Chapter 104: When the persuasion is in progress

The original novel only briefly mentions what happened afterwards, where the flash flood occurred, what the car was like at the time, and how Xu Guanglin died.

But what is certain is that Xu Shuyan not only caused Xu Guanglin to suffer misfortune because of her stupidity and ambition, but also tried to deceive everyone and cover up her crime. Even

Xu Zichen and Han Lan were fooled by her.

But she didn't seem to feel guilty for blaming all the faults on her daughter.

Maybe she would even think with a clear conscience, I raised you to this age, so I should give you something in return!

Such a lie, by mistake, almost killed two young girls in their prime.

After saying this, Xu Zichen sat in a chair for a long time without any reaction.

Lu Siyin hesitated several times. As a reader, she felt very sorry for Xu Guanglin's death, not to mention his beloved daughter.

"Why should I believe you?" Xu Zichen couldn't accept that the aunt she had always tried to please was the one she should hate the most.

Lu Siyin opened her mouth but didn't say anything. She noticed that Pei Songxuan, who had been silent, had made a move.

"Let me show you something." Pei Songxuan nodded to the policeman waiting on the side.

Seeing Lu Siyin looking at him, Pei Songxuan paused and explained, "Your sister arranged it."

Lu Siyin had already expected what it was, and frowned slightly. He thought to himself that because of him, the plot was advanced again. The identities of Xu Guanglin and his grandparents were originally revealed in the second half of the book.

Two minutes later, the information was displayed on the large screen in front of the interrogation room.

The first thing he saw was an ID photo. The man had a handsome face, firm eyes, a neat short hair, and wore simple work clothes. His skin was a healthy wheat color.

Even though he had never seen Xu Guanglin before, Lu Siyin recognized him as his uncle at a glance. It was strange, just a feeling.

Turning his eyes to the career column, Xu Zichen widened his eyes in surprise.

Researchers at the National Key New Nuclear Weapons Research and Development Base.

"Your grandparents, Mr. Lu Shuyong, Ms. Lu Yun, Mr. Xu Wanjie, and Ms. Huang Yuan, were instructed by the state 40 or 50 years ago to secretly go to Puqi Mountain to develop new nuclear weapons. This was called the "111 Project." This project was very secretive, and only senior officials of the state knew about it. Since then, these four outstanding scientists have led several other people to carry out research that has lasted for decades."

"They settled in that poor mountain village, lived like other villagers during the day, and went to the underground base to work against the clock at night. Xu Guanglin is the son of Xu Wanjie and Ms. Huang Yuan. He has unexpected physical talent and computing ability since he was a child. After being carefully cultivated by Xu Wanjie and his wife, he followed his parents' wishes and voluntarily devoted himself to scientific research after growing up. He officially joined the "111 Project."

As Pei Songxuan interpreted the data on the screen, there was silence in the Wuling Hongguang parked at the door of the police station.

Zhou Zipei and Chu Mian watched the real-time playback on the computer. The words on the screen were clearly visible to them. The more they watched and listened, the more shocked they were.

Chu Mian looked to the side and saw Lu Jingshu leaning against the window, closing her eyes and resting. He didn't know if she was really asleep. The sunlight from outside shone in through the window. The girl was obviously closest to the car window, but her facial features were hidden in the darkness, as if she was deliberately avoiding the sunlight and warmth.

Chu Mian's eyes moved slightly. The girl was obviously still maintaining this posture, but in his eyes, she seemed to be curled up there.

He wanted to hug her...

In the end, he still restrained himself and only held Lu Jingshu's hand hanging beside her.

Lu Jingshu's eyelashes moved, and the next second, she opened a pair of eyes that were not sleepy at all, calm and indifferent.

She first glanced at the two people's intertwined hands, rubbed them, but didn't rub them open, and simply ignored it.

In the police station, as the data was displayed on the screen, Pei Songxuan's voice continued.

"However, God is jealous of talented people," he said with pity and regret, "Ten years ago, Mr. Xu Guanglin died in an accident, and when the rescuers arrived that day, they only saw Xu Shuyan and her brother, but not Lu Siyin, which means that Lu Siyin was not there that day."

