An Understated Dominance Chinese Novel

Chapter: 2041

“Brother Gao Chao, this matter is a misunderstanding. Don’t listen to his nonsense!” Watanabe

Tianming began to quibble.

At this time, it must not be admitted, otherwise the only hope of survival will be gone.

“Brother Tianming, whether it is true or not, I will investigate clearly. I guarantee that I will neither wrong

a good person nor let a bad person go.”

As Murong Gaochao spoke, his eyes turned to Lu Chen again: “You said Watanabe Tenming

kidnapped Xue’er. Is there any evidence?”

“evidence?”

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows: “Do you still need evidence for the facts before you?”

“I just came in, I don’t know anything, I’m asking you now, you’d better answer honestly.” Murong

Gaochao said with a sullen face.

“You want evidence, don’t you?”

Lu Chen pointed to the corpse on the ground: “These masked killers are all warriors from the Golden

Crow Kingdom. Watanabe Tenming is also from the Golden Crow Kingdom. They are obviously in the

same group. Does this count as evidence?”

Hearing this, Watanabe Tenming’s eyelids twitched and he felt a little nervous for no reason.

“not enough.”

Murong Gaochao glanced at it and shook his head slightly.

“not good enough!”

Lu Chen grabbed Watanabe Tianming, took out the phone from his pocket, unlocked it, flipped through

it carefully, and quickly called up the video of Murong Xue being kidnapped, and said coldly: “Open

your eyes and see, this is Watanabe Tianming The threatening video is all clear, who is the bad guy

and who is the good guy now, is it obvious enough?!”

Seeing this scene, Watanabe Tianming instantly turned pale.

Now that the evidence is overwhelming, it is impossible to argue.

It’s over, it’s really over.

“Let me see……”

Murong Gaochao took the phone and began to study it carefully.

Soon, he frowned, his face serious.

After a moment, Murong Gaochao seemed to have figured out something. He took a deep breath and

said calmly: “What kidnapping video? It’s fake at first glance. I’m warning you, don’t talk nonsense here

and slander Brother Tianming, otherwise I will You’re welcome!”

As he spoke, he exerted force and exploded the phone.

This——is obviously destroying evidence!

“Um?”

Looking at the crushed cell phone, Lu Chen frowned and his face instantly darkened.

He did not expect that Murong Gaochao would do such an act, openly destroying the evidence under

the watchful eyes of the public, and covering Watanabe Tianming.

Is this treating him like air?

At this moment, even Watanabe Tianming looked confused.

With the evidence in front of him, he thought he was going to die just now.

As a result, Murong Gaochao actually showed up like this, which was really unexpected.

Chapter: 2042

“Brother Tianming, don’t be nervous, with me here, no one can hurt you today.” Murong Gaochao said

righteously.

He didn’t care about Murong Xue being kidnapped, but if he could take this opportunity to make friends

with Tianming Watanabe, it would definitely be the wisest choice.

After all, the Watanabe family ranks among the top ten in the Golden Crow Kingdom.

“Brother Gao Chao makes the decision for me, so I can rest assured.” Tianming Watanabe quickly

responded.

Since Murong Gaochao took the initiative to show his kindness, he just went along with the flow and

accepted the love.

“Murong Gaochao, judging by your posture, are you going to work with Tianming Watanabe?” Lu

Chen’s face was frosty.

He captured the important person.

He also gave the evidence.

Fortunately, Murong Gaoming who rushed over to help, not only did not severely punish the murderer,

but even turned black and white and deliberately protected him.

Even destroying evidence.

This kind of despicable, shameless and servile behavior is simply outraged by both humans and gods!

“Lu Chen, you don’t have any evidence, and you dare to slander brother Tianming, how brave you are!”

Murong Gaochao directly retorted: “In addition, I have reason to suspect that the video just now was

your forged perjury, and you are the real murderer who kidnapped Xueer!”

“Are you so blind? Can’t you see the corpses of so many warriors from the Golden Crow Kingdom?” Lu

Chen couldn’t help but swear.

This bastard, it’s enough to cover up the sinner, but he actually beat him back.

