It was also at this moment that he realized that after saying all this, he felt indescribably happy.
The secret that has been hidden for more than forty years finally no longer needs to be hidden!
Lucas raised the knife and placed the tip against Zhan Jun's heart.
If the knife moves one more step forward, it can stab directly into the opponent's heart.
But Lucas's hands couldn't help but tremble.
Suddenly, many images appeared in my mind as if rewinding.
Many of them were the time he spent with Zhan Jun.
At that time, they liked to stick together no matter what they did.
Although they are not blood brothers, their relationship is better than that of blood brothers!
Especially during the time when his mother passed away, it was Zhan Jun who stayed by his side and accompanied him out of that darkness and despair.
They are brothers!
But soon, Li Xinyu's every frown and smile appeared in his mind again.
"Lucas, I really like you. I'm very happy to be with you."
"Lucas, I want to marry you and be your bride, okay?"
These scenes flashed by, and the last one was the scene of Li Xinyu lying in a pool of blood.
That was a living life, and it died at the hands of Zhan Jun. How innocent was it?
If he hadn't broken into Li Xinyu's world, how could Li Xinyu have died in vain?
No matter how wrong she was, Li Xinyu didn't deserve to die!!
Thinking of this, a terrible blood-red flashed in Lucas's eyes, and the hand holding the knife took a step forward.
Zhan Jun could feel the tip of the knife cutting through his clothes, and he could even feel the taste of approaching death.
But he was not panicked or afraid at all. He still sat in the chair with his eyes closed, not moving.
Honey, can I finally come and accompany you?
Seeing Zhan Jun so calm, Lucas's hand holding the knife trembled even more violently.
He thought about stabbing the knife into the other person's heart to end it all. In this way, the hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for forty years would be gone, and he could avenge Li Xinyu!
But he found that he couldn't do it!
He simply couldn't bring himself to attack his own brother!
Finally, Lucas let go of the knife, and it fell to the ground with a clang.
He suppressed his trembling and said calmly, "Zhan Jun, you were able to kill Li Xinyu because you are a heartless person, but I can't do that! Go away, I never want to see you again!"
At this time, Mr. Zhan slowly opened his eyes: "Lucas, although we haven't seen each other for forty years, I know that you are still the Lucas I know, and you still cherish the brotherhood between us in your heart."
"Stop trying to get close to me!" But Lucas said mercilessly: "Zhanjun, from the moment you killed Li Xinyu, there is no brotherhood between us anymore. I let you go today, but it doesn't mean I forgive you..."
"Lucas, if I tell you that Li Xinyu stabbed the knife in her heart herself, would you believe it?" After taking a deep breath, Mr. Zhan finally decided to tell the truth of all these years.
Forty years have passed, and he has been taking the blame for forty years. It is time to tell the truth.
"Zhanjun, are you still trying to make excuses for your sins?" Lucas was furious. "How could Xinyu stab herself in the heart with a knife? Did she kill herself? How could there be such a stupid person in the world?"
Mr. Zhan remained calm and said, "Perhaps others wouldn't, but Li Xinyu chose to take risks to gain your trust! Lucas, I don't want to hurt your pride, so I never told you the truth. In fact, every time you brought Li Xinyu to see me, she seduced me while you were away and even drugged me."
At this point, he took a deep breath. "The last time you brought Li Xinyu to see me, you planned to sell the ancestral home to pay for Li Xinyu's mother's medical treatment. While you were out making a phone call, Li Xinyu seduced me again. I didn't want you to be deceived again, but she actually threatened me with a knife. If I dared to tell you the truth, she would stab herself and then blame everything on me."
"Of course I wouldn't allow this to happen, so I went to snatch the knife from her hand. Maybe Li Xinyu saw you coming in, and she suddenly stepped on me with her high heels. I wasn't paying attention, and she snatched the knife away. Then, I don't know how, it stabbed into Li Xinyu's heart. Lucas, I know you may not believe what I said, but I still want to tell you that every word I said is true. I didn't stab her with a knife at all. The only possibility is that she stabbed her herself..."
"That's enough—don't say anything!"
But at this moment, Lucas interrupted Zhan Jun excitedly: "Xinyu is not that kind of person, she is not!"
"She always has!"
Old Master Zhan refuted seriously, "When you first brought her to see me, she was already thinking of all sorts of ways to seduce me. Do you remember the night of your birthday forty years ago? That night you were completely drunk, and Li Xinyu drugged my wine. If it weren't for my strong willpower, and if my wife hadn't just happened to show up and save me, I can't imagine what the consequences would have been..."
"No! That's not it!"
Lucas' eyes instantly turned red, and he covered his chest uncomfortably: "Xinyu is so kind and well-behaved, how could she do such a thing? How could she do such a thing?"
"Lucas, from the moment she lied to you about the marriage, she has been plotting against you, but you have always been kept in the dark. Lucas, didn't you notice that something was wrong with Li Xinyu at the time? Do you want to continue deceiving yourself?!" Grandpa Zhan asked earnestly.
Lucas's eyes were slightly red.
He suddenly remembered.
When he was dating Li Xinyu before, he mentioned to Li Xinyu that he wanted to go back to see her mother who was sick in the hospital, but Li Xinyu refused for various reasons.
He remembered very clearly that one time, he had already arrived at the door of the hospital where Li Xinyu's mother was working with the nutritional supplements he had bought, but was pulled back by Li Xinyu who had rushed over after hearing the news.
At that time, she said that her mother didn't want her to find a boyfriend at this time, and said that she needed to do some ideological work on her mother first.
Now it seems that the reason why Li Xinyu tried so hard to stop him was because she had something to hide?
Now he thought about it carefully. Although the time he spent with Li Xinyu was sweet and happy, she did ask a lot from him.
It was only now that he realized that he knew nothing about Li Xinyu, and had no idea where her home was or who her friends were.
