Chapter 264: The Dust Settles

Born into such a wealthy and powerful family, the Third Master Lu was mediocre and incompetent. He was not valued at home and was even ridiculed and bullied. No one had ever thought he would reach this stage.

At a young age, he suffered from severe depression and tried to commit suicide several times to end his miserable life.

But when he finally made up his mind and stood on the top floor, facing the wind, Lin Suxian showed up. She stood with him on the top floor, turned her face sorrowfully, and asked him.

"Are you going to commit suicide? Let's do it together."

The wind and the setting sun came together. The wind blew her long hair, and in the setting sun, she was so beautiful that she seemed to step out of a painting.

At that moment, he was stunned and heard the sound of his heart skipping a beat.

But later he learned that this girl belonged to his eldest brother. That was why he could often see her. Even just catching a glimpse of her from afar, without any interaction, was enough.

Sometimes, being able to see the person you love happy is also a kind of satisfaction.

When he was at his most desperate, it was Lin Suxian's appearance that saved him and pulled him back from the brink of death.

He didn't dare to overstep his status and could only watch her from afar.

It was a pity that later, something unexpected happened. A man like Lu Huairen was simply unworthy of her! For his own selfish desires, he sent her to the execution ground!

He was heart - broken, but at that time, he was as cowardly as the young Lu Qianzhou and had no power to fight back, let alone confront Lu Huairen. So later, he swore to make himself strong. The only meaning of his life was to avenge Lin Suxian.

After years of lying in wait, his goal was finally achieved.

"Back then, there were countless people who knew about this, but they all chose to keep it a secret and let the matter pass. Lu Huairen concealed everything from the outside world and even forbade anyone to mention Suxian again!" He seemed unable to continue and shed tears. "It's so cruel... How could he be so cruel to a woman who had given everything for him!"

"Then what does all this you've done have to do with me, Jiang Yue, and Lan Mengfan? Why involve us in all this?" Yan Xia asked.

Perhaps because his emotions were stirred up, the Third Master Lu looked at Yan Xia with heavy breaths. Finally, he said, "That useless Lu Qianzhou had such a good opportunity but actually gave up revenge on Cheng Hua for you. The matter isn't over yet. Since he didn't want to do it, I had to supervise him myself. You're the perfect pawn. It would be a waste not to use you."

Yan Xia was extremely angry: "You're not supervising him at all. You're forcing him and harming him!"

How could there be such a shameless person in the world? It was bad enough that he had been deceiving Lu Qianzhou all along. After using him, he even spoke in such a matter - of - fact tone!

"Whether it's harming him or not isn't up to you to decide! For a woman, he didn't even avenge his mother's death. What's the meaning of a coward like him living in this world?" The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his tone turned fierce. "Who do you think you are? You're the daughter of a murderer! If it weren't for the fact that you were still a bit useful, I should have gotten rid of you long ago."

It turned out that he had already wanted to kill her. Poor Yan Xia didn't know anything at all and had always regarded the Third Master Lu as a respected elder and trusted him.

Yan Xia smiled: "Wen Liang was your man, right? Back then, it was you who colluded with him to kidnap me and frame Lu Qianzhou. You made me think that Lu Qianzhou was so cruel that he wanted to kill me, and I turned against him. Later, Lu Qianzhou said that Wen Liang had disappeared since then. In fact, he never disappeared. He's always been by your side because he had plastic surgery and became Zhou Qi, right?"

Her suspicion of Zhou Qi came from seeing the same tattoo on his body as on Wen Liang's in the sea. Now that she was sure that the Third Master Lu was the mastermind behind all this, it confirmed her guess.

The Third Master Lu said, "You've always been a smart person."

Everything was finally clear. Now she could call the police officers outside to come in and arrest the Third Master Lu at any time.

But Yan Xia didn't want to make it easy for him. Even if he was directly arrested, his goal had already been achieved. The heavy stone in his heart was finally put down. She didn't want to let him off so easily.

So Yan Xia said, "Why do you try to make yourself look so noble and clear yourself of all responsibility in these matters? Have you ever thought that in fact, you're the same kind of person as Lu Huairen. There's no difference between you at all."

The Third Master Lu was shocked and looked at Yan Xia in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Yan Xia said, "You used Lu Qianzhou and gave him hope, but you're the one who finally ruined him. You've harmed so many people for your own purposes but pretend to be indignant at the world. Don't you think you're being pretentious? In my opinion, you're no different from Lu Huairen. In fact, you're even more hateful!"

Because when he was cruel, he wouldn't even spare a young child.

"Moreover, your feelings for Lin Suxian were so obvious back then. Have you ever thought that maybe it was precisely because her concern for you and your love for her were too obvious. And when Lu Huairen found out about all this, that's why he was so heartless and abandoned Lin Suxian, leading to that incident. Maybe the bad result of this matter was caused by you from the very beginning!"

Yan Xia's words were sharp. She was determined to make him feel bad.

"Impossible. You're talking nonsense!" The Third Master Lu was panicked.

"It's just my guess, but I think it's very likely. Otherwise, why did Lu Huairen, who had no grudges against you at that time, always target you and dislike you? You coveted his woman. He spared your life, which was already out of brotherly affection. But you were not only insatiable but also plotted against him all these years."

Yan Xia's words were very bold.

But the Third Master Lu took them all in. His face immediately turned as pale as paper. The whole man was like a weak reed and suddenly slumped down.

Seeing his reaction, Yan Xia knew that her goal had been achieved.

So she said, "I'm sorry, but your answer can't convince me. Since you mentioned justice, then I also have to seek justice for my daughter! Those who did evil in the past have all been punished. Now it's your turn."

"The evidence should be enough. Come in, all of you." Yan Xia pressed the earpiece and said to the police officers on the other end.

Soon, several police officers rushed in from outside, ready to arrest the Third Master Lu.

But he slumped tiredly on the back of the chair. There was not a trace of fear on his face. He was just a little annoyed and self - blaming because of Yan Xia's words.

He closed his eyes and said, "Forget it, forget it... After all these years, those who did evil have all been punished. I think I've done right by you, Suxian. The biggest regret in my life is that I couldn't be with you for life. I hope we can be together well in the next life. Wait for me. I'm coming down to accompany you..."

He suddenly took out a gun and pointed it at his temple.
