By the time Liu Zhilin arrived at the scene, the matter was already over.
-
The pavilion in the lake where Gong Lin often stayed was now a river of blood.
Song Chenye stood in the center of the pavilion, looking down at the corpse in front of him.
In fact, Gong Lin died peacefully.
A single, fatal blow to the throat, without any unnecessary pain.
Unlike Gong Lin, who had treated his mother by dismembering her body and scattering her ashes, he simply looked down at his enemy with the air of an avenger, remaining silent and letting the wind in the pavilion gently brush against his cheek.
It was as if a restless soul was tenderly soothing his inner emotions.
After staring at the corpse for a long time, Song Chenye slowly sheathed the Xianyun Sword and then turned around.
Liu Zhilin stood in the middle of the bridge, looking at him with a complicated expression.
"you--"
When Liu Zhilin opened his mouth, he found his voice was unusually hoarse.
And all the questions they wanted to ask were stuck in their throats, leaving them speechless and suffocating.
What can he ask now?
What right does he have to ask that question?
Ask Song Chenye why she didn't tell him before taking revenge, or ask Song Chenye why she insisted on killing Gong Lin.
How did he manage to ask that question?
The most frustrating part of this whole affair is that Liu Zhilin was involved in the investigation from beginning to end, and clearly knew what Song Chenye was carrying and what Gong Lin had done.
Once the solid evidence was presented, the relationship between Song Chenye and Gong Lin became one of irreconcilable enmity.
What else can he do?
He advised Song Chenye to let Gong Lin off the hook for his sake.
Or should we persuade Gong Lin to kowtow and apologize to Song Chenye and Song Chenye's parents?
No, that's simply impossible.
Song Chenye will not let Gong Lin off the hook, just as Gong Lin will not apologize to Song Chenye's mother.
This was doomed from the start.
So what difference does it make whether Song Chenye tells him or not?
There's nothing he can do but remain silent, neither taking sides.
But looking at Song Chenye, who was spotless and without a trace of blood, and then at the familiar corpse lying in a pool of blood, its eyes wide open in death, Liu Zhilin felt a sudden and immense panic welling up inside him.
Even at that moment, he didn't know what he was afraid of.
Is it a friend who is gradually becoming unfamiliar in front of you, or a relative whose memory is gradually becoming distorted, or perhaps it is yourself who is powerless to change things?
So Liu Zhilin just stood there dumbfounded, staring at the young swordsman in front of him who dared to storm Qianye Manor alone to avenge his enemy, willing to pay any price to kill him. All he could say was a sigh.
"You can leave now."
