Chapter 301 The Truth
Luo Chuan was stunned by Jiang Duo's yelling.
But it wasn't because he was scolded.
The people behind her were also stunned by Jiang Duo's roar... What a tough girl.
Luo Chuan stared blankly at Jiang Duo, frowning and squeezing out a few words from between his teeth: "...You... like me?"
Jiang Duo grabbed Luo Chuan by the collar, pulled him hard in front of her face, and yelled at him, "Are you stupid? Why would I want to marry you if I don't like you?!"
Luo Chuan's face froze, his expression indescribably complicated.
He always thought Jiang Duo was joking when she said she wanted to marry him...
After all, Luochuan had heard Jiang Duo say this since the day he opened his eyes, but who would want to marry someone they haven't even spoken to yet?
In addition, Jiang Duo usually talks a lot and is close to everyone, so Luo Chuan naturally regards her words as entertainment during his illness.
He never thought that Jiang Duo was serious about marrying him.
Taking advantage of Luochuan's daze, Bai Yao was the first to react.
"Quick, take them both to get their stomachs pumped!"
The servants behind him rushed forward upon receiving the order and quickly pulled Jiang Duo and Luo Chuan, who were entangled with each other, apart.
"Prepare the instruments!"
Jiang Luan shouted anxiously towards the door, and the servants immediately escorted Luo Chuan and Jiang Duo out.
Bai Yao grabbed Qu Le who was about to follow and said, "Don't go yet. Wait until they are out of danger."
Qu Le's heart was still beating wildly, and the unignorable fear and confusion swept over her nerves. She longed to escape, but was pulled back into the silent abyss.
She tilted her face up, her pale lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a single syllable and couldn't calm down at all.
What happened in this hour was completely beyond Qu Le's ability to cope.
She was like a lonely soul drifting in the wind and rain, forgetting her own name and unable to find her way home.
Bai Yao grasped Qu Le's cold and trembling fingertips, held her in his arms, and comforted her bit by bit.
"It's okay...it's okay, everything will be okay."
"It's fine……"
…
Lu Qian only felt that there was endless darkness around him, and the passage of time seemed to have stopped at this moment.
The ship of the soul is crawling in the mud, struggling to round one cape after another, but finds that the harbor behind it is still not the one it expects to arrive at.
She kept thinking about the contents of the letter in her mind, but compared to hatred or grief, she felt more difficult to accept.
Qu Hao said Lu Ao was optimistic and wise, and a very good person...
Her father is a very good man...
He should have been a very good person.
She could hardly imagine what her father had gone through in those four years to transform from the optimist that Qu Hao described him as into a fierce ghost.
When he thought of this, Lu Qian's heart began to ache again.
Lu Ao was willing to return to the mainland to find them, mother and daughter. Does this mean that he had also thought about taking them away?
She had never hated her father, and that was what made the colic worse.
At that moment, she seemed to see Lu Ao from twenty years ago.
Lu Qian couldn't imagine what kind of mood Lu Ao was in when he went to join the L family, and she didn't know whether he felt the joy of revenge or sadness when he received the killing order from the young master.
The boat capsized in the storm, and was swallowed up by the huge waves. It finally grabbed a piece of driftwood and set off again.
But when he set out again, he had nothing. His dreams and future, his bravery and pride were all shattered in the sea.
Even he himself was thrown into that vortex.
What would have been their fate if the sixteen-year-old young master had not given the order?
…
etc.
Sixteen years old, young master... Rex?
A flash of electricity suddenly passed through my mind.
"Sixteen-year-old Young Master... following the Young Master's orders... How could it be following the Young Master's orders?..."
Lu Qian murmured, his brows furrowed, then relaxed, and then furrowed again.
Then she seemed to have figured something out, and her eyes widened.
The ship suddenly emerged from the fog. Although the lighthouse she wanted did not appear, a fork in the road she had never seen before appeared.
Cheng Yi was waiting anxiously outside the door, feeling very uncomfortable.
The sounds of retching and sobbing in the bathroom had died down for a while, but the silence made him even more uneasy.
Suddenly, the bathroom door was pushed open.
Lu Qian stood at the door, his aura no longer as shaky as before, but instead carried some fierce anger.
“…” Cheng Yi was about to say something.
Lu Qian looked at Cheng Yi seriously, not giving him a chance to speak.
"There's something wrong with this."
"What?" Cheng Yi was stunned by Lu Qian's incoherent words.
Lu Qian repeated: "There's something wrong with this whole thing."
She strode out of the bathroom, walked in front of Cheng Yi, and looked up at him. "When did you say Rex seized power?"
Cheng Yi was startled by Lu Qian's aura. "...It was probably after I came out of the Blood Prison, which was the fifth year after I was taken to England."
Lu Qian's brows furrowed when he heard this. "If he had seized power at that time, how could Lu Ao have followed his orders to arrest you two?!"
“……?”
Cheng Yi's eyelashes trembled suddenly, and he was stunned by Lu Qian's question.
Lu Qian lowered his head, shaking his head as he paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself, "No... No... There's something wrong with this."
"Brother Tang told me that after your mother, the former head of the family, passed away, the power of the L family completely shifted downwards, with the side branches seizing power and the old head of the family completely sidelined."
Lu Qian put his fingers to his lips, and his teeth kept chattering.
"If there really was a sideline seizure of power, how could Rex have the authority to issue orders?"
"If Lu Ao brought you back secretly...how could the research on your blood be carried out so quickly?"
"Also...if Lu Ao promised to save your lives, how could there be a so-called 'exchange of lives'?"
(P.S.: "Exchange of life" is what was mentioned earlier. Cheng Yi volunteered to participate in the blood experiment in exchange for Qu Le's life.)
Lu Qian slowly raised her head, horror and disbelief entering her eyes and pouring out of her mouth: "Including you being thrown into the blood prison... Was it really a coincidence that the 'power holder' decided on a whim?"
As Lu Qian's words entered Cheng Yi's ears, a shrill wail came from his ear, and a chill that went straight to the bottom of his heart suddenly surged up.
The silent storm enveloped him, suffocating him like water torture.
During the five years he was in charge of Tavia, he eliminated several branches of the L family, all of whom he considered to be his "enemies" from the past.
And Rex was just an object of power struggle by him.
He never doubted it.
At this moment, all his thoughts collapsed completely.
Lu Qian looked at Cheng Yi and said something that even she herself couldn't believe: "To speculate further..."
Her voice hung in the stagnant air, like the harsh sound of chalk on a blackboard:
"Could your mother's death... also be related to Rex?"