“Hmph! Brother Tianming came here with the warriors of the Golden Crow Kingdom to rescue Xue’er

and promote the friendship between the two countries. It’s better for you. After your true identity was

exposed, you became angry and killed the warriors of the Golden Crow Kingdom. Now, you are the

owner of both countries. Sinner!” Murong Gaochao said righteously.

In a few words, a huge hat was thrown on Lu Chen’s head.

“Haha… What a man who calls a deer a horse and confuses right and wrong.”

Lu Chen was directly annoyed and laughed: “Murong Gaochao, as a direct descendant of the general’s

mansion, you should have more backbone and blood than ordinary people; but you are lucky, you don’t

like to be upright, but you want to be a dog for the Golden Crow Kingdom. This kind of scum has simply

disgraced the reputation of the General’s Mansion!”

“presumptuous!”

“Bold!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone yelled angrily.

All eyes widened, filled with righteous indignation.

“Lu! I knew you were not a good person, but I didn’t expect you to kidnap Xue’er? You are worse than a

pig or a dog!” Liu Yannan shouted sternly.

“That’s right! If Mr. Watanabe hadn’t found out in time and came to the rescue, Xue’er would have been

violated by you, you beast!” Chu Jie said through gritted teeth.

“Despicable villain! You really have ulterior motives, we really misjudged you!”

“Scum like this should be arrested, tortured and severely punished!”

A group of young men and women talked a lot, regardless, and directly identified Lu Chen as a sinner.

“Lu Chen! You have evil intentions and committed crimes. I order you to be arrested immediately and

kowtow to brother Tianming to apologize, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!”

Murong Gaochao said coldly.

A little person with no power and no power, isn’t he just arbitrarily making things happen?

Chapter: 2043

“Murong Gaochao, I really underestimated your meanness and shamelessness.”

Lu Chen’s cold eyes swept over one by one, and finally fixed again: “Seeing that you are so proficient,

it is obviously not the first time you have done this kind of thing, but it is a pity that you provoked the

wrong person today. Sit my charges? Or do you think you can stop me?”

“What? Do you still dare to resist?”

Murong Gaochao sneered: “Open your eyes and look around, they are all my people, as long as you

dare to mess around, I promise, you will be shot into a hornet’s nest immediately!”

“Mr. Lu, bullets don’t have eyes, you’d better admit defeat obediently.” Tianming Watanabe smiled

triumphantly.

The people of Long Kingdom still have old problems and like to fight among themselves.

Of course, this is what he wants to see.

“The one with the surname Lu! If you don’t want to die, you should surrender quickly, or you won’t have

time to regret it!” Liu Yannan and his party were arrogant.

“Murong Gaochao, you are playing with fire.”

Lu Chen warned with a cold face: “For the sake of the old general, I don’t want to hurt anyone. If you

leave now, I can pretend that nothing has happened. If you insist on protecting the Jinwu people, then

don’t blame me.” You’re welcome!”

“You’re welcome? Hehehe…”

Murong Gaochao smiled and looked like an idiot: “Lu Chen, who do you think you are? Do you dare to

threaten me here? Do you believe it or not, just one word from me can make you disappear from the

world!”

After speaking, he lightly snapped his fingers.

The next second, all the armed soldiers behind him immediately raised their guns and pointed them at

Lu Chen.

“Now, I order you to kneel!”

Murong Gaochao held his head high, stretched out his hand and pointed down, as if I’m sure of you.

“Say it again?”

Lu Chen said expressionlessly.

“Are you deaf? I’ll make you kneel…”

Before Murong Gaochao finished his sentence, Lu Chen made a sudden move, grabbed his face, and

lifted him up directly.

Murong Gaochao’s face seemed to be covered by a big spider, and all the words that came to his

mouth were blocked.

Because of too much force, his entire face was twisted by Lu Chen.

“Bold!”

“Let go!”

Everyone was shocked at first, and then became furious.

However, Murong Gaochao was held hostage, no one dared to act recklessly.

“Killing you is like picking something out of a bag, why do you want me to kneel down?”

Lu Chen held Murong Gaochao with one hand, his eyes terrifyingly cold.

Sometimes, the enemy is not hateful because the two sides have different positions. What is truly

hateful are those Japanese devils who worship foreigners and are servile.

“Lu Chen! You are committing a crime and provoking the General’s Mansion!”

Chapter: 2044

Murong Gaochao looked painful and threatened: “I warn you to let me go quickly, otherwise you will die

forever!”

