Recognition
Early in the morning, before daybreak, Li Ao rushed to the house to recognize his daughter!
He waited at the gate until dawn, until the people inside got up.
"Could there be a mistake? How could I be your daughter?" Canyue took the DNA report from Li Ao's hand with a joking expression, and quickly glanced through it. His eyes widened and he was so surprised that he couldn't utter a word when he uttered the last few words.
"I know this is too sudden and it's hard for you to accept it, but this is the truth. You are absolutely my daughter!" His moist eyes were filled with gentle excitement, joy of regaining what he had lost, irreparable guilt, heartache, and self-blame, and a love that he could give his all to! "It was wrong of me to do the DNA test without telling you! But in order to find you, I couldn't care less! I'm sorry! It took me so long to find you! You must have suffered a lot!"
"This, this is too sudden for me. Please give me some time, okay? I want to be alone and quiet and think it over!" Cangyue wondered if he had ulterior motives and was lying, but his eyes were so sincere that he almost showed her his heart! It didn't sound like he was lying at all. And what did he want from her by having her as his daughter? A man like him already had everything!
I originally thought he was here to pursue me, but I never expected that he was actually looking for my daughter!
In fact, there is nothing wrong with suddenly having such a wealthy father. She, who has never experienced fatherly love, also has some desire for it.
"Yes, of course! I just hope you won't resist or reject me as your father! Give me a chance to make it up to you!" Li Ao begged, hoping that she would not blame him for not fulfilling his father's responsibilities until now.
The thought of mistaking his daughter for over twenty years made him wish he could die to atone for his mistake! He wondered how she'd been doing these past few years. She looked pretty well-off, seemingly well-fed. He wondered what her profession was, but it must be a very impressive one to afford such a comfortable life. He felt somewhat comforted to see her living comfortably. But he still worried about whether her work was too tiring. If it was, she might want to quit and return to the Li family to live comfortably as the eldest daughter.
Cangyue thought she should talk to Yan Mingchi about this first, and only after getting his permission would she dare to acknowledge him as her father! But when she returned to the organization, she found that Yan Mingchi had disappeared for a long time.
It was almost noon and the streets were bustling with people. Not only were the doors and windows of Yue Lanxiu's detective agency closed, but even the curtains were drawn tightly, which was unusual. A man went up and pressed the doorbell for a long time but no one responded. He made sure again and again that there was really no one inside before leaving.
But there were people in the room, two of them at that. They were sitting on the sofa, their entire attention absorbed by a little-known video playing on the player.
This video and this player were both obtained by Yue Lanxiu from Puppet Villa, and were only repaired now.
Fortunately he fixed it, otherwise no one would know this secret!
The video shows two people drinking in a secret room. This secret room is the one that Yue Lanxiu found blown up in Puppet Villa, but the video was taken before the explosion, or even longer ago.
Although the picture was relatively clear, the two people had their backs to the camera the entire time, and not only their front faces but also their side faces were never shown. The only way to know who they were was to listen to their conversation!
"Honglang, you can rest in peace! I have sent Tang Zhen to you..." The person who spoke was holding a photo in his hand, and his behavior seemed to be caressing the person in the photo. His voice was a little drunk and choked with sobs, and was full of grief and desolation.
"The person is gone, but the love remains! Brother Luosha, I really admire your infatuation with Pian Fenghong! I never thought that there could be such deep feelings in this world. It is really touching. I want to do something for your love from the bottom of my heart!" another person sighed, and the two sat across a table from each other.
He said nice words, but put some white powder in the other person's wine glass while he was not paying attention.
"No need for such flattery!" The voice of the man called Luosha suddenly turned cold. "Since you helped me kill Tang Zhen, then I will also help you deal with Fu You. I originally wanted to catch Li Ao, Yue Lanhui and others in one fell swoop, but they were much more cunning than I thought! I underestimated them! But don't worry, the blame has been put on Fu You! I will find another way for the other two. In short, the property left by Tang Zhen will be yours and mine sooner or later!" After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.
The other one was called Lin Yu. He sighed and said, "I dare not have any unrealistic thoughts. I just want to protect myself now. You have failed twice. What if Fu You also fails? I can't afford to take the risk. So after thinking about it, I think it's best for you to take the blame!" Seeing that the other party drank the wine that he had poisoned, his tone of voice was obviously different!
"What do you mean?!" The man called Luosha wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt an excruciating pain in his chest. He covered his chest with one hand and slowly pointed at the man called Lin Yu with the other hand. He said in disbelief, "You actually poisoned me?!"
