Yu Cheng's face flushed with shame and anger. He couldn't believe he had been so ignorant. He was aware of the Covenantor Distribution Center's reputation, yet he had failed to see the connection. His own son, once the heir to the Yu family, had been treated as nothing more than property, publicly auctioned off like an object.
If Alex hadn't been taken in by Wu Xiufan, Yu Ze would have suffered the same fate. The humiliation, the abuse, the utter disregard for his humanity – it was a fate too horrific to contemplate.
The Yu family, desperate to maintain their reputation, would have been forced to disown Yu Ze, leaving him to fend for himself.
The weight of his realization crushed Yu Cheng, his body trembling with the force of his emotions. He had failed his son, his family. The shame was unbearable.
Alex's gaze was cold as he stared at Yu Cheng, his eyes filled with a mixture of contempt and pity. Yu Cheng's mistake extended far beyond his indifference towards Yu Ze. Even after Yu Ze's tragic death, Yu Cheng remained oblivious to the truth.
The eldest son he had always admired had become a covenantor and was ultimately killed because of his own wife and younger son.
Alex decided to keep this information hidden for now, waiting for the right moment to reveal the full extent of Yu Cheng's family's betrayal.
As Alex's mind raced with thoughts of revenge, he felt a gentle squeeze on his hand. Turning, he met Wu Xiufan's serious gaze.
"Yu Cheng," Wu Xiufan said, his voice cold. "From today on, Alex will have nothing to do with your family."
Yu Cheng's heart sank, realizing the gravity of his actions. He had not only lost his son but also the respect and affection of the man he had once admired.
Yu Cheng's voice was firm. "No. Yu Ze is a member of the Yu Family. That will never change."
Wu Xiufan's response was equally resolute. "Once he took the name 'Alex' and became mine, the Yu Family lost all claim to him. I brought you here to sever your ties with him."
Wu Xiufan had initially hoped to give Yu Cheng a chance to make amends, to offer Alex some comfort and support from his family. However, Yu Cheng's actions had shattered any hope of reconciliation.
The meeting had revealed Yu Cheng's indifference towards Alex and his favoritism for his other son. It was a painful reminder of the betrayal Alex had endured.
Alex, although a covenantor, was not devoid of emotions. He had witnessed and experienced the harsh realities of the world, and he had formed deep connections with others. The pain of being rejected by his own family was a wound that would take time to heal.
Wu Xiufan, filled with anger and disappointment, knew that he had made the right decision. He would protect Alex, no matter what it took. The Yu Family had crossed a line, and they would face the consequences of their actions.
The city, unaware of the darkness lurking beneath the surface, continued its daily routine. But for Wu Xiufan and Alex, the battle had just begun. They had exposed Yu Xuan's deception, and now they had to face the consequences.

And as the days turned into weeks, the city moved forward, its spirit unbroken, its resilience unwavering. The darkness had been defeated, the light of hope shining brightly.
