Alex's words confirmed Xu Zixi's inner suspicion. She had previously suspected that Xiong Han was someone Yan Yincheng knew. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of using someone else's information to hide his true identity.
However, the more certain she was, the angrier she became! She stepped forward and forcefully slapped Alex. With a "pop," Alex's face was turned to one side.
"Alex, how could you let Brother Cheng down? How could you let the kids down!"
Her sharp gaze seemed to pierce through his soul. Such a question made Alex feel extremely ashamed.
"I'm sorry." Apart from apologizing, he really didn't know what else to say. But he also understood that the harm he and Bai Xuanhe had caused to the two of them back then couldn't be compensated for by just an apology.
When he learned from Xu Zixi that they had never stopped searching for the truth of that night, he guessed that this day would come sooner or later.
"What else are you hiding from us? Why did you say that Xuanxuan's disappearance with Professor He was not simple! Answer me!" Xu Zixi growled in a low voice.
What Alex said next sent a chill down Xu Zixi's spine.
"His real name is not He Xuan. His full name is Bai Xuanhe. He has the surname Bai. He is a descendant of the Bai family, a renowned medical family in Yuncheng, and also the biological son of Mr. Tang. He... is also 'White Crane'."
Yan Yincheng was surprised. "He's Uncle Tang's biological son? Uncle Tang's son died back then, didn't he?"
Alex said, "He and Auntie actually didn't die. The two charred corpses were used to deceive Teacher. After those people kidnapped them back then, they inflicted inhumane torture on them. Bai Xuanhe was thrown into the river and ended up in Country M. He accidentally entered the territory of a local drug lord and became their money - making tool ever since."
"And Auntie... After she was taken away by those people, there was no news of her. It wasn't until many years later when Bai Xuanhe returned to the country that he found Auntie in Fengcheng. But by that time, Auntie had not only become a beggar but also suffered from various diseases. She passed away not long after Bai Xuanhe found her."
Xu Zixi suddenly remembered the tombstone named "Chen Mei" that she and Yan Yincheng had seen in Yuncheng before. Presumably, it was set up by Bai Xuanhe for her.
"Why didn't you tell Uncle Tang this news?" Yan Yincheng demanded sharply. "Do you just watch Uncle Tang suffer like this? He's your teacher!"
"How could I tell him? Should I tell him, 'Teacher, actually Brother Xuanhe didn't die, but he has become an internationally wanted criminal and committed many unforgivable crimes'? Should I tell him, 'Auntie didn't die either, but she has become a beggar with schizophrenia and terminal illness'? Their misfortunes were all caused by the choice he made back then!"
"This is not for Teacher's good. It's torture! I'd rather he thought that Brother Xuanhe and Auntie were already dead." Alex said hoarsely.
Yan Yincheng was extremely angry at first, but after hearing his words, he fell silent.
Having gotten along with Mr. Tang for so many years, how could he not know about Uncle Tang's guilt for that incident back then? If Uncle Tang knew all this, he would probably wish to die to atone for his sins.
"Then why did he cooperate with Yuan Ya'er? What exactly happened that night six years ago?" Yan Yincheng then asked.
"Also, what does he intend to do by getting close to Zixi in the research lab now?"
Yan Yincheng frowned. He couldn't quite understand. According to Alex's account, shouldn't Bai Xuanhe hate the people who kidnapped and hurt them the most? Why did he scheme against him and Yuan Xi and take Xuanxuan away?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Alex said, "The people who kidnapped them back then have already been eliminated by Bai Xuanhe. The reason he agreed to help Yuan Ya'er is because..."
...
Alex was naturally unrestrained and loved freedom. He didn't want to be restricted to a single hospital. After graduating from Xiu City Medical College back then, he became a field doctor.
He was extremely good at disguise and voice - changing. Knowing that his appearance was too eye - catching on the battlefield, he disguised his appearance and voice on the battlefield. So no one knew his real face.
Once when he was on a mission with the army in Country F, he accidentally saw Bai Xuanhe's figure in the enemy's camp.
The two had been good playmates when they were young. He was extremely excited to find that Bai Xuanhe was still alive. He originally planned to recognize Bai Xuanhe, but he found that Bai Xuanhe was a member of an organization in Country F. He was the organization's tool for making money, manufacturing drugs, and killing people. He had also become the world - famous hacker "White Crane".
In order to take Bai Xuanhe out of that place, he joined the organization under the identity of "Xiong Han".
But when he finally got in touch with Bai Xuanhe, he found that the latter was full of hatred for Mr. Tang in his heart. That hatred even spread to the innocent Yan Yincheng.
Whenever he tried to mention Mr. Tang or Yan Yincheng, Bai Xuanhe would lose control of his emotions.