"What else can I do? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for your incompetence! Shouldn't you thank me? I'm going to send you to your lover! You should be happy!"
"I should have realized that you are an ungrateful and despicable person! You betrayed Fu You, so naturally you will betray me! You said that I was incompetent, but in fact you wanted to take everything for yourself! You will definitely get your retribution!" After saying this, the man fell down from his seat.
The remaining people began to set up the scene for love suicide!
Finally, he took out a piece of paper that looked like a suicide note from his pocket and placed it on the chest of the murdered person.
Just when he felt that everything was perfect and laughed with satisfaction, the motionless person on the ground suddenly moved again, and a hand grabbed his neck with speed faster than the blink of an eye.
"Even if I, Rakshasa, am poisoned, I can still kill you!"
This man named Lin Yu was obviously no match for Luosha. Even though he was poisoned, he still couldn't break free from the other's control. In the end, he died in disbelief and unwillingness!
And Rakshasa also fainted afterwards!
The picture becomes still until the recording stops.
Xu Rongxuan calmed down his inner shock before asking uncertainly, "So Luosha just fainted?"
"What else? The current Luosha is actually a ghost?" Yue Lanxiu couldn't help but admire Luosha's acting skills, and controlled the remote control in his hand to play the video again from the beginning.
"Do you think the Rakshasa in the video is the current Rakshasa?" Xu Rongxuan asked this because the two people in the video were never shown from the front from beginning to end, and there was almost no side view, or it was blurry, and they were always shown from the back.
"In the same timeline, in the same circle of relationships, I've never heard of two Rakshasas." Unless they're fake! Yue Lanxiu judged, his eyes fixed on the screen, afraid of missing any important details.
"Since it was Luosha who killed Tang Zhen and pinned the blame on Fu You, why is he still pretending to avenge them? A case closed would only benefit him, so why doesn't he shy away from suspicion? Instead, he's fabricating public opinion to overturn the verdict, and keeps saying he wants to find the real culprit?" Xu Rongxuan pointed out the irrationality. "Could it be that revenge for Tang Zhen is just an excuse, and he really just wants to kill Xia Tianhan, Yue Lanhui, Li Ao, and the others?"
"People like him never need an excuse to kill! Also, there may be someone else creating public opinion, or it may not be just him! In short, what we need to figure out is what exactly he is trying to do?" Yue Lanxiu stared at the screen with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"If those people die, the Yue clan will fall into Yue Lanjing's hands, and he will be the sole controller! And his relationship with Yue Lanjing is extraordinary. Helping Yue Lanjing is equivalent to helping himself. It is also possible that those people have offended his lover, so in the final analysis he is still avenging his lover!" Xu Rongxuan reasoned.
Yue Lanxiu nodded, but his brows were still furrowed in confusion. "It always feels weird! Why are the two people in the video so coincidentally not showing their faces? It feels like they're deliberately not showing their faces!"
"Your explanation doesn't make sense. They deliberately didn't show their faces. Did they know there were surveillance cameras? Then why didn't they destroy the surveillance cameras first? Why did they say such selfless words and do such selfless things? And in the end, they didn't even destroy the surveillance cameras!" Xu Rongxuan raised an objection.
"This is also what I can't understand!" Yue Lanxiu frowned and said in confusion.
Yue Lanxiu watched the video again and again, and suddenly realized something and said in surprise, "This Lin Yu and the Lin Yu I saw in the photo don't seem to be the same person!"
"How do you know?"
To confirm, Yue Lanxiu immediately took out a photo of Lin Yu from the desk drawer, took a look and showed an expression of as expected.
Yue Lanxiu showed it to Xu Rongxuan for comparison. Half a minute later, Xu Rongxuan also noticed it. "There's a large, iconic black mole between the thumb and long finger of Lin Yu's hand in the photo, but there's none in the video!"
"It's very strange! I don't think there are two Lin Yus in this incident!" Yue Lanxiu pondered.
"Could it be that Lin Yu in the video has already removed the mole on the back of her hand?"
Yue Lanxiu raised an eyebrow, "Now that you put it that way, I was thinking it was too complicated!"
"What do you think?"
"I haven't figured it out yet. I'll tell you when I do."
"But who killed Tang Zhen? Why did he kill Tang Zhen? And then there were the cases of Xia Tianhan and Yue Lanhui. All of these can be confirmed to be Luosha's doing! He's really good at playing the thief crying thief! He's played us all around!" Xu Rongxuan said with a serious face, slapping his thigh angrily. "It's a pity that there's not enough evidence. We can't sue him based on reasoning alone!"
