining) how can you upset my woman, father?
Jian Yi: (sneering) why can't I? You've hurt my woman for five years already. This is just payback.
Ray was speechless. How could his father become this shameless that he dared to use his mother as an excuse?
Ye-Jin wasn't any better either. Her jaw had already hit the floor.
Jian Yi: (smirking) I heard someone tried to put their hands on your woman? Did you give them candy before sending them off?
He was mocking Ray's soft personality. He couldn't help it. All the anger and disappointment suppressed inside him was slowly coming out when he was faced with this unreliable son of his.
Ye-Jin: (chiming in) I took care of them.
Liu Jian Yi or Mr Liu raised an eyebrow at her defensive reply. She was protecting his useless son and his lips couldn't help but twitch. Also, he was curious to know how she dealt with them.
Jian Yi: oh... so how did you deal with them?
Ye-Jin: (hesitating) um...
Jian Yi: you can tell me, I won't judge you.
Ye-Jin: (reluctant) well... I made sure that the man experienced enough pleasure with animals and men alike before he was cut and died from blood loss.
Jian Yi: (impressed) you really did that?
He couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw her nod her head meekly. Indeed his son had good tastes just like him.
Ray: (defensive) stop it, father! You're making her uncomfortable!
Jian Yi: (frowning) am I? I was having a peaceful lunch with my daughter-in-law but you came and ruined it!
Ray: (surprised) who ruined what? You ruined my lunch plans with her!
He deliberately didn't mention the topic of his father's acceptance of his relationship. If he did, he would flush and stutter and that would result in more mocking. Ye-Jin almost chocked on her spit. The more she listened, the more absurd they were sounding.
Jian Yi: I didn't! I made these plans last night!
Ray: Well, I asked her first!
Jian Yi: (smug) I got her father's permission.
So many things were wrong with this statement but what father Liu wanted to rub in Ray's face was that her father himself arranged this meeting whereas the guy had barely spoken with his son. There were no other intentions.
Ray: I already have her whole family's blessing!
Ye-Jin couldn't take it anymore. She smacked Ray hard on his head. Since she was irritated and she couldn't vent on Mr Liu- it was a hard hit. Ray winced in pain and rubbed his head. He turned to look at her only to be knocked down by her fierce glare.
Ye-Jin: Finally you guys are quiet.
She couldn't hit Mr Liu but that didn't stop her from abusing her boyfriend. He had asked for it. Who told him to engage in pointless verbal battle instead of explaining the situation to her.
Jian Yi: (chuckling) So, when shall we set the date for marriage?
Ye-Jin: (glaring) not until you explain what is happening here.
Her glare forced the formidable Liu Jian Yi to hang his head down. Sadly, the Liu family men were all submissive to the females of the family. Be it their wife, daughter or daughter-in-law.
Ye-Jin had connected some dots but she still didn't understand what was the young master of the great Liu family doing in this small country as an idol?
Thus they started to narrate the story.]
***
Ye-Jin shook her head to rid herself of the flashback. She looked up to see the father and son still arguing with each other. Her palm itched once again but she held in the urge.
Ye-Jin: (cutting through their argument) so, who are Liu Ming and Yu Wan?
Her question effectively put a stop to the banter of the 'kids'. Ray looked at her sheepishly before replying
Ray: they are my birth parents.
Ye-Jin took little time to digest this information. She could feel the little pain concealed in Ray's voice. She turned to Mr Liu who nodded and continued with the story.
***
In the past:
The party was ruined. The guests had all left. The only people standing in the venue were Liu couple, their kids and the unconscious Yi Meng.
Jian Yi took a deep breath and turned to his wife who was desperately trying to get a word out from their son. He had been sitting like a rock for a while now.
Yi Qing had tears pooling in the corners of her eyes. She could guess what her son was going through. She held his head and pressed it to her bosom refusing to let go.
Yi Qing: (almost choking) don't believe what he says, baby. He isn't a good man. Whatever he said isn't true.
Wei Xin: (stirring) mom?
Yi Qing: (happily) yes darling!
Wei Xin: I want to know the truth from you guys.
The Liu couple looked at each other and with an unspoken consent, they faced their son before retelling the events which happenned about tw decades ago.

There was a little mix up in the previous chapters and it lead to story the missing out some parts.
it's fixed now and the actual chapter after 'detached' is 'Wei Xin' not 'murderer'.
Sorry for the confusion caused ?
