<h4>Chapter 104</h4>


    Fan Yuan looked at the familiar, yet unfamiliar person on the projector screen. This person was him, but not entirely him either. Even if he had lost a crucial part of his memory, he was still able to read the desperation hidden within Dan Wen’s cold eyes from across the screen.


    His chest hurt to the point that it nearly convulsed. He was clearly not in a body of flesh and blood but it seemed as if he was going to suffocate. A person’s level of tolerance had limits. When one was unable to face something, they would selectively flee, but he couldn’t do so.


    Even by just witnessing that all of that through a screen, he was already in unbearable pain. And as for the him who had experienced that in real life in the first ce, he could almost imagine what kind of breakdown and despair he would have experienced.


    Dan Yarou had saved him from the depths of loneliness and abandonment. In his heart, she was his sister, his mother, and his friend. She gave him a perfection that he had never felt before.


    And now this hard-won happiness was all striped away.


    It was just like a believer who had traveled a long journey to make a pilgrimage. After crossing deserts and hills, they finally saw hope, only to find that the temple had been destroyed by bandits. This blow was enough to turn a devout believer into a ferocious murderer.


    Danwen was a personality that had been twisted by revenge and hatred, and also the most real him.


    ————————————————————


    In the entertainment circle that was jumbled with both good and bad, he had no foundations, no power, and no support from any rtives or friends. His only weapon was the appearance he had inherited from Fan Hong, as well as his growing madness and malice.


    He didn’t sign a contract with any film or televisionpany. He started his own business with the first sum of money he had earned from making movies, arduously starting his career in thisplicated and dirty industry. In no time, he learned how to have dealings with people from all walks of life. No one had taught him how to do it. Clumsily but at a very fast pace, he was growing up.


    Due to his mysterious background, elegant style of conversing and good manners, almost everyone thought that he was a rich son from an influential family. Even if some coveted him in secret, they dared not make any moves because they were afraid of the “power behind him”.


    But this was all just a disguise, he was just someone who had a little money but not enough, and he was a powerless orphan to top it off.


    Everyone felt that his acting skills were superb within the film, but in fact, his best acting skills were those in the material world. In front of people, he would act every day, or even every minute and every second. He wore a perfect mask as he yed God’s favourite. His words and deeds were so perfect that people worshiped him, and every little smile of his was just right, which made millions of fans go crazy.


    He maintained a mysterious and low-key style while pushing out excellent cinematographic and television works. In the span of a mere few years, he had won numerous awards and the outside world had a high evaluation of him. He had also be more and more known to the world, but still rarely appeared in front of the public.


    Very soon, Fan Hong had contacted him through some channels, nothing more than for the sake of money. She thought that the person in front of her was still the poor child she could bully as she pleased, so she opened up her mouth wide like a lion and harshly spouted out a huge amount of ckmail. She openly told him that if he didn’t promise to give her what she wanted, she would disclose his life background and the matter of him once seducing his stepfather.


    From start to finish, Dan Wen did not give her a single nce. He simply signed a cheque without filling in the mary amount, leaving Fan Hong satisfied as she returned home.


    Before she could cash in the cheque, a traffic ident suddenly befell her. Before entering the emergency room, she still maintained consciousness and through this hazy consciousness, she saw Dan Wen. That person gently curved his lips upon seeing her in that state, his eyes ruthless like a ferocious ghost demanding one’s life. She was so frightened to the point that shepletely went faint.


    When she woke up, she came to the knowledge that she waspletely paralyzed, even her fingers couldn’t move. She yelled and cursed at Dan Wen, saying to all those around her that Dan Wen had harmed her and that she was Dan Wen’s birth mother. Moreover, she said that Dan Wen was a shameless, cheap manwhore that seduced men wherever he went!


    The doctors and nurses in the hospital were all the more disgusted with hysterical patients like her. Who was Dan Wen? He was the most perfect person in the world. Even if he frowned slightly, a person wouldn’t be able to bear it. It was practically an unforgivable crime that this woman was hurting him with abusive words.