Yue Lanxiu nodded. Even with the videotape, he couldn't be convicted, mainly because his face wasn't shown! However, "Is it really him?" Yue Lanxiu always felt that there was something strange about this video!
In Zhuang Yulin's office, Zhuang Youya sat on the sofa, looking dazed with a sad face. She had been waiting for her father for a long time. She came to learn about her father's past. As a daughter, she had the right to know what kind of person her father was in the past!
While waiting, she fell asleep on the sofa.
When Zhuang Yulin and his secretary and confidant returned to the office, their vision was obstructed due to the angle and they did not notice the person lying on the sofa.
The sound of their conversation gradually woke her up, especially the three words "Yue Lanxiu" mentioned by the secretary, which made her wake up instantly.
"I've discovered that Yue Lanxiu is secretly investigating Lin Yu, and it seems he's also investigating you! I've tried to stop him multiple times, but he shows no sign of stopping."
Zhuang Yuling stared in astonishment, then frowned. After thinking for a moment, he ordered, "Continue to stop him. He must be stopped! Use force if necessary! In any case, he must not know about me!"
"Okay, I know what to do!"
Zhuang Youya held her breath, her heart sank. She didn't dare to move, not even to breathe. Her father must not have known she was lying on the sofa, so he was talking to the secretary without any scruples.
Oh my God! She wanted to get up and see if that man was really her father. How could he say such terrible things? What kind of force was he going to use? Was he going to kill him to silence him? Was he going to kill him because Xiu had found out about his shameful past? No, no! That man was not her father! Tears rolled down her face unbearably!
Less than a minute after the secretary left the office, Zhuang Yuling remembered something and hurriedly chased after her. He caught up with the secretary and warned her, "Remember, don't hurt anyone!"
Looking at the breathless boss, the secretary was stunned for a moment, then understood and said, "Yes!"
Yue Lanxiu is Yue Lanhuan's son, and Yue Lanhuan is the woman Zhuang Yulin has loved for a long time. He will not do anything to make her sad.
Zhuang Youya took advantage of the moment her father left to quickly flee the office, and in a hurry, her cell phone fell on the table and she did not take it away.
She now had only one thought in mind, which was to quickly inform Yue Lanxiu to prevent him from encountering any accidents!
When she got into the car, she realized that she had forgotten her cell phone in her father's office. She didn't know how to face her father, so she chose to go directly to Yue Lanxiu and tell him in person to comfort her homesickness.
When she drove to the vicinity of Yue Lanxiu's detective agency, she saw him driving away. Without thinking, she followed him. All she knew now was that she had to tell him as soon as possible that someone was trying to harm him! But with her ability, how could she possibly keep up with Yue Lanxiu?
She had no choice but to rush back to her father's company to get her phone back.
After getting the phone, she immediately called Yue Lanxiu, but Yue Lanxiu was at Luosha now, where the signal was interfered with, so it was normal that she couldn't get through.
Just when she was at a loss, a strange text message came. When she opened it, it said: I am Yue Lanxiu. My phone had a problem before and I couldn’t answer calls. If you have anything, please use this number to contact me. However, it is not convenient for me to answer calls now, but I can receive text messages.
"I have something important to discuss with you. Where are you now?" Zhuang Youya immediately typed this message and replied.
The other party immediately sent her a location.
She was delighted and immediately drove to find Yue Lanxiu.
Following the location, she found Yue Lanxiu's car. He had parked in front of a forest, and she parked next to him. This place was much farther and more secluded than she had imagined, a completely unfamiliar place! But knowing Yue Lanxiu was nearby, she wasn't afraid at all! Furthermore, the place was filled with verdant mountains and clear waters, dotted with a myriad of flowers, a dazzling array of colors, and breathtaking beauty. Had she arrived at Monet's garden?
She was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery and didn't feel the danger at all. This was considered a deep forest in the mountains.
She stood in front of a turquoise lake, took deep breaths repeatedly, and suddenly felt full of energy.
There was only a small path in front of her, extending into the deep woods. She judged that Yue Lanxiu must have taken this path, so she quickened her pace and ran in without thinking much.
Yue Lanxiu thought it over and decided to go to Luosha. He wanted to ask some questions in person because he didn't think Luosha was the real murderer! Thinking about it the other way around, if Luosha was the murderer who killed Tang Zhen, why would he adopt Tang Zhen's daughter? Didn't he hate Tang Zhen very much...
He thought Rakshasa must know something! He must be hiding something!
