Wu Xiufan's voice was cold as ice. "Do you know what he did to Yu Ze?"
Yu Cheng glanced at Alex, who was sitting quietly to the side. He hesitated before replying softly, "I know."
"Really?" Wu Xiufan's eyes narrowed, his gaze intense. "Since you know, why don't you tell me? What kind of punishment would you give someone who asked a group of men to rape his own brother?"
Yu Cheng's face paled. He remained silent, unable to find the words.
"Yu Xuan is your son, but isn't Yu Ze also your son?" Wu Xiufan demanded. "Just because he's no longer the heir, you allow your younger son to humiliate him?"
Yu Cheng lowered his head, his voice filled with pain. "I wasn't strict enough with him," he admitted.
"You weren't strict enough?" Wu Xiufan scoffed. "You stood by while Yu Ze was sent to the distribution center, sold like property. And you protected the instigator, even knowing Yu Ze was almost raped."
Yu Cheng's eyes widened in shock. He was unaware that Yu Ze had been employed at the distribution center.
Had he ever truly cared about Yu Ze? The realization hit him like a ton of bricks, leaving him stunned and ashamed.
Yu Cheng had initially assumed that Yu Ze and Wu Xiufan were lovers, dismissing the rumor that he had gifted his son to Wu Xiufan in exchange for favors. He believed that if Yu Ze desired a relationship with Wu Xiufan, it was his own choice. However, he never imagined that Yu Ze was actually Wu Xiufan's servant, purchased from the Covenantor Distribution Center.
As the truth dawned on him, Yu Cheng felt a wave of disbelief and shame wash over him. He had been so blinded by his own pride and prejudice that he had failed to see the reality of his son's situation.
Yu Cheng was consumed by a mix of shame, guilt, and anger. He had failed his son, allowed him to suffer in silence. The realization was a bitter pill to swallow, a harsh reminder of his own shortcomings as a father.
Wu Xiufan, on the other hand, felt a surge of protectiveness towards Alex. He had been so focused on the larger picture, the fight against injustice, that he had overlooked the personal toll it had taken on Alex.
He knew he had to make things right, not just for Alex's sake but for his own peace of mind. He would ensure that Yu Xuan faced the consequences of his actions, and he would protect Alex from any further harm.
As the two men sat in silence, their minds raced with thoughts and emotions. The weight of the situation hung heavy in the air, a palpable tension that filled the room.
Finally, Wu Xiufan broke the silence. "I will not allow this to happen again," he declared, his voice firm. "I will protect Alex, no matter what it takes."
Yu Cheng looked up, his eyes filled with a mixture of relief and gratitude. He knew that he had made a terrible mistake, and he was willing to do whatever it took to rectify it.
"I will help you," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "I will ensure that Yu Xuan faces the consequences of his actions."
Wu Xiufan nodded, his heart filled with a sense of purpose. Together, they would fight for justice, for the protection of the innocent.
