Chapter 123: The truth that comes late is nothing but bullshit.

Lu Sui looked suspicious, "Who?"

Before Liu Shuanzi could say anything, Lu Jun rushed out of the kitchen in a hurry, "Looking for me!"

Lu Sui thought he was his mahjong partner, so he followed him out with a sullen face. Outside the gate of the brick factory, a black car was parked. In front of the car door stood an elderly man wearing glasses, a gray ironed suit, carrying a briefcase, and looking solemn.

Not like Mahjong players at all.

Lu Jun shook hands with him warmly, and the man did not put on airs, but spoke to Lu Jun in a familiar manner. He also handed him a pack of cigarettes. They were a bit far away, so Lu Sui could not hear clearly what the two were talking about.

Lu Jun beckoned him to go inside, and when he saw Lu Sui, he took the initiative to introduce him, "This is my nephew." Lu Sui stretched out his hand, "Hello."

"Hello."

After shaking hands, the man looked Lu Sui up and down. He had a good appearance, was young, and had a sharp edge. He smiled gently and said, "He looks a lot like you!"

Lu Jun patted Lu Sui on the shoulder and said, "Of course, I am half his father after all! If not me, then who?!"

Then he turned to Lu Sui and said, "This is Lawyer Zhou Bing, a very famous lawyer! I have something to discuss with him. Go make two pots of Maojian tea."

Lu Sui lowered his voice, "I thought he was your mahjong partner..."

The army officer looked unhappy and cursed in a low voice: "You idiot, stay out of my business and go make some tea!"

Lu Sui went to make tea at a leisurely pace, and the two of them closed the door as soon as they entered the office. Lu Sui made the tea, brought it to the door and knocked. Lu Jun opened the door, took the Maojian tea from him, and closed the door again.

Lu Sui's brows were gloomy. How did the army know this lawyer Zhou? What did they say in the interview?

Returning to the living room absent-mindedly, Liang Jingxuan sat up and said weakly, "Honey, I want to drink some water." Lu Sui was thinking about the Army. Liang Jingxuan licked his cracked lips and called out twice.

Lu Sui is still like the calm surface of the water; even if a stone is thrown into it, there will not be any ripples.

Liang Jingxuan pouted, pressed on him and bit his lips. It was not a kiss, but more like eating his lips. Lu Sui frowned and came back to his senses. He held his fat waist with his big hands. The sweat had not dried yet, and it was still a little sticky in his palm.

Liang Jingxuan pried his arms apart, sat back on the sofa, and wrapped himself in the bunny blanket. "Bad husband! I want to drink water. I've been calling you for a long time. If you do this again next time, I'll bite you..."

Lu Sui quickly covered his mouth and said, "I'm wrong. Don't bite me. I'll go get you some water now." Last time he annoyed Liang Jingxuan, he was busy at the brick factory and didn't have time to comfort her. When he went to bed at night, Liang Jingxuan pulled his pants...

It took three days of applying the medicine to get better...

Liang Jingxuan moved his hand away and snorted, "Bad husband!" She climbed to the other end of the sofa with her butt sticking up, picked up the remote control on the table, and said, "Turn on the TV! I want to watch TV! Watch roasted corn..."

"Okay!" Lu Sui held the empty cup and went back to turn on the TV.

"When the roasted corn comes on stage, the excitement will come naturally!" The volume of the TV was not loud, Liang Jingxuan was still running a fever, his mind was in a trance, and when he saw something funny, he didn't even have the strength to curl his lips. Lu Sui handed him the cup, "Be careful of the burns."

Liang Jingxuan pouted, "I don't want to drink hot..."

Lu Sui put it on the table and said, "Then wait until it's not too hot before drinking it."

Liang Jingxuan threw away the remote control and sat on his lap with the sofa propped up. "The sofa is wet. I don't want to sit on it anymore. I want you to hug me, my husband."

Lu Sui glanced at the sofa, which was soaked with sweat. He rubbed the small blanket, which was also wet. He tightened his arms and hugged him to his chest. He stood up and went to the room to get another blanket and wrapped it around Liang Jingxuan.

The pattern on the blanket is not a bunny, but a pink piglet. Liang Jingxuan poked it again and again with her slender fingers, "I like bunnies and piglets. But I only like small piglets, not big piglets. I can hold a small pig while sleeping, but I can't hold a big pig."

Lu Sui thought of Song Huizi telling him that Lu Jun got drunk and threw him into the pigsty. He frowned and asked, "You did that?"

Liang Jingxuan nodded, bent his fingers, and said softly, "Yes! My grandmother bought me two pink pigs for my ninth birthday. I even named them, one is called Da Da and the other is called Xiao Xiao!"

Lu Sui thought of Liang Jingxuan kissing two pigs, and his face became more and more gloomy. "Have you kissed them?"

