Difficult To Raise Chapter 62
byChapter 62 The Truth Jiang Ran walked forward for a long time before…
Jiang Ran walked forward for a while before he saw the flower shop. As the man said, the location was a bit off.He turned into a trail, surrounded by dense trees that prevented sunlight from getting through.
The lady who sells flowers is quite enthusiastic. I heard that he came here specially to buy them and chose the freshest and most beautiful ones for him. “You are right to come to buy from me. Don’t look at the many flower sellers near the examination room. They are all scammers. They only pick people like you to trick you. The flowers are not good. I will tell you a bunch of auspicious words first, so that you can spend ten times more money to buy them.”
Jiang Ran smiled after hearing this, didn’t say anything, and just scanned the QR code to pay.After paying the bill and just about to leave, he was grabbed again.
“Hey, young man, don’t leave in such a hurry. In fact, I not only sell flowers here, but also sachets and talismans. Look at this, you must pass every exam, and this one, it landed smoothly, it means good and cheap, buy it back for good luck?”
Jiang Ran glanced over hastily and saw that she was indeed holding a talisman in her hand. He was shocked. Is business so complicated now?
He quickly refused, but the landlady probably noticed that he was easy to talk to, so she came up and stuffed the sachet into his hand: “No! It’s only ten yuan each. You can’t buy it and you can’t buy it. You can’t buy it and you can’t be cheated! How important is your child’s exam? An extra layer of protection will give you more peace of mind, right?”
She pressed hard, and Jiang Ran patiently rejected him several times without success. In the end, he couldn’t bear it anymore, so he had to buy a few more sachets that were sure to pass the exam.
After such a delay, looking at the time, it has been several minutes since the exam ended, and the candidates are probably almost out of the exam room.
He sent a message to Jiang Jin, asking him to wait for a while, and walked back anxiously holding the flowers. The stone road under his feet was full of potholes, and occasionally he could smell the stench coming from the sewer.
Jiang Ran held his breath and swerved through narrow alleys one after another.
Just as he turned into another narrower path, there was a sudden gust of wind on the back of his neck.Before he could react, a hand suddenly covered his mouth and nose.Then, he smelled a very pungent smell.
A dizzy feeling swept over him instantly. He loosened his fingers and the beautiful bouquet of sunflowers fell to the ground. The petals were scattered and covered with dust.

When Jiang Ran woke up, he only felt a splitting headache. He struggled to open his eyes and saw a gray area.He seemed to be in a dark room with no windows or lights.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, or even whether it was day or night.
There was a heavy feeling of restraint on his body. Jiang Ran was tied to the chair with a long rope. He was tied tightly. He tried to move, but he couldn’t move an inch.
“Is there anyone?!” He shouted. The room was empty, and there was a little echo. After a while, a chuckle suddenly came from beside him.
Then there was a click, the lights turned on, and the room suddenly became bright.He endured the discomfort and slowly opened his eyes. As his vision gradually became clearer, he suddenly met the eyes of the person standing in front of him.
“Long time no see, Xiaoran.” The man greeted him with a smile.
Jiang Ran’s pupils trembled, and his eyes suddenly widened a bit, showing an expression as if he had seen a ghost.After a while, he called out his name in a hoarse voice: “…Jiang Yue!”
Gloomy eyes, thin cheeks, and hair that looked a little messy because it was not taken care of.
Compared with the meeting many years ago, Jiang Yue looked much more downtrodden. The crisp suit on his body was gone, replaced by ordinary black jeans and a black peaked cap, which almost covered most of his face. He was no longer as high-ranking and beautiful as before.
“It’s me,” Jiang Yue said, “Are you surprised to see me?”
“You…” Jiang Ran pursed his lips, forced himself to calm down, and said, “What are you going to do?”
He couldn’t figure out why Jiang Yue tied him up. There shouldn’t be any grudge between him and Jiang Yue, and he was an ordinary college student. He didn’t have anything he wanted, so there was no point in tying him up.
If I have to say it, the only person the two of them have crossed paths with is…Jiang Jin!Jiang Yue came for Jiang Jin!
