imaginary lover

May hooked her fingers and showed a tired smile.

There was a light click from the gun barrel, and Through fell to the ground, but the bright red rose did not bloom on Li Yunwei's chest.

May threw away the unloaded gun with an indifferent face.

"I really want to kill you." She said, "But Abandoned Shadow and Zhisheng must also be merged. I just want to get the same answer now, and I hope you can tell me the truth."

"But it's okay to ask." Li Yunwei stepped forward urgently.He knew that the reason for their entanglement was about to surface, ushering in a turning point for resolution.

"Why did you kill my father back then?" May asked, stopping to wait for Li Yunwei's answer.

"Huh?" Li Yunwei felt puzzled, "What is this talking about? Why did I kill Uncle Xiaoyi?"

"It should be me asking you!" May roared, "Why did you kill my father at the reception that year?!"

Li Yunwei showed doubts on his face, and turned a little aggrieved: "So all these years, you always think I did it?"

"Who else is it? Is it me?"

"Neither..." Through stood up, "Neither..."

"This matter about Zhang Tao has nothing to do with you, so don't make trouble." May said.

"I said, everything started because of me." Through lowered his eyes, "I should be the one who has the most say, the shooting eight years ago."

"What does that mean?" May looked at him suddenly.

"It wasn't him who killed your father at all, it was me."

"Zhang Tao, don't make fun of this." May shook her head negatively, "At that time, you were still living in a Canadian nursing home thousands of miles away."

"I'm not kidding, May." Through frowned, but his tone was firm, "I was there that day. I helped you pick up your hat, at the top of the back hill."

May was unexpectedly calm: "No wonder Zhang Yinya felt a little familiar when she brought you in. It turned out that we met earlier in the morning, hmph."

May had another delicate little pistol in her hand, she lifted it up and opened the safety cover and faced Through: "I originally wanted to let you go, for the sake of siblings, but unfortunately, it's your fault for hiding It’s not good, or am I too alert?” May tilted her head, with a half-smile, “This gun is actually loaded with bullets, come, tell your story. The intruder who pretended to be my brother for so many years .”

"So you already know..." Through smiled bitterly.

"You guys... can someone explain to me what's going on now..." Li Yunwei suddenly got out of the way and was at a loss.

Through turned to him: "Sorry, Li Yunwei. I am indeed not May's younger brother Zhang Tao. But I didn't lie to you, I am Through, and that period of childhood was my childhood."

He then met May's cold gaze, and said to her: "I am Zhang Tao's half-brother, and I took his place after his death and have survived until now."

"Zhang Tao's brother?" May raised his eyebrows suspiciously. "It's really interesting. Maybe you can explain why there is no record about you in the Liquan Building data?"

"It's normal not to have a record," Through said, "because my existence has already been wiped out by my mother."

"What are you afraid of?" Through was forcefully pressed down on the bed by his father, showing a terrified expression. His father admired the brand-new welts on Through's shoulders outside the wide neckline with great interest, "I am your father, and I will be fine. I love you."

As he spoke, he stretched his hand down and tore open Through's loose trousers.

Through was whimpering in despair when suddenly the phone rang.

The father wanted to ignore the loud ringtone and continue to bury his face on Through's neck and kiss him, but finally stopped impatiently and reached out to press the speakerphone.

"Why did it take so long to pick up?!" Through heard his mother questioning sharply.

Through has never seen her mother's face, but only knows that she lives overseas in a place called China.Occasionally, I will contact my father on the phone and direct my father to handle such and such matters.

"I'm busy." The father wanted to continue, but was interrupted by the mother's voice.

"Listen Jack, in a few days you will send Zhang Tao to the address I sent you to learn weapon fighting. Some things need to be prepared as soon as possible."

"That..." Father got up from Through with some embarrassment when he heard the words, and Through quickly curled up into the corner with his arms around his shoulders, "Zhang Tao is dead."

"What?!" Mother's sharp voice made her ears hurt, "What the hell are you talking about?!"

"I got sick and died a few days ago, and I buried it." Jack lied.

Mother was silent for a moment, then said: "Anyway, this matter must not be known to Qiying. I only have this bargaining chip, and now I don't have any. Why should I stay here and enjoy the glory? Don't forget that your life depends on you. The support funds are being maintained. Jack, you have to find a way to steal the money, anyway, they can't find out that I actually have two children..."

Jack stared at Through carefully: "Hmph, there is no need to do anything. From now on, Through is Zhang Tao."

"From then on, I replaced Zhang Tao and started to live the life that should belong to him. My father sent me to the underground anti-government organization to learn all skills related to fighting, weapon fighting and assassination according to my mother's wishes, and made me a murder tool." Through Telling history calmly, as if it is a story that has nothing to do with anyone, but it is even more distressing.

"But... Has no one ever suspected it? A family that was supposed to have two children suddenly lost one." May asked.

Through shrugged: "Immigrants who live in areas with many native Canadians do not communicate with each other, and naturally no one pays attention to them. My mother is Chinese-Canadian. I met my Chinese-American father during my graduation trip. Later, they lived together in the United States and lived together. I was born in secret, but my mother left me to my father without saying goodbye. My father followed my mother's family address to find me in Canada. My mother was worried that the matter would be exposed, so she promised to provide monthly maintenance and rented a simple house in Canada for me. Father, so apart from my parents, there is no third person who knows about me. Later, my mother used Zhang Tao’s existence to obtain the so-called child support from Qiying. She never went to the foster care center, but mailed it to the residence for my father to collect. This led to Zhang Tao being persuaded to go back to the nursing center when he was four or five years old, and he was killed and buried soon afterwards. His existence was short and few people knew about it.”

"Your mother, Zhang Yinya, is a terrible woman." May said.

Through nodded forbearingly: "She has her own plan to gain more benefits, and what's worse, she originally wanted to use your father's own son to kill him, but because of Zhang Tao's early death, she replaced me."

Three years of intensive training allowed Through to master many skills.One day when I came home, there was a strange woman leaning on the sofa, talking to my father.Seeing Through coming back, the woman greeted him with a smile: "Through, I haven't seen you for many years, you are already so old." There was no emotion in that smile, cold and indifferent.

The father said this is your Mother, while urging him to take care of himself and set off with the woman.

"I have a task for you, come with me." The woman beckoned Through and pushed the door open.

"Inya," the father said suddenly, "what's the deal?" He stretched out his hand and rubbed his index finger and thumb quickly.

The woman smiled contemptuously, took out a heavy envelope from her satchel, threw it on the ground, and walked away with Through.
