Urban Super Soldier King-Chapter 538: Unfulfilled Dreams

Zhong Huashan spoke quite plainly; he himself had killed many people. It was simply impossible for him to recall them all.

"My sister’s name is Mo Hong, she’s my half-sister, sharing the same father," Mo Lan suddenly said, her voice tinged with sadness.

Upon hearing this name, Zhong Huashan’s eyes widened, and then he stared at Mo Lan with his mouth agape. Clearly, he was very familiar with this name.

Including Ding Yongwei and Xiang Yu, it was their first time seeing Zhong Huashan with such an expression. Zhong Huashan was usually a seasoned man with a quite strong mental fortitude, but today, a single sentence from Mo Lan had completely disrupted his composure.

"You said Mo Hong is your sister?" Zhong Huashan asked incredulously.

At that moment, tears started to fall from Mo Lan’s eyes, evidently very heartbroken.

Seeing her father like this, Zhong Qin quickly asked, "Dad, who is Mo Hong?"

Only then did Zhong Huashan seem to regain his senses. He patted Zhong Qin’s head, shook his head, and said nothing.

"Why did you have to kill her? She was kind and beautiful. What could she have possibly done to offend you?" Mo Lan yelled, somewhat out of control, as she raised the gun in her hand again.

Zhong Huashan, looking as though his soul had left his body, just sat there blankly, as if recalling past stories.

Everyone had their own stories, including Xiang Yu. If he were to tell his own, it would probably take three days and three nights.

"Back then, I offended someone. He killed many of my brothers and threatened to cripple all of them. I wasn’t his match, so I compromised," Zhong Huashan, holding a cigarette but not smoking it, seemed completely lost in that past situation.

"I went to see him alone, hoping he would spare us." As Zhong Huashan spoke, he then lifted his shirt. A deep scar on his abdomen was visible, causing discomfort to anyone who saw it.

"This scar was left from that time. He stabbed me and took away my daughter, and he forced me to kill her myself," Zhong Huashan said, his face full of agony. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Hearing this, Xiang Yu suddenly perked up. If Zhong Huashan indeed had a daughter, then Zhong Min was definitely his child.

"What was the boss’s name?" Xiang Yu asked, somewhat urgently.

Seeing Xiang Yu lose his composure, everyone was momentarily stunned; perhaps Xiang Yu was somehow related to all this.

But soon Xiang Yu returned to his usual demeanor and sat there in silence. He knew that even if he didn’t ask, Zhong Huashan would still reveal it on his own.

"That night, I personally killed her because I had no choice. If it wasn’t me, someone else would have done it. I’m sorry to her," Zhong Huashan said with a deep sigh.

Seeing her father like this, Zhong Qin felt very sorry for him and comforted him, "Dad, it’s all in the past now; don’t think about it anymore. She surely wouldn’t blame you back then, it was those villains’ fault."

Zhong Huashan gave a bitter smile and then embraced Zhong Qin.

By now, Xiang Yu had pretty much understood: Mo Lan was Mo Hong’s sister. And Mo Hong had been Zhong Huashan’s wife; they had a pair of daughters.

In an unavoidable situation, Zhong Huashan had personally killed his wife, then gave his eldest daughter away to someone else.

"After I gained more power, I personally slaughtered that boss, but I could never find my daughter again," Zhong Huashan said somewhat sadly.

"Dad, are you saying I have a sister?" Zhong Qin also understood her father’s meaning and looked at him curiously.

Zhong Huashan nodded, seemingly in agreement.

At this moment, Zhong Qin suddenly turned to look at Xiang Yu. In the past, Xiang Yu had asked her if she had a sister.

"Xiang Yu, you must know where my sister is?" Zhong Qin looked at Xiang Yu with eagerness.

Zhong Huashan, however, looked at Xiang Yu with some surprise. He had never told anyone his own story before, and how could Xiang Yu know that he had another daughter?

"I’m sorry, I don’t know," Xiang Yu said calmly.

By now, he had almost confirmed that Zhong Min was Zhong Huashan’s daughter, just perhaps she no longer remembered having this father.

By now, Mo Lan also roughly knew the details of the situation. He knew that his sister’s death was definitely connected to the underworld, and the reason she stayed by Zhong Huashan’s side was in the hope that one day, she could destroy the organization Zhong Huashan had worked so hard to build.

He wanted to avenge his sister; if Zhong Huashan had not been involved in the underworld, his sister would not have died. He hated Zhong Huashan and the underworld.

"You knew her?" Zhong Huashan was not easy to deceive; he had become shrewd with age. When he saw the expression on Xiang Yu’s face just now, he knew that Xiang Yu must have met his daughter.

Xiang Yu knew he couldn’t deceive him and just looked at him without speaking. A flicker of light passed through Zhong Huashan’s eyes, uncertain what he was thinking.

After all, this was not the time to talk about this issue, so Zhong Huashan also chose to remain silent and did not question Xiang Yu further.

By now, Mo Lan had come to know all the truths. Her whole life she had tried every means to avenge her sister, wasting her youth and spending her every effort.

In the end, she hadn’t been able to bring herself to do it, but being able to see Zhong Huashan’s organization crumble was a consolation. Sadly, though Zhong Huashan’s organization had collapsed, there would still be Ding Yongwei, and if not Yongwei, then Honglei would follow.

The cycle seemed never-ending, and poor Mo Lan’s lifelong dream ultimately would not come true.

Xiang Yu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Mo Lan was a kind-hearted person, but she had chosen the wrong path, and the price was too high.

As everyone remained silent, Mo Lan suddenly started to laugh wildly, her laughter somber as if it summed up all the helplessness of her life.

Everyone looked at her, filled with a sense of poignant resignation. As they all pondered the situation, Mo Lan suddenly held a gun to her own head.

"Don’t!" Seeing this, Zhong Huashan was the first to react and quickly charged over.

When he learned that Mo Lan was Mo Hong’s younger sister, Zhong Huashan’s feelings were complicated. He owed Mo Hong too much and wanted to make amends through her sister.

But if Mo Lan were to leave this way, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Back then, with Mo Hong, he had been helpless because, despite his involvement in the underworld, he lacked the power to protect his own wife. And now, although he was a leader, he still could not protect his wife’s younger sister.

Xiang Yu’s hand was already on the dagger, and he could save her. But even if he saved her, what was the point? Mo Lan’s heart was already dead; living in this world would only bring her more pain. It might be better to let go now.

With these thoughts, Xiang Yu let go of his hand. He could save her life, but not her heart. After so many years of sacrifice and endurance, how many could truly understand her pain?

"Aunt Mo Lan, please don’t..." Zhong Qin finally stood up and rushed towards Mo Lan.

Mo Lan had always treated her well, just like a mother. Zhong Qin had never met her own mother, but in her, she felt that kind of presence...
