"Ada next to Dean Benjamin!"

"What?"

Yang Songbai almost jumped up. Zhou Ning was not surprised to hear this, because she guessed that the person who could only be taken away by destroying the academy must not be an insignificant character. And so far, the only woman who met the requirements among all the people she had met was that one.

"Why did your mother give you a foreign name?"

"Why are you asking nonsense? You must have changed it here!" Zhou Ning felt that Yang Songbai was sometimes very smart, but why did he act stupid sometimes?

"How did your mother get here?" After Zhou Ning confronted Yang Songbai, he immediately asked her question.

"My mother's original name was Wang Yun. When I was a teenager, she was spotted by a senior British official and forcibly taken away. I really don't know how she ended up here. When I was a little older, I went to find that official, but by then he had already been transferred from Hong Kong back to the UK."

Yang Songbai recalled the past, his voice was very calm, and a faint sadness filled the night. Neither Yang Songbai nor Zhou Ning interrupted him, waiting for him to finish what he wanted to say.

"So I started saving money to go to the UK to find someone. Later, Lin Ziqiang went to study in the UK, and I heard that his school was very famous and he could meet many children from aristocratic families, so I asked him to help me find out. He was very kind and never gave up helping. Finally, I found the British man, and I also found out from the servants of the British man’s family that my mother did not go back to the UK with them because his master was unwilling to handle complicated documents for a plaything. In the end, she was taken away by a guest of his house."

"His guest? Benjamin?" Zhou Ning couldn't help but interrupt and ask.

"Not at first. We went to many houses and asked for her. It took us many years before we finally found out that she was here."

Martin was not willing to talk about the details of the incident, because he did not think it was a glorious thing for his mother to have been passed down the hands of others for a long time, and this fact made him feel ashamed for a long time. Martin's father was still hopeful at first and tried hard to find her with him, but the deeper the search, the more desperate he became. In addition, Martin's father relied on his skills and was unwilling to stay in a place like Water Street for a long time, so he tried every means to climb up, and even intentionally or unintentionally brought his wife to show her face in front of the leaders, just to attract the attention of the leaders through his wife's beauty.

In the end, he got what he wanted. Those high-end parties in his eyes finally extended an olive branch to him. He thought he was very smart, but in fact, he was just a gift from his boss to curry favor with the British. He used his wife as bait, and others used him and his wife as fish food. By the time he realized it, he had already been eaten up.

Martin's father wanted to find Wang Yun because of his guilt. But he became more and more desperate and gave up. He quit his job and stayed in the small studio all day without going out. He even ignored his son. Martin hated his father's cowardice and incompetence, but he couldn't give up his only relative. Finally, he went back to Shuijie to ask for help from Siye. Siye couldn't take care of anything other than Shuijie, let alone the British. He couldn't help him, but he still helped his father find some jobs out of consideration so that they wouldn't starve to death.

"Your dad is such a loser, and he didn't want to look for your mom in the end. Besides despair, was it because he hated your mom in his heart?" Yang Songbai performed as steadily as ever. Not only was he good at talking, but every word he said was heart-wrenching.

“Impossible… My dad is not that kind of person…” Even the voices of rebuttal became weaker and weaker. It seemed that Martin actually knew it very well.

"Tsk..." Yang Songbai sneered, his tone full of disdain. "Don't pretend, we are all men, don't you know what men think? Your father may secretly hope that your mother will just die out there and never come back, so that he won't have to face his mistakes directly and can pretend to be dead for the rest of his life."

Yang Songbai's words were a little rough, but it was too rough. Zhou Ning couldn't help but pick up the cup and drink a sip of water to ease the embarrassment, after all, he was Ma Tian's biological father. Although it was dark, Zhou Ning couldn't even see Ma Tian's face clearly, but she could still sense Ma Tian's anger. His face must have flushed red at this moment.

"But it's nothing. If a man doesn't care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. It's just a little despicable." Yang Songbai was unwilling to accept this and added fuel to the fire again.

"How long have you been here?" Zhou Ning decided to change the subject. After all, Zhou Ning couldn't poke at someone's sore spot, and what did his father do to her?

"More than a month." Ma Tian was grateful to Zhou Ning for changing the subject and answering her question quickly.

"What are you doing here? A servant, a servant? Could it be..." Zhou Ning also took a look at No. 17 on the bed. Although Martin was not ugly, it was really cruel to put him together with No. 17. Could Martin be so good at this? Otherwise, people's tastes vary greatly. Or maybe he has other specialties!

Zhou Ning's mind was full of thoughts, and his facial expressions kept changing. Ma Tian quickly coughed and interrupted Zhou Ning's wild thoughts, explaining: "As a laborer, the lowest level."

“There’s such a job? Why didn’t they tell me?”

"Everywhere there are low-level jobs, and someone has to do all the dirty work. You are their son of God now, and you never see people like us. We are only allowed to work at night, and we are locked up during the day and not allowed to move around freely."

"It's so touching to find your mom!" Yang Songbai is really a piece of shit when he gets mean. Zhou Ning also admires Ma Tian a lot. He can tolerate this. If she was in Yang Songbai's place, she would have to slap him twice.

"Have you seen your mother? After all, if it's like what you said, there seems to be a time difference between the two of you!"

"I went to find her secretly!" Martin felt desperate when he thought of his mother's attitude at that time.

"Would you like to respect her choice?"

"Ah? What choice? Stay here?" Ma Tian was a little confused. Why did Zhou Ning react like this? His mother wanted to stay in this cult, shouldn't he try his best to rescue her? Why should he respect her choice?

"Have you ever thought that this place may indeed be a cult to other people, but it may be better for your mother to be here now than for her to go out. If you insist on destroying this place and taking her away, you will harm her instead."

"No, she's just been brainwashed. She'll be fine once she gets out, and I'm making money now, so I can give her a good life."

In the name of love again! Although Zhou Ning originally had no intention of letting this place go, she also had no intention of destroying it if it was not necessary, after all, Del was in the military.
