Chapter 995: Tragedy Doomed by a Difference in Thought

Lu Yuanqing is dead?

Although I knew that he was an enemy and one of the masterminds behind the murder of Xiao Shiqiu, I still felt sad when I suddenly heard about his ending.

The eldest young master of the Lu family, who was once elegant, witty, and good at pleasing girls, ended up like this.

"The news was passed back to the bureau," Qiu Binjie looked at me, "and Wen Congwu immediately told Si Kouting, who was still resisting in the interrogation room, the news."

At first, Si Kouting didn't believe it at all. She sneered and said that she and Lu Yuanqing only knew each other because of work. Even if they had a good relationship, Lu Yuanqing's death had nothing to do with her.

But when Wen Congwu showed her the photos of the scene and the preliminary autopsy report, she broke down.

Qiu Binjie paused, sighed, and said, "She seemed to have lost all her bones. She collapsed in the chair, completely broken.

She first trembled all over, and then began to cry hysterically, crying heart-wrenchingly and shouting until her voice became hoarse.

She cried for a long time, until she had no more strength left, and then she began to confess incoherently.

"What did she say?" I felt an indescribable emotion in my heart. As an orphan, Lu Yuanqing might be her last relative.

"I've told you everything." Qiu Binjie's eyes were cold.

Lu Yuanqing is indeed Si Kouting's biological brother, and their father is the one who kidnapped Xiao Shiqiu and his brother.

When their father died, Sikou Ting was not yet born, so she was a posthumous child.

When their mother gave birth to her, she gave birth prematurely due to excessive grief, which damaged her body. In addition, she was too tired from raising two children alone, and her health deteriorated.

Although their father's death had nothing to do with Xiao Shiqiu, their mother stubbornly believed that it was Xiao Shiqiu who killed their father, and constantly instilled in them the idea that their father was an irreconcilable enemy.

A few years later, their mother died of illness and they were sent to an orphanage.

Lu Yuanqing was adopted by a distant relative of the Lu family, but he only wanted a boy, so he left Si Kouting alone.

Later, Sikouting was adopted by a couple who had lost their daughter, who are now her parents.

Although the brother and sister were separated since childhood, Lu Yuanqing found her when he grew up, and the two have always kept in touch.

She had an almost pathological dependence and admiration for Lu Yuanqing, and felt that he was her only relative in the world.

She did whatever Lu Yuanqing asked her to do.

Except this time, Lu Yuanqing originally wanted someone to get rid of Xiao Shiqiu directly, but she firmly disagreed.

Qiu Binjie said this, looking at me with complicated eyes, "She said she insisted on getting rid of you, saying that she wanted Xiao Shiqiu to experience the pain of losing a loved one."

However, Lu Yuanqing only wanted to fulfill his mother's last wish and avenge his father. This was the first time that the brother and sister had a disagreement.

Si Kouting has never seen her father, so she is not obsessed with revenge for her father. Instead, she hates me to the core for taking Xiao Shiqiu away from me.

She had been with Xiao Shiqiu for several years and knew that his relationship with his ex-wife was cold and divorce was only a matter of time.

After waiting for a long time for Xiao Shiqiu to get divorced, she thought her chance had come, but she didn't expect me to interfere.

At first she thought Xiao Shiqiu was just playing around with me because of my youth, but she didn't expect that he was serious and even transferred her away from him because of me.

This made her unbearable and she wanted me dead.

Lu Yuanqing loved his sister very much and felt that she had suffered a lot, so he finally compromised.

However, when Sikouting asked them to kill me, she did not explicitly ask them to do something to my car. Instead, she tactfully asked them to tamper with my car. The two people who were in charge did carry out the order in a very strict manner.

She didn't expect that Xiao Shiqiu would be the one in trouble, which made her feel uneasy.

When the foreign base was destroyed, Lu Yuanqing began to prepare to flee.

They were originally going to set off the night before yesterday, but Si Kouting insisted on seeing Xiao Shiqiu again. Lu Yuanqing disagreed no matter what and said that if she went back, he would leave on his own and would no longer care about her.

Si Kouting still sneaked away without telling anyone. After Lu Yuanqing found out, he postponed his escape plan for the sake of his sister.

The truth was revealed, Lu Yuanqing was dead, and Si Kouting was arrested, but my heart was still heavy.

Because of a twisted obsession, Lu Yuanqing lost his life and ruined his sister's life.

It also caused my innocent husband to suffer such an unexpected disaster.

I sighed. Lu Yuanqing really cared about this sister who had been separated from him for many years.

Perhaps it was because he lost both his parents at a young age that he cared so much about his only relative.

But when I think about what the Lu family has done, I have no sympathy for them. From the moment his father had evil thoughts, perhaps the two children were destined to have a tragic life.

"Uncle," I said, my voice a little hoarse, "How long will Si Kou Ting be sentenced to?"

It’s not that I care about her that much, but she wasn’t locked up long enough. What if she still wants to harm me after she gets out?

Qiu Binjie seemed to understand my concerns. "She's one of the main culprits in this vicious attempted murder case. The evidence is irrefutable. She's likely sentenced to more than ten years to life imprisonment. There aren't any circumstances that could mitigate her sentence at this point."

He stood up, walked to the glass window, looked at Xiao Shiqiu who was still sleeping inside, took a deep breath and said, "The case is solved, the criminals have been brought to justice. Mengmeng, the threat to your and your child's safety has now been resolved."

The security threat was lifted, but the worries in my heart did not disappear.

I subconsciously touched my lower abdomen, walked to the glass window, and my eyes fell on Xiao Shiqiu's profile.

"Shiqiu," I looked at Xiao Shiqiu and murmured, "The case is solved, the bad guys are caught, it's time for you to wake up..."

After a long while, Qiu Binjie raised his hand and gently patted my shoulder, "Su Yi said that Xiaoqiu's physical indicators are improving.

He will wake up, give him some time, and give yourself some time too.

The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself and your children."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Shiqiu deeply again, turned around and left the room.

After Qiu Binjie left, I and the sleeping Xiao Shiqiu were the only ones left in the room again.

The case was solved, the criminals were caught, Lu Yuanqing died, Si Kouting was imprisoned, and the sword hanging over their heads seemed to have disappeared.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm and life was back on track, except that Xiao Shiqiu was still sleeping.

With the main culprit arrested, the news that Xiao Shiqiu was seriously injured and hospitalized could no longer be suppressed.

After all, I've been using the excuse of 'business trip abroad' for almost a month now, and I can't come up with any more.

The news was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, quietly creating ripples among the circle of relatives and friends.

However, no official statement has been released, and the news is only known to a small number of people closest to him.

As for my pregnancy, Qiu Binjie's instructions are still ringing in my ears. In order to prevent the first and third branches of the Xiao family from having any inappropriate thoughts, this matter is still kept secret from the outside world.

After receiving the news, the first to rush over were Xiao Shiqiu's close brothers - Tang Yi, Ling Xiuzhi, and Gu Muchen.