    Once some of Dan Wen’s die-hard fans in the hospital learned of this, they uncaringly drove Fan Hong out of the hospital. The matter was blown up greatly, and the hospital quickly contacted the Ren Family.


    The Ren family members had arrivedte. Ren Huacheng, the eldest of Ren family and Huaxin, the second oldest, had both already married and settled down. They were disgusted by this stepmother who was fighting for the family inheritance. Seeing her fall to such circumstances, they could barely begin to feel ecstatic, so how would they care for her hysterical words? They directly transferred to the general ward and left her to sink or swim.


    As Ren Huacheng walked out of the ward, he spat backwards with a sneer, “Dan Wen is Fan Yuan? Ah, she really dares to dream. That stray dog seems to have been personally hit and disabled and thrown away by her, who knows which corner he’s died at. This woman is truly ruthless. For money, she was willing to abandon her son at the snap of a finger. Thatd had been pale and thin ever since young, just like a beggar, but his figure was not bad. If he had been ced in my hands, I could at least y with him for a while.”


    Ren Huaxin’s expression was dark as he said, “y for a while? What’s so fun about ying with a mad dog? Aren’t you afraid of getting infecting with some kind of random disease? This womanpared the wild dog she’d birth to Dan Wen, I’ll absolutely never let her off.”


    Ren Huachengughed, “That’s true, Dan Wen is the Zhusha Zhi of your heart. You would definitely be upset if he was insulted by someone else. However, does sister-inw know that you’re so infatuated with a man.”


    Ren Huaxin rolled his eyes and said, “She’s even more infatuated than I am.”


    Ren Qiang visited Fan Hong a few monthster. Back then, he had married her because he coveted her beauty, but this woman’s hands were too long. She had embezzled public funds many times, which led to financial loopholes in thepany. Now, it was her own fault that she had fallen to such a deplorable situation.


    He had long seen through the matter of Dan Wen being Fan Yuan. His two sons hadn’t seen Fan Yuan after he’d grown up, so they couldn’t recognise him, but he had. In those days that child’s sloppy appearance had already tickled his heart, and now he’d gotten who knew how many times more beautiful than the past. Just from watching the films he acted in, he could have wet dreams, and so he thought in his heart that he had to find a chance to sessfully do him.


    As for Fan Hong iming that Dan Wen had caused her paralysis, he didn’t believe it for a minute. Just a 20-year-old child, even if he had gotten into the entertainment circle and risen up, he would have only done a few sexual transactions and found a few rich backers. How could he engage someone to perform this kind of harm so cleanly,pletely not allowing anyone to find a point of doubt.


    “I think it’s your own mind ying tricks. You drove the car and knocked into him to begin with, that is why you are judging others based on your ownself, thinking that he would deal with you in this kind of way. In fact, it was all your own imagination.”


    As he heard Fan Hong’s hysterical scream resound from behind him, he turned on his mobile phone and looked at the young man on the screen saver. His half-clouded eyes revealed a lecherous gaze. Due to the fact that he hadn’t been able to eat him, he kept thinking about it till now. He didn’t know how many people had already yed with that boy either, but it was okay, he didn’t care. Anyway, he was but a ything that could be thrown away after he was sick of it.


    Not before long, Dan Wen had gotten acquainted with Ren Huaxin at a cocktail party, and they had an “animated conversation”. Under Dan Wen’s deliberate lead, this person’s favour towards him deepened with each day, almost to the point of following him blindly.


    On a certain day when it was pouring heavily, Dan Wen went into Ren Huaxin’s apartmentpletely drenched. He said that he had been attempted to be vited by his stepfather and he killed the man by mistake.


