Chapter 248 Son Pays for Father's Debts
Qingzhu remained unresponsive to everyone's gazes, her face still calm. Wu Shan sighed, "That's part of the reason..."
Lu Yi looked at him and said, "I don't quite understand why you sent your son there."
Wu Shan also gave a serious explanation for this question: "Qingzhu's mother died right after he was born, and he was in poor health. I simply couldn't have raised him."
Moreover, I was still being pursued by Yamamoto, and it would be even more dangerous to have the child with me, so I risked going to see my eldest daughter and entrusting the child to her.
Although she hates me, Qingzhu is our family's only son, and she would never hurt him no matter what. It would be much better for him with her than with me.
Over the years, I've occasionally gone there, but the people inside rarely come out. After several years of investigation, I discovered that everything inside has changed.
Initially, when I was in charge, the place was only used to entertain guests and gather intelligence. Once the children grew up, they would be set free.
But I never imagined that under my daughter's management, it would develop into an even worse trading place...
After you contacted me some time ago, I felt that the time was almost right, and you should be discovering this place soon.
But I was afraid Yamamoto would do something rash, so I decided to bring him out.
After hearing his explanation, Lu Yi sneered, "Have you really not seen Qingzhu all these years? But I have a feeling that you two must have met before."
Qingzhu finally spoke up, "We really haven't seen it before."
"Then why weren't you surprised at all when you saw him today?" Lu Yi asked, staring at his expression.
"Although I've never met him, I've heard my older sister talk about him and seen his photos," Qingzhu explained calmly.
Lu Yi narrowed his eyes. "I see. Then how do you explain all your unusual behavior today?"
The two brothers, Aoba and Aoki, were taken aback. Aoba's behavior today was very unusual.
Qingzhu chuckled, "I really never expected that Brother Qingye would have something that allows them to communicate with each other."
You heard everything today, didn't you? Since you've been exposed, I won't hide it anymore. Indeed, I know everything you did today.
Qingye was stunned. "Qingzhu, what do you mean by this...?"
Qingzhu smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, Brother Qingye. Actually, I knew about your plans from the first time you met that woman."
You were talking inside the house when I happened to come looking for you.
Although Aoki stopped me, you know his situation. Under my questioning, he told me everything.
After I heard that, I stayed outside with him and kept watch. When Wu Mei and the others came, I locked the door in time and then hid.
At that time, I was afraid that you would abandon me and leave, so I pretended not to know and planned this series of events on my own.
After that day, I started preparing to leave. When you weren't looking, I told Aoki about the secret passage in the storage room.
Then, when you were planning to steal the ledger, they drugged everyone in dinner and eventually followed you.
However, Wu Ju's situation was something I hadn't anticipated. If I had, I would have been much more cautious.
A chill ran through Aoba's heart, "You..."
Is this still the harmless younger brother he thought he had...?
