Chapter 828: Rain washes away the dirt, justice will eventually come

"You...your father never told you about his life story before?" Cheng Qingnian realized as soon as she asked, "He probably wouldn't tell you. He's never a person who likes trouble. And he wouldn't make things complicated and let you get involved with us."

Lu Yingxue felt very embarrassed and looked somewhat pitiful.

"No, I never said that. I always thought my mother was... I always envied other people for having mothers, but I only have a strict father. He... is very strict with people. Sometimes I feel a little breathless."

She smiled bitterly.

Cheng Qingnian felt some hatred in his heart, but also felt sorry for Lu Yingxue.

She just had to think of a baby growing up and being destroyed at the hands of a man like Lu Bannong.

Her heart was broken.

Cheng Han said calmly, "What is your purpose for coming here? Just tell me directly. It's useless to play the emotional card. Only she will fall for it. Qiao Xi and I know exactly what kind of person you are. Don't pretend to be a little white rabbit when your hands are stained with blood."

Cheng Qingnian: "Dad, don't talk like that. That was all Lu Bannong's fault. It has nothing to do with Yingxue."

"Shut up first, or I'll have the villa's bodyguard take you to your room."

Cheng Qingnian could only shut up. She didn't dare to offend Cheng Han.

Lu Yingxue looked at Cheng Han's iron-faced and selfless face, and she knew that she had to tell the truth today. Those emotional cards could not impress this wise old man who had almost died once.

"My father was arrested and the Lu family was torn apart. Many things about the Lu family will be exposed, and I may be implicated. I would like to ask you to let me go for the sake of our blood relationship."

Cheng Qingnian couldn't help but said, "That's for sure. After I gave birth to you..."

"Shut up! Get out!"

“Dad, I…”

This time, Cheng Han showed no mercy and asked the villa's bodyguards to take Cheng Qingnian away directly.

"dad!"

Cheng Qingnian never expected that after so many years, his father's temper would become so fierce.

After she was taken away.

The living room became much quieter, and Lu Yingxue also felt the pressure on her.

She said softly, "It was not my idea to hunt you down. My father did it because he was afraid that you would come back and threaten the Lu family's position. I didn't know about our relationship at that time, otherwise... I would have stopped it."

"Grandpa, I did a lot of things that were excessive. I beg you to have mercy on me. Don't pursue this any further. The collapse of the Lu family and my father's death have already achieved your goal."

Cheng Han looked at her disgusting face and said, "I didn't acknowledge you. Please don't call me like that. I'll feel disgusted. There is one thing I want to ask you clearly. You can't hide anything from me."

"You say."

"The fire at Haicheng Clinic, is it related to you? Did you instigate it?"

"I……"

"I want to hear the truth, your most genuine thoughts at the time."

Lu Yingxue bit her lip, swallowed her saliva and said, "Yes, I was very scared at that time. Qiao Xi was very famous in Haicheng, and I was afraid that she would threaten my position one day. My father taught me since I was a child that danger should be strangled in the cradle. I was just an obedient daughter."

"Well said! You and your daughter have no respect for life, yet it's ridiculous that you became doctors."

Cheng Han looked at her and said, "I can't forgive you on behalf of others and not pursue anything. But I will give you a way out. It depends on whether you can grasp it."

"What road?"

"Be a tainted witness and testify about all the evil things Lu Bannong has done over the years. The judge will give you a lighter sentence and reduce your sentence because of your meritorious service. You won't stay in there for long!"

Lu Yingxue was stunned, then laughed out loud: "After all the talk, you still want me to go to jail! Are you so cruel as to want your own granddaughter to go to jail? Now everyone knows that I am your Cheng Han's granddaughter. It won't be good for your reputation if I go to jail."

"Do you think I care so much about my reputation? I am different from you and your daughter. I only give you this one chance. If you don't cherish it, you can expect a more violent revenge from the Huo family."

This was his last effort to maintain that little blood relationship.

Lu Yingxue's body was icy cold.

She was in a daze, and all she could think of were the scenes of her being praised by everyone. She was a powerful figure in the imperial capital, and those young men were like bees surrounding her and paying attention to her.

But now...

She was about to be reduced to a prisoner.

Step by step, downhill.

She fell from the clouds into the mud.

Lu Yingxue covered her cheeks and screamed and cried.

The crying was mournful, yet there was a hint of mockery in it.

"Ah!" She broke down and cried bitterly.

Cheng Han watched her cry, unmoved.

This was all her own fault! If she hadn't intended to kill anyone, they might have let her go.

Lu Yingxue cried hoarsely for more than half an hour and finally stopped.

She looked at Cheng Han with bloodshot eyes and said, "Cheng Han, you are so cruel. No wonder you are alone. Even your only daughter betrayed you. I don't want to recognize you if you are so inhumane."

Cheng Han didn't say anything more, but said, "Have you thought about it?"

"I can be a witness, but you must fight for the lightest punishment for me."

"Can."

Cheng Han consulted a lawyer and learned that in this case, even if the sentence was reduced, Lu Yingxue would still be imprisoned for seven or eight years.

She probably doesn't know how hard life in prison is. She may not be able to endure it after being used to the pampered life.

In this life, if her thoughts are not corrected, she will be useless.

Lu Yingxue stood up, walked out of the villa with rain all over her body, and walked into the dark rainy night alone.

Cheng Han closed his eyes and walked slowly to the stairs. He looked at Cheng Qingnian, who was stuck there crying hoarsely, and warned her, "Don't do anything stupid! This is the best solution. If you want her to be sentenced to life imprisonment, then do it."

"Dad, she is my daughter, how can she go to jail! Even if she can go to the countryside with us, it will be fine. The three of us can live a good life in the future."

"With her personality, how can she stay within her limits? Do you want me to risk the entire village? How stupid!"

"dad!"

Cheng Qingnian threatened, "If she goes to jail, I will stay in the capital to work. I will visit her every month and will not go back to Haicheng with you."

She thought that this would be enough to threaten Cheng Han, but Cheng Han just smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you want."

Cheng Qingnian stood there in a daze.

Watching Cheng Han walk away.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops fell with a crackling sound.

It seemed to wash away all the filth and dirt in this imperial capital.

The rain continued until dawn. The next day, the sky seemed purified and the sunlight was warm and bright.
