The matter was resolved, and the pent-up frustration in my chest was released. I felt much lighter, and after a sleepless night, a wave of fatigue swept over me. After calling my boss to take a day off, I collapsed into bed.
I don't know how long I slept, but I was awakened by the ringing of my phone. Groggily, I answered it, and as soon as the call connected, I heard uncle Wang's anxious voice: "Liu Ming, something's happened!"
I instinctively sat up straight, but realizing I was alone in the house, I lay back down and yawned, saying, " uncle Wang, I'm fine. What could possibly happen to me?"
I could hear uncle Wang on the other end let out a long sigh of relief before saying, "Just wait for me at home; I'm coming over." He hung up immediately after.
I glanced at my phone screen; it was already 7 AM. Turning off the screen, I rolled out of bed, shook my slightly dazed head, and went outside to wash up.
When uncle Wang appeared in my small courtyard with his shirt buttons askew, I asked in surprise, " uncle Wang, what's wrong?"
uncle Wang looked at me still washing up and waved his hand in relief. "Just finish getting ready; we can talk later."
Seeing uncle Wang's flustered demeanor made it impossible for me to take my time. I hurriedly finished washing up and invited him inside. While brewing tea for him, I asked, " uncle Wang, did you encounter something that requires my help?"
My father had always hoped that my sister and I would study hard. I kept his teachings in mind, so whether in prison or after getting out, I worked hard at learning. With my father's intelligence passed down to me, I had also mastered some skills that others lacked. To repay uncle Wang for his kindness over the years, I had helped him with various matters.
In my eyes, uncle Wang's appearance indicated he had run into a tricky case that I could assist with. Without wasting time, he pulled out his phone and opened a video before handing it to me. When I saw the person in the video, I froze.
Noticing my silence, uncle Wang sighed and said, "Don't do anything rash!"
Ignoring him, I quietly watched the entire video. The woman claiming to be my mother was on screen, tearfully recounting her misfortunes and accusing me of being unfilial along with her adopted sons' ruthlessness.
The comments section was filled with venomous attacks against me and her adopted children; those condemning us seemed as if they wanted to crawl out of the screen and devour me alive.
After finishing the video, I calmly handed the phone back to uncle Wang. He looked at me in surprise as I maintained my composure: "Don't be impulsive!"
I smiled at him and said, "Relax! My inner strength is more than enough to handle this kind of attack."
To be honest, it would be impossible not to care at all. While I've experienced kindness throughout my life, I've encountered far more malice. As for revenge against that woman—I hadn't planned on it initially—but now I'm somewhat interested. Since she believes that the vast online community can help her, I'll lend her a hand; after all, I'm her biological son.
uncle Wang drove me to the company but still seemed worried and reminded me several times before leaving. Watching his car merge into traffic, I finally turned around and entered the building.
The company consisted of individuals with criminal records; the prerequisite for joining was being open about one's past experiences. Therefore, everyone knew about my family situation. As soon as I entered the office, people gathered around to comfort me while a few hot-tempered ones rolled up their sleeves ready to head out.
