"Master, please calm down." Cici quickly comforted him, "The doctor said that you just had surgery a week ago, so you must not get angry."
"I know best what's going on with my body."
Lucas took a deep breath and said, "Xia Xia, even if Xinyu cheated on me, even if she got married, I was very happy and pure when I was with her. At least when she was in front of me, I was the only one in her eyes and heart. I believe she was sincere to me at that time. All my happiness and hope came from her. Just because she cheated on me, can Zhan Jun kill her?"
Zhang Tao was a little shocked.
He didn't expect that after learning the truth, Lucas would still favor Li Xinyu?
Are you even willing to find any excuse for Li Xinyu?
Is this what is called being crazy about love?
Wang Deming was also a little surprised.
He never dreamed that Mr. Lucas would be so infatuated with his mother?
If his mother had not married his father, had not given birth to him, had not tried to defraud Lucas of his money, and had only wanted to be with Lucas, would she have lived a happy life, right?
But there are no ifs in this world.
After all, my mother took the wrong path.
"Master."
Ran Xia knew that her master would not forgive Grandpa Zhan so easily, but she still wanted to do her best to persuade him: "When Li Xinyu was murdered, you misunderstood Grandpa Zhan. Grandpa Zhan never killed anyone. The reason he took the responsibility for killing Li Xinyu was because he didn't want you to live in pain..."
"That's enough—"
Lucas angrily interrupted the woman: "All of you go out, I want to be alone!"
Ran Xia didn't say anything more, but turned around and said to Zhang Tao and Wang Deming very politely: "Grandpa Zhang, Teacher Wang, thank you for coming here today, you can go back first."
Then she said to Yalan, Cici and Yi Tangchen, "Let's go out first."
Ya Lan was a little worried: "Xia Xia, we really have to..."
Ran Xia nodded seriously: "Let Master be quiet for a while."
Just like that, Ran Xia took a few people out of the ward, leaving Lucas alone.
After the ward door was closed, Lucas' eyes finally turned red.
With trembling hands, he took out a black and white photo from the inside pocket of his shirt. It was a photo of him and Zhan Jun when they first joined the army.
In my mind, I unconsciously recalled the scene of that year:
"Lucas, from now on we will be the best of brothers. We must share the good and the bad!" Zhan Jun held his hand and said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
He immediately smiled and put his arm around Zhan Jun's shoulders, saying passionately, "Zhan Jun, from now on you will be my Lucas's best brother and best family member. We will never betray or deceive each other!"
Zhan Jun nodded: "Never betray, never deceive!"
In the blink of an eye, forty years have passed.
The brotherhood between them was eventually distorted because of a woman.
For this, he hated Zhan Jun for forty years!
Over the past forty years, he often dreamed of Li Xinyu's painful face before her death: "Lucas, you...you must avenge me."
…
In the corridor outside the ward.
When Ran Xia came out of the ward, she saw Zhan Beiyao supporting Old Man Zhan and walking towards the ward not far away.
Maybe it’s because of his old age, but Mr. Zhan walks a little unsteadily.
Ran Xia immediately stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, you're here."
Zhan Beiyao looked at Ran Xia tenderly: "Grandpa heard that your master woke up, so he asked me to send him over."
But Ran Xia showed a worried expression: "I have asked Zhang Tao and Teacher Wang to explain the situation to Master, but Master seems to be deeply in love with Li Xinyu, so..."
But at this moment, Master Zhan interrupted her amiably: "Xia Xia, from the moment I agreed to come to see your master, I have been mentally prepared to resolve the grudge between us. Don't worry, leave everything to me."
After saying this, he said to Zhan Beiyao: "Ayao, help me over."
Zhan Beiyao nodded respectfully: "Yes!"
Ran Xia watched Zhan Beiyao supporting Old Man Zhan as they walked step by step towards his master's ward, and her worries deepened.
Can Master and Grandpa Zhan resolve the grudge from forty years ago?
Could this meeting be a mistake?
Yi Tangchen, who had remained silent, came over and gently patted Ran Xia's shoulder: "Xia Xia, don't worry too much. Master and Grandpa Zhan were best brothers when they were young. I believe they will never fight each other!"
At the same time, Zhan Beiyao also returned to Ran Xia. He hugged the woman into his arms and said in his very sexy voice: "Little girl, don't worry, Grandpa is very sensible. He knows how to untie the knot in your master's heart."
…
In the ward.
When Lucas saw Mr. Zhan pushing the door open, he quickly stuffed the black and white photo under his pillow, looking like a guilty thief.
But soon, he showed an angry expression again: "Zhan Jun, who let you in? Get out of here right now!"
Old Master Zhan didn't leave. Instead, he hobbled over to the chair in front of the bed and sat down. "Lucas, you've hated me for forty years. During these forty years, you've always been against me. You want to kill me and my entire family to avenge Li Xinyu, right?"
“That’s right!”
Lucas' pupils suddenly turned scarlet: "The meaning of my life in this world is to avenge Li Xinyu!"
Old Master Zhan slowly pulled out a small knife from his pocket and handed it over: "Lucas, if you insist on avenging Li Xinyu, then you can stab me to death with this knife, and I will absolutely not have any complaints! !"
Lucas snatched the knife from Mr. Zhan's hand, pointed the tip of the knife at Mr. Zhan's heart, and said with a trembling body: "Zhan Jun, even if Xinyu is wrong, she doesn't deserve to die! Even if she cheated me of my money, I did it willingly. Why did you kill her?"
Mr. Zhan calmly closed his eyes and said, "For the past forty years, I have often been trapped in these memories. I think this is very painful for both of us. Why not end it today?"
"Do you think I really don't dare?" Lucas's face turned pale in an instant: "Do you think I will still care about our brotherhood?"
"Lucas, go ahead and do it. I just hope that after you avenge Li Xinyu, you won't hurt my family. They are all innocent." Zhan Jun's expression was calm, as if he was ready to die.