Pei Songxuan was wearing a military uniform, a symbol of his identity, which increased the credibility of his words.

Xu Zichen caught a loophole, and she couldn't wait to question: "Since my father is a scientific researcher and his work is so secretive, why can you tell everything now?"

Pei Songxuan hesitated, not knowing how to start, and how to start talking about the tragic ending.

Lu Siyin was also a little confused. She knew the identities of her grandparents, but she knew very little about them. The book only mentioned them briefly, saying that they were scientists.

She had never even heard of the "111 Project."

Just as she was thinking about it, there was movement at the door and sparse footsteps.

"Because the "111 Project" completely failed four years ago. These are no longer important."

Lu Jingshu's cold voice rang out, answering Xu Zichen's question.

Chu Mian and Zhou Zipei did not come, and they were still sitting in the car waiting. Lu Siyin and Lu Jingshu did not want them to interfere in this matter. Lu Jingshu

's voice came from the computer, and it was extremely clear in the small and closed car.

The two looked at each other and thought of the conversation that night.

Four years ago...

There is no such part in the data. Could it be that it was also hidden?

In the police station, when Lu Siyin saw Lu Jingshu, he approached her and called out, "Sister."

Lu Jingshu looked at her, but did not respond. She nodded to Pei Songxuan and then looked at Xu Zichen, who was pale and haggard.

"You just need to know that you hate the wrong person. And the death of your uncle," Lu Jingshu's eyes darkened for a moment, and continued, "It was an accident."

Xu Zichen looked at the familiar face of the man on the screen, his eyes full of nostalgia, and did not respond to her words.

Lu Jingshu knew that she had heard it, so she stopped talking nonsense. She frowned for a long time, and her tone was filled with anger: "Didn't I tell you not to cause trouble again in the future?"

Lu Siyin blinked. It was the first time she saw her sister's emotions so exposed.

And the reason why she was so angry didn't seem to be because Xu Zichen didn't listen to her warning.

It was more like, no matter what Xu Zichen did, she had a compelling reason and couldn't do anything to her.

But this time Xu Zichen almost cost her life and completely violated her sister's bottom line. Because of this contradiction, she was so angry.

Lu Siyin lowered her head in thought, not knowing what she was thinking.

There was silence in the interrogation room for a while, and no one spoke.

The police who were holding Xu Zichen had already let her go, and left with Pei Songxuan at some point. Only

the three sisters were left in the room.

Lu Jingshu's expression was faintly impatient. Lu Siyin suddenly sighed, looking at Xu Zichen's beautiful face, and felt that it was time to apply the Virgin Mary's technique one: influence people's hearts, spread truth, goodness and beauty, and repay grievances with virtue.

"People, can't always live in the past," Lu Siyin began with a life philosophy, "We should focus on the future and the beauty of the present," and pointed out a point, "Look at you, you are so beautiful, just like a fairy from heaven, like the work of Nuwa, smart, capable, excellent, just like the Sailor Moon, how many people can compare with such an excellent person?"

The various flattery continued, which must have moved her badly.

"At least during this period of time, you have seen the true face of Xu Shuyan, she is not worth your efforts,"

"Actually, without standing in your perspective, I have no right to ask you to let go of the resentment. I think it should at least not occupy your reason and everything." Lu Siyin put away his joking look and advised seriously.

"All those who indirectly or directly killed my uncle will definitely not have a good end." She said.

Word after word fell like raindrops, Xu Zichen stared blankly at Lu Siyin's smiling face.

"You've been here for so long, didn't the Chen family find out? But until now, you've seen no one come to see you, not even Qin Ming, who keeps saying he loves you."

"From the beginning to the end, no matter who I was before or who you are now, you're just a pawn in their interest."

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others, be nice to yourself, and love yourself more." Lu Siyin continued to persuade, every word was from the heart.

If she continued, she would be moved to tears.

Looking at Xu Zichen's gradually moved eyes, Lu Siyin continued to radiate charm.

"I will let you go, and this incident will be as if it never happened. With your grades, even if you can't go to Kyoto University, Yenching University might be fine. You might as well look forward and see if you find that the road ahead is bright and broad."

This is what Xu Guanglin's daughter should have been like!
