My Youth Began With Him

“We’re husband and wife after all, don’t force me…”

Lin Ya looked at him, her eyes darkening…

“I never forced you… You were the one who kept forcing me. When you brought Yan and Mian here, you thought of using this method to force me, right?”

Lin Ya was silent for five seconds…

“Old Lu, I didn’t want to… but I really need the Red Demon.”

“What if I don’t give it to you?”

Professor Lu also seemed to be pushing Lin Ya’s limits.

“Then… I can only kill Yan first and then Mian… Including the child in Mian’s stomach, three lives are at stake… They are all your loved ones, Old Lu… You’ve dedicated your entire life to scientific research. You’re not a good father nor a good grandfather… If you don’t hand over the Red Demon because of your own selfish reasons, you’ll lose the three people you love the most…”

“Do you know what you’re talking about, Lin Ya?”

Professor Lu’s voice changed. It no longer had a gentle and patient tone.

“Of course I know.”

“You keep saying that you want to kill them. Could it be… that they aren’t your children?”

“I can have many children… but there’s only one Red Demon. I need the Red Demon, and I need it more than anything else… So don’t agitate me, Old Lu… I tried to ease our relationship. I arranged for a dinner for the four of us to reunite. I took care of Mian meticulously and personally made dumplings for her. I never got angry at her, and I never punished her… How could I not love her? I also wanted the best outcome… That’s why I said, you’d better be good and hand the thing over. That way, everyone will be fine. Otherwise… you’ll regret it…”

“For that thing, you can even lay your hands on your own daughter… You’re really cruel.”

Professor Lu stared at Lin Ya with disappointment in his eyes…

“If you’d rather the children die than hand over the Red Demon, then what’s the difference between you and me? You’re even more vicious than me… Old Lu, we’re all adults. Don’t play word games or the emotional card… I’m being very straightforward. Give me what I want and I’ll let you go…”

“Ya, I don’t care about the Red Demon, really… It hasn’t been of any use to me all these years… I just want our family of four to be together… If I, Yan, and Mian can’t go out for the rest of our lives, we will stay in this underwater palace with you… Don’t be so obsessed with the Red Demon, okay? We’ll live happily ever after.”

Lin Ya did not expect Professor Lu to say this.

Professor Lu’s words were simple. Don’t think about having the Red Demon, neither would we all leave.

Everyone would just live here day after day, year after year.

Each of them should take a step back…

But how could Lin Ya agree?

She would definitely not agree.

“Old Lu… What are you thinking? The IQ of our family of four is higher than that of an entire country… Are the four of us geniuses going to stay here forever? Isn’t it a pity to waste our genius brains? Shouldn’t we go out and do something big?”

“What are you talking about? Like…?”

“Do you still need to ask me? Didn’t you already know the meaning of the Red Demon’s existence more than 20 years ago? Old Lu… You know what it represents, and you know how powerful it is… I dare to do what you won’t. The Red Demon won’t be of much use to you. Give it to me… I won’t let you down.”

“Old Lu, tell me, where is it?” Lin Ya approached Professor Lu.
