Chapter 593: Covering up the Lie
A drop of cold sweat instantly flowed down Luo Yan's forehead. He didn't expect Yun Shuhuai to investigate him.
He didn't tell Xi Qing before because he was afraid that she would pursue the matter and bring trouble to him. Unexpectedly, Yun Shuhuai told him.
Did she do it on purpose?
Luo Yan glanced at Yun Shuhuai who was drinking tea, and couldn't see anything from her face.
However, it is better to be careful and cautious when dealing with such a person.
Under Xi Qing's constant questioning, Luo Yan changed his look of loss and blamed himself: "I'm sorry, Ah Qing, I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would be too sad."
"So, who is she?" Xi Qing asked, trembling and grabbing his arm.
"...It's Yuan Qiu."
"What?" Xi Qing said in disbelief.
Luo Yan wiped his tears and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of her. At that time, only the two of us were lucky enough to survive. But Yuan Qiu is sick, and I need medicine to treat her, but the medicine is too expensive and requires a lot of crystal cores. But I can't go out and leave her for too long. She can't be left alone to take care of her, but if I don't go out, I can't buy medicine. I'm really in a dilemma..."
Luo Yan said, holding his head in his hands and crying bitterly, feeling guilty.
"At first, I wanted to join Shuguang, but I had to start from the grassroots level, which required long hours of outings, and I couldn't get many crystal cores. They wouldn't help me take care of Yuan Qiu for nothing. Later, Brother Wang couldn't stand it anymore, and offered me an olive branch. They expressed their willingness to help take care of Yuan Qiu, so I had time to go out."
"During that time, I desperately went out to collect crystal cores just to buy medicine for Yuan Qiu, but Yuan Qiu... still didn't hold on... If I had worked harder, Yuan Qiu wouldn't have suffered..."
After listening to Luo Yan's words, Xi Qing had already burst into tears.
Although she had adjusted her mentality yesterday, she couldn't help crying when she heard about the tragic experience of someone close to her.
Her little sister, her favorite little sister, had obviously escaped the zombies and finally escaped to the base, but she couldn't hold on and died in this safest place.
Yun Shuhuai went over to hug Xi Qing and comforted her gently. She looked at the man crying sadly opposite her, and couldn't help but curse in her heart that the cat was crying over the rat.
This man is really capable, he can turn black into white.
It is obvious that He Yuanqiu fell ill because she was often abused by him, and then he sent her to Fengshen and let those people play with her to death. He can even keep saying that he joined Fengshen to save her. This ability to confuse right and wrong is really amazing.
Not only did she not blush or feel nervous, but she was also able to cry so sadly. She is indeed an opera singer. Her professional acting skills are really good. Not only did she deceive Xi Qing, but she also gained a lot of goodwill for herself.
But did he think that was the end of it?
Anyway, Yun Shuhuai already had the most crucial evidence. He could act as he wanted and see what he could come up with.
Since Luo Yan dared to lie, there would be a flaw. One lie had to be covered up by another lie.
If you talk too much, there will always be mistakes. Yun Shuhuai wanted to see how he would explain it to Xi Qing.
Xi Qing lay on Yun Shuhuai’s body and cried for a while, saying intermittently: "...Senior Brother, this is not your fault, don’t blame yourself too much. I think Senior Sister’s spirit in heaven will definitely not blame you."
Luo Yan wiped his tears and said: "But this is ultimately because I am too useless. If I could become stronger, I would be valued by Shuguang and get the medicine earlier. Although I received help from Brother Wang later, it is too late after all."
"Senior Brother, this is not your fault, you know? Senior Sister once secretly told me that she likes you, and you have done so much for her, so she will definitely not blame you."
Hearing this, Luo Yan showed a surprised expression, he was a little unbelievable and said: "You said...she likes me? How could..."
"Of course not! Junior Sister knows that you have been supporting the entire troupe since your master passed away and have not had time to get married. She doesn't want you to be too tired, so she is always diligent in doing many things, just to make you accept her. I think it must be hard for Junior Sister to see you suffer so much to save her."
After saying that, Luo Yan covered his mouth sadly to prevent himself from crying.
Yun Shuhuai watched the show silently on the side. It was impossible not to be convinced by such a strong acting skill. If she hadn't seen the evidence before, she would really be fooled by his appearance.
It can be said that this is the difficult part of Luo Yan.
It took Yun Shuhuai a long time to figure out the clues. If she hadn't been in space to cover herself, few people would have been able to sneak into their heavily guarded villa and find out the truth.
The two brothers and sisters comforted each other and gradually calmed down.
Xi Qing sobbed and asked, "Brother, where is the little sister buried? I want to go see her."
Luo Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and said, "I'm sorry, the land in the base is very expensive, there is no place to bury people, and everyone was starving at the time, and some people would eat people to survive. I was afraid that Yuan Qiu's body would be desecrated, so I burned her."
"What about the ashes? You still keep them."
"Ah... yes, I still keep her ashes in the villa." Luo Yan's words began to become a little unnatural.
Xi Qing then asked, "Can I go to pay my respects?"
"... Yes, but it's a little inappropriate to pay my respects in Fengshen. Many members have just joined not long ago, so..."
"Then come here." Xi Qing said.
"Shuhuai, can I bury my little sister's ashes near here? I want her to rest in peace." Xi Qing turned her head and looked at Yun Shuhuai for help.
"Of course I can." Yun Shuhuai nodded, "The yard is so big, you can find a suitable place."
