That girl was the only touch of color in his life for more than twenty years. She was so lively and full of vitality. In front of her, he could concentrate on being Zhou Yan, the real Zhou Yan, not the Zhou Yan who just wore a mask all year round.
He didn't want her to die. He had advised her privately that since the higher-ups wanted to close the case quickly, it proved that there were people behind it. Those people were very powerful. Once they targeted her, there would be no chance of survival. It would be better to avoid provoking them if possible.
But she just said lightly, "This is my accusation," and retorted all her words.
Back then, the old man had told him to get rid of her within three days, or he would do it himself. He thought that she didn't have to die, as long as she had an accident and stayed away from the path of forensic medicine from then on, she would be safe. Hoping for luck, he broke her brakes, but he didn't expect that things would be far beyond his control.
The car with broken brakes not only had an accident, but also exploded.
She and her car were burned to death in front of his eyes.
The raging flames seemed to be impossible to extinguish, burning more and more vigorously, as if they would burn everything to ashes.
During the time when she died, he didn't dare to close his eyes at all. As soon as he closed his eyes, he would see a raging fire. He struggled in the fire, and she watched him indifferently from outside.
This situation was alleviated after he met Chu Lanxi. She was the person who understood him best besides Bai You. He had already lost one and didn't want to lose him again, let alone because of the same person.
He couldn't protect her three years ago, but that doesn't mean he would let him do whatever he wanted three years later.
The curve of Zhou Yan's mouth was even more dazzling and proud than his.
He looked at the old man who thought he had found his weakness with a mocking look, and chuckled, "Grandpa, since you know that she is a female student from A University, how come you don't know her true identity?"
The old man looked at Zhou Yan and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He frowned, looked at him and asked: "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Of course, it means that the female college student is the wife of the president of the Lu Group. Who can be called the president of the Lu Group? Guess who it is?"
Zhou Yan looked at the old man, who was stunned and at a loss for words because of his words, and laughed for the first time. His laugh was obvious and crisp. "Grandpa, you spared no expense, even to the point of doing inhumane things, for the Zhou family, this bottomless pit, this shaky and dangerous building. But after so many years, the Zhou family is still a mess. The Lu Group, how unattainable it is."
"You don't even have the qualifications to cooperate with them, yet you still want to harm the Lu family. Grandpa, just guess what. If you touch her, Lu Yunxiao will kill you miserably. Your beloved grandson, the Zhou family you've spent your whole life working for, the shaky and empty Zhou Group, all of this, guess how long it can last?"
The old man clenched his fists tightly, looking at Zhou Yan with unspeakable coldness and anger in his eyes. He always knew that this man was not a fool who could be easily manipulated, but for so many years, he had been living under his surveillance. He thought that he had no chance to cause trouble, but unexpectedly, he really underestimated him!