Realizing this, Jiang Ran’s face became very ugly.
Seeing the look on his face, Jiang Yue knew that he had figured it out, and said no more, “Xiao Ran, I don’t want to embarrass you. As long as you cooperate, I won’t hurt you.”
“But the premise is that you have to be obedient.”
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone from his pocket, turned on the camera, and pointed the lens at Jiang Ran.The flashlight clicked on, and Jiang Ran turned his head subconsciously, but Jiang Yue reached out and held the back of his neck, forcing him to straighten his posture.
“I told you to be good.” Jiang Yue whispered, taking a few more pictures before letting go and lowering his head to fiddle with his phone.
Jiang Ran licked his dry lips and said, “Uncle Jiang, I think you need to calm down. I saw your story on the hot search. The company went bankrupt and had debts. There is still a chance to do it again, but what you are doing now is illegal.”
Jiang Yue raised his head and raised his lips, “Illegal? Do you think I will be afraid of this now?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his hand vibrated. He looked down, a sneer on his lips, and shook the screen towards Jiang Ran.The caller ID above only has two words – Jiang Jin!
It was Jiang Jin calling!
Jiang Ran stared at him closely, his eyes dark.
Jiang Yue pressed the connect button in front of him and turned on the hands-free.
“Brother! Brother! Where are you?!” Almost as soon as the call was connected, Jiang Jin rushed out with an anxious cry.In the background, you could faintly hear the whistling of the wind, and the sound of him gasping for breath as he ran.
Jiang Yue smiled at the speaker: “Xiao Jin, are you living a comfortable life these days? Do you still remember your biological father?”
Jiang Jin was silent for a while, and the sound of the wind suddenly disappeared, as if he had entered some closed space.
“Jiang Yue,” he lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth, “Where did you take my brother?”
“I want to know,” Jiang Yue seemed to be very satisfied with his reaction, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious, “Then beg me. If you make me happy, maybe I will tell you.”
“You can come at me whatever you want,” Jiang Jin said coldly, “Why involve other people?”
“Aren’t you the ones who forced me to this day?” Jiang Yue raised his voice, his expression gloomy, his handsome face became distorted, and his eyes were full of scarlet anger. “Wouldn’t it be okay if you gave me the fucking money earlier? You two have no conscience. I have raised you for so many years, and I might as well raise a dog. Are you happy to see me unlucky? I tell you, I am not happy, and none of you can fucking think about it!”
He pinched Jiang Ran’s chin, forced him to raise his head, looked at his face carefully, and said word by word: “Tell me, if I do something to him, will you be able to sleep peacefully in this life?”
“Jiang Yue!” Jiang Jin took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: “If you have any requests, just say so and don’t touch my brother! You have put so much effort into kidnapping me, don’t you just want to negotiate terms with me?”
“My brother is fine, we still have to talk,” Jiang Jin said with a hint of confusion in his voice, “I know your purpose. In this situation, the old man will not let you go. Only I can help you…”
“Don’t talk so much nonsense,” Jiang Yue said, “If you want me to leave your brother alone, it’s okay. Listen, I’ll give you two hours to transfer the money to this account.” He said, and reported a series of numbers in a low voice.
“As long as the money arrives, I will let him go. If I find you playing tricks…”
Jiang Yue paused and glanced at Jiang Ran’s pale, bloodless face. He deliberately emphasized his tone and said word by word: “Then I can’t guarantee what will happen.”
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Jin to say anything else, he cut off the call.
Jiang Yue looked at Jiang Ran coldly, patted his face with his mobile phone, leaned down slightly, and said, “Do you think he will do it?”
Jiang Ran turned his head and licked his dry lips without saying a word. He didn’t want to say another word to someone like Jiang Yue.
But Jiang Yue obviously didn’t care about his attitude and snorted coldly: “That’s all his mother who died early left him. I’m curious, is he willing to give up everything he got for you and become nothing again?”
“Or,” he took his hand back and continued casually: “In the face of money, the relationship between you will be vulnerable? You also want to know the answer.”
