488: Chapter 488: Mother’s Identity!
Wu Jiu, the abbot, sighed, “Ah…
I thought that after more than thirty years, the past events would have been forgotten, but I never expected you to be so persistent…
Nor did I expect that, after more than three decades, they would still come to assassinate…”
Finally, Wu Jiu revealed Lin Shuang’s origins.
“Lin, the young lay disciple, indeed, it was I who brought you back.
Thirty years ago, I was chopping wood on Tiger Hill when I found a woman’s body that had been burned…
That body was your mother…”
According to Wu Jiu’s description, thirty years ago…
he was alone chopping wood on Tiger Hill but stumbled upon a thick smoke in a primeval forest he passed by.
Wu Jiu hurried forward to check and discovered a sea of fire ahead, where countless twigs and weeds were ignited.
In the midst of the flames, lay a woman’s corpse.
Wu Jiu quickly approached…
and extinguished the sea of flames.
He discovered that the woman’s body was pregnant and…
the baby inside was still alive?!
Wu Jiu quickly rescued the woman’s body and brought it back to Hanshan Temple…
Wu Jiu, the temple’s abbot, and the Monk Doctor at the temple cut open the woman’s abdomen and rescued the barely alive infant within.
That rescued infant was Lin Shuang.
Upon hearing this, Lin Shuang clenched his fists tightly.
His mother, was she dead?!
So Lin Shuang…
was rescued from the womb of the pregnant dead woman?!
With blood-red eyes, Lin Shuang asked, “What was my mother’s name?
Her…
what was her background?
Do you know, Abbot?”
Wu Jiu, the abbot, sighed slowly, “After rescuing you, I intended to find your biological father.
I investigated your mother’s background…
only to discover that she was called Xia Yuhe.
She was a well-known singer in Gusu City…
I found out from local sources that Xia Yuhe was quite famous when she was young, but then she suddenly got pregnant…
and no one knew who the father of the child was…”
That year, Wu Jiu only found out the identity of Lin Shuang’s mother, who was Xia Yuhe, a well-known singer from Gusu City.
Before Xia Yuhe died, she was already pregnant.
But nobody knew who the child was.
Xia Yuhe was not married before she got pregnant, so it was a case of having a child out of wedlock.
“Xia Yuhe…” Lin Shuang muttered the name softly.
“Abbot, why then was my mother’s body discarded on Tiger Hill?
And why was it burned?!” Lin Shuang knelt on the ground, trembling as he asked!
Wu Jiu sighed, “When I found your mother’s body, she had a clear knife wound on her neck; she had been murdered.
The fire had been deliberately set.
Someone had killed your mother, wanting to burn the body to destroy the evidence.
After igniting the fire, the murderer fled…
But they hadn’t anticipated that I would pass through that wild mountainous forest and ultimately discover…
and save you from your mother’s womb.”
Hearing this, Lin Shuang clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles popped loudly!
So back then, his mother…
had been deliberately murdered?!
The murderer was ruthless, not only killing his pregnant mother but also intending to burn the body to erase all traces!
“Abbot, what about my father?”
Wu Jiu shook his head, “I only know clues about your mother.
As for your father…
I really don’t know…”
“All I know is, after your mother’s death, the family of Xia Yuhe was suddenly silenced…
and the Xia family was completely eradicated…”
“That year, after I saved you, a group of mysterious assassins came inquiring about your mother’s body… They came several times near Hanshan Temple to investigate… In the end, fearing the assassins would discover you and silence you as well, I had no choice but to secretly send you hundreds of kilometers away to Shanghai, entrusting you to the care of the Red Sun Welfare House…” Wu Jiu explained slowly.
Lin Shuang’s eyes surged with murderous intent!
Could those assassins have been sent by his biological father?
Without evidence, Lin Shuang was hesitant to jump to conclusions!
“Thank you, Abbot Wu Jiu, for saving my life back then!” Lin Shuang knelt on the ground and fiercely kowtowed to Wu Jiu!
He, Lin Shuang, knelt neither to heaven nor earth.
But at this moment, to the man who saved his life years ago, Abbot Wu Jiu, he knelt and kowtowed!
Just as Wu Jiu was helping Lin Shuang up, Lin Shuang spat out a mouthful of black blood.
The poison had seeped into his bloodstream, and at this moment Lin Shuang, poisoned severely…
could no longer endure.
Lin Shuang’s complexion turned deathly pale, his vision began to blur, and his consciousness started to fade.
Wu Jiu’s face changed, the toxicity on the assassins’ blades was too strong, even he could not detoxify it!
“Someone!
Quick, someone!
Call the Monk Doctor from the temple!” Wu Jiu shouted, his face etched with concern!