When Yue Lanxiu came to visit, Luosha and Yue Lanjing, who were talking about something, were very surprised and could not guess his purpose.
Yue Lanjing remained in the office, while Luosha went to greet the guests.
"Why are you here!" A sweet and surprised voice sounded behind Yue Lanxiu. He was sitting in the pavilion waiting for Luosha, but he didn't expect Sixteen to come first.
"I'm not here to see you." Yue Lanxiu said without turning his head. His bored look was in stark contrast to her ecstatic expression.
Sixteen's smile froze, and then, as if she had thought of something, the corners of her mouth lifted up in joy again, "I heard you're divorced?"
Yue Lanxiu turned a deaf ear to it.
"Have you ever considered remarrying?" Sixteen walked up to him with her hands behind her back. She usually didn't wear makeup, but now she put on some, which made her look more mature and charming, and more seductive.
But Yue Lanxiu didn't even bother to raise his eyelids and said, "Yes!" From the moment of divorce, he was thinking about how to remarry!
Sixteen was stunned. Such a straightforward answer. Could it be that he has found someone new?! "You've found someone again so soon? Who is it?!" Her expression looked as if she had missed out on a billion.
"Don't mind your own business!"
"I want to..."
"What a rare guest!" Luosha's voice, as loud as a bell, came from afar, interrupting Sixteen's words.
Seeing his master coming, he stepped aside consciously.
"Why didn't you inform me earlier? That way I could treat you well!" Luosha sat down opposite Yue Lanxiu across the stone table.
"I wouldn't dare! I still remember the previous entertainments. It's not something an ordinary person like me can afford!" Yue Lanxiu said politely.
Luosha glared and said, "If you were an ordinary person, we would all be fools! Tell me, how are you, an ordinary person, going to bully us fools today?"
"Have you seen Sun Wukong? He also calls Zhu Bajie a fool, and that fool is also good at turning the tables!" Yue Lanxiu said sarcastically.
"Yue Lanxiu, you are not allowed to be rude to my master!" Sixteen looked furious on the surface, but inwardly she was sweating for him! Did he really think that her master was afraid of him and couldn't control him?
"It's none of your business, go away." Luosha stopped him, and Sixteen had to step aside, not daring to interrupt again.
Luosha ordered his men to make the best tea, but Yue Lanxiu quickly said, "No, I don't want to drink it."
"I drank it myself." Luosha looked at me as if he was not giving it to you.
Yue Lanxiu didn't take it seriously. Instead, he smiled confidently and said, "You won't be able to drink it soon. I'm not in the mood to drink."
Luosha had a smile on his face all the time, but after hearing his words, he couldn't help but frown, "So you are here just to spoil my appetite?" The implication is that you are here to go against me?
"It's you who should be disappointed!" Yue Lanxiu corrected.
He looked like he knew everything about you, and Luosha wanted to punch him a few times. Finally, he calmed down and asked, "Where did you get that from?"
"This story has to start from Puppet Villa." Yue Lanxiu stared at every expression on his face and said.
"Puppet Villa? If I'm guessing correctly, it should be Yan Mingchi's territory. What does it have to do with me?" Luosha said calmly, "My people went there once, but that was because Yan Mingchi captured my apprentice. I haven't settled the score with him yet!" When this matter was mentioned, Luosha's eyes flashed with murderous intent! "Why did he whisper something in your ear again?"
Unknowingly, Yue Lanxiu has become the target that both Luosha and Yan Mingchi want to win over!
Yue Lanxiu had a look on his face that said, "I came to see you this time because it has nothing to do with him! Puppet Villa is indeed owned by Yan Mingchi now, but the previous owner was Pian Fenghong, and what I want to talk about is also related to him."
Luosha was startled, but in less than a second, the inappropriate expression on his face disappeared without a trace. He said nonchalantly, "Oh." After a simple reply, he remained calm and waited for his next words.
"He was deeply in love with Tang Zhen and even committed suicide for him. Given your relationship with Tang Zhen, you've probably heard of him, haven't you?" Should I say this old man's acting is good? When he mentioned Pian Fenghong, the old man looked indifferent, as if he was completely unfamiliar with her.
"I really don't know that person, and I have no interest in knowing him. When I met Tang Zhen, he had already died!" Luosha looked like he was telling the truth, without any sign of lying.
"You don't know him, but you should know the basement of his villa, right?" As soon as these words came out, Luosha's eyes and expression finally changed. Although the change was very small, Yue Lanxiu caught the abnormality at this moment, lost his composure, and felt uneasy as if his secret had been spied on.
