Chapter 141 The Other Leg
Gu Suixing already knew about those old, messy stories and had no interest in hearing them a second time.
"Get to the point."
Huo Huai'an choked for a moment, "After Uncle Xie came back from City C, he said he has someone he likes. Guess who it is?"
Something flashed through Gu Suixing's mind, and he straightened up.
"You should have heard about Aunt Lu. People who are on good terms with the Lu family know that Aunt Lu has only traveled far from home twice in her life: once from S City to A City, and once to C City. Not long after Aunt Lu returned from C City, she became pregnant..."
Huo Huai'an paused, his shoulders slumping. "Of course, even if it's proven that Lu Nian's background is related to Uncle Xie, it doesn't prove that Tang Ya caused these two car accidents. I'm still investigating the specifics, and it will take some more time."
As he finished speaking, Huo Huai'an sighed, "I asked the old servants who worked for the Lu family back then. One of them said that Aunt Lu's last phone call was to Uncle. Uncle probably knew something, but unfortunately he... Aunt probably knows something too. You can ask her yourself later."
His aunt suddenly asked him to investigate Tang Ya. At first, he didn't understand how someone who wanted to harm Lu Nian could be involved with Tang Ya. However, he was still smart enough to figure it out. Tang Ya and Lu Nian were not from the same generation, so it couldn't be a grudge between Lu Nian and Tang Ya. It could only be Lu Nian's previous generation, and Lu Nian's previous generation only had one person: Aunt Lu.
So he investigated Tang Ya, Aunt Lu, and the connection between the two. After piecing together the information according to the timeline, he unexpectedly found something.
Huo Huai'an was naturally shocked to discover that Lu Fengqing's background was actually related to Xie Chaoyin.
Although both families live in City A, if it weren't for this ancestor being with Lu Nian, the Lu family and the Xie family would never have been connected in eight lifetimes. Who would have thought that the young lady of the Lu family, who rarely left her home and was almost never seen by anyone, had a relationship with the third young master of the Xie family?
As for whether this matter had anything to do with Tang Ya, Huo Huai'an wasn't sure. However, since both drivers involved in the car accidents had worked at a company called Yingcheng, and considering the grudge between Xie Chaoyin and Tang Ya, he felt that Tang Ya was somewhat involved.
But everything requires evidence, and all he could do was continue the investigation.
Huo Huai'an sighed again, "I can't ask Uncle Xie directly, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
So many things have happened lately that he's almost completely exhausted.
Gu Suixing remained silent and did not speak.
Huo Huai'an hesitated for a moment, but still told her about Lu Fengqing being kidnapped today.
Sure enough, this ancestor was emanating a chilling aura, which was also mixed with murderous intent.
“I didn’t know about this beforehand.” Huo Huai’an rubbed his nose. “Lu Nian is fine now. She’s taken Sui Sui back to Xinghe. You can handle the rest yourself.”
Today's matter, in the end, is still a matter for the Gu family. Even if he wanted to seek justice for Lu Nian, he couldn't interfere and could only let this ancestor handle it himself.
"The doctor said you'll have to stay here for a few more days. Get some rest. I won't bother you anymore." Huo Huai'an stood up.
Just as I was about to reach the ward door, I heard a voice from behind me that sounded like something out of an ancestor: "Try starting with Tang Mingyue."
Huo Huai'an turned around, his eyes slightly brightening.
Yes, if we're talking about who else in the Tang family is close to Tang Ya, besides Old Master Tang, it's Tang Mingyue.
Tang Mingyue caused the intrusion into Gu's security system, and Gu Suixing has leverage over her, so they might actually be able to find out something from her.
Just as Huo Huai'an was about to open the door, he suddenly heard something, turned around and said, "I haven't told Lu Nian that you've woken up yet."
Gu Suixing hummed in agreement.
Seeing his expression, Huo Huai'an knew that he wasn't planning to talk about it for the time being.
That's really strange.
This ancestor has been good at everything since childhood, and she's number one at being affectionate. Knowing her as he does, he should be taking this opportunity to call someone over to serve him and enjoy his wife's tenderness and care. Why is she suddenly planning to keep it a secret?
Huo Huai'an couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
I'm too lazy to get involved in this young couple's affairs.
After Huo Huai'an left, Gu Suixing leaned back on the hospital bed and fell into deep thought.
If Lu Nian really is Uncle Xie's daughter, then Uncle Xie is her father-in-law...
Gu Suixing recalled what she had said to Xie Chaoyin—
"It's a pity I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would definitely invite you to be my son-in-law."
"It's no use having one. I already have someone I like."
Gu Suixing: "..."
“Abandon your father and become my son, and go to you.”
"No. Don't love me, it's pointless."
Gu Suixing: "…………"
A few days ago, Lu Nian went to a banquet and received a call from Uncle Xie. What did he say at the time?
"I know I'm charming, but we're destined to have no future together, not in this life, not in the next. So don't think about these things."
He even shamelessly made an outrageous demand: "When I get married, I'll send you a wedding invitation. You don't need to give me any money as a wedding gift; just send me a cruise ship."
Gu Suixing closed her eyes, feeling a bit too embarrassed to look back.
If Lu Nian really is Uncle Xie's daughter, and if Uncle Xie knew that Lu Nian gave birth to his son at the age of nineteen...
Gu Suixing looked at his other leg, which was intact.
If he loses the cruise ship, he'll probably have to break his other leg.
After much thought, all he could do was pray that God would protect him. However, Huo Huai'an's wild guesses proved that Lu Nian was not Xie Sanshu's daughter at all.
Gu Suixing rubbed his temples wearily, took out his phone, made a call, and coldly told the person on the other end, "Get over here," before hanging up.
Half an hour later, Assistant Fang slunk into the ward.

Huo Huai Sui stayed overnight at Xinghe Hotel. She was too embarrassed to sleep in Lu Feng Qing's big bed, but she was comfortable sleeping in Rui Rui's children's bed.
In Huo Huai Sui's words, the room had just been renovated, and there might be residual formaldehyde or something in it, so she could go in and let Rui Rui breathe it in.
She had too many excuses to keep up with, so Lu Fengqing ignored her and let her be.
Putting aside the fact that the room was made of environmentally friendly materials, she hadn't picked up the items she ordered, and had them left elsewhere to air out for a while. The renovation workers had also tested the room before handing it over, and there was no evidence of residual formaldehyde.
Lu Fengqing had been tied up for a day and spent several hours at the police station. She was exhausted and went straight to sleep after taking a shower.
That night, Lu Fengqing had a long-awaited dream.
The dream remains bizarre and fantastical.
However, unlike the previous times, this time she dreamed of her mother.
She was less than three years old when her mother passed away, and she couldn't remember many things anymore. But this time, in her dream, those old memories suddenly became clear.
In the dream, her mother was lying in bed with a high fever. All the adults had gone out, and she was the only one by the bedside.
The mother, lost in a dream, kept muttering, "I didn't... I don't know... I really don't know... Niannian isn't an illegitimate child..."
