Chapter 793: The Neighbor’s Surname Is Lawson

Beside Xiao Meng was an abnormally tall and handsome man. He was wearing a smoky gray long-sleeved shirt and glasses. He looked very gentle. Zhuang Long looked at the man and his head suddenly ached.

“Uh…”

Zhuang Long could not help but hug his head. There were many things jumping around in his mind, as if they were about to jump out of his mind.

Seeing that Zhuang Long was suddenly uncomfortable, Ian quickly took away the photo on his leg and asked him with concern, “Herbert, what’s wrong? Where are you feeling unwell?”

Zhuang Long shook his head.

When the pain gradually disappeared, Zhuang Long said, “I didn’t sleep well last night and have a headache.”

Ian suggested, “Why don’t you rest in our guest room for a while?”

Zhuang Long refused.

He pointed at the photo album and Ian brought it to him. Zhuang Long opened the photo album and pointed at the man standing beside Xiao Meng in the photo. He asked him, “This is my father?”

Ian was surprised. “Don’t you remember?”

Zhuang Long said, “I was too young at that time. I don’t really remember them.”

Ian sighed and said, “That’s a good thing too.”

Zhuang Long felt that there was something strange about this.

......

He frowned and said calmly, “My mother is already out of prison.”

Ian was extremely surprised. He exclaimed, “She’s out of prison? So soon?” Without waiting for Zhuang Long to answer, Ian said, “Twenty-eight years have passed. She’s getting out of prison.”

Zhuang Long’s heart skipped a beat.

Ian knew about his mother’s crimes!

Zhuang Long lied and said, “When I was in my teens, I was injured and had some problems with my memory. When I was young, I couldn’t remember many things clearly. This time, when my mother was released from prison, when we were chatting, I realized that I had forgotten many things. I came back this time to find my memory.”

“Ian, I have something I want to ask you.”

“Ask away. I’ll tell you everything I know.” Ian really believed Zhuang Long’s lie.

Zhuang Long’s first question was, “Why did my mother kill someone?”

Ian frowned tightly. He said, “Don’t you even remember this?”

Zhuang Long replied naturally, “It’s not that I don’t remember. It’s just that my memories are very messy. They’re all fragments.”

“I see…”

After thinking about it, Ian said in a rueful tone, “Actually, I always felt that your mother was right. She did kill someone, but she killed a perverted murderer! I still can’t believe that your father was actually a perverted murderer! Your mother killed him to get rid of evil for the people. Although her method of killing was a little cruel, I still feel that she wasn’t wrong…”

Ian lowered his head and spoke, not noticing how ugly Zhuang Long’s expression was.

The person her mother killed was actually her father…

Zhuang Long never expected the truth to be like this! At this moment, he suddenly thought of the photo he had seen at his mother’s house the night he brought Xiao Meng back to the manor. In the photo, there were only him and his mother. The part that belonged to his father had clearly been torn apart by his mother…

What made Zhuang Long feel even more ridiculous was another truth—

His father was actually a perverted murderer!

Ian was still chattering away, but Zhuang Long could not hear him.

Zhuang Long’s ears were still buzzing when he left Ian’s house and walked in the direction of his own house. So was this the truth? The reason he did not remember his childhood was because his father was a perverted murderer and his mother had killed his father.

Was that so?

However, Zhuang Long was very puzzled. Was he that weak when he was young? Would he be so weak that he could not believe this fact and even split into another person to protect him?

From Ian’s description, Zhuang Long learned that he was a timid child when he was young. This was not impossible. However, Zhuang Long trusted his intuition more. He felt that this was not the root cause of his split personality!

Zhuang Long walked all the way to the end of the town in deep thought. He turned around and climbed up the mountain. When he reached the fork in the road, Zhuang Long suddenly stopped in his tracks. To the left was his house. To the right was the small road that climbed up. At the end was a rich family.

Zhuang Long looked up and saw an old man in a black tuxedo.

The old man stared at Zhuang Long in silence, deep in thought.

His gaze made Zhuang Long realize that this person might know him.

After thinking about it, he walked closer to the old man.

The old man was about 60 years old. His hair was white, but his body was upright. Zhuang Long walked closer and realized that the old man had a pair of light blue eyes, and his deep eyes were sizing him up. Zhuang Long spoke first. He said, “Do you know me?”

The old man did not answer. “I don’t know you, but you look like someone I know.”

“Who?”

The old man pointed his index finger at the house next door.

That was Zhuang Long’s house.

Zhuang Long’s gaze froze as he heard the old man say, “I remember that the child’s name is Herbert. What about you, what’s your name, sir?”

Under the old man’s sharp gaze, Zhuang Long said, “My name is Zhuang Long.”

The old man was stunned, as if he had heard an incredible name.

Zhuang Long added, “But I have another name. Herbert.”

The old man’s eyes flashed, and it was unknown what he was thinking. Zhuang Long heard him mutter, “I see. So it’s you. It’s actually you. No wonder it’s you…”

Zhuang Long was confused.

What was he referring to?

Zhuang Long looked at the mansion behind him and asked boldly, “What’s your master’s surname?” Since the old man had seen him before, they must have lived here for many years. Zhuang Long thought that he might still remember this family.

The old man smiled and said respectfully, “Lawsen, my master’s surname is Lawsen.”

Zhuang Long’s pupils shrank.

Lawson!

Clarice Lawson!

Xiao Li was a child of the Lawson family.

In an instant, the question that had been buried in Zhuang Long’s heart for a long time was finally answered! His heart was beating violently. Zhuang Long asked the old butler, “Is… is it called Clarice Lawson?”

The old butler nodded.

This was ridiculous…

So they had known each other since they were young.

Zhuang Long could not digest this information for a moment. He hurriedly bade farewell to the old man and returned to his house. The old butler looked at his back view. The mystery in his heart had also been solved. No wonder Miss would rather give up the entire family and give up the inheritance to marry that man called Zhuang Long.

So Zhuang Long was that child back then.

That explained everything.

The old butler returned to the villa. After thinking for a while, he picked up his phone and dialed a number that belonged to New York.

Not many people knew Xiao Li’s private number. They were all her best friends or family.
