"What are you trying to say?" Long Xun asked calmly.

He wasn't fazed by Li Youbin's words because he was thinking that this was another way of Li Youbin to remain alive. He knew that Li Youbin was trying to cook up another story or lie and he didn't mind. He had the time and mood to listen to Li Youbin's story.

"I know you might not believe what I say but I don't care." Li Youbin shrugged. "Because whether you believe or not, the truth won't change. You and your father are the biggest villains in Li Xiaolu's life. And one day, when she gets to know about this, then she would definitely hate you Long Xun."

"She would despise you." Li Youbin laughed loudly.

"Explain!"

"Have you not wondered if Li Xiaolu has parents or not?" Li Youbin asked.

"Humph!" Long Xun sneered, "She is an orphan." he stated confidently.

"Really?" Li Youbin asked raising his brows. "Did your father tell you that or did you assume it yourself when your father brought her to you in a basket?"

Long Xun's narrowed his eyes. Grabbing Li Youbin by his collar he asked through gritted teeth, "How do you know that my father brought Xiaolu in a basket?"

Li Youbin shrugged. "Maybe because I was present there or maybe because it was I who gave her into your father's hand." he laughed.

"You're lying, " Long Xun stated as he left Li Youbin's collar and pushed him away.

Going back to his childhood, Long Xun began thinking about what exactly happened on the day Li Xiaolu was brought to his house by his dad. He remembered waiting for his father, talking to Housekeeper Qin, his dad entering the house hastily with a basket and then he remembered himself seeing the baby.

Picturing all of the incidents in his mind, Long Xun remembered that yes, Li Youbin was correct. He never asked how his father got the baby nor his father ever mentioned anything about Xiaolu other than she being his future wife. Long Xun was happy to have a baby with him so he, himself assumed that his father might have brought the baby from an orphanage or something.

"Do you remember?" Li Youbin asked making Long Xun open his eyes and return back to the present.

Seeing that mocking smile on Li Youbin's face once again, Long Xun realized that he was letting himself be carried away in Li Youbin's words. He can't let that happen. What if this guy is lying? He can't just believe Li Youbin's words like that over his father.

"You're lying, " Long Xun spat.

"I am not, " Li Youbin denied. "Li Xiaolu's parents are alive and they are searching for her."

Smack!

"Stop lying to me!" Long Xun roared as he gave a hard punch on Li Youbin's face.

"I am not lying, " Li Youbin snickered.

Smack! Another punch.

"Hehe..... Can't bear the truth already. " Li Youbin laughed.

Smack!

"Long Xun, I am not lying. Li Xiaolu was just a few hours old baby when your father stole her from her parents and after that, your father threw her into an orphanage, and that how's she ended up in my hands." Li Youbin informed.

"Don't you think that Li Xiaolu would be heartbroken to know this? Wouldn't she hate you for separating her from her family?" Li Youbin provoked.

"SHUT UP!" Long Xun screamed.

"Haha..... It's all your father's fault. It was your father who stole her from her loving parents. It was your father who destroyed her childhood. It was your father who snatched away all of her happiness. It was your father who is responsible for all of her sufferings, " Li Youbin accused.

"No, No, you're lying. YOU ARE A LAIR!" Long Xun growled loudly. He was so full of anger that he didn't think about anything and he started punching, beating, and kicking Li Youbin.

"MY FATHER IS NOT A BAD MAN LIKE YOU, " Long Xun yelled as he gave Li Youbin another punch.

"I WILL NOT HEAR A SINGLE WORD OF LIE FROM YOUR MOUTH, " Long Xun screamed as he kept on punching Li Youbin very badly.

"You will have to hear your father's truth, Long Xun. You do not know your father." Li Youbin cried out. Because of Long Xun's beatings, every part of Li Youbin's body was aching very badly but his heart was at ease. The sinister smile on his face didn't leave and he continued to provoke Long Xun by speaking or saying something against Long Xun's father.

"LIAR! IT'S A LIE. EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS A LIE!" Long Xun roared. He wasn't thinking properly. Anger consumed his mind like a virus and he went berserk. The whole room was echoing with sounds of chains clinging with each other, bones being broken, Long Xun's roar, and Li Youbin's laughter.

Under Long Xun's beating, Li Youbin looked almost dead. His body was covered in bruises and they were turning black and blue. From some of those bruises, even blood was seeping out and Li Youbin looked as if he only had a single breath left.

"Say, say you are lying." Long Xun sneered as he grabbed Li Youbin's hair and smashed his head on the wall.

"Ah!!!!!" Li Youbin screamed in pain followed by another laugh.

Long Xun raised his leg and just as he was about to kick Li Youbin, someone grabbed him by his stomach and started pulling him away. Whoever this person was, it seemed like he was very strong for he was already very successful in pulling Long Xun a few steps back.

Long Xun's mind was heavily consumed with anger and killing thoughts. All he could see was Li Youbin's mocking smile. He didn't know who was stopping nor did he care. Today, he was going to kill Li Youbin and get his chapter closed.

"LEAVE ME! I SAID LEAVE ME!" Long Xun yelled as he tried to remove to the arms holding him.
