He has been suffering these past few days, and stubble has sprouted on his chin.

This doesn't sound like something you'd just say.

"My dad...would he do that?"

Lu Baoyun was in a daze, recalling the various times Lu Yi was bullied by his parents and sisters when he was in the Lu family, and suddenly lost faith in them.

The Lu family is now in disarray, and she doesn't even know where her eldest sister, Lu Baozhi, is.

Third Sister Lu Baoqi became famous faster than a rocket.

In just one year, she has gone from a scandal-ridden, obscure actress to one of the top-tier actresses.

And then there's my second sister, Lu Baofei, who's always so busy that she's practically invisible. She even dreams that her second sister has turned into a machine that never stops running!

As for her adopted younger brother, Lu Han, he rarely contacted her after going abroad.

Even when they occasionally send messages or make phone calls, it's all just empty talk.

"You can't be sure either, right?"

Seeing her expression, Gu Huainan couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

If they treat their own daughters this way, what about strangers?

As the story spread online, it became incredibly surreal.

Some netizens, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, started fabricating stories, subtly and overtly trying to pinpoint the murderer to the Lu family.

Even more outrageous, some netizens reposted a short video.

They specifically named Liang Shiyue as the "female lead"...

That's a restricted video! Even with the key parts blurred, the explicit and shocking scenes are still undeniable.

And just like that, Lu Yi and Liang Shiyue both became trending topics.

"Huainan..."

Lu Baoyun was organizing her thoughts, wanting to ask him to verify something, when suddenly someone knocked loudly on the car window.

"Huainan, Baoyun, thank you for your hard work!"

With dark circles under her eyes, Liang Shiyue sat wearily into the car.

"Lu Yi is awake?"

Seeing a hint of relief on her face, Lu Baoyun turned her head from the passenger seat and looked Liang Shiyue up and down.

"Yes, he's awake... However, he's still a bit emotionally unstable. It's better if you wait for Brother Long to call you before you go to see him!"

The two girls exchanged glances, then said nothing more, their eyes simultaneously welling up with tears.

Dongzi died from multiple gunshot wounds, and Ruan Jiaojiao's whereabouts remain unknown...

This is yet another heavy blow to Lu Yi!
