Chapter 238 Mu Xingchun's True Identity
Lu Yi and the other two were in a state of unprecedented shock. Their faces were extremely ugly as they stared intently at the old man who was staggering toward them.
The old man, dressed in a tattered cotton coat and carrying a dirty bag, was slowly walking towards Lu Yi and the others.
As they approached Lu Yi and his companions, Lu Yi quietly emerged from behind the wall. Upon seeing Lu Yi, the newcomer's expression shifted slightly.
But he quickly calmed down, chuckled, and stepped forward. "Isn't this Xiao Lu? What are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Lu Yi stared intently at him and said in a deep voice, "We're waiting for someone..."
"Really? Who are you waiting for?"
"Grandpa Mu, don't you know perfectly well? Oh...right. Should I call you Wu Shan instead of Grandpa Mu?" Lu Yi said with a slight sneer.
Mu Xingchun, or rather Wu Shan, stiffened and then fell silent.
This reaction was within their expectations; they'll probably refute it again!
But to their surprise, Wu Shan didn't refute it; instead, he calmly accepted the situation, saying, "Oh dear... you guys found out so quickly..."
"Indeed, the younger generation is truly formidable..."
Lu Yi took a deep breath. "It really was you. Why... why did you lie to us?"
Wu Shan shrugged helplessly, "I didn't mean to lie to you at first! You guys came to me yourselves, and I was quite surprised!"
Sigh! I spent so much effort thinking of what to say to you guys back then! Seeing your reactions, I thought I'd escaped a disaster!
I didn't expect I still couldn't escape it...
A hint of anger flashed across Yan Wu's face. "You really are..."
Wu Shan interrupted them, "Alright, young people, this isn't a good place to talk. If we get caught, it won't be a fun thing."
"At that time, not only will I be in trouble, but you won't be able to get away with it either..."
Lu Yi had been observing his expression the whole time. Seeing him say this, he looked at Yan Wu and Su Ji and said, "That's right, let's leave here first. This is not the place to talk."
Wu Shan stood behind them, not intending to run, and simply waited until they finished speaking before being surrounded and driven away by the three young men...
Once they reached a safe place, Lu Yi and the others stopped and turned to look at Wu Shan. "Alright, let's stay here."
Wu Shan smiled, "Alright! But judging from your expressions, you must have a lot of questions for me, right? What do you all want to ask?"
Su Ji couldn't wait to question him: "We have so many questions! First of all, since you are Wu Shan, why have you hidden your identity and disguised yourself as Mu Xingchun for so many years?"
Wu Shan sat down on the ground, somewhat sullenly. "Oh dear, I'm tired. Hmm... that's a good question. Why should I hide my identity? Someone wants to arrest me!"
For the sake of freedom, I certainly couldn't be arrested! So I went into hiding and gave myself a false name, Mu Xingchun.
I'm not bragging, but this decision of mine was really smart, and because of it, I've been living a much more comfortable life these past few years.
Su Ji was somewhat annoyed. This person was clearly just giving him the runaround. Lu Yi stopped him and continued to ask, "His question wasn't clear enough. Let me ask it."
How did you meet Yamamoto? What you told us before, and how much of your grudges with Yamamoto were true and how much were false?
Or... is everything you told us wrong...?