"Why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to leave?" Luosha glanced at Shiliudao.
Although Sixteen was reluctant, he had to listen to his master's words and left, looking back every three steps.
Yue Lanxiu smiled. If he didn't have something to hide, why would he send others away?
But Luosha was still playing dumb, "I don't know what you are talking about?"
"I saw you in his basement!"
Luosha was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He had been to the basement before, but at that time, the brat was still drinking milk! "Ridiculous!"
"Why don't you ask me how I saw it?" Yue Lanxiu was sure from Luosha's reaction that Luosha must have been to that basement!
"I was just about to ask, I'm curious, how did you see that? Did you see it while wearing open-crotch pants?"
"I saw it on the surveillance camera." Yue Lanxiu spoke slowly and calmly.
"Surveillance?" Luosha's smile froze.
"You don't know? Well, how could you know? If you knew, you would have destroyed the surveillance camera twenty years ago!" Fortunately, the surveillance camera was installed extremely secretly. If it weren't for the explosion, it might not have been discovered!
"Surveillance footage from twenty years ago? Are you kidding me?"
"Indeed, preserving twenty years of surveillance footage isn't easy! It took me ages to fix it, and it took a lot of effort! Would you like to take a look and see if it's good enough?" Yue Lanxiu took out a USB drive and placed it in front of Luosha. "It was originally a videotape, but considering you might not have a player that old, I copied the contents onto this USB drive!"
"Thank you for your thoughtful consideration!" Luosha said sullenly, then with a gesture, he summoned a distant servant to fetch his laptop. He stared at Yue Lanxiu without blinking, his sharp gaze dissecting his inner thoughts like a ray of light. What on earth was this brat trying to do?
"I can even summarize the main points for you in just four words," Yue Lanxiu paused, staring back at him fearlessly, neither angry nor intimidating, yet making it difficult to look directly at him. Her red lips spoke clearly, "You killed someone!"
The softly spoken words were like a bolt of thunder. Luosha was obviously shocked and his face turned pale.
His reaction told Yue Lanxiu that Luosha did have an unknown secret in Puppet Villa!
Luosha stared at Yue Lanxiu intently, and in an instant, tens of thousands of invisible cold arrows seemed to shoot out from his eyes. A chill burst out from his body, colder than the freezing wind!
Did he want to silence him? But he wouldn't do that. Yue Lanxiu remained calm, knowing his thoughts perfectly.
After a moment, the dark clouds on Luosha's face slowly dissipated, just as Yue Lanxiu had predicted. Luosha thought, this brat must have planned everything long ago before daring to come here alone. This cunning man must have expected to be silenced, so he must have had a perfect countermeasure in place! Oh, he should save his energy!
"I have been to that secret room and did kill someone there, but since you have seen the video, you should know that this was self-defense! If he hadn't poisoned me first, I wouldn't have taken his life! He was the one who betrayed me first! Not only did he want to kill me, he also wanted to pin the blame of Tang Zhen's murder on me! I treated him well. After so many years of life and death, I never thought that he would frame me like this and put me to death. I killed him in a rage!" Luosha said with pain. This was a past event he didn't want to recall.
"Is he just trying to frame you? Didn't you two conspire to end up being abandoned after the rabbit's death?" Yue Lanxiu frowned slightly. Luosha's words and behavior were somewhat different from those in the video. The two people in the video looked like they were colluding for profit, with no real feelings between them!
"Conspiracy?" Luosha spitted excitedly, "You think he and I conspired to kill Tang Zhen?! Why would I kill Tang Zhen? He saved my life and helped me deal with my mortal enemy. He is also my good brother and shares my happiness. Why would I kill him?"
"Because he killed Pian Fenghong." Yue Lanxiu didn't know if it was because Luosha seemed to be very skilled in martial arts, but he felt that he didn't seem to be lying.
"So, I want to kill him?" Luosha said with an air of fantasy, "What a joke! Why would I kill my brother because of a pervert? You said I killed that pervert because of Tang Zhen, that's a little more reasonable!"
"I thought you liked that pervert!" Yue Lanxiu thought he called him pervert very fluently and looked with disdain on him, and it didn't sound like he was acting.
"How is that possible!" Luosha said with a frown, his beard standing up in anger.
It was the first time that Yue Lanxiu saw someone who could be so angry that his eyebrows stood up. It didn't seem like he was pretending. He looked blushing and his blood pressure had risen a lot.
