Huo Cheng had different views from his father and what the Huo family advocated. The Huo family practiced a wolf - like education model, where the children were constantly in conflict and intrigue with each other.
His father, the current head of the Huo family, had climbed to his position by stepping on the blood of countless brothers. Huo Cheng had witnessed his father's ruthless treatment of his own siblings and had been indoctrinated with such ideas.
At that time, his father had high hopes for Huo Cheng and involved him in many matters. So, Huo Cheng had seen and experienced more and more profoundly than his other siblings.
Even then, Huo Cheng refused to accept his father's indoctrination. In the Huo family, the eldest sister didn't act like an elder sister, the elder brother didn't act like an elder brother, the father didn't act like a father, and the mother didn't act like a mother.
Everyone taught Huo Cheng how to scheme and seize, but no one taught him how to love his siblings or his parents.
Huo Cheng had lost count of how many times he had been framed by his siblings. At first, he still held hope, thinking it was just a temporary situation.
Later, he realized that he was the naive one. Everyone in the Huo family was like this. His father taught him this way, his mother taught him this way, and his elder siblings showed him this through their actions.
Huo Cheng found that he was unable to change this situation. He couldn't influence his father's thoughts, stop his siblings, and even his mother was the same. On the path of cultivating him, they showed him in practice that he was alone.
Then, the fifth younger sister was born. This younger sister naturally liked Huo Cheng and got along well with him. Huo Cheng had liked this fifth younger sister since childhood and always held and comforted her. He not only thought she was cute but also because she was young and had a compatible personality with him.
Huo Cheng sometimes felt that the arrival of his fifth younger sister opened a window in his dark life in the Huo family. At that time, there were already contradictions between him and his father, and his father was trying hard to change him.
However, Huo Cheng's nature was different, so he tried his best to avoid his father. At that time, Huo Cheng was still in school. Except for some extra tasks, his life was no different from that of ordinary children.
Huo Cheng was smart. He could quickly finish his tasks and then go to play with his sister. He thought he was just saving time to accompany his sister, but in the eyes of his eldest sister and second elder brother, they were jealous. For the same tasks, the younger Huo Cheng always finished them earlier than them.
So, they often took the opportunity to provoke him and lead him on. Maybe because they were siblings, they could tell what Huo Cheng pursued and disliked, and they also knew about the contradictions between Huo Cheng and his father.
So, they often led him on, inciting him to do things that would anger his father and make his father increasingly disappointed in him.
Or they would deliberately provoke him and then, "coincidentally", let his father and mother hear his passionate speeches, which happened to be what his parents disliked the most.
In this way, Huo Cheng's image in his parents' eyes declined day by day. His father still tried to indoctrinate him, but his attitude became more and more impatient.
His attitude was just like it was now, extremely impatient. In his heart, he was almost regarding Huo Cheng as a rebellious son, but still held hope for this smart "rebellious son" and tried to change him.
In Huo Cheng's eyes, his parents became more and more strict. He gradually became a tool for completing tasks. More and more tasks were assigned to him, and they were no longer the uniformly - assigned ones.
They became extra tasks with time limits. His father and mother even used the excuse that Huo Cheng's school classes were a waste of time and asked him to study at home.
They isolated him from the outside world so that he could focus solely on the tasks. Huo Cheng became more and more tired of such a life, but he was powerless to change it.
His father, mother, and the entire Huo family were too powerful for him at that time. He didn't have the right to resist.
Whenever he couldn't figure things out, Huo Cheng would go and hug his fifth younger sister. She was different from others. Although she received the same education in the Huo family, she thought the same way as Huo Cheng. They both disliked the Huo family's education and atmosphere.
For a while, Huo Cheng chose to submit. He mechanically completed the tasks assigned by his parents and mechanically listened to their praises.
Then he would watch his elder siblings clench their fists secretly and try to frame him in private. Smart as he was, Huo Cheng blocked their attacks time and time again.
When he really couldn't stand it anymore, he would climb over the wall and go out to drink with Jiang Lihao, just like when he was a child. He would erase the surveillance footage. At that time, he was much smarter and didn't make the same mistakes as when he was a child.
He always did it perfectly without leaving any traces. However, his father and mother still noticed something was wrong.
One time when Huo Cheng went out, he found someone secretly following him. He used a small trick to catch the person, but when he took the person home, he found his father and mother waiting for him.
Huo Cheng had seen that person in a bar. Naturally, his father and mother thought that Huo Cheng had gone drinking. Of course, they also investigated Jiang Lihao and assigned a task to Huo Cheng.
It wasn't a difficult task, but Huo Cheng didn't want to take it.
So, his father and mother threatened him with Jiang Lihao, hinting that if he didn't complete the task, Jiang Lihao would take the punishment for him.
Huo Cheng had no choice but to accept the task. However, from that day on, he secretly made up his mind that one day he would surely leave the Huo family.
That was the first time Huo Cheng was so determined, and it was also the first threat from the Huo family that he had to face, forcing him to complete a task he didn't want to do.
After that, Huo Cheng changed his attitude. He no longer wanted to submit on the surface. He was no longer muddle - headed and mechanical in his life.
Smart as he was, he was even more proficient in using the skills the Huo family had taught him. Huo Cheng began to fight back.
He started to gradually cultivate his own power and develop himself. He also began to fight back against the various traps set by his eldest sister and second elder brother. Huo Cheng began to transform. From being reluctant to take action at first, he became a threat to others.
Step by step, Huo Cheng became different from before. The Huo family's wolf - like education seemed to finally take effect at this time. Huo Cheng really became a wolf, fierce and blood - thirsty, willing to do anything to achieve his goal.
At this time, his father was quite pleased. Finally, his youngest son was developing in the direction he had hoped for.
However, what he didn't expect was that all of Huo Cheng's changes were not for the Huo family, nor was he really going to fight for power. He just wanted to be able to make his own choice one day and leave the Huo family.
There were many unpleasant things when Huo Cheng left the Huo family. When he suddenly said he wanted to become independent, his father and mother were naturally unwilling to see the child they had spent years cultivating leave, fearing that all their efforts would go to waste.
