Chapter 669 - Recollection
We chatted openly with each other.
I thought about what had happened. “Why did little uncle and Mai Qi bring Ma Ji back? We didn’t even have time to ask them.”
Jing Tian sighed softly, and he tucked my hair behind my ear. “I can understand him. In Tong Le’s Heart, family is the most important thing. If he had the feeling that Tong Hui was the mastermind all along, he wouldn’t have left at such a critical time. Plus, he has been feeling guilty towards you.”
I remained silent. Yes, my little uncle had deep guilt towards me. He felt that he had abandoned me when I was young. But thinking back, he did his best to help me settle down, so he really didn’t need to feel guilty. In any case, he had done his best to make up for it. He wanted nothing more than to give me the best thing in the world.
“Has he always known that the person who killed my parents was Tong Hui?” I asked Jing Tian.
Jing Tian shook his head slightly. “I don’t think so. He probably found out about it during the investigation. In the beginning, Dragon’s Gate spent all its efforts investigating the destruction of the Tong family. Later, I had to come back to China because something happened to my mother. When I went back, Tong Le was a changed person. He was very dispirited and addicted to alcohol. Gao Jing pleaded with me to help him. Under my half-persuasion and half-coercion, he soon gave up drinking. He promised he’d be an uncle you could be proud of. Then, we immediately ran into you.” “What? How could things be so coincidental?” I nodded.
Jing Tian smiled wryly. He nudged my head. “Have you forgotten about it? Who was the one who posted the message on the dark net? At that time, Tong Le was fighting with others. Before he could celebrate his victory, he was scared to death by you. He hurriedly rushed back and saw that you were leading your shambling group of people to fight against famous assassins. He was really scared out of his wits. During that period of time, I was focused on the academic work of M University and didn’t pay attention to the dark net. Raging Flame Alliance was resting, and someone took advantage of it. Because of that, Tong Le blamed me for a long time.”
I recalled my great achievements with a smile.
“I’m not a good kid at heart!” I concluded.
Jing Tian patted my shoulder lovingly.
I suddenly thought of something, and my expression changed. “Jing Tian, the person who wanted to kill me that time was handed over to little uncle, right?”
Jing Tian was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.
“Tong Hui and Tong Zhuo were the ones who sent the assassins that time, right? They didn’t want to kill me but wanted to capture me. In the past few years, you two have been helping me capture all the assassins who tried to come for me. All of them have been handed over to my little uncle, right? But I never heard about what happened to the assassins.”
Jing Tian furrowed his brows and sighed lightly. “Nanxing, Tong Le has his own difficulties. Can you forgive him?”
I nodded. “There’s nothing to forgive. One side is his brother and another side is his sister. He’s the one with the most pain. I believe that if big uncle wants to cut me, little uncle will stand in front of me and take that cut for me. His pain is heart-wrenching. When I see him in the future, I’ll tell him that he didn’t do anything wrong at all.”