"But I do bear unshirkable responsibility for Tang Zhen's death," Luosha said, his mood suddenly sinking to a low point, feeling guilty and blaming himself. "I didn't notice the people around me were turning against me. If I had noticed sooner, Tang Zhen might not have died! I was too negligent towards my brothers. I had no idea he was deeply in love with Pian Fenghong."
"Are you saying that one of your brothers killed Tang Zhen? Because he was in love with Pian Fenghong, and Pian Fenghong died for Tang Zhen, so he wanted revenge?" Yue Lanxiu was a little confused. The main reason was that what Luosha said seemed to be the opposite of what was in the video. In the video, Luosha was in love with Pian Fenghong, but Luosha said that his brother was in love with Pian Fenghong.
Luosha nodded with regret, his eyes lost in memories. "One night my brother suddenly told me that he had found the suspect who killed Tang Zhen, and asked me to go with him to investigate, so I followed him to Puppet Villa. He said he found a very important clue in the basement, so we went to the basement. There were many photos of Tang Zhen on the table in the basement, and the word "kill" was written on each photo. I was attracted by these and neglected his strangeness, and I never thought that he would betray me! While I was looking through the photos, he left the basement and closed the stone door of the basement. When I realized his intentions, it was too late. White smoke began to spew out from all around. I thought it should be poison gas. He actually wanted to poison me to death!" There was still disbelief in Luosha's eyes at this time.
Yue Lanxiu was secretly surprised. This was different from what was said in the video. He continued to ask calmly, "Then how did you escape in the end?"
Luosha snorted disdainfully, "At that time, I was researching a drug that could make me immune to all poisons, and I had been trying it. Maybe it worked, so those poisons have no effect on me at all! Fortunately, my brother didn't know about this, otherwise he would have tried another way to kill me. If he had tried another way, I might have really been killed by him!" Luosha was scared for a while, and continued, "I pretended to be poisoned and fell to the ground, wanting to see what he would do next. About three or four hours later, I heard the sound of the stone door opening, but he didn't come in immediately. Maybe he had to wait until the poison dissipated before coming in. About an hour or two later, he came in, muttering, I'm sorry, don't blame me, blame you for standing on Tang Zhen's side! Tang Zhen killed my beloved Hong Lang, he must die ! If you insist on avenging him, I will have to kill you too! Then he squatted beside me and tried to pour something into my mouth. Of course, I couldn’t let him succeed. I quickly snatched the vial of liquid from his hand and turned him upside down! He was shocked and begged for mercy. He actually had the nerve to beg for mercy! I asked him why he wanted to kill Tang Zhen. He said that he was instigated and instructed by someone, but there was actually another mastermind! I asked him who the mastermind was. He actually said that if I wanted to know, I should let him go first. At this time, he still dared to negotiate with me. I was so angry that I couldn’t bear it anymore. The hand that was pinching his neck accidentally slipped, and I heard the sound of his neck breaking. "After that, he let out a long breath, and the old anger that was suppressed in his heart finally had an outlet! After the secret hidden in his heart was spoken out, the whole person felt much more relaxed.
Yue Lanxiu raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Killing in the heat of passion doesn't constitute self-defense! I never thought you were so impatient when you were young. No matter what, we have to find out the mastermind first!"
"Humph! What I hate most is betrayal! He was the one who treated me unkindly first!"
"Speaking of being unkind, weren't you also unkind to Fu You?" Yue Lanxiu said with a cold look, "You knew it was your brother who killed Tang Zhen, so why didn't you explain everything to the police? If you had come forward and explained everything, Fu You might not have died, and his family wouldn't have suffered so much!"
Luosha closed his eyes in grief. "This is truly the most wrong thing I've ever done, the thing I regret the most! I was too selfish back then, only wanting to protect myself. If my brother were to be the true murderer, I was afraid that my relationship with him would be implicated. Someone would definitely think I was an accomplice, or even the mastermind, and then the reputation and status I had worked so hard to build would be ruined. So I secretly set fire to his body, letting the truth vanish along with it!"
"So you just watched Fu Youlai take the blame!" Yue Lanxiu rarely spoke in such a harsh tone.
"I wanted to save him. I didn't ignore him! I have been looking for evidence to prove his innocence, and I have never given up on finding the mastermind. It's just that I overestimated myself!" Luosha's voice became lower and lower, and the guilt on his face became more and more intense.
Yue Lanxiu could see that Luosha was truly repenting for this matter, otherwise he wouldn't have said so many things he shouldn't have said! Otherwise, his attitude would have been kicked out by Luosha long ago.
