[“So, I will die if I return the Power Crystal to ChenChen?”
“Yes.”
“If I die, then I will be able to et my mother, right?”
“...”
“...”
.....
Perhaps Bai Chen and Tang Yani were now speechless after hearing how the boy innocently asked if he could et his mother or not after he died. The boy was very naive, and he probably thought that he and his mother would be able to reunite if they were both dead.
But, the logic wasn’t that simple, was it? That was why Bai Chen looked helpless when he heard the boy’s question, and he couldn’t help but think that the boy was so ridiculous even if he knew that the boy was just a child who was still very green.
“I didn’t think you would et your mother so soon even if you died,” Tang Yani replied after she let out a heavy sigh. “Your mother’s soul and yours may not be in the sa place even if you both die, and that’s why there is no guarantee that you will et her soon even if you die.”
Patiently, Tang Yani tried to explain the situation to the boy, and Bai Chen carefully listened to her. He sohow thought that maybe the boy was now blinking his innocent eyes at his mother as he looked so clueless, and Bai Chen thought that the sight might be funny.
Suddenly, he rembered that the boy’s face wasn’t completely visible due to the gauze covering the boy’s forehead, and Bai Chen suddenly thought of sothing, ‘Maybe the kid is sick, right? The boy no longer has a mother, and he is also sick. Maybe that’s why Tang Yani seems to care about him.’
Bai Chen assud that mothers could be selfish sotis when their children were in danger, but he could tell that Tang Yani was quite patient with the person who accidentally hard her son, and he thought the woman was a pretty good person when he thought about her character.
‘Soone like her has the heart to steal soone else’s husband? Why do I think that it is impossible for soone like her to want to ruin another family’s happiness?’ Bai Chen suddenly thought of that, but then he was surprised by the sudden notification he received from the system.
{DING!
PROGRESS OF THE MISSION ‘FIND THE REAL CULPRIT BEHIND BAI CHEN’S MOTHER’S DEATH’

Bai Chen’s heart skipped a beat as his ears caught the notification from the system. He thought it had been a long ti since he had heard a chanical sound in his head, but then he suddenly heard that sound when he didn’t even know where he was.
It seed that he was in another dinsion of this world, but the system remained in his head, and maybe that was the reason why he was still able to receive the notification from the system.
‘So, it was not true that Tang Yani wanted to destroy Bai Guowei’s family by becoming the third wheel between him and his wife?’ Bai Chen’s next question was directed to the system, but the answer he got from the system was unsatisfactory.
{PLEASE BE GRATEFUL, HOST. THE SYSTEM HAS REWARDED YOU WITH SO MANY POINTS, SO PLEASE DON’T BE GREEDY}
“...” Bai Chen was once again speechless, but the one who made him unable to form words in his head at this ti was the system.
Bai Chen looked helpless because of the system, but then he focused his attention on sothing else when he once again heard a voice, but it didn’t belong to the system now.
“So, I won’t be able to et my mother even if I die? But I also want to save ChenChen. He might die if he doesn’t have the crystal in his body, right?” The voice belonged to the unknown boy, and Bai Chen sohow felt a warmth in his chest when he heard how the boy sounded so concerned about him.
“I already told you that my ChenChen has two crystals in his body, right?” A reply ca from Tang Yani. “I’m not too sure about it because I’m only human and not a werewolf, but I feel like my ChenChen will be fine with only one crystal in his body. I just checked his pulse, and his heart beats normally even if he still shut his eyes. I’m sure he’ll get better soon.”
Bai Chen could hear how Tang Yani was trying to comfort the unknown boy and probably didn’t want to see how the boy was devoured by his guilt.
However, he did not hear a reply from the boy even after a minute had passed, and instead, he heard Tang Yani speak again, “ChenChen was trying hard to save you even if he was just an ignorant kid, and I hope you will appreciate how he even gave you his Power Crystal. From now on, you must live well even if you can’t live with your mother anymore. Don’t let ChenChen feel sad once he wakes up.”
Even Tang Yani’s words were enough to make Bai Chen’s chest warm. Perhaps he was not related by blood to the woman, but he sohow felt happy when he could hear her sincerity.
Soone like her happily destroyed another family? He didn’t think so, and that was why Bai Chen wanted to gather more information so that he could find out the truth behind everything related to that woman.
“By the way, you’re from Wu Li, right? After this, you should return to your ho, and you don’t have to worry about ChenChen anymore. I’m his mother, and I will definitely protect him at all costs,” Tang Yani spoke again, and Bai Chen could feel how his body was lifted off the ground, and he assud that it was Tang Yani who carried Bai Chen’s small body in her arms.
He could feel how the woman was starting to walk, but then she suddenly stopped before saying, “Ah, I forgot to ask your na. May I know your na, little boy?”
Bai Chen was also curious about the boy’s identity, and that was why he had been quietly waiting for the boy’s answer.
“I was born next to the river nine years ago, so my parents nad Wu Jiang.”]