“As a descendant of the General’s Mansion, but you are a servile soft-boned, you are really

embarrassing to the General’s Mansion. Since your father doesn’t know how to teach you, then I will

personally educate you!”

While Lu Chen was speaking, he punched Murong Gaochao in the abdomen.

The latter let out a scream, and his whole body became like a shrimp, and he vomited out the dinner he

had just eaten.

As soon as it reached his mouth, Lu Chen’s palm forcefully pressed it back.

For a while, he couldn’t get up and down, coughed again and again, his face turned red, and he felt

very uncomfortable.

“I…I’m going to kill you, I must kill you!”

Murong Gaochao gritted his teeth with hatred and his face was filled with ferociousness. He could no

longer see the calmness and calmness he had before.

“Yeah?”

Lu Chen sneered, grabbed Murong Gaochao’s face with one hand, and punched wildly with the other,

as if beating a drum.

Punch after punch hit his abdomen hard.

Murong Gaochao was beaten until he screamed again and again, his whole body convulsed, and he

even urinated.

Completely lost my temper.

“stop!”

Just as Lu Chen was beating up Murong Gaochao, a scream suddenly sounded from behind him.

Lu Chen looked back and found that Murong Xue had woken up at some point.

There was a bit of shock and disbelief on the small face.

She didn’t expect that she would see such a scene just after she woke up.

She also didn’t understand why Lu Chen wanted to beat his cousin?

“Brother Lu Chen, what are you doing?”

Murong Xue frowned, a little at a loss.

“Murong Gaochao confuses right and wrong and acts as a harbinger of evil. I just teach him a lesson

on behalf of the old general to prevent him from going astray and harming others and himself.” Lu Chen

said straightforwardly.

“Nonsense!”

Liu Yannan immediately retorted: “Xue’er! It was Lu Chen who kidnapped you. We came to rescue you,

but your cousin was kidnapped and beaten by him. Look at your cousin, how was he beaten?”

“That’s right! This guy has a bad heart. After we exposed his true identity, he became angry and hurt

others. It is a heinous crime!” Chu Jie agreed.

“Brother Lu Chen, are they telling the truth?” Murong Xue looked stunned.

“Xue’er, do you think I am that kind of person?” Lu Chen asked back.

“It’s not like.” Murong Xue shook her head, then asked again: “But why did you hit Brother Gao Chao?”

“That Watanabe Tenming from the Golden Crow Kingdom kidnapped you and used you to threaten me.

After I killed the warriors from the Golden Crow Kingdom, Murong Gaochao arrived with his people.

In order to please the Golden Crow Kingdom, this guy not only deliberately protected Watanabe Tenaki,

but also bit me back, poured all the dirty water on my head, and even threatened to arrest me.

Chapter: 2045

Shouldn’t this servile guy be taught a lesson? ”

Lu Chen told the whole story in one breath, and finally asked a question.

“this……”

Murong Xue was speechless for a moment.

If what Chase Lu said was true, then her cousin had indeed gone too far.

“Xue’er! Don’t be fooled by him, he is lying!”

Murong Gaochao endured the pain and shouted: “He kidnapped you, and we exposed his scandal, so

he took action against me. This guy is a hypocrite!”

As soon as these words came out, Murong Xue was shaken again.

Her cousin has always been upright and has an excellent character. It stands to reason that it is

impossible for him to do such a thing that would damage his reputation.

In the end what happened?

“Xue’er, whether it’s true or not, you’ll know by looking at the corpses on the ground.”

Lu Chen said calmly: “Those are the warriors of the Golden Crow Kingdom, the ones who kidnapped

you. I believe you should have seen some of them. You can judge for yourself whether they are true or

false.”

Hearing this, Murong Xue took a closer look and found several familiar corpses.

Although the men in black were all covered when they were kidnapped, she still saw the tattoos of a

few of them, which were exactly the same as those of the warriors in front of them.

If nothing else, these warriors from the Golden Crow Kingdom are kidnappers.

“Brother Gaochao, these warriors from the Golden Crow Kingdom seem to be really kidnappers.

What’s going on?” Murong Xue frowned and looked at Murong Gaochao.

“Xue’er! You are confused!”