For this reason, he didn't dare to recognize Bai Xuanhe, nor did he dare to tell Mr. Tang that Bai Xuanhe was still alive.
Six years ago, Bai Xuanhe found out the news of his biological mother, Chen Mei. Under the pretext of setting up a base in Fengcheng, Country C to make money for the organization, he rushed back to Country C and saw his mother for the last time. His mother was taken care of by Yuan Ya'er before she died, so she didn't suffer too much when she passed away. In order to repay Yuan Ya'er's kindness, he gave her a token and promised to do three things for her.
Not long after, Yuan Ya'er found Bai Xuanhe. Taking advantage of the three things he owed, she asked him to help her design a plan to ruin Yuan Xi, the fiancée of Yan Zhen, the eldest grandson of the Yan family in Fengcheng.
At that time, Alex also returned to Country C with Bai Xuanhe. Knowing that Alex had the ability to change his voice, Bai Xuanhe entrusted Alex to be the executor of the whole plan and be responsible for contacting Guan Baocheng. On the day of the incident, Alex used his voice - changing skills to imitate Yan Zhen's voice and made a phone call to Yuan Xi, successfully inviting her to the hotel.
However, unfortunately, on the day the plan was carried out, Yan Yincheng returned to Fengcheng. He drank too much at a gathering with his friends and stayed in that hotel.
Yuan Xi wasn't completely unconscious. She only tasted a little of that chocolate. And because Alex bumped into Yan Yincheng and Wei Shu and was afraid of being recognized, he took Yuan Xi and hid in the fire escape.
Knowing that she had been set up, Yuan Xi's strong will to survive made her regain a glimmer of consciousness. She cried and begged Alex to let her go.
Alex wasn't a bad person at heart. He knew what kind of scumbag Guan Baocheng was, and he didn't want such a beautiful girl to be defiled by Guan Baocheng.
But this plan was designed by Bai Xuanhe to repay Yuan Ya'er's kindness. If the plan failed, it would mean that Bai Xuanhe would still be coerced by Yuan Ya'er with that kindness.
Moreover, the chocolate was made by Bai Xuanhe himself. If he just let Yuan Xi go, it would actually put her in a more dangerous situation.
In the end, he chose to send Yuan Xi into Yan Yincheng's room.
The next day, after Yan Yincheng left briefly, he took Yuan Xi out of his room and sent her back to Guan Baocheng's room on time, pretending that the plan had been successful.
At the same time, he used the surveillance - controlling technology taught by Bai Xuanhe to delete all the pictures related to Yan Yincheng and concealed from Bai Xuanhe the fact that Yan Yincheng had been in the hotel.
- With Bai Xuanhe's inexplicable hatred for Yan Yincheng, if he knew all this, he would probably be even more excited.
After all, she was his nephew's fiancée. Such a scandal would directly ruin Yan Yincheng's reputation. By then, both Yan Yincheng and Yuan Xi, and even the Yan family would be finished.
After that, Yuan Ya'er brought Yan Zhen there, and the incident broke out. Everything was already a foregone conclusion. And as expected, Bai Xuanhe never suspected that there was such a twist that night.
After that incident, Alex found a suitable opportunity and faked his death to completely disappear from the world.
Fortunately, he had always disguised his appearance and voice. So after getting rid of the identity of Xiong Han, he was able to be himself again, to be Han Xiongfei.
Alex always felt guilty towards Yan Yincheng and Yuan Xi. He gave up his job in Xiu City, Country A and came to Country C. He became a formula consultant beside Yan Yincheng, planning to find an opportunity to tell Yan Yincheng what happened that night to make up for his guilt.
But Yan Yincheng never mentioned that night, and Yuan Xi had already left Fengcheng. So he never found an opportunity. As time passed, he even forgot about this matter himself.
It wasn't until many years later when Yan Yincheng found Yuan Xi, who had given birth to two children, in Haicheng and took revenge on Guan Baocheng and Ji Xinyue that the matter from that year was brought up again.
But by this time, Alex no longer had the courage to tell everything.
He thought he could continue to deceive or hide like this. He tried his best to help Yan Yincheng and Xu Zixi and gave all his love and patience to Xuanxuan.
But he underestimated Bai Xuanhe's paranoid hatred for Mr. Tang. He didn't expect that Bai Xuanhe would forge an identity and enter the School of Medicine of Fengcheng University as a professor. He didn't expect that Bai Xuanhe would enter Xu Zixi's research lab to do research on the glandular fluid of "Golden Amber". He even didn't expect that Bai Xuanhe would take Xuanxuan away in front of so many people!
"Bai Xuanhe's purpose of entering the research lab should be to ruin your experiment, to prevent Yan from regaining his sight, and to make him live in darkness like himself forever."
"What a psycho!" Xu Zixi couldn't help but curse.
