Qin An opened his eyes slightly. Under the dim incandescent light, everything in front of him was so familiar.
There was a hole in the ceiling, a 1995 Panda brand black and white television, and a wobbly dining table. After his sister died, he often came here alone to cook two sets of food and then daydream for an afternoon. This was his former home!
However, the current situation was not so optimistic because a kitchen knife was placed on his neck. The slight coldness on his neck and the subtle sensation proved that it was real.
This scene had happened many years ago. It was also because of this incident that Qin An was able to stand out in Deauville. This incident had chilled his heart.
"An, come here and write your name and print your handprint. Mommy will take the knife back! You have to be good!"
Qin An smiled disdainfully. Did he really think he was a three-year-old child?
If it was in the past, he would have believed that a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. Even if they were not related by blood, they were family members who had lived with them for at least six to seven years. Even if they were human traffickers, they should have been influenced by the so-called kinship, but...
"An! Mom is doing this for your own good! Think about it. You're a thirteen-year-old kid with such a large sum of money. You don't even know when it was stolen. I'll help you keep it safe for the future when you get married!”
Marry a wife! Did he need one billion to get married?
One billion was a number that could move anyone's heart. It was no wonder that they were so crazy!
Qin An didn't know what his biological parents did for a living. His memories of them were incomplete. The only thing he heard was the news of their deaths. However, they didn't send a photo to Qin An. Instead, they left a simple will.
"I will leave everything to my poor child.”
He he... He didn't know how those people found out where Qin An was. Even after he became an S-rank assassin in Deauville, he still didn't look for clues about his biological parents, because it was all meaningless. They actually allowed the siblings to be separated for so long and only remembered them before they died. They must not be very important to them.
Qin An felt nauseous when he thought about the bits and pieces of his life.
The adoptive parents treated Qin An very poorly. At most, they did not have to worry about food and clothing. He did not feel the warmth of kinship in this family. Instead, his sister, Qin Yage, was treated like a little princess. To put it bluntly, Qin An was the servant of this family, a cheap servant who was known as the son.
"An! I know you like Ya Ge very much! If you obediently sign the papers here, I promise that I won't touch her.”
The adoptive mother smiled in disgust. Her adoptive mother was very beautiful, and time had not left any traces on her face. However, her face was as ugly as a yellow woman's. Qin An had been beaten and scolded by her many times. Qin An had really started doing housework when he was six years old. With a small stool, Qin An could barely touch the stove, but a six-year-old child knew nothing about housework!
If she accidentally dropped a plate or something, she wouldn't be able to sleep at night. She could only silently tend to her wounds like a kitten. Of course, this was something that her younger sister, Qin Yage, didn't know. She thought that her brother did housework just to please his parents. She didn't even know that her brother slept in the living room at night after he turned ten because she thought that she had grown up and couldn't sleep with him anymore. However, would these adoptive parents specially tidy up a room for Qin An? The answer was no.
The house was not big, only two floors. From the outside, it looked like an exquisite small villa, but because of this, there were no spare rooms. There was only a study room. That was where his adoptive father worked, and it was also a forbidden area for children.
One day, Qin An sneaked into the study while they were not at home. He accidentally flipped over a folder and immediately panicked. However, the contents of the document made him even more dumbfounded. On it were the sales dates and amounts of the children.
He and his sister, Qin Yage, were also on the list, but they had been blackened. It was probably because the deal had failed.
Qin An could not believe it. He did not have the courage to believe this document.
He still couldn't believe the contents of the book until one day.
They were discussing in the room while Qin An eavesdropped at the door.
"When are you going to sell Ya Ge? She'll definitely be a beauty in the future and will definitely be sold for a good price. We've raised her for so long, so she should at least give us some benefits! Moreover, it had been ten years since that incident. The news should have already relaxed by now.”
"I don't think so! After all, you've been with us for so many years."
"Dead man, don't tell me you've taken a fancy to that little vixen!”