Murong Gaochao looked like he hated iron and said, “Don’t you understand yet? These warriors from

the Golden Crow Kingdom are all Lu Chen’s people, and it was he who directed and acted in such a

play!

He deliberately asked someone to kidnap you and then appeared as a savior just to win your favor!

I’ve seen through his flamboyance a long time ago, so don’t believe his nonsense! ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn’t help sneering: “Murong Gaochao, you really don’t want face, Zhangkou

came here, you said I was behind the scenes, so what is Watanabe Tianming behind you?”

He only thought that the other party was insidious and cunning before, but he didn’t expect to be so

shameless.

Open your eyes and talk nonsense.

“Hmph! Brother Tianming is the last survivor and the only witness!”

Murong Gaochao said confidently: “You paid Brother Tianming to kidnap, and then killed someone to

silence him. You are such a despicable person!”

As he said that, he winked at Watanabe Tenaki.

The latter was slightly taken aback, but in admiration, he quickly responded.

“Miss Xue’er, I’m sorry for the offense I caused before, but Lu Chen paid us to do the kidnapping. If I

had known Miss Xue’er’s identity earlier, I would never dare to offend her.”

Watanabe Tenaki bowed deeply, pretending to be sincerely apologetic.

“Xue’er, have you heard it all? Now that the evidence is overwhelming, Lu Chen is the biggest villain!”

Murong Gaochao took advantage of the situation to make up the knife.

Chapter: 2046

“That’s right! I can testify that all of this is caused by Lu Chen!” Liu Yannan spoke out in support.

“I can also testify! This guy is cunning and cunning. He will do whatever it takes to get the upper hand!”

Chu Jie echoed.

“We can all testify! It is Lu Chen who kills people and silences them, and the thief shouts “Stop the

thief!”

At this moment, everyone raised their voices to crusade.

There are dozens of mouths in front and back, which can be described as a huge momentum.

Under the influence of many mouths, black can be said to be white.

Murong Xue was immediately stunned, completely confused.

She didn’t have any opinions to begin with, and now she didn’t know who to trust.

“Xueer, everything I said is true and there is absolutely no lie.” Lu Chen looked serious.

“Xue’er! I am your cousin, your blood relative, would I lie to you?” Murong Gaochao said earnestly.

“Xue’er, if you think about it carefully, why should I kidnap you?”

“Xue’er! You have known me for so many years, don’t you still know what I am? When have I lied to

you?”

“Xue’er, think calmly and don’t be deceived.”

“Xue’er! Do you want to trust an outsider and not trust me as your brother?!”

“…”

Lu Chen and Murong Gaochao started arguing on the spot.

Don’t give in to anyone.

“Don’t say it, don’t say it! Please don’t say it!”

Murong Xue covered her ears and squatted on the ground, her face full of confusion and pain.

She can no longer tell the truth from the lies, and doesn’t know who to believe.

One is her cousin who she grew up playing with, and the other is Lu Chen who has helped her many

times.

She really doesn’t know what to choose?

“Xue’er…”

Just when Lu Chen was about to express his condolences, Murong Gaochao, who had regained his

mobility, suddenly pulled out a knife from behind and stabbed him hard.

“Go to hell!”

Murong Gaochao grinned grimly, and stabbed Lu Chen in the chest with a knife.

As long as you kill the guy in front of you, it doesn’t matter who is right.

With dozens of mouths open, is it possible that Murong Xue still can’t be talked about?

“Clang!”

After the tip of the knife pierced through the clothes, it was blocked by Lu Chen’s protective energy,

making it difficult to get in.

Chapter: 2047

“ah?”

Murong Gaochao was stunned for a moment, his face full of astonishment.

His knife cuts iron like mud, how could it fail to pierce human flesh?

“you wanna die!”

Lu Chen’s eyes turned cold and he punched Murong Gaochao in the abdomen.

“boom!”

There was a muffled sound.

Murong Gaochao flew more than ten meters away on the spot, and then hit the wall heavily, creating a

crater.

The whole person’s mouth and nose were bleeding, and his life was hanging by a thread.

“Boom!”

The sudden movement startled everyone.

Xun Sheng looked around and saw that Murong Gaochao had been beaten so hard that he was

hanging on the wall. His upper body was sunk deep into the wall, leaving only his hands and feet

exposed.