Liang Jingxuan's head shook like a rattle, "I wanted to kiss her, but grandma wouldn't let me!"

Just as Lu Sui's frown was about to relax, Liang Jingxuan said, "They only let me sleep with them! I held one on each side, but when I woke up the next day, they were gone. Grandma took them away in the middle of the night. Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Sui, "..."

She pursed her lips and said fiercely: "From now on, you can only sleep with me, no matter if it's a bunny or a piglet, you can only sleep with me! Also, if you dare to sleep with someone else or bring anything else to bed, I will fucking kill you!"

Liang Jingxuan uttered an "ah" and said cautiously, "Can you wait until I'm better before you do it? I took a nap today and carried Tutu to bed..."

Lu Sui, "..."

She stared at him coldly, "Not next time!"

Liang Jingxuan sobbed, "Okay..."

Lu Sui picked him up with one arm, pulled off the sofa cushion and threw it into the washing machine. Lin Lie's eyes always unconsciously looked towards the office. More than an hour had passed, and Lu Jun hadn't come out yet. In Lu Sui's impression, Lu Jun seemed to have no friends except his mahjong friend Mu Daming and Uncle Zhang next door.

Liang Jingxuan tilted his head, "Husband, don't you know Uncle Zhou?"

Lu Sui's expression was cold, "Do you know him?"

Liang Jingxuan nodded heavily, "Yes, Uncle Zhou used to come to our house often, and I loved it! Every time he came, Uncle gave me five yuan and let Erhu and I go to the canteen to buy spicy noodles!"

Lu Sui closed the lid of the washing machine with a gloomy look in her eyes. Do you come here often?

"Do you know what he says to Uncle Er every time he comes?"

Liang Jingxuan nodded lightly, then shook his head, "I only heard it once. The canteen was closed that time, and Erhu and I came back early. I heard them talking about Dad."

Lu Sui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that Liang Jingxuan was talking about his dad. "What dad?"

"The big blue dog at Erhu's house kept barking. I couldn't hear it clearly. It said Dad's name and also mentioned the Yu family." Liang Jingxuan hugged his neck, "It also mentioned you. Second Uncle said that you must not know."

Liang Jingxuan's words were like a sudden storm, instantly destroying Lu Sui's calmness and composure. After the storm passed, the rumbling sound in his ears gradually died down, and everything slowly returned to dead silence.

What shouldn't he know?

It was the cause of his father's death, but he knows it now.

Then what else does he want to say to Lawyer Zhou?

What else is he hiding?

Why keep it a secret from him?!

Could it be the Liu family?! Thinking of the series of things that happened to the Liu family recently, some died, some went crazy. Liu Li was sentenced to death, and Liu Guoqing is still in a coma in the hospital.

Was it the Army that did this?

Thinking about those exposed spots, all the color disappeared from Lu Sui's face, leaving only a pale face.

It was him...

As the sky was about to turn dark, Lu Jun and Zhou Bing came out of the office. Lu Sui narrowed his hawk-like eyes and Lu Jun smiled, but his smile was stiff. It was completely different from when he entered the office.

Zhou Bing's briefcase seemed much lighter, and Lu Jun asked Zhou Bing to stay for dinner. Zhou Bing refused, saying that he had to go back to the law firm. Lu Jun no longer insisted on sending him to the brick factory gate.

He watched him get on the bus, and then walked back after the bus drove away. He walked very slowly and heavily, a shadow fell on him, and he looked up suddenly, and saw Lu Sui standing at the entrance, waiting for him with his arms folded.

Lu Sui lowered his arms, "I have something to ask you."

The army officer grabbed his coat in anger and said, "Get lost! You're standing here in broad daylight acting as a door god. You scared me. I'll chop off your head..."

Lu Sui blocked his way, "I really have something important to do..."

Lu Jun opened his mouth and said, "What the hell are you asking? I'm upset and I'm going to sleep. If you really have nothing to do, go to the kitchen and help your aunt!"

The soldier walked very fast, entered the room in a flash, and slammed the door. With a click, it was locked.

Lu Sui clenched his fists and punched the sofa twice in frustration and anger. Liang Jingxuan coughed twice, "Husband, Second Uncle is unhappy now, please wait a while before asking."

Lu Sui also realized it, and he just wanted to force him to tell the truth. But he was too reckless, or maybe he was simply no match for Lu Jun, and he seemed to always be at a disadvantage in front of him.

After dinner was ready, Lu Jun was still sleeping. Lu Sui called him, but he pretended to be deaf. Liang Jingxuan called him. He said in a hoarse voice that he wanted to sleep for a while and let them eat first.

Song Huizi said nothing and left some food for him.

In the dead of night, the strong wind was knocking against the window outside, and on the bright red quilt inside was a boiling passion that could not be seen in the light.