"How is that possible? I haven't even touched her for so many years. Of course, I like you the most!”
"I think An is really a treasure! He knows how to take care of people and cook. He doesn't fight back when he's beaten or scolded. He's a very good punching bag. He can vent my resentment over the years. Now, he even brought us a billion yuan in assets.”
Qin An's relationship with his sister had never been very good. This was probably because she felt that her parents did not love her enough after she became sensible. In fact, they did not love her very much to begin with. She thought that this sensible brother had snatched her parents away, so she had always been hostile to Qin An.
In fact, she had been very good to Qin An when she was young. When she was young, Qin An didn't have anything that she had. She would give Qin An candy, leave half of the cake for Qin An, and play with toys with Qin An. Up to this day, she had probably long forgotten about these insignificant things, but Qin An still engraved that little warmth in his heart.
Qin An did not resist because with his current strength, it was really difficult for him to match the two of them. Even if he had many ways to kill them, it was basically zero if he could not implement them. Moreover, his weakness was also in their hands, making it difficult for him to move an inch.
Qin An was being held with a knife and calmly signing calligraphy and painting. If it were any other child of his age, they would probably be so scared that they would pee their pants! He remembered that he had peed his pants when he was signing the calligraphy and painting.
"Be good." The adoptive mother smiled hypocritically and patted Qin An's head. Qin An only rolled his eyes and did not say anything else.
Qin An didn't have the slightest attachment to them. They could scram wherever they wanted!
"Honey, one billion! This is something we would never dream of!”
"That's right! Damn it, with this money, we don't have to work for the rest of our lives, we don't have to do those bad things, and we don't have to be afraid of the police anymore.”
"Honey, let's go on a trip!"
"Alright! This sum is enough for us to travel in space several times!”
"Hahaha!"
"Let me give you guys a reminder."
"An, what are you trying to say? It's written in black and white. It's useless even if you go back on your word!”
Qin An shook his head.”
"Why?"
"Because other than you, there are many other people who want that one billion!”
His adoptive mother seemed to have suddenly understood.”
"But, Honey, you still have a child in your stomach! It's been seven months."
"It's okay. Money and life are more important.”
Seven months, and she actually had a child. That year, it was a corpse and two lives. Qin An had always thought that her belly was slightly plump because she had put on weight, but he did not expect it to be because she had a child.
Qin An limped upstairs. Yesterday was the day he received the will. Similarly, that night, his adoptive mother had brutally beaten him up, causing him to be crippled. He would probably recover after a few days of rest. This kind of thing was common, and Qin An had long been used to it.
It was also because of their extraordinary treatment that Qin An knew the truth. Otherwise, they might have been kind adoptive parents in Qin An's heart.
Gently pushing open the door, Qin Yage lay quietly on the bed. Her sweet sleeping appearance made Qin An feel peaceful. She was wearing a milky white nightgown, and she was as delicate as a doll. Her small feet kicked the blanket away restlessly, revealing five crystal clear toes and well-proportioned calves.
Qin An smiled and covered her with the blanket. Then, his legs went limp and he sat on the ground.
" What a small hand..." he muttered. It was clearly a child's hand, and what had just happened was undoubtedly a robbery before he was taken away by Deauville's killers.
He still remembered Qin Yage's trembling body after seeing her adoptive parents killed by Deauville's assassins.
From the age of 12, he watched animals kill each other every day, and indirectly began to learn the basic knowledge of an assassin, various secret techniques, and how to assassinate ability users.
Natural selection makes survival of the fittest.
After that, it was the competition between humans and beasts. He had never been the most outstanding one among them, and he had a burden with him. However, he actually survived. It was really a miracle.
"You've really become a child." Qin An said as he looked at his tender hands.
On the white wall was a small calendar that was torn every day: April 4th, 2000. Today was the Qingming Festival.
The happiness of a new life!
At this moment, he could feel his sister's even breathing echoing in his ears and heart.
(Mina Sang, I wish everyone a happy Chinese Valentine's Day!）