Between the mouth and nose, blood spurted wildly.

It looked horrible.

“Brother Gao Chao!”

“Master!”

After being slightly taken aback, everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

He quickly ran forward, pulled Murong Gaochao out of the wall, and gave him various medicines to

heal his injuries and provide first aid.

“Your surname is Lu! How dare you hurt the eldest son of the Murong family? You are so daring!” Liu

Yannan was shocked and angry.

“Lu Chen! If something happens to brother Gao Chao, ten lives are not enough for you to die!” Chu Jie

sternly said.

“Are you blind? It was Murong Gaochao who made a sneak attack just now. I was just counterattacking

in self-defense.” Lu Chen said coldly.

“I didn’t see anything, but I saw you hurt someone. I’m warning you to surrender immediately and wait

for punishment, otherwise you will die without a burial place!” Liu Yannan’s expression was a bit

ferocious.

“That’s right! I’ll capture you immediately!” Chu Jie echoed.

“idiot.”

Lu Chen snorted coldly and didn’t bother to pay attention.

Murong Gaochao made a sneak attack first, if he hadn’t reacted quickly, he would have transported the

protective energy ahead of time.

With this knife, I am afraid that I will be stabbed to the core.

Although martial arts masters are invulnerable to swords and guns, the premise is that they must be

protected by stellar energy.

The physical body alone cannot stop the magic weapon.

“Xue’er! Did you just see what you saw? This guy doesn’t respect martial ethics and sneak attacks on

your cousin. He is trying to kill someone and silence him!” Liu Yannan turned her eyes and started to

fan the flames.

Chapter: 2048

“Yes, Xue’er! Lu Chen has ulterior motives, with a human face and a beast’s heart. Brother Gao Chao

just argued a few words with reason, and he actually killed the killer. It’s so sinister and vicious!” Chu

Jie continued to add fuel to the flames.

“Brother Lu Chen…”

Murong Xue was stunned, her eyes widened, and she couldn’t believe it: “Why? Why do you want to

hurt people?”

In any case, Murong Gaochao was her cousin, and Lu Chen’s attack was so heavy that he wanted to

take someone’s life.

It’s so ruthless!

“Xue’er, it was Murong Gaochao who stabbed me first. It was a purely subconscious reaction on my

part.” Lu Chen explained.

At this time, the knife in Murong Gaochao’s hand had been put away without a trace by Liu Yannan.

“Stab you?”

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Murong Xue glanced up and down, but found that Lu Chen was not injured at all, and her eyes were

filled with disappointment: “Brother Lu Chen, are you still lying to me now?

Do you think I’m stupid and naive and therefore easily deceived?

Yes… I’m stupid, but I’m not blind!

If you don’t have ghosts in your heart, why do you want to hurt people?

I always thought you were a good person and always believed in you, but why? Why are you lying to

me? ”

As he spoke, Murong Xue’s eyes turned red.

She couldn’t believe it before and had always held out hope.

However, she could clearly see the scene of Lu Chen beating someone just now.

She had to doubt the other party’s motives.

Is it true that as his father said, Lu Chen deliberately approached her in order to climb the high

branches of the general’s mansion?

Could it be that the previous chance encounters and saving lives were all fake?

Do they all have other intentions?

“Xue’er, what are you talking about?”

Lu Chen frowned slightly, and said seriously: “I never lied to you, and I never thought you were stupid. I

really regard you as a friend.”

“friend?”

Murong Xue laughed at herself: “If you really regarded me as a friend, why did you kill my cousin? Why

did you kidnap me? Why did you do these things?!”

“I……”

Lu Chen was speechless for a moment.

He just said twice about the beating, but it was obvious that Murong Xue didn’t believe it.

In other words, the other party has regarded him as a sinner.

No matter how he explains it now or proves it to himself, it is of no avail.

When the seeds of doubt are planted, trust is completely gone.

Chapter: 2049

About this point, he has long been deeply aware of it.

“What? You’re speechless? You know you’re wrong, right?”

“It seems that my dad is right. Everything you did before was all hypocritical and had other purposes. It

was all for the sake of clinging to the dragon and the phoenix!”

“I thought, you are a very special person, unlike those ordinary people who are greedy for vanity.”