"I am sorry to Fu You! I watched him die without helping him. What's the difference between me and the real murderer! But I still hope you can keep this a secret for me for the time being. I don't want Jing to know." Luosha rarely showed a pleading look to Yue Lanxiu.
Yue Lanxiu wondered what this matter had to do with Yue Lanjing, and what role did he play in this complicated relationship?
"If Jing knew about this, he would definitely not want me as his master anymore!" Luosha said with a wry smile, "If the master he has always respected becomes the murderer of his father, he will definitely not be able to accept it!" Luosha's eyes showed heartache.
"Could Jing be Fu You's son?!" Yue Lanxiu suddenly realized, and also understood that everything Yue Lanjing did was revenge!
"You don't know? I thought you knew. Didn't Chao Rirou tell you? It seems that your relationship is just average!" Luosha did not miss the opportunity to attack him.
Yue Lanxiu rolled his eyes at him.
"After Fu You died, the orphans and widows he left behind were hunted down. I wanted to help them, but unfortunately, I only managed to save Jing in the end!"
"Where's Shui Wulian? She said she was Fu You's daughter, but she's not?"
"She's Tang Zhen's second daughter, Tang Baimei! She pretended to be Fu You's daughter because she knew your father, a policeman, had wronged Fu You. She hoped you would use this as a token of your affection to help her find the real culprit!" Luosha had no intention of hiding it from him at this point. And judging by his expression, he'd known it all along. "Aren't you surprised at all?" Luosha couldn't stand the way he looked, as if nothing could be hidden from him.
"I have speculated." Yue Lanxiu said briefly.
"Hmph!" Luosha didn't really dislike Yue Lanxiu. On the contrary, he always felt that he was very similar to his junior brother, which made him have an inexplicable sense of intimacy. "Tang Zhen's eldest daughter is Tang Qianjiao, and you sent her to prison!" He said the last sentence with gritted teeth.
"She wanted to go in on her own initiative! I didn't force her to break the law." Yue Lanxiu corrected.
"Are you going to send me in jail next? It doesn't matter to me if I go in!" Luosha had long been indifferent to power, fame and fortune. "I just hope you can let Jing go, and my disciples. They are just following my orders." These are the only things he can't let go.
"You're such a jerk! You've made me sound like a bad person! I still say, you reap what you sow. You've picked up a bitter melon, and you're expecting it to be sweet? But it's surprising that you, who are usually so heartless, can still show some humanity!"
"You little bastard..."
"You little brat, I'm trying to figure out who your brother Lin Yu colluded with to kill your friend and try to kill you too!" Yue Lanxiu took over his words and got back to the point.
"Wait, who is Lin Yu?" Luosha suddenly asked in confusion.
"Isn't that your brother? The one who wanted to poison you?" Yue Lanxiu was even more confused. What was going on? After all this time, were they talking about different things? The video clearly showed that it was the one named Lin Yu who poisoned him! Could it be...
"My brother's name is Qingshan, not Lin Yu. You're mistaken!"
Yue Lanxiu's doubts grew even greater. Now there was Qingshan! Lin Yu was still an unsolved mystery!
At this time, the servant brought the computer. In fact, the servant had brought it a long time ago, but when he saw that the atmosphere here was not right, he did not dare to go forward and could only observe from a distance.
The servant put down the computer and left at Rakshasa's instruction.
After confirming that no one else was around, Luosha opened the video. After watching it for just a few seconds, he jumped in surprise. "This isn't me! Who is this person? How dare they impersonate me!"
Yue Lanxiu was not too surprised. Luosha's expression looked as if he wanted to pull the person in the video out and eat him.
It seems that someone pretended to be Luosha and deliberately recorded this video! If Luosha is fake, then Lin Yu next to him might also be fake, because the real Lin Yu should have a big black mole between his two fingers.
Oh, things are getting more and more complicated!
"You little bastard, did you create this fake video just to trick me?" Luosha vented his anger at him.
Yue Lanxiu rolled his eyes at him calmly, "Do you think this is something I would do? If it were me, wouldn't they turn their backs on you, leaving you speechless?"
Luosha choked, knowing full well that his disguise skills had suffered losses once.
"Who do you think they are? Since they would frame you, they must be people who know you and hate you!" Yue Lanxiu deduced, and he had an idea in his mind.
Luosha stared at the person pretending to be him on the screen. His pupils suddenly contracted, but returned to normal after a moment. He said with hatred and helplessness, "Who else could it be? Who else could it be except my good brother!"
