However, at this time, An Rugu’s clear voice came from his phone’s speakers, “Actually… your father has not remarried.”

<Older Brother Kai>: “???”

The audience in the livestream channel: “???”

[Holy shit, shit, shit, real or fake?]

[He didn’t make money by remarrying, so how did his father become so rich?]

[No, his dad had good looks and good temperament when he was young. How could it be possible that no one chased him after he has been outside for more than 30 years?]

An Rugu took a sip of tea and moistened her throat. “After your father was in a car accident, he was sent to the hospital by the owner of the car that caused the accident. Although his life was saved, his memory was lost. The owner of the car that caused the accident helped him re-enter society. She also helped him start a business, but the two are not married. In your father’s marital palace, there is still your mother.”

<Older Brother Kai> was shocked. “Are you sure he did not marry? Didn’t he like the owner of the car that caused the accident?”

An Rugu hummed agreement, “It’s true that your father has a lot of peach blossoms, but they’re all just one-sided, that is, they like your father, but your father doesn’t like them. This includes the owner of the car that caused the accident.”

<Older Brother Kai> scratched his head. It was very difficult to comprehend why his father would resist the temptation. He asked curiously, “Younger sister, does this mean that my father has not fully lost his memory and still remembers us a little, and this is why he didn’t remarry?”

Otherwise, he really couldn’t think of any other reason why a man in his prime would remain single for more than thirty years.

[Older brother Kai’s father probably always remembered that someone was waiting for him, so he never got married.]

[In fact, there are medical cases where people who have lost their memory often have memory fragments flashing back in their minds. Maybe that is why he did not remarry.]

[He forgot everything but did not forget his love for his family. I’m sobbing.]

[Knock me to death! Knock me to death! Today’s two couples really knocked me unconscious!]

<Older Brother Kai> had a lot of complicated feelings in his heart and eagerly awaited An Rugu’s words.

Faced with his expectant eyes, An Rugu nodded, “Yes, he should still somewhat remember that he has a family.”

<Older Brother Kai> was immediately overjoyed. At this time, there were footsteps, and the sounds of people talking could be heard from outside. Two men walked into the car repair shop.

The one in the lead was probably in his fifties. He wore a shirt, trousers, and black-rimmed glasses. He had an elegant temperament. The person behind was younger; <Older Brother Kai> recognized him as the secretary who had sent the black car to the repair shop.

When <Older Brother Kai> heard the noise, he looked towards the two men, still holding his cell phone. Suddenly, his feet felt like they were filled with lead, and he couldn’t move. He was frozen on the spot.

The middle-aged man had a head full of black hair mixed with a lot of silver threads. He had some wrinkles on his face. His appearance was no longer as good as when he was young, and he now had a more weathered maturity. It would perhaps be difficult for ordinary people who knew him before to recognize him.

But <Older Brother Kai> recognized him at a glance. 

Wasn’t this man his father?

The dear person who has been missing for more than thirty years reappeared in front of him, and it was as if the floodgates had been opened, and the tears wouldn’t stop.

His entire being felt like it was split into two. One part wanted to ask his father if he still remembered him, but the other part was hesitant and worried that he would scare his father.

When his dad disappeared, he was only six years old, and his dad probably wouldn’t recognize him as the strong and sturdy person he was now.

Being so close to his hometown yet so timid¹.

He kept staring at the middle-aged man, causing the other man to look at him as if he noticed something.

Seeing his reaction, <Older Brother Kai> quickly turned around to hide his tears and pretended that nothing was wrong.

At this time, a complex look flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes. The man sighed softly and fell into deep silence.

… …

The secretary standing next to him was very confused when he saw the middle-aged man’s reaction.

His boss ran a small company with more than 50 employees, and the situation was not bad. A few days ago, when the boss went out to discuss some business deal, the car in front suddenly jerked to a stop, causing his boss’ car to hit the car in front in a rear-end collision.

Fortunately, the airbag deployed, and the doctor said that the boss only had a slight concussion and no other problems.

But the boss did not stay in the hospital to rest; he left the hospital that same day. Even he, as his secretary, did not know where the boss went.

When he reappeared, the boss instructed him to take the car that had been involved in the accident to a certain repair shop.

Why was this car—which was clearly still under warranty—not sent to a 4S shop but to a small, unknown repair shop in the city?²

Leaving aside the question of cost, could a small car repair shop like this do the repairs?

He didn’t understand what the boss was thinking, so he raised his doubts, but the boss told him—very firmly—to do as he said.

The secretary had no choice but to send the car over to this small repair shop, still full of misgivings. After thinking about it again, he felt it was still within reason for the boss. After all, the boss had too many strange habits.

Strangely enough, the boss liked the number two hundred thousand very much. Every time he saved enough money, he would go to the bank by himself. He always saved two hundred thousand without letting his secretary interfere.