“But now I realize I was wrong, and very wrong.”

“There is no difference between you and those who deliberately approach me. You are just better at

pretending and deceiving.”

“You deceived me, a fool, into being so confused that I couldn’t understand the truth. You deceived me

so much that I almost turned against my family!”

“Lu Chen! I hate you! I hate you!”

Murong Xue almost yelled out the last sentence, and her tears couldn’t stop flowing down.

She paid with sincerity, thinking she could get her sincerity, but she didn’t expect that what she got in

the end was still deception.

She didn’t understand what she had done wrong?

Facing the question, Lu Chen was startled for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled.

He knew that Murong Xue had already made a choice.

In front of relatives and friends, the other party still chooses relatives after all.

There is nothing wrong with it, so, nothing to be angry about.

“Miss Murong, I’m sorry to disappoint you.”

Lu Chen didn’t explain, didn’t prove his innocence, but his eyes gradually became cold: “Actually, you

are right, I am a vain person and an ordinary person; but, I have never lied to you. It doesn’t matter

anymore.

I have nothing else to say to you. I just hope that you will be more vigilant in the future and be careful

about the people around you, otherwise you will easily suffer losses.

Okay, you are safe now, and I have finally given an explanation to the old general.

The next road is entirely up to you, no one can help you.

Do yourself a favor, we’ll meet later…”

After speaking, Lu Chen turned around and left without stopping at all.

Wherever they passed, the powerful coercion forced everyone to give way automatically, and no one

dared to stop it.

“Brother Lu Chen…”

Seeing the back of Lu Chen leaving, Murong Xue suddenly panicked and stretched out her hand to

keep him, but she didn’t know how to speak.

She had a faint premonition that she seemed to have missed something.

The relationship between the two of them that had finally gotten closer was completely shattered at this

moment.

From now on, we will be strangers.

“Xue’er, I’ve told you before that Lu Chen is not a good person. Now you finally see his true face. Stay

away from him in the future. This kind of trash is not worthy of you at all!” Liu Yannan fanned the flames

from the side.

“Yes, Xue’er, thank you for waking up early. Otherwise, if you continue to be deceived by him, you will

definitely regret it. You just saw it. This guy actually wants to kill people and silence them in public. It’s

so bad!” Chu Jie added. knife.

Chapter: 2050

“well……”

Murong Xue sighed softly, her complexion complicated.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she finally endured it.

After all, the gap between the two sides is still too big.

Even without these things, it is impossible for the two to have too deep intersection.

People who are not in the same circle will not be able to get together after all.

“Master! Master, wake up!”

A burst of exclamation interrupted Murong Xue’s thoughts.

Looking back, he found that Murong Gaochao, who was seriously injured, had fallen into a coma.

“Brother Gao Chao!”

Murong Xue was startled, and hurried forward to check the situation.

Lu Chen’s punch just now twisted Murong Gaochao’s abdomen.

The whole person was dying, as if he would belch at any moment.

“This damn Lu Chen actually hurt Young Master Gao Chao like this? This is simply too much!” Liu

Yannan gritted her teeth.

“If that guy hadn’t run so fast, I would have killed him!” Chu Jie said bitterly.

You can’t beat him, but that doesn’t stop you from saying some harsh words.

“Quick! Send him to the hospital!”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Murong Xue quickly greeted people, carried Murong Gaochao

into the car, and then went straight to Dongjiang Hospital.

After arriving at the hospital, it was another rescue at any cost.

It was not until late at night that Murong Gaochao was completely out of danger.

This is still under the condition that Lu Chen didn’t kill him and left a line, otherwise it would have been

cold.

At this moment, in the special ward.

Murong Gaochao lay unconscious, his face as pale as paper.

Murong Cheng and his party were standing by, all with solemn expressions.

In the past two days, there seemed to be a lot of troubles in the Murong family.

First Murong Yue was kicked by a horse, then Murong Cheng was hospitalized with internal injuries,

and now it is Murong Gaochao’s turn.

The most important thing is that behind these accidents, there seems to be the shadow of Chase Lu.

“Gao Chao! How is Gao Chao?!”

At this time, Murong Shan ran into the ward in a dusty state.

I had been busy all day and had just rested, but before I even went to bed, I heard the bad news about

my son.
