Chapter 631 Do you believe it?
With parents who were a generation older than their peers, Lu Zheyan was more mature than his peers from a young age.
After entering university, in order to ease the burden on her parents, she took on many part-time jobs to earn her tuition and living expenses.
Tutoring that high school student that night was one of Lu Zheyan's part-time jobs.
He never imagined that once he left home, he would never have the chance to go back and see his elderly parents again.
After the incident, some media outlets and certain self-proclaimed "righteous people" who claimed to be acting on behalf of heaven after reading interviews with the two women flocked to the scene.
His poor parents not only had to endure the grief of losing their son twice, but also had to bear unwarranted infamy because of their unfilial son.
He was once considered the perfect child, but overnight he became a pariah, and his loved ones also suffered because of him.
This is what Lu Zheyan finds most unacceptable. He simply cannot understand why his act of kindness would bring such a devastating disaster to him and his family.
While Li Weiming and the others were busy discussing the veracity of the matter, Ye Wanxi and the other two immediately noticed the commotion on Lu Zheyan's side.
"That's just your one-sided statement."
Lu Zheyan was stunned, then smiled wryly and said, "Yes, but it's better than saying nothing."
Li Weiming and the others were slightly taken aback, and for some reason, they suddenly felt a bit stifled.
The saying that only the dead can keep secrets forever, often cited in TV dramas, feels strangely ironic when applied to this matter.
Yes, the dead can't speak. It's precisely because they can't speak that people can call white black and good things bad.
Because he couldn't speak up, he could only watch helplessly as the good deeds he had sown bore astonishingly bad results.
Do you believe what he says?
Ye Wanxi's words surprised Li Weiming and the others once again.
Many people's expressions shifted slightly, their hearts clearly wavering, yet at this moment they were too timid to utter a word.
Surprisingly, it was the boy who broke his promise first.
"I...I believe it."
In an instant, almost everyone's eyes were focused on him, and even Lu Zheyan couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
Cui Yingwen pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, saying, "At that time, he originally wanted to attack them, but I stopped him. I told him that to outsiders, he is me and I am him. If he makes a move, I definitely won't be able to get away unscathed. At that time..." He would definitely get into trouble.
Perhaps because they had briefly shared a body, Cui Yingwen was able to clearly sense the other person's emotions and know Lu Zheyan's resentment towards that woman.
But even under those circumstances, the other party stopped what they were doing just because of a few words he said.
A person who can remain rational even in anger, listen to advice, and consider others must be a kind and gentle person.
Therefore, Cui Yingwen was willing to believe him, to believe this poor man who was very likely to be wronged.
Ye Wanxi glanced at Lu Zheyan's transparent soul, which had become slightly more solidified because of Cui Yingwen's words, and suddenly understood why Cui Yingwen had allowed Lu Zheyan to possess his body, yet Lu Zheyan had not been tainted with too much yin energy.
She was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Do you regret it?"
Regret? Lu Zheyan was taken aback.
Probably.
But if you ask him if he would still choose to save people if he encountered a similar situation again.
Lu Zheyan thought he would still do it, but this time, he would choose a safer method, one that could save his life so that he could fulfill his filial duties to his parents and prove his innocence.
Ye Wanxi's words almost indirectly confirmed the truth of Lu Zheyan's words.
In an instant, everyone's expression changed.
They are still young people who have not yet officially entered society. No matter how precocious they are, there is still a relatively pure fire burning in their hearts.
At that moment, they completely suppressed their fear of Lu Zheyan and felt heartache, frustration, and righteous indignation at his plight.
"This is outrageous! I thought the 'helping the elderly' incident that was widely circulated years ago was just a classic case of the farmer and the snake, but I never imagined that reality could be even worse. Don't those two women have any shame? The man died because of them, and instead of being grateful, they smeared him after his death. How heartless! Don't they have nightmares at night?"
“If such a person were truly afraid, they wouldn’t have done such a thing.”
"Exactly, exactly. Maybe they're just trying to shirk responsibility because they're afraid of being blamed for someone dying because of them. To put it bluntly, they're selfish to the extreme. They don't care about the lives of others, and people like that are truly disgusting."
Li Weiming and others, as bystanders, were furious, let alone Lu Zheyan, the person directly involved.
Ye Wanxi turned and exchanged a glance with Feng Tianyu: "Now that things have been clarified and the contract between you has been reached, he will no longer bother you from now on."
Li Weiming and the others were dumbfounded. Only then did they remember the agreement they had made to send away the "male Ouija board spirit" they had summoned: they had to help him find his enemy and confirm his identity.
Now that he has regained his memories, let alone his enemies, he naturally doesn't need their help anymore.
However, when Ye Wanxi unexpectedly revealed this, instead of feeling relieved, everyone felt empty and uneasy.
As if to confirm that Ye Wanxi's words were true, Lu Zheyan's soul became transparent again and disappeared after a moment.
The group stared at the spot where he had disappeared, their expressions subtle: "He's gone?"
"They're gone."
"Won't they come back?"
"perhaps."
"What will happen to him after that?"
"Who knows? He might wander around, or he might go looking for revenge."
Lu Zheyan was trapped in that sea area for two reasons: firstly, because of the formation of the Wangchuan Community, and secondly, probably because he had lost his memory and did not know where to go.
Now, Xiao Baihui has sent people to handle the situation in Wangchuan Community, and it is estimated that the problem will be completely resolved soon.
Lu Zheyan's memory was unexpectedly restored due to this stimulation, and Ye Wanxi felt that the latter was more likely.
Li Weiming and the others exchanged glances, remained silent for a moment, and couldn't help but ask again, "What if he goes to seek revenge?"
“He died because of those two; the three of them are already entangled in karma. If he had only tormented them, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but if he were to be stained with blood…”
Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, and they asked nervously, "What will happen?"
