"Master, I know you're very angry, but I still want to tell you that I've already investigated the grudge between you and Grandpa Zhan forty years ago. This was all a misunderstanding, and Li Xinyu wasn't killed by Grandpa Zhan."
"Who else could it be if not him?"
Lucas recalled the scene from forty years ago, his eyes filled with pain: "I will never forget Xinyu's appearance before she died. She told me that she didn't want to die, she really didn't want to die..."
At this point, he took a deep breath and said, "All of this was ruined by Zhan Jun! It was all ruined by him! He killed Xinyu, and he ruined Xinyu's life!"
"Master, I know you won't listen no matter how I explain, so I specially found two witnesses." Ran Xia was not in a hurry to explain, and still maintained a smile.
"Ran Xia, you really put a lot of thought into clearing the name of the Zhan family!"
But Lucas said stubbornly: "But I don't want to know the truth. I only know that Xinyu died at the hands of Zhan Jun. This is an ironclad fact!"
He saw it with his own eyes, how could it be fake?!
"Master, I know you won't believe me no matter what I say, so I implore you to meet these two witnesses first, okay?"
Although Lucas had an unhappy expression, he didn't say anything this time.
Ran Xia knew that his master had agreed, so he said to Yi Tangchen, "Achen, go and bring the person in."
Yi Tangchen turned around and walked out of the ward without saying a word.
A few minutes later, he led Zhang Tao and Wang Deming in.
Lucas frowned slightly when he saw Zhang Tao. "I know you. Are you Manager Zhang from the former Shanghai Nightclub?"
The reason why he had an impression of Zhang Tao was that he had met Li Xinyu at the Shanghai Nightclub and had also had some interactions with Zhang Tao. In addition, Zhang Tao had a very recognizable birthmark on his face, so he had a very deep impression of Zhang Tao.
"Yes, Mr. Lucas." Zhang Tao nodded politely. "It's been forty years. I didn't expect to have the chance to see you again."
Lucas sighed slightly, "Yeah, forty years have passed, and things and people have changed a lot."
Then he looked at Wang Deming again: "Who is this?"
"Hello Mr. Lucas, I am Wang Deming, Ran Xia's homeroom teacher at Jiangcheng Middle School four years ago. Nice to meet you." Wang Deming took the initiative to step forward and nodded.
"Xia Xia, why did you call your teacher here?" Lucas was a little puzzled.
"Master, I just found out a few days ago that Teacher Wang is actually Li Xinyu's son." Ran Xia answered truthfully.
"What did you say?!" Lucas was frightened by Ran Xia's words: "You said he is Xinyu's son? How is that possible?!"
When he and Li Xinyu were dating, they were both innocent and had never had any sex. However, Li Xinyu was killed by Zhan Jun.
How did this son come about?
"Mr. Lucas."
Wang Deming said apologetically, "I don't know why my mother hid the fact that she was married and had me from you. I'm here to formally apologize to you on my mother's behalf."
"That's impossible!"
Lucas suddenly became agitated. "Xinyu said she was single. She's not married, so how could she have a child? You must have teamed up to deceive me, right?"
Wang Deming just smiled politely, then took out an old photo from his bag and handed it over: "Mr. Lucas, this is a family photo my parents took of me when I was a child."
Ran Xia took the photo from Wang Deming and presented it directly to Lucas: "Master, please take a look at it yourself."
Lucas slowly raised his head, his eyes slowly falling on the unclear black and white photo in front of him.
In the photo, a young couple is standing in front of the camera holding a child about two years old. The couple has sweet smiles.
Lucas's body trembled slightly.
Because the young woman in the photo was indeed Li Xinyu whom he knew at the beginning.
Although the photo was not very clear, he recognized Li Xinyu at a glance.
This is the woman he has loved for more than forty years!
After a moment, he frowned and looked at Wang Deming.
The man who claimed to be Li Xinyu's son did look very similar to Li Xinyu back then, especially in his eyebrows and eyes.
Lucas felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Because he knew that the truth might really be like this, but he could not accept this fact.
The woman he had been thinking about for forty years was already married and had children?
No!
This is impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
This must be a trap!
After a moment, he said to himself, "Just based on a photo and your one-sided words, should I believe what you say?"
At this time, Zhang Tao, who had been silent just now, spoke up: "Mr. Lucas, I know you can't accept this fact, but it's all true. When Li Xinyu came to work in our nightclub, she was already married, and her child was two years old. Her husband often came to pick her up..."
"But when I was with her, she was single and there were no other men around her. Why did you team up to deceive me?" Lucas felt a little sour in his nose.
He doesn't believe it!
How could Xinyu, such a kind girl, possibly deceive him?
"Mr. Lucas, I don't know why after you rescued Miss Li Xinyu, her husband suddenly stopped coming to pick her up. But I'm willing to guarantee with my own integrity that I absolutely did not lie to you. Every word I said is the truth! If I did deceive you, I'm willing to face any consequences!"
At this point, Zhang Tao added seriously, "Mr. Lucas, actually, when I first learned that Li Xinyu was dating you, I was also a little shocked. I even thought about telling you the truth, but then I thought about it. This is your private matter, and there's no need for me to meddle in it."
"No! I don't believe it!"
But Lucas still disagreed: "Xinyu is dead, you can say whatever you want! Anyway, I won't believe you!"
Seeing that her master was still so stubborn, Ran Xia said helplessly, "Master, A Yao and I have already investigated Li Xinyu's hometown. Her mother had passed away before she met you, but she lied to you that her mother was seriously ill and urgently needed money for treatment. The reason she stayed with you was just to cheat you of your money and get your ancestral home..."
"Even if Xinyu wanted to cheat me out of my money and take my ancestral home, she doesn't deserve death. Why did Zhan Jun insist on killing Xinyu back then? Why?" Lucas glanced at them sharply, "Tell me why?"
