"He was five years old when all this started."
Hearing it, Jiang Yuyan stopped drying his hair. She knew, Lu Qiang was tensed and worried about his brother. She was just trying to comfort him by doing all this instead of asking him why and what happened with Lu Lijun. Jiang Yuyan sat beside him on the edge of the bed.
Lu Qiang continued, "Since the start he was an incredibly sensitive and stubborn child but at the same time achingly sweet, thoughtful, and hilarious. I always thought he had a unique personality and he would be the most talented person in the family."
"He had a problem being socialized with others so we thought to send him in the outside world so that he can mingle with others. When he started elementary schooling, there was a drastic change in his behavior and it was more in a bad way."
Jiang Yuyan was listening to him attentively sitting beside him. "He suddenly became moody, angry, and explosive. His behavior was unpredictable and unbearable and whenever something went wrong, instead of talking he used to scream non-stop making a mess everywhere."
"Our family doctor asked us to take him to a child psychologist and he already predicted Lu Lijun being a gifted child. His condition worsened as I was busy with business and my father was not well. It was the result of us being ignorant of him. I kept aside everything and decided to look after him as he only listened to me and not to anyone else in the family. Lu Feng also left home so there was just me to look after him."
"I consulted the doctor Zhang who was the famous one at that time. He too said the same thing about Lu Lijun being a gifted child and advised me on how to take care of him and deal with the issues related to his temper. During that time, I took him everywhere I went whether it was in the office or on business trips. He was like my shadow."
"During that time, the company was facing a lot more problems so I couldn’t leave it too but I was unaware that enemies had their eyes on my weakness and that was Lu Lijun. Once Lu Lijun was a bit better, we enrolled him in a school and as advised by the doctor we had to skip a grade for him. He was in control and we thought there was nothing to be worried about but one day something happened that changed his life."
"He was just five years old and he was kidnapped by one of our enemies. It shook the entire family and leaving everything aside I just wanted to get him back and for that, I was ready to accept anything asked by the kidnappers. It was the move to get me down from my position as president of Lu corporation and it was planned by a few people who even before planned a few more things against the family."
"I was ready to give up my position but I knew those people won’t just stop with this and in future, they will come up with a few more problems so I too planned something but later I regretted it. Though I agreed to their demand, I asked San Zemin, my source of all the information in the business world, to get information about everything related to it."
"San Zemin was successful to get the information in three days and I was able to get who was behind hiring kidnappers. I let it slide and decide to go to Lu Lijun first. When I got to know where Lu Lijun was, I went to get him as soon as possible but just to get a shock of my life."
Lu Qiang was calm until he reached this part. His voice became heavy and he looked sad. Jiang Yuyan held his hand and caressed it to calm him down.
"Those kidnappers already got to know that even after agreeing to their request, I was planning and searching for Lu Lijun so they ran away leaving him alone in a dark and shabby godown alone with his hands and legs tied tightly with cable ties. His eyes were covered with a cloth strip and mouth was sealed with tape. He was lying there unconscious and I almost thought that I lost him."
Saying it and remembering those moments, tears rolled down from his eyes and he felt choked. Jiang Yuyan immediately got water for him. She could understand his situation better than anyone as she had been a victim before and she had witnessed her brother’s struggle for her. She could feel how Lu Qiang was feeling, his guilt of not being able to protect his younger brother.
"He was locked alone in a dark place for two days without any food or water and not even being able to see what was happening outside. He must have cried and wanted to ask for help but he couldn’t and finally gave up. After being rescued he was unconscious for a week and after he woke up, he was disturbed mentally to the great extent. He is afraid of the dark that’s why he was like that in the outhouse, last night"
"Hmm! I can understand it," Jiang Yuyan said.
"My Father was well till then so I gave up on the president’s position and decide to do my duty as his elder brother. Lu Lijun never allowed anyone around him other than me and Lu Feng. Since he was a child, I and Lu Feng were closer to him and he felt protected with us."
"This farmhouse was not like this before but my father converted it to give a look of Lu Mansion and created the garden the same as there. Lu Feng came back to Lu mansion when he got this news and stayed here with me and Lu Lijun here. This farmhouse, here we three spent one year together away from everyone as advised by the doctor while other family members kept coming to visit us in-between"

Note- So many readers ask me for mass release but it’s not easy for me to write so much given my current busy schedule... The mass release would be there on the day when we will be in TOP 10... I don’t know when that day will come but I will give straight away mass release of 10 chapters by keeping all my work aside.. (voting will just start today and it will take 2-3 days to show original ranking so don’t comment as saying, novel is in top 10 so give us mass release. the result will be there at the end of the week)
