Chapter 424: Everyone Has Selfish Motives
But after thinking for a long time, Lu Zhiheng's thoughts were still in a mess.
Lu Zhiheng felt a dull pain in his head.
"What on earth is there in the capital that makes these people so wary?"
Or in other words, is the culprit who did the evil really a human being?
Lu Zhiheng couldn't explain it clearly.
He just felt that he was in a mess and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Lu Zhiheng let out a long breath.
He slowly looked at Su Tan, "What do you think?"
Su Tan frowned tightly.
Her eyes fell on Lu Zhiheng.
Suddenly he frowned, his thoughts drifted away, and he said something that was unexpected but reasonable.
"Maybe... maybe it's not something in the capital that makes those people or those monsters afraid."
"Perhaps the culprit is in the capital!"
"The reason why he didn't take action in the capital was simply because he didn't want to cause a huge panic and didn't want these things to affect other people's impression of him."
"Perhaps this evildoer is highly respected, even—"
Su Tan lowered his brows.
"In fact, everyone has endless good things to say about him!"
Otherwise, why are those persecuted children from all over the world, but not from the capital?
It is said that none of them came from the capital, but some of the remains of these children were thrown into the mass graves in the capital.
Not a corpse, to be exact.
It is the ashes of burning corpses.
Ashes.
Lu Zhiheng pondered for a moment, frowned tightly, and then quickly relaxed.
It’s not that he thinks Su Tan is wrong.
He was just lost in thought, and then asked a question that came from the bottom of his heart.
"I know you're right, but...are you sure there's such a person in our capital?"
Is there anyone in the capital who is so highly praised that everyone only praises him when he is mentioned?
Anyway, Lu Zhiheng had never seen such a person.
Su Tan was silent for a moment.
Not to mention that Lu Zhiheng had never seen it, she herself had never seen it either.
No one is perfect. In this world, even if there is someone who is so perfect that you cannot find even the slightest fault in him or her, there will always be people who find fault with him or her and sarcastically say that the other person is as perfect as a fake person.
As long as people are alive and can still breathe, they are likely to be criticized.
No matter what you do, people will talk about you.
Is there really anyone who can be respected and loved by everyone?
Sui Sui also sighed.
"I've never met such a person. Even someone as nice as Sister Fairy still gets scolded by many people."
Sui Sui is young, but she is not stupid. She has also heard how those people curse Su Tan behind his back.
They said that Su Tan was not like a woman and did not fulfill her duties as a woman. They also said that Su Tan was cruel and cold-hearted, and even gave up her own good child.
In short, all kinds of scoldings are endless.
Although Sui Sui might not be able to understand some of the words, she could still tell that the other party was scolding Su Tan.
You can also know that it is not a good thing.
But sometimes, the good things Su Tan did would be criticized by others, who would say that it was inappropriate for a woman to show up in public like that.
She had also heard people say that Su Tan was just seeking fame and reputation and wanted to sell himself for a good price.
Sui Sui doesn't understand why some people are so malicious towards Su Tan.
But she understood at a young age that when you hate someone, even their breathing is wrong, and no matter what they do, you can find countless thorns in them.
So when Su Tan talked about this, even Sui Sui couldn't think of a person who could be praised so much and not be hated.
"We have to investigate this matter slowly. We can't rush it."
Although Lu Zhiheng said this, the veins on his forehead bulged fiercely. He gritted his teeth and said, "But time waits for no one. The later we find out who is doing this evil, the more innocent children will suffer."
Su Tan, Lu Zhiheng and Sui Sui can afford to wait.
But those children couldn't wait and sighed.
"It would be great if there was some way to lure those bad guys out."
Sui Sui suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up. She grabbed Lu Zhiheng and Su Tan's hands and said, "Can you let me pretend to be the fairy sister's child, and then let my father marry the fairy sister's husband, so that we can lure out the culprit with this scheme?"
Sui Sui really couldn't think of a better way.
She could only continue to place all her hopes on these things.
The victimized folks shook their heads.
There was an old lady whose eyes turned red and she knelt down tremblingly in front of Sui Sui.
"Princess, we all appreciate your kindness. We all know that you want to seek justice for us. You have done enough. You cannot put yourself in danger like this again!"
"Yeah yeah!"
The rest of the villagers knelt down again.
They each wiped their tears, tears streaming down their faces, and said to Su Tan and his group, "At first, we suspected that there were demons at work, and we also suspected that it was those bandits who were taking advantage of the situation. They were really too arrogant."
"It's not like the government hasn't thought about using this method to lure out those people, or to lure out demons and monsters."
But what’s the use of thinking about it!
Not only did they fail to apprehend the real culprit!
And the child’s life was also lost!
Among these children who were crying at the top of their lungs and whose bodies were mutilated, several were the ones who had cooperated with the government in the play.
No matter what, they couldn't let Sui Sui lose his life again.
If it is true that in order to seek justice for them, another innocent child suffers, how will they face their conscience at that time?
How can I atone for my sins?
Sui Sui shook his head.
"I'm different!"
Su Su's tone was a little anxious, and his eyes were red. "I know the mysterious arts, and Fairy Sister also knows the mysterious arts. I will protect myself!"
She would never put herself in danger.
But Lu Zhiheng was the first to shake his head.
“No!”
Lu Zhiheng's body also trembled, and he held Suisui tightly.
"Sui Sui, you are my only child. I can't take any risks with you!"
There was a flash of pain and struggle in Lu Zhiheng's eyes, but he finally made a resolute decision to hold Sui Sui tightly and never let her take any risks.
He really wanted to seek justice for these people and really wanted to catch the person behind it.
But if all this means he has to sacrifice his own child's life, he will never agree!
Everyone has selfish desires.
Lu Zhiheng believes that he is definitely not that great. No matter how much he cares about the common people, he always puts the safety of his children first!
Sui Sui looked a little anxious, and she subconsciously looked at Su Tan.
But Su Tan, who had always doted on her and indulged her, shook his head firmly this time and stopped pampering her.
"Sui Sui, forget it. Neither your father nor I will let you put yourself in danger."
There is a remnant soul of Changle inside Suisui's body.
Su Tan's eyes were red.
She had finally found Changle's remaining soul, so how could she bear the pain of losing Changle again?
No, every year is every year.
Changle is Changle.
But even if there was not a trace of Changle's soul in Suisui's body, she would never allow such a thing to happen.
Up to now, the real person behind the scenes has not surfaced, but she has experienced how terrifying the other party is.
Even she couldn't figure out who the evildoer was, so how could she be sure that she could deal with him?
What if it's just a mistake?
Whether it's the person behind the scenes or a monster, if you lose this time, you'll just have to change your prey.
But if they lose, the consequences are something they cannot afford no matter what.
There was a hint of confusion in Sui Sui's eyes.
"Why……"
"No reason!" Lu Zhiheng and Su Tan spoke in unison.
No need to explain why.
In any case, they should not gamble a child on an uncertain future.
What's more, Suisui is only three years old now, and these responsibilities should not fall on Suisui.
Suisui still tried to struggle and wanted to have a good talk with them.
But Su Tan and Lu Zhiheng took her away without any explanation.
When the choice comes, both Lu Zhiheng and Su Tan, who is known as the world's number one mystic, will have their own selfish motives.