He was already this old but had no wife or any children. Who would he leave the money he saved to?

One time, the secretary couldn’t help himself and asked the boss this question. 

The boss looked confused, then shook his head and said, “… Of course, I’m keeping it for my own.”

Since the two men came in, many sharp-eyed viewers in the livestream channel immediately noticed that something was wrong.

[Oh my God, older brother Kai had been so emotional just now. Could that man be his father?]

[I took the screenshot of the photo he showed us earlier and compared it to the man. I can’t say that the facial features of the two people are unrelated, I can only say that they are exactly the same.]

[Although he is many years older, he is still recognizable if one looks carefully. The host said that he has not remarried, and he must still be thinking about his family. Older brother Kai, go and acknowledge him!]

[One person wrote in blood asking to be acknowledged by family!]

[Two people wrote in blood!]

When <Older Brother Kai> saw these barrages, he was so torn inside that he lowered his voice, as low as a mosquito humming, “Why don’t we just forget about it today. I’ll wait and observe him carefully and see if he still thinks of us. If he really still misses us, then I can show up again in front of him.”

<Older Brother Kai> thought, what if, instead of still thinking about the family he left behind, when he goes up to his dad asking him acknowledge him as his son, his dad actually thinks that he’s crazy and calls the police?

However, An Rugu looked at the middle-aged man who appeared within view of the camera and felt relieved.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. When she raised her eyes, her gaze sharp, as if they could pierce people’s hearts, “Actually, your father was in a car accident eight days ago, and the collision caused him to regain his memory.”

This was why she thought that the man’s experience was so strange.

These words from An Rugu caused quite a stir— everyone in the livestream channel was stunned.

[F*ck me, f*ck me, f*ck me. Isn’t his father so pitiful? After two car accidents, his brain has probably been knocked stupid.]

[The host has said before that his father’s body was prone to car accidents.]

[But if he already regained his memory, why did he not come to recognize his family? Now that he is rich, is he dissatisfied with his former family?]

[I don’t rule out this possibility. He even sent his  car to his son’s repair shop. Is it because he wants to first observe whether this son was worthy of recognition?]

[The father is so rich, but the son is mediocre. It is very likely that he feels that this son has no future.]

[Plus one, many businessmen are very realistic, are careful with calculations, and do not do business without evil.]

However, An Rugu shook her head secretly when she saw these comments.

The facts were completely opposite to what the barrage said.

The characters of this father and son were almost carved out of the same mold. They were both hard-working and willing to endure hardships.

More than thirty years ago, the pre-destined man’s father went to the city to work hard in order to help his wife’s brother pay off his debts. As a result, he got into a car accident while in the city. His brain was affected, and he lost his memory. He couldn’t go back home.

However, a few days ago, his body that was prone to car accidents had another car accident. This somehow dislodged the blood in his brain, and the memories of more than thirty years ago resurfaced.

This was why he sent his car to a small, unknown repair shop.

But the truth was, the two of them had the same delicate thoughts.

The son was worried that his father did not recognize him, and he may not acknowledge him at all.

The dad also felt that he had been missing from his son’s life for more than thirty years, and his son might hate him.

After all, who would believe it if someone told you they had amnesia?

The son was so close to his hometown and yet so timid—why would the father not be the same?

If An Rugu didn’t expose the truth, these two people would have to observe each other repeatedly for a long time before they dared to come out and recognize each other.

However, after she punctured the paper covering the window, everything suddenly became clear.

After being stunned for a long time, <Older Brother Kai> suddenly stood up from the table and mustered up the courage to walk up to the middle-aged man.

His face was flushed, and he opened his mouth to say something but the words suddenly got stuck, causing him to falter and unable to say the word ‘Dad’. 

“D—… Boss, what do you want to see?”

The middle-aged man felt a little flattered that his son came up to him and looked at him deeply, “Just to see my car.”

“Well… it’s already been repaired, and it’s right there!” <Older Brother Kai> quickly raised his hand and pointed to the black car.

The middle-aged man walked to the side of the black car. He looked at the car’s condition and pretended to be casual, saying, “You are really good at repairing cars. Where did you learn your trade?”

“I learned it from my master.”

“Your master?”

“I stopped going to school in junior high, and I apprenticed to learn auto repair from my master in the village,” <Older Brother Kai> answered honestly.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man couldn’t help it—his eyes turned red, and he looked away, “Studying is so important, why didn’t you finish studying?”

<Older Brother Kai> was very free and easy with his answer, “I also wanted to study, but we had no money for me to go. My family had too many debts, and I can’t help pay them off without going to work.”

“How much was this debt that made you work so hard?”

“Two hundred thousand.”

The middle-aged man paused and put his hands into his pockets. There were many bank cards in his pockets, and each bank card contained exactly 200,000 yuan.

He wanted to hand the cards over, but after clutching his hands on them for a long time, he made no move.
