Chapter 500: No Way Back
"No, it wasn't me... It wasn't me... I was just following orders. Really, please, spare me..."
In less than ten minutes, Lu Quan spilled out everything he knew.
Just as 035 analyzed, they were a group of people who were paid to do things and didn't know any inside information. But thanks to him, Li Muhan and others knew that this matter was indeed related to the Xia family.
Three months ago.
Xia Ke, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, gave the dozen or so security guards a large sum of money, saying it was severance pay, but before leaving, they had to do something for her.
The young lady had custom-made a batch of suits for them to wear, and then she started to attack some civilians, including Luo Yang's parents and the three little girls from the university.
As for why, they didn't ask much. After doing these things, they burned the clothes, took the money and left.
Everyone else left Tianhai City because they were not fools and knew how serious the consequences of doing these things would be. Only Lu Quan was hoping for a lucky break.
He used his previous connections in the underworld boxing world to find some thugs and rented an entire apartment building on the old street, but he didn't expect that he would still be in big trouble.
Su Xue and Yin Qi both said that there was nothing wrong with what Lu Quan said and it should be true, so Li Muhan called the hospital, asked Su Xue to bandage Lu Quan's wound, and left the apartment building early.
When he reached the first floor, Li Muhan was shocked.
The group of people who were originally tied up were now lying on the ground, almost all unconscious.
Looking at the instigator of all this, Xia Yue was sitting on the steps, supporting her chin with her hand, looking out the corridor with boredom.
After seeing Li Muhan and others coming down, she immediately ran up.
"Is it over?"
"It's over. What's going on? These people..."
"They're not being honest. You said that if they're not being honest, I can take action. I didn't kill anyone."
Xia Yue moved closer to Li Muhan, as if expecting some praise.
Li Muhan rubbed her head.
"Well, you're the best. I'll buy you some chocolate when I get home tonight."
Lin Ziyu on the side rolled his eyes, turned his head away and whispered, "Oh my, you're the best. You bought chocolates at night. Do you really need to buy chocolates at night? Tsk tsk tsk."
Li Muhan kicked Lin Ziyu out of the corridor.
A few people returned to the car and drove out of the old street first to avoid encountering the ambulance later. It would be difficult to deal with them because they did not have forged documents.
As for Lu Quan, he has been given "friendly" advice to be careful with his words.
So now the question comes to the next stage.
"It's been confirmed that this matter is closely related to the Xia family. So, Xia Yue, do you know the eldest lady named Xia Ke?"
Li Muhan sat in the passenger seat and turned to look at Xia Yue.
Xia Yue was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"...She is my adoptive parents' eldest daughter. So, she can be considered my sister, right?"
"I don't quite understand." Lin Ziyu interrupted, "Xia Ke ruined your reputation like this, didn't you ever doubt her at all?"
"I don't really care."
Xia Yue shrugged, looking completely indifferent.
Before she met Li Muhan, her adoptive parents had just passed away, and the cause of death seemed to be some serious illness. In fact, Li Muhan was a little confused at the time.
How could both of them fall ill and die at the same time? Doesn't anyone have any doubts about this?
"I, I don't know. They only told me that my adoptive parents died of a strange disease, and they didn't even let me see them for the last time."
Xia Yue was like a child who had done something wrong. After she finished speaking, she looked at Li Muhan timidly: "Did I...did I do something wrong?"
"It's not that you did anything wrong."
Li Muhan touched her head gently.
"Tell me who that Xia Ke is. Is she an alien?"
"No, she's human, but she has a congenital disease and can't walk on her own. I heard she'll be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life. But she's very kind and gentle...Apart from my adoptive parents, she's the only one in my family who treats me the best."
The car fell into silence.
It cannot be said that Xia Yue’s words cannot be used as a reference at all.
But with her personality, it is easy for others to deceive her.
Finally, it was 035 who broke the silence.
"You'll never get the truth by sitting at home. If possible, go directly to the Xia family."
"You can't just go there whenever you want."
Lin Ziyu sighed: "The Xia family is different from those nouveau riche families like the Zhao and Jia families. The Xia family is truly a family involved in politics. Let's go back to the Special Management Bureau and ask Director Lin to help arrange an identity for us."
It seemed that there was no other way, but just when Lin Ziyu was about to drive back to the Special Management Bureau, Su Xue suddenly spoke.
"If you just need an opportunity to get in touch with the Xia family...well, then I'll give it a try."
Ten minutes later.
"Well, okay, thank you very much."
After finishing her phone call on the street, Su Xue returned to the car. Seeing everyone looking at her, Su Xue felt a little embarrassed.
"I've lost contact with my parents, but my uncle has some influence in Tianhai City, so I asked him to help me arrange something. I said I wanted to visit the eldest daughter of the Xia family and to communicate the relationship between the Su family and the Xia family."
yes.
Li Muhan suddenly remembered.
If we talk about competing for family background, don’t we have a ready-made young lady in our team?
"Then what are you waiting for, Ziyu, let's go."
Li Muhan's enthusiasm to strike while the iron is hot was stopped by Su Xue.
"Wait a minute, Brother Mu Han... um, can you accompany me home first? I need to do some preparations."
"Going home? Going back to the dormitory arranged by the Special Management Bureau?"
Lin Ziyu asked.
Su Xue smiled bitterly, then took out her cell phone and called up an address. This was an address that the navigation software could not find at all. It was located in a remote location at the northern end of Tianhai City.
"Send me back to the Su family."
Li Muhan originally thought he would see the kind of luxurious manors and villas that only appear in TV dramas.
Unexpectedly, it was very ordinary, just an ordinary two-story villa.
Not to mention the Su family, there is a wealthy area in Tianhai City, and the villas there are much more magnificent than this two-story house.
But Li Muhan soon understood.
The Su family has many people in politics. Although its roots are in the chaebol, it is somewhat different from other families. It must be low-key in some aspects.
At this moment, a maid who was sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the door was a little confused when she saw the car parked at the door. It seemed that there were not many visitors here normally.
"...Excuse me, are you looking for..."
She walked to the car window, and before she could finish her question, Su Xue got out of the car.
After seeing Su Xue, the maid dropped the broom in her hand directly to the ground.
"Miss...you're back!?"
"Aunt Zhang, I just came back to get some things. Are my parents home?"
Su Xue greeted the maid with a smile, and the maid was very excited.
"The husband and wife are out. I'll call them right away..."
The maid was about to go back to the house, but was immediately stopped by Su Xue.
"Oh, Aunt Zhang, no need. I really just came back to get something. There's no need to tell them if they're not at home."
Then Su Xue smiled and said to her companions in the car behind her: "Brother Mu Han, please wait for me in the car... I haven't been home for a long time, and my room must be a mess."
"No, no, miss! I clean for you every day. This is what my wife asked me to do. I'm just looking forward to your return one day!"
Looking at the maid's eyes filled with tears.
Su Xue smiled bitterly and sighed.
"Aunt Zhang...thank you so much for taking care of my parents..."
But my hands are already stained with blood, I... can't go back...
The last words lingered in her mind, and then she walked past the stunned maid and into the house alone.
