He knew that the son of Linda’s stepfather had offended the gang leader, so he took that opportunity to stab the guy into permanent disability.

Seth had made some congee in the kitchen.

As Zephyr returned with purchased beer from downstairs and saw Seth standing in a daze, he wanted to console him but did not know what to say. He walked in and handed him a can of beer.

They exchanged a smile and went to the living room. After a moment of silence, Seth chuckled wryly and asked, “Did you all… know about him a long time ago?”

Zephyr answered after an initial daze, “It’s all in the past. No need to get worked up over it.”

“I want to keep the past in the past too.” Seth sighed. “But it’s not the past to Linda…”