Liang Jingxuan drowsily held Lu Sui's arm, the corners of his eyes reddened, his fever had subsided after dinner. Lu Sui looked at the red mole on the tip of his nose, licked it with the tip of his tongue, and pressed his thin lips against it for a lingering kiss.

He found a clean pink quilt from the closet, wrapped Liang Jingxuan in it, and carried him to the end of the bed. He quickly changed the bedsheets and quilt covers, and carried him back. Liang Jingxuan grabbed his vest and said, "Honey, I want to drink some water."

"Okay." Lu Sui tucked in the quilt and quickly left the room.

As soon as he went out, he smelled a pungent smell. The door to the entrance was half-closed. Lu Sui covered his mouth and nose and walked out. Under the rippling moonlight, Lu Jun held a cigarette in his mouth and squatted on the ground holding a large stack of papers, burning them one by one.

Lu Sui had only taken two steps when Lu Jun found him and asked, "Why are you still awake?"

"Xuanbao is thirsty. What about you? Why haven't you slept? What are you thirsty for?" Lu Sui asked back coldly and solemnly.

The soldier held the cigarette and took two deep puffs. "Don't you have eyes? Can't you see for yourself?"

Lu Sui was choked and speechless, "..."

He squatted down and picked up the unburned papers, which were his father's inspection report for the government building.

"Why is it burning?"

The army said without even looking up, "The government buildings have been demolished, and the people involved have either died or fled. They are now just a pile of waste paper. Why keep them if not burn them? Are you going to use them as pillows when you sleep?"

Lu Sui looked unhappy, but he endured it and tightened his jaw, "Did you do anything about the Liu family?"

The soldier's rough, bark-like hand froze in mid-air. The paper slowly fell from his hand into the brazier and was soon devoured by the flames, leaving only a pile of twisted remains.

The army withdrew his hand, sat up straight, and calmed himself down. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Lu Sui confronted him for a moment, smiled bitterly, lowered his head, and relaxed his tense shoulders. "You don't understand? Can you tell me what you are doing? I'm grown up now, I can help you. Don't carry it all by yourself, let me share some of the burden, okay?"

It seemed that the uncle and nephew had never had a good conversation since his father passed away. Or perhaps the Army never gave him a chance to speak. Even if he asked and talked, the Army would always give him a perfunctory answer.

Lu Jun tried in vain to hide his panic and said in a hoarse voice, "What can I do? I asked Lawyer Zhou to come here today just to ask him. Can the information your father left behind bring Liu Guoqing to justice? How many years can he be sentenced to?"

Lu Sui stared at him gloomily, "What about before that?"

Lu Jun glanced at him lazily, "Did Xuan Bao tell you that?"

Lu Sui roared, "Don't change the subject!"

Lu Jun looked unhappy. He tried to hold back but couldn't help yelling back, "What are you yelling at? You are so stupid... You dare to yell at me! Lawyer Zhou came here because Xuanbao's uncle sold the house that his grandmother left for him. I want to consult how to buy the house back at the lowest price!"

He had lied to Lu Sui too many times, and Lu Sui didn't really believe him, so Lu Jun threw all the information in his hand into the brazier. "If you don't believe me, go ask your aunt. Why would I lie to you? I didn't want you to know because I was afraid you would think that your aunt and I were biased towards Xuan Bao."

Lu Sui's dark eyes were covered with smoke from the fire, and he realized later that he was being led by the Army again. It was impossible for him to find out anything, and the Army would not tell him.

Why don't you tell him?

Why?

"What did Lawyer Zhou say about my dad's case?"

"There is insufficient evidence, and the principal offender, Yu Yaodong, is already dead. Liu Guoqing was an accomplice, but he is now in a coma in the hospital. The people who knew about the incident at the time are nowhere to be found. We don't even know if they are dead or alive. Yu Jun sentenced her to death, and she would not admit it even if she knew."

The angry voices of the Army were a complaint against the injustice of the world.

But what's the use of being angry?

"Don't burn it. There will always be a way." Lu Sui snatched the information from his hand.

The soldier took two long puffs of his cigarette and threw the butt into the brazier.

"Let's just leave it at that. Even if Liu Guoqing is sentenced, he won't be sentenced to death. At most, he will spend the rest of his life in prison. People of his age generally won't be made to do hard labor. It's no different from moving to another place to retire. It's better to be outside..." It will be convenient for him to take action anytime and anywhere!

Lu Sui growled unwillingly, "So my dad died in such an unclear way?"

"He is not unaware, you and I both know it. Even if the truth comes out, who would care about it except you, me and your aunt? This truth is at most just gossip to pass the time for others. But for me and your aunt, it is another fate worse than death!"

The truth that comes late is worthless.

It's a joke at best!
