Du Guanglong had the floor cleaned, then squatted down beside the bed, wrapped one arm around his head, and brought their noses close together.

"Third brother, there's no rush to take revenge, right?"

"You used to always tell me, 'As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback.' Everything is going according to plan, so you should be happy!"

The tragic state of Dongzi lingered in his mind.

While she was trying to comfort Lu Yi, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Lu Yi raised his arm, the pain in his abdomen making him even more clear-headed.

Grabbing Du Guanglong's shoulders, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Dongzi is gone? Where's Jiaojiao?"

Every word he uttered felt like a knife, relentlessly carving deep into his heart.

"Dongzi is gone!"

Du Guanglong gritted his teeth, "Jiaojiao... we haven't found her yet, but we found her mark next to a bridge pier on the south side of that river!"

There were no signs at all. The brothers mobilized all their forces, almost demanding the River God's help, but they couldn't find even a trace of Ruan Jiaojiao!

But he simply couldn't bear to see Lu Yi's heartbroken expression!

Sure enough, a strange light appeared in Lu Yi's empty eyes.

"So, Jiaojiao might still be alive!"

Du Guanglong nodded, not daring to say another word.

Lu Yi released him, got up, and choked out, "Take me to see Dongzi..."

...

The cold air in the morgue couldn't cool Lu Yi's burning heart.

Dongzi was shot once in each leg, and in addition to the gunshot wound, he also had a strangely shaped wound in his abdomen.

It appears there are two fatal wounds.

One is on the left chest, and the other is between the eyebrows.

"Third brother, I won't lie to you in front of Dongzi."

"He took that bullet to your forehead for you. He was shot in the left chest, but it didn't hit his heart. However, those people recognized you lying there, so..."

Du Guanglong didn't know who to blame.

No matter what you blame, it all comes down to yourself.

If he had realized earlier that the other party's target was Lu Yi, perhaps Dongzi would still be alive and well now.

"He really died in my place!"

His words still echo in my ears, yet he is gone!

Lu Yi leaned down and lay on Dongzi's cold, stiff body, unwilling to let go for a long time.

Because of this parting, they are truly separated by life and death.

His life was no longer filled with Dongzi constantly calling him "Third Brother, Third Brother".

"Third brother, there can only be one weapon that caused this wound!"

Lu Yi turned his face away, wiping away the tears. "What is it?"

"A triangular bayonet!"

"This is an extremely insidious melee weapon. Once you are stabbed by it, the grooves between its edges will cause a lot of blood to flow out."

"You don't need to blame yourself too much. This is the most meaningful choice Dongzi has ever made."

"Because even with the fastest possible treatment, he would die from excessive blood loss, even if we brought the doctor there."

Du Guanglong pulled Lu Yi aside, zipped up the freezer, and pushed him into the freezer compartment.

He stroked the cabinet door reluctantly, forcing back his grief, and said, "You should be happy for him; he was our good brother!"

Lu Yi calmed himself down and asked, "Where's my second brother?"

Ruan Jiaojiao has disappeared; he owes Huo Jingxi an explanation.

Dongzi protected him, but he failed to find a safe way out for Ruan Jiaojiao at the most critical moment.

"He's doing what he's supposed to do... Let's go, it's time for an answer!"

After saying that, Du Guanglong pushed the last section of the cabinet in.

...

The news of Lu Yi's injury spread more and more fantastically online.

Lu Baofei was stunned speechless by those wildly imaginative speculations.

"How can they have such wild imaginations? If they applied those ideas elsewhere, it would be hard not to achieve great results!"

"Wouldn't it be more perfect for my Lu family to kill this biological son while he's still at the Lu family, and then find some excuse to cover it up?"

"Some people even praise Yi'er for being hard to kill. Do they think our Lu family is so despicable and shameless?"

Lu Baoqi and Lu Baoyun's conversation came to an abrupt end.

"Second sister, have you forgotten that once when Lu Yi was riding in eldest sister's car, he almost died in a fire..."

This undeniable fact left Lu Baofei speechless.

Lu Baoyun rubbed her eyes and said, "If it wasn't us, could it be... Lu Han?"

She's not making this up.

She had already analyzed it with Gu Huainan.

The murderer is often the biggest beneficiary!

If Lu Yi were to die, Lu Han would be the biggest beneficiary of the Lu family.

Therefore, Lu Han's motive is very clear!

Lu Baofei furrowed her brows and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“Baoyun, based on your line of reasoning, I think the most likely culprit is from the Fan family.”

"Think about it, the Fan family's biological son died, and Fan Huijun gave birth to a daughter..."

"It's not surprising that Gu Huaibei and Fan Huijun would do something to Lu Yi, both openly and secretly, to prevent the Fan family's assets from falling into the hands of outsiders, isn't it?"

Lu Baofei knew perfectly well that Fan Huijun would not do that.

But she didn't want to see her sisters making such assumptions about Lu Han.

Lu Han's reputation is crucial to the Lu family; a large number of Lu Group's supporters are about to sway towards her...

If there is indeed evidence confirming that such a brutal internal strife occurred within the Lu family, wouldn't anyone be a fool not to withdraw their investment and flee?

Lu Han cannot withstand investigation.

He never had a moment's peace before, even under the watchful eyes of so many people. Now, he's all alone over there, far from the reach of the emperor!

"Second sister, how can you say that! I may not know much about the Fan family, but if they can accept Yi'er, how bad can their character be!"