"Are you talking about Qingshan?" Yue Lanxiu explained. "In this video, Qingshan impersonated you and was poisoned to death, but you just said that you killed Qingshan. So, in this video, the Qingshan who impersonated you must not have died. He was faking his death, acting! If Qingshan's death was faked, then the other one is very likely faked as well. They were just acting from beginning to end!"
"What do they want to do?" Luosha sat back on the stool and asked Yue Lanxiu.
"If my inference is correct, their main purpose is to put the blame on the real Luosha and Lin Yu! This video should be shown to the police! Suppose, you were poisoned to death by Qingshan that day, then the police will definitely investigate how you died. If there is surveillance, that would be the best. The fake Luosha in the surveillance was poisoned to death by a man named Lin Yu, then the police will naturally think that the real Luosha lying on the ground was poisoned to death by Lin Yu! In that case, no one will think that the one in the video and the one lying on the ground are not the same Luosha! If my guess is correct, the real Lin Yu was going to die! The fake Lin Yu in the video was counterattacked! Then there should have been the body of the real Lin Yu at the scene. If your brother's plan succeeded, the cause of death of you and Lin Yu would be as shown in the video. After you killed Tang Zhen, you had an internal conflict and killed each other! But his plan failed, and ironically, he was counterattacked, so Lin Yu did not appear in the end. It can be said that Lin Yu's life and death are uncertain, and he is in great danger!" Yue Lanxiu finally figured out the whole thing.
Luosha clenched his fists and pounded the table in extreme dismay.
"What crime has the table committed? I suggest that instead of being angry, you might as well think about who is impersonating Lin Yu?" Yue Lanxiu hoped that Luosha would recognize him.
Luosha stared for a long time, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He gave Yue Lanxiu the feeling that the teacher had clearly explained this problem before, but he just couldn't remember it at once. Sure enough, he heard him slowly say, "This back, this every move, I really seem to have seen it somewhere before, but I can't remember it at once!"
"Don't you buy some Melatonin supplements?" Yue Lanxiu stopped his half-complaining, half-joking words immediately when he saw the other person glaring at him with a knife in his eyes. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Yue Lanjing rushing over here in a hurry.
"I hope you can keep it a secret from Jing. As long as you can do that, I can promise you anything!" Luosha whispered, as if he couldn't take his words back.
"Are you going to listen to me obediently from now on?" Yue Lanxiu said with an annoying smile. He would naturally not do anything to hurt Yue Lanjing, but Luosha's promise would be a waste for him to accept!
Luosha looked at him with only the whites of his eyes.
He thought Yue Lanjing was here to find Luosha. After all, he had long since stopped wanting to bother with Yue Lanxiu. He didn't expect that he would come here to find Yue Lanxiu.
"I have bad news to tell you. Is the woman who came with you your friend? She was wandering around in the woods, picking flowers at random, and accidentally got poisoned! You'd better find her quickly, otherwise something bad will happen!" Yue Lanjing came to remind him to save people.
Yue Lanxiu was surprised by his attitude. He saw that he seemed to be no longer so cold and sharp, but he didn't have time to think about the reason for his change of attitude. His words were a little confusing, "I came here alone!"
"Really? My subordinates told me that two people broke in on the surveillance video. I checked and one of them is you, and the other woman seems to be the eldest daughter of the banker. I'm not familiar with her, so I can't confirm it. Could it be that you didn't bring them here?"
"I didn't bring anyone here!" Yue Lanxiu was surprised. How could he bring Youya to such a place? He couldn't help but wonder if Yue Lanjing was playing some trick again.
Yue Lanjing had guessed what he would think. "If it's really not you, then excuse me. It seems this matter has nothing to do with you!" He turned around and instructed the subordinates following behind him, "We must find her as soon as possible. She is the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family. We can't afford any mistakes!"
As they were about to leave together, Yue Lanxiu stopped him and asked, "Where is that person now?" What if it really is Youya? He felt that he couldn't just ignore this matter.
"The surveillance only shows that she broke into the Hundred Flower Forest. There are no surveillance cameras in the Hundred Flower Forest, so we can only find her ourselves!"
"I'll help you find it!" Even if it wasn't Youya, but someone else had gotten into trouble, he wouldn't stand idly by.
Yue Lanjing had already figured this out, "Thank you for your help!"
Luosha looked puzzled as he watched the two hurriedly leave. It was clear that he was completely unaware of the intruder. Although Jing's attitude towards Yue Lanxiu had changed, he was the only one who could see that it was superficial. Jing still hated Yue Lanxiu very much!