    Ren Huaxin hardly hesitated and said that he had a speedboat that could help him throw the corpse out at sea. Dan Wen declined once at first before agreeing to him, and the two carried the nylon bag containing the body to Ren Huaxin’s car. During this period of time, the “corpse” had moved slightly. Ren Huaxin thought that the person had not expiredpletely, so he took a knife and stabbed a few times harshly into the body. Finally, the body stopped moving.


    Dan Wen took off the transparent gloves on his hand and looked at the scene expressionlessly. He had simply drugged Ren Qiang a little. Just a few minutes ago, he was still in an unconscious state, and as for now......he had been killed by his own son. It was unknown how he felt before he died.


    Ren Huaxin didn’t know that he had killed his father by his own hand. He repeatedly assured Dan Wen to leave the body to him, then he quickly drove out to the coast where the speedboat was parked. And there was arge number of policemen waiting for him.


    The corpse and the murder weapon were all present and the murder weapon only had Ren Huaxin’s fingerprints. Even if he told the truth, no one would believe him. Besides, he wouldn’t betray Dan Wen to begin with. Even if he finally knew that Dan Wen was the “wild dog” who had been bullied by him a few years ago, he wouldn’t tell the truth either.


    In this way, the Ren Family’s old fox and baby fox were rid of in one fell swoop.


    The remaining Ren Huacheng was a good-for-nothing, pretty much being a piece of mud that couldn’t support a wall. After listening to the nder, he soon lost half of the Ren Family’s empire due to gambling and was driven out of the board of directors. He lost rights to control the Ren n, and finally died “identally” during sexual intercourse.


    The Ren Family which had foundationssting for decades had copsed suddenly. Their descendants and rtives either went to jail or died, or were left in dire straits on the street. The person with the best oue was probably Fan Hong who was lying in the hospital. Although she waspletely paralyzed, she could at least live on without worrying about food and drink.


    After that, a cult named “DYR” rose rapidly, even spreading all over the globe. It was an extremely vicious and dangerous cult. They aroused the negative emotions hidden in human hearts and called on their believers tomit all sorts of misdeeds. While they would shout “Eliminate Evil”, they were actually the ones performing the illegal acts.


    Some of these people were savage and cruel in nature, and even more of these people were those who had once been unfairly treated in this world. They were at the bottom rung of society, belonging to vulnerable groups, with no one ever willing to listen to their struggles and screams. Long-term depression and pain had already caused their psyche to gradually turn morbid. Even a little spark could easily ignite them.


    These people were not in small numbers, butrge, and the rapid expansion of their power left people bbergasted. In no time, the world’s governments began to suppress them, but effectiveness was very minimal as these people were basically not afraid of that, let alone the threat of prison.


    Rebellions started in various ces and many of those who were unable to be punished byw received their proper dues, but countless innocents were hurt at the same time. Many people didn’t even dare to go out. The social order had been seriously affected.


    No one knew who the leader was, they only knew that the cult’s emblem was a lily.


    Several yearster when the movie emperor, Dan Wen, stood in front of the media and publicly exposed his own crimes, the entire world went silent.


    This man who had once stunned the human race — at the moment when he was handcuffed, he had a rare gentle smile on his face. It was still beautiful to the point that it made peoples’ hearts tremble and made them go crazy. This beautiful man slowly let out each word with a sneer, “What an ugly world.”


    ...............


    “What is ugly is not the world, but the human heart.” Fan Yuan said, “I did so much, but I still regret it in the end.”


    Because of regret, that he had publicly confessed to his crimes, ending that terrifying era and letting all return to normal.


    He did not erase that portion of his memories because he was afraid or trying to escape from something. He just wanted to deceive himself, as well as others. He was still that seventeen-year-old Fan Yuan. A Fan Yuan who lived under the sunlight without being tainted by a single drop of blood.


    In fact, he knew better than anyone — this having nothing to do with his memory — Dan Wen was always in the bottom of his heart. Once he lost his shackles, he woulde back to the fore at any time.
