"You seem to have a chronic illness," Gu Liyan said as she walked up to Lu Rui and examined him.
"Yes... but don't worry, I'm tough, I can still help you." Lu Rui said with a smile, his pale face devoid of color.
"Has the cause of the old man's death been reconfirmed?" Gu Liyan asked.
Lu Rui took a deep breath. "There's no need to confirm! In fact, even if someone knows the truth after they're dead, it won't change anything..."
Gu Liyan nodded. "I understand. Could you tell me more about the Lu family, the Wang family, and the Li family? Also, I'd like to know why Li Fengxia seems so afraid of you?"
“Heh, because the Li family cares about their reputation, they dare not tell the truth. I dare to say it, but she is afraid I will tell it, so…” Lu Rui said with a wry smile.
"The truth?" Gu Liyan seemed to have grasped the key point.
“Yes, actually, the old man could eat and drink, walk and take care of himself three months ago, and didn’t need anyone to take care of him at all,” Lu Rui said.
"Then how come it turned out like this after three months?" Gu Liyan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Lu Rui frowned. "The old man was staying at my house at the time. Because I was seriously ill and couldn't work, I took care of him for a while. But because my father was away on a business trip and my mother was too busy with work, my headaches got worse and worse, so I had to send him back..."
"After my health gradually improved, my family's finances changed again, and the old man also cared about his relationship with the Wang family, so naturally we couldn't bring him over."
Lu Rui sighed, "But I never expected this! They go out drinking and eating meat every day, and then bring back leftovers for the old lady. One night, I ran into my fourth aunt who had just returned from square dancing... When I went to her house, I found that the old lady was so thin that she was skin and bones! She was also confused and didn't even remember me!"
Lu Rui clenched his fists and said bitterly, "If only I hadn't sent her back back then..."
The veins on Lu Rui's forehead bulged, and Gu Liyan hurriedly said, "That's just how fate is. This has nothing to do with you."
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Lu Rui finally loosened his fist and said helplessly, "Now that he's gone, it's no use regretting it..."
Lu Rui's eyes were slightly red, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
Gu Liyan fell into deep thought. "The source of the death energy is indeed in the old man, but logically the source of the life energy should also be there. Why can't I sense any clues?"
"Lord Mo Li, is there anything I can help you with?" Lu Rui asked.
Gu Liyan glanced at Lu Rui. Although she knew he had family matters to attend to, there were some things she wanted to clarify: "What's wrong with your eyes? Why can you draw soul pupils?"
Lu Rui smiled slightly, "If you want to know, sir, I will tell you everything after you complete this mission."
Gu Liyan frowned slightly, not expecting Lu Rui to be speaking in riddles.
"Don't worry, sir. I'll take care of my family matters and definitely help you with the mission." Lu Rui squinted at An Qianbai:
"I'll do you a small favor!"