Jiang Ran lowered his eyes and didn’t bother to talk to Jiang Yue at all.
How could he still doubt Jiang Jin’s feelings for him until now? He was only worried about whether there would be any unforeseen danger when facing Jiang Yue, a lunatic.
“This bastard has grown up and is really disobedient.” When Jiang Yue saw that he didn’t answer, he didn’t care. He dragged a chair out and sat on it. He put his legs up and said slowly: “It seems that I still didn’t subdue him at first. If I had been more ruthless, maybe it wouldn’t be so troublesome now.”
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, then raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, “You said…what?”
“Oh? You don’t know yet?” Jiang Yue looked at his shocked look, as if he had found great pleasure, with a malicious smile on his face, “Since you don’t know, then I will be merciful and talk to you.”
“At that time, when we brought him back from Xihe, he was making noises every day to leave and find your brother.” Jiang Yue spread his hands and spoke in a light voice, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter. “I tried to persuade him several times, but he didn’t listen. I had no choice but to break his legs and throw him in the basement for a while.”
“You don’t know, the basement is dark and damp. He was crying and calling for you at first, but then he became tired of crying and behaved.” Jiang Yue smiled more and more proudly, “Parents also have a headache when facing such disobedient children, right?”
He paused, as if remembering some interesting details, and leaned towards Jiang Ran, smiling slightly and said, “By the way, once he had a high fever in the basement, and he was delirious from the fever, and he kept mumbling. Do you want to know what he was talking about at that time?”
Jiang Ran’s face was as pale as paper, his lips were trembling, and he stared at Jiang Yue, his hands trembling slightly with extreme anger.
Jiang Yue seemed not to have seen it. He suppressed his voice and said in an exaggerated and imitated child tone: “He said, brother, I’m afraid…brother, where are you…why haven’t you come to me…hahahahaha! Isn’t it funny?”
“Ahhhhh!! Jiang Yue! You lunatic! You bastard! How dare you, how do you deserve to be a parent!!” Jiang Ran finally couldn’t help shouting, his voice was hoarse, “Why don’t you die!! Go to hell!!”
His eyes were scarlet, and he looked like an enraged beast, trembling all over and struggling desperately.
The thick hemp rope tightened even tighter, sinking deeply into the flesh, causing burning pain, and leaving blood-oozing red marks on the wrists and ankles.
But he didn’t care, he just wanted to break free and rush forward to tear the devil in front of him to pieces!
Jiang Ran couldn’t imagine how Jiang Jin, who had been timid since childhood, felt having his legs broken by his biological father and being locked up alone in a dark and cold basement.
Did he ever cry?Did you say his name over and over again?Have you ever felt hopeless?
In the past, when Jiang Jin was scared, he would subconsciously look for his brother.But at that time, his brother knew nothing about it and was still living his own stable life.
He could only tremble in the darkness alone and bear all the pain and fear alone.
Jiang Ran originally thought that he had found a good road for Jiang Jin, which would allow him to live a good life and have a splendid life.But now he knew that he had personally pushed Jiang Jin into hell and sent him to this devil!
Jiang Jin said that he had come to see him before, but it turned out that he had to pay such a high price.
What did he do?
Jiang Ran closed his eyes, and the hot tears finally couldn’t help but well up and slide down his cheeks.He was panting heavily, his chest felt like it was being pressed by a boulder, and he was so stuffy that he almost couldn’t breathe.
“Why are you so angry?” Jiang Yue crossed his legs and said slowly: “Didn’t you take the initiative to contact me? It would be too ridiculous to make such a gesture now. You hate me so much now, but in the final analysis, you are also responsible for these things.”
“Jiang Yue!” Jiang Ran’s voice was hoarse and broken due to extreme anger. He struggled with all his strength. The rope tightened deeper and his skin was bruised and painful. “You deserve to die! You will suffer retribution sooner or later!”
“Shh,” Jiang Yue stretched out an index finger and touched his lips, “Don’t be so excited. According to the current situation, even if I die, I will hold you on my back. You should pray that I live well.”
