Lu Zhiyuan and I looked at each other, and Lu Zhiyuan obviously noticed that something was wrong with Cheng Yu.
But none of us exposed him. Lu Zhiyuan politely continued to explain, "This is because before my parents-in-law passed away, they told my wife that she was picked up by your sister Cheng Xi. If it weren't for your sister's kindness, my wife might have become an orphan living on the streets, and it's more likely that she wouldn't be alive today. So we came here specifically to pay our respects to her. Although she has passed away, we still want to sweep her grave and burn incense to express our gratitude."
I was staring at Cheng Yu's expression the whole time. He seemed very annoyed and didn't want to talk more about his sister.
He impatiently evaded us: "I don't know anything about the Lan family. If you really want to come and pay your respects, her tomb is over there in the West Hill. Go there on your own!"
Cheng Yu didn't even dare to look at us, and it seemed like he had something to hide.
I wanted to ask more, but Cheng Yu stood up and opened the door to the lounge to see us off: "You guys go now. I'm also very busy here and don't have time to entertain you."
Having said that, Lu Zhiyuan and I couldn't stay here any longer, so we just stood up, said "sorry to bother you", and left.
Sitting back in the car, I frowned and questioned Lu Zhiyuan, "Didn't you say too much to Cheng Yu? Why did you waste so much time talking to him?"
Lu Zhiyuan's eyes were deep as he explained slowly, "Didn't you notice that Cheng Yu's expression revealed a guilty conscience when Cheng Xi and the Lan family were mentioned?"
That’s true. I kept staring at Cheng Yu. His eyes were evasive and his words were hesitant, as if he knew something.
"He feels guilty, but he can't tell us what he's guilty about, and we can't be sure how much involvement he had in what happened back then. However—" Lu Zhiyuan deliberately kept the topic a secret, "After our meeting just now, he now understands our purpose. So, by tomorrow at the latest, we'll have answers to our doubts."
I was confused when I heard it and it took me a while to react. When I saw the determined smile on Lu Zhiyuan's lips, I suddenly understood what he meant.
He deliberately told Cheng Yu the purpose of our visit so that Cheng Yu would know that the fact that I was taken away by Cheng Xi that year had been exposed.
If Cheng Yu is also involved, then he will definitely contact the mastermind behind the scenes.
If it was really Cai Ya who planned everything back then, after Cheng Yu contacted her, Cai Ya would definitely take action to avoid being exposed.
only--
My heart suddenly tightened, and I asked anxiously, "If we do this, won't there be a risk of alerting the enemy? Besides, even if Cheng Yu contacts the mastermind behind this, we won't be able to catch him in the act!"
Cai Ya has always been cautious in her actions. Just recently, she tried every means to ask Lan Feng about what happened that year.
If Cai Ya knew that we had tracked down Cheng Yu, I'm afraid she would use some means to stop us from continuing the investigation.
Maybe when we get up tomorrow morning, Cheng Yu will have packed up and run away.
Lu Zhiyuan gave me a mysterious smile and said, "Don't worry, Cheng Yu won't get away. Even if he still refuses to say anything tomorrow, I still have a way to pry him open."
He spoke with great confidence, and now I have no better idea but to wait and see.
In order to wait for news, Lu Zhiyuan and I had to stay in Qinglin Town for one night so as not to miss the latest developments.
If you want to find out some things clearly, you can't be impatient.
